Your old tomatoes and pole
beans will last longer by mulch
ing. After a good rain if you
will lay from 4 to 6 inches of
pine straw, hay or heavy brown
paper on the ground this will
cause your soil to hold moisture
and prevent weeds and grass from
growing causing your beans and
tomatoes to last longer during the
summer.

A Great Vindication For Mississippi

Since started the publication of this newspaper
little more than ten years we have been writ
ing in this column from time to time that, despite what
all too apparent in frghtful incidents that
takes place from time to time within its borders and
despite the wide publicity given to the thesis which has
dominated Mississippi politics for the past seventy-fve
years. there still thousands of fine white people in
the State of Mississippi
Not only have been writing this from time to
time this column starting this paper but have
also been saying and repeating it from the public
trum both inside and outside the borders of the state,
during the period.
With us it is conclusion arrived at as result of
firm conviction and not, in cases among mem
bers of group, is it kind of instrument something
to be used to pry open the pockets of certain white peo
pie who offer kind of cash subsidy to Negro Leaders,
or Negro leaders socaed who write and speak the right
thing.
incidentally, said the same thing in the widely
reported speech made In Jackson Monday night before
the election, which part of the Newspaper His
tory of the state, although the news missed or
chose to leave that part of the speech part of
Mississippi Newspaper history.
What we have been writing and saying about there
being thousands of fine white people in the State of
Mississippi got great vndication not only in the near
equal vote on both sides in the second primary voting
August 28th, when for the first time in the history
of Mississippi politics candidate for the states highest
office had the courage to decry the ptting of race
against creed against creed and class against class
in seeking public office, but also in the action of Com
mittee of white citizens of McComb which lead TO the
indictment by u s. Grand Jury of the Pike County
Sheriff. and several of his deputies for beating young
Negro accused of crime in an attempt to force from him
a confession.
In regard to the voting in the second primary our
often repeated statement also includes the many among
those who wish to abide by the customs and traditions
of the State.
We say again here that there thousands of fine
white people in the State of Mississippi and to quote
again words given by great and distinguished AM
erican Jurst, despite tradition and history the in
teligent white people and the intelligent Negro people
OF the South learn to get together and discuss and solve
their problems at the local level the South and MISSISSIPPI
p can be made the greatest place the world for white
people and Negro people to live together in peace pro-
gress harmony and goodwill.

LIFE AT A

| heard two fellows discussing

Said one, when he dies his brains

In speaking of brains, nobody
puts his brain to greater use than
the modern scientists, trying to de-
wise means to raise the standard of
mankind. But at the same time,
these same scientists are racking
their brains trying to discover
quick way to snuff out the lives

Why there is medical researcher,

that human seed can be frozen

disprove the creation by Moses. My

But with all the abilities to for
