MAYOR WILSON RETURNS
FROM FRANCE.
Mayor J. L. Wilson, who served
six months with the American Red
Cross in France, arrived home
Sunday. He has been stationed
at the largest American hospital
in France and was very busy dur
ing the war. In conversations
with friends Mr. Wilson has told
some very interesting stories of the
war and the part the American
soldiers played in the struggle.
He is very enthusiastic about their
achievements and says that out
boys deserve the highest praise fot
their valor in the war that was
literally hell. He says that it li
simply impossible to tell in words
the horrors of the battle. He say!
that the masses of French anc
English have the greatest admira
tion for our boys and realize th<
part they played iu the defeat o
the Hun.
Mr. Wilson was ill with pneu
monia in London for several week:
after he left France for home, bu
he has regained bis health ant
looks better now than he has fo:
years. Our people are glad t(
have him with them again and hi
says he is mighty glad to be boon
once more.
The Delta cotton planters shoult
not forget that much of the cottoi
area of the South infested witl
boll weevil for several years pas
and producing practically no cot
ton, is again being planted in cot
ton. The ginners’ reports shov
counties in South Mississippi whicl
last year quadrupled the annua
production of several years pre
vious years. And this is the con
dition iu many sections of th
South. If the acreage of 1914 i
repeated this year and a good cro;
is produced the result will prov
a calamity to the South for th
price will almost surely be too lot
to be remunerative to the produce
with the present high cost of pre
duction aud high cost of living.

THEY SHALL NOT PERISH.
The American Committee for
Relief in the Near East is appeal
ing to the higher pattiotism and
philanthropy of the American
people lor $30,000,000, to aid the
4,000,000 exiles and refugees of
Asia Minor, Armenians, Syrians,
Persians, and Greeks, the majority
of whom are helpless women and
children- including 400,000 or
phans. There is probably today
no greater suffering than among
the persecuted people of Asia
Minor who have uo funds and can
not secure government loans and
have no other credit,” says Mr.
Hoover.
This humane organization is
principal agency for administering
relief funds in Near East, the Red
Cross having made large grants
hitherto, in order to avoid dupli
cation and lost motion. The ex
penses of collection anrf distribu
tion are met privately. Eevery
dollar given goes to save a life.
Mississippi is called on for
$150,000; Bolivar county'is asked
for $7000.
, Drive beging February !3rd for
one week. Give freely.
J. R. Bright.
Chairman Bolivar county.
R. S. McKnight, Gunnison,
County Treasurer.
STANLEY F. QAINE*
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
■ {
In this issue of the Democrat
will be found the announcement
of the Hon. Stanley F. Gaines,
who desires to be re-elected as a
member of the House of Represen
tatives in the State Legislature.
Mr. Gaines has been a member
of the Legislature during the past
three years and has served the
people of Bolivar count)' and the
State. During the time be served
as a member of the Lggsslature he
has gained knowledge of the pro
cedure practical ijf tout body that
is of great service tq members and
enables the initiated press tq suc
cessful passage measures that he
deems for the best interests of his
constituents.
When the United States entered
war Mr. Gaines volunteered and
was taken into the army, where
he did his bit until the armistice
was signed. He did not get to
France, but that was not his fault.
He offered himself freely. He is
in the same position that about
two million other soldiers are. If
the war had continued a while
longer they would have done their
part on the battlefields of France.
The voters will do well to con
sider his claims before they cast
their votes for Representatives.

TOCSINS.
From the current issue of the
Sunflower Tocsin we take editoiial
paragraphs as follows:
Our idea of oblivion is the place
where Bilbo will disappear to next
January.
This is a cheery old world for
every man and woman who knows
the joy of life.
One good thing about this bad
weather, it keeps the state politi
cians securely in their boles.
The world could not belong to
the Germans. The World belongs
, to those who have given it some
. treasure of peace, joy and worthy
. service.
Those of our citizens who fought
the good roads movement now have
1 a chance for some serious reflec
1 tions, which, if spoken, we would
1 not like to hear.
t
Since the government has been
. running the railways it is very
, difficult to sav whealher the train
, you see is the one due today or the
1 one that was to have come in yes
. jterday. _
