A SUCCESSFUL WAY
TO MARKET YOUR
COTTON CROP

In an appeal recently made by Gus
Hill, Campaign Manager for the MIS-
sissippi Farm Bureau Cotton Asso-
citation, the advantages that will ac-
crue to business interests Of MiSSls-
sippi by successful system of cot
ton marketing was pointed out, and
Mr.. Hill made strong appeal for the
support of these interests as follows:
The State of Mississippi is agrl-
cultural state. The biggest majority
of the people of this state are either
producers or absolutely dependent
upon the producer of this State. IL
is threby evident that whatever is or
benefit to the producer will be OF
benefit to about % per cent or more
Of the population of Mississippi.
Every man in any community is dl-
rectly responsible for the progress
and development of that community
in proportion to his position: He can
no more shirk the responsibility OF
developing the progress OF his com
munity than can a father shlrk the
responsibility of providing food ana
clothing for his family. 1t has al
ready been demonstrated beyond a
shadow of doubt that cooperative
marketing of any commodity is OF
benefit to the producer, the entire
community. the county and the
State.
The great money crop of the State
of Mississippi is cotton, it was cotton
several years ago, it is cotton now.
and it viii be cotton in the future,
and in proportion to the prosperity
of the cotton raiSerS of the State OF
Mississippi so is the prosperity OF
the State. You men are all depend
ent upon the prosperity of the agrl-
cultural people OF the State, there
fore | appeal to you as men and as
leaders in your communities to sup
port and assist in every way possible
the organization of the Mississippi
Farm Bureau Cotton Association, an
association organized for the sole
purpose to market the cotton of the
farmers pf Mississippi in more
economical manner. 1t can be proven
that the farmers of Mississippi lose
every year hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. if not millions through the
extravagant system they now use IN
marketing the cotton. Therefore, 1t
is your job your duty as fellow
neighbor of the farmer, as business
men to lend every assistance possible
in organizing system by which the
farmer of Mississippi can market his
cotton in a more business like man
ner, thereby saving for himself the
waste he has lost heretofore.
There are many ways in which you
can help. When the campaign ls
launched in your county, lend your
every assistance, go out with the
county agent and the man who So
licits in your county, and see the diff
ferent farmers, look into the PROPOSE
tion so you will be able to explain it
in detail, put posters, dodgers ana
the like in your show windows, let
the public know that you indorse the
movement. The progressive business
men of other Southern states have
done it and it is bringing successful
results, and there is no reason why
it should not be successful in this
State

given to the one who guesses who
the largest number of people were.
Misses Olivia Moore and Delta
Stevens, in pretty costumes. presided
over the candy booth. where popcorn
balls, dressed-up lolly pops and candy
were sold.
An interesting feature for the
children was the caldron filled with
toys and sawdust, where they stir
red around in the pot and pulled out
n toy.
Miss Josephine Cooke was the
pretty little WITCH" who presided
over the witches hut, and told the
fortunes of every one.
Then there was the Mystic Cham

DIR. WATSON, OF
BRANDON HONORED

1t is with considerable pride that
we note the recognition given DR..
Watson, of Brandon, by the Com
mercial Appeal and both Jackson
papers.
The Commercial Appeal especially,
carried more than a full column on
the address which DR.. Watson de-
livered at the meeting of the Missis-
sippi- Louisiana Health Institute this
week.
For several years DR.. Watson has
devoted considerable of his time to
organizations which had for their
purpose the improvement of public
health, and it is gratifying not only
to the Brandon News, but to every
one who knows DR.. Watson that his
work is being recognized not only
in Rankin County but generally.

AN INTERESTING
EVENT WAS THE
PARCEL POST SALE

An interesting event of the past
week was the Parcel Post Sale on
last Friday night at the Masonic Hall.
1t was given by the Parent Teachers
Association to make money for the
new piano. There was a large crowd
present, and every one entered into
the fun and had good time.
Slips were passed around, and
every one had to perform the stunt
that was written on his slip. This
was lots of fun for everybody.
Another feature was the spelling
match. Sides were chosen and words
of three letters were given out to be
spelled backward.
The sum of $3.50 was made from
the sale. Every package sent in was
sold, and they could have sold more
if they had had them.
The new piano will be an Adam
Schaaf. bought from Russell, Moore
Piano Co., in Jackson.

IF YOU WAN
GOOD ROADS GO
TO POLLS NOV. Z

The people of the State of
Mississippi, will on the first
Tuesday after the first Mon
day of November, 1922,
which will be on November
7, next, the day of the gen.
eral election in the state,
have presented to them for
ratification or rejection, a
proposed amendment to the
Constitution of 1890. There
will be two amendments pre-
sented, but the proposition to
amend Section ITO of the
State Constitution, which
confers jurisdiction over
roads, ferries and bridges, is
the most important. The ex-
listing constitutional pro-
vision vests this jurisdiction
exclusively in the Boards of
Supervisors of the respect
i've counties of the State.
The proposed amendment
would provide that: "The
Legislature may have power
to designate certain high
ways as State Highways
and to place such highways
under the control and super
vision of the State Highway
Commission, ETC." This is
the proposition and there is
nothing vague, obscure or
reactionary about it.
1t is the duty of every man and
woman in Rankin County, and every
other county in the State. to go to
the polls on the 18th of November and
vote. This amendment is not only
for the good of the town people, but
for the country people too. You will
not be true Democrat unless you
go and vote.
Rankin is claSsed among the Bad
road counties of the State" There
is only one stretch of gravel road in
the county, and that is in Beat 1.
hi. II,
will build highways that cross the
State from both general directions
Years ago, it was considered dis
grace to see Il woman at the polls.
1t was big event for the men. There
was drinking, gambling. and bribing
of every sort. At that time, only a
very few men who were not well
educated, controlled their own vote.
They were bribed to vote as another
person wanted them to vote, and
half of the time, they did not know
who, nor what they were voting for.
And there was nothing but riot at
the polls.
Today, it is as safe for a woman
to be at the polls as for man. There
is none of the old way of doing, and
every one goes there, casts his or
her vote, and leaves.
You women of Rankin County,
don't let the men get ahead of you.
Go to the polls and vote for this
amendment!
There should not be a solitary vote
cast against the ratification of this
proposition, which the Legislature
has presented to the sovereign people
of Mississippi. The material pros
perity and advancement of the peo-
pie of this state is dependent on the
maintenance of permanent, effective
safe, well kept country roads, and
with such law as that proposed,
presented to them, it might be well
seriously and constantly to Think
on these things.
Let everybody go to the polls and
vote on November Z
