"AwS"
Perfumes

CTRAICETT from the Rue de
y la Paix these fragrant wares
have come to us-each one
dressed in a dainty vial or con-
tainer and labeled with a soft
French name.
This great perfumer is a master
of his art, and he has given us,
in extracts. powders, t toilet
waters and soaps, delicate
scents which are mysterious
and Oriental, elusive and
sweet in quality, fragrances
which, when they fade, lose
none of their perfection, but
hold to the last the sweet,
faint odor with which they
were first endowed.
In our Imported Perfume Sec
ton there are many "Arys"
products in tall. slender walls,
Squatty little juglike bottles, and
containers of silk and glass.
Each one is as perfect as a master
perfumer can make it, and as
lovely as the most fastidious taste
could desire.
Our prices on all these per-
fumes are unusually lou.

The Number Of automobiles IN The state.

Information sent out from the
State Auditors office at Jackson,
Miss, reveals the fact that there
are "a, ia automobiles in Mississippi
and 800 dealers. OF this number OF
automobiles the following is list as
it shows in this and some other
counties to give an idea of the aver
ages by size OF counties:
GREENE County 407 Wayne 273
George COUNTY 237 Forrest 14O6
Lauderdale 1875 Clarke 468
From the above it can be seen that
Greene County has more autos than
counties above it IN size and popu-
lation. WAYNE for instance Is both
a bigger and more populous county
and lacks 134 of having as many as
Greene and Clarke which is larger
still has but 81 more than Greene.
And Greene can measure prosperity
proportionateiy with any OF them
and make a good showing for her
self. Let it be remembered that a
great many of these cars are used IN
a partial way for truck hauling back
and forth to the farms etc. In that
way, serving our people better and
quicker than the horse and with the
increase in tractors coming along
nicely. its likely that by another year
our farmers will make even better
showing as they can tend more land
With the mechanical power than
with the animal and get better and
deeper cultivation.

SOMETHING OF ALEX. COCHRAN FAMILY.

Below we give an extract from a
letter received from son OF the late
Alex. Cochran, well-known in Greene
County, who moved away with his
family several years ago, and this
letter tells US points of interest in
how the different members of the
family have moved out into the ac-
tivies of life in this big old world,
viz:
1T has been several years ago
| think in the spring OF 1907 since
Alexander Cochran left the Good
old County of Greene and went to
the Rocky Mountains and after
feg years returned to Walthall
Co. Mississippi and died few
years ago. Mrs. A. Cochran still
lives on the place left to them at
his death with three of the girls
and one boy. Three boys are scat
tered: Mr.. N. L. Cochran the old
est son is agent for the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad at
Covington La. The writer B.
Cochran is agent & operator at
Clifton La. for the same railroad
company and Mr.. Lorenzo is at
tending a Business College in Fort
Worth Texas after spending two
years in the service OF the Govern
ment as a Corporal and then one
year as Wireless Operator for wa
terman S. S. Co. of Mobile Ala.
Very little desire now exist in the
we'll known Cochran family of ever
going back to the old home county
to settle down but would like to
visit through the awful hot wea-
Their that we have been having for
the last few weeks.

take some action he is not good
citizen. 1t is the duty of every man
to stand on guard duty for the pro-
lection and development of his COM
munity. The law with all it's power
stands ready to protect the man
who does his duty. There has been
heretofore a fear among the people
to report such things believing that
they might sustain some bodily
harm or property loss. There is
not much chance of such a thing.
The man who is cowardly enough to
slip out In the woods under cover OF
darkness and violate the law hash I
moral courage to face a real man.
Let's get our heads and shoulders to-
gether and clean 'emup.

Pickens Co. (Ala.) Herald.
The people of Pickens county have
just begun to realize that they are a

their assistance and cooperation the
enforcement of the law is a farce.
1t is impossible for dozen Illicit dis.

STORY FOR SHERIFF.

