CARD FROM HON. LEE
RUSSELL.

To the People of Mississippi:
II am deeply grateful for the loyal
and faithful service performed by my
friends in electing me to the highest
office within their gift, as governor
of this great commonwealth.
when | began my campaign l
firmly decided to run the race free
from all personalities, and | adhered
to this course throughout the cam
paign. The public records of all men
are the property of the whole people,
and whatever reference | may have
made to my opponents were based
upon their official acts.
"The people of the state realize
that was handicapped by lack of
sufficient funds to give the proper
publicity to my campaign, but by
working exceedingly hard | was able
TO speak in many places throughout
the state and thereby get my mes
sage delivered to the people.
You, the people, also know that
the opposition to me had and used un-
limited funds to encompass defeat
and my loyal friends were pitted
against the railroads, big corporations
and combined money power of the
state.

but, thanks to the fair minded voters,
their efforts came to naught.
Il am glad to know that my distin-
guished opponents found nothing
amiss in my record Of u years of
faithful public service. Every man,
whether friendly or not, admitted that
! advanced a splendid progressive
platform which, if enacted into law,
would mean much for the betterment
of the state in years to come. Not
withstanding the methods stated
above, which were used to bring
about my defeat, | shall go into this
high and exalted office with no hate
in my heart. 1t shall be my purpose
to devote my entire time and the
strength of my mind, heart and body
in a sacred effort to serve the whole
people of Mississippi.
81 realize keenly that | am but the
public servant of all the people of
this magnificent commonwealth.
shall be guided by the wisdom of the
leading men of our state in the past,
and uphold the tradition of our great
people, and shall cooperate with ev-
cry worthy interest in church and
state to achieve the largest returns
for the whole people. | invite the
suggestions, therefore, of all the good
men and women for the purpose of
making my administration what it
should be. | want the help and the
prayers of all good people to uphold
me in the administration of the mani
fold functions of this office

18th Boys viii Soon Be Home.

Reports coming from Fort Russell
are to the effect that the 18TH In
fantry will be demobilized on Friday
and the boys will start home at once.
Many of them have now been in the
service for over three years and form
one of the veteran regiments of the
service. They served on the Mexican
border in 1916, and have been con-
tinually in the service since. The
regiment left last summer for France
34OO strong and came back with less
than thousand. While not officially
in battle its force was continually
drawn on for replacement troops and
as a result it lost over one hundred
men killed and eight hundred wound
ed.

Colorado Notes.

The price being paid for sugar beets
this season, SO a ton flat, has stimu-
lated the interest of farmers in this
crop, with the result that Colorado
will have, if conditions remain favor
able throughout the planting season,
the largest sugar beet acreage in its
history this year. There will be a
very marked increase in acreage in
the northern Colorado district, with
smaller increases in the Arkansas val
ley and on the Western Slope, accord
ing to reports received by the Co.
operative Crop Reporting Service
Conditions to date have been very fav-
orable for getting the crop under way,
except for considerable excess Of
moisture in the Arkansas valley and
parts of the northern Colorado dis
trict early in April, which delayed the
spring blowing materially.
Reports received by the State Co
operative Crop Reporting Service in
dictate in general way a better supply
of farm labor at this time than was
available at this time last year. Mark

sections, particularly in psrts Of tbs

A Kind Deed Appreciated.

Some great man said, he delighted
to do good deed in secret, and then
unexpectedly have it come to light.
Recently o. C. Harling, the son OF
Mr.. w. E. Harling of Pleasant Lane,
did very kindly deed for comrade
in the shipyard at Newport News, Va.
He stood by him until nothing more
could be done in a sudden and fatal
attack of illness, and gathered to-
gether the necessary amount OF mon
ey for his needs. After his death the
following excerpts from letter from
his mother in Charleston were re-
ceived by Mr.. Harling: 81 am writing
with tear-dimmed eyes, but l want
you to remember my gratitude for
all your kindness and goodness
shown me in my awful and almost
unbearable trouble. You have won a
large part in our hearts. Mr.. Harling,
YOUR kindness will never be forgot
ten, and I know the good Lord will
always bless you with many bless
ings."

Sad Death of Mrs. Luther
OuarIes.

On Thursday afternoon of last
week just about twilight, at that sad
hour of the day as night is falling,
Mrs. Luther Quarles was called from
life of service to her home above
Mrs. Quarles was literally taken
from her work, being busy when she
was suddenly taken very i'll, and died
in a few minutes at about 6:3O
o'clock. This was a great shock and
surprise to everybody, for the people
had not heard her complain.
Mrs. Quarles had been living in
Edgefeld for a number of years, all
her children having been reared in
this vicinity. She was 80 years of age
last August. Before her marriage,
she was Miss Emma Williamson, of
Aiken county. She leaves her hus-
band, Mr.. L. G. Quarles, two grown
sons, Getzen and Mack; Ralph ten
years of age and Geneva, just 16. All
were with her at the time of her
death.
The funeral was conducted from
the Baptist church, of which she and
her family were members, DR.. R. G..
Lee officiating. Many friends were
present to pay tribute to her men,
ory. At the grave the family and
friends stood by as the last sad words
were spoken.
Many lovely flowers covered the
casket, designs sent by individuals
and the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of which she was faith
full member. y
Her family who attended from a
distance were her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. P. Williamson, brother, S.
M. Williamson and sister, Mrs. II. L..
Marshman of White Plains, Ga, Mr..
and Mrs. S. L. Gay and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Stewart, sisters, of Augusta,
and brother, W. B. Williamson of
Norwood, Ga. An aunt, Mrs. Yaun of
Aiken county and a number of Mr..
Quafles' relatives from Edgefield
and Met Cormick counties.
Qiarles was loved bys al
who knew her and had led an un-
selfish and consistent Christian life
in our midst. She was friend of
mine, and was cordial and hospitable,
generous and cheerful in all that we
undertook together.
