Mr.. Leonard Scruggs
For Tax Assessor

The attention of the voters of Lee
flore county is directed to the an
nouncement in this paper of Mr..
Leonard Scruggs as a candidate for
the office of Tax Assessor, subject
to the decision of the ensuing Aug
ust primary election.
Mr., Scruggs is one Of Greenwood
and Leflore county's best known young
men and promises if elected Tax AS
SCISSOR to give the people first-class
service. His card to the voters fol-
lows:
To the Voters of Leflore County:
Believing that now is the time for
capable young men to ask your con-
sideration for public office, l am an
nouncing my candidacy for the office
of Tax Assessor. This is not for the
purpose of asking you to GIVE me
anything, save your loyal and 'enthus-
iastic support, for when elected l
propose to render the county value
received, in efficient and faithful SER
vice, for every dollar derived from the
office l seek. l have had two years
experience as deputy in this office,
and believe that l am competent to
discharge the duties of the office to
the entire satisfaction Of every voter
in the County.
AS some of you perhaps know, I
have only recently been discharged
from military service, altering hav-
ing given some eighteen months, as a
volunteer, in the service. both in the
States and in France. Having been
practically out of connection for this
period of time with the bushes life a
young mar naturally finds it some
what difficult to begin at the same
place, and at the same pay, at which
he left off. Having upon me the re-
sponsibility of a family for which to
provide, and at the same time being
DESTROYS of serving my County, as l
have served my Country, and upon
the earnest solicitation of many of my
friends, l hereby ask your vote in the
coming election. e
/ am sure no nan will appreciate it
more; / believe no mar will render
you better service.

LONGING IN THE
FIRST PRIMARY
Declares Mr.. j. p. Metts Who Has
Returned From Trip Through
Fifteen Counties

Our esteemed fellow-townsman,
MI. J.P. Nets, one of the most popu-
lar travelling statesmen in Mississippi,
arrived home last night from a bust
8 trip through fifteen counties in
different sections of the State, and in
forms The Daily Commonwealth that
there is no doubt about Hon. A. H.
Longino winning the nomination for
Governor in the first primary cleo
ton next August.
Mr.. Nets made the following coun-
ties on his recent trip: Bolivar, Wash
ington, Sunflower, Humphreys, Le-
1lore, Carroll, Holmes, Montgomery,
Choctaw, Attala, WINSTON Neshoba,
Newton, Tallahatchie and part of
Yazoo.
He discussed the Gubernatorial sit
uation with merchants, farmers, law
yers, doctors, and representatives of
all avocations, and says that practi-
cally all of them were enthusiastical-
ly supporting Longino, and freely ex-
pressed the belief that he would be
easily nominated for Governor in the
first primary; that every travelling
mar he talked to expressed the same
opinion, and that each of them were
active Longino supporters.
Mr.. Nets said that when he visited
Longino headquarters while in Jack
son, the Governor requested him to
send in the names of those whom he
| thought it would be well to write
| but that he found the sentiment sc
universal in his favor he was unable
to make up a list in compliance with
the request.
This is gratifying news to Governor
Longino's legion Of friends in Leflor'
county, where he is SO universally es
teemed and will receive between Il
and IS per cent of the vote cast il
the August primary.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1919-05-07
THE LONGING INTEREST.

The unaninlity which the people seem deter
mined to put Longino back in the million dollar
capital built under his administration without
graft, bonds or scandal, is one of the most re-
markable upheavals in the history of the State.
The press and people in every direction are say
ing they never saw anything like it. The Green
wood Commonwealth, published in the Delta, says
that seventy-five per cent of the people of Le-
flore county are for Longino, and like gratifying
reports come from other counties, of Humphreys,
Grenada, Tallahatchie, Carroll, Bolivar, Sharkey,
Yazoo, Issaquena, Sunflower, Holmes, Washing
ton and other counties in this part of Mississippi.
The same reports of a Longino upheavel reach
Winston county, which seems, at this time to be at
least seventy-five per cent for Lcngino as Alfalfa,
Leake, Noxubee, Kemper, Choctaw, Scott, New
ton, Lauderdale and Neshoba. It is v~eritably a
Longino day at this time, and many people be-
lieve if the election were to come off now he would
easily be nominated in first primary.-Winston

What is Camouflage? Well, we went into a
swell cafe and ordered bean soup. The waiter
brought us a plate of lusterless liquid in a gold
bordered Haviland plate. Swimming in the cen
ter of the dish, enthroned in solitary grandeur,
was one lone bean.
We call that "camouflage."/
Camouflage is the "sick friend" stall you hand
your wife on a rainy eve when the boys are walt
ing for the extra hand at poker.
Camouflage is American money mainufactur-
ed in a dark celler by gentlemen of swarthy coun-
tenance who wear large round gold earrings and
corduroy trousers.
Camouflage is the decorative stuff that the
sweet old danes use on their physiognomies when
they decide to make one more stab at the mat
rimonial stakes.
Camouflage is that fancy windup of eight or
nine hundred nimble contortions that Hickville's
star pitcher unlocks when he gets ready to win
the game-and puts four balls across.
Camoufage is the guy with the large and
handsomely shaped voice and the big opinion
whose head is so empty that his brains rattle.
Camouflage is the wife's winning smile when
the spring styles hit Main Street and the old mar
is expected to shell out.
Camouflage is the wolf in Sleeps clothing
Camouflage is the song of the willy salesman
without a product of merit; the prize of the flat
terer; the prospectus of a fake gold mine pro
moter; the smile of a competitor; the big bushes:
without a profit; the box Office without the bal
ance on the right side of the ledger.
Cogitate on CamOuflage.
