done will be of great benefit to the
world"

SHIPS CAR TUBERS.
COpiah County Sweets Bring Fan
cy Price $1.65 Bushel.

C. c. Bearden county farm agent
Of Copiah county, shipped a solid
carload of sweet potatoes of the
Nancy Hall variety to northern
markets this week, where he OBJ
tanned the fancy price of $1.65 per
bushel, the farmers shipping their
individual amounts conjunctively.
These cooperative shipments
bring the producers every cent the
produce will bring, for no profits
go to middle men. Thousands of
bushels of these potatoes are yet
to be shipped from Hazlehurst as
fast as cars can be obtained, to
hauld them in. It is estimated
this coming season there will be
100000 bushels of potatoes grown
in that county, since so MANY
farmers have abandoned cotton
for more paying crops. Through
the efforts of the Farmers Bu-
re'au, recently organized at Bran
don by County Agent Burks, it is
hoped that we will have drying
house by next fall, and our farm
ers will be assured of the same
advantages that other farmers are
enjoying where these curing
plants are in operation.

MARRIED A FAMILY.
Bride Brought Seven Children
Along from Coast Unexpectedly.

It was mighty lonesome for A.
d. Bentz, a prosperous farmer,
who lives near Wiggens. There
was no smiling visage to gaze on
Ger the morning coffee; there
was no gentle housewife to darn
those worn hose; nobody to fry
the eggs as they should be fried,
and nobody to sit around and in
stall the S'homey" spirit into the
old farmhouse. Bentz was bach
elor.

just as happy all alone here as

of publications. He received sew

task of selecting was difficult
one, but Bentz finally picked his
future helpmate. He wrote her to
come along.
Monday the future Mrs. Bentz
arrived. She came all the way
from Montana. Her seven chill
dren were with her.
Bentz did not faint. On the
contrary he declared perfect will
.ingness to 60 through with the
contract, and the entire party
journeyed to the coast, where the
marriage took place.
1t was no longer lonely around

ASK WHITFIELD TO RUN.
Friends Petition Educator to Seek
The GOvernOrship.

If there is such thing as the
people of Mississippi ealing a man
to the service of the state as it's
executive, or rather to the candi-
dacy for that high and exalted
position, that man will be the Hon.
Henry L. Whitfield, former presi-
dent of the Mississippi State Col
lage for Women and nationally
known educator.
This is the situation, if letters
coming to Mr.. Whitfield from all
sections of the state and personal
solicitation of friends in Column
bus and this entire section may be
taken as an index to the situation.
While he has issued no statement,
it is the belief of Mr.. Whitfeld's
friends that he will make the race
if he is sufficiently urged.
Mr. Whitfield is a man of large
experience in public life and he is
probably more conversant and
more intimately in touch with con-
ditions in Mississippi than any
other one man. He is familiar
with the problems of the agricul-
tural interests Of the state of the

THE WOMEN ALSO PAY.
Privilege of Voting Costly to Fail
Sex in Mississippi.

Woman suffrage has it's bur-
dens as well as its privileges, one
of which is to pay taxes the same
as men. Next year the Golfers of
the towns and road districts will
be swollen with tax money paid
in by the gentler sex, but this time
they will have no voice in the ex-
penditures, as they will not have
an opportunity to vote in any
town election until 1922, and
county elections before 1928.
In towns the ladies will be as
sessed with street tax and in the
country they viii have the pleas
ure of contributing SIS each year
to the Communication road tax fund.
In Rankin county there are a.
bout $500 registered male voters,
and with the addition of the la
dies the number will be augmented
to about 1000.
There's going to be some doin's
when they all get to voting.

We have yet to hear a man in
this county say that he is discour-
aged to the extent that he intends
to throw up his hands and give up
the game. On the other hand the
prevailing spirit with our people
is to go ahead and make winning
fight, despite the hard times. We
have the resources at our COM
mand, so there is no such thing as
failure, provided our people put
forth the necessary efforts and
work on a economical plan. The
trouble was that prices were high
last spring when the crops were
being put in and necessarily our
farmers expected to receive high
prices for their products, so they
were not as careful with expendi-
lures as they might have been.
Conditions are different at this
time, however, and success is GER
tain to be with us next fall.-Ex.

Relatess Farm Experience.

William H. Hughes, a success
full farmer living in Yalabusha
county, relates an interesting sto-
ry in regard to some of his expe-
rimental farming last year on one
and quarter acres of land, show
ing the total productions, which
follows:
Seventy-nina and one-half bush
els of corn, 20 bushels of velvet
beans, 35 bushels of sweet pota-
toess and eight bushels of Irish
potatoes. Mr.. Hughes thinks from
last years experience that he will
be able to do much better on the
same land than he did last year.
He says, while it is little tedious,
it is worth the time given to the
work. He would advise all farm
ers to experiment more, with the
view to scientific farming, which
he thinks pays largely for the eff
fort. The supreme idea of a far
mer should be to make more pro-
duce on fewer acres, instead Of
more acres and less produce,
which has been the custom of most
Of our farmers.

BROKEN STILL ILLEGAL.
Descending Apparatus Does Not
Evade Prohibition Law.

Two negroes, of Lafayette coun-

grand jury in the sum of $500 each
on charges Of violating the prohi-

According to the officers, there
was found five gallons Of whisky
and $50 gallons of mash in pos
session Of the defendants. Two
stills, the parts of which were con-
cealed in various places about the
premises of the accused, also were
found. It appears the impression
has gone out that unless the still
is actually set up and working, or
ready to work, that there is no
