CAPT. P. B. BERRY FOR SU-
PERVISOR BEAT ONE.

Last week The News contained
a brief mention of the announce
ment of Capt. Berry for SUI
pervisor of Beat No. /, subject,
of course, to the action of the
democratic party.
Capt. Berry is one of the oldest
and most honored citizens of
Rankin county, and we do not
feel that he needs any special in
PRODUCTION at our hands. He
served his people for Two terms
on the Board, and the record that
he made is one of the best that
could be asked for. He was al
ways dMgent in looking after
matters that effected his Beat,
and could always be found on the
side of right of every question.
Capt. Berry is Confederate
soldier, giving four years of the
best part of his life to the service
of his country, and in now that
the evening of his life has come,
it is very fitting that he be given
the opportunity of serving
his people further. The an
nounceement of Captain
Berry does not come from him
personally, but through admiring
friends Of the District, who have
gotten together and petitioned
him to offer for the place.
Having had the experience that
he has on the Board, he is better
prepared than ever to serve ac-
ceptably, and his ambition is to
do the greatest good to the great
est number.
Should the voters see proper to
again honor s'Uncle" Pleas, they
will have the assurance that their
interests at the county capital
will be looked after as well as
any Beat in the county.

In spite of the long casualty
lists. of the present war, fought
with all the fiendish contrivances
of modern science, the destruct-
ion Of life is not SO great in pro-
portion to earlier wars when
soldiers fought hand-to-hand.
The most deadly Of all weapons
was the Roman short sword.
Caesar reported that, at the bat
tie he fought near Namur, his
soldiers slew 10000 of the Nervii.
There were no wounded when the
weapon was the short sword. AS
men began to fight at longer
range, the death lists grew short
er. It is an axiom of modern
war that it costs a soldier his
own weight in lead to kill one OF
the enemy. Peoples Home Jour

Sometimes an abundance of
time spoils a man for the best

most men do their best under

spoiled by not being kept busy

A Minor Plank.

The gubernatorial candidacy of
Lieutenant Oscar Johnston cam
not be dismissed by saying that
''he got no closer to the war than
a Tank Corps training camp in
Pennsylvania Any person who
thus seeks to discredit a mans
military record is lacking in pat
riotism. The fact is that Oscar
Johnston was ready and willing
to go. His failure to see service
on the battle front was not his
own fault. He was under orders
for foreign duty when the arm
istic was signed. It so happened
that when man is wearing the
uniform of the American army
he can't go to Europe whenever
he feels like it, but must wait for
orders from his commanding Of
cer.-Jackson News.
Nevertheless and notwithstand-
ing, his opponents will continue
to advertise and emphasize the
fact that he .tgot no closer to the
war than Tank Corps training
camp in Pennsylvania" and we
believe it would be good politics
upon his part and upon the part
of his friends to let his military
record be a minor plank in his
platform. In fitness for the Office
of Governor he is the peer Of any
and the superior Of most Of the
prospective candidates, and when
this fitness is properly ernpha-
sized by his supporters he can

joysthe confidence and esteem Of
his home people, which is one Of
the very best indications that no

county to announce for office this
year, and desires to 90 a step

this district as district attorney.
He is now serving his second term
as county attorney, which posi-.
ton he has filled with credit to
himself and to the county and his
worthy and well qualified for the
place he now aspires to. He is
well known to perhaps every
voter in the county, as we'll as to
q larger number Of people
throughout the Eighth judicial

ness for the Office.
Mr.. Anderson is native OF

ed and finished the public school
course and then completed his
literary education at Mississippi
College. He then graduated in

ing which he located at Newton
about eleven years ago for the
practice of his profession. He
has held the Office of county at
torney for this county practi-
cally ever since the office was
created, first being appointed by
the governor. So well did he per-
form the duties, that in 1911.
when he made the race before the
people with two opponents, led
the field and was elected by a
good majority. Four years ago
he came near defeating two oppo-
nents in the first primary and was
elected in the second. During his.
entire service, he has given a good
account of himself, serving with
efficiency and painstaking fideli-
ty. and has clearly demonstrated
his worthiness and competency
for the Office he now seeks. No.
mistake will be made in voting for
him next August. He is q good
