JACKSON, Miss.-"Nothing but my
own death can take me out of this
race!"
That's the statement of Miss Belle
Kearney, woman candidate for Unit
ed States senator from Mississippi, a
state that bitterly fought the national
woman suffrage amendment to the
last ditch
Political observers here say Miss
Kearney's chance Of winning is good
and that queer twist of political
fate may cause Mississippi to send one
of the first womo:f to the senate!
Miss Kearney repeatedly has de-
fled masculine elements that have
sought her withdrawal from the sena-
torial campaign.
Not "Quitter."
after the bitter fights / have
gone through to gain state and ma
tional prohibition and to win the bal
lot for women, | am not easily elm
mated" she says.
Men have been so in the habit Of
eliminating or effacing women that
it's only natural for them to run true
to form.
But they forget they are faced
by a new situation that looms like a
stone wall-the enfranchisement Of
women.
"As a citizen Of Mississippi l shall
fight for my rights and the rights
OF every woman Of the land if I have
to battle alone without a campaign
manager and without a campaign

Will Stump State.
| Miss Kearney started her active
senatorial campaign as soon as 1t was
established that Senator John s. Will
lams would not run for reelection.
With brief platform she's now
planning to stump every county in
the state
Having started her career as n
schoolteacher, Miss Kearney early
turned to uplift work. She became
one OF the best lecturers and organic.
ers of the Women's Christian Tenn.
perance Union.
She toured every state in the in
terest of this organization before fed
eral prohibition legislation was passed.
She also was an ardent suffrage
worker.
In the World War she went to
France at her own expense and en-
gagged in relief work.

possible opponent now is ex-senator

The Prime Necessity

If the members of the Farmers
Union will get it out of their heads
that the organization was effected
for the purpose of antagonizing the
local merchants and business men
it will have accomplished a great
deal for the farming interests of the
country. A close cooperation be-
tween the two classes is essential to
the success of the organization and
the prosperity of both classes. 1t is
a well-known fact that when the
farmers in this section are prosper
Gus the merchants and business
men are prosperous. A more friend
~ feeling between the two classes
will benefit both. Neither can pros

Democrat, Oneonta.

The payment of a poll tax is not a
privilege, neither is it optional on
the part of any citizen, man or wo-
man; it Is a demand made by the
state, imposed in accordance with
organic law, and in this sense be-
comes, not only duty but a moral
obligation that is binding upon
every citizen who falls within the
laws provisions.
Whatever discredit would attach
to the non payment of any just
debt, necessarily. in the opinion of
the public, attaches to the non-pay-
ment of the poll tax Debts are not
formed in the opinions of the par
ties who owe them; they are predi-
Gated .on the moral obligation to
pay; no debt carries greater moral
obligation than debts that are i'm
posed by the slate upon its citizens.

The Road Bond Election

Who says women will not vote or
take an interest In political affairs
that affect the civic. governmental
or moral we'll being of the state. ma
ton. district or municipality? Who
ever contends that they won't are
cited to the activity of the fair sex
in the road bond election which was
held in this district Monday. for re-
futation.
Upon the authorizing of this bond
issue depended the building of the
rock road from Aberdeen to Nettle-
ton, an enterprise materially affect
ing the trade of Aberdeen, and the
women responded enthusiastically,
putting the election over favora bly,
by a stunning majority. Following
il the vote:
Out of 715 votes cast at the va
rious precincts, only 81 were against
the issuance of the bonds.
Some months ago the Fifth dis
trict authorized $4,000 of road
bonds. The additional $4,000 of
bonds authorized by this election
aggregate a basis of $4,000 that
will secure federal aid of an equal
amount, making a road fund of
$18O.OO0 for good road construc
ton in the Fourth and Fifth dis
tricts. Considerable of this fund
will be expended in building the
rock road connecting Aberdeen with
Nettleton, which completes a link
in the Mississippi Valley Highway,
and at the same time connects the
Bankhead Highway at TupelO with
the Jackson Highway at Columbus.
The result of the election is graft
fying to the people of the Fourth
and Fifth districts and means much
for the development of both dis
tricts. and is of great commercial
Importance to Aberdeen as a trade
center.

