Governors Race

With the full knowledge that the
position / seek is the most impor-

people of our State, ! herewith an
nounce my candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor.
Upon the wisdom of your selection
rests the welfare of our State for at
least four years, and your only guide
post for faithful service is the char
acter of the servant whom you choose
His history alone will reflect that
character.
am a native of Grenada County,
Mississippi. 1 have been continuous
ly in the newspaper business all OF
my life. My activities in public life
and in an official capacity have been
born of a desire to free the people
of my State of the economic bondage
they inherited from the Civil War
and from which they still suffer most
acutely.
As Mayor of Senatobia, as Secre-
tary and afterwards Chairman of the
Tate County, and Secretary Of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
| tees, as member of the House OF
Representatives and as Lieutenant
Governor of Mississippi, I have en-
deavored to serve you faithfully and
to lend my every effort to bring
| about better conditions in our be-
| loved state.
1 have cast my vote with yours to
bring about the constructive meas
ures from which we have benefitte
in recent years. We have hardly
scratched the surface, however, 1t Is
distressing to realize that in a sec
tion of the nation that abounds in
raw materials that lend. themselves
easily to manufacturing we should
have the lowest income for our citi-
zens of any of the States. With the
largest amount Of native born Amer.
lean labor we do nothing to provide
them with employment
For years thousands of ambitious
boys and girls, educated at public
expense, have been compelled to leave
Mississippi to secure employment and
opportunity for advancement. Their
activities have enriched other sec
tions OF the Nation.
If you elect me your Governor,
will do my best to provide opportuni-
ties for the young men and women
Of our state that they may find sue
cess in life within the borders of
our State and will in turn aid in its
development. It can be done.

raw resources, and by securing CO.

Yuletide
Show er
By Elizabeth Eastman

WT WISH we could do something
= exciting = something different
at Christmas. Peggy looked out at
the winter landscape as she spoke.
"For instance?" Vivian Clark
glanced up from the magazine.
Something like making someone
terribly, tremendously happy" Peg
gy came closer to her sister as she
answered, and Vivian saw that she
was very much in earnest.
"I've been thinking" Peggy went
on, show wonderful 1t would be to
bring something thrilling - some
thing unforgettable-into someone's
life. / don't mean like helping with
the baskets and the entertainments
at the church; we've always done
that; but sort Of special some
thing, for one particular person."
For a minute youthful voices sur
rendered to silence. The gay little
clock on the dresser made audible
sound. Suddenly Peggy jumped to
her feet. "I've thought Of some
thing!" she. cried breathlessly,
something really different! You
know Sara Werby-she's been an in
valid for 10 years-shut in from the
world except for few friends who
run in every now and then"
"But what can we do for her? We
do visit her occasionally, and have
always taken her a little Christmas
gift. You know she's much too proud
to accept charity"
"Who's talking of charity? What I
have in mind is something that will
just thrill her. I'm going to write
to Mona Muir-you know, she runs
that department on the Star-and
I'm going to tell her how wonderful
Sara has been, and ask card Show
er for her"
Vivian whistled through her teeth.
'Well, that is grand idea, Peggy.
know she'll be thrilled" =.
"She's bound to be! Think Of the
postman stopping with loads and
loads of mail every day." Peggy's
blue eyes were dancing.
''But suppose people don't write?
You know how busy everyone is at
Christmas. Vivian's face reflected
the doubt in her words.
''But they will write," Peggy's
voice was emphatic. "I'm going to
hold the thought that Sara VERIFY
will be just swamped with mail"
TOGETHER they penned the let
ter to Mona Muir on the big city
papers Later, between snatches Of
shopping, they discussed the possi-
BILE number of cards and letters
that would be delivered at the lit
tie cottage on Bank street. They
both seemed to be more concerned

''Wait here" said Norwood.
O'Leary picked up q stick. He
Swallowed Norwood along the foot
path, until Norwood peered beneath
the waterfall. He had to stand on
a slippery ledge of rock. As O'Lea-
ry had foretold, the moons rays did
wanly penetrate, but it was torch
light that revealed the tunnel-mouth.
Norwood stood there for several
minutes watching spectral figures
dump blue clay from baskets, to be
carried away by the river.
"Look outl" yelled O'Leary.
Norwood jumped. A living cobra,
flung by an unseen hand, struck his
face-fell writing --struck-missed.
Norwood almost fell into the pool

Norwood changed into khaki and
followed O'Leary's lantern. O'Leary
was nervous, laxative, deliberately
disrespectful. Being only one-third
Irish, two-thirds of his turbulence
was assumed, not genuine. How
ever, Norwood understood that.
Someone" said O'Leary, ''must
have overheard us talking near the
palace gate. I was followed to camp.
Heard him. Couldn't see him. We're
followed now. They'll take your
number down unless you watch out.
