WAR news PUSHES
UP WHEAT PRICES;
CORN SHOWS GAIN
tBy Associated Pressl


CHICAGO, Sept 23-War news
eclipsed everything else in the wheat
market this week, and prices went
skyward. This morning compared
with a week ago, wheat was up SIS
TO 7ss cents bushel with corn show
ing gain of 1Ac to 2Ac, and oats
1b@1H to 25sQ2Ac
The net difference in provisions var
led from sc decline to a rise of 32c.
The biggest upturn in the wheat
market together with the largest vol
ume of trading quickly followed an
nouncement that the entire Atlantic
fleet had been ordered to CONSTANT
nople and that arms factories in Great
Britain would work day and night at
full capacity. In the first furry on
change here, nearly six cents bushel
advance took place at the rate of an
additional cent in every 10 minutes,
affecting the value of millions of bush
els of grain.
Tension Grows.
Although peace moves and absence
of word as to any actual fighting led
to subsequent rapid fluctuations in the
wheat market, tension among traders
grew more. acute as the week drew to
an end, especially after news that the
Turks had stolen march on the
British, and had apparently gained
control of the entrance to the Oar
danelles.
Immense receipts of wheat at Winni
peg, as well as other factors that have
been regarded as of great importance
failed to check the rise in prices the
action of the market proving gooo
deal similar to what was witnessed
just previous to the war.
Corn and oats owed their gains near
ly altogether to the soaring of wheat
Some European buying though of corr
and oats was noted.
Demand for provisions was more
active than has been the rule of late
lard especially being in request.
NEW YORK, Sept 23.-Quoted Sc
curity values sustained a sharp set
back this week, when professional
short interests forced a readjustmen
of the stock markets weakened tech
nical position. The Turkish ''wa'
scare" was used as the excuse fol
Mondays severe reaction, while thu
calling of loans and the marking vi
of the call rate to six percent furnish
ed the impetus for Thursdays decline
the net losses in standard shares rang
ing from l to points. The course o
the market indicated that the Ions
period of speculative buying had de
veloped an overbought condition ant
that there had been a tendency to owe
discount all the bullish development
in sight.

Miss kearney's Campaign May Teach
Reality OF Woman Suffrage.

z, plarvllle Free Press.
For Miss Kearney we entertain
the utmost respect and good will,
but it seems to be the general opin-
ion throughout the state that the
interest of our citizens in woman
suffrage and in women officeholders,
has not grown appreciably since the
ratification of the 10Th. Amdt. Miss
Kearney will render valuable service
in educating the women of the state
as to the reality OF suffrage and the
Importance of them participating 10
public affairs. This in itself, while
highly commendable puts her more
in the ranks of the missionaries than
than the candidates. The true issue
IS betweea Mr. Stephen and Mr.
Vardaman. Between them and
their platforms is WIDE gulf fixed.

The Herald editor had the pleasure
monday OF meeting personally ). u.
Burton, of Ellisyille who was over
a few hours during court. Burton
is the well-known editor OF the
Elhsville Progress and has edited
other papers IN the state at different
times aud is recognized as by far one
OF the ablest and most fearless edi-
tors in Mississippi, which of course
means that he belongs to the Varda-
man camp. When he hits on the an
vii with those sleoge hammer blows
of his, the sparks fly right and left
and there is glow to the iron which
shows that something is beaten into
shape as the strokes fall. Burton
has strong arm as well and his
looks back up all he says, no matter
how stout, and few If any question
him.

What's the Matter With Mississippi.

EllIsville Progress.
Not enough fool killers. Too
many people who want to look after
other folks business and neglect their
own. Too many preachers med
ding IN pc litics. Too many people
not willing to allow the other fellow
the same rights, they claim for them
selves Too MANY newspapers.
Then Mississippi has 40 represent
lation Ia the senate and but little
in the lower house. Then our bust
ness men listen to such third rate
men as Setfnett Conner and Cover
nor Brough. Most every little
town has employed some little fellow
to harmonic the town and the coun-
try man to adopt the town man S

In the newspaper world there is
no subject recognized as having
clustered round it more false claims,
Misrepresentation and plain-out
lies, than that OF CIRCULATION State
ments. There are ways of ascertain
ing pretty accurately the truth of
these, about which we shall give in
formation possibly later on. Now
for the present let 1t be said that
The HERALD has the BEST circriation
of any publication or any periodical
which circuates in Greene County
and we can prove it copclusively and
yet we do not go in for extravagant
claims as to our circulation Lie some
county papers have done and used
such assertions as: I'VE cover the
county like the dews do the ear tn. I"
But we do claim TO get into every
town and hamlet of the county.
And we do know that our circulation
is holding nicely thank you, and
that, without any extraordinary eff
forts or begging campaigns. All we
ask is that our subscribers continue
70 renew promptly and those in
clined to do so favor with new sub
scriptions. We are averaging we'll
for this dull time of the year on sub,
scriptions and friends tell us we
have nothing to fear; to go ahead
right along.

