 The vote on passage was unani- nous, 69 to 0, the measure going through without material amend ment. The vote, however, was not made unanimous until Senator Nor beck, republican, South Dakota, had withdrawn lone negative vote, ex- planning that he would be a good fellow"

WASHINGTON BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD Wasl1inRton. D. C.. Feb, 2


 When Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama returns to the United States after a four months trip to Europe to be initiated when Con- gress adjourns March {, he will give serious and thorough consideration to the friendly suggestions that he enter .he fight for the presidential nomination of our party"
 To that effect the senator today replied to the legislature of Ala bama which adopted the resolution of Representative ". M. Coleman Of Marshall county. reciting his avail ability and calling upon the next con vention to nominate him.
 The senator was deeply affected by the resolution and the manner of its quick and unanimous adoption. In his letter the senator said that he had always felt that there is nc honor that has ever come to me in my public career that was greater than the honor given me by my home people in 1912 when the Ala bama delegation to the Baltimore convention voted for me for the presidential nomination through 45 ballots"
 In addition to that of the Alabama legislature, suggestions from various other sources have reached the sen- ator in the last several weeks. It Is known that he has already given some thought to the situation. His friends have informed him that the trend IS against the republican party and that the country as a whole, Is not ready to respond to the radi. calism that has found expression in the middle west.
 It has been suggested that the time is ripe for the nomination of "one too conservative to be radical and too progressive to be reaction ary"
 The senator will make a more def mite statement during the summer.

AS another aid in reducing weevil

removing any old weevil- eaten corn

While doing this is a good time to

URGES NEGROES To REMAIN
IN THE SOUTH.

We are printing below, just as
we received 1t, letter from Matte
Rivers Of. Langford, urging the
negro to remain in the South. It is
to be hoped that every negro In
Rankin will have the opportunity
of reading this letter.
1t tells in. language clear and
forceful the trials of the southern
darby who emigrates north. The
letter follows:
ITO my colored friends of Rankin
County let me say to you, one and
all, put down this Northern fever
and settle yourselves down at your
homes and be happy and cOntented,
for the Sunny South Is the place
for the American negro.
For the past two years, after
marrying man in Missouri, l have
learned much about the conditions
and customs of the North. Having
been born and reared in Rankin
County | already knew the habits
and customs of the South.
I'm the North the negro must be
city dweller, for there Is no de-
mand for them on the farm. The
most laborious work that the white
man doesn't care to do is offered to
the negro, and owing TO the high
cost of city life they are compelled
to take advantage of this drudgery
In the South we have all the oppor-
tunity needed to make an honest
living, and some good privileges,
such as religion and education, If we
make the proper use of them. So
far as opposition we may expect
that all through life af any place we
may roam, but If we learn to play
well our part in every respect it will
only make us well proven men and
women.
THE sooner that we as a race
realize that God is at the head of all
affairs, and accept Him as our guide
and protection, and make ourselves
cOntented with our present cOndi-
tons of life until He sees fit to
make matters better for us, the
happier we will be as people In
this South land.

EAST AND WEST HIGHWAY.

1t is with a great deal of pleasure
that we are able to announce
through the news columns this week
the story of the letting Of the con-
tracts for building the great East and
West Highway through Rankin
county.
The contracts were signed last Fri
day afternoon at the court house in
Brandon by both contractors and the
Rankin county Board of Supervisors
in the presence of one of the largest
crowds ever assembled at the
county capital.
The thought that presents itself
now is that every man and woman
in Rankin county should begin on
campaign of boosting that Will
broadcast the opportunities and pos
sibilities of our county to the
farthereSt ends of the continent.
Sectional strife should be for
gotten. We are on the eve of the
greatest forward stride in our his
greatest aim if one part of the
county is arrayed against another.
We should accept it as blessed
privilege to be permitted to work
for the advancement of the whole
county 1t is a duty we owe to
the memory of our fOrefathers who
gave to the name of Rankin a glory
that has not departed with the
passing years.
If the county has not progressed
as it should the past few years 1t Is
largely the fault of the present gen
Grafton. 1t is time now that we
corrected this, and it can be done
if we put our shoulder to the wheel
and do our very level best.
