The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-03-22

One Of the strongest and most prac-
tlcal writer's In Mississippi is DR.. b. II
Passmore. Of Madison county. DR..
Passmore has been for years farmer
and physician, and a man of affairs
generally. In 1891. during the fight
Tor the United States senate between
Major Barksdale, who contested the
re election OF Senator George, making
the sub-treasury his shiboleth, Dr.
Passmore was member of the state
alliance executive committee. ID. Pass
more, with Hon. j. III. Beaman, of
Scott county, who was chairman of
that committee. opposed the sub-treas-
nry, while Messrs. Casey, Dyer and
Millsups, the two latter having since
Joined the populite pal ty, favored that
scheme. Over his own signature in |
the public prints Dr.. Passmore present
ed some of the most powerful argu-
ments against that measure, which
was overwhelmed. Like many others
who opposed the sub-treasury, DR..
Passmore also opposed the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. DR.. Pass
more is now editor of the Canton
TINES, and the following editorial
from his pen, under the caption of
'.Give IL Reason" will be read with in
terest.-The Picayune Bureau, jack
son, Miss.
The editorial alluded to follows, but
as it has been published in the TIMES,
we do not append it. We have delib- q
Grated some time before coming to S
to publish the above ex- il
tract, believing that by many, such !
course would be attributed TO an over n
veening egotisn, but as many of our S
eaders never see the Pcayune, we c
want them to know what capable v
Judges think of the man who presumes p
0 mold public sentiment in our coun- g
y. There is no man but what is pleas re
to hear good said of him, especial fo
' when he is an earnest, conscien. p;
Gus la borer for the good and better Ii
tent of humanity, hence, while the 81
oove compliment is pleasing to us, it yt
pes not turn our head in the least, we dc
e too old and too firmly rooted in our bu
ays to be influenced or swerved from pr
If course by either praise or censure. su
e have passed through ordeals that an
led men S souls and courage, and it re;
the proudest satisfaction of our life fal
at however widely we may have de-
fered, and however misunderstood the
all the heat OF the strifes political gel
that has transpired in our county pol
d state, the integrity of our pur- to
Sc has never been questioned by the We
,ple OF our county. Today and for ing
II onward as in the past, we shall you
ID the even tenor of our way in on
hit lines, and the TIMES, as long as will
ltrolled by US, sdall stand for what will
ound and prtriotic aud fair in poll fair
J, regardless of consequences, and rea
J. carry into every house it enters, of G
t which is pure, entertaining and we
rating. The fairest and purest OF hop
rs creation shall never blush for VI 0
me from reading its columns; or all !
ibe vicious ideas therefrom. We
md that the TIMES shall be model
'spaper, indispensable to every A,
lily in our county, because it shall wea
JAIN the fullest amount OF county men

AIRY, agricultural, political, and drea
to the people in their daily lives, Unc
to this end we want the support the |
approval of all good men and ern
