Its with deep regret that we
chronicle the departure Of DR.. H.
Il. Carr from this city this week.
DR.. Carr was one of the city's most
substantial citizens. He won the ad-
miration of hosts of friends, and
enjoyed lucrative practice as a.
physician and surgeon. He left here
for Ashville and Aberdeen North
Carolina, where he went to take
special work before entering the
tuberculosis Hospital at Sanitorium,
as specialists. We sincerely hated
to lose such splendid man, and
We hope that some day he will re-
turn to us.

y Mr. F. Leslie Dye, of Coffeevifle
gives us authority this week to an
nounce him as candidate for Chan
Gerry Clerk Of YAobusha County
subject to the action Of the Demo
cratic voters in the August pri-
maries.
Mr.. Dye is a splendid citizen OF
this county, and has many warm
and substantial friends, who have
prevailed upon him to make this
race. He is a qualified man, and his
honesty and sincerity of purpose
make him thoroughly fit to be en-
trusted with this responsible posi-
ton.
For the past year, he has been
connected with the firm of Marders
and Newberger at Oakland as book
keeper, and has won for himself the
admiration and respect of those he
has served.
He is making this race on his
own merits, and will appreciate the
support of the voters of the county.
We commend him to the voters
for their consideration.

Daijv News


Rush Knox, dist,irt attorney of
the Third district, will announce
Monday at Holly Springs for at
torney- general of the state.
Harry M. Bryan, Oxford attorney,
has been named as campaign man.
ager for H. L. Whitfield, guber-
natorial candidate.
Captain C. E. Dorroh, candidate
for lieutenant-governor has announ-
ced his withdrawal from the race
and left a, clear field to Dennis Muir
phree, Pittsboro editor and membe,
Of the legislature.
Sennett Conner, because Of his
pithy reply to the letter Of Governor
Lee N. Russell. has been gaining
ground over the state and has dub
bed Lester C. Franklin, one of his
opponents in the gubernatorial race
as Russell's "anointed Crown Prime.
These were the principal develop
ments Saturday in the coming state
election.
The announcement Of Rush Knox
district attorney will be made in
Holly Springs on Monday at the
courthouse when court opens there
Judge James G. MCGOWAN, forme,
opponent of Knox in the supreme
court race and in which Judge E.
Q. Sykes won by a narrow margin
has consented at the solicitation OF
Knox's friends to introduce the can
didste for attorney general. Othe,
candidates for offices in that dis.
tritt will announce at Holly Springs
Rush Knox is well known in
Jackson and in fact has been q
familiar figure in political cam
raigns in the state. He is considered
\ one Of the most vigorous campaign
Is in Mississippi. His opponents
--1re Clayton D. Potter, attorney
general by Russell's appointment te
fill an unexpired term, and Luther
M. Burch Of jackson.
Attorney General Potter has man.
friends over the state and ha:
strengthened his hold since becoming
attorney general. He is a former
supreme court justice. Although he
has been aligned with the admin
stration faction, General Potter has
supporters in both factions. Howeve,
the entry of Luther Burch, a Var.
daman proxy in the recent sena-
torial campaign, has caused much
consment of a division in the ranks
of that faction. Both General Pot
ter and Burch are members of the
Jackson bar.
The announcement of Rush Knox
according to the present outlook
will mean a victory for him. The
odds for his election to the office
of attorney general are big under
the present conditions.

Three car loads of home-seekers
en- route"
That was the head line of story
in the Vicksburg Herald Of Feb Z,
1923. Three carloads of people
were passing through on their way
to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas
to make their home. Eighty -one
persons were in the party, says the
Moss Point Advertiser.
Why did these people move to
Texas instead lof to Mississippi :?
Texas invited them and has had a
standing invitation for years. Paid
advertising. A Texas spirit. State
cooperation. Well prepared liter.
ture based on facts made known or
ly after expensive research into all
the problems of resources. A Texas
sold on Texas. An educational cam
paign carried on through the years
that has acquainted Texas folk 0
both advantages and dlsadVan'
tages. Texas faces facts.
Texas by the coordination of all
its advertising forces made al, in
crease in population Of 1877 per cent
or 766,686 people during the last
census period. Mississippi lost four
tenths of one per cent or 6,496 per-
sons. Yes, we know that negroes
left Mississippi and we also know
that negroes left Texas.
Texas is fifteen hundred miles
further from her market than Mis-
sissippi, but overcomes it by adver
tising and cooperation.
