It is sad state of affairs for
this country when few men get
so lousy with money that they can
say, as old Jim Patten said recent
ly, that the loss of a million dol
lars is to them only trife. Dis
cussing the recent slump in cotton
old Patten said: why, losing a
million or two in this kind of
fight is not any more to me than
losing dime is to you." Why
can lie. say thatl Because the ever
lasting old hog has got hundred
times more money than the law
ought to allow any one man to
have. People, the system that
allows a thing like that needs
changing and there is no use to
shut our eyes to the fact.

son had been convicted of the
murder Of Senator Carmack. An
appeal was taken and the Supreme
Court Of Tennessee confirmed the
judgment of the lower court as
to the old man, and ordered a new
trial in the case of the young des-
perado. The old mans sentence
was twenty years, but before the
Supreme Court got through with
the trial that fellow Patterson who
dlsgraces the governors chair had
written out and delivered a full
pardon for. the old mink-eyed
murderer. And he did it without
the formality of. any petition or
other request for pardon. Pat
-terson had his pardon mill already
creased and the belt on. At the
appointed time he only touched
button and the work was done.
The Supreme Court was kicked
aside like a last. summers foot
ball and a convicted murderer was
a free man.

battle of Doodle and booze against
truth and temperance, and the lik-
ker gang won. So. they sent Car
mack on to glory and have used

cyclone if it walked up and
shook its fist in your face? In
other words, can you recognize
the opportunity of a lifetime
when you see it? If so, you'd
better muzzle your gab-trap be-
fore it goes off half-cocked on the
woman suffrage question.
Ii you will crawl off of that
goods box and put your ear to the
ground you will hear a mighty
rumbling. That's the Woman's
Suffrage Special coming down the
line at mile a, minute, and all
who don't climb on board or take
to the woods will get run over.
You may think this is only bluff
game that the women are pulling
off half ripe, but you just hold
your snipe-bag and you'll see.
Sure, Mike, it's exactly like | tell
you. There's going to be music
IN the air pretty soon, and the
man who wants a good seat in the
band wagon had better apply
early.
When the women of this coun-
try begin to line up in battle array
and ask for something, as they
are now doing, the men might
just as we'll throw up their hands
and surrender. Socialism and
Cannonism and the tariff, and all
that class of kiln-dried questions,
will be lost sight of in the coming
campaign. They will only be
side shows. Woman suffrage will
occupy the big tent and draw the
crowd.
The Fool-Killer is not ashamed
nor afraid to come out in the open
and whoop it up for the women.
In fact, if it will do you any good
to call this a woman suffrage pa
per, you have my permission to do
so, for | certainly favor it. rather
than oppose it.
There are lots of ways in which
woman suffrage would help. In
the first place, it would give the
women something to do besides
tagging around after old fumiky
Fashion and filtering neighbor-
hood gossip through the san9s Of
time. Most women are full of
life and energy and must have
something to do. AS long as we
refuse to let them take any part
in the affairs of government, we
can't blame them if they run wild
over the frills of fashion and rip
the hem off of their modesty in
the saw-briers of Snobdom.
Say Woman Suffrage to some
men and is like shaking a red
rag at a bull. They want to climb
a tree and yell bloody murder.
They believe that if women were
given the ballot it would cause
the government to jump the track
and turn million double sum-
mersaults right dab into the hot

