MISSISSIPPI ELECTS
RUSSELL GOVERNOR
General Election Held Yesterday
-Fate Of School Amend
ment IN Doubt.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 4.-The Mis-
sisalppi Democratic ticket was elect
ed Iii 1tday's general election with a
vote approximately Of $4,000, based
on unofficial returns from several
counties aud with the Socialist tick
ct polling less than 10000. Lee M.
Russell Of Oxford, Democrat. was e.
leeted governor and H. H, Casteel
lieutenant governor.
The Democratic vote was one-third
OF that pOlled at the recent primary
in which nominations were made.
James n. Lester, grandson Of for
mer Governor Poindexter, was the
Socialis| nominee for governor.
A Constitutional amendment
Changing the system of apportion-
ing school funds aud providing e.
quail educational facilities over the
state, was voted on. County officers
were elected.
Owing to the length of the ticket,
with more than. so names to be can
vassedl the tabulations are slow. The
indications are that the city of Jack
son and the balance of Kinds county
outside, will give substantial ma
jority to the amendment to the con-
stituti0n for a more equitable distri-
button Of the common school funds.
20 reports have been sent in from
the country boxes, but as unofficial
ly reported, except for the six Jack
son precincts, the balloting as rule
has been exceedingly light.
The Socialist ticket polled only a
few scattering votes.

Values Make Big Gain

Indianola, Miss, Oct. S1.-The his
tory of sales of one section Of the
Sunfiower county land within the
last five years is interesting, espec-
tally as only about 100 acres of the
635 is open land. In 1914 the land
sold for cash $4,000. deferred pay
ment $4,000. Later in the same year
it sold at an advanced price of $4,-
900, about $4,000 going to the selling
agent. nj 1917, 1t sold for s21, 900,
the selling agent pulling down pro-
fit Of $4,000. In 1918 the price
reached $4S, 700, the profit-taker get
ting around $4,000. In 1919, anoth-
er profit-taker pulled down $4,000,
but another profit-taker sliced on
$4,000. These sales are shown by the
land deed records.

STRONG APPEAL OF
ARMENIAN WOMEN
Ask Protection from Turks and
For Right 20 Live and
Love.

Geneva, Switzerland.-An appeal
of the women of Armenia to the wo-
men of America to help them and
protect them from the Turks has
been forwarded from this city by an
Armenian girl, Nelly de Warhrameff,
for distribution in the Uni ted States.
In note accompanying it, the girl
says that her appeal has the approval
Of Antony Kraft Bonnard, Of Geneva,
secretary general of the Federation
of Swiss Committees of Friends OF
Armenians. The plea reads.-
ITO you, our sisters, women df the
United tSates, we cry out in our
anguish.
From our mountains, our plains,
from the desert, as well as from your
own hospitable country, weI women
of Armenia, all raise our voices. Lis
ten to our appeal. Who better than
we could speak? Our men are dead.
Yours also have fallen, but as sol
diers on the field of honor. Ours
have been eowardly pursued and
murdered. The children that we have
pressed on our breasts have been torn
away from us by thousands; our
young girls are lamenting in harems.
Have pity on us. Who else couId
protect us? Shall we be left in our
despair? No, that is NOT possible.
If our hearts are bleeding, yours will
bend over our wounds.
Hold out your hands to us. We
only ask for the right to live and to
love; but to obtain that, Turkish
domination must be done way with.
Tell to your government So We must
obtain complete and nna1 release.
Beware of Turkish intrigues!
Do not believe those who slander
US!
Our peoples only crime is to be
Armenians, that is: Christians.
Our wish is to rebuild. our coun-
try and our homes with the surviv-
ours who have been spared us.
DO help us, women of the United
States!
Help us, we women Of Armenia
who are weeping, but stiff hoping
for we trust in Gods love-

