CANDIDATES STIRRING
UP COUNTY POLITICS
Several New Entries, Though Election
is Two Years on. Campaign Has
Started Earlier Than Almost Any
of the Past.


Local politics have opened unusual-
" early. Though the primary cleo
tion does not take place for two years,
there are number Of avowed can
didates for the county offices.
The latest tentative entries are for
three county and one district office.
Senator J. II. Barrett is mentioned
for sheriff, and there is strong prob
ability that he win be candidate.
Chaneery Clerk B. II. Morehead is al
so spoken Of as a candidate for that
Office, having about made up his mind
to enter the race. The. special dis
patch to the Reveille from Carlisle
states that Sidney Sorrels is also IN
the race. This would make
five candidates for this Office, ID v.
Herlong and A. A. Maddox having
announced in former issues Of the
Reveille their decision to run.
r. G. Lum Of the Third District is
the latest entry for the office Of chan
Gerry clerk, the Reveille having learned
that he is full fedged candidate. ].
M. Magruder, it will be remembered.
announced his candidacy about two
weeks ago.
G. A. Taylor Of the Fourth District
authorizes the use of his name in con-
nection with the Office of assessor, to
which position he will aspire when the
the campaign really opens. He will
be opposed by two candidates, JOS
eph Davenport and G. B. Flowers,
whose names have already been pub
lished as avowed candidates.
Mrs. Cornelia f. Drexler, a county
teacher, state that she will be q can
didate for superintendent Of educa-
ton. There are two other candidates
for this office, Lamar M. Trevilion and
the present encumbent G.. A. McAmis.
w. L. Allen seems to be the only
candidate SO far for circuit clerk. 1t
was rumored that he would enter the
race for chancery clerk, but he de-
sires reelection to the Office he now
fills.
DR.. 7. T. Bailey Of Port Gibson IN
forms the Reveille that he will offer
for treasurer. He will be opposed
for this Office by G. F. Wheeless and
possibly Mrs. J. A. Bolls and another
Port. Gibson woman.
d. J. Taylor Of the Second District
has about decided that he will be
candidate for supervisor from that
district There have been no further
announcements in any of the districts
for this important Office.
This is a pretty large list of candi-
dates this early in the political game,
and if the list continues to grow pro-
portionately, we viii have to vote for
each other. However, the senior edi-
tor Of the Reveille promises that he
will give his place TO some one else,
and poll of the Office force convinces
us that the Reveille win not even be
represented on the primary ticket.

unwise conduct Of the men who were
charged with the responsibility Of
railroad management l doubt If any
one believes that our attempt at reg
ulation can be called complete sue
cess.
Then in 1917, when the war came
on we took them over and undertook
70 operate the railroads, | believe
the men who were put in charge by
the president were Just as capable as
any men who can ever be found here
after should we ever 60 to govern
naent ownership.
think we viii all agree that we
made more or less of d mess Of it.
Rates were raised, both passenger
and freight, the operating expenses
OF the roads tremendously increased,
the equipment permitted to deterior-
ate, and instead Of adding new and
permanent improvements which
would make the practice of many
economics possible we actually re-
turned 10000 cars less than we took
over. During the last six months Of
government operation, operating ex-
penses were increased $2,720,00 a
day During the very last month Of
government operation, our operating
expenses exceeded receipts $27O,0O0
a day.
Prior to 1910 the roads were
building five thousand miles Of adj
ditional road annually. Since 1917
we have actually taken up and aban-
doned more miles than we have con-
structed. The story in all countries
under government ownership is about
the same. The privately owned and
operated Canadian Pacific was the
only road in Canada last year that
made a dividend, while government
owned road running parallel with it
across the continent lost one hundred
and forty million dollars"

CONGRESSMAN HUMPHREYS
ON GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

In an address delivered at Drew,
yesterday, Congressman B. G. Hum
phreys had this to say regarding gov
ernment ownership Of railroads:
I'm the years succeeding the Civil
War railroad construction went for
ward by leaps and bounds. A great
empire inaccessibly by the natural
arteries of commerce was developed
beyond the imagination of the dream
ers of the early days, We had the
best railroad service in the world
Not only the best service but the
cheapest rates and the service was
growing better and the rates were
steadily diminishing Unfortunately
for the railroads and unfortunately
for us all, the great men, and they
were great men, geniuses in their
way, who were attracted to this field
of endeavor by reason Of the great
and almost lifnitless possibilities
which it offered, unfortunately / say
for us all, like the rest Of flesh, de-
spite their wonderful gifts, they were
short-sighted. There was no preju-
dice against the railroads in those
days. Everybody in fact was preju-
Iced in their favor; every community
wanted one.
II remember when I was a very
young man how the people of Mis-
sissippi with one voice chose Cen
eral Walthal, then the chief counsel
for the Illinois Central Railroad, as
our representative in the United
States senate, and the press Of the
state very generally at the time in
sisted that he should retain that at
torneyship although United States
senator.
But these railroad magnates for
getting their obligations to the pub
lie, forgetting that they were in fact
great public servants, and forgetting
that in this land of liberty every man
is entitled to a square deal, and that
the public would not long submit to
any infraction of that rule began to
play faVorites. This town would be
given preferential rates over another
town and when the law required that
uniform rates should be charged and
those rates be published they evaded
it by giving favorite shippers secret
rebates which were withheld from
their competitors. Stocks were
watercd and in order to forestalI any
Legislation which would check these
harmful practices the railroads fire.

sible political activities.
when the rights Of the average
citizen were infringed, although the
facts might be incontrovertible, they
would settle with no man, pay nc
claim excpnf at fho end nf uceieSe
expensive, and patience-trying litiga-
tion. The result was that public
goodwill was turned into public pref.
udice. Congress, which is the most
truly representative body in the
world responding to the public opin.
ion Of the country, began to legislate
and the prejudice Of the public was
somewhat reflected in the act. This
was natural; in fact inevitable, and
was due primarily If not solely to the

coQUETTE SET NEW FASHION
Fsycriss OF French Monarch Rsspen-
sibIe for colffure Which Became
Universal Style.

Styles have had queer origins. and
none more unique than the fontagne.
a spie OF hair dressing popular Ia the
early part OF the eighteenth century.
The dressing consisted largely OF do
Ing the hair high and binding IL In
place with a jeweled illet or ribbon.
Al one time IL Was worn by every lady
IN the court OF Louis XIV, and from
there II spread TO all parts OF the civ
ilized world where fashion relped.
The manner OF ats origin Is THIS;
The king Went for ride one morn
ing with Mile. de Fontagne. lovely
girl with whom the king was madly In
love. and who Was not cold 20 his adj
yanees. In fact she shortly took her
place as his fayoriie. As they rode.
her hair came tumbllns down. and
there Is reason TO believe the lille com
edy that followed had heen staged In
IN advance. even 10 the loosening OF
the pins that allowed her beautiful
tresses 10 escape. Al any rate. the
lady slipped from her horse. aud with
a laugh lifted her skirts and took on
a jeweled garter which she bound
around her hastily replied hair. The
king was delighted with the by-play.
and upon arriving at the palace an
nounced the mode the most becoming
In the world. Within ~ hours every
coquette and mstron In the court had
adopted the fashion.
