Now that the day of handshaking and lurid lectioneering is nearly over 1t would be we'll for the voters to seri- ously consider this question. Would it be best for the county to continue the present Board of Revenue in office or elect a new one? It is pretty generally admitted that the present Board has done well, in fact, better than any pre- ceding Board.
 Maj. w. J. Cameron has been active in inaugurating the following business methods adopted by the present Board: 1st. A system of buying supplies for hospital, almshouse, etc, by competitive bids
 End The practice of paying off road men, etc, in person while they are on the job, thereby eliminating the rossi- bility of foremen working dead men" srd All the details of working con victs on the roads | .4th. Building prison for women con- victs and laundry for the county at Ketona.
 | I quote from card signed by Walter
 Moore:
 When you find good man and know
 he is a good man. keep him in the I saddle. What he has done in his present
 service on the Board is an asset of yours
 and mine'
 l This is taken from a card stating why MT Moore supports Lawrence H. Pen-
 nington. I certainly most heartily agree
 with MT. Moore in everything commen-
 datory he says about MT. Pennington. I go little further than MT. Moore and
 believe it would be a mistake to make
 any change in the Board whatever | It is true, MT. Bivens and I are lame.
 but we are able to attend to the job and be regular at our post at every
 meeting. myself have missed only one
 meeting thissyear.
 Yours for progressive county, w. J. CAMERON.

It is said that "orators are

may not apply to statesmen,

DON'T LET HIGH PRICED
COTTON FOOL YOU.

As this is written cotton is
bringing over eleven cents a
Epound all over the South, and
pthe price seems to be still going
up. This of course, where a man
has lived at home this year as he
should, means good times: but
there is a danger that high priced
cotton will make US forget all
about war, low prices and all our
brave resolutions, and lead us in.
to our oldtime all cotton follies.
\ Let's look at this thing square
i'ly friend; 1t isn't the number
of bales Of cotton we make that
counts, but our net profits when
the years work is done! Nor in
figuring our net profits must we
for momement forget that un-
less we are soil building rather
than soil robbing farmers, we
are not following the most ration
al, profitable system. In other
words regardless of how much
cotton we may make, it is as GER
tain Us death and taxes that un-
less we raise plenty of corn, meat
and hay, along with clovers, peas
and beans to make our lands rich
We are on the down grade that
ends in failure.
We are sounding this warning
because now is the time to plan
next year, s work and any plans
are faulty that do not include
living at home, soil building and
rigid economy in all expepdi-
fnres. For this reason. even il
cotton goes TO 20 cents, it is
nothing more than good business
sense TO plant big acreage in
oats this fall. with q cover crop
OF oats, rye, clover or vetch on
every possible acre.
What good does your cotton
money do you if you already owe
ii for corn, meat, hay and ferti-
lizarsi Don't ever again be fooled
into an all cotton program, re-
gardless of how high prices may
go.--The Progressive Farmer.

BOIL WEEv|LS SPEND
WINTER IN GOTTONSEED

That great many boil weevils
spend their winters inside the
cottonseed we'll protected from
the weather, is the discovery just
made by DR.. ii. B. Brown in
charge of plant breeding at the
Mississippi A. &. M College ex-
pertinent, Station.
This scientist, therefore, is
urging the farmers to look care
fully into their seed before
planting to, make sure that they
are not planting the pest that
will damage their cropsy. He ad-
vises against buying cottonseed
from weevil infected territory,
and suggests that the seed be
taeated with carbon bisulphide
before planting in order that the
weevils may be destroyed.
On investigation DR.. Brown
discovered that large numbers
of the boil veevils pass the win.
ter in the seed. having apparent
ly entered after the seed were
mature, as the seed hulls, are in
normal condition. Some of
the cottonseed were followed
out completely while in others
seed kernels looked as il the
weevil had just been eaten it.
The weevils were alive and &C.
tive when found.
The State Entomologist r. w.
Harmed, suggests the following
method for destroying the eev-
lis in the seed: Place the sacks
of seed in a tight bin or box, and
then pour a half pint of GORDON
bisulphide into each sack. Then
seal the bin up as nearly air
tight as possible and leave sealed
for "a hours. This will give
time for the fumigant to pene
trate to all parts of the seed.

To the People of Leake and Ne
shoba Counties

IL WIG OupiO VI hC'hO wiz 1'N-
shoba Counties:
| am at Jackson trying to rep
resent your interest and would
be glad to hear from you from
time to time as to what you
think would be of interest and
benefit to the people of our dis
trict. | have introduced several
bills that | think would be of
benefit to the people of the State
generally among them an act to
repeal the six percent exemption
law passed by the legislature of
1912, but to my surprise, | find
strong opposition to the repeal
of the law; the opposition to the
repeal of the law; comes
almost solidly from the
Delta, their reason for opposing
the repeal of the law is this:
AS a matter Of fact, the large
money borrowers always, before
this law was enacted, obtained
their loans at 6 percent or less
and under the operation of this
law, they are just simply escap-
ting taxes that they have always
had to pay. / find almost every
Representative from the hill
counties in favor of repeating this
law, and think we will finally re-
peal it.
have also introduced a bill
to require all persons, firms and
corporations, who have money
that is now taxable, be listed
with the tax assessor for taxes
and in case one, knowingly, fails
to list their or its notes and paw
taxes thereon, then collection of
said notes could not be enforced
in any Court of Law or Equity of
this state. The law further pro
vides that in case one paid taxes
on any note or indebtedness, and
the taxes could be refunded.
This Bill only effects notes and
solvent credits that are now tax
able under our law and the pur-
pose Of it is to force every body
to pay taxes on their notes and
Indebtedness that is now taxable
under our laws, and if this Bill
becomes a law, we will have
plenty of money to run our
county and State Government
without an additional tax levy
or a bond issue, We will have
plenty OF money, and III VIII not
ruin anybody.
AS companion bill to the
above, | have introduced another
bill to change the, contract rate
of interest back to ten per cent.
/ believe in giving a good liberal
rate of interest and then force
them to pay taxes on their notes
solvent indebtedness, and If my
bill to force the payment of tax
es on notes fails to pass, l intend
to withdraw the bill to change
the contract rate of interest.
| would be glad to hear from
my constituents about any mat
ter in which they interested,
Your servant.
