WOMEN AS VOTERS.

Referring to Judge Miller's invi-
tation to attend the opening court
session the Port Gibson ReYeille con-
tanned the following:-
There are many reformers who are
looking to the women to improve the
moral conditions of our country By
their ballots, and Judge Miller be-
lieves that their presence in the court
room will do much in this direction.
If the fair sex go to court for that
purpose rather than to satisfy an idle
curiosity, their presence will NO
doubt be wholesome.
The fair voters-are expected to use
the franchise in the direction of re-
form, voting only for candidates
whose characters are above reproach
and who believe in law enforcement.
They are on trial, and men are al
ready discussing their probable attl-
tude. Some believe that the average
woman will vote with the male mem
bers of her family, but we believe a
majority Of them are going to exer-
else their own judgment in the mat
ter. Women are taking more inter
est in politics than many men, and
they are endeavoring to enlighten
themselves on political questions. II
they don't improve present condit-
ions we have been mistaken in our
estimate of the benefits to be derived
from woman suffrage.

CONSIDER THE PREACHER,

We are all of us little prone to
speak at times in disparaging
.erms of our home minister's efforts,
when we hear sermon that does not
bristle with ideas and shine with elo-
quence.
Unjustly we compare him with
some lecturer or noted divine we
may have heard once.
We give great praise to the lee
turer or preacher whom we hear
once in a year and who, perhaps,
spent years in preparing the lecture
lie delivers.
We do not stop to consider that
some preachers speak to the congre-
cation fifty or a hundred times in the
same year.
It is no small task to prepare one
good sermon. 1t you don't believe it
try, it. If you do, we are confident
you will see your minister in new
lignt, and have a much higher ap-
probation of his work.

a LITTLE ADVERTISING TALK.

The chances are that you, the per-
son reading this newspaper, want
some particular thing and would buy
1t IL yon-knew where to find it. And
the chances are that some other per-
son. in this community has that par
ticular thing and would sell it If he
could find a purchaser.
But you do not know that your
neighbor has that particular thing to
sell, and he does not know that you
want to buy it.. Unless you meet UP
with each other, you will never make
a trade.
That is where advertising come in.
If you will place an advertisement in
your local paper, telling of your
needs, your neighbor will read it. II
he will place an advertisement in the
paper telling of what he has to sell,
you will see it.
Several weeks ago one of The
Leaders friends had need of baby
buggy, and not caring to buy new
one, ne inserted small ad in the
personal column at a cost of 25 cents
Stating his desire to purchase a sec
ond-hand perambulator in good con-
dition. AS a result of this ad he had
the choice of eight or ten bargains,
from the little f1ivver style to the
stately limousine variety, and finally
bouglA one at saving Of almost for
ty dollars.
This is just one instance of many
that are happening every day from
lost articles recovered, spare rooms
rented, things that are not needed
sold. etc.
Many wants and needs go unified
many bargains are lost. because they
are not advertised and made known.
More people would use the advertis-
ing columns of the newspapers if
they would just stop and think of the
good they may derive from their use.

Henry Ford May Invest
In Louisiana Gas Field

Baton Rouge, La. Sept. 4.=Henry
Ford is going to enter the natural
gas fields Of Louisiana, Frank l.. Ne
vile, Of Houston, Tex. said to be
Henry Ford's representative is here to
confer with Governor Parker, and
the representatives Of the different
natural gas companies in the north
ern Louisiana fields.
1t was learned from the different
natural gas representatives of the
Monroe district that Ford wants to
get natural gas If the government ae-
cepts his oner for Muscle Shoals.
fhey said that Ford plans to move
most of his big plant from Detroit
Co Memphis.
1t was explained that Ford could
bring power from Muscle Shoals by
wire to Memphis easily and have nat
ufal gas pumped from the Monroe
delds to Memphis readily and that
Memphis being situated on the Mis-
sissippi river only few miles above
the mouth Of the Arkansas and really
the gateway Of the southwest. that
Ford would be able to place a great
Industrial plant there.
The conference with the governor
IS expected to develop something def
mite along the lines OF Ford's getting
control Of some Of the natural gas
wells in Louisiana but Ford's repre-
sentatives said that If the govern
ment does not accept Ford's offer for
Muscle shoals. The deal win be on.

there is indeed the change" Mrs. M.
Smith suggests all along the line.
AS for Judge Miller on opening

he did all possible and that the men

more arose at my approach but l

For an IDEAL.

"A man Who could have made hall
million, but refused to do SO be-
cause of an ideal should have oul
commendation."
That is what 3. H. Livermore
writes the Commercial Appeal in
handing in his contribution to the
York fund. Mr.. Livermore refers tc
York's persistent refusal to enter the
movies and make a fortune appear
ing as the hero of the world war
Sergt. York is in bad way, finan-
cially, but has declined to capitalize
the glory he achieved during the
war.
The Commercial Appeal is trying
to raise $4,000 to help pay off the
notes against the York farm in East
tennessee. The Nashville Rotary
Club bought the farm for Sergt. York
but $4,000 remains to be paid
If it is not paid York loses the farm
and, in the vernacular of the street
ne will be dead broke.''
Two weeks ago this paper an,
nounced that it would help to pay of
the debt by raising one-third of the
amount due. Since that time the
good people Of this section have con.
tributed over $500 to the fund. But
1t seems that interest is tagging. On.
ly one and two small donations ars
received each day, and while the
fund is growing steadily, it is not
growing as fast as it should.
Now, let's get busy and raise this
$4,000 and by SO doing show oul
appreciation of the York ideal referr
ed to by Mr.. Livermore, as we'll al
our appreciation for the marvellous
record made by the hero during thu
Ware -Commercial-Appeal.
