O'Donnell Sees How Others
Grow Berries.

r. +. o'Donnol, Sanford straw.
berry king, is in the city today. He
has just returned from the Louisiana
strawberry fields, where he says he
saw more strawberries yesterday than
he ever looked at before. Shipments
from that section yesterday totalled
eighty-tive car loads.
Mr. CaDonnell sa)every time h'-
visits that section becomes more
con vinced that for strawberry grow
ing South Mississippi has many ad
vantages over Louisiana, where there
are upwards OF 10000 acres devoted
to the business and the annualreturns
run above $4,000, 600. This opinion as
to the superiority of this section over
that for growing berries, says Mr..
O'Donnell, is shared by every intelH-
gent Italian berry grower now at
Sanford.
Two car loads were shipped from
Sanford Yesterday, besides large
number of crates sent by express to
nearby points. Hattlesbarg News.

LET ELLISYILLE ENTERTAIN OUR
FARMERS.

We suggest to the merchants
of Ellisville that they select som,
day in the near future for tht
entertainment of their country
friends. Let it be a Trades
Day or Fair, in which all car
take Tart, rand. will add greatly
to the interest of both town and
country. Let it be a picnic oc-
casion.
Let our merchants keep open
doors and offer their goods at
reduced prices as an inducement
to the people to come to Ellis
vile to trade, as well as show
ing a public spirit in building
up their town.
Let the country people bring
in the best OF their live stock
and farm products and show to
the world what Jonos county
can do and is doing.
1t might be a good idea to
offer a premium for the best
cali, colt, pig, lamb, chicken,
turkey, duck or goose raised in
the county, and for the best of
any kind Of fruit, vegetables, or
farm products.
Let these things be brought to
Ellisville on q day to be named
and lets see what our neighbors
are doing, and thereby stimulate
'ur people Ito greater effort in
improving their home town and
county.
The News offers this suggesti-
N to merchants and farmers
like, and invites discussion Of
he matter, believing that such
gathering would result in vast
'enefit to all concerned.

pen for any seuggestions along

self to use every effort for the
lccess of such movement.

CRITICISINC CONGR 0SMEN,

Some papers have very harsh
ly and we think unjustlY criti'
cised certain Congressman from
this State who saw proper tc
vote against measures adyooa ated
by President Wilson.
This we think is unfair and
uncalled for. The Democracy
loyably of these gentlemen have
never been questioned, and if
they cannot honorably and
with consistency agree with
his views, on certain public
mattere, with the President, we
should not try and force them to
do SO. In fact, they would be
unworthy Of support by an intel
ligent and fair minded constit.
uency did they through fear Of
popular resentment or timidity
support measures that they did
not believe would promote the
happiness Of their people and
were best for their country,
There wore no party issues in
volved in these matters, for both
were supported by Republicans
as we'll as Democrats
II any public man is deserving
Of contempt, it is one who will
falsify his convictions through
political cowardice. And Presi-
dent Wilson plainly shows that
be so holds these views, for he
telegraphed congratulations to
Leader Underwood on his nomi-
nation for the Y, S. Senate,
when at that time Mr.. Under
wood was opposing a repeal of
the free canal tolls bill one of the
Presidents pet measures.
Deliver US from a political
coat-tail swinger, or times-server
The President is not infallible,
and is as liable to error as any
other public man. What we
want in Congress are statesmen
who do their own thinking, and
not, "Me Toos,' to work like a
koo clock.
II these members do no worse
than vote their honest convictions
instead of being moulded by
those higher in authority, the
people have nothing to fear
from their actions. If. our re-

but the people OF our entire
country.
Such men as Joe Johnson, of
SpartanbuFg, s. c., are few and
far between in this degenerate
age, and his people are doing a
great work for both their district
and the country at large when
they retain him in office.
We have known Hon. Joseph
7. Johnson long and intimately,
and it did our heart good to see
him 30 highly endorsed and com
mended by such strong and
we'll informed papers as the
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
In fact, we notice that the press
Of the entire country is holding
Congressman Johnson of South
Carolina up as an example for
their members.
God never created a purer
heart or man more free from
the slightest taintof corruption.
You can always place Joe john
son, for be is ever on the side Of
ruth, right and justice. He is
not only an able statesman but he
IS a Christian gentleman, with !
heart oyerflowing with love and
charity for his feiIow-man.
The people Of the Old Spartan
District Of the Palmetto State are
wise in retaining Joe T. johnson
in Congress, for they viii never
find an abler or better man. He
Is not only honored in his own
country and by his own people,
out likewise abroad and through
nut the length and breadth Of
he land. MIR. johnson is really
Ioing a more important work for

masses than all OF those so-call- ?
d "leaders' combined. He is e
