A GEORGIA. CANDIDATE

After the recent election in Geor-
gia candidate filed his expense ac-
count in the statement given below,
We trust that none of the Lincoln
county candidates will be so unfor-
tunate as to be defeated and espec-
tally If they have experiences similar
to this Georgia politician:
HIS EXPENSES.
This is the story of the election
expenses of a. Georgia man who was
defeated for county commissioner in
the recent primaries. His sworn
statement runs:
Lost, 1,349 hours of sleep think.
ing about the election. Lost two
front teeth and a whole lot of haiI
in personal encounter with my Op-
ponent. Donated one beef, -four
shoats and five sheep to a county
barbecue. Gave away two pair oi
suspenders, four calico dresses, $5
cash and thirteen baby rattles. Kiss
ed 126 babies. Kindled fourteen
kitchen fires. Put up four stoves
Walked 4,076 miles. Shook hands
with 9,076 persons. Told 10,101 lies
and talked enough to make in print
1000 volumes. Attended sixteen re-
vival meetings, and was baptized
times by immersion, and twice some
other way. Contributed $50 to for
eigm missions and made love to nine
grass widows. Rugged forty-nine ole
maids. Got dog-bit thirty-nine times
and was defeated"

IDEALISM UNDER FIRE.

Under the grilling of the lawyers,
Henry Ford has had rather rough
experience He has been made to ap-
pear illogical and to say many things
which, to those who know him, must
appear absurd. Idealism has little
chance of recognition on the witness
stand. 1t is not surprising that, to
avoid confusion and shut off further
controversy, Mr.. Ford admitted that
he was ''an ignorant idealist." In
making that concession he really
scored a triumph, for everybody
knows the character of his idealism
his great desire to be helpful to
his fellow men and to lift them out
of poverty and. industrial slavery;
his wholehearted generosity to his
employees and his marvellous success
in bringing happiness and prosperity
to thousands of homes. His idealism
is of a kind that shines all the
brighter when 1t is attacked. He
may know little about war and less
about history, and he may be weak
at definitions and perfect tyro in
politics and journalism; but he is a
citizen who can think for himself and
others, and whose record of helpful
ness might be envied by many who
have had large opportunities for SER
vice along idealistic lines but who
did not have the vision. The coun-
try would be glad to have many more
idealists of the Ford type. 1t is a
gift which culture may develop; al
though it may not confer it.

A MANS PRAYER.

The following taken from recent
issue of Hoard's Dairymen should be
read not once, but several times:
Teach me that so minutes make
an hour, 16 ounces one pound, and
100 cents one dollar. Help me so to
live that / can lie down on my pill
low unhaunted by the faces of
those to whom / have brought pain.
Grant that / may earn my meal tick
ct on the square, and that in earn
ing 1t may do unto others as /
would have them do unto me.
Deafen me to the Jingle Of tainted
money and to the rustic OF unholy
skirts. Blind me to the faults Of
others and help me to see my own.
Guide me so that whenever / look
into the face of my friends / will
have nothing to conceal. Keep me
young enough with little children,
and sympathetic enough to be con-
siderate Of old age. And when
comes the day Of darkened. shades
and the smell Of flowers, the tread
of soft steps and the crunching OF
wheels in the yard-make the cere-
mony short and the epitaph simple
Here lies a man."

Lincoln County Young Women Who
Did Their Bit.

Miss Beulah Williams arrived
home Saturday morning from Char
lesion, South Carolina, where she
went about two years ago to do her
bit" in a plant manufacturing naval
uniforms. When the factory dis
charged its employees. following the
cessation of hostilities, Miss Williams
was offered employment in the Char
lesion branch Of the Y. w. c. A, and
proved so efficient, that after q
months vacation here, she will as
sumo the duties of house secretary
in one of the Y. w. c. A. houses at
Charleston. Miss Williams speaks
with enthusiasm of the kind recep-
tion accorded young women employ
ees and the sailors and marines in
Charleston.
A number of Brookhaven and Lin
coin county women and young girls
were employed at the same factory
as Miss Williams, including her sis
ter, Miss Vida, but. all are now back
home except the former Miss Daisy
Smith who became Mrs. Harmon
wife of young marine, and is keep
ing house in Charleston until the dis
charge of her husband next Decem-
Der.
Miss Williams friends are much
gratiied at her success in the Y. w
C. A., which reflects credit upon the
Brookhaven High School and the
Normal College where she graduated
as we'll.

