COUNTY TICKET
TO THE CANDIDATES.

In these hard times many
candidates, actual and prospec-
tive. have had good reason to
know Just what the charge would
be for announcements this year
We have gone over this matter
carefully and have decided that
we would make the lowest possi-
bic charge for this work con-
sistent with the expense connect
ed with it. As one knows who
stops to think space Is what the
editor depends upon for his living
Many people seem to think that
an editor never needs any money
just something to talk about and
Ill space-they never stop to
think where he must get his
money to buy paper, pay
printers, pay Office rent. light,
taxes and many other expenses.
A little newspaper experiences
would remedy that notion.

WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR.

The old year that has just
closed has been eventful. both
for the world. the nation and this
state. The most disastrous war
in the history Of the world has
been raging for months and there
seems no end until all eombatants
exhaust every resource possible.
Millions of lives and OF property
has been annihiIated. And.
while America has been at peace
yet we are gravely affected We
have learned how empty many
Of our boasts have been We
have been taught that America
was big enough to huiii 4 fence
around il and do without the
entire world That vas a foolish
notion. Our business has suffered
in every part OF our country In
the south We have found that re
are helpless and herein hes our
problem Why do We have
.-hard times-'s That il easy to
every sane man. We depend
alone upon the cotton crop for
our money Just so long as we
do that We are psupers whenever
a crisis comes. in fact we have
been practically that all these
years though living in the
greatest part of this great Union.
Mississippi ought 10 learn a
lesson from our helpless condition
and should learn It well. Our
faces should turn to new ideas
this year; we must of necessity
follow new paths.

An EVIL THAT NEEDS
CORRECTION.

There are many things that
might be corrected in the running
Of the state government but we
desire to call the attention Of the
people Of this state to one thing
that needs attention at this time.
This - in the matter of an
nouneement charges to candi-
dates for state Offices tn get their
names upon the tickets in the
various counties in the state.
There are now, wa belle sc, eighty
counties in the state. The
psrctice has grown up until state
candidates are charged enormous
suns TO get their names upon the
tickets Ia some instances we
learn a. high as $500 il the
charge to get ones name upon y
ticket in the primary. That i
nothing short of outrageous; IT is
entirely out Of proportion 10 the
rsai Gusts Say. a state candidate
pays an average Of only $1,000
per county, that means $4,000
TO get his name on the ticket for
the entire state. That Is unfair
and unjust IL makes n poor
candidate shudder at the prospect
The actual costs should never
exceed one dollar. In fact the
printer can afford TO do the ~ork
for less than half that price 1t
IL not fair TO feed the election
commissioners oyster dinner and
all that At the expense of the
poor candidate that IS sacrificing
everything he has to make the
race If this custom Is to continue.
poor men viii have to quit run
ming for state Offices and that
means a sad day for any people.
The people in every county in
Mississippi ami the officers who
have in charge the fixing OF these
lees sould this coming wear in
fairness to all candidates for
tate and state district Offices. see
hat their names are placed upon
he ballot at least cost.
We trust the newspapers OF
his state will take up this unfair
practice and see to it that all our
are dealt with fairly
10 this matter.
We are glad to know that a move
l. on foot IN this Lafayette ecun-
ty 10 see that every state and
every state district candidate has
his name placed upon the ticket
free of charge. The tickets for
county officers must be printed
and the names Of the state
can be inserted, as
far a cost is concerned. without
an extra expense We want to
see every man IN Mississippi that
