GOODS MADE OF
LOCAL COTTON
Chamber of Commerce Receives Elev
en- Bolts Goods Manufactured
From Greenwood Product.

The following letter was received
from Mr.. w. M. Drake, of w. M.
Drake & Co., through their Greenwood
Office, April 9th.
Mr.. F. Herr, Secretary, Chamber of
Commerce, Greenwood, Miss:
Dear Sir:
I am sending to you today, some
cotton goods which were manufacture
ed from Greenwood Extra Staple Cot
ton, by the Potomska Mills Corpora
tion of New Bedford, Mass. These
goods are presented to the Greenwood
Chamber of Commerce with the COM
pliments of Mr.. William o. Devoll,
Treasurer of the Potomska Mills Cor
poration, through Mr.. w. M. Drake.
Yours truly,
w. M. DRAKE & co.
Accompanying the letter was a case
containing eleven bolts of the highest
grade and most beautiful cotton goods
ever seen. 1t is impossible for a mere
description to do it justice, or convey
any lued Vi tIc Dcduty anu VI
the goods. The Chamber of Commerce
will make some arrangements for pro-
perly displaying the goods as soon as
suitable case can be secured. 1t
would like every person in the Delta
to see these goods. In fact, every
person in Mississippi, and to come as
near as possible to giving them an
opportunity to do so, it will see that
they are properly exhibited at the
next state fair, and the Memphis Tri-
State Fair.
The Chamber of Commerce, and ev-
cry citizen of Greenwood and Leflore
County, will deeply appreciate this
gracious act on the part of the Poto-
mska Mills Corporation, and Mr..

Dissatisfaction with the delay in

leaders say eve have here more than
we need to transact the business of
the country, yet congressman also
recognize that 1--WE have the smallest
popular House in any enlightened ma
ton on earth. For example, the
House of Commons has 709 members,
but it takes only 40 to constitute
quorum while the United States
House cannot change the number con-
stituting a quorum except by Consti-
tutional amendment. The British
House of Commons has seating cap
acity of only little over $50, be-
cause the members seldom come in
full force.
Belgium with a population of T.
423 784 has one represe1tctiEH for
each 100000 persons or 18G. France
has "a population of 3o,602 2o3 with
6O2 members in the Chamber of De-
puties, each representing 65 $50 per-
sons. Greece has q representative

held at Malmaison. Five hundred and
forty five children and grown people
left this morning at 9 o'clock on the
Southern train and nufbers of others
made the trip through the country in
motor cars.
The historic old place affords spl-
endid grounds for such an outing and
nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day.
There was an abundance of good
things to eat, with plenty of ice
cream and lemonade TO rdesert.

rope, the WorK mas been postponed
Champ Clark favors the tearing out
of the wall behind the Speakers desk,
doing away with the Speakers lob
by" where the newspaper men inter-
view the Congressman and carrying
the House chamber through to the
outer wall thus getting direct fresh
air into the hall of the House, which
is now a room within a room. The
proposals for architectural or struct-
ural changes also include enlargement
of the galleries.
Sentiment has been repeatedly ex-
,ressed in Congress against the decen-
NAL increase in size of the House, but
local interests have always been sue
cessful in outvoting the better judg-
ment of the leaders in both parties.
Ten years ago the fight was led by
Senators Elihu Root of New York
protested vigorously against the in
crease from 391. Senator Burton then
asserted that 'the larger the size Of
the House, the greater the disposi-
tion to assert local interests and to
increase the size of the pork barrel,
Champ Clark now says: Il do not
have any doubt about what ought to
be done about the size of the House.
It is too big. There ought to be a
constitutional amendment passed fix
ing the number of members at 300, or
thereabouts, and keeping it there" :"
This sentiment was vigorously ap-
plauded, showing that the members as
a whole realize that the membership
is altogether too large for business
like procedure Representative Philip
Campbell of Kansas, chairman of the
rules committe which passes on all
resolutions, endorsed this sentiment
and recalled that 10 years ago he in
itiated movement to have the House
membership restricted to 225.
Representative Simeon D. Fess, Of
Ohio, chairman of the republican con-
gressional campaign committee, also
agreed with Mr.. Clark that "the solu-
ton is to fix the number in the Con-
stitution otherwise we will have this
matter argued every 10 years.
Reduction in the number of. House
members with constantly growing
population would mean that the mem
bers of Congress would have districts,
with more constituents to care for,
and somewhat more patronage.
In discussing this matter of Con-
gressional reapportionment, Champ
Clark brought this thought to the at
tention of his colleagues: "The last
time the membership was increased
a., and one of the strangest facts in
history was that the great agricul-
tural states of Arkansas, Indiana.
Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississ-
ippi, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska
never gained enough population under
that census to get any of the new
