To The Democratic Voters
of Fayette County.

Inasmueh as certain rights of the
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee were called in question in
letter printed in last weeks issue OF
the Falcon, | feel it my duty to reply
thereto, that the public, who were not
present at meeting of the Committee
October may more fully understand
the situation.
Primary Elections of every character,
Congressional, Legislative, Judicial and
County, are largely governed and con-
trolled by legislative statute and their
resolutions usu lily embrace a clause
providing time-limit for the qualifica-
tion of all candidates who may wish to
enter the race.
AT meeting of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Fayette County
on September 4th resolution was
offered, supported and sustained by
every Com mitteeman present. ordering
primary election held in every voting
precinct in Fayette County on October
30th, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for Sheriff, Trustee, Regis
ter and Tax-Assessor. Said resolution
contained every RECRUITMENT exacted of
each candidate. including the time
limit for qualification, namely, October
End at NOON, which was about Four
weeks after said resolution was drafted,
ratified by the Committee and given to
the public through the columns of the
Fayette Falcon. Every necessary
meeting of the Committee and the date
of same was called and provided for in
the resolution, and any person, who has
failed to qualify by NOON October End
as candidate for any of the county
offices above mentioned, has no right to
censure any member of the com mittee
or any other candidate in the race on
account of his own 'inadye rtence' or
rather negligence.
To take any action at this time, a.
mending any clause of the resolution,
after portion of it has become effec-
tive, will render defective the entire in
strument, and probably embarrass can
didates for other Offices in the race,
AS Chairman, it is my prerogative to
recognize the right of all men to speak
upon matters of interest pertaining to
the welfare of the party, and as hereto
fore, | shall always be liberal in extend
ing the privilege. In my rulings
shall endeavor to display no injustice
or favoritism to anyone.
Respectfully submitted,
t. A. CRAWFORD. adv. 1t.

Der, the first examination for
teachers comes December IS. and will
include questions on Reading. Writing,
Spelling and Grammar.
Teachers who have already had two
temporary certificates will not be able
to teach longer unless they pass.
Under a resolution recently passed by
Fayette County Board of Education all
teachers who fail to take the examina-
tion or take the examination and fail
to pass and are compelled to teach on
temporary certificates after this time
will have their salaries reduced 10 per
cent. So it is necessary for teachers
to prepare to make sure of passing the
December examination. In view Of
the above facts | urge you to consider
carefully the suggestions for review
made in this column from time to time
and do diligently the work outlined
here from week to week.

vile. Mrs. Parks professed faith in
Christ when young girl and joined
the Missionary Baptist church at Enon,
Hardeman county, where she lived a
faithful member nntil death. Mrs.
Parks leaves an aged mother, a hus-
band and six children, three sons and
three daughters; four brothers aud
three sisters who bow their heads in
sorrow as they walk through this cloud
of sadness. This was a devoted wife.
a loving and tender mother, a good
sister, true church-member and a
beautiful Christian character. Her
life was blessing to the home, church
and community. Thirty years ago this
December she gave her hand and heart
to you, Mr.. Parks, and you have walk
ed side by side until the holy union was
broken the other day. Sweet memories
of these years linger around you to-
day and we wish we could let them be
real again but our wish is all in vain.
Cheer up my friend and put your whole
trust in Christ and some sweet day you
will meet your precious companion
again in better world than this. God
bless you noble sons and you dear
daughters in saying farewell to your
best earthly friend. Live close to
your God and be like your precious
mother. Our hearts go out in sympathy

Let the Pigs and Steers Do
Half the Farming.

So says Geo. R. James of the profit
able farming campaign committee.
WHY? Read these figures. The
food production per capita in Tennes-
see is S66, in Mississippi sS7, Arkansas
$5l. Our average food consumption
per capita in the rural communities of
the south is about $84. Tennessee is
shy SIS per capita of feeding herself.
"Ihe deficit in food production in
Tennessee is s4O,OOO,OOO, in Mississippi
$S5, 900, 900, in Arkansas $5l, 900, 900, in
Memphis trade territory nearly 500,
900, 900.
why can't we feed ourselves? Can't
we raise pigs and steers, and hay and
grass?
The trouble is this, as Mrs. Mathis
of Alabama says, We fight grass to
grow cotton to get money to buy hay.
The average rural wealth in Illinois is
$2,655, in Iowa 1886, Tennessee $3.50,
Mississippi 1902, Arkansas 1924. The
farm wealth per capita in Mclean
County, Illinois "a food-producing COM
munity) is 1885.
Save these figures. Compare them
with other figures which win be given
you tomorrow, but, in the meantime,
remember this that one-crop system
will impoverish any country, and
in turn will impoverish the people. 1t
is only through live stock farming and
the using of our energies every day In
The year that we can make a prosper
Gus country"
