STATE WON'T LOSE BY SELECTION

assuredIy needs education along

people. If a 'home-man" is not
qualified for the Office be seeks
there is no earthly reason why he
should be elected over any candi-
date who is, If he can meet the
limitations of the law that govern
a candidacy for Office
But in the candidacy of Hon
Hugh Montgomery, our native
South Mississippi aspirant for
Penitentiary Trustee our people are
pleased to recognize one of their
very own who is, too. thoroughly
qualified for the office he seeks and
they are taking pride in the assur-

him.
Every Lincoln county man should
give his support to Mr.. Mont
gomery, thus endorsing him as
nothing else can do.

we'll known state crop of Misslssip-
pi.
This cotton is grown on farm
belonging to the Mississippi state
penitentiary and it was this cotton
that formed the subject of the libel
action of Boyce VS.. The Liverpool
Daily Post at the Manchester ASST
yes last week For many years it
has been bought by Messrs. Boyce
and Company for sale to Lancan-
shire spinners but this year an at
tempt was made to smuggle it
through to Germany. 1t was sent
to Gulfport. where Norwegian
steamship named the Huso was
chartered to take the cotton to Co.
penhagen whence by rail it was to
go to Germany.
Before the vessel sailed, how
ever, the State Department at
Washington informed the Governor
of Mississippi and the firm for
whom he was acting that the the
cotton would be confscated by the
British navy. In these circum-
stances. Messrs Boyce and Compa-
ny bid for the cotton as it lay on
the quay They then had the cot
ton put on board the Norwegian
steamship which sailed for Man
chester instead of Copenhagen.
This cotton IS SO highly compressed
that a fire might shoulder for
weeks, and it is only ten weeks
since the cotton left America.
The cotton owned by Messrs. Boyce
was insured. /"

HOW BILBO is LOSING GROUND.

The following letter shows how
Gov. Bilbo stands in places where
he is reported to be losing ground:
Aberdeen, Miss. July 10. 1915.
Dear Friend:
| have your favor referring to
the 5th of July. Reilly did not run
it over US by long odds. The truth
of the business is that Bilbo ad-
dressed the people here at 10 a. m
and spoke to about $500 Or 1000,
mostly voters-country people
At the conclusion of his speech. he
went to Nettleton and spoke to L.
500 or 1000 there. As regards
ReiIy's speech. his vas the last, he
began at 2 O'Clock. His audience
consisted of town people. and the
anti crowd from Amory and wo-
men, should estimate that so
per cent were women. There were
a few country people His ap-
plause and handshakes consisted of
the anti crowd here and the same
from Amory. 1t was decidedly a
BiIbo day, and he bound his fol-
lowers to him by stronger bands
than ever, if such was possible. If
any votes were changed, they were
changed to him but ] doubt that
any were changed by any of the
candidates for the reason that Bill
bo votes don't change and the
crowd that is against him is the
anti crowd and they don't change.
You would judge from the re-
port in the Commercial Appeal that
it was a regular Reilly ovation To
explain that, Neil MeCaskilI is the
reporter here and there was never
a bitterer anti. You can place alb
soIuteIy no credence in anything he
repnrts-he is so unfairly partisan
At NettIeton Bilbo received an-
other ovation, and if such thing
was possible strengthened himself
there.
You need have no fears about
Monroe County. 1t was for Bllbo
four years ago, and he will get
the same vote this time If there
is any change at all. it will be to
increase his vote. There is no Sc
cret about this and you can give it
to the world.
Best wishes always
Your friend.