This paper has been commenting
upon the few good pieces OF legisla-
ton which came through the grind
of the 1922 session. Let il not !. be
forgot that we are wonderfully
thankful for the work OF those va
liant and patriotic spirits 10 such
body who prevented hurtful legisla-
ton from getting through. The In
surance Rating Bureau, Destruction
of State Revenue Office and the re.
moval of the limitation of capital o
big corporations, were among these
as big efforts of the monied classes
to get ahead of the people of Missis'
sippi. No doubt there are some
needed places of amending the Law
at all these points but this was mol
the time, account OF the wrong ele
ment dominating the legislature anc
making the opening up OF such
questions for changes quite danger
Gus now. Fortunately their hand:
were tied by different methods 0
skirmishings and defeat came IL
their plans. AT another session TIL.
needs at these points can probably
be better handled with safer bunch
elected after proper campaign agita
tion and Ventilation.

Citizen.
The farmers of bur country de-
serve every riRhtful consideration
There is no class that IS feeling
the pinch of the changing of the
times more than they. 1t is gi att
tying to see the business world exer-
:ising itself to assist the tlllers oil
The soil. This is especially true of
the banks of our country. The
banks have inaugurated a most
liberal treatment toward them. The
farmer must bear III mind. however,
that he is to come into his own
through thrift and Industry. The
Greene County Herald IN its last
week s issue published the following,
which is all true:
The backwardness of crop
planting may turn out all right.
Usually nature is kind and when
one season is late another is early.
and 1t NAV be the late opening Of
spring is harbinger of an early COM
ing of fall and we will see quick
maturity of crops with abundant
yields. Let it be hoped so, as the
farmers deserve all the good things
with which providence may bless

Injunction of Earning his living

About Publishing Delinquent Poll List.

Perry Co. News.
The Greene County Herald by way
OF comment on the matter OF publish
ing the delinquent poll tax list has
the following:
1.-THE Poll List is be n g
published for this the second
week. This may be the last time
such ever appears, as there is bill
which has passed one house, the
lower one of the present Legislature
providing for repeal of the law re-
curing Delinquent Poll Tax payers
names published. The bill was IN
troduced to spare the publishing of
women delinquents, and was later a.
needed to include men. Some of
lawmakers think 1t will never pass
fully. There is good reason for It's
retention provided enough funds are
allowed to get the list published as
its more than doubled on account of
the women coming into franchise.
Among the reasons it should still be
published is that it is a handy man
ual for every one interested IN the
public welfare to have cl eek on the
elections and thus help keep down
all election frauds. While If not
published 1t will beget a concentra-
.iou OF power in the court houses
and will encourage back dating for
the selfish interests of some politi
clans to say nothing of the power
exercised by the inside information
which it will yield. and that can be
welded to the detriment of the mn
informed public on the outside
This refers to the future, and not tc
TIE present administration here in
our county, which if we understand
ii, is heartily IN favor such publ
cation.

remembered that this was the posi-
tion that the Wayne County News
took all along. viz: A fair and i'm
partial trial before jury OF men
who will do their duty though the
heavens fall. There is little doubt
that there are some people liz Missi-
ssippi who would be pleased to see
the governor convicted They are
filled with prejudice. This paper
hopes that the governor will be found
not guilty, for aconvchon of Russell
also conyicts MISS Blfkhead, and
would prove that she is fully as bad
as she says she is. The case has
been called for preliminary argument
this week, and it may be transferred
to Oxford, the governors home.
The Wayne County News believes
that the law of the land should be
obeyed but that before man be de-
clared guilty of crime he must be
so declared by a jury Of his peers.
Right and just. isn't it? None of US
are any too good, then why should
we say "oh, yes he's guilty" when
no court has said so. We are not
defending Gov. Russell, but con
demning q spirit of hellroaring in
justice and partlsanship, wherein
some of Mississippi's best sons have
been led to say the most unkind
things of those who disagree with
them. Let US be just and fair both
to the plaintiff and to the governor.
What ails Mississippi? appears to
be the slogan of some mighty fine
people. It's an old chestnut unfit
for further use. The same thing
ails Mississippi that ails al other
states, not enough of the golden rule.
