WANT FEDERAL AID
IN MOSQUITO FIGHT
ALL MISSISSIPPI WILL BE BENE.
FITTED, If U. S. GOVERN
MEMT TAKES HAND.

An appeal to the United States
government to assist in devising some
means to eliminate the mosquito nuis-
anee of the. Mississippi Coast and the
inland counties adjoining, is to be
made. The move is of especial inter
est to Forrest county, as the swarms
of mosquitoes that sweep the coast
counties often are blown in this di-
rection, causing much discomfort.
Judge W. H. Hardy. of Gulfport,
has made this suggestion in "a letter
to the editor of newspaper in Gulf
port, in which he says:
'In my opinion the mosquito can be
eliminated from the entire coast, but
it is too big an undertaking for any
county or even the state to undertake
with any hope of success. My opin-
ion is that it is national question,
and should be undertaken by the fed
eral government"
/. AS result of this suggestion a
mass meeting of citizens along the
coast may be held to memorable the
national legislature to devise some
means and carry out the ones most
feasible TO eliminate the pests.
"The general theory is that the
mosquitoes are blown into the coast
resort towns by west winds from the
Louisiana marshes, and when that
wind springs up as one man express
sed it you can just hear EN- coming
When the mosquitoes come, the tour
lists go, and the inhabitants are al.
most driven frantic by the insects.
"The reputation of the coast, it is
feared, may be ruined if something is
not done. Already suggestions have
been made to spread oil on the Lou.
isiana marshes, but many believe that
close study of the desired remedies
would result in some good plan
whereby the coast would be freed
from the terrible affliction that visits
it without warning. qa .

CHICKENS COME HOME.
,f{ -t4S
NASHVILLE Banner.)

The announcement of Representa-
tive T. U. Sisson OF Mississippi as a
candidate for reelection from the Wi.
mona district is. taken as an indica.
ton Of the opening of another of the
personal and family contests which
have distinguished his career as a
public official.
This time his announced opponent is
Ivy, g. Ward. brother-in-law. The
Wards from time immemorial have
been the champions of vardaman and
Of Bilbo since he made his advent into
politics as a follower of the white
Chief"
Several months ago 1t was reported
that Mr.. Sisson would voluntarily re-
tire from the lower house and make
the race against Senator John Sharp
Williams and it was assumed that he
would receive the Bilbo support in
spite of the fact that former State
Senator Hebron of Greenville was
making a campaign for the senatorial
nomination on a Bilbo platform.
Mr.. Ward managed the Montgomery
county Bilbo campaign which recently
concluded SO triumphantly and it was
l
understood that in return he was to
receive the support of the Bilbo ele-
ment for congress. In the meanwhile
Mr.. Sisson had ear to the ground
He must have discovered that John
Sharp Williams still has his following
and that there are Mississipplans who
still have a pride in ability and man
hood and sincerity. The people of
Mississippi are far from being ready
to dismiss Senator Williams because
he refuses to conform to the Bilbo
ritual. foo
On this theory, evidently, Mr. Sisson
announced that he would again make
the race for congress. His brother-in-
law was already in and now it looks
like a family fight with every avail
able Democrat in the district taking a
hand.
This situation serves to recall the
first race Mr.. Sisson made for con-
gress, in which he received the NOM
ination. When a young man he prac.
ticed at law In Carrollton few
months and then went to Winona and
entered the law office of w. S. Hill,
who was district attorney.
She'd Hill is a son-in-law of the
late Senator fernando D. Money. He
is one of. the ablest men in the state
and strong "stumper," very neces-
sary quality in Mississippi politics.
! Mr.. Hill was nominated for congress
! and, of course, elected. He left Sis
son to look after his fences and Sis
son made a good job of it. He did so
well that finally Hill dropped all
thought of keeping the things in order
"back home" and left it all to Sisson.
Finally, when he came to run, he
found his manager and law partner
had moved the fences on his own side
of, the pasture. The. organization was
| a Sisson organization and Sisson was
his opponent.
There were three candidates for the
nomination and the runoff came be.
tween Hill and Sisson, and in disgust
Hill quit the race and moved to Green
wood and resumed the practice of
law. Since 1908 Mr.. Sisson has held
his office uhquestioned, and just as he
begins to forget the little worries
and turn his thoughts to the higher
things in statesmanship, and leaves
the chores to his friends and relatives,
as Hill did, it looks as though the
same fate might be awaiting him.
