DAIRY XTENsIO WORK.

The Dairy Extension Work for the State is
now reorganized and through the cooperation of
the Extension Department of the A.. C M. College
and the Dairy Division of the U. S.. Department
of Agriculture there will be three men in the
State to assist in the building up of this much
needed industry, L.. A. Higgins, with headquar-
tiers at A. & NJ. College, Miss, will have charge of
the work. Mr.. }. P. La Master will carry on the
work already started in South Mississippi. Mr..
La Master will continue headquarters at Brook
haven, and a third man will be put on to work
with the dairymen in. the tick free area of the
State.
These men, on request from the dairymen,
go out to the dairy farms of the State and offer
suggestions as to the best methods of feeding and
handling the dairy herd, as well as the products
of the dairy COW, give demonstrations in making
and packing farm butter for market and assist in
getting markets for these products and bills of
material as well as personal supervision of the
erection of dairy barns, dairy houses, silos, and
the remodeling of old barns for sanitation and
convenience. They will furnish record sheets to
those desiring to keep daily records of the pro-
.duct'on and cost of each COW in the herd and
will give personal assistance to a limited number
in this work. They will do a limited amount of
rural school work when such work is desired by
the County Superintendent teachers, and pupils.
The services of these men are free and the
farmers of the State should use them in working
out their dairy problems.

UPHEAVAL IN NEWTON COUNTY.


A special from Decatur dated July 10th
gives the following gratifying political in
formation:
There has been a political upheaval in
Newton county during the past sixty days,
n the election returns two weeks or so
hence are going to be a decided surprise to
at least one Of the candidates for governor.
IN. M. Everett, the Bilbo candidate
for the Legislature, was given a terrific
grilling here yesterday by his two opponents,
Robert Rowsel and J.. F. N. Huddleston,
who dwelt especially on his record in the
special session of the Legislature. Everett
has announced himself as an aspirant for
the speakership, and claims that he is Bill
bo's choice for that honor"
It would, indeed, be a sad state of af-
fairs if Everett should be defeated for the
Legislature in Newton county and the State
be deprived Of the services of Bilbo's favor
ite for Speaker of that august law-making
body.

The first open cotton bolls in Lef1ore
County of the season begun to arrive at The
Commonwealth office the first Of the week,
being two or three weeks earlier than last
year. ;,
Manager E. L. Purnell Of Mr.. David
S. Jones' magnificent Nebo plantation, at
H~ighlandale, sent us an open boil taken from
the field on July 10Th, being of an early
variety. Mr.. Purnell reports that within a
few more days open bolls will be plentiful
on Nebo. He says that "crops have not
done so we'll the past few days on account
of the dry and hot weather, but they are
what | call good"
Hon. A. F. Gardner handed us an open
boil of cotton of the Early Prolific variety
taken from the field on his Boyd's Bayou
place, near Shellmound, on July 10Th, from
the crop Of one of his negro tenants, George
Reed. Mr.. Gardner reports his crops as
being excellent.
Capt. W. A. Swift sent us two open
bolls from his extensive Swiftown planta-
ton, which were taken from the field on
July 18th. His crops are also reported as
being excellent.
The crop prospects generally are excel
lent in this section, and, judging by the ear
ly opening of the ieecy staple, the first bale
Of new crop cotton is expected to arrive in
Greenwood about two weeks ahead of last
season.

SOME ELECTION FORECASTS.

A ~well-posted friend, who is a promi-
nent candidate for the Legislature from a
North Mississippi County, writes the editor
of The Commonwealth among other things
the following:
''My opponent started out in his race a
red-hot Bilbo supporter for Governor, but is
now according to orders from Jackson)
claiming and proclaiming to the people that
he is not working for Bilbo's election. The
turn is this: Bilbo sees that he is doomed
and in order to wreak vengeance, wants to
secure control Of the Legislature. Forecasts
from every section. of the State indicate that
it will be a difficult matter for Bilbo to get
into the second primary. This is my figur-
ing since talking with people in East Mis-
sissippi and other sections where / have
been"
We differ with our friend as to Bilbo
having trouble getting into the second pri-
mary. He is sure to be in the second pri-
mary with a fairly good lead over either
Quia or Rely, one Of whom will be in the
run-off with him.
Quin is the man to beat Bilbo with, be-
cause he will get and can hold away from
Bilbo more votes in the run-of than any
other candidate in the race. But we can
also beat him with Judge Rely, whose many
friends confidently assert will be in the Sec
ond primary.

SHOULD BE

Frank J. Barlow, the talented editor of
the Tunica Times, is a candidate for the
Legislature from his County and ought to
be elected on account of his qualifications
for the position. He has published a. first
class platform of principles upon which he
asks the people to pass Judgment at the
polls, but the following paragraphs would
get him our vote if we lived in Tunica
County:
'"The dehorning Of all political bucks
tiers, and their abolition from the state CAPT
tol.
"Strict enforcement of the laws against
the sale of intoxicating liquors and drugs.
''More business and less politics in our
Legislature.
Reform in every branch Of the State
government"
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1915-07-23
JOE DALE is SERIOUS.

Lest our quietude should be misconstrued as
a negative endorsement Of Mr.. Bilbo's candidacy,
we want to say this much, and we want to say
it slowly, deliberately, calmly, without any feel
ing to any one We are going to let the people
elect Mr.. Bilbo if they so desire and we are not
going to raise any fuss about it. We are not go
ing to leave the State, as some would threaten to
do. We are going ontrying to making a living just
the same as before. But we are one Of those
men who, as he walks before men in this life and
expects to face Almighty God in the judgment, is
voting as he prays. and would rather have his
body severed in twain, mis- vitals taken thence
and scattered to the four winds of heaven than
vote fol. 4 manof such type as Theodore G. Bilbo,
believing as he does certain things about the
man. Others may do as they please. They have
that inalienable right and privilege, and may God
speed the day when men viii refuse to be lined
aud vQted,4t the dictation Of any man or set
q men. rWastake orders from no one as to
who q vote ior, and pity the man Who does.