China would think it an unpardon-
able sin for their women folks to
eat at the same table with the
men. The Chinese women must
eat Oft the kitchen floor and sleep
IN the dog-house. And we have
some alleged men here in America
who would like to see our women
treated in the same way. They
Will admit that the American wo-
man IS good enough to love and
marry and sleep with, but they
swear she hasn't got sense enough
to vote. What a pity! The State
tells me | can vote, and my. right
to do SO has never been challenged
at the polls. And if | didn't be-
lleve my wife is just as fit to: vote
as am, I wouldn't live with her,
dog my-cats if [ would. !.
There are thousands of tobacco
scented, likker-guzzling, foul
mouthed, good-for-nothing panta-
loon-racks who would go naked
and perish to death if their poor
little wives didn't take in washing.
And yet when election day comes
these low-down trollops will strut
around and say to their wives:
Look-ee here, you slaves, we
patriotic men are going to the
election to-day to help save the
State. You stay here and wash
them old pants that we rolled in
the mud with when we were
drunk the other day. That's all
you are fit for.''
And SO it goes. .
Our progress along the road
that leads away from heathenism
can be read in the position that
woman holds among men. The
nations that hold woman as a
slave continue to founder in dark
ness. Every recognition Of the
rights Of woman is step toward
the light.
One ridiculous argument that
they bring up against woman suf-
frage is this: They declare that
the average voting-place on cleo
ton day is not a fit place for a
woman to be. They say there is
too much drinking and, cursing
and foul talk. Question: What
makes it that way! Answer: The
men. The presence of women
would change all that. Woman
suffrage will purify the atmos-
phere around the voting place.
And whatever will purify the
voting place will purify the ma
ton. There are thousands of
good reasons for giving woman
the ballot, and not one sensible
argument against it.

THE GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE.

Brandon beat in common with other
beats in various counties all over Missis-
sippi is agitating the question of issuing
bonds for the Improvement of its pub
lie highways and will hold an election
ordered by the board Of supervisors at
Its monthly meeting this week, on Thurs
day, August the 25th, to determine wheth-
er Rankin shall keep step with her pro-
gresSive sisters or continue to struggle
along with bad roads,
A citizen of this town with pessi-
miStic view remarked that "Road bonds
are an impossibility in Brandon beat.
How can we pay bond interest" While
it was not so intended, (nor is it true
for the cost is very little-only $500 per
year on $500 farm, this brief statement
if true, from the pessimistic brother con-
stituteS one of the best arguments in favor
of the good roads that could be adj
vanced.
If Brandon beat is so poor that it
cannot bear a two mill levy to have $780,
900 spent on her highways then something
is radically wrong and the chances ar
that the trouble is due in large measure
TO her poor roads, for her land and her
people are first class There is no single
factor more vital to the progress of COM
munity than good roads. 1t does not make
any difference how fertile the soil may
be, or how great the variety of pro-
ducts that. can be grown to advantage, it
will all come to naught if provision is not
made for hauling the produce to market.
Good roads make it possible for the far
mers to haul their produce to town with
minimum loss of time and minimum wear
and tear on their vehicles
They make farming a prosperous occu-
patton and add immensely to the value
of farm lands. They are to the farmer
just what the rail road is to the town
they bring him in touch with the outside
world with which he must do business
if he is to prosper as he should. The
people of this beat should turn out and
vote for better roads.
1t not only means enhanced values of
property, but it means greater prosperity
to the individual and the enjoyment of adj
vantages that are impossible when high
ways are impossible.

BOND ISSUE ELECTION, Thu
DAY, AUG. IS, 1910.
THURS

At the July meeting of the board of
supervisors a petition of $50 citizens
Of beat number was presented to the
Board of Supervisors, asking that $4,000
of Bonds, bearing per cent interest,
be issued for the purpose of building good
roads in this supervisors district. Upon
carefully going over the petition seven
names were stricken off as the signers
were not qualified electors, leaving 143.
Notice was given by the president
of the board of supervisors of the pro-
posed issue of bonds that should coun-
ter petition of 20 per cent be gotten up
an election would be held to determine
whethere such issue should be nioie
AT the August meeting a petition of
81 signers was presented, which, upor
investigation, was cut down to IS as six
signers were not qualified electors.
1t required 81 to be the requisite num-
ber(-2o per centum of the total registered
vote of beat e-- and, had the usual
procedure of eliminating those that signed
both petitions been carried out as hereto
fore the protestants would have lacked a
few of having enough, but the committee
representing the Bond Issue petition re-
queSted the board to let the petition stand
and not cut off of it those who signed
against as it would kill that petition and
could not hurt the original one as it could
stand a trimming of 10 odd, and then
have over 20 per cent. The board
then ordered an election to be held at
all voting places in beat number on
Thursday, August 2sth next, to determine
the question as to whether beat 2 shall
have good roads, 1t is up to the voters
to say whether the highways shall be as
they are, and have been for SO years,
or whether we shall make a splendid
step forward in the march of progress,
keeping track with other counties who
are, building up.
