Judge T%hompson's Crushing Answer.
jackson, Miss, June 10, 1919.
Hon. Woods C. Eastland,
Chairman Longino Campaign Com,
Jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Sir:
1 am in receipt Of your letter of
yesterday. The charge made by the
supporters of the candidates for gov
ernor opposing Ex-Governor Longino.
to which you refer, are unsupported
by the facts. The charge that Lon
gino, during his administration of the
governors office, embracing the
years 19OO-19O3, borrowed for the
state the proceeds of the sales of the
lands granted by the United States
government to the state in trust for
the educational institutions, the Uni
versity of Mississippi, the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, the
Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical
College and the Industrial Institute
and College, and that Longino obligat.
ed the state to pay six per centum in
terest on said funds, is easily shown
to be untrue.
The legislature of the state, nearly
four years before Longino became
| governor, by act approved March IL,
i 1885,, accepted the University grant,
and, by acts approved February II,
1898, nearly two years before Lon
| gino became governor, accepted the
| grants to the other institutions Of
learning. The legislature, long be-
| fore Longino became governor, con-
| tracted and agreed to receive the pro
ceeds of the sales Of all of these lands
into the state treasury and obligate!
the state to pay six per cent interest
thereon, semi-annually, in accordance
with the provisions Of section PIP of
the constitution of 1890, reading thus
"The rate Of interest on the fun
known as the sChickasaw School Fund ;
and other trust funds for educational
purposes for which the state is re-
sponsible, shall be fixed, and remain
as long as said funds are held by the
state, at six per centum per annum
from and after the close Of the fiscal
year A. D. 1891; and the distribu-
ton of said interest shall be made
semi-annually, on the first Of May and
November of each year"

NEWTON RECORD WILL SUPPORT LONGING


After hearing all the gubernatorial candidates
speak and being reasonably familiar with the
record, reputation and character of each, The
Record has decided that it Will support Hon. A.
H. Longino for this important office, taking this
position with the feeling that the people as a
whole can best be served by his election at the
ensuing primaries.
The only motive this paper has ever had in
espousing the cause OF any man for political Of
flee is that in doing so it felt that the greater
good to the greatest number would accure there
by. This paper does not feel that it's judgment
in infallible or that it has been immune from
mistakes in the past, but it has always sought
to be sincere and honest in its motives, and iE
espousing the cause of Coz. Longino, this paper
knows that no mistake will be made if he is again
placed in the executive char.
In advocating the cleo. On of Gov. Longino,
this paper has no fight to make on any other
candidate, some of whom are personal friends
of the writer, and it expect to sling no mud"
It is not working against sosae other candidates
(s son of the papers are d1.ng) but for the man
of it's choice. None of the Candidates are pc feet,
for they would not be humasl beings if they yere,
and all have doubtless made mistakes IN the past.
So, the question is, not 20 has made the
most mistakes in the past, or who promises to
do the most in the future, b 1t who will probably
make the best and most economical gov nor.
if elected.
Gov. Longino has served one term and gave
an administration against which no one can say
aught. He has no axe to grind, no desire to build
up a political machine to further any future pol
lC1Idl Co IN ~ ~ +
candidate any more, and his only wish in the mat
ter is to serve the people. If elected there is no
doubt about his exerting every effort to round out
his political career with an administration that
will be for the betterment and advancement OF
the state. He is we'll qualified by reason of educa.
ton, broad views, thorough knowledge of the con-
ditions and needs of the state, wide experience
mature judgment, unquestioned honesty, and up
right christian character, and If elected will per
form the duties in such a way as to reflect credit
upon the state and himself. He is a conservative
business man and a man with the courage of his
convictions, who is not aligned with political fac
tons.
Gov. LONGING is a loyal democrat and devoted
to the interests Of Mississippi, he is young enougs
to be active mentally and physically, and ole
enough to be mature in his judgment, and Thu
Record believes that if he is put at the helm o.
the state for the next four years, the STANDARD
of the states affairs will be elevated and condi
lions will be improved, so far as it is in the power
of the governor to bring about these things.
So, for the foregoing reasons, The Record, ia
vors the election of Hon. A. H. Longino as our mex
governor.-Newton Record, June 10Th.

WITNESS IS IN
 ARMY IN FRANCE
Trial of Suit Brought By Max Cohen Against David
 Keen is Postponed.

Because an important witness is still in the military service in France it was necessary to postpone the trial of the suit brought by former City Sheriff May Cohen against David Keen. which was assigned for a hear ing before Judge Curtis in the super for court today. There was some op- position to the postponement and the court said if counsel could not agree to try the case tomorrow that he would hear a motion on Friday for the further disposition of the case. Cohen is suing to recover on a check for S95O given him by Keen. He said the check went to protest.
 The court also continued the case of Andrew J. Hallock of this city against Hubben. Merwin x Go. of New Haven. This action was brought to decide whether a mortgage on Will low street property in this city is valid. Hallock says that Joseph B. Morse. who executed the mortgage, ',ad no authority to do so.
