OUR NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR

A few Senator's like Chas. Scott,
w. q. Yerger, Leroy Percy, or
Murray Smith, would redeem
Mississippi from the humiliating
position she now holds in nat
ional estimation. &C eenvill le
Times.
Col. William G. Yerger should
be the next United States Senator
from Mississippi. The other gen
tleman mentioned by the Times
are all loyal Democrats, and as
such support the party and its
nominees. But Col. Yerger alone
of the four mentioned, is and has
always been in touch with the
party in this State on the subject
of ,''Sixteen to One" For this
reason he is thoroughly available
for the Senatorial contest, which
unless all signs fail will be most
spirited one.
In all other respects Col. Yerger
possesses the necessary qualifica-
tions for the exalted position men
toned. He is not an office seeker
in any sense of the word, but is
ready at all times, as s good citi-
zen should be, to serve his people;
and doubtless indulges noble am
bition to represent them in the
United States Senate. He is hon
est, able and fearless, and has al |
ways worn the 'white flower of a
blameless life" He is conserva-
lively aggressive too, if we may
coin suggestive phrase, and these
several qualities, together with |
profound legal attainments, sound
and mature judgment, broad cul-
ture, fair knowledge of state
craft, and pleasant address, 90
to make up an ideal lawmaker and
senator, who can wear the mantle
of the knightly Walthall with hon
or to himself and the State,
In the name of "the Delta" we
shall, at the proper time, nominate
William g, Yerger as our next
United States Senator, and believe
he will be found acceptable to q
majority of our friends in the hills
We will say right here that he is
NOT A MAN OF THE MCLAURIN
KIND, and will of course, meet
with the bitter opposition of "the
clan" Judging from recent events,
however, this will only serve to
increase his popularity, and will
doubtless prove a potent factor in
securing his election. Bolivar
Democrat.
THE TINES thanks the Democrat
for making a choice for it. Vel

To Ne Opsssd In Lssde BY the Princes
London has had q school Of medicine
fury. but during most Of that time the
enterprise has had to encounter the
prejudice and opposition which every
attempt to invade q masculine monopo-
ly always creates. In England. as
elsewhere. the experiment so vehement
ly denounced has slowly won approval.
and now that some mamihcently
equipped laboratories are added to the
school, the final disappearance Of all
apprehension Is to be marked In the way
most conclusive to British minds. In
other words. the new buildings are to
be opened and dedicated by the Princess
OF Wales. 1t has often been stated by
the critics Of women doctors that they
have never lone n original work, but
hitherto the answer has been ready that
women have had IN this profession only
the most meage opportunities for dis
play of anything more than knowledge
n skill. In London for the future
all such drawbacks will ceaSe. for no
medical school could be better provided
with the means Of investigation than
that Of the women.

YoNKERs, Jan. 29.-Tom Broderick OF this
city defeated Paddy Fenton OF Boston tonight
on Il foul in the nineteenth round at the waverly
A. G. The fight was stubbornly contested. In
tho fifth round the Boston man was
floored from q right hook on the jaw
and he remained down the limit. The
men met at 1913 pounds and were to
have boxed twenty rounds. The main event
was preceded by two preliminaries, in which
Eddie Goodbody of New York beat Billy May
nard of Fordham in an eight-round set-to, and
Billy Moore of Syracuse won from Chip Nor
rison of Cincinnati in the fifth round, In what
was to have been an eight-round contest at 100
pounds.
Betting on the main event favored Fenton at
ODDS OF 10 to g. The clubhouse was crowded
with spectators. large delegations being present
from Greater New York and Boston. Fenton
was seconded by Dave Sullivan, Jack
smith. aud Mike Sullivan. and Frederick was
looked after By his brothers, Bill and Con,
and Paddy Grey. Broderick was taller and had
q longer roach than his opponent. He wore Fen
ton out with q varied assortment OF right and left
hand jabs which made Paddy's face resemble raw
beef. The men had agreed to break clean, but
before the tight had progressed many rounds it
was evident that Fcnton had no intention of
complying with the rules. He was warned by
Referee Edwards three timos In the eighteenth
round and twice in the nineteenth for roughinR
tactics.
