FOR CONGRESSMAN. FOURTH DISTRICT:
WM. C. WARD, of Montgomery County.
C. E. FRANKLIN, of Pontotoc county.
T. U. SISSON, of Montgomery County (for re-election).
We will Wilson Hughes and Marshall Fairbanks.
Congratulations to the people of district five who have pushed
the Consolidated School to a successful issue. It is a credit to the
forethought and the wisdom of those who initiated the movement
and we hazard the statement that it is the biggest and best invest
ment the people of that part of the county ever made. They will
realize greater dividends upon what the enterprise will cost than
upon any money they ever handled.
P'rom August 1, 1915, to June 24 of this year, there has been
045,000 bales of cotton brought into sight, or about one half million
bales less than for the previous twelve months. Statistics show
that of this amount 6,68c,ooo bales had been taken by American
mills or nearly 850,000 bales more than for the same period of
1914-15 Southern mills took nearly 500,000 bales more than the
previous year and Northern mills nearly 200,000 bales less.
12,
The Amory Times, in an effort to defend Senator Vardaman's
opposition to the Democratic administration and his failure to co
operate with his party on the "Ship-purchase" bill, refers to the bill
as the "Ship-subsidy" bill. We are sure that our good friend. Bene,
the able editor of the Times, must have been away from home or
else so grave an error would never have been allowed to slip into
his editorial columns. There was no "ship-subsidy" bill before this
Congress or the last.
And the old whiskey dopers are making another stand in their ef
fort to get the liquor law passed by the legislature referred to the 1
people. They are a poor bunch to stand for righteousness or the
"welfare of the people." What they are doing just means another
nail driven in the box where they will be ere long lorever consigned
to oblivion. The saloon has sounded its own death knell; it has
written its own epitaph, Mississippi will take no backward step in
what the churches, the fraternal orders, the good women and a vast
majority of the best citizenship of the state have attained in their
fight against liquor. The battle cry is onward, not backward, and
those who are aiding or abetting the whiskey interests in this fight
bad best beware when they ask the people to trust them with official
honors.
THK BOARD NEEDS CO-OPERATION.
Tht board of supervisors last Friday sold the $100,000 in road
bonds to the Grenada Bank of this city at a premium of $1,500,00.
It was a good sale and we are pleased to note this, another step for
ward in the laying of a permanent prosperity for the county. Now
that the money is to be had, the next, the most important, question
is the matter of spending it The board of supervisors are entitled
to the aid and the co-operation of the people of the county and it is
hoped that all matters will be approached in a spirit of broadmind
edness and unselfishness, for only in this way can wise and discreet
action be had. If there is no "pulling'' and "hauling" of the board
by the public, we believe that that body, acting with the advisory
committee, will see that every part of the county is duly taken care
of. Let's reason together so that what is done today will not rise
tomorrow to make us regret it. It is a delicate and perhaps the
most important proposition that a board of supervisors of this
ty ever had to handle.
THE PETITIONS FOR REFERENDUM ELECTIONS.
The petitions only recently filed with the Secretary of State
asking that two of the laws passed by the last legislature be referred
to the people show the absolute mollycodliness of the Referendum.
The Referendum in a Democrecy such as we have is a blind con
ceived either in the cranium of a soft brain or in the machinations of
the unscrupulous politician. When by the latter it is expected that
the people will be more easily led to where their ballots can be
gathered, thereby making sure of the elevation to official power of
. incompetents, nincompoops and the fellow without backbone
gray matter and whose skull would burst if an original idea even
lingered in it for one moment. It is a combination of ideas from
Mesopotamia and Tallarallypoodle without eyes to see or legs to
stand upon.
As we understand, the amendment seeking to engraft the Ref
erendum into the constitution, was never legally adopted, and, if
this be correct, it is not legally in the constitution and should have
no mort bearing upon what the state does than the mutterings of
the baboon in the jungles of Africa. Those who got out an injunc
tion to stop an election should have asked for the surgeon's knife to
take the incubus out of, or off, perhaps it would be better to say, the
constitution. We hope those responsible for putting it there will
get that part of their anatomy full where the green apples