RELIGIOUS, SOCIAL
SURVEY OF STATE
State Supervisor Harmon Says
Facts "Cry for Immediate
Ratification"

jackson, Miss, Oct. 31.-The re-
ligious and social survey which Is
being conducted throughout the state
Of Mississippi under the direction OF
the Interchurch World Movement,
has been carried to a large number
1of the counties and arrangements
are rapidly being completed where
by the entire state will be covered
at an early date. 1t Is being made
with the cooperation Of all the va
rious denominations Of the various
counties, being handled in each ccun-
ty by specially appointed man from
the county, VINO Is procuring the me-
cessary data in conference with the
various denominational leaders.
The Interchurch World Movement
which is conducting the survey, is an
agency Of all Protestant denomina-
tions with a skilled corps Of experts
in rural survey. 1t is a movement
without reference to a church fede-
ration or organic unity, but simply
aims at establishing a medium Of Co
operation between the various de-
nominationa1 bodies in covering the
religious life of the nation. This
survey which is being made in Mis-
sissippi is also being extended II
every county in every state in Amer
ica, and also to the foreign mission
feld. It embraces many industrial
agricultural, social, and other fea
lures Of general interest that will bt
of great service to the public a.
large.
Rev. G. S. Harmon, state superyis
or, says surveys which have aIread.
been completed reveal number O
startling facts in the religious lif'
Of the country which cry for imme
diate ratification. Graphic map
which have been drawn, showing TIL
distribution Of church influence
throughout the rural sections. indi
cate that there are large areas tina
are served by nonresident pastor
who are unable to give any time +
their PASTORAL duties other thai
preaching once d month. The pur
pose Of the survey is to get facts re
veaIing these conditions and thel
submit them to the churches for dc
finite action.

GOVERNMENT ASKS
FOR THRIFT IN WOMEN
This No Time to Spend Except
Wisely for Essentials.

II the women will only watch and
read the speeches of the best speak
ers of the day they will see the dan
ger that Is pending and they will
do all In their power to curtail their
expenses.
The women Of the day will shortly
be franchised and equal with men,
before the law the responsibility ma
turally follows, that they should as
sumo and look more sQuarely in the
face the responsibility that naturally
falls on their shoulders.
1t has been found to be a lamen-
table fact that our country has been
the most thriftless and most spend
thrift nation in the world. The war,
in a large measure, did correct this.
Since the signing of the armistice
the women have gone about regard
less Of their expenses and are most
heedlessly spending their Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps for
luxuTtB1k We are not yet readjusted,
and win the women of the nation
not rise up and see that this is no
time to spend, except most wisely
and for eescntlalb9
II il the WOmRn's time To learn
hoN A a and what to snend and
when to spend. She should only
realize that seventy-nve per cent of
the money of the world is spent by
her, and that this spendthrift ma
tion is of her making. VIII she not
wake up to her sense Of duty and
correct this national fault by spend
ing more wisely?
We have had in the past few days
an example in Washington of the
conditions which this government is
now going through. The president, S
veto has been oYerridden by both
Houses. When a president and Con-
gress are out of tune, and when the
nation is seething like this and when
social unrest is on all sides it be-
hooves us to think wisely and to act
sanely.
The United States Council OF Ma
tional Defense, composed of the sec
retaries of war, the navy, the inter-
ior, agriculture, commerce and labor,
has reiterated warning to the peo-
pie Of the United States-the neces-
sity for increased economy and saw
ing on the part of every citizen.
After outlining the causes of the
high cost of living the statement of
the council said:-
THE entire nation-producer, dis
tributor and consumer alike-shouId
return to the unity that won the war.
Group interest and undue personal
gain must give way to the good OF
1.-THE whole nation II the situation is
to be sQuarely met.
Our common duty now, fully as
much as in the war, is to work and
to save. In the words Of the presi-
dent in his addresses to the country
on August 20, 1919, only by increas-
ling production, and by rigid econo-
my and savings on the part of the
people, can we hope for large de-
