issued the following:
"To the Voters of the Seventh
Congressional District: Notwith-

tain newspapers to the contrary, l
shall take no stock in the coming

ly free to vote in the coming pri-
mary as their judgments dictate.
| feel that the friends who were
loyal to me in the first prima ry
may be relied on to support those

cation of our politics, and this
without hint or suggestion from

CONDITION OF COTTON
THE TlMES-DEMOCRAT'S CROP REPORT
FOR AUGUST.
4 Distinct Falling OFF in the Belt Dur
Ing the Past Month.

The Times Democrat of Monday
published its monthly cotton report
giving summary of the condition
of the crop in all the cotton States
during the month of August.
Thesconsensus of opinion is to
the following effect:
l. While the accounts from some
sections are good, distinct deter
ioration has been the rule.
2. Louisiana seems to have been
the greatest sufferer and the raw
ages of the boil weevil promise to
complete the work of the elements.
The pest has made itself felt in
Arkansas also, but nothing like the
same extent.
8. The supply of labor for pick
ing seems to be plentiful through
out the Belt.
4. Farmers are disposed to hold,
wherever pressing obligations do
not force them to sell.
5. The weather during this
month will probably have deci-
sive influence on the yield.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1908-09-09
! The Report from Lincoln.

Broekhaven, Miss, Sept. q
The cotton crop in this territory
has deteriorated quite materially
since the first of August, estimated
'variously at from 10 to 15 per cent.
The rainy weather during the early
part of last month. ruined the
bloom; for several days successively
and made the weed grow too fast.
If no disaster occurs from now on,
however, the yield will be an aver
age one.
The fair weather of the last ten
days or two weeks has caused the
early cotton to open freely. There
is no complaint, so far, of lack of
|pickers.
Where not compelled to sell the
disposition of farmers is to hold
for ten cents.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1908-09-09
Political Morals.

There is no middle ground in
morals. To every moral PROPOSE
tion there are just two sides the
right side and the wrong side and
the man who endeavors to compro-
mise at any point between these
two sides is in reality upon the
wrong side.
Of late years, however, there
have come upon the stage of public
events a number of men who have
endeavored to set up two different
standards of morals one to fit per-
sonal matters and the other to be
used in the treatment of political
questions.
Not few of these double-stand-
ard men have been approved, but
they are being eliminated from
public life as rapidly as the people
are given an opportunity to express
their opinions Of them at the polls.
They are being driven from the
halls of Congress, already, and the
time is coming when they will be
driven from the lesser stations as
we'll.
Men, claiming to be irreproach-
able personally, men whose personal
morals have never before been ques-
toned, have attempted to keep that
private record clean, while engaged
in dirty political work, but the time
for such double dealings is now
past and gone. There is no reason
why public man should not be as
clean politically as he is in private
life there is no such thing as a
double standard of morals, no more
than there can be compromise be-
tween the wrong side and the right
side of moral proposition.
The day of the single-standard
moral man is at hand, the day of
the man who is clean personally
and clean otherwise. The day of
double-standard Of morals is no
longer with US. Shreveport Jour
nal.

Old Ladies Home.

The following appeal in behalf OF
the Old Ladies Home has been is
sued by Mrs. Marion B. Longino,
president of the State association
To the People of Mississippi:
Now that the ladies of the Old
Ladies Home Association are about
to realize the fruition of their
hopes and ambitions, | feel like it
is due the kind and generous peo-
pie, who have stood by them so no
bly, in their efforts to build this
home, to give them statement of
affairs concerning it.
The home will be finished on the
18th of this month. The furniture
has been ordered and will be placed
by the 1st of October, when it will
be ready for occupancy. The house
is modern in every particular and
built with special reference to the
comfort of aged women. So many
of our friends say to US, 1--WE are
going to help with the home, and
have intended to do SO all along,
but have just neglected it," We
beg you not to neglect it any long
.er. We need your help more now,
perhaps, than we ever will again.
When the keys are turned over and
furniture placed we will need Sc
800 to finist all payments. Besides
we need range, and all small ar
ticles for the kitchen, china,
knives, forks and spoons for the
dining room.
We will need two dozen COM
forts, four dozen sheets, four dozen
pillow cases, towels and table linen.
The many good women who desire
to contribute to this charity but
haven't the ready cash, can do SO
as efectually, at nominal cost, by
sending some of the above articles.
The local auxiliaries are requested
to solicit along these lines. Those
who send goods by express or
freight will please consign them to
Mrs. H. Y. Jones, matron of Old
Ladies Home, and are earnestly
requested to pay freight or express
charges. If those who can. will
help now, twill relieve this asso-
citation of great burden and bring
comfort to many poor, unfortunate
women who make touching appeals
to be sheltered before the frosts of
another winter. Papers through
out the State, friendly to this
cause, will please copy.
Very respectfully,
MARION b. LONGING.
