NUMBER 40
HUNDREDS ATTEND
BIG SALES EVENT
Large Crowds Take Advantage
of Offers of Merchants
of Virgins.

The Virgins Advertising
Club, whose object is to create
better friendships and bring
about a better understanding
between the people of the town
and those of the adjoining COM
munities as we'll as to help solve
the marketing problem, made
it's first actual move towards
this end on last Friday when IA
automobiles loaded with bust
ness and professional men living
in Virgins went out over as
many routes carrying with them
an invitation to come to town
Monday and visit" as well as
inspect the stock that the Wig
gns merchants have to offer.
Hundreds of people availed
themselves of this opportunity
and Virgins did her best t.
make the visit an interesting
one for them. 1t was not a
selfish invitation that was ex-
tended, for the immediate DOL
lar was not the thing looked
for. The thing looked for was
a truer and more lasting under
standing and the men of this
club are doing .all in their power
towards cultivating this feeling
between the farmers and their
families and the town folks and
theirs.
The pretty Maypole dance,
the Boy Scout Maneuvers, the
big baseball game, the 20 piece
brass band from the Gulf Coast
Military Academy as well as the
free lemonade were among
some of the things provided for
the pleasure of the city's guests
that day.

BATSON FOR REELECTION
FOR BOARD FROM BEAT 2
To the voters of Beat Two:

To the voters of Beat Two:
Since my election to the
Board of Supervisors of Stone
County the intention of my
official acts have been with obe-
dience to it's laws and with safe
ty to the citizens. Since my
service on the Board, l have
given no thought of standing
for reelection and have told a
number of voters so, but lately
l have been asked by number
of voters to allow my name plac-
ed on the ticket for reelection
and I have consented to do so.
| claim the honor of helping to
place Stone County in a healthy
financial condition that will
compare favorably with the very
best counties of the state. Part
of Indebtedness of the county
has been paid, and a sinking
fund has been created to pay a
material part of the remaining
indebtedness. Not a dollar of
Indebtedness has been incurred
against the county since | have
beer on the Board. Under the
law there are funds belonging
to the county that must be loan
ed, and there are other funds
that may be loaned. We have
considered every loan very care
fully and I believe they are just
as safe as good security can
make them. | believe candl-
date should be considered by his
past achievements and not by
any promises he might be able
to make. The duties of super
visor is strictly a business pro-
position. They may be termed
committee of ways and means
to finance the general public. l
feel that I am thoroughly &C
ouainted with the needs and con-
ditions of the county and am
in a position to give better SER
vice in the future than | have in
the past. The question as to
who will serve you for the next
four years lies within the power
of the qualified electors, and
hope that each one will give the
matter an honest business-like
thought and vote for the man
who you think will give the
safest and most economical ad-
ministration. My official acts
are on record and l invite the
public whom I represent to make
& thorough investigation to my
votes recorded for and against
measures | thought for the best
interest of my beat and the pub
lie generally.
I shall feel very greatful tc
all who see fit to support me anc
promise, if elected, to give you
the best service it is possible fol
me to render.
Respectfully,
w. E. BATSON.

FARMS AND FARM
LABOR STORAGE

The MISSISSIPPI DeVelOpmenL
Boardshas issued the following:
Reliable and authentic figures
presented from various sources
prove. that the southern farm
labor situation is getting very
serious, caused by the inroads
made through labor agencies in
jucing the negro farm laborer
to enter factories in the North.

it's talks, has been. mississippi
Needs More People"
The Board knows Of only one
way to fight existing conditions,
outside Of the general plans pre-
sared by the Mississippi State
Chamber of Commerce at its
meeting held last week, and that
plan is to bring real Dirt Farm
ers," men who work with their
hands,. American born, white
citizens to Mississippi as a re-
prisal for what the Northern
Factories are doing to our farm
iabor situation
These should be gathered TO-
gether in groups of at least ten
SO as to have a cooperative
working force as we'll as mark
citing power, so as to produce in
quantities and to use jointly,
tie labor saving machinery now
found impossible on the present
small farm area in south Miss
issippi.
The Mississippi Development
Board has available, list con-
tanning the names of men, who
when mustered out of service at
the close of war, expressed a de-
sire to take advantage OF the
Governments offer to assist
them in securing a farm.
We have made a test during
the past thirty days as follows:
We wrote letter to fifty select
ed names in one prosperous mid
western state. Eleven letters
were returned for various rea-
sons, seven men are anxious to
get farms in the south. Two
are ready to come. They want
prices and terms on farms ready
to use. =,
Over 100000 persons from the
above mentioned list can be IN
terested if our test. holds good
for the rest of the list.
The Board cannot sell any IN
dividuals lands, but will help to
organize the various communl-
ties to do the selling and we can
do the advertising to better ad-
vantage and at less cost than
can any individual or single
community.
This article is an appeal to the
civic bodies and business men OF
the various communities in
south Mississippi. If it strikes
the eye of an interested indivl-
dual, take it up with us and let
us work together on our plan
which we know will bring re-
suits. 1t is up to south Miss
issippi communities to take ac-
ton.
