Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-10-19

Three weeks ago, the seat of Sem
ator Howard Sutherland, Republican
incumbent in West Virginia, was viz
tually conceded to the Democrats, but
fighting organization there has
changed the aspect OF things COM
pietely' according 10 the Republican
reports and Sutherland now stands
an excellent chance of victory of his
opponent, former Congressman VI. VI.
Nicely. Sutherland, it is declared by
the Republicans, will carry the State
with comparative ease and will carry
with him the whole of the Republican
delegation in the House with the eX-
cepton of one member whose seat
is in doubt.
The outstanding feature of the
whole election is undoubtedly the
campaign in Ohio where both parties
ara throwing in large amounts Of
money and their ablest speakers in
an effort to carry the Presidents
nome State. Senator Atee Pomerenc,
Democratic incumbent, an exceeding
~ able man and a vigorous cam
pa;ener. is making excellent head
way in his fight agains, Representa-
tive Simeon D. Fess, Republican
nominee. ii is declared, but faces odds
that gives the edge in the campaign
20 his opponent. From this angle il
appears that Fess will be the winner
although the Democrats seem to have
sacrificed their chances in several
other States for the doubtful strategy
OF trying to put over Mr.. Pomerene
for the effect it will have on the
presidential campaign Of 1921.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Fess's prob
able cage in the race, which ought to
give him victory BY not fewer than
$4,000 votes, a number OF Republican
congressman, variously estimated by
the Republican and Democratic cam
paign committee. are sure to 20
down to defeat. While Republican
headqusrters insist noL more than
six Of tie solid Republican deIega-
ito nof twenty-five members will be
defeated. the Democrats are claiming
from ten to twelve Conservative
estimates made it appear that prob
ably seven or eight, more likely the
former number OF Republican House
members will fail 70 be returned.
Next TO Missouri, Republicans de-
clare, Ohio is the worst spot they have
i'm the nation, it being not even worse
than New York where the election Of

Large Crowd Enjoy Picture.

Altho the weather on Monday
evening was far from what one
would call ideal, yet large and
aprreciative audience was at the
Strand Theatre to witness the
picture "The Old Nest" which
was shown GAoer the auspices
of the Methodist Ladies Aid.
The picture more than full
filled the expectation of the
audience and the ladies have
been gratifed to learn thru
some of the representative citi-
zens that every one, in general,
seemed pleased with the pro-
duction. They take this means
Of expressing their appreciation
to you for attending and thus
making it the financial success
that it was.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Catalog Time.

Where now the winds Of
March are blowing the garden
sass will soon be growing. My
muse shall sing mans yearly
need for onion sets and spinach
seed, shall sing likewise that
gay deceiver which stimulates
our garden fever, the subtle
seedman's catalog whose charms
bur better judgement fog. It's
pictured beets and peas and
chard were never grown in my
back yard. My radishes are not
so red my punkins not so
widely spread, my lettuces re-
fuse to head, The seedman is
an optimist and lives the
brighter side, I wish. He does
not show in colored plate the
woely worms that lie in wait.
No dark-brown spots like mine
are seen on his prolific greenpod
bean. And yet, for planting all
agog, | love that yearly catalog.
I hail with joy each harmless
fable and plant new squashes
for my table. For thought my
cukes be bitter things my cab
bage full of worms, by jings, and
all my snap beans full strings,
still to my heart the brown
earth calls, and all her summers
springs and falls shall find my
legs in overalls; shall find me
spading loan and sand with
several blisters on my hand.

ASKS BOARD TO
SPEED UP WORK
Damaged Bridge Across Kirby
/. Creek at StillmOre Said
To Be impossible
Stillmore, Miss,
March 6, 1922.

March 6, 1922.
Stone County Enterprise,
Virgins, Miss.
Gentlemen:
I enclose herewith carbon
copy of letter to the Board of
Supervisors which is self eX-
planatory. We would respect
fully ask that you give enough
of your news space to publish
this in the interest of bettering
conditions in the county.
Thanking you in advance for
same, | am, yours very truly,
F. H. Robertson.
Following is the letter:
Stillmore, Miss,
March 6, 1922.
Board of Supervisors,
Stone County,
Virgins, Miss.
Gentlemen
We would respectfully repre-
sent that two weeks ago today
that the bridge across Kirby
Creek at Stillmore was torn up
in such a manner that traffic
could not be maintained over
same during said period and
that to all intents and purposes
the bridge is very little nearer
complexion than at the time
Immediately following cessation
of traffic. And that it is our un-
derstanding that the timbers or
a portion of same has not as
yet been manufactured, and that
it will be some days before this
can possibly be secured, thereby
making the delay in completing
same extend over a much longer
period than would have been
necessary under any and all cir
cumstances had this been hand
led in anything like an efficient
manner by the responsible par
ties. In fact, we can see no
reason for the traffic having
been stopped up to this time at
all, and on the other hand, had
it been desirable to handle this
in the present manner, some
temporary crossing should have
been provided. Now, we would
ask that this work be speeded
up, looking to an early compile
tion of same.
Respectfully submitted, F. H.
Robertson, M. D., V. F. Ike, John
Saucier, J. M. Burnham, c. O..

