v. ". ELLIOTT ELECTED
MAYOR OF OXFORD
Vote To Reduce Salaries of City OH
Gals Carried BY Big Majority.
Many Women Vote For The
First Time In History of
Mississippi.


Much interest was manifested in
the election Friday inasmuch as
this is the first time in the history OF
the state that women participated IN
an election.
1t was a special election to select
a mayor to fill the unexpired term OF
mr.. Z. Z. Temple, who resigned tae
mayorship the first of the month to
accept a position as United States
deputy marshal.
There were three candidates in the
race for mayor, as follows; r. S. Adj
ans, t. A. Dunn, w. w. Elliott,
Friends of the candidates were busy
an day in the interest of tehir choice
for mayor
THE yOTE-For Mayor.
r. S. Adams, rs.
T. A. Dunn, 81.
Il w. w. Elliott, 128.
For Reducing Salaries.
For reducing salary of the mayor
of Oxford to $50 per month, ITO;
against the reduction, AZ.
For reducing the salary of the city
clerk to $50 per .aontl, 81; against
the reduction, 53.
For reducing the salary of marshal
and street commissioner to $50 per
month, 161; against the reduction, DO.
Few voters knew when they went to
the polls That they were to vote
on the reduction of the salaries OF the
city officials, as it seems that the plan
was Matched up over night and placed
on the ticket in order to get true
sentiment of the people with reference
to retrenching. The people are in
favor, as will be seen by the vote, of
d more economical government.
AS to the legality of the election,
some express doubt as to any part of
it being legal, and doubts have been
expressed as to whether a commission
would be issued the mayor-elect, IN
the face of the fact that ts1e Governor
has already issued one commission to
the mayor of Oxford, and that there
would be some inconsistency in COM
missidniag two men to serve as may
or.
The muddie continues, and it seems
that the farther it goes the more
predetermined it becomes.
The custer proceedings were to
i1ave been heard yesterday at Corinth,
but the judge at that place notified
the litigants of the Oxford affair that
he had special venira for that day
and that their matter would be heard
one day next week in Tupelo.

FARM BUREAU SELLS
MUCH COTTON FRIDAY
The Lafayette County Farm
Bureau Begins To
Function.

The cotton sale put on by the La
feyette County Farm Bureau was a
success in the highest sense. Seven
out Of town cotton buyers were here
also one cotton spinner. b. vrs came
from Memphis, New Orleans, and the
result was that over 600 bales of cot
ton were sold by the farm bureau at
from IL to 14.75 cents per pound.
When this cotton sale was started
cotton was selling on the streets OF
Oxford at from 6 to 8 cents per pound.
The best was only bringing 8 cents.
The New Orleans and New York mar
ket was about tle same then as now
and not with standing this fact cot
ton jumped as soon as the cotton clas-
ser reached Oxford and continued I'M
til the day the sale was pulled: local
buyers were paying as. high as Is
cents per pound oh the streets of Ok
ford.
Every farmer in Lafayette County
should consider the enormity of tais
movement. Six hundred and fifty
bales were sold. The check for this
cotton amounted to about S40,000.00.
The cotton sale put on by the Farm
Bureau raised the price of this cotton
at least one third. II other words the
Lafayette County Farm Bureau has
saved the farmers of the County $l5,-
10000 in the first two weeks of its
existence. But this is only a part Of
the story. This $50 bales represents
only about half Of the cotton that was
sold on the advanced price brought
about by the Farm Bureau and when
you add these two together it should
be an unansweruble argument to
every farmer in this county in behalf
of this organization. just last week
this institution raised the price Of cot
ton seed $500 per ton and saved the
farmers $401 on seed shipped in two
days.
They are now securing orders for
.oat seed, lespedezer seed and Rice.
They can deliver good rice at 5 cents
pr pound and rice bran at rs cents per
hundred pounds and, by the way rice
bran has nearly the same feeding

Who can doubt that she will after witnessing the wonderful almost undreamed of-accomplish- ments during the world war?
 America has expended s4OO0,o00 900 to make a place for herself upon the seas, and has made that place, and will undertake earnestly to retain it, as there is sufficient commerce for all the nations to thrive upon.
 Tt should not be forgotten that the ruthless enemy practically wiped out a good part of the most efficient type of our overseas shipping If America had not by it's shipbuilding made up for this lack in world ship ping ocean rates would be soaring to. day.
 'I, for one. am optimistic as to the future of the American Merchant Mar inc. The shipping of the entire world is now in a period of depression, but I believe that within a short time we shall see a turn for the better; in fact even now there are indications of a revival.
 We are now ship independent. and we must, and we will strive to main. tain that independence"
