DIR. w. Ii. Sykes Offers for the
State Senate.

Yielding to the solicitations of his
numerous friends. and impressed
with the responsibility of the high
place he has consented to fill. DR..
w. G.. Sykes has permitted his
name to be offered as a candidate
for the State Senate from Monroe
county.
DIR. Sykes is Confederate vet
crate who served during the times
in Southern history that tried men 5
souls. Many of his comrades in
that awful struggle and the descend
ants of those comrades will be graf
flied at the chance to cast their
votes for him-thus honoring one of
the heroes of the old South and at
the same time serving the best in
terests of the new South and their
beloved State.
The next session of the Missis-
sippi legislature is demanding much
needed legislation that ought to be
enacted or revised to comprehend
the States many interests, if Mis-
sissippi is to keep abreast with other
states in that development, which
after the war adjustments, promise to
the n tion. Monroe coun-
ty and Mississippi need the best
men of mature judgment they
have to look after the interests and
promote the welfare, prosperity and
happiness of the people of the state.
In DR.. w. O.. Sykes. the people of
both county and state will have
senator that will meet the fullest re-
quirements of the emergency in the
position which he has consented to
fill.
DR.. Sykes has been one of Mon
roe county's esteemed citizens all
his life, and has served his county,
state and country in various honor
able positions of trust, and always
without emolument except the COM
mendation of his fellow country
men which has always been most
freely bestowed He has never Of
fered for public office before and
would not at this time. except at
the earnest insistence of his numer-
Gus friends. Taxpayers from all over
the state are calling men of ability
to the House and Senate. They
realize that the new order of things
and the rapid development of the
State demand the best talent they
have to meet these new conditions.
Monroe will not be one whit be-
hind her sister counties, but will
choose men to represent her whose
credentials of fitness. judgment and
intellectual equipment weigh most
in the promise of wise. prudent and
sane legislation. DR.. Sykes will
meet his fellow countrymen, every
one of them that opportunity per-
mits him to see. and discuss with
them the public questions and
measures that concern Us all. He
would appreciate the vote of every
person as much as any man, and
would regard every vote given him
as a token of confidence and the be-
stowal of an honor, which he would
endeavor to reward, in case of his
election, with conscientious legisla-
tive service in the interest of his
county and state.
No one is better equipped in
qualities and qualifications that 60
to make a competent and capable
lawmaker than is DR.. Sykes.
The people are indeed fortunate
that he has permitted his name to
be used in an offer to serve his
county and State in the Senate.

in Mississippi. In 1915, he made
the race for superintendent of edu-
cation in this county and received a
very creditable support in the cleo
ton. By education and training.
Mr.. Dabbs is peculiarly fitted to
make Monroe good lawmaker.
No session of the State legislature
has convened in years that calls for
men of better qualifications and
judgment to take care of the inter
ests of the State. Many laws that
should be shaped to meet the re-
quirements of the reconstruction
that necessarily must come after the
war will be needed.
Mississippi should leap forward
under such wise laws to new de-
velopment under the impulse of this
new epoch into which the nation is
Just now entering.
Mr.. Dabbs will meet the people
on the hastings and tell them what
he stands for and outline his legis-
latlye program. and if the people
should choose him as one of the
representatives from this county, he
would be alert to give them the best
service that lay In his power.

COTTON GINNING

Census ginning report of last Sat- urday shows that the official estimate of 10,696,0O0 bales is too high. As the crop is steadily losing ground, the country is confronted with what is relatively the shortest cotton crop of modern times.
 Only 4,879,483 bales had been ginned up to October IS, the time of the compilation of this report. In the past four years 55.6eo of the crop has been the average ginned at that date. Florida, Georgia and southern Ala bama have almost finished picking, and from other parts of the belt there does not appear to be sufficient un- harvested cotton to any more than equal the average.
 Killing frosts have held off thus far but now we are within a week of November and freezes must be ex- pected. Absence of frosts has been partly ozset by heavy rains from the  Mississippi valley eastward. Cotton has been beaten out of the open bolls by wind and rain; seed has sprouted, and much of the fiber has been dis colored by the elements. The much talked of "top crop" has not material ized, and, in fact, rarely ever does. This year the sappy plant was in no better condition for large yield than an over-fat horse would be to run a race.
 Growth condition from the time the seed was planted to the present, soil and weather conditions, ginning re- turns and all relevant facts point to a crop that is calamity in size. There is no escape from the fact, also, that this crop will furnish less than the usual percentage of cotton of a grade tenderable on contract, or that will meet the ordinary demands of the spinners. It is not only low in pro- duction, but low in grade. Journal, New York.

greater egort to expand economic au- tonomy, now that the great war brings victory and continental pres tige.
 French merchants look rather to the loss than the profit side of each account. In prolonged periods of peace prosperity this may have it's handicaps. After long war it is not without advantages. French traders earn their profit when they buy. They reckon to the centime the profit in merchandise cost as loss out of their own pocket. They do not therefore buy enthusiastically from their credi- tors, but they sell sedulously and with scrupulous care to their debtors
 Thus they have, with tireless per sistency in minute effort, depIoyed a vast line of defensive retail trade throughout Russia (their largest deb- tori, through China and of course in the French colonial dependencies. They shun debt, and invest, not for large profit but for maximum cer- tainty of return. From the very ruins of their manufactories a new Gallic spirit will emerge to preach economy, saving and curtailment of new exten- nal liabilities.-Journal, New York.

TRADING WITH FRANCE

What is to be our future French trade? United States government loans to that country at January 1, 1919, stood at $2,436, 100000. Export balances from January 1, 1915, to Oc- tober 31, 1918, ran up to an aggre- gate of $2,754, 100000 in our favor, or $318,000,000 less than the loans. French trade is not therefore now ''tied" to the American exporter. Future French financing may be de- pended on to provide against it's be- coming so. We have every reason to look for great decline in the dollar value of our exports to France from the total of $3, ,112 100000 for the past three years and ten months.
 Our exports ot France for 1911, 1912 and 1913, totaled but S437 000,- GOO. Aggregate export trade balan- ces for these three years was but $42 ,205, ,3S7-easily settled out of the pocket of American tourists, without touching centime of the private in- come from French investments on this North American continent. France developed her own industries and has marshaled the economic order of her workers under her own protective policy; she will reconstruct both. She is already doing so. The armistice renewal calls for the immediate re- turn by Germany to France of manu- facturing machinery sufficient to em- ploy 5OO,000 mechanics.
 French commerce has been extend ed, French financial power increased, in spite of the intensive competition which has always hemmed it in on all sides-German, Swiss, Italian, Bel gian, Spanish and Dutch. The stay ing fatalities of the French economic system received tremendous strength out of the defeats of the Napoleonic wars. They will be reconstructed to