Amos l.. Story is a candidate for
re-election to the office of sheriff
of Henry County. He is now serv-
ing the second year of his initial
two-year term in that office Pre-
viously he had been a candidate
number of times, apd every time
he was defeated he accepted it cheer
fully, if losing candidate could so
accept a defeat
In just a little over a years time
Sheriff Story has not had an equal
opportunity with his predecessors to
show just what there is in him, in
an official capacity, further than he
has been absolutely conscientious in
his work, and has tried to do his
duty; he has not shirked single
obligation; he has not failed to en-
force the law to the letter, and in
doing so il must be admitted he has
been aggressive. Sheriff Story
ihould be elected to a second term,
II for no reason other than as above
stated, and from the peoples side of
che question. Shifting of county
officials where they have proven
hey are capable and efficient, never
did nor never will do a people good.
And the only good we can see in an
election every two years, is the pro
viding of an opportune time for
getting rid of inefficient, incompe-
cent, and untrustworthy officials Who
have failed to keep faith with the
confidence of the voters. Amos Story
has not been disqualified in any OF
these enthusiastically he has stuck
10 his post and tried his best, and
there is no criticism substantial that
can be offered up against his service
and efforts.
Because Sheriff Story has not let
certain bootleggers drive up to the
court square and auction off their
wares, and because he has co-ope-
rated with the city police force in
keeping down the open and motor
ious big games" that flourished in
this city UP to a few months ago
because he has been a factor in an
automatic process of elimination
thusly OF certain undesirable citizens,
this coterie is making a bitter fight
on him. Why shouldn't they? And,
if they should, why shouldn't the
decent law-abiding citizens, and those
wanting the laws of the nation,
state, county and city unheld, sup
port such an officer and see that he
has a full opportunity of at least
four years to show his mettle?
Amos Story should be re-nominated
sheriff of Henry County at the pri-
mary election to be held on October
LIST.

and Unborn capacity he is admirably
fitted for the position, which carries
with it a distinction of merit of
service.
Comrade Norris, as he is known in
his local camp of veterans, was
born in Louisa County, Virginia, in
the year 1S47, and came to Henry
County in 1853. 1t was just eleven
years later when the call came for
the Civil War and he volunteered
his services in the Confederate Army,
joining Company G with Capt. f. F.
Alden of the Seventh Tennessee Cav
airy, Col Duckworth and Gen. w. H
Jackson, brigaded under Gen. N B.
Forrest. This unit was surrendered
and payroled at GAINESVILLE, Alabama
on May 18th, 1866. His record OF
service and his attainment of years
coupled with the high respect and
admiration in which he is held as q
member of the Fitzgerald Kendall
local camp, and his high standing
in citizenship in this city and coun
ty and over West Tennessee, fit hin
well for the position, and Gov. Tay
lor could not possibly make a better
selection.

PORTERS VS.. CONDUCTORS ON
PULLMAN CARS.

An effort is being made by the
Pullman Company to displace the
white Pullman conductors on certain
lines in the State of Tennessee, and
leave the car in charge of the negro
porter.
OF course, they won't get by with
this insult, but The Pullman Com
pany should never even be permitted
to inaugurate the plan. If our
state railroad commission, (Which it
is costing the people of Tennessee
50 much money to maintain, for
the very little good it lis doing)
were on the job it would see that
the practice is never adopted in
this state, even if it lived only
sufficient length of time for the
people of the state to have to go
up in arms about it to compel the
commission to stop it. 1t should be
nipped in the bud. The Pullman
Company has developed wonderful
business, not only in sleeping car
patrons, but in chair car patrons.
The latter has developed largely be-
cause of the protection feature, in
permitted to travel under some pro
lection. This protection cannot ex-
list, except the cars are in immediate
charge of a regular Pullman con-
ductor.
The negro Pullman porters, as a
general rule, are insulting enough:
put a string of brass buttons on any
negro, and his proudness STILES his
ability to maintain the politeness
of manner in which he has been
trained up in the south. Leave him
alone and give him full command
of the individual $4,000 palace car,
and imagine his mannerisms.
The cost per train mile to the
Pullman Company for the services
of white conductor is too infinites-
imal for any measure of retrench-
ment to be effected in pulling off
the conductors and substituting the
negro porter
The people of this state are not
going to stand for it; and our rail
road commission, as little respect as
we have for its ability to accomplish
should at least assert it
self right in the beginning of this
aggravating movement on
the part of the Pullman Company
