Editor Jones Withdraws

Editor Jones of the Arcadia
News, returned, a few days ago,
from his visit to Lake City, and,
as soon as he realized the be-devil-
ment he would suffer in a race for
the legislature, he issued procla-
nation announcing that he had
withdrawn and would support
Judge Cochran.
This is well. Brother Jones is
too good a man to get tangled up
in wire fences or wire-pulling and
be pelted with political problems
by ribald roustabouts and cachin-
mating scoffers.
In his paper of yesterday,
Brother Jones declares war upon
the county division proposition
and says:
"The world war sinks into in
significance as compared with the
fight that is on in DeSoto county
this good year, except in it's mag
