Pearre is Forced,

Discussing the political situation
in the Congressional districts, In
Maryland and particularly in the
Sixth district, Arthur Wallace Dunn,
correspondent OF the Woman's Daily
from Baltimore, takes the view that
Congressman Pearre quit the fight for
the nomination rather than fight
wealthy men who wanted his seat.
Mr.. Dunn sizes up the status or Mr..
Warner, the Republican nominee
correctly by saying that Mr.. War
ner's interests are largely i'm Wash
ington and he is better known in the
capital than elsewhere. At--' ,s
Mr.. Dunn says
"The sixth district has N. for ten
years been represented by one OF
the best men Maryland has had in
congress, but the factionaI fights and
the desire of wealthy Washington
men to represent the district became
SO great that Geo. A. Pearre, the
present Incumbent, finally withdrew.
from the contest Neither his purse
nor his inclination extended far
enough to fight all the men who want
cd the place This year the contest
between two Washington men or
wealth was very interestOing Nnd one
OF them won the nomination.
The nominee has a summer resi-
dence I'm the district, but his interests
are largely I'm Washington ana ne 49,
better known III the capital than else

Reducing Road Building Science

Monroe Na) News-Star.
The building of good roads las
become a science, but many advances
in good road construction can be
looked forward to in the near future.
Every district is compelled to use
the material at hand or adjacent, but
the question of how to adapt it so as
to produce the best roadway posi-
bic IS the important thing to be stu
died and learned, No general rule
for the construction of roads can be
applied everywhere alike, the local
conditions being so different. Many
States have Highway Boards or a
Road Commission and it should be
their duty to study the conditions
and material at hand and lustruc
the local authorities what to use and
how to use it.
Some States have taken great for
ward steps in bodybuilding. OF
these Maryland is one of the most
notable, mainly because of the activ-
ity of Governor Crothers. He has
nearly abolished the toll gates in
Maryland, and through his efforts
State bonds were voted and many
miles of good roads have been con
structed during the past two years,
and the work is being continued.

Should Supply The Home Markets.

Sou. Farm Gazette.
That there is a market in the South
for all kinds of farm products used in
the South is certain from the fact
that we are buyers and not sellers of
all farm products except cotton
Since we are known as buyers and
not sellers of farm products, no one
thinks of coming to US to buy farm
products, except cotton, and, there
fore, the occasional individual who is
an exception to the rule and has
something to sell is put at disad-
vantage. The market is here all right
for all sorts OF farm products, and all
the producer has to do is to let the
buying public know he has some
thing to sell. Buyers will not hunt
him up because they take it for
granted that he is like his neighbors
and has nothing to sell; but the pro
Queer must take the iniative and let
the public know he has something to
sell. When he does this, he sells it.

Possibly there are not many per-

Not long since | heard a gentleman

Praise For The Corn Club Boy.

Jones Co. News. -
The Corn Club boys-God bless
theml
Modestly, but surely, these boys
are laying the foundation for d new
empire.
They are pioneers in a region that
is rich in natural resources. bat
which has lain dormant for centuries
only awaiting the silent touch OF the
intelligent husbandmen to yield a.
bundantly of all that is necessary for
the subsistence of man.
More than hundred bushels OF
corn on one acre of land!
Not once, but over and over again
everywhere throughout Mississippi.
Do you wonder that the old resi-
dent, accustomed to yield of ten to
twenty bushels to the acre, is start
led by the revelation.
But facts are facts.
The boys are blazing the way.
And South Mississippi is coming
into its own.
