LONGING FOR GOVERNOR.
The Mayersville Spectator Says
He Will be a Candidate.

Will Longino be candidate for
Governor?
This has been asked by hundreds of
people for some time. We will answer
in plain words. He will be. He has
not yet announced himself, but he will
in very short time.
From all over the State comes ap-
peals for him to enter the race. 1t
looks as if he will lead the race with a
considerable majority. 1t is plain to
be seen why this is. Judge Longino is
man with a clean record. He hates
no man, and would not enter the race
had he to run upon a platform that
requires vilification of his fellow-men
He bears no mans burdens and is
fighting no man. He believes in a
clean, gentlemanly canvass and will
not stoop to the low degree of believ-
ing that the party of his birth is filed
with demogogues, from the Supreme
sense of the word. He was raised in
the hills and is known by those people
to be just man. He lives in the
Delta and is loved to degree of devo-
tion by it's people. He will make
Mississippi fair and just governor,
and being man of business sense he
would give the State an administration
that any commonwealth would be
proud of. He is a man of wonderful
courage, full of vim and brains.
With this much known of the man
he is bound to be nominated. Meyers
rille Spectator.
AS We see it, Longino is better man
for governor than anyone so far an.
nounced, and if he becomes a candi
date THE LEADER will give him its
hearty support.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller ON a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment ON them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people

certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for

ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by c. e. Grafton.
