District Attorney Hili's reply to
Hon. Jas. A. Finley.

Dear Sir
| Your attitude as 70 holding a specia
primary to see who was the choice o.
the Democracy Of Lee County has
changed almost as much as your
political affiliations have.
You remember that you solicited my
vote and influence for the Hon Leroy
Percy. who was then q candidate be-
fore the Legislature OF Mississippi tol
United States Senator, before ! left
Tupelo to go to Jackson. and you moi
only appealed to me to support Mr..
Percy on his ability and qualifications
for the office alone. but stated that Mr..
Percy was related on connected with
your family by marriage and that on
personal grounds you would appreciate
it if / would carefully consider his
claims before casting my vote.
When Mr.. Mitchell was talking of
making the race for District Attorney
you told me that he said he was going
to submit proposition to both of us to
have special primary in Lee county
and you said that you would not go
into it as you was running all over the
district and was not candidate in Lee
county alone. So again you have
changed positions.
When was appointed BY the Cover
nor he stated that be would not ap-
point any one who would not be a candi-
date for reelection. So it was by
implication understood that ! would be
candidate before the people of the
district for reelection,
You certainly can afford to make the
race on your merits and trust the peo-
Pile of the District to pass on your
qualifications. / am making the race
on my record in the Courts and my
record as lawyer.
What would my good friends in Tisho-
mingo, Prentiss. Alcorh and Itawamba
counties, where have held courts, and
the other counties whore I have never
appeared as distric. attorney, say about
this proposition? Are they to be de-
barred from saying Who they would
have to serve them? Are tie peopls Of
the First Judicial Districtof Missss ppi
not capable of passing ID your quallfica-
tions and mine? Then Why say to them.

Love of Trees.

We find our most soothing compan-
lonship in trees among which we have
lived, some of which we ourselves may
have planted. We lean against them,
and they never betray our trust, they
shield us from the sun and from the
rain, their spring welcome Is a new
birth which never loses its freshness,
they lay their beautiful robes at our
feet in autumn; in winter they stand
and wait, emblems of patience and of
truth, for they hide nothing, not even
the little leaf buds which hint to us
Of hope, the last element i'll their triple
symbolism.-Dr o. w. Holmes.
