STATE COMMISSIONER
= WRITES TO FARMERS
To the Farmers of Mississippi:

To the Farmers Of Mississippi:
Since our country is at war, every
man, woman and child composing this
great nation is in a sense a soldier.
The farmers, together with the men,
bers of their families and their hired
help, constitute the food-producing dl-
vision of the nations army, which Is
second to none other in Importance.
Southern farmers are asked to pro-
duce enough food to supply tie needs
of the South and enough feed to take
care of the live stock. After this is
done, they are advised to plant all
of the cotton that they can properly
cultivate. This advice comes from
Secretary Houston of the u. S. De-
parment of Agriculture, who sees the
agricultural situation of our whole
country.
Let it not be said of the farmers
of Mississippi that they failed to do
their part in this great world struggle
for the supremacy of right and JUS
tice.
If you have not thought seriously
about your part in this the greatest
crisis in the history of the world,
do so TODAY; and then act, ami
mated by the same quality of patriot
ism and unselfish devotion to our COM
mon country as animates those who
on the blood-soaked fields of heroic
France are at this very hour facing
with sublime courage and unyielding
determination the fercest and most
savage onslaught that ever was made
by human beings.
Let us count it our privilege to do
WHATEVER seems necessary to
snatch victory from the barbarous
Hun.
P. P. GARNER,
Commissioner of Ayr. and Com.

WOMEN LIBERTY
LOAN WORKERS
Gather at Grenada to Confer Regard
ing Bond Sale.

The present generation has read
much of and heard much said about
the sacrifice and the devotion of the
women of the South to the cause of
the Confederate soldier. 1t was the
women of the South that kept the
war going for the four years. Now
comes q demonstration OF what the
daughters of these noble women can
do and fortunately these daughters
hands reach across Mason and Dix
on's line and grasp the hands of the
daughters of the/good women who
stood by the boys>in blue. The daugh-
ters of these two sections, if it is
permissible to speak of two sections
at all, are now united in heart, aim
and purpose and they say that Ger
many shall not pass and Oh
where is the son who will not bare
his body and risk his life to make
good the words of these daughters
he is not an American, he can not
live in America. 1t was this senti-
ment that prompted the chairmen OF
the several different districts of this
immediate section who have In charge
the women's work in pushing the bond
sales. to meet here last Friday after
noon to go over their work and plan
for the pushing of the drive. Those
district chairmen present were: Mes
danes Pointer of Como, Jno:. +. An
derson, Holly Springs, and Miss Jane
Young Of Grenada. Also the follow
ing county and city chairmen: Mes
danes Jarrett. Sardis; Stevenson
Holly Springs; Damarche. Water Val
ley; Jones, Coffeeville; Boswell, Cot
feeville; Virginia Price. Carrolitoni
Liddell and Gee, also Of Calrollton
and C. II. Calhoun of Grenada. These
ladies were entertained at a delight
full luncheon by district chairman
Miss Jane Young, of Grenada, who
/ is as charming as a hostess as she
lis sweet and gracious about all other
things. Mr. Henry Hart of Winona
| fourth district of the mems work was
present and was in conference WITH
these ladies'. Most excellent reports
were made Rnd there is little doubt
that these ladies will carry their worR
way over the top.

HON. PAT HARRISON
HERE SUNDAY NIGHT

Hon. Pat Harrison came over to
Grenada Sunday night from Green
wood and spent the night here. u
went from here to Camp Pike to look
into some matters for the war depart
ment Mr.. Harrison spoke Sunday af-
ternoon on the Liberty Bond sale at
Greenwood. He made two Liberty
Bond speeches Saturday at Sumner.
The court house would not hold the
crowd, so he spoke once and those
filed out and others filed in, thus he
gave the second war message on, the
same day at the same place. Mr.. Har-
rison was looking fine and seemed in
a most happy mood.

ever been county judge. That may be true, but come in and let me show you why I have rejected them. If the county is not liable for claim, it is the duty of the county judge to turn it down. I have done this, and have no apology to offer for any claim that I have disallowed The parties can exercise their right of appeal, and l will not get offended with them.
 A great deal has been said about the Mccain cost. My enemies, no doubt, have tried to create prejudice by telling that l was holding up this scrip. But listen: The cost in the Joe Mccain case was issued in Janu- ary. When the time came to pass on the cost bill of Henry Mccain, I had to write the prosecuting attorney for instructions on certain points, which delayed the matter few days, but the clerk is issuing the scrip this week and I want to inform those that had been told that ti would not be issued in time to apply on this years taxes, that we have the cash to pay every dollar of it. Awful condition, isn't it? We want to remind you that we had four terms of circuit court, last year, at a cost that has never been approximated in the history of the county. I am not ashamed of this awful condition.
 There are many other things that would like to tell you aSa call your attention to, but space forbids, and for this reason, suggested to MT. Bailey that we make joint cam paign, but he saw fit to decline.
 In conclusion, wish to say that l have economized in every way pos sibie, and have made personal sacri- fees in the interest of the county, and the financial condition of the county, are to me, satisfactory fruits of my labor. If you want your county's money economically spent then l VIII appellate your support on the 28th of May. But if you want it squandered and cast to the four winds, elect some body else, for l am not the man for the place.
 Yours very truly,
 J. W. FRANKS.
The Prescott daily news., 1918-04-24
J. w. FRANKS FOR
 COUNTY AND PROBATE JUDGE

In presenting my name to the vot- CTS of Nevada county, for County and
 Probate Judge, wish to thank them
 very kindly for the hearty support
 they have given me in the past, for
 both county clerk and county judge.
 It is very highly appreciated, and l
 have endeavored to prove my appre-
 citation, by giving them the very best
 service that lay within my power.
 In offering for my second term for
 county judge, the only plea l wish to
 make to the people, is my official re- cord, which I ask you to investigate by searching the county records, and not listen to the so-called "slick poii- tician."
 In our campaign two years ago, I
 told the people of Nevada county, if
 elected their county judge, would do
 my best to get the county out of debt.
 I have kept my word to the best of
 my ability. When I took the oath of
 office, perhaps no one in the county realized the financial condition better than |, and the fact before me that it would take five years to finish paying for the court house-paying about $5,000.00 annually-and that this pay ment had to come out of the five mills levy, which is the mayimum levy for county purposes, made it very critical. Everybody knew it was hard prob lem, but I was determined to use all
 the economy possible. Scrip could be bought last year at tax paying time l from 75 to 85 cents on the dollar. Jury certificates sold at the March special term of circuit court, for SC cents, but what about 1t today? Peo- pie have been able to cash in their scrip, this year, at 100 cents. The truth of the matter is, there is not sufficient scrip outstanding to pay the taxes. This places my political fight CTS in very uncomfortable attitude.