Whtn the Muskogee Employees
Association met the other day in
Oklahoma. Mr. R. w. Bee. SUPER
intendent of Bradstreet's agency
for the eastern portion of the

and gave some wholesome state
ments that tell the cause of failure
in business
Credits are based upon three
things-morals, consideration Of
capital invested and business abili-
ty." said Mr. Bee before naming
five plausible reasons for failures
as folIows:-
First-Undertaking too much
business for capital invested
Second-Incombetence. lacking
in judgment. consideration. tact
or general ability.
Third-Granting credit reckless
ly without proper consideration
Fourth-Neglect of business and
doubtful habits.
Fifth-Speculation outside Of
legitimate business; and then add
ing. II am sure that you will
agree with me when | say that
most any failure that you have in
mind could be attributed to one or
all of thse causes. -

town and fully eighty-five perc net. is spent right here in New Britain. The remainder is accounted for by the cost of the stamps and expenses incident to the campaign.
 More extensive plans than nave ever been considered have been made by the New Britain Tuberculosis Re- lief society for the year.. One of the features is the enlistment of he Boy Scouts, who, in the role of SOL diers of peace, will sell the stamps to storekeepers. The Scouts will be under the supervision of a lieutenant and their uniform will serve as their badges of authority.
 While the board of education has not passed on the matter it is un- derstood that school children will as sist in the sale of seals this year as in the past President B. F. Gaff ney of the school board, is heartily in favor of the fight against tubercu- losis and approves of the idea of hay ing the boys and girls in the schools assist in the great work
 Seals will be placed on sale in tho lobby of the postoffice and the man. ufacturers will be solicited and urg- ed to affiX them to their business cor respondence. In the past the man ufacturers have provided the princi- pal revenue and it is hoped they will be equally as liberal this year. A. Buol and P. F. King, both of whom are connected with New Britain g manufacturing circles, will have charge of this end of the sale.
 Slides will be thrown on the screens in theaters, urging the public to buy the seals. These are now being prepared by pr. T. E. Reeks, su- perintendent of health.
 The battle against the great white plague in New Britain goes bravely on every day although those in charge of the work perform their noble task without any drums or trumpets. Every year the society helps to smooth the path for hundreds of people, who are either afflicted or who have tuberculosis in their fam. llles Warm clothin suitable for life at sanitoria is provided and hun dreds of gallons of milk are distribut- ed. All this costs money and one of { the channels for raising funds is through the sale of Christmas seals Everyone can help. Buy the seals place them on your holiday cores pondence and show the world that you, too, are contributing your share to the health of the city and the peace of mind of it's inhabitants.

RIGHT ON THE JOB.
Registrar and Aid Discover Fire in
 High Street House.

Registrar of Voters Thomas J. Smith, accompanied by Andrew Cher pack, an interpreter, were on High street this morning canvassing for the personal tax, when they smelled sm ol<e. They noticed smoke coming from the cellar at 234 High street and when they went to investigate they were informed hams were being cured.
 This explanation did not suit the registrar and a further investigation showed that his fears were we'll founded. With Cherpack's aid he forced in the cellar door which was fastened with a paddock, and found the rafters in the roof blazing. MT. Smith hustled out for a pail of water while his aid fought the flames. Be- tween them they managed to extin- guish the fire. The building in which they made the discovery contains a store and two tenements and but for their timely investiga ton a serious blaze might have occurred

COMMONWEALTH CLUB
 LECTURE ON NOV. 2e
Original Date Selected for Meeting,
 Supper and Talk by Dr. Tup-
per of Boston.

After considerable indecision be- cause of circumstances over which it had no control, the Comm club has decided to hold it's first meet ing of the season on the date orig inally selected, November 29.

Tupper of Boston, who is reputated to be one of the most capable lecturers ever to appear be- per's subject will be New American work topic which is certain to in- terest at this time in a city with such a cosmopolitan complexion as New Britain. It is anticipated that Dr. Tupper will refer to hyphenated Americanism
 The meeting will be held in the Y. M. C. A. banquet hall and supper will be served at 630 o'clock. After the supper a musical program will be furnished. Among the entertain CTS will be four instrumentalists from the High school orchestra. Mrs. Thyra Doessel pianist, will render "Valse Caprice by Newman and '"To Spring" by Grieg.
