w. P. Hammett for
Supervisor District |

As related briefly in y<ts last issue or
The Advertiser W. P. Hammeft has an
nounced his candidacy FOR supervisor az
District No. 1, Holmes county, sabieet
to the decision of The Democratic electors
Of said district in the prims Fies scheduled
to be held in August Of the present year.
Mr. Hammett needs 40 iptrednetion TO
the voters, as he is one of cur foremost
and most progressive citizens. Ne has
been eminently successful in his private
endeavors, which is an Gugury that he
will conduct public business entrusted
to him with ability and signal success.
viii Hammett was not born with q for
tune awaiting him, but had to work for
every dollar he has accumulated. But by
splendid management, hard work and
strict economy he has succeeded in reach
ing the coveted goal of financial inde-
pendence. At present he operates two
splendid delta plantations and is inter
ested in various other enterprises. He
has had experience in several lines Of
business, having merchandised, conducted
hotel, livery and sales stables, etc., in
all of which he made a pronounced sue
cess, as he possesses sound judgment and
exceptional executive ability. Years ago
the position of supervisor was considered
sinecure and of not great Importance,
and any "hale fellow we'll met" could be
elected supervisor regardless of whether
he possessed good business qualifications
or not But times and conditions have
changed The assessed valuation Of
Holmes county has quadrupled and quin-
tupled within the past few decades, and
it's resources and expenditures have
greatly increased. There are many more
problems for the county solons to solve
than there were quarter Of a century
ago. Automobiles have superseded horse
or mule-propelled vehicles, and the horse
back rider is gradually lapsing into in
nocuous desuetude And with the auto
mobiles came the imperative demand for
good roads. Permanent roads Of the re-
quired width for cars to pass and repass
at any point are very costly, and it will
take some superior financiering to pro-
vide the funds with which to keep them
in serviceable condition the entire year
and throughout the changing seasons.

EA Ag sentimenG IS prevalent over

lieved that they will heed the call, in

Legislature win have many grave and in

urg by friends in various rts Of the
county to enter the race for circuit clerk
and after duly weighing the pros and
cons" he has decided to acquiesce to their
wishes, and has authorized The Adver-
tiser to make public the fact that he win
be a candidate for said office Of circuit
clerk, subject TO the decision Of the
Democratic primary election to be held
in August of this year. Mr.. Darnell Ia
by no means unknown to the people OF
Holmes county. Some years ago he nado
canvass of the county as candidate for
membership in the legislature and made
q most creditable and encouraging show
ing. In that canvass he gained large
number of friends in evory precinct la
the county, who will be glad of an op-
portunity of furthering his ambition to
serve Holmes county in the capacity Of
circuit clerk. Ever since attaining his
majority Mr., Darnell has taken very
active part in everything calculated 10
advance the best interest Of the county
and Its superb citizenship. When the
subject of a creamery for this section was
frst broached Mr.. Darnel appointed hina-
self committee of one and interviewed
the farmers Of the trade territory b
ascertain the number Of cows that could
be counted upon as nucleus for start
ing this splendid enterprise. There were
many croakera and pessimists who dia~
couraged the project, but Mr.. Dsrnell
kept on with his work and it Ia largely
due to his enthusiasm and his efforts
that there Is now located In Lexington
creamery plant, which has given won@
derful stimulus for dairying and to cattle
and hog raising in Holmes county. Mr..
Darnell has followed tho liberalization
policy in his farming operations, and II
recognized as one of the most progressive
and successful farmers in the county.
Mr.. Darnell was born and reared Ia
Holmes county and has spent his entire
life within its boundaries. He received
splendid high school education, supple.
mented with most practical course In
bookkeeping, which has been put to
test In the management and accounting
of the estate Of his father, the late G.
w. Darnell, which has Just recently been
settled. Mr. Darnell is young and vigor-
GUS and full of energy, He possesses
sound judgment and exceptional execu-
tive ability, is splendid penman and
expert bookkeeper and accountant He
is man of sterling character and rug
ged honesty and is highly esteemed By
all who know him. He is atfable, cour-
teous and accommodating, and will prove
an ideal official should he prove success
fui in his aspirations.

Methods of farming have changed won
derfally of late. The majority Of the
farmers Of Holmes county have emerged
from the "one-crop rut" and have rele-
gated cotton to q secondary position.
In order to facilitate the change and TO
assist the farmers in solving the multi
tudinous problems incident upon O de-
parture from lifelong methods, the Of
fees Of county farm demonstration
agent and home economies have been
created, There are now three men con-
nected with the farm demonstration
agency, all drawing good salaries, and
there are necessarily incidental expenses
hGonnected with both the farm demonstra-
tion agents and the home economies
agents offices. Bond issues have been
made and more must be made in order
to complete the contemplated system Of
highways and to keep them in repair.
Thousands of dollars are appropriated at
every meeting of the board now to where
one dollar was allowed twenty-five years
ago And the ratio will necessarily in.
crease with each passing year. 1t is
therefore evident that it is vitally i'm
portant that the men entrusted with the
management Of the county's affairs be
l1nowb To possess executive ability of the
highest order. Mr.. Hammett comes under
the category of self-made, successful
man. He started in life with no capital
but now occupies prominent place
among the leading inanciers of the coun-
ty. His ability has been fully demon
strated and his probity Is unquestioped
He Is Just the kind Of man that the
board of supervisors should be COM
posed Of.

One Of Holmes county's best known
and most highly revered citizens, F. A.
Howell, has entered the race for county
treasurer, and authorizes The Advertiser
to so announce him, subject to the action
of the Democratic primaries to be held
in August. Mr.. Howell was born and
grew up to manhood in Choctaw county,
Mississippi. At the outbreak of the slate
unpleasantness" between the North and
South he promptly offered his services
to the Confededaey and was placed in
Co. F, l1th Mississippi Infantry, in
which he remained until the battle OF
Gettysburg when he became disabled BY
reason of gunshot wounds from further
infantry service. After the lapse Of q
little over twelve months he rejoined the
army and became a member of the 9th
Mississippi Cavalry, Co, 8, where he con-
tinued until the close of the war. In
February, 1867, he arrived in Holmes
county where he has continuously resided
ever since Mr.. Howell quickly identified
himself with the best interests of the
county Of his adoption and has been
prominently connected with its growth
and advancement along all lines, material
and religious. He has been very active
in church work; was for over decade
