EDITORIAL

The school season has now opened
all over Mississippi and those whose
business it is to teach the young
idea to shoot" are busy at that oc-
cupation and the long grind is on
till spring brings vacation once
more. Its a responsible thing,
teaching the rudiments oi education
to generation and we trust that
those in whose hands rest this re-
sponsible task will have a. favorable
season free from epidemics and 9th
err hindering causes and make a
showing of marked progress with
their pupils ere the terms work is
done.

Carthage Carthagen!an.
We note from some of our exchan-
ges that circuit clerks have been
carrying the registration books TO
picnics and public gatherings for
the purpose of giving women an OPP
portunity to register without max
ling a trip to the court house Inc
attorney general has been asked as
to the legality of this practice and
advised that the law does not permit
county registrars to take reglstra
ton books from the office at TINS
time; that registration dates should
be announced and the registering
done not later than four months be-
fore the general election.

5 The Simpson County News, which
is sent forth from Mendenhal, the
capital of such county. has been max
ing visits to our exchange table late
ly after an absence of years. We
notice that the name OF A. L. Russell
no longer is elevated at its mast
head as editor. but S. D. Burton is
written down in that capacity and
by the way he Yields forceful pen
and incidentally is putting in some
hard blows in behalf of Vardaman
for the U, S. Senate. The number
of newspapers which IN some way or
other are coming to support Varda-
man is growing all along now, just
as prominent men are falling in line
steadily and endorsing bis candidacy
and men who did not support him
before but who are shrewd enough
TO tell this far off after seeming the
breeze which way the wind is blow
ing.

Objects to Haggling The President Even
II He Is A Republican.

Atmore {Ala.) Record.
Party loyalty is all right, but the
Democrats ought not to try to ham,
per the President in any measure
that is for the good OF the country
as whole. President Harding,
though Republican, seems to be
doing his best, and shows an honest
desire to serve the country to the
best of his ability, and in every step
that he takes towards bringing about
a REIMBURSEMENT, should be ably
seconded by all the men in congress,
whethe they be Democrats or Re-
publicans.

N. o. Christian Advocate.
Long speeches. long sermons long
articles in IN the newspapers-even
long editorials are not very much
in favor today. Maybe they ought
to be, but they are not. People will
listen little while and lose interest
IN what is being said; they will read
a few lines-and begin to think
about something else. Not every
body is guilty, of course; the faithful
few will listen to the end and read
the last line. But the average citizen
has affairs of his own in which he is
intensely interested and the speaker
or writer who would win his active
attention to an outside proposition
must State it clearly, forclbly and
briefly: that IS to say, bis chances o.
success are greatly increased by SC
doing. Too many of us still seem tc
think we shall be or ought to be
heard for our much speaking.

Looking towards Economy In County
Government.

Dawn OF Light, Walnut Grove.
We think it will be good idea to
call mass meeting at Carthage for
the purpose OF cutting down the ex-
penses of our county. We thlnk
good deal of pruning can be done
and bear much better fruit. If we
dontdo something it will not be long
before the majority of the people will
get nothing but the core. Some
thing must be done, and the sooner
the better. If you think every
thing is just right, keep your mouth
shut, but if YOU think we ought to
practice little more economy, let
us hear from you and tell us the best
way to start.

Up in the eighth circuit court
judicial district, A, j. McLaurin, Jr.
recently resigned in order to enter
into private practice OF law at jack
son and it has at once created a live
ly bit of politics up that way. The
counties of Newton. Neshoba and
others are involved and already there
are three fullfledged candidates in the
field seeking the judgeship vacancy

held. Mississipp's tranquility on
the political line seldom runs long as
something will turn up like this to
break into it even in off campaign

Democrat.

Senatobia Democrat.
Some people are inclined to be
very critical of our public officials
but it doesn't always produce the
best results. Men are men the
world over, and they are inclined
to exhibit stubborn streak when
when some other fellow takes it in
to his head to administer kick. A
quiet talk face to face is readily un-
derstood by both parties, and II
there any differences OF opinion
there is an opportunity to come to
an amicable understanding. When
we see anything in this town that
isn't just as it should be it is our
equal right to expect that we will
talk to them instead of about them.
1t is the better way.

TRIP TO HEALING SPRINGS. ALA.
BY JAMES FAULK.

For a score and more of years this
writer has been hearing of the cura-
tive powers of Healing Springs, Ala.
and seeing and learning of people
going there 10 drink the healing
waters but not till last week has IT.
been our pleasure to have ever visit
ed these springs.
Gu Tuesday September 9th. we
rolled out of LeakesviIle For Healing
Springs in company with Fl. p.
Smith who had dubbed in with me
to hire car as Hardy was wanting
to get cross to Millry, Ala, and
catch train on the Tombigbee Val
lev (the Cochran road) North to get
into Choctaw County in our sister
state to do some appraising for Fed
eral Farm Loan Organizations, at
which he works at intervals as the
Federal Farm district Bank in New
Orleans sends him the assignments.
Charley Box was at the steering
wheel OF the Ford which ran us over
there so glibIy and Charley drives
smoo lilly and we'll and gets the miles
off steadily.
Passing up we got q good many
bumps getting out of the district
one territory, for while they have
good highways thrown up they are
rough in places from lack OF drag
ging or other smoothing over ac-
count of the exhaustion OF funds
stopping the work for sometime.
District npmber two, which is in the
State Line zone, showed better roads
as they have an active crew at work
that is doing excellent work too.
Their plan is admirable in that thew
not only put up good road-bed but
they make it literally wide and are
careful to keep it smoothed over and
we'll drained with right angle lateral
bitches at places to tap off the over
| flow on hiilsides from the side ditch
es. We ran over and killed pretty
good sized coach whip snake taking
a sun-bath that morning on one OF
those bridges up in that section.
Crossing the railroad at State
Line we made eastward and north
by turns. Their roads for number
of miles were narrow and poorly
worked. But better than the old
buggy traces of yore. Bslore VT
got quite into Millrv, we struck a
pretty good highway where the road
widened out and showed recent evil
dence of blowing up and leveillnp
over and sde-ditchlng. We passed
the village of Copeland where there
are few houses, farms and store
and gin etc. Then on we sped to
wards Millry where we rolled up just
in time to get Hard aboard train.
Then Charley turns and we retraceo
short distance the road we had tt
come 10 to Nilry and took fork of
from it which leads us to healing
after running about a mile or more

Delta Paper Says Cotton Crop woefuIIy
Short.

Leland Enterprise.
The cotton crop has deterfated
during the past three weeks at least
one third. Che ravages of the boil
weevil and the hot dry winds has
been the cause. And II the planters
make average OF a bale to tour acres
they will do we'll. 1t seems the de-
tOriation has not been confined to
the Delta, but from what we see in
the daily papers it extends over the
entire cotton belt. The crop of cot
ton this year will be one of the small
est ever raised in the south and the
price of the staple should bring
higher price than has been expected.
But the crop of corn has been doub-
led II the planter does not have to
purchase corn and hay it may not
prove bad year in the long run.
