GREENyIILE, MISS, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 25 1909

entered prize contest given by the
management of the General Causai-
~ Co, an insurance company with
headquarters at Philadelphia. The
conditions of the contest were that
each agent who sold this insurance,
the premiums OF which amounted to
$4,000 the agent was to receive
free trip to the east. Mr. Roper was
one OF ten to so from Mississippi
Another condition was a trip to
Europe, with all expenses paid TO the
agent who sold $1,000 worth of prem
iums within specified time. In
this contest Mr. Roper was the only
agent from this state who qualified
for and is emitted 70 the foreign trip.
Mr.. Roper is one of the agents
connected with Mr. Geo. Wheatley,s
agency, and considering the short
time in which he has been engaged
IN the insurance business, has made
most remarkable record. The Times
predicts a successful future for him.

To REDISTRICT MISS.
EFFORT TO BE MADE AT NEXT
LEGISLATIVE
SESSION.

There will be few, if any. entries
in the various contests for circuit
judgeships where the appointments
are not to be made until after the
convening OF the legislature or until
after the adjournment of that body.
says the Meridian Dispatch
This is somewhat in contrast with
the growing prevalence OF long cam
paisns, but it has a very good rea-
son behind it.
During the legislative session there
will be strenuous effort made to
have the state redistricted and re-
iuce the size and number of circuit
districts by the creation OF two or
three new districts
While this will be welcome relief

that the man who has become in
toxicated by drinking vile whiskey
obtained from blind tiger. and with
a pistol in his pocket. Is menace TO
the community. As has been shown
time and time again in the past. with
little provocation, he will commit
