Mr., Walter nj. Denny.

From the following extracts we take
it that Jackson county's candidate for
Congress has made II very favorable
impression where he has been:
The editor of the New South had
the extreme felicity Of meeting w. NJ.
Denny, Esq, of Scranton, Tuesday,
who called at the Office to pay his re.
spectS. Mr.. Denny has laudable aspi-
ratlons to serve the people Of the Sixth
Congressional District and is at
present on tour OF OBJ
servation rubbing up against the
people. The New South has no full
some eulOgics to bestow upon respect.
I've candidates, nor would it strike
down the aspirations OF any man, but
no one who has eve met Mr.. Denny
can fall to realize that he is a gentle
man who fully meets the conditions
and requirements which fit him for
the qualification of ambition and the
attainment of personal power. No
one, whether friend or foe, can doubt
his loyalty to the cardinal doctrines
and teachings OF the party, his clear
headed ability or unselhsh patriotism.
For tensyears he has been chanccry
clerk OF Jackson county. If Mr.. Den.
ny concludes to make the race he will
be a formidable candidate and have
no mean following. During his short
stay in Ellisville he made an excellent
Impression and is a cultured gentle
man with whom it is u pleasure to
converse. -Ellisyille New South.
Capt. W. M. Denny, Of Scranton.
was in town this week and paid US a
pleasant call. He is a candidate for
Congress from the sixth district, and
y out canyassing. While we are for
Stockdale first, last and all the time,
we were very much pleased with Capt.
Denny, and don't doubt that he may
make a first-rate run.
[Hattiesburg Democrat.
Capt. w. NJ. Denny, Jackson coun-
tvs clever and accommodating circuit
and Chancery clerk, was in Ellisville
Tuesday. While here lie gave the
News office a pleasant call. The OBJ
lect OF his visit to our town at this
time was for the purpose of making
the acquaintance Of our citizens and
to make known to them his candida
cy for Congress. From appearances,
Jackson county has, in the person of
Denny, a gentleman of merit
and the highest integrity, and who is
very popular all along the coast. He

MR.. WALTER NJ. DENNY.

We announce this week as a candI.
date for Congress to succeed Col. Thos,
X. Stockdalc, the present member
from this district, Mr.. Walter NJ.
Denny, OF this county. Mr.. Denny,
was born at Moss Point, this county,
IN 1853. His education was obtained
In The common schools here and at
Roanoke college, Virginia, and in 1874
he graduated from thelaw department,
OF the University of Mississippi. AZ
ter completing his legal studies he
abandoned the idea of practiclng the
profession and embarked in the lum-
Der trade as an employe of his father.
Mr.. Walter Denny. He also invested
In the mercantile business and was
thus occupied until 1888, when he was
elected to the Office Of circuit and
%chancery clerk. AS an efficient and
reliable official that position he still
holds, dischargIng the duties to the
complete satisfaction of our people.
lie is in the prime of life, and is in
every way fitted for official duties. Tn
1870 he was elected as a delegate to
the State Constitutional Convention,
wherein he conducted himself with
honor and credit. He was married in
1875 to Miss Huldah Randall, at Moss
Point and they are the parents of
eight children. He IS a PRESBYTERIAN
INNS religious belief.
In pre- 'enting his name for Congress
jackson county people feel that they
endorse a man eminently fit for the
l'lgh position ; one who has the abili-
ty, the s~oun1ness OF opinions and the
courage to deal with the public ques-
tons that Will reflect the interests Of
this district and State.

The WaHhali Succession.

The senatorial deadlock is still on
at jackson, with but little or no clue
to an early election. For about nine
days the caucuses have been held and
since Tuesday the question has been
voted on by the Legislature. The
number CT candidates has been reduc-
ed to four-Campbell, McLaurln,
Lowry and Taylor. The last ballot
Wednesday in the caucus gave Nc
Laurin II, Campbell 20, Lowry 26,
Taylor 81. Frank Burkitt receives
the Populite vote in the Legislature.
There are scattering votes for various
candidates, and Stones receives a COM
plimentary votes of about Is on each
ballot, from such members as Street,
Vardaman, Maybin, Williamson, Ne
kie, Lancaster and Others, and it is
thought that the Legislature will yet
listen to the volce of Misslssippi's
and nominate the Governor,
notwithstanding his withdrawal.
The people want Stone.

The interests of lumber in relation
to the Wilson tariff bill have been
but nominally discussed, but a staff
correspondent Of the Manufacturers
Record, in an interview with Il pomi-
nent Alabama lumbcrman, shows that
an earnest effort has been made in
Washington to change that section
putting lumber on the free list. 1t is
stated that it would close down at
least Is per cent of the Southern saw
mills which stand fer $50, 500, 900 Of
money invested and have dependent
upon them 10000 900 persons. The
lumber manufacturers in the South.
this lumbcrman says, were in a fairly
prosperous condition up to the time
when the tariff on Canadian lumber
was reduced to 81 per 1000 feet. DON
after which the effect was felt, and
prices as well as the demand began to
decrease, and continued to do so until
the panic came on last summer. It is
Il matter of fact that the lumber bus.
mess throughout the country is not
to say prospecting, and whether the
new tariff schedule that is likely to
pass as indicted by the committee. is
to so seriously cripple it as claimed,
to be seen.

A declaration of marriage in Siam
Is simpler even than it used to be in
Scotland. You ask Il lady to marry
you by merely offering her a flower or
taking a light from a cigarette, If It
happens to be in her mouth ; and your
family and the brides family have to
put up at least $1,000 apiece for a
dowry. Unlike Japan, the Siamese
women are treated as equals, but can
seldom read or write. The principal
impeachment in the way of marriage
is that each year is named after an
and only certain animals are
allowed to %intermarry. For instance,
a person born in the year of the rat
cannot marry with a person born in
the year of the dog, or a person born
in the year of a COW with a person
born in the year OF the tiger and
there are similar embargos about
months and days.