HIGH PRICES FOR PURE BREEDS.
Buyers From Twenty States Spend
$s6,5O2.2o At Fernwood,
Miss. Farm.

l. -
With buyers present. from 20 states
the sale of $36.502.20 Of pure bred
hogs at the Enochs farms at Fern
wood Friday established a worlds
record for a summer sale. according
to e. E. Elliott, beef specialist for
South Mississippi. who attended.
Forty-two head averaged $869.10,
while 27 head averaged s1,O0S, these
animal being bred to Joe Orion II.
The top sale was $2,250. All of. these
records were exceptional. Many ami
mails sold for sums ranging from ST.
200 to $4,000.
Mississippi buyers at yesterdays
sale, the last one on the Grand Cir
cult, were few, says Mr.. Elliott
much of the stock going to Tennes-
see, Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas
More than 100000 worth of fne
stock were placed in the sales rings
of the five farms Of the greatest Du-
roc sales circuit OF, America" Whites
White at Columbia, Pine Crest al
Charleston and the Enochs Farm al
Fernwood were the Mississippi
Breeders participating, Arkansas
having one farm and Tennessee one.
All of the Enochs Herefords are in
fine shape, and conditions in that sec
tion are flourishing.

THE SUCCESSFUL DOLLAR.

The dollar that goes to work is the
successful dollar. The idle dollar is
failure.
The successful dollar brings back
another dollar with it. 1t makes it.
self dollar and something-two
dollars-two dollars and something
"a whole family of dollars.
The careless dollar goes off some
where and is never seen again.
An Alabama man the other day
lost a life-time's savings-$7S6. His
dollars had gone off in the pockets
of two fake stock promoters. He had
not taught his dollars to keep good
company.
Hundreds of years ago a man to
whom. handful of dollars had been
trusted buried them in a napkin. He
got no increase-he did not even
keep what he had. One might as
well have nothing as keep an ide
dollar.
Up and down the street you see
the men who are successful-the
men who make their dollars work
for them. The successful dollar
works for the successful man.
The dollar that works is only a
dollar at frst. Then it is dollar
and something-it keeps on growing
itself; it attracts other dollars to it..
The dollar that succeeds is ener-
getic-and careful. War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Ger
tincates do more than save your dol
lars; they put them to work. And
they never fail.

Horses and Mules Sold at Crystal
Springs.

A dispatch from Crystal Springs
says:
More horses and mules have been
sold here this season than any pre-
vious season for a number of years
The farmers are stocking their farms
with good stock and several hun
dred horses and mules have been auc-
toned of here each Saturday fol-
several weeks. AS an evidence oi
the rapidity with which the farmers
buy UP these shipments, Saturday af-
ternoon e. H: Roebke and Company
shipped in mixed car of young
mules and horses. The car was un.
loaded at IL o'clock. The auction
began at 2 o'clock and at O'Clock
the auctioneer sold the last mule
The prices were good, ranging from
$65 to $125 per head.
Horses as a rule have been selling
rather low, and some fine bargains
have been made in horse buying. A
good many farmers are buying the
best of automobiles but they are al
so paying attention to stocking theiI
farms, and next season will ind them
well equipped with good mules and
horses on the farm.
Mr.. Wm. M. Turnbough, of Brook
haven had his usually successful sale
of horses and mules in Crystal
Springs last Saturday.

