In every schoolhouse in Prince

containing a creed for the Amer.
lean country boy and dedicated
to the Boys Corn Club of Vir-
ginia has been posted. It reads:
Il believe that the country
which God made is more beauti-
full than the city which man
made; that life out of doors and
in touch with the earth is the
natural life of man. | believe
that work with nature is more
inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. / be-
lieve that the dignity of labor de-
ponds not on what you do, but
how you do it; that opportunity
to a boy on the farm as Of
ten as to a boy in the city; that
life is larger and freer and hap
pier on the farm than in the
town; that my success depends
not upon my location, but upon
myself; not upon my dreams, but
upon what I actually do; not upon
luck, but upon pluck. I believe
in working when you work and
in playing when you play, and in
and demanding a square
deal in every act of life."

hopes to visit Alcorn county in
the very near future and is derir-

the borders of the county, and

Sideration.

Fighter Worth While.

South Mississippi owes a vote
Of thanks to R. L. Simpson, of
GulfpOrt, the man who accom-
pllshed the defeat Of the Bailey
agricultural land bill.
To the efforts of Mr.. Simpson,
who waged the battle almost sin
gle-handed, the downfall of that
radical and ubiquitous measure
was almost wholly due.
What is more remarkable still,
Mr.. Simpson had no more inter-
est in the question than that
which should have been cherished
by every progressive MISSISSIPPI
plan, Realizing what the far
reaching effects of such a dras-
tic law would be, he simply
dropped his personal business
affairs, and, at a heavy sacrifice,
came to Jackson to tell the law
makers what he thought of the
bill.
Two weeks ago the passage of
the Bailey measure seemed prac-
tically certain. Against over
whelming odds, Mr.. Simpson
planned his campaign, went to
work, and, by conducting a fair,
frank and manly battle in the
open, accomplished its defeat.
Few men have the nerve to
tackle such an undertaking, and
If the people of South Mississip-
do not hold a monster mass

to r. L. Simpson, then

Representative Hobson is not
so firm in prohibition as sup
posed. This will be recognized
in the following life preserver,
with which he has equipped his
national water wagon: my reso-
luton for nationwide prohibition,
prohibits the manufacture of al
coholic or spirituous liquors or
wines for sale, their shipping for
sale, their exporting or import

hibit a man from making wines

for his own use." Here we have

threw off her heavy fur coat and
big picture hat ana plunged into ten
feet Of water today in an effort to res

1ampered her efforts by attempting to
"escue his mistress, who he evidently
thought was drowning.
The body of the boy was recovered
by men from the neighboring mill.
The boy was a son of divorced par

the Cascade mill, recently brought him
'om Ellensburg and he was playing
with two companions on floating saw
