Cunningham For Congress.

In this issue will be found the
announcement of Hon. James A.
Cunningham, of Prentiss County.
as a candidate for Congress from
the First Congressional District
of Mississippi.
While his candidacy was an
nounced only a few days ago, it
is already an assured fact that
he has behind him practically a
unanimity of support from all
the business and political fac.
tions and the people generally of
this section.
This remarkable following is
not based so much upon the idea
of home pride as upon the gen.
eral recognition of his splendid
personal traits, his Christian
character, his unquestionable
ability to do things and his devo-
tion to the best interests of the
masses of people.
We venture the assertion that
no citizen of this state, his en-
vironments being considered,
has succeeded in doing and ac-
complishing more in life's prog
ress than can be justly credited
to Mr.. Cunningham.
At the age of IA years, an il
literate boy, living sixteen miles
back in the country, with a fam
lily dependent upon him for sup
port, a share-cropper and hired
hand, without means or assist
ance he began his career for bet.

plow the other mans mule, till
the other mans soil and work at
the other mans price, but when
he undertook thing he did it

proved worth the price. At the
age of 10, through diligence and
determination, he first entered

Jim Cunningham is a born
fighter-not a fighter of men.
but a fighter for principles. He
never took an unfair advantage
of an adversary nor surrendered
a conviction of his own. Often
men have agreed with him, often
they have honestly differed with
him, but they have always re-
spected him and honored him be-
cause of his earnest devotion to
principles and his bold and able
efforts in support of every cause
he has espoused. The Banner
predicts for this young man a
great career and we believe the
future is restlessly waiting for
his coming, and will feel his force
and influence in the halls of Con-
gress. -Boonoyille Banner.

the public schools. where his
record as a student. in the cabin
school house by day and beside a
pine-knot fire at night, brought
not only phenomenal advance
ment in his studies, but also
gave promise to the greater sue
cesses to be attained. This rec
ord he maintained both as a stu
dent and a teacher in college.
where his work gave further in
dex of real worth.
In 1903 he was elected to the
Lower House of Representatives
from this county by an over
whelming majority in the first
primary over several prominent
men. He gained distinction in
that body. Afterward. in 1907,
he was elected to the State SEN
ate, and is one of the few men
ever sent to the Legislature from
this country who actually framed
and put through the Senate every
measure he stood for on the cam
paign.
He entered the practice of law
in Bonneville, Miss, in 1906,
without means, without exper-
fence as a lawyer and with a H.
brary consisting of some half
dozen books. but he entered this
profession as he had always en-
tered other fields of endeavor-
he entered to success. AS a law
yer his progress has been unpre
cedented, and no man at the
bar either local or surrounding,
will doubt that he is one of the
most accomplished scholars in
the law, one of the ablest advo-
Gates, and that he has to his
credit one of the most enviable
practices of any lawyer in this
part of the state.
He is one of the few men who
grow strong under the pressure
of a crucial moment, and because
of this trait he has developed an
for debating questions
that will give him a place In
Congress at an early date that
few men have the ability to ac-
Quire.

SUIT ATTACKS U. S.

Washington, jan 27-The District

the suit brought by the Southern Pa

right of the United States TO reserve

of the government, by which it may
dig bitches in connection with the
general irrigation system in the west.
The railroad company points out that
its right to patent for the land is
admitted but that under a recent rul-
ing of the interior department, Sec
retary Lane is reserving in land
grants a right to enter and dig canals
and bitches If necessary for irrigation
purposes. The railroad says there is
no legal authority for such reserva-
tion, and that it would burden the
title to the land so much in many cas-
es to render it unsuitable. Secretary
Lane has been cited to appear tomor.

TO ACCEPT AMERICAN VIEWS
Won 5ernstorff Sends Communication
to His Government.

Washington, Jan. 27-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
addressed his government to accept
the views of the United States regard
ing what is essential to satisfactory
settlement of the I,usitania contro-
versy. The message to his govern
ment was sent by the ambassador fol-
Lowing thirty-five minute conference
with Secretary Lansing. Along with
the recommendations went a memor
andum which Secretary Lansing in
formed the ambassador represented
what the secretary declared to be
necessary to a settlement, but was ac-
ceptable to the ambassador himself.
Therefore, the ambassador was able
to assure Mr.. Lansing he would use
his best endeavors to persuade the
Berlin foreign Office to approve 1t.
Should this be the case the reply from
Berlin is likely to be formal note
to the American government embody-
ing all the concessions demanded, in
cluding a disavowal OF the sinking of

ENGLISH JAcKles
Visit Mansfield and Then Come to Mt
Vernon
Mansfield News.)


