TIE veteran of the, Meridian
Mercury is getting alarmed be-
cause he thinks he has been mis-
understood in some Of his late anti
shotgun utterances. He has been
endorsed by several newspapers and
individuals on the proposition to allow
the negro a fair chance to vote, and he
seems TO think that inasmuch as these
views are received with approval there
must be something wrong in them.
As long as everybody opposes him he
knows he is right, but whenever he
says anything that happens ITO meet
up with an endorsement, forthwith
his suspicious are aroused, and he goes
immediately to work to modifying
and correcting and explaining away
all the virtue which was detected in
his position. If man wants to get
the Veteran on the right track and
keep him there for a few days, the
true way to do it is to watch and wait
until he accidentally founders on safe
ground, and Their pbhfce on him.
Opposition is the bread of life with
him. He will go straight for white
provided he Is stimulated by stubborn
objections from other parties. But he
won't allow anybody to go with
him. If people persist in moving in
the same direction he marks out, he
will turn round and go the other way.

see that the inuendOes cast upon him /
by small men are undeserved, and for
the purpose of showing the marked /
difference between an honest Demo-
