The Stump In The Way.

The one great obstacle in the way
Of the rapid growth aad develop
ment Of this section Of Mississippi is
the stump. There is no debate or
question about the climate, the soil
or the water. II the stumps were
out Of the way the influx Of farming
classes to South Mississippi would
be nearly as great as the rush Of
fortune seekers TO California when
gold was first discovered there. But
the stump is in the way; very much
in the way. To get rid Of it is an
expensive proposition, a serious pro-
position, discouraging proposition.
It is a proposition that will be worked
out in time; but just now the stump
is great hindrance to the growth
and development and prosperity Of
Mississippi.
But while the stump is hard
thing to get rid of, it is an easy
thing for cattle to get around, and
the best and easiest and quickest
solution Of the South Mississippi
problem, we think, is to covert these
millions Of acres Of cut-over land into
cattle ranches. .-Hattesburg News.

are determined to take away
from the people the direct prim-
airy, the initiative and referendum
and the right of recall.
Every corrupt interest in the

This law was drafted for the
purpose of correcting the evils

farmer to an eigh-hour day, or

The law provides that in the
