For many years this country
has been flooded with fake Or
shady concerns in which stock
has been sold to a gullible public,
generally to the small investor
who can i'll afford to lose his saw
ings. Since the supreme court
has ruled that incomes from
stocks are not subject to taxa
ton it is possible that many
more of these fakes will spring
into existence, on the theory
that the public will rush to place
its surplus funds in stocks.
fthis be the case people of our
community should apply the acid
test to any stock certificate of
fered them before parting with
a dollar of their hard earned
money. The fakir is a man with
a smooth tongue, and he knows
only too we'll how to use it.

If Stops Then.

In the western part of Brown
countya farmer has found plan
to keep autoists from speeding by
his home. Last summer several
of his chickens were killed by
automobiles, and when one of
his pigs, weighing almost 100
pounds, was crushed under the
wheels of an auto, he decided it
was time to do something to
stop them. He did. He dug small
bitches, one foot wide and eight
inches deep, across the road
about ten feet apart, and this
plan proved successful. He says
that after a machine going at
S5 miles an hour strikes one of
these bitches and the occupants
of the machine are almost
thrown out. the machine always
slows down to a very slow gait.

erno- Russell, ex-Senator Vardaman and
 ex-Governor Bilbo were in the saddle and rode rough-shod over the small mi nority of friends of those three worthies. but there was nothing secret about 1t. | They had the numbers and used their power-just as Russell would have done
 had he been handling the convention | reins-just as Vardaman or Bilbo would
 have done, but their efforts to arouse
 sympathy by raising their threadbare old cry of secret caucus methods will not
 win again. With that shillalah Yarda-
 man went to the United states Senate on
 the back of the negro, Bilbro was elected l lieutenant governor and four years later l into the governors office, but that big stick has been broken.
 Two or three years ago Vardan1an tried to get back to the Senate for second term on that spiteful, demagogical cry, but Pat Harrison beat the stuffin out of
 him. Governor Blbo was everlastingly walloped for Congress in his home dis trict at the same time by an unknown man, and yet neither of them seems to know they are politically dead. Their records killed them; their appeals to pas sion and prejudice engendered because CT the so-called secret caucus" methods sursued to defeat Vardaman for the sen ate several years before were of no avail, and it is not believed the people of the state will ever again follow their leader ship-even if they did elect Russell one of their number, governor last year. Ihat election, or rather Russelfs victory, was due largely to the campaign Oscar John ston. his opponent, made against very popular measure Russell favored-the state tax commission law, which IS fore- ing tax dodgers to toe the mark-ahd not to Russells appeals to secret caucus prejudices.
 Two days after the state convention Governor Russell gave out statement in the course of which he said:
 "Our state has never witnessed sucn a spectacle as that staged at Jackson Wednesday, June 16 since the days Of the infamous secret caucus of 1910. Let me impress you first with the fact that all of those who participated in the beat con ventions and county conventions for the selection of delegates that met here, the entire participants in all these did not amount to , per cent of the quallfied voters of the state. Tn fact the rem nants of that old, decayed, disgusting and thoroughly repudiated minority crowd who controlled that conventioli' controlled this one.
 This convention threw all precedent to the winds-it was a knock-down and drag-out affair Propriety, courtesy, GUS tom and all that they laid carefully aside.
 stPossibly it may be said that l have A sore toe because I was not elected delegate to the convention. This is un- true. The action of this convention has aided me politely to the tune of thou sands of votes if shall ever run for of- flee again. When this convention saw II.

 sleeping in beauty, whether visited by sunshine or moonlight.
 The longer the stay in Adrianople, the more the charm of this beauty grows, d Icharm that is as great afoot as aloft. Adrianople is city that has the tone of country friendship about it, not un- like a county seat of the south. The center of the agricultural exchange busi- ness of eastern and western Thrace, it IS frequented by peasants and traders or Turkish, Greek, Bulgarian, Jewish and
 Armenian nationalities. There is record
 of but one American< ever having done business in the city, and he came there
 from Paris and bought up all the brooms.
 While no day knows what the next may
 bring forth in the way of political strife
 and crime, today the city preserves this

ADR|ANOPLE STILL CHARMING CITY IN
 SPITE OF THE WAR
From Airplane or at Close Range It is One of the Most Beautiful In

By Associated Press

Adrinople. Thrace. May 22.-The dec adence of the two centuries, present po- litical and economic disintegration, wars without, end, and an uncertain future have been unable to destroy the intef- fable charm the Turks originally gave to this city of eighty thousand souls. Adranople is still a holy city In faith and in appearance. Romance still abides here.
 The Orient is the only place left to Europe where cities seen at close range are beautiful remarked Jules Sebotin, a French aviator, while visiting the most beautiful of all mosques Sinan's master piece here the mosque of thousand win dows but one, erected at the order of Sultan Selim II, in the sixteenth cen- tury.

to throw down custom, precedent and the
 recognized and established rule of the democratic party of this state and left
 me at home, they used a method that
 is no better, and entitled to no more respect than that of the gangster qua
 ward heeler politicians throughout the corrupt cities of the land-but they did
 it; the people shall know it. and in due time at the polls this repudiated minor ity will be shown where Tony hid the wedge
 Tt may be said and argued in their defense that l was not in accord with the democratic party. Replying in ad- vance to this let me say this exact charge was an issue in the last campaign where in column after column of villainous in- situations, charges and wilful lies wers published against me, and by word ot mouth the same charges were scattered everywhere, yet the people by vote ot 77,453 as against 6S,531 for my opponent gave this the emphatic lie.''
 And yet in spite of all this abuse and villfication of the democratic state con vention, Governor Russell declares that he has no sore toe" The opposition IS coming back at him with remiders that it is the Init dog that howls,' and the chances are that the two democratic fac tions in Mississippi will never get back together until one or the other is whipped to a frazzle and forced to. cry for quar- ter.
 Governor Russell was defeated for dele gate to the national convention for the simple reason that he is known to be a friend and supporter of Vardaman, and democracy has not only been questioned, but sentiment was so strong that he was /repudiated at the polls when he asked for re-eelction to the Senate.
 It is stated that ex-Governor Bilbo has cut loose from Vardaman, and he is au- thority for the statement that he is candidate for the Senate against Varda- man or any other man who dares ask for the seat to be vacated by John Sharp Williams at the end of his present term two or three years hence, and one thing is certain-Bilbo has always stood shoulder to shoulder with President Will son, and his Americanism and democracy has never been questioned

 gentility with pride and calm. Here there are none of the fallen houses and dusty streets which chars terize the majority cf the cities of Asia Minor.
 Any cay the city may surprise the world by tremendous massacre, but
 meanwhile it's life goes on as smoothly as the flow of the rivers.
 Undoubtedly the life of Adrianople is fraught with that deep mystery whicn
 seems to cling inevitably to the sinful
 idle, sleepy orient but of this mystery the stranger sees only the charm. Prayers are called from the minarets, as of old; also the old and new bazaars

 Governor Russell declares that he has no sore toe, but his political enemies are decidedly of the opinion his toes are all sore, his heels bistered and the bottom of his feet raw as uncooked beef The governor was defeated for delegate at large to the national convention by Con- gressman Ben Humphreys by about fifty votes, and was no doubt badly disap- pointed.
 It has been suggested that in view of the fact Mississippi had for many years been sending her governor as one of the "big four' delegates, it was nothing but right and proper the present governor should be thus honored, no matter if he did happen to be personna non grata with four-fifths of the delegates to the state convention.
