Plant Peddler Arrested
Tate County Stops Sale of Diseased
Plants.

A. E. M. College, Miss, July TO-
That the citizens of Coldwater and
Tate County are solidly supporting
the State Plant Board in its efforts
to prevent the sale of diseased po-
tato plants and nursery stock In
Mississippi, was shown last week
when a beddler from Memphis was
arrested while selling uncertified
potato plants on the streets of Cold
water.
Examination of the peddler's
plants by Inspector T. F. McGehee,
of the Plant Board, showed the very
first bundle examined to he black
rot. AS the peddler has been pre-
viouslv warned not to sell uncertl-
fled plants in Mississippi, the city
officials of Coldwater did not hesi-
tate in Furnishing such deliberate
violation of the State Plant Act ane
promptly fined him $25 and costs OF
the court, a total of $31.
Commenting on the action Of the
court, R. w. Harmed. State Entomo-
logist, says that with local officials
cooperating so promptly and effec-
lively with the Plant Board, it will
be only short time until peddlers OF
diseased plants and fraudulent fruit
tree agents will learn to keep out OF
Mississippi. 1t is certain that the
Plant Board has prevented the sale
Of thousands and thousands of dol
lars worth of diseased potato plants
in Mississippi during the past year
or two. The cooperation of express
companies and postmasters with the
inspectors of the Board has largely
stopped the entrance of diseased
plants by express and parcel post,
leaving the itinerant peddler with 2
wagon or truck as the only means
of getting diseased plants into the
State, and the prompt action OF
local authorities bids fair to stop
this means also.

Carl Marshall Makes
aking Speech.

Purvis, Miss, July 12.--It is
claimed by many who heard him
that the speech of Carl Marshall of
Bay st. Louis, candidate for State
Senator from this district, composed
of Lamar. Pearl River and Hancock,
was one of the most brilliant ever
heard here. Mr.. Marshall spoke at
the court house Tuesday morning and
his speech was roundly applauded.
He stated that he has had Is years
of practicable law practice, and that
his only reason for running for Of
flee was the urgent demand upon
his patriotism made by his neighbors
of the gulf coast section, who know
that he does not need the office.
He added that if he did need it he
shouldn't have it. 1t is known that
the state senator this year must
come from Hancock County. Mr..
Marshall was late getting in the
race, but he has gone actively into
the canvass, and while here obtained
numerous assurances Of support. Mr..
Marshall is highly educated, being a
graduate of the University of Vir-
ginia, at one time the leading uni
versity of the south If elected,
he claims that he will throw into
the position of State Senator the
same energy and successful construc-
tive methods hes has used in building
his own business as lawyer with
wide practice-Purvis Booster.

ing flour for state institutions from
"Chamber of Commerce mills"
Roy Frazier of Divide moved as
an amendment that I'VE further con-
denim the purchase of Canadian
wheat" He accepted an amendment
to make it foreign wheat. Then de-
bate began.
A. A. Liederbach objected. He de-
clared that "if we pledge support to
the manager of the mill and be
found it advantageous to buy Cana
dian wheat and We adopt a resolu-
tion condemning it we are not pledg-
ing HIND support"
Another speaker declared keen
competition had forced Mr.. Austin
to make superior grade~ Of flour
and he had to buy Canadian wheat
to do it.
Rep. Mrs. Minriie Craig said that a
manager for the mill had been hired
and 'now you are up to old tricks,
trying to tell him how to run it."
A viva voce vote resulted in the
Frazier amendment being voted
down, but when division was called
for, discussion was resumed.
1t appeared -that the convention
would support the purchase Of Cana
dian wheat until Congressman J. H.
Sinclair arose and declared that the
convention was trying to hand Mr..
Austin a little taffy ~ the resolu-
ton. He asserted that the mill was
established to buy North Dakota
wheat. 'tIf he has to buy Canadian
wheat to save six cents bushel then
we'd better go out Of business" the
Congressman said.
Alfred Dale offered a substitute
motion which condemned the man.
agement Of the mill board, left out
mention of Austin's name and con-
demned purchase of Canadian wheat.
1t was carried but with many vot-
ing "no."
Debate On Paper
There also was debate when
amendment was asked to the resolu-
tion declaring support for the state
weekly newspaper to be established.

A. A. Liederbach said he did not
want the delegates to pledge to- buy
stock until they saw what the policy
would be. The convention finally
adopted strong resolution of sup
port for the paper.
Alfred Knutson offered in a long
resolution the platform of the Fed
Grated Farmer-Labor Party.
Judge Grace rose to object, declar-
ing part of it was un-American.
"You have no right to take one
mans farm away and give it to an
other" he said.
The discussion did not proceed
and the resolution was voted down.
Previous to the session on resolu-
tions. several men made talks.
E. G. Larson of Aneta attacked the
federal reserve system, declaring
that the bankers fell into the biggest
trap ever set for them in supporting
it.
He declared things would not be
righted until Henry Ford was elect
ed president and tie monetery sys-
tenn revised.
There was some applause at the
mention Of Ford's name.
J. A. Gray of Lisbon, speaking,
mentioned Ford and a laugh resulted
and then when he proposed Senator
LaFollette for Pres dent there were
loud cheers.
A. A. Liedelbach said that the
Standard Oil and other big trusts
had made money by controlling pro-
duction. He said that California
fruit growers were making money by
limiting production. He urged tina,
