An Address.


The following address has been
issued by President E. Al. Fitzger-
aid Of the Mississippi Press Assoc

70 the Mississippi Press:
AS July 1st is the beginning Of
the new fiscal year, and all Office
holders. merchants. planters. bank
ers and others who use commercial
printing such as record books of all
State and county offices, tax re-
ceipts, office supplies for county
officers, legal blanks, cotton books,

heads, bank deposit slips. remit

college opening invitations and
programs, engraved work Of every
description will be placing orders
during the next few months, /
thought it would not be out Of
place for tine attention OF the own
ers of job offices throughout the
State to be called to this important
matter. suggesting that the papers
of the State lend their efforts and
influence in the direction of urging
our bankers, merchants and office
holders the Importance of having
their work of all kinds done within
the State. There is a large amount
of printing sent to other States
annually that should be given to
our home Offices, for the reason
that the money sent out Of the
State is gone never to return.
This is good opportunity for
the newspapers Of the State to urge
county officers to give the county
paper with a job office their work.
OCCASIONALLY we come across an
arrogant county official who is in
different about having his printing
dome at home, but this is the ex-
ceptlon and not the rule, but even
officials of this class can be per-
suaded to do the right thing when
a primary election is only one year
loft. easier than any other time.
Let the newspaper. owners, whose
living largely depends on their job
office eschew politics for awhile and
devote their time to getting their
people educated up to the im-
portance Of having their work done
at home; in other words to go after
them for all their printing possible.
Believing that by a concerted
effort the condition of every news
paper and job Office in the State
can be materially benefited, /
Earnestly ask the hearty co opera
Etion Of every paper in the State in
Ethe direction of educating oar pe0s
| pie who are the best and most pa
tri0tic to be found anywhere. in
the habit of giving home offices
their job work and to subscribe and
pay for their home papers.
In conclusion, | want to say that
the home newspaper is just sa good
as the amount of patronage the
merchants of the community in
which it is printed will permit it
to be. and nothing helps a city or
town more than an up-to-date daily
or weekly paper.
Respectfully,
E. A. FITZGERALD,
President Mississippi Press Asso-
ciatiof.

portunity Of Meeting Each
Other For First Time
Saturday Afternoon.
NEW GAME TO MR.. ELDER
But You'll Find it the Most Fascin-
atins One Of Your Career,
Was Alderman Hickey's
Reply.

There was an interesting little in.
formal meeting in the city clerks of
fee Saturday Afternoon which result
ed in an Introduction of two of the
many commission candidates who are
now flooding the limelight.
OF course when Alderman I. j.
Hickey, candidate for commissioner,
and j. F. Elder, candidate for mayor,
accidentally dropped in on Clerk
Henry 7, Moore about the same time
there was nothing for Thomas Nc
Manus to do but launch the little
drama that followed 1t was a meet
ing between the man who has been
through the mill and the man who has
Just entered the country's greatest
game.
"You see," opened Mr. Elder, 81 am
entirely new to the game. see only
those on my side and do not see those
on the other
You will find it the most fascinat
ing game. and it is Just about time for
man of your age to get into it,
was Alderman Hickey's reply.
Il am getting warmed up to the
battle continued the mayoralty can
didate. | have the time on my hands
now, the only thing | have yet to
look after is getting ont few ties
in the south, which will consume but
little time. 1t seems to me the com.
mission form is good thing and will
prove its worth by trial"
WELL was the alderman's rejoind-
er, latter the first few years of adj
ministration of the commission form

prises may result The people will
see that We (meaning the mayor and
aldermen) are not as bad as they

| Naturally, if given fair trial,
said Mr.. Elder, "the new form of gov
eminent will manifest its weak
nesses"
Il think much depends upon getting
off right returned the commission
candidate.
Taking no Chances.
| 1t looks as II the commission can
| didates are taking no chances in
| filing their petitions, in as far as the
names are concerned. The highest
number of signers to any one petition
| is that brought in by j. F. Elder who
obtained 165 names Henry Reich.