ELECTRIC MOSQUITO EXTERM1NAToR

Everybody in Mississippi is not engaged
in politics. One genius down at Jackson
has invented an electric motor which is to
act as a mosquito exterminator. His plan
is to have his motor revolve at just the right
speed to make a humming noise like that of
humming~ mosquitoes. That attracts all the
insects in the neighborhood, and as the
motor is surrounded with a metal screen,
charged with a powerful current, the mos
quitoes alighting On it are instantly electro
cuted. If this inventive genius will set a
few of his motors to work in some of the
swamps of Arkansas nearby he can collect
enough electrocuted mosquitoes to furnish a
fertilizing plant. Memphis Scimitar.
The inventor wont have any motors to
spare for use in the Arkansas swamps. It
will take all he can possibly have manufac-
tured in a lifetime to destroy the mosque
toes in and adjacent to Jackson.

THE STATE FAIR.
jackson. Miss, July Is, 1915.

JACKSON, MISS. July Is, 1915.
To the Peoples of Mississippi:
No doubt you have heard that your Capital
City voted q $4,000 bond issue to take over and
MAINTAIN the Mississippi State Fair. Every man,
woman and child who reside here wants Won to
feel that this is your Capital City.
In advocating city ownership of the Missis-
sippi State Fair an argument used by myself as
Mayor Of the Capital City in behalf of the bond
issue was this:
That thousands of dollars were spent each
year in educating the boys at the A. & NJ. Col
lege, thousands of dollars were spent each year
IN educating the girls at /. /. & c.; hundreds of
thousands are spent all over the State of Missis-
sippi in educating the boys and girls. and l con-
slider this a six days normal to educate the man
who is making a living today
There was never a time iii the history of the
world when SO much was being done for The
benefit of mankind.
The United States Government has a special
corps of men throughout the entire State of Miss
issippi teaching Investigation. The A. & NJ.
College, with its representatives, are going all
over the State assisting in growing and market
ing crops.
The Mississippi State Fair is really response
BILE for Point Comfort the Fourteenth being in
this State, thereby advertising jackson and the
whole State of Mississippi as a cattle growing
State; so the eyes of the entire world are today
on Mississippi. Hence, as Mayor of the city, l
urge you during the coming State Fair to come
and be with us; old men and boys, mothers and
maidens, you will find in our special agricultural
building men whose business it is to give informa-
ton and lecture every hour on agricultural pro-
ducts. Our barns will be filled with splendid
cattle of every breed, our pens will be filled with
hogs Of the finest types. Come and let us re-
joice together in the progress of Old Mississippi
and thus meeting together we may improve our
farms, our stock and our homes.
1t has been said that the boys are all leaving
the farm. This should not be, however, you
can't blame them much; for it is said one reason
they leave the farm is that the girls all left first,
and they could not stay.
| predict that in ten years conditions will be
entirely changed. 1t has been true for many
years when a man wanted to borrow money he
came to town to get it. In ten years l predict
that when a man in town wants to borrow money
he will be forced to go to the country to get it.
So, as Mayor of your Capital City. it gives
me pleasure to extend to one and all a cordial in
%vitation to visit Jackson during the State Fair
We throw our doors wide open to you. We ask
you to come and be with us on this important oc.
~casion. Nothing will be left undone that can add
to your profit, pleasure and happiness from Oc-
tober 25th to 3Oth inclusive, which is the date OF
the State Fair. Yours very truly,
SWEP. J.. TAYLOR, Mayor.

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION COMING.

The water wagon is growing in popu-
larity day after day throughout the world.
The day is not far distant when national
prohibition will prevail in the United States
as a provision Of law, says the esteemed
Greenville Democrat. This will require a
readjustment of the governments revenue
system and the change will work %inconven-
fences and hardships for a time, but prohi-
bition is coming nevertheless and notwith-
standing.

The Vicksburg Herald of last Saturday
stated that a substantial citizen of that city
had offered a wager of $500 that there
would be a second primary for Governor
and further that no taker had been found
for the wager. 1t is rather strange that
some Of those fellows who are claiming
80, 900 votes for Bilbo in the first primary
don't cover the Vicksburger's money.

The State Democratic Executive Com
mittee met in Jackson last Monday and de-
clared all candidates for State and District
offices without opposition the nominees of
the party. The Committee then adjourned
to meet again on Monday, August 9th, to
canvass the returns of the first primary
election and declare the result thereof.

OUR PREDICTION.

Lefore county gave a majority Of 204
votes against Bilbo for Lieutenant-G Governor
four years ago, and the majority against
him for Governor this year is going to be
close to 400. This is the way the situation
looks at the present writing-just eleven
days prior to the first primary election on
August 3rd.

The Greenville Quin Club has a mem
|bership Of over two hundred influential vot-
,ers, and his vote in Washington county will
be surprisingly large to some Of his oppon-
|ents for Governor.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1915-07-23

In 1911 there were 26O votes cast against
Bilbo for Lieutenant Governor in Pearl Riv-
er County out of a total of 1894 votes cast
in that county. It is predicted that his vote
for Governor in that county will be very
much reduced from the number received
four years ago.
