again told the truth. That would have
made twice in one article they made
true assertions. However. the only
literature this paper has ever distribu-
ted has been the paper itself
The story closes by saying, "An ef-
fort will be made in the near future to
organize Bilbo club in this county"
and that an effort will also be made to
have Bilbo here again before the cam
paign closes.
Now we have been expecting some
time for the supporters of the "distin-
guished" Lieutenant Governor to make
some desperate break Yes it will be
we'll to have several Bilbo clubs in the
county, Mr.. Issue, if you even expect
to know Bilbo is in the running when
the Jackson county vote is counted in
August.
To be sure they are going to get
Bilbo back here if they can; yon need
him, and need him badly. One more
two weeks ago should certainly put
Bilbo's politics III tip-top shape.
There is one thing we admire about
the article in the Issue and this is the
correspondent who sent in the story of
respect for himself to sign his name;
he used the nom de plume Original.
Our purpose in making reference
again to Bilbo's speaking here is to SIM
ply call the attention of our readers as
to the confidence that can be placed in
what the Issue contains. OF course we
presume the news from the other ap-
pointments Of Bilbo the issue tells
about contains just about the same
amount of truth as that of the speaking
here. Moss Point Advertiser.

SOME LIES AND
THE TRUTH.
Moss Point Advertiser Re-
pudiates False Report Of
Recent Political Speak
ing at that Place.

The Issue, BilbO 8 personal organ. un-
der date of April Sth, has new story
on Bilbo's speaking in Moss Point. and
much like the Lieutenant-GovernOr
himself, continues to misrepresent
facts.
In the outset the article alleges that
Bilbo had "fully 7O0-ladies and gentle
men when he spoke here" Every one
who was at the speaking knows that
this assertion contains just about $50
misrepresentations The actual seat
ing capacity of the Tabernacle is only
estimated at about 600. Gentle reader,
we will leave it to you as to whether
or not there were 700 persons present.
The next spot where the Issues cor
respondent goes wrong is when he
states ''the opposition put up stiff
fight to keep him from coming here.
There is absolutely no foundation what
ever to this assertion so far as we have
been able to learn.
Next the Issue tells US that Bilbo, in
discussing his opponents, did not use
any ridicule or slanderous remarks. y
How about this, kind reader? We are
long ways from being past master in
our conception of the English language,
but we do understand the common ev-
ery-day street conversation, and BilbO' 5
remarks relative to his opponents, as
nearly every one who was there will
testify, were made up entirely OF ridi-
cule.
"It is estimated that he will carry
this box by large majority" says the
Issue. Now certainly we don't want
| to be in the 81 told you so" class, but
we want everyone to remember this
assertion and see what there is in the
claim when the votes are counted next
August. Bilbo hasn't any more chance
of carrying Moss Point than we have OF
being president; and we hope that is
putting it strong enough.
"Mr. Bilbo paid his respects to the
local paper here" Chats u.s. In
this they did manage to tell the truth.
There were two things that seemed to
be very much in Bilbo's noodle, when he
spoke here and they were Reilly and the
Advertiser. Continuing, the Issue says
at has been publishing the Brewer
Reilly -Stovall- Quin- Tally campaign lit
erature and scattering it broadcast ovel
the county," If the issue had omitted
the names of Messrs. Quin, Stovall ant
Tally and inserted Bilbo, it would have

SOIL SURVEY
COMPLETED.
Report Made on Work which
was Begun Last Summer
Under Direction of u. S.
Dept Of Agriculture.

The soil survey of Grenada county
which was begun in Marsh, 1914, but
suspended from the following June to
February, has been completed and all
data pertaining to the work forwarded
to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. Within a few months
the report on this shrvey will be pub
lished by the Department and copies
thereof ready for distribution. 1t will
contain detailed descriptions of almost
Is types and phases of soil found in
this county. The character of each
with respect to topography, drainage
and other physical features, as well as
the crop adaptations and fertilizer re-
auirements are discussed. The results
of lime determinations for the principal
types will be included and soils on which
this mineral could be proftably used
will be indicated. Complete chemical
analyses of the soils are not given in
these soil survey reports because such
information is not of great practical
Importance. The general deficiency in
nitrogen, common to most southern
soils, as well as the rather low content
of PHOSPHORUS and relatively high per
centage of potash in the loess, or
brown silty material, from which most
of the soils of this county are derived,
is already matter of comparatively
common knowledge. A good deal of
work of that kind has already been
done in the course of various soil and
geological Investigations in the state.
It would be very desirable to have a
profitable fertilizer practice and prac-
tical crop rotation worked out for each
of the principal soil types, as is being
done in several of the northern states.
One purpose of soil survey is to fur.
nish an intelligent basis for such future
work, which comes under the direction
of the State Experiment Stations OF
agricultural schools

description of the physical features Of
the county, roads. market facilities

mites for the profitable increase in' th'

iowa SALOONS
ALL OUT JAN. |

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. s.--Not only
will all saloons in Iowa be closed on
Jan. /, but all superfluous wet" goods
will have been shipped out of the
state, according to information reach
ing the office of Attorney General Cos
son today as the result of a recent
communication sent out to county at
torneys.
In this communication the attorney
general said he proposed to see that
Iowa had prohibition I'm fact as well
as technically" and that he would
make every effort to see that the law
was oheyed. He urged the hearty CO.
opesation of the various county attor-
neys in this work, to make sure that
the advent of 1916 would see a non
alcoholic Iowa. The responses so far
received, the attorney general said,
have been exceedingly encouraging.
In his letter to the county attorneys
Mr.. Cosson said that the postpone
ment of the enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law from July A, as is usually
the case, until Jan. /, was done with
the idea of giving the liquor dealers
an opportunity of disposing of their
stock and fixtures without great finan-
cial sacrifices. That this opportunity
is being taken advantage Of is indi-
Gated by the communications coming
into Mr.. Cosson's office.
