Are you satisfied, Mr.. Taxpayer, with the assessment placed
on YOU by the Board of Supervisors who say they must act
under the orders" of the August Tax Commission? II so, then
vote for Lee Russell for Governor for the reason that ne comes
ont flatfootedly for the Tax Commission, but if you are opposed
to the high handed methods of the Tax Commission, then vote
for Oscar Johnston for he is betting the political octupus from
Dan to Beersheeba, from Cape Cod to Kalamazoo, from yell
low Rabbit to Vinegar Bend, from h. to breakfast.

It is really surprising to see how many who have been swai-
lowing the Vardaman bait heretofore, hook, cork, line and even
the pole. who say they are for anybody to beat Lee Russell:
Wei. we are proud of the fact that we have at least mad a small
part in the work of trying to reform them. We extend them the
right hand of political fellowship, but now boys come all the
way. Don't do any halfway reforming. Remember that the
minister has told us all in revival meetings that there can De no
halfway conversion. It is incumbent son us to throw Off all the
load that has been burdening our souls" So come along. Inc
door is open and the lamp is burning.

Gov. Longino fought a good fight in his day. He S a Christ
ian gentleman and in every way worthy OF public confidence,
but that does not necessarily mean that he should again be Gov
ernor. We have scores upon scores Of men right IN Grenada
County who are christian gentlemen and in every way worthy
Of nublic confidence" but that does not mean that they should
be elected Governor. Gov. Longino had the honor of the Cover
nors office nearly twenty years ago. He tried to go from that Of
flee to the United States Senate and was defeated. Since that
time his name has been conneced with federal offices, yet he has
been resting in the shade. Two years ago he ran for Supreme
Judge of the middle district and was again beaten. All things
taken together, it looks like the lesson is, Enough, Dear Gov
ernor, let other and younger men tTy their hand"

Tn fellow who ran up the tree when he and his comrade were
overtaken in the woods by the bear, was of no aid to the fellow
on the ground who was being smelt over by the bear. There are
lots of fellows in Mississippi just now who have come down
from the tree and whose voices are bass and loud about elect
ing a certain most worthy and venerable gentleman Governor,
but the people of Mississippi will act upon the lesson taught IN
Webster's blue back" spelling book.

SEvENTY-FIvE PER CENT OF THEM

IS per cent of the men who have been actively and proml-
nently identified with the task of trying to redeem MISSISSIPPI
politically for the past twelve years, are for Oscar Johnston for
Governor. OF course there are a lot of "Well wishers,' and men
who "voted right" supporting the Ex-Governor, but what is a
well wisher' or the fellow who sits on the fence when you are
in a desperate scrap, worth?

PRICES GO UP

Prices go up and up in spite of h and high water and
some uf the fellows who are responsible for the initiation OF
prices are headed for the country where there is no high water.
There is a combination on somewhere that is giving the fellow
down the line unshirted thunder. There is going to be a 5low-up
somewhere if it keeps up and if prices continue to soar, we
don't give a ding if there is a blowup.

. Oscar Johnston has such a true appreciation of the position
of a soldier and such a tender regard for his sensiblltles that
he would not allow a commissioned officer to embarrass a Priv
ate with a petition in the interests of his candidacy. Most OF
us sign petitions readily regardless of what they are, and all
who know anything about the Army know that the boys gener-
ally think it e~xpedient to sign whatever a commissioned Officer
presents them. a~

NO NEED OF AN EXTRA SESSION

To talk of calling the Mississippi legislature together to
ratify the Woman's Suffrage amendment is like the thought or
calling the Christian ministry of the State together to test ls
position on saloons-we should know that the legislature, II
reflects the sentiment of the people of Mississippi, will not ratl-
fy the amendment. Anyway the struggling sisters can afford
to wait until January when the legislature elected this year
will meet in regular session. No use to go to the expense o a
special essiOn for a futile thing.

The legal sale of whiskey came to end in the United States
July l. The saloon interests, the whiskey men, brought about
this result. They resisted every effort to prevent corruption and
vice in connection with the whskey business and it looked like
that whenever men made up their minds to go into the saloon
business that at least a large per cent OF them made up their
minds to run rough shod over every tender sentiment and moral
structure of the community.

Nationwide prohibition went into effect July 1:Ien years
ago the man who would have said such a thing possible today
would have been declared ready for the, bughouse. But the
whiskey men themselves fastened the day. 1t now remains to be
seen whether there ar not some fanatics among the prohibition
lists who will not bring down upon the great cause of temperance
a somewhat similar fate meted out to the Whiskey business.

SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL
Big Five Weeks Campaign Closed Last
Sunday Night Nearly 60 Converts
During Meetings.

Last Sunday evening marked the
close of one OF the most successful
revival meetings ever held in Yale.
The campaign was Of five weeks dura-
tion at the Methodist Protestant church
and large crowds attended every SER
vice, ana at the last meeting the large
edifice was packed to the doors.
During the meetings sixty people
made confessions of faith and on Sun
day morning thirty five new members
united with the church. Rev. Crandell
informs us that he expects there will
be ten or fifteen more to follow.
Evangelist Stroup, who had charge
of the meetings during the three last
weeks, is very forceful speaker, and
his sermons were greatly enjoyed by
all who heard him. He left Yale on
Monday morning for Avoca to assist
ReY. Turbin in series of meetings
which were commenced on Sunday
evening.
Rev. Crandell and congregation are
grateful to the people of Yale and
vicinity for the interest taken in the

A Fine Entertainment

The program given by the Bryn
Mawr entertainers in the Auditorium
On Wednesday evening was well attend
ed by the townspeople and was worthy
of praise.
The numbers consisted of music,
piano and voice by Miss Marian Fa-
vile, dramatic readings by John +.
Chambers, and short farce by both.
Miss Faville is an accomplished mu-
sician on the piano and also has an ex-
tremely fine soprano voice which she
uses with pleasing effect.
She has been singing in various
camps throughout the country, doing
her bit for the soldier boys and her
rendition on Wednesday evening, of
some of their favorite songs showed
that she must have been highly ap-
preciated.
Her dramatic talent also, is not small
as her part in this line proved.
Mr.. Chambers has q good personality
and his readings and sketches were
given with spirit and expression. His
appearance in the navy uniform aud
the rendition OF appropriate verses
struck q right chord.
In point of attendance on the part
of the people and ability on the part of
the entertainers, the evening scored a
success.