Il Is said ~ Mr. coman that

H
1t is said by Mr.. Conan that the
property Of the Mississippi peniten-
tiary Is now worth more than $5.-
100000. This valuation is based on
$40 land on Oakley and Rankin
farms, $50 on Belmont, SIS on o.
Keefe and $3.50 per acre on the
Parchman farm--ngures that are
considered low by men who are ac-
uuainted with the property. It is
understood that Mr.. Conan will sub
init to the next Legislature a prcpO-
sition that will provide for the pay
nent Of the state In ten years. and
that without costing the taxpayers
cent. The idea Is that every year
for ten years the sum of $500, 900
derived from the sale Of convict farm
products shall be set aside for this
purpose, thus creating surplus fund
that may be used for this purpose
only. DIR. Conan viii fgure IL out

HOW A SUCKER" WAS SAVED.


A city man got very glowing cir
cular from a Chicago development
company offering him 10 acres Of
land in Florida for the surprisingly
small sum Of $2,500--a peanut
unit" the circular called it. He
could grow. the circular said, thou
sand bushels OF peanuts on his 10
acres Of land and could sell the pea
nutsallowing for low prices-at 81
per bushel. The city man was i'm
pressed; but he sent the circular to
the United States Department of
Agriculture with a query as to
whether or not the investment was
good one. Following are some of
the sentences from the letter he got
in reply: THE literature is of the
kind designed to deceive city people
in the North and West who do not
know anything about farming" E"
THE average return from 10 acres
Of peanuts would not exceed $500
to $780," "You could buy 100
acre farm in almost any of the coun-
ties of western Florida, including the
one mentioned in the circular, for the
price these people ask for 10 acres. I"
The wohle unit" system, whether
it is pecans, peaches, ngs, cane, pea
nuts. hogs or what not, is simply a
means of selling land at three to Ave
times what 1t is worth to ignorant or
unwary small investors" "To pay
$2,500 for this 10 acres of land
would stamp you as sucker" of
the rankest class" "All this is with
out rejecting in any way on Florida,
for it is good state and lands are
comparatively cheap there"

Sons Give Equestrian
Statue of Hero Father

The following letter, which is
made doubly interesting on account
of it's touches of humor, has been re-
ceived by Capt. Rigby, from one of
the sons of Gen. Lloyd Tilghman,
who was killed at Champion Hill on
May Is, 1868. 1t is in reference to
an equestrian statue of the distin-
guished soldier which his sons pro-
missed to erect some time, in the park,
to the memory of their hero father.
The visitors were in Vicksburg in
1907:
New York, July 81, '19.
my Dear Captain;
Il am not dead, but have been TAX
ing a long nap. / wish you would
write me fully, are you still holding
open the site in the park for a sta
tue of Gen. Tilghman?
I'm leaving a provision looking to
the completion of the statue we have
so long had under consideration, to
whom should the funds be left?
II have been slow in finishing UP
the matter, but think can see my
way clear now, and as I am growing
old, want to put the matter in a
proper condition should / drop out.
II hope you are we'll, and l shall
be mighty glad to see you If you are
in this part of the country.
Very truly yours,
"F. B. TILGHMAN."
Gen. Tilghman was killed." said
Capt. Rigby, when he had fired one
Of the guns of Confederate battery
at Champion Hill, he stepped back
to see the effect of the shot and was
laid low by shot from Union bat
terry, dying almost instantly.
His two sons, New York bankers,
visited here in 1907, and it was at
that time that they promised the
statue of their father. So pleased
was the park commission, that in
recognition of their generosity, they
made Tilghman Memorial Circle
within the Confederate avenue en-
closure, and the site is still waiting
for the statue which is now destined
to occupy it."-Vicksburg Post.

PURE BREEDS ON PROJECT FARMS


Reclamation farmers Of the Mini

Holstein bred heifers for The Inn
provement OF their herds. The aver
age cost of the Shorthorns was s247.-
s5 and Of the Holsteins $316.3S a.
piece, all the annals being pure bred.
The cattle were appraised on deliv-
cry at the project, whereupon the
farmers drew lots for the stock and
paid for the animals on the basis of
their appraisement value. This ship
ment is typical Of several others
which recently have been distributed
