FARMFRS RAvE DONE
GREAT DEAL PLANTING

R. W. Thompson, local agricultural
demonstrator, has just returned from
the vicinity of Make and Conner. He
states that a great deal of planting
has been done in that section, but
that all crops will be late. Corn, es-
pecially has been planted freely, and
much attention is being given pota-
toes and early vegetables. Cane also
will be planted extensively.
While the rain has interfered seri-
ously with planting in that territory,
farmers generally are very optimistic.
Fruit now is evidently safe from
frosts, and this fact tends to make
them feel very hopeful.
Mr.. Thompson will leave Monday
for Newton where a meeting of dem.
onstration agents will be held on
Tuesday and Wednesday.

though probably the best admins
tratiOn Hattiesburg ever had under
the old form-the voters, grown tired
of mismanagement and squandering
taxpayers money with an increasing
burden of taxation, demanded a change
and overwhelmingly voted for Com
mission Government-clean govern
ment. DR.. Donald, by reason of his
experience was able to show conclu-
lively the advantages of commission
government over the old aldermanic
rule, and the bunglesome, cumber-
some, inefficient methods of the lat
ter try as he did to give the best ad-
ministration he was capable of. DR..
Donald spoke in part as follows:
A Clean Cut Statement.
81 take it that my position on this
question is so well known it is not
necessary that it be restated. How
ever [ deem it not amiss that | give
you some of the reasons for the faith
that is within me. Four years of ex-
perience with the aldermanic form
convinced me, as it will any man
who will give it honest consideration
with an honest desire to have the best
for his community, that it is unnec-
essarily cumbersome, unresponsive
and to a great extent irresponsible.
The wide distribution of authority
among so great a number of elective
officers makes it almost impossible to
fix responsibility. The committees
for the different departments are more
or less antagonistic; the marshall
with his commission direct from the
people recognizes no other authority;
the street commissioner exactly in the
same position, and in fact the heads
of all the departments free and in
dependent with no element of recall
in the hands of the people who elect
them, can do or not do just about as
they please. The right to fix salaries
rest absolutely with the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen and the taxpayers
have no recourse whatever Then
over and above all is the limitless op-
portunity for the small politician to
ply his trade, which he never fails to
do,and that to his own benefit without;
regard to the peoples interest.
