Miss Mary Lou Moody's class O,

friends last Friday evening al
Saunders Opera House with most
interesting program. The pupils,

A Plea For Concrete Walks.

Editor East Missis sippi Times
A year or two ago we got enthusl-
astic over good sidewalks and the
result was the resident portion OF
town was improved, and property
values enhanced, by a great deal
OF concrete sidewalks being laid.
Since then very little has been
done in the walk building line,
with the exception of the walk
from the town to the college,
which was planned and ordered
about the time the other walks
were being laid. LET us revive the
sidewalk building. A trip over
the city will convince any one it IS
necessary; where there are plank
walks they are rotten and full of
dangerous holes, and it would GER
tainly be poor policy and worse
economy to replace them with new
plank walks only to rot away
again in a few years. There are
many streets in the town where
permanent walks are a necessity
and the property owners along
these streets would surely not OBJ
ject to bearing their part of the
expense as it would increase the
value of their property many folds
more than the work would cost.

Candidates Addres the Dear People Of
Jeff Davis County.

Accepting the courtesy Of Judge
A. X. eathersby, who turned the
court room over to them for time
last Monday, during session OF
the civil term of the circuit court
here, three candidates for high of
fees in this state and district made
impassioned pleas to the dear peo-
pie of Jeff Davis county for their
support in the coming political
Marathon. Two of them were
rival candidates. The trio con
sisted of Capt. Wiley n. Nash, of
Stark vile, candidate for lieutenant
governor of the state; Hon. ii. III.
Parker, of PopIarville, candidate
for. prosecuting attorney Ct this
judicial district; Hon. Toxey Hall,
of Columbia, whose political aspi-
rations flow along the same chan
nels as those of Mr.. Parker. Ow-
ing to the fact that all of them
came unan"ounced, their audien-
ces were not us great as they would
have been otherwise, hut it was an
enthusiastic crowd that heard them
speak.
Capt. Nash addressed the audi
tors in the forenoon, and talked
but briefly. Capt. Nash is a

GOV. HARMON WILL NOT BE HERE
Hon. Clarence Poe Will Deliver Com

The Times is in receipt of an in

tion is the following letter from
President Hardy which is self.
explanatory:
You will see from the enclosed
Invitation that Gov. Harmon had ac-
cepted an invitation to deliver oul
Commencement Address on June Z.
On account, however, of the polit-
ical situation in Ohio, it was i'm
possible for him to leave at this
time. While we regretted his in
ability to be with us, yet we
agreed with MIN that he should
remain at his post of duty at this
critical juncture.
Hon. Earl Brewer then agreed
to take his place, but found that
conflicting engagements compelled
him to cancel.
Hon. Clarence Poe, editor-in-
chief of the Progressive Farmer at
Raleigh, N. c., and joint editor
with DR.. Butler of the Southern
Farm Gazette at Starkville, came
to our relief, and will deliyer the
address. His subject is How to
Build up Mississippi and the
South. - We are fortunate in
being able to secure the services of
Mr.. Poe, as he is just back from
trip around the world, in which
he made thorough study of agri-
cultural conditions, and no man in
the south knows southern agri-
culture an1 it's needs better than
he. No man is doing more for the
development of the south. He is
a brilliant writer, an eloquent
speaker and a charming man. He
has an appropriate subject, and
should have splendid audience
from every section of the state.

The Gibbs Bilbo Incident.

BilbO in his speeches over the
state had characterized Major w
ID. Gibbs, of Yazoo City, as a
renegade Confederate soldier.
Like many other slanderous epi-
thets that this man has applied to
other prominent citizens, there
was not the least foundation for
such charge, as Major Gibbs was
. gallant soldier with record for
bravery and patriotism.
When Bilbo had occasion to
pass through Yazoo City, Major
Gibbs home town the Major
hunted him up and broke a gold
headed walking stick over his head
knocking him down. When Bilbo
got to his feet Gibbs reminded him
of the fact that he had boasted of
the brace of automatic pistols that
he always carried and invited Bilbo
to shoot it out with him. The in
vitation was declined and Bilbo
left on the first train,

he is kept busy lodging the 'buz

approaching at Il terrifying speed

that certain regulations be enforc-

BARRETTISSUESTIMELY WARNING.
Urges the Farmers Union to Beware

of the Class Preaching Politicians.
Union City, Ga, May 8 -Th,
Following notable address to th,
members OF the Farmers Union
has been issued by President G.. S,
Barrett:
10 the Officers and Members of
the Farmers Union:
Upon my several visits to Wash.
lngton during the sessions of con-
gress, | have more than ever been
impressed with the demagogy that

lie will go into the country dis

sentiment against the city to a
frenzy.
When the returns are all in YOU
will find that he has been elected
by a, country majority.
When he gests to Washington,
what does he do? Continue to fla,
the residents of the city. and to
take the farmer to his loving
breast?
Not so.
He starts upon one of the cum
ningest straddles he can devise.
For instance, take the parcels
post.
lie probably went through the
district before election, promising
all the farmers that one of the
first things he would do when he
reached office would be to get
them a general parcels post.
Does he fulfill that promise to
the letter?
Not so you could notice it,
He studies the election returns
faithfully.
He finds that a large part of the
vote against him came from the
cities.
His object, therefore, is to rub
the city mans ba TX, and at the
same time not to make an enemy
of the farmer,
so he frames up parcels post
that lets the farmer ship into the
city, but that protects the little
city merchant from far-off compe-
tition by making no provision for
return shipments.
Thus he has given the man in
the country a shadow of redemp-
ton of his promise, And he has
made n grand-stand play to the
man in the city,
This is only given for an illus
tration. There are many others.
| have seen congressman after
congressman get into Office by APP
pealing to the class prejudice of
the farmer, aud then turn straight
around and work might and main
to get things for the city, that he
might melt the opposition against
him,
1t Is this sort of thing, the con-
slant lining up of country against
city, that is one of the greatest
bars to progress,
The city man Is often led to be-
lieve that the country man regards
him with suspicion and hostility
and vice versa.
What is the RESULT
! They both suffer in the long
run.
They hesitate upon uniting il
measures in which they are botl
interested,
When good government is a
stake in the state, the county, OF
nation, they are sometimes rs fa
apart as the polls, when they
should be fighting under the sam,
