MANY years of intimate and pro

Mr.. Knox is big enough and broad
enough, and has ample common

WEEKLY LETTER FROM
DEPT OF EDUCATION
CIV. F. Bond, Supt,)

People generally should insist
that all candidates for state and
county offices pitch their campaigns
on high plane. Especially should
the candidates for the office of coun-
ty superintendent Of education be
careful to set good example along
this line, for they are offering them
selves as persons suitable In every
way to be leaders of the children
in their respective counties. The
state has suffered a good deal on
account of mud singing in politics.

lSCOTTIST RITE ASSN
ENTERTAINED AT ORVISB'G

The Poplarville Scottish Rite AS
Esociation appears to be haunted by
some sort of a weather jinx.
The organization has a regular
meeting every month and on that
particular evening the weather bur-
eau proceeds to hand out one of the
widest, windiest, wettest nights
that it has listed on it's monthly
menu card.
Thirty days ago the meeting was
held at the home of Fred w. Smith
and some of the members were near
ly blown away and others narrow
ly missed drowning in their efforts
to make the appointment.
Last Friday evening the invitation
was to meet with D. P. Kennedy, at
Orvisburg, and again the weather
man handed out a rotten night. But,
despite the bowling winds and the
descending torrents and the Kissing
lightning, fourteen members braved
the elements and foregathered at
Mr.. Kennedy's hospitable home.
Those present report a most en-
joyahle occasion. Matters Of in
terest to- the Association were dis
cussed,. and plans for the building
of Masonic Temple by the Asso-
citation and Blue Lodge jointly were
more fully elaborated.
In this connection it is understood
that Brother Sam Seidler, always
liberal in every good cause, and es-
pecially lavish in whatsoever ap-
pertaineth unto Masonry, went down
on the subscription list for five
bucks, so to give the cause
q good healthy start.
Before adjournment the guests
were served delicious refreshments
by Mrs. Kennedy. "

NOTES OF INTEREST
TO THE FARMER
By E. B. Ferris.

The week ending May 10Th, has
been a very unfavorably one for the
farmers of this section. Following a
two and one-half inch rain last
Sunday we had practically a three
inch rain on Tuesday and one and
three-fouths inches on Saturday
and the three were very destructive
to plowed lands that were not
thoroughly protected by hillside
bitches. Such lands after such
rains emphasize the Importance of
leaving very rolling lands to other
uses than the growing of cultivated
crops. It is possible by doing suf-
ficient work to protect nearly any
Land from surface erosion, but it
will frequently cost more than the
land is worth when SO protected.
All such lands, if cleared at all,
should be devoted to sod crops, pre-
ferably pasture plants, where the
soil will not have to be broken every
year. Really the ideal way to have
handled such lands would have been
as permanent wood lots for the
growing Of trees, and the pasturage
that might have been afforded
among such trees.
However, since many such lands
have already been brought in TO
cultivation in South Mississippi, we
would like to emphasize the i'm
portance of devoting such lands
either to the production or pasture
crops or hay crops like oats and
lespedeza that do not require culti-
vation..
There is a great deal of agitation
in the South now about the loss OF
farm labor. Labor like water seeks
it's level, and if farm work cannot
use labor profitably at something
near the same price that factories
pay it, naturally this labor will
drift away from the farm. This
lis just Is it should be and no
amount Of discussion will ever
change it. It is fundamental and
until it takes place sufficiently
either to bring up the price of farm
products or to lower the price OF
factory products it will surely con-
tinue.
One prime cause for the low pro-
duction Of farm products per man
in the South, is the fact that we
are trying to cultivate too many
lands that are not worth cultivat-
ing under present conditions. Many
of these lands, notably the ones
mentioned 'as being to rolling, should
either Be put back to pine trees
or devoted to growing crops for 9
better type Of live stock.

sissippi yere some too rolling fol

SENNETT CONNER MEETS
WITH WARM RECEPTION
FREQUENT BURSTS APPLAUSE GREET CANDIDATE GOV
ERNOR IN ADDRESS BEFORE YAzOO AUDIENCE

| Hon. Sennett Conner, speaker od
the house of representatives in the
Mississippi legislature and prominen'
candidate for governor, spoke to d
large audience at the court house
in Yazoo City last Monday night.
His reception was enthusiastic and
his speech was punctuated with
frequent bursts Of applause a. he
made points that met with almost
unanimous approval Of his audience
Mr.. Conner was introduced in a
graceful manner by q former class
mate and close friend, Hon. L. J.
Wise. Mr.. Wise paid a glowing
tribute to his friend in short IN
PRODUCTION, touching upon the events
in Mr.. Corners public career.
At the outset Of his speech Mr.,
Conner stated that his was to be. a
purely business talk on state af-
fairs, and he hewed strictly to this
line, pleading with his audience to
forget factonal politics and vote for
Ia purely business administration Of
the high office Of governor of Mis-
sissippi. Personalities did not enter
into the message at any point. The
records as they exist, both in the
legislature and in other public doc
uments, were frequently referred to
by the speaker to bring home his
points to the audience.
Mr.. Conner said he thought there
were three essential tests by which
the candidates for the office of gov
|ernor Of Mississippi should be judi
ged, and he asked the voters to
subject all of the candidates to
them, himself included. First, he
said, their character, reputation and
integrity should be looked into. No
man, he said, should be elected to-
this high office who could not show
that his public and private life is
clean, and that he bears good rep
Iutation in the community in which
he resides.
Second, Mr.. Conner said, the can
didates should have some knowledge
of the condition of the affairs of the
state of Mississippi and should put
forth their recommendations for
remedial measures. He said that
man would not have faith in a ply
sician who, when called to the bed
side of a patient, would tell that pa
tient that he was very sick man,
had this, that or the other symptoms
and then walk out. He simply used
this as an illustration of what has
transpired in the past in Mississippi
affairs of the state.
Third, and Mr.. Conner said in his
opinion that this is the acid test of
them all-what has been the record
of the candidate in the past on leg
islature questions that effect affairs
of state, particularly in regard to
taxation. He delved into the re-
cords here, showing what certain
other candidates had done in the
past, and where his own record bears
out his statements that he has al
