To Prevent Trust Gobblilg Up Land

An act to amend. alter and

alton existing in this State may
be amended, altered, repealed or
revoked by the Legislature SO as
10 free agricultural, horticultural
and stock farming lands from
incorporation to u certain ex-
tent"
\ bill bearing this title was
introduced in the Senate by Sem
stor Russell. 1t is against cor
Dorations Senate. Russell ex
plains the bill in the following
words:
This bill, If adopted by this
Legislature, will secure to future
generations as well ~ to protect
the present, from the encroach-
ment OF corporate greed. The
moneyed interests of the world
have secured absolute control OF
coal, iron and all other products,
even the necessities uf HE of the
working Of the world. There l.
but one last chance in the South,
especially for the working man,
and that is to protect him from
the swiftly moving land trust
that has just begun TO encrocch
in 4 well defined way up n the
lands OF this country, and espec-
tally in Mississippi. II the
money interests secure control of
our best lands, the day Is not far
distant wnen u farmers shall
become serfs instead OF freedmen,
II this law, or a similar law, il
not passed now, the prospects is
that the larger portion OF our pest
lands will be Ownsd not oaly by
corporate Interests, but interests
foreign 10 US that will take the
earnings Of these lands 10 other
countries and no benefits will ac-
crue to our people. Agriculture
must go on-other industries
may come and go, but the world
must have the necessities of life.
There is another well known
feature about this problem that
IL far-reaching; every toiler in
this country wants and demands
at leas; enough privilege to have
a home of his own; the stability
OF all government depends upon
the welfare OF the producer; no
producer can be happy if he is
IN slavery; the poor man cannot
protect himself against money
sharks and organized wealth.
the law must protect him.

The remarkable success OF Rex

the high degree of scientific skill
used IN devIsing their formula as

In Memcry Of E. F. johnson.

Evandah Franklin johnson wa
born in Greenwood County, Tenn,
Jan. 18th, 1874. 70 lowing close
ly upon the close of the Civil War
he came to Mississippi and locat-
ed in the North western corner OF
Lafayette County where he has
since resided, departing this life
on Jan. "a, 1912, in the Goth year
of mis- age.
On the End day of March. 1865.
Mr.. johnson was married to Miss
Mary Langston, the daughter OF
John LangstOn, one OF the early
settlers OF that part of Lafayette
County. Time proved this to
have been a remarkably happy
union, for more than 81 years Mr
and Mrs. johnson lived together
on their beautiful and well order
ed family home stead, within a
short distance of where theyplisht
ed their marriaged vows. Their
congeniality in disposition and
loving devotion to one another
made that home a mode OF quiet,
peaceful and happy country life,
and 10 think OF il as it was when
1t was crowned with the Joy of
happy children and q fathers and
mothers love, surrounded with
the comforts of life, brings before
the mind n picture of that happy
condition belonging to that social
and prosperous rural life which
was to be found in so many Sec
tons of Mississippi, something
more than a generation ago, a
condition which is apparently fast
passing away from the country
life of our State. 1t was in this
good home that the children OF
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson we're born
and here, with two or perhaps
three exceptions these children
grew TO years of maturity and
four OF them, one son and three
daughters are now the heads OF
families of their own and one
daughter, the baby child remains
single.
Mr.. Johnson was baptized into
the faith of Christ in the summer
of 1882, under the preaching of
DIR. b. w. Lauderdale and up to
the day of his death he remained
devoutly loyal to and earnestly
jealous in behalf Of the faith he
had ~espoused. Mr.. Johnson was
not the sort of man to turn away

roused it, and those who enjoyed
the privileges Of his acqaaint-
