(Ky) recently Senator Pat Harrison
of Mississippi declared the Demo

and the principles for which Wood
row Wilson fought vindicated"
Mr.. Harrison spoke at the request
of Urey Woodson, publisher and for
mer member and secretary of the
Democratic National Committee.
II attended a meeting of the
Democratic National Committee in
st. Louis, said the Senator. "The
meeting was one of the most har-
monious ever experienced by the
Democrats. Every one in attendance
worked with one object in view
harmony-and they got it. The sell
ection of Cordell Hull as national
chairman met with the approval of
every Democrat in attendance at the
meeting. The Democrats are mill
tant. They will present a united
front from now until the national
election in 1924. They see victory
in the air, and the nation will yet
see the principles for which Wood
row Wilson fought vindicated."

Coast Crop Growing by Boys High.

Officials of the Perkinston Agri-
cultural High School are planning
one of the biggest campaigns in
agriculture ever offered the boys of
Harrison or Stone counties in con-
nection with the curriculum of the
school. There are on the cast, Thos.
/. Cook, general superintendent and
R. NJ. Coaman, practical instructor,
who are making liberal offers to the
boys to attend this institution. The
plan is to give each boy in Harrison

one and one-half acres of land, fur
nish feed and fertilizer to plant it in
sweet potatoes, the crop of which
will be marketed and the proceeds
allowed to pay his expenses while
attending school. The campaign is
being carried on through local public
schools and has been approved by
coast educators.