ALEXANDER SAYS
HE is GLANDS OFF"
Stone COunty's, Representative
Taking No Stock In In
vestigatiOn

The following communication
from Representative J. M. Alex
ander who is "doing his bit" in
the legislature, will be of inter
est to Enterprise readers:
Jackson, Miss, Mar. 6.
Stone County Enterprise:
We are here and at our post.
This morning starts one of the
biggest Investigations the State
has ever made. While | have
had nothing to do with it and,
to be plain, was not present at
the tin1e the vote was taken by
the House in favor of the in
vestigation. I believed then
and do yet that it was merely
a political muddle. I have never
seen as much bosh or crooked
politics as there's being played
here. Who the guilty one is I
hope the public will find out.
Some of the papers have
criticized the Speaker, Mr.. Con-
ner, very severly and accused
him of stacking the commit
tee" by putting all anti-Russell
men on the committee, but that
is not true for there are some
who are Russell men and I be-
lieve that the committee will go
thoroughly into the matter or
matters and give all a square
deal.
I thought we would get
through up here by the middle
of this month but this hope has
vanished. There is no telling
when this bunch will quit, but
bear this in mind, I am here to
the end. That's the promise I
made-to be on the job at roll
call and pay day and I expect to
do as I said when before the
people.
We don't seem to be- doing
much. The House will pass a
bill and the Senate will kill it.
The Senate passes one and the
House puts it to death, amend
or indefinitely postpone, so there
you are. 1t seems the two
branches can't agree. We
worked two days on a county
salary bill. It was amended al
most to death in the House,
went to the Senate and they
killed it dead and sent the
House a fee bill which we have
not not yet considered. The
school appropriation bill passed
the same as last year with some
amendments in the House
which the Senate took off and
now we have to concur before it
is a law, which I believe we will
do. The state salary bill has
passed the House with a cut in
each department with quite a
few clerks and stenographers
were cut out entirely and some
of the state officers were left on
a very low salary. Don't know
what the Senate will do with
this bill-amend, revise and sub
stitute though, I expect.
Well, guess I have said
enough for this time.
Respectfully,
J. M. Alexander,
Representative Stone County.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Once in big city there lived poor
family named Miller. The father had
died several years before, leaving them
without a home or any money. In this
family was boy named John and two
little SISTERS named Mary and Ruth.
John sold papers for living, and
the mother sewed and worked out when
she could find work to do, but it took
all they both could make to live on.
They lived in little cottage at the
edge of the city Near them lived a
rich family named Jones. There were
also three children in this family, two
girls and one boy. The boys name
was Frank, the girls names were Alice
and Pearl. They lived in a big man.
sion with servants and maids to take
care Of the children. They had . big
Packard car and everything they
wanted.
The day before Christmas the Miller
family was very sad for they did not
have enough money to buy Christmas
presents or to have tree. Toms pa
pers were not selling very well and the
mothers earnings for sewing and wash
ing were very small.
So Chr ,stmas came and the Millers
had very little to make them happy,
hut the Jones had presents galore,
several Christmas trees in the house
and all sorts of good things.
it happened that evening that Mrs.
Jones had been down town and as she
passed the Miller house she looked in
and saw the children sitting around
the fire looking sad and with no Christ
mas tree or presents.

LITTLE JACKS LUCK

1t was the day before Christmas.
Oh, what dark and stormy day it
was! A northeast wind was blowing
gale, driving sheets of snow before
it. Everything was covered with
snow.
Jack, little newsboy, could hardly
make his way along the street. He
had sold but one paper. Poor little
Jack! What heavy heart he had,
With Christmas so near and no money
to buy his sister, Evelyn, a doll a. he
had planned, or par of warm slip
pers for his mother.
While he was standing looking at
some beautiful toys in a shop window,
he heard scream. Looking around,
he saw an old lady lying on the walk.
She had slipped and fallen on the Icy
pavement. Jack ran to see what was
the matter.
Many people were hurrying along
through the snow, but no one but Jack
paid any a't,ni'on to the unconscious
woman. A tex was passing. Tho
driver happened to be Jacks friend.
Jack called to him to take the woman
to his home. Here she soon became con-
scious and was able to be taken to her
own home. How thankful she seemed
for this kindness.
The next 'morning when Evelyn ran
to see if Santa had left anything in
her stocking, she found it empty. It
nearly broke Jacks heart to see her
tears.
Just then up drove large car.
What do you thinki The driver Of
the car brought beautiful doll for
Evelyn, flexible flier sled for Jack,
par Of warm slippers for the mother,
and an invitation to come with the
