Kosciusko, Miss. July 24.-A
political rally was held Saturday
under the auspices of the Attala
county Vardaman Club, and it is
estimated that 1000 voters were
present. The speakers for the oc-
casion were Senator John L. He
bron, of Washington county: j. A.
Dicken, Of Holmes county, and
Theo. G. Bilbo, of Poplarville.
Wiley Sanders, State senator from
this district, presided, and intro
duced the speakers.
In the forenoon Hebron and Dick
en- spoke, and each received close
attention and frequent applause.
In the afternoon the crowd re-
assembled to hear Bilbo, who spoke
tor two hours. His speech was in
terrupted every few minutes by ap-
plause that was loud and long.
After he had finished his speech he
was carried from the speakers

his audience, with the balance of
the crowd bringing up the rear,
shouting and applauding. 1t can
be safely said that the crowd was

by the bank against his son, Sena-
tor Theodore G. BiIbo, this being
the suit filed by the bank to get
possession of the money paid over
to the grand jury of Kinds county
by Senator Bilbo in connection
with the Dulaney bribery case,
came to town today from his coun-
try home and stated that the suit
was filed without his knowledge or
consent, and Immediately severed
his connection with the bank. He
stated that he had read the bill and
knew that the charges in the bill
were untrue. and believe that the
bank had permitted itself to be in
veigIed into filing the suit by its
attorney for no other purpose than
to worry and harass his son, and
for political purposes solely and
without expecting belief or hope
of establishing any Of the charges
MIR. Bilbo was very much wrought
up over the action of the bank and
freely expressed the belief that a
grave injustice was being perpe-
trated against his son.

Boil MeevII Excursion 10 Mcneil.

The Leader publishes elsewhere
in today's issue announcement of
an exceptionally low excursion rate
put on by the Mississippi Central
Railroad Company from Natchez.
Brookhaven. Hattiesburg and inter-
mediate stations to Mcneil. Miss,
and return, the purpose being to
give the farmers an inexpensive
opportunity to see, examine and
profit by the State Experiment Sta
tion at Mcneil. The rate from
Brookhaven for the round trip is
$500. The train will leave Brook
haven at a. m. next Wednesday,,
Aug. 8, arriving at McNeill at IL
M, leaving there at 6 p. M, giv-
ing six hours for dinner, a speech
by Mr.. B. L. Moss and the inspec-
ton of various things of interest
about the station. The Leader
hopes a large number of our Lin
coin county farmers and business
men will avail themselves of this
opportunity to visit the Experiment
Station and profit by what is to be
learned there. There will also be
separate car attached to the train
for such colored farmers as may
wish to avail themselves Of this OPP
portunity to gain important knowl-
edge affecting their calling.
The government, the State and
scientific farmers generally are
united in an effort to convince
farmers of this section that new
ways of farming have been discoy-
cred which are superior to the old
ways, and that in diversified crops
there is both safety and profit
against the boil weevil, as we'll as
the Vaccinations Of the bulls and
bears Of Wall Street; and this rate
made by the Mississippi Central,
is that roads contribution to this
very important and progressive
movement. The road is to be
commended for this practical DEM
onstration of their interest in the
farming class along their line, and
their willingness to serve them;
and the farmers who can on such
reasonable terms get such valuable
educational aid to their line of
business, should not let the oppor-
tunity pass by. Farmers. as much
as any other class, should keep up
with the time. and there is a.
science in farming, as ii all other
callings of life. When labor and
mules were cheaper. the Southern
planter could afford the easy, old
way; but now that labor is scarce
and mules high, it behooves the
farmer to learn how. if he can, to
make one acre produce as much as
three were won't to produce in ''the
old way" A visit to the expert
ment station will be worth any
farmers time and money.
Remember, next Wednesday is
the day.

AMONG those who keep. tab on
the business affairs of Delaware,
and the institutions it is support
ing, a feeling or realization is
growing that the tuberculosis
fad for which the State treasury
pays out fifteen thousand dollars
annually. needs closer regulation.
The appropriation could be cut in
halt and efficient work be accom-
plished along practical lines. 1t is
at least time to separate sentimental
fad from practical business treat
ment, and its a duty the next
Legislature should keep in mind

things along building good roads
in Delaware. We believe firmly
that the State should create high
way between its northern boundry
at Pennsylvania and the southern
bouudry of Maryland. 1t would
be better to have the road divide
into prongs, at or near Dover, and
pass down through lower Kent and
Sussex. Were this accomplished,
the counties would soon see the
advantage of good roads, and build
lateral roads to connect with this
main State highway. Such road
would bring into the State hundreds
/ Of tourists who never come among
us now, and when the knowledge
of our splendid advantages from
sea and land, and close proximity
to the great cities is realized, thous-
ands of people will come to the Del
aware peninsula to make their
homes with us. Our lands will
increase in value, our crops can be
marketed with automobile trucks
and effect a saving to the producer,
and even should the road cost a
million of money, the advantages
Of it, would be a splendid invest
ment for the people. As proof,
see the railroads which were built
largely by the people of Delaware
guaranteeing the bonds and pur-
chasing the stock which have
caused the development Of lower
Delaware, and added scores of
millions to values of property.
Look at and discuss the question of
good roads. but also remember,
that it is time to act.

IT was a good omen and shows
the trend Of the progress which has
been made in the public mind,
when the gathering Of postmasters
from Delaware in convention al
Wilmington last month, discussed
the advantages of parcels post
for the people. 1t is the great re-
lief, and the only relief the people
have in sight, from the extortion
for carrying express packages by
the great companies now monopo-
lizing the business in the United
States. In this period of reform
and progress, this great relief must
come to the people, and the Repub-
lican Party being the party Of pro-
gress must create the reform and
the laws to carry it into effect. An
exchange says
with parcels post systems in
operation and benefcially so in
practically all leading foreign
countries, it would seem to be but
a short time until such a system,
or a modification of it, will be a.
dopted in this country. Country
dwellers are beginning to make in
sistent demand for the adoption of
the plan, and this means that the
professional politician who has his
ear nearer TO the speaking tube of
the express companies than the
folks out in the corn, wheat and
cotton fields will have to get busy
shortly if he stays in Office.

THERE is always a disappointed
candidate, but outside of this one
source there can be no criticism OF
the ticket as named by the Repub-
licans of either Kent or Sussex
counties. In Sussex the candidate
for Clerk of the Peace is Mark L.
Davis, of Milford, and he is so
well known that little can be said
in his praise that the public is not
already familiar with. He is a
business man widely known; he
has represented Milford in the
House of Representatives at Do
yer; he has been the county chair
man Of Sussex for several years for
the Republicans and this is his first
county Office candidacy Mark l..
Davis is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton, and he will have handsome
majority. He deserves it.
