ELECTION AFTERMATH

Mr.. Editor:
Our jubilations over the result OF
the election last Tuesday are SO great
we want to impart some to our
friends South, especially go since we
have sent a Mississippi boy to con-
gress from this great Republican city
We Oregon democrats have much
for which to be proud, we have won
q great victory. We have elected
Elton Watkins to congress Mr..
Watkins is q Mississippian, better
stiil he Ia almost a Neshoba boy,
having been raised In the hills OF
Newton county around Decatur. He
is a nephew OF VIII Carlton, who
has been clerk of that county for
many years and has many other rel.
atives now living In that section Of
the state. He Ia very fine charac-
ter, man OF high ideals and ia right
on all public questions else he could
not have overcome the odds against
him In this city OF about $1,000 re-.
publicans and 10000 democrats. He
is the first democrat to he elected to
the lower house of congress from
this state in the past 46 years.
We not only elected one congress-
man Of the three from this state but
we elected our governor as well.
There are 200 thousand registered re-
publicans In Oregon and only 80
thousand democrats but last Tues
day the democratic candidate won
by majority of over $1,000 votes.
We have mentioned before In letters
sent you about the independence OF
the voters In the Northwest. Ii was
clearly shown In this election. The
tiemocrats elected their us. Senator
from Washington against AS great
odds as In Oregon.
This state, like Mississippi, is sui
fering from high taxes. Republican
rule for so long is responsible for It,
just like the rule OF the ''isIns" In
Mississippi for the past several years
has greatly Increased Your taxes.
South your election was the usual
formality, you had your fight In the
primaries Of August, here we have
our fun Id the general election and
TO the democrats 1t was much fun
this time H. L. Ray.

COTTON FARMER IS AGAIN
MARKED FOR SLAUGHTER

The MANUFACTURERS RECORD has
repeatedly urged upon the cotton
growers and financial interests OF
the South u thorough cooperation
or the orderly marketing OF cotton.
Southern cotton farmers have from
time immemorial heen led to the
market and slaughtered for the bene-
fit Of the speculator. Merchants and
bankers of the South, who have IL in
their power to see that Southern
cotton growers get u square deal
and a just profit ON their labor, can
co operate In aiding the farmers tp
m lrket their cotton In u more eco
nomic. efficient way, They will find
the farmer willing to hold his cotton
If they will make it possible for him
to get q little longer credit. With
the world cotton supply at a low
ebb and stocks of cotton goods
qually low, 1t will be a crime
against the people of this country
-ifSouthern cotton growers are not
allowed to realize q fair profit on
their work, Forced to sell their
cotton AZ fast as it is picked and
ginnea, through the shortsighted
policy of money lenders In the South
(beeause the cotton farmer mainly
Is dependent upon borrowed capital,)
demanding payment at time when
such Il general practice is bound to
force cotton prices down, the grow.
ers lose and hare to stand by and
see the cotton specuiator parasite
wax far. Money lending and crop
backing merchants, bankers and all
Others in the South by co operating
with the cotton grower for a better
marketing OF his crop will benefit
along with the grower in helping to
keep the money at home thatusually
goes outside tosthp speculator, and
America will benefit through the In
creased prosperity OF the South by
keeping the money in this country
that would go to foreign cotton
spectators. .-Mfg's Record.

Neshoba Democrat:
] think plan mentioned In Novem.
Der. End Democrat. would be good
one. In fact 1t Ia the only way for
us to do any thing toward getting
better roads now, as there are a few
good citizens in this neighborhood
who don't want any bond issue at
present.
What we all need to do is lay
down the hammer and all Ill feelings
towards one another and all come
out on December 9Th and give the
county a good days work. 1t win
give us all more satisfaction when
We start to market or any other
place. / like to see a good coopera-
tive spirit existing among our citi-
zens. You know our county or state
is no better than the people who live
init. Lets all pull together good

BETTER ROAD DAY DEC. 9TH

Since writing the first article on q
Better Road Day, for Neshoba Coun-
ty. ] note that the interest has rapid.
iy increased. Reports from quite a
number Of citizeos, convince me that
large number OF people will volun.
teer Dec. Sth on their respective road
This Is very encouraging and is proof
that the mass Of people are waking
up on this neglected subject.
To get best results, some sort of or
ganization must be made in due time.
I'll suggest this for your conside era
tion:
Every community in Neshoba Coun
ty can remember very well, the link
OF road that was worked under the
old system with an overseer, and flu
thermore, the point where the work
began. Why cannot we use this on
the 9Th of Decs
We want one or two, two horse
pIows on each link. with plenty OF
sharp axes shovels and hoes. Select
some one to plan the days work.
Why should we volunteer and give
one days free labor on our roads? To
create in us desire for better roads
and increase our pride In such things.
We have let our pride run down to a
low ebb. This world is a great stage
and every man should dress his part
OF 1t. II we don't use our brain,
muscle and money, We will never
reach our possibilities.
Let us lay aside all prejudice, envy
strife and such like, snd line up 5000
strong on Dec Sth. This would be
the greatest compliment and news
item ever credited to Neshoba Coun-
ty.
Personally, do not like to do this
but the time comes very often in hu.
man history, that we must suppress
these old sulky feelings Of ours.
TIE consolidated school Is here tc
stay but it will become burdensome,
unless we get better roads Unfortu,
nately, We are poor county. The
people will not likely vote large bond
issues any time soon, for road pur
poses; hence, we will be compelled
to rely on our present fund and free
labor.
We want Nov. Both issue of the
Democrat to be Better Road Speci
al. truly hops that it will be full o.
short letters from citizens of every
nook and corner of the county.
Respectfully,
G. G. Roberts, Beat 4.
