Reports from France are the
effect that approximately 100000
American soldier boys will re-
marin in France, many of whom
will marry French women. Well,
that is just what we expected, but
all the same there will be many
French war brides who will come
to America with their hubbies.-

DR.. Ellis, federal inspector in
charge of hog cholera in West
Tennessee, gives the following in.
teresting and instructive infor.
nation in regard to that disease
Cholera is a highly contagious
disease caused by a specific or
ganism. Filth, lack Of feed, lice
etc., will not produce it. The or
ganism that causes it must be
carried from one hog to another
and taken into the system, usually
through food and water. Once q
hog has the disease and lives
through 1t he is immune for life.
Knowing positively that cholera
does, not occur, but that it is a
specific disease that is caught or
transmitted just as people catch
typhoid fever, the farmer merely
needs to know just how he can
protect himself against the en-
trance of the germ that causes it.
There is one absolute protection
and there is positively no cure. To
speak of cure to a person who
has made a careful examination
OF the internal organs of hog,
sick with cholera is an insult to
his intelligence. The only abso-
Lutte protection is immunization.
Sanitation may keep the germs a.
way or kill them before they find
entrance to the hogs system. San
itation implies keeping hog hous-
es and lots away from roads and
streams and so located that they
can be readily cleaned and disin-
fected. Sunlight is the best germ
killer. Mud holes, wallows, ETC.,
should be gotten rid of and clean
water, provided. Dead hogs
should be burned and nothing
left about the place to attract
buzzards. Cresol and lime should
be used freely about the runs,
houses and sleeping quarters.
Such sanitary measures should be
always taken,4. but they are far
from absolute even when we'll adj
ministered."

one would say that would be toe

almost all of them, gets raise

not very much benefit to the ma
jority Of the tax payers. Now,
don't mean to cast any reflections
on any one, but am stating the
plain facts as / see them, and as
they come under my own obser-
walton.
l don't think that the road laws
intended for the present public
roads to be used for any and all
purposes. Under the present plan
our roads are worked they will do
very we'll for the local travel, but
when saw milling and log hauling
starts with large teams and wag-
ons, every day, rain or shine, in
the same old ruts, and it is rain
ing every day, then you may look
for bad roads, and l think some
thing ought to be done to pro-
tect the roads in such cases.
This is not all l stand for, but
just few thoughts on these lines
and if I am elected as member
of the Board, will do my dead
level best to see that the interest
of Beat 5 is taken care of to the
best of my ability. / am appeal
ing to Beat 5 because there is
where my greatest attention will
be directed.
Now, in conclusion will say
that if elected / will ever be
watchful to curtail the expences

BILE, and ! will follow the old adj
age, Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none."

ply from the voters Of the Beat in

Brandon, Miss, r. 2.

Mr.. Nash is too we'll known to
the people of Beat 5 for us to
attempt to say anything in his
behalf. For four years he serv-
ed them as Supervisor, and we do
not believe that the county ever
had more painstaking or better
Supervisor.
He comes before the people a.
gain at time when the services
of cur very best men are needed
in public affairs, and has out
lined few of the things that he
stands for, and which he will put
into execution in case of his cleo
ton. The good roads question
will be the main thing in Rankin
county for the next few
years, and it is impera-
tive that strictly business men be
put at the head of the county
government.
Mr.. Nash has proved his worth
and if again honored with the of.
flee he will be in better shape
than ever to give his people {
good administration.

The Negro and the South


In q recent issue the CONNER
cial published a press dispatch
from Washington which stated
that the negroes had become BIZ
goted as result Of having par
ticipated in the recent war and
that they were likely to@give the
South much trouble. We can't
but think, however, that the state
ment is untrue, or at least ex-
aggerated; for many local negroes
who for months past have been
engaged in the performance Of
military duties have already re-
turned home and are, so far as we
can judge, just as polite and as
courteous to the white people as
they were before they left home.
The Washington dispatch stat
ed that among other things the
negroes would demand the right
of ballot and educational advan-
tages equal to those enjoyed by
white people. We do believe
however, that there will be any
general demand for either of
these privileges. Some of the
northern negroes may endeavor to
inaugurated a movement with
these ends in view,
but about all they will
get out of it is little free
newspaper advertising, for the
average southern negro is cont
ented with his lot and is perfect
" willing to let well enough alone.
It is a significant fact that all
demands for negro reforms, or
rather so-called reforms, original
ed in the North. The average
southern negro wants neither the
right of ballot or the same educa-
tional advantages as those enjoy
ed by members of the Caucasian
race. The negroes now enjoy the
privilege of attending good gram
mar schools, and to provide high
schools for them would be a sheer
waste of money as most memb-
ers of the race go to work at
just about the age at which they
would ordinarily enter such in
situations. The grammar schools
fit the negro to become self-sup-
porting, and that is all any right
thinking, industrious member of
the race desires.
The ordinarily intelligent
southern negro is fully aware of
the fact that he is better off with
out the privilege of the ballot
than he would be with it; for he
knows that an exercise of this
would be likely to re-
suit in race trouble, and this is
what the really worthy black
man desires to avoid. He knows
that members of the Caucasian
race possess superior intelligence
and that, therefore, both the |
and the execution of the
laws should be left in their hands. |
The fact that so many negroes
who left the South few years
ago have returned shows that /
they do not like tht North, and if |
they are not interfered with by
INSCRIPTIONS politicians they will |
continue to dwell here in peace !
and amity. The northern people
do not understand them and
should not attempt to urge
southerners to make utterly
useless changes in the laws A.
