he Is mistaken.
"fTis true that, for the past fifteen
years, great hordes OF citizens from
other states have heard OF the won

have cast their lots with us. From
the gentleman's own state and his
own district they have come, not one,
but many have come, and they have
remained, Citizens from no section
have been more welcome than they,
and no part OF our citizenship is max
ing better progress and better citizens
than those erstwhile constituents OF

that in my own district lands that
ten years ago were worth IS az acre

surely the gentleman would not
have this house and the country at

state advertise that which they have
not, Her rich prairies, her hills, her
majestic forests OF virgin .pine, her
fertile lands OF the delta, her naviga.
BILE streams, her delightful climate
the hospitality OF her people, and her
wonderful progress within the past
ten years, all answer the assertion
of the distinguished gentleman, and

floor Of this house, the land OF his
district at the expense OF the fertile
lands OF my state.
"Mr. Chairman, Mississippi needs
no voice in this chamber to defend
her natural resources, her progress,
and her own record,
while the march OF her industrial
and commercial progress has been
wonderful and the prowess OF her PEG.
pie marvellous, she has enrolled on the
list OF great men In American history
