GETTING TALKED ABOUT
The
News
has had considerable to say during the past
months concerning the possibility of s ouring high class free publicity in
conjunction with the settlement and ,'evelopment of Mississippi cut-over
pine lands.
The state movement for the settl »ment and development of this vast
area, has as its strong feature the ways and means of securing not only
this free publicity but also large quantities of paid advertising without call
ing upon anyone in Mississippi for cash subscriptions, and only asking that
the large land
iwners set aside a small percentage of their immense idle
holdings for advertising purposes.
to
You have heard it said and it is true, that it is harder to make and
save the first thousand dollars than it is to make the next several thou
sand.
The same is true in settling a country,
few started, tiian it is to get others to follow,
will follow; and once they get to coming fast, they will follow like sheep.
It is harder to get the first settlers, than it is for the first settlers to write
back and induce their friends to Join them in their new home.
It is harder to get the first

It takes "PUBLICITY" and a whole lot of it to get an immigration
movement started.
Resources and advantages, water, soil, climate, are
good things to talk about, to give publicity to, but if they are not talked
about, if they are not given publicity how is the world to know about
them, and who will come to buy them? If large holders of vast acres of
cut-over lands are content to sit supinely still and wait for something to
turn up. they will die while they are waiting. Things don't turn up these
days; they have to be turned up. :
One result of this state movement in Mississippi is that Mississippi has
received more attention in the public prints during the last year than ever
before.

the South in which some kind things are said about Mississippi's cut-over

In commenting upon tlie show in
made by a number of different farm
ers in Mississippi, where the owners paid fTn their land in the cultivation
;
of one crop on a very small number o 1 »ores, the malinger of one of the
» agricultural experiment stations declares "when we succeed in making the
rest of the couni ry believe that these things can actually and generally be
accomplished, the rush to this country will be like tlie great rush of gold
t seekers to California."
Mississippi people must bear in mind, however, that we have much com
petition in Texas. Oklahoma, Georgia, and other Southern states, which
! have been far more progressive and have attracted a great deal more atten
tlon to their farm lands than have we.
It is no easy or economic thing to change the trend of immigration. It
takes a lot of money and a lot of "know-how." It takes an unusual amount
of the best sort of publicity. It must be somebody's business to direct and
secure that publicity and also to go Into the north and bring settlers.
If we have the opportunity to secure all these things in the best and
most effective form, let us he up and doing.
Get together and "start something."
Commissioner Hardy in discussin ; with a representative of The News

the last administration. "The last city administration.'' said Mr. Hardy,
"did not make, or rather did not leave any debts unpaid which were con |
- .traded during their terms of office. They conducted affairs practically on
a cash basis. The debt is an accumulation from several administrations
previous to the last one, and some of it dates back eight years, when the
first paid fire department was organized by Ihe-city and heavy expenditures
had to be made for fire wagons and equipment."

DECORATED HIS SHIP.
8ir John Had Little Paint and a Fine
Sense of Humor
It is not often the administration of
England's unval affairs is attended
with any humorous features, but on
one occasion at least an officer of the
royal navy contributed quaintly to th"
archives of the admiralty.
Once, before the days of steel ships,
the allowance of paint in the royal
navy was very small, and sometimes
the officers had to pay large sums in
order that their ships might maintain
decent appearance. Sir John Philli
more resorted to a funny expedient,
either to soften the heart of the navy
board or, if that proved Impossible,
to express his opinion. He painted one
side of his yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the olher side in
large letters, "No more paint!'*
The navy board wrote to call his
attention to the impropriety of his
con<Inct 1111(3 sl *» ed themselves, as
they did officially, "Your affectionate
friends." Sir John made reply that