That the "bloomin bloody war"
will end next fall was the prediction
made Tuesday by George Williamson.
a Johnny Bull bluejacket who, ac.
oompanied by his shipmate, Charles
Stewart, were Mansfield visitors Mon
day night.
The jackies, while at the B. & o.
depot this morning, attracted con
siderable attention. They were at
tired in natty blue uniforms, with
the regulation caps to match, while
they carried their man-o'-war uni
forms in pouches, greatly resembling
the ordinary mail sack.
Both Williamson and Stewart were
discreet in their statements. viii.
Hanson, however, who had a pro-
nounced English brogue, said they
had been in active service and at
present are away on short leave of
absence. In his conversation, he
mentioned having been in Russia and
was apparently famlllar WIN coast
cities in the war zone.
Just where they had been, where
they were going or what their mission
is in Ohio, the jackies failed to re-
veal. However, they purchased tic
kets for Mt. Vernon and departed on
the B. & o. passenger train leaving
Mansfield at 1912 o'clock.
In brogue that at times was ex.
tremely difficult to understand, VIII
hanson talked freely on the war sit
uation and predicted victory for the
Allies. He further said that the
hardest fighting of the entire conflict
will occur next spring and summer,
and that by fall peace will be de-
clared.

FEDERATION PLAN
WILL GO THROUGH
Railroad Unions BaIIotIng on
Eight Hour Day Proposal.

New York, Jan. 27.--With the bal.
loting on the eight hour day referen-
dunn still going on in the 40, 900 lodges
of the four great railroad unions scat
tered all over the country, reports are
that the leaders OF these unions are
more confident than ever that their
plan of federation would go through
and that with the unions united in
such plan the railroads Of the coun-
try would have to cGpituIate.
Little by little details OF how this
federation scheme has been worked
up are coming to light, all showing
now systematic has been the cam
paign the officers of these unions have
been carrying on ever since the Chi
cago arbitration award last April. A
statement which Grand Chief Stone
OF the engineers has just issued to the
railroad men shows now he views the
situation. This says:
"For the first time in the history
of the railroad unions they are all
united There has never been such
q general disposition on the part Of
the railroad employees of the country
to act as a unit. All internal dissen-
sions have been ruled out and all fac
tional and other disputes which would
interfere with the national eight hour
movement among the railroad men
have been laid aside"
Stone has told the railroad men
with whom he has talked that should
the vote support the demand and the
federation plan the leaders will see
that there Is no compromise. though
he would do all he otherwise could to
avert q strike

DREcooNIzINev OLD SOLDIERS

Col L. G. Hunt of Mt. Vernon has
been appointed storekeeper at the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
home at Xenia. The colonel is to be
congratulated, II he desires the place.
Accompanying the announcement Of
his appointment is the statement that
it was made by the superintendent Of
the home at the instance of Gov. VIII
lis, "as recognition of Knox county
soldiers" Hooray! How the old SOL
diers of Knox county must be pleased
over being recognized" by having
Gov. Willis toss bone to them in
the shape of a storekeepership Of a
lesser institution! Like all other APP
pointments that have come to Knox
county under the Willis administra-
tion, this is little one. II the old
soldiers Of Knox county, as such, are
TO be recognized, why hand out
crust of bread? Why not give one Of
their number an appointment that is
worth while? There are plenty of
positions of Importance, dignity and
good salary. For instance, there is the
position of commandant at the San
T dusky Soldiers home, and there are
several old soldiers in Knox county,
+ Col Hunt among the number who are
amply qualified to fill It properly. In
stead, a little two by four Job is given
to Col Hunt accompanied by consd-
erabIe blowing that It was made "as q
recognition to the old soldiers OF
Knox county by Gov. Willis" Most
people will regard such a "recogni-
'tion" as joke, If not an insult. Give
the old soldiers Of Knox county some
thing in keeping with their worth
and to which they are Justly entitled,
instead of crumb that is swept
from the table. Then there will be
Fluctuations and Joy all around.
