CAMPAIGN
Chicago April S.-To-day marked the practical
wndup Of what has been in many respects one Of

They are Carter II. Harrison. regular Democrat;
Judge Nathaniel c. Sears regular Republican;
Washington Hesing, Independent Gold Democrat;
John NJ Harlan. Independent Republican; j. Irving

The news came last night that
the managers OF the Fulton Cotton
Mills, in Atlanta, have already re-;
pented of their attempt to force ne.
gro operatives upon the white fe-
male employees and to compel them
to work together. 1t was DAM
gerous experiment and will not
succeed in the South, because 1t
will not be submitted to. Cotton
manufacturers may I'll up their
mills with negroes if they will; but
they will not be able to force white
women to work with negroes.
Some people seem to hold the
opinion that when white people OF
either sex find it necessary TO
work tor livelihood, they are at
once reduced below the level OF
social recognition, and no longer
entitled TO any consideration, and
may be forced to work with ne
groes and be treated as negroes.
Persons who entertain snch nos
lions do go at their peril. That ls
most dangerous doctrine to hold
as an opinion, and it cannot be

UNDER the head of "Yankey
Tributes to George" in the Com
mercial Appeal, the following Is
told of Senator George:
The dead man was eminently 90.
nestle and passionately loved
his wife, who was one of The most
charming women in the land OF
charming women. They were al
ways together, and nearly all his
success in life was due to her.
His high ideals of duty to ones
self and ones country came from
her, and she saw that he lived up
to them. He had beautiful home,
two miles from Carrollton, where,
when not in Washington, he ,hyeG
the simple life of country gentle
man. There, in a building apart
from the family residence, he had
one of the largest Libraries in the
South. Mrs. George was deeply
religious and the senator had been
an agnostic. She placed a neigh
boring Baptist minister upon MS
trail and he got no peace. AT meal
times, in his library, in the fields, on
his visits to the county seat, the
minister bobbed up serenely ana
exhorted him to come into the fold'

of the woods on his right hand and
began. They came to creek and
crossed it. 1t was, in the senator's
language, "saddle.pocket Deep"
On the further bank he dismount-

The minister looked at him doubts
fully. He feared personal ems

was winter time, but the venerable
statesman would not be denied.
The two men waded into the icy
water up to their armpits, and the
ceremony was performed. Senator
GEORGE clined into his saddle and
looked down on the shivering evan
gelist. Now, he saio, "you go

yALEDICTORY.

The whirligig of time brings, in
the life experience OF every one,
many changes-a sad and unex-
pecled one falling co our lot some
days ago. The material OF the
FREE PRESS, which belonged to
Others, has been sold, and the for.
tunes of the paper will in the fu-
ture be guided by other hands than
ours.
We have conscientlously per.
formed every duty to the best OF
our ability; we have constantly
toiled day and night, IN season
and out of season, and have always
brought the paper out promptly on
time for the past six years and a
half. Our fondest hope has been
to live permanently in Poplarvllle,
and that the final summons that
comes 20 al: would find us in news
paper harness here. But fate wills
it otherwise, and we shall try to
find consolation in the thought that
everything is for the best.
Our connection with the press
has been pleasant, indeed, and We
do not remember of ever having
received az unkind cut from an
editorial pen. We have made
many warm and dear friends here
and else where, and heartfelt thanks
are now returned for their many
courtesies and thoughtful acts OF
kindness, The ladies and scores
of the younger people of this
community shall always occupy the
most sacred niche in our heart
The FREE PRESS will be in ex.
perlenced hands, and will continue
to labor for the special upbuilding
of Poplaryille, Pearl River county
and the State of Mississippi.

we shall be employed we know
not; but wherever it may be. Pop
larville friends shall never be for
gotten. Again we say farewell