Poll Tax a Debt, Not a
Privilege

An esteemed exchange quotes an
estimable woman as expressing her
self as follows:
i will not mind seeing my name
published in the delinquent poll tax
list. It will only mean that | do
not care to participate in politics
and have no desire to become a vo-
ter. | do not consider that | owe
the state a poll tax for privilege |
have never desired or asked for.
may be little old-fashioned, but |
do not consider that the fact that
woman's name is published in this
list will cast any reflection or odium
upon her. 1t will rather be to her
credit, according to my view of the
matter"
The reasoning of the above is
faulty in that the state does not sell
the right to vote. That Fright is in
herent in every citizen who COM
plies with the laws of his,or her
country, and all men or women be-
tween the ages of q and 90 years
are required to pay this tax with
1ut any reference whatever to their
or desire to vote. The
payment of the poll tax imposes n
egal requirement. as much so az to
perform any other duty the state
awfully demands of its citizens

AS to the Penitentiary Farms

The following. taken from the
Mississippi department of the Mem
phis News-Scimitar Bureau, edited
by Edgar S. Wilson. at Jackson,
Miss, will be read with interest by
Mississippi taxpayers:
In his report, Superintendent
James w. Williamson, of the state
penitentiary, makes the gratifying
statement to the taxpayers that the
penitentiary for the coming two
years will be able to get along with
$4,000 per year. He also an
nounces that he expects to turn
back in the neighborhood of $780,
600. saved from our 1921 appro-
priatiOn.' The annual appropria-
ton for the support of the peniten-
tiary is 1926. 900. and no money
from the sale of crops is allowed
for expenses. the same being paid
into the state treasury. Mr.. Will
hanson suggests that he would like
to have an appropriation of S25.-
600 for the erection of a modern
hospital at the Parchman farm.
which he says is badly needed to
care for sick prisoners.

County Agent Notes
IRISH POTATOES.

The outlook for a good market
for potatoes is good now. and be-
lieve that many farmers should
plant them on a safe basis in order
to have a crop they can sell for.cash
money in early summer.
| mean by planting on a safe ba-
sis to not go into it so heavily as to
be hurt financially if the price was
not 30 good as expected.
The first reason for thinking that
the price will be fairly good is that
southern potato growers were dis
appointed in the price they received
for their crop last season and many
will not plant this year. With most
any crop a good market nearly al
ways follows a bad one.
Another factor that controls the
price of southern Irish potatoes is
the size of the crop made in the
northern belt the previous fall. Last
fall the crop was several million
bushels short up there, and this
should cause our crop to bring
better price this summer.
You can follow potatoes with sew
eral other crops and you can count
on one of the crops paying the ex-
pense of making both.
The county agent is here to give
you all the information he can.
When you want him you can either
call on him, write. or telephone oyer
either line.
I'll gladly help you buy or sell
seed, your fertilizers. the growing of
your crop and the finding of mar
ket for it after it is grown.
SPRING OATS.
Those who failed to grow suffi-
cient feed for this year should plant
them some Burt oats, as they will |
make grain and lots of good hay,
if they are given a top
dressing of nitrate of soda.
By following the oat crop with |
some other you will get the full
benefit of the fertilizer.
| would like to get in touch with !
all who have oOod cood Of anx bind
to sell, such as soy beans. peas. cot
ton seed, corn. lespedeza, etc also
with those who want to buy any
seed.

Will They Remove the Mill
stone?

The Mississippi solons are in ses11
sion. They met Tuesday. Seven
bills were introduced the first day,
and one Of them was a thrust at
one of the best constructive laws on
the statute books of the state. 1t
was a bill proposing to abolish the
State Tax Commission, and was in
troduced by Mr.. Guy Mitchell of
Lee county. who Is the author of
the anti bolshevist bill. exploited
by him in the last legislature, and
which, if it had passed. hundreds of
free-speech-loving Jetfersonian dem
ocrats of the state would now be
looking through prison bars.
The State Tax Commission has
done more to equalize assessments
as among the different counties of
the state than any other agency the
legislature could have devised. and
has adjusted the state tax equita-
bly,, so that the burden fails equally
upon every civil district. This. how
ever, seems to be thorn in the side
of some folks who yearn for a re-
turn to the old system. where Jug
Cling with the assessment values of |
property by boards of supervisors of
certain counties operated to shift
preponderance of the state tax onto
the shoulders of the weaker and
more conscientious civil units. which,
in most cases, happened to be the
hill counties.
Hon. Fred B. Smith Of Tippah
was elected president pro tenn of
the senate; both branches of the
legislature perfected their organiza-
ton Tuesday; Hon. Pat Harrison
made a speech; the governors mes
sage was read Wednesday. and both
branches of the assembly settled
down to work, to do the best they
could. God grant that they devise
some way to tighten the present
stress of taxation and relieve the
people of the existing real. or imag-
mary. depression affecting them
with symptoms of approaching fl
nancial disaster

FARMERS SAY PUREBREDS

1t is the concensus of opinion of
500 growers of purebred and grade
livestock who were questioned by the
United States Department of Agri-
cultural that the purebred sire is
from 10 to 400 per cent better than
the ordinary sire. This applies to
all classes of livestock. Many Of
the men who replied to the depart
ment's QUESTIONABLE gave figures
and specific instances to back up
what they had to say regarding the
remarkable Improvement effected in
a relatively short time.
In reply to the question as to the
value of their example in inducing
others in the community to take up
improved livestock most of these
