THREE MISSISSIP Plans TO QUIT
CONGRESS AT END OF SESSION
John Sharp Williams
Among the Three
Retiring

Washington, Feb. 21.-Three Of
the ten members Of the Mississippi
delegation in congress will retire
when the present congress expires
by limitation two weeks hence
Senator John Sharp Williams and
Representative T. U. Sisson, Of the
Fourth district, and Paul B. John
son, of the Sixth district, will be
the guest of honor at the final
function of the Mississippi society's
season.
Senator Williams will retire to his
plantation in Yazoo County after
% years of consecutive service in
congress, eight terms in the house,
where he served years as Demo-
cratic floor leader and two terms in
the senate.
Representative Sisson, who has
served IA years and was defeated
= in the primary last fall, has not an
nounced his plans, but it is under
stood that he will become head of
a large industrial company.
Representative johnson will resume
the practice of law in Hattiesburg.
He has served two terms and declin-
ed denomination for third.
Senator Williams has announced
that he is through with public office
and recently he put an effective
quietus on rumors that he might
become a candidate for governor
of Mississippi. It is believed that
representative Sission may try to
return to congress at some future
date, but he has made no annaunce-
ment of such intention. While Mr..
johnson has been discussed as a
possible candidate for governor, it
| is not believed that he will make
the race this year. In the same
connection, Representative Ben
Humphreys, Of the third district,
has eliminated himself from consid-
Grafton in the gubernatorial race
and will continue in congress.

Wilrnon Stuart
for Circuit Clerk

The Free Press is authorized to
announce Mr.. Wilmon Stuart for
the office of Circuit Clerk of Pearl
River County.
In announcing Mr.. Stuart, the
Picayune Item had the following
complimentary article:
"Mr. Wilmon Stuart, one of the
most prominent young men of the
county makes the statement that
he is a candidate for Circuit Clerk.
Mr.. Stuart is son of Mr.. Harvey
Stuart, a we'll known and dearly
loved resident of this county. Mr..
Stuart was born and reared in this
county, and has spent his entire
life here in the work he chose while
preparing himself for more respon-
sible places in life. For eight
years he has been teaching schools
in the county, and at the present
time he is engaged in that work
near Picayune. At present he is
president of the County Teachers
Association, a position of honor and
responsibility, which he is filling to
the credit of himself and the Asso-
citation.
In fraternal circles, Mr.. Stuart is
held in high esteem. Possibly there
is no man in the county his age,
80, who is honored more frequently
by the orders to which he belongs
than Wilmon Stuart. He is Past
Master of Moses Cook Lodge No.
Ill, F. A. & NJ. of Picayune. Past
Patron OF Picayune Chapter No. 80
O. E. S.; at present he is Scribe
of Picayune Chapter No. s39; he is
the present Illustrious Master Of
Picayune Council No. 81.
The election of Mr.. Stuart to
these positions reflect his popularity
and portrays an efficiency worthy
of consideration.
Mr.. Stuart has lived clean life
which needs no apology; sober,
morally clean, efficient and determ-
ined to forge ahead in life are the
characteristic fatures of the life Of
of this candidate all of which are
part ,of making trustworthy
official. We do not believe that
any one will say that Pearl River
County will not have good Cir
cult Clerk if Mr.. Stuart is elected.

e. E. Bass For
Superintendent

Believing that he has faithfully
kept every prediction promise, ant
that he has made good in the genera
conduct of the office, Charles E. Bass
is asking the voters of Pearl River
county to re-elect him to the office Of
County Superintendent of Education
Mr.. Bass states that it is upon his
record as County Superintendent, ane
that alone, that he asks for the priv
lege of succeeding himself for one
more term, and an opportunity to COM
plete some valuable work which he has
inaugurated for the betterment of the
schools of the county.
He desires that it be remembered
when he went into office at the begin
ming of his first term there were about
hundred small schools scattered over
the county, and that under his admin
istration practically every consolidat-
ed school in the county has been or
ganized, and that there are more con-
solidated schools in Pearl River than
any other county in the State, and
some of them the best in the State.
He calls attention to the fact that
under the former system Of 2za to 3
mill levy there was barely sufficient
revenue produced to run the schools
for..longer than five months, and that
he fathered the plan upon which the
people vote 5-mill levy. enabling the
schools to run seven and eight months.
He wants the people to keep in
mind that the present admirable meth
Cd of grading teachers was put into
practical operatiofkduring the present
term of office.
He calls attention that Pearl River
county has the distinction of having
more Smith Hughes schools than any
other county in Mississippi, and this
was accomplished in the past three
rand>a half years.
THE system of standardizing the
school, which is now in operation, was
begun recently, and he wishes to have
the opportunity dof finishing the work
which has begun so auspicicusly.
Mr. Bass completed his High School
work and afterward attended the
South Mississippi College, and did a
.goodly amount of work at Mississippi
College, and also good deal of cor
respondence school work. This, with
his experience in the affairs of the Of
flee, Mr. Bass thinks, eminently quail
fies him to continue in the service of
the people for another term.
Mr.. Bass is man Of high moral
character, a member of the Baptist
Church and prominent Mason.
He asks the voters to take only his
official record into consideration.
