he is cheap skate. Is now and always
has been. He copped off the plebian
title OF Honest John while he was oc-

and resigned that position about two
Jumps ahead OF the court proceedings
which would have ousted him without
so honorary a title. Last week he
fired the opening gun OF his campaign
for reelection at great mass meet

to appear that the initiative and refe--

WILL BORE FOR OIL.
Oklahoma Man VIII Try Aban-
doned Section.

The "oiI field" about twelve
miles southwest of Port Gibson
promises to again attract the at
tention of local ''get rich quick"
folks. This time an Oklahoma
man is to take up the project and
sink a well, it is said. He has
secured a lease on the property of
Mrs. Berkley, and expects to be-
gin operations about Oct. Ist.
A few years ago a man named
link "blew in" and stated that he
had located an oil field in the al
most mountainous section of
southwest Claiborne. He talked
much of the ''anticline" under
which be could almost see a great
gusher. Several thousands OF
dollars was soon subscribed and a
well, with varied promises and dis
appointments, was snnk to a depth
of about 1900 feet. Then the
money gave out; link "blew out, "
and the project was abandoned.

The task OF the local Exemption
Board is a very difficult and un.
pleasant one, especially so when it
is considered that its members are
working without pay; but it is
gratifying to note that there seems
to be no disposition on the part of
any of the young men, who have
been called to shirk. Some of
them will have to make sacrifices,
no doubt; but the call of their
country has been heard, and they
seem willing to answer. Many of
them will return to their homes
after the conflict bearing honUrs
bravelY won. Claiborne has al
ways ranked high in this respect,
and We believe it will stand second
to none on this occasion. 1t

score of captains. and more sold.

/ Because this country has never
before been in great foreign war,
the vastuess of the preparations
being made by the United States
may not be grasped by the average
American, but thinking men OF
other countries understand how
prodigious are these preparations
aud how suddenly a peace.Iovinf
democracy has become. war giant
and toe to be dreaded. Com
menliug on this subject noted
Russian newspaper writer says
"The first steps taken by th'
Washington government tor plac
ing the United States in a state OF
war revealed methodical char
acter more akin to German meas
ures than to those of the Allies.
They were all deeply thought out,
and from the beginning sYstemat-
ically carried out on large scale.
One sees 10 them a sense of gi.
gantic proportions, such as is re
fected by the vastness OF American
territory. There is in them a full
er and more consistent application
of science aud OF technique than
was the case in Europe. The
combination of bold schemes and
of practical execution which dis
tinguished American industrial
undertakings is very prominent III
the American organization of war.
"The part which is being acted
by the United States in this strug.
gle is the strongest vindication of
the democratic form of government.
It proves that a free democracy
entirely given to the works of
peace is able to organize itself for
a world war, and is determined to
shirk no effort or sacrifice for the
sake of its ideals. This speaks
also most highly for the genius
and the character of the American
nation, the greatness of which is
now being fully revealed for the
first time"
