tary country. Its merchants are
Of an enterprising, broad-guaged
class Of business men who have an
abiding faith in their city, and
offer inducements to the people Of
the surrounding country to do
their trading here. They carry
in every line Of goods large and
carefully selected stocks and every
advantage in the way Of prices,
quality and variety Of goods Of
fered by larger cities may be found
here. The stores are, with few
exceptions, large, wel-lighted
buildings, many Of them Of brick

Future Of the bicycle.

It is agreed by all bicycle m~anufact-
ures that the 1899 models represent the
perfect wheel. Improvement seems to
be impossible. Precisely the same
thing is true of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. It represents the limits Of
science in overcoming disease, and 1t
is impossible to make q better medi-
cine for the stomach, liver, Kidneys
and blood. A few doses of the Bitters
will start weak, nervous and bloodless
people on the road to strength. A
regular course of treatment will bring
back the pink to the cheeks and sparkle
to the eye. Sleep will come naturally,
and It will be refreshing aud healthful.
Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipa-
ton viii be completely banished, and
the blessings Of true health bestowed.
Never take q substitute for this per.
feet remedy.

CLAIMING MORE THAN HIS DUE.

Congressman Williams and Gov. Nc
Laurin had their first joint discussion
at Raymond on the 18th.
In his short rejoinder Mr.. Williams
charged that the governor had changed
his tactics in the very face of the en-
emy, and for very first time during the
present canvass was devoting his time
to discussion of national issues. He
told the audience that the governor
was by no means entitled to all the
credit he was claiming for securing the
four townships of land for the State
colleges-that honor belonged to
Chancellor r. B. Fulton, of the State
university, who went to Washington
armed with well prepared pamphlet.
which proved to congress and the
country that the State of Mississippi
was entitled to the land, and it was
granted as matter of right and JUS
tice.
The governor had short reply, in
which he admitted that Chancellor
Fulton did go to Washington with a
lot of pamphlets, but insisted that to
himself was due the credit of introduc-
ing and pushing the bill.
Mr.. Williams is said to have been
loudly cheered on his explanation of
the facts in regard to the securing of
the four townships of land for the
State colleges.

A SHORT STORY WITH A MORAL.

1t will be remembered by most of our
readers that before Governor McLaurin
was elected in 1895, that he publicly
pledged the people of Mississippi, if
elected, he would not pardon, nor even
consider petition for the pardon of
The Dlnkins' murderers, whom he de-
tended i'll court; but that notwithstand-
lngthls pledge, he last year granted
one OF these murderers his liberty.
Naturally enough this betrayal of the
public confidence has gotten the Gov
ernor into more trouble. Seeing that
the Governor himself had no respect
Tor his ante election pledge and that if
he would set one ofthe Dinkins mur-
dercrs free, there was no good reason
why he should not pardon another or
all three of them, the friends of Cole
man, one of the trio, are fairly besieg
ing him for his release, and
that speedily. The question has act
aaliy assumed the phase of political
Issue in Vicksburg and Warren county
me Democratic executive committee
oi warren lately passed resolution
calling on the Governor to grant the
pardon, and the matter has since been
.aKen up by the citizens of Vicksburg
ln puolicmeetings, who have appoint
ed delegates to wait on the Governor
aud press the matter. 1t is openly
threatened in these meetings that if
tle petition Is not granted, and that
r'gnt away, McLaurin's name is Dennis
" warren county, as scores of Cole
mans friends are his friends and will
turn against him.
IL is likely that the Governor will
Iespond to the threat, as The did in
lhe !vo Miller case, to save his own
pohtical hash in Warren, but il he
aoes, he will lose quite as much else
where, because it will be all too ap-
parent that his motive was to advance
ms own political interests, regardless
Vi The merits of the case.
The moral of it all is, the Governor
should have stood pat aud kept faith
WIN the people in the first instance. If
ne had, no such issue would have been
raised, because all would have had
respect for the man and his word.
Since the above appeared in THE
LEADER of last week, the clatter in
warren county for the pardon of
coleman has suddenly subsidized. The
explanation is said to be that the Gov
efnor has pointed out to influential
friends of Coleman and his that he
could not afford to pardon Coleman
under an open threat before the War
rem primary, but If the pardon ques-
Ion Il
'ioh Is dropped as an issue until after
the primary, the pardon will be forth
coming soon afterward. The Warren
primary takes place July 10th. If this
oe true, the Governor has been again
'raihcking in pardons for political sup
port and in this instance, it is the
case OF a murderer he could not clear
10 the courts before he became Gov
einor and who he solemnly pledged
Inc people before his election he would
not even entertain q petition 10 pardon.

corner i'm town one day, with basket
Of large hairy caterpillars and began
deliberately taking them out one by
one and swallowing them. Naturally
a big crowd soon gathered around to
witness the performance, when one by
stander who could no longer restrain
his curiosity, asked, "Look here, what
are you swallowing them worms for?"
"Why, you - fool" replied the man
with the worms, II just want to show
you fellows what stomach i have !"
With all due respect for those who
differ with us, the good citizen who can
swallow Gov. McLaurin s. administra.
tion, must just want to show the rest
of mankind what sort of a stomach he
has.
And all this we say with not the
slightest feeling of malice toward the
Governor, as man, because personally
we would do him any kindness in our
power.

SCARBOROUGH, Field Editor.
HON. WALTER TROTTER.
Somewhat BiographicaI--A Self
Made Man.

II NAV be stated as almost an
,s.ured fact that Hon. Walter Trotter
iii he Mississippi's next Attorney
General Not only has he been en-
dorsed by large majority of the pa
nsrs of the State, but prominent men
Il, over the State have given him
.~ords of encouragement, and those
.,ho are familiar with his canvass be-
rave he is a certain winner. In view of
,h;s fact something of Mr.. Trotter's
carly history will no doubt prove in
teresting.
Mr. Trotter was born in what is now
Montgomery then Choctaw) county.
His youth was spent on his fathers
farm When he was II years of age he
wos nermitted to work for himself
that he might procure an education.
To procure money for this purpose he
tauobt school and the writer can testi-
fv that he was a good teacher, for he
was one of Mr.. Trotter's pupils. He
graduated in law and was licensed to
practice in Montgomery county in
1879 and has resided here ever since,
beinp member of the law firm OF
sweatman, Trotter & Knox. During
this time-in fact, all his life-Mr.
Trotter has been close student and
has accumulated a wonderful fund OF
legal and general information. He is
a married man and has four children.
For twenty five years he has been a
member of the church and his private
and Christian character has been OF
model kind. Mr.. Trotter believes
strongly in masonry; in 1876 he was
made master mason, and in 1878 a
Royal Arch Mason, and afterward too X
the council degrees. He is Past Mas
ter of Winona Lodge F. & A. NJ, No. AZ.
Four years ago Mr.. Trotter was a
candidate for Attorney General, which
was the first time he ever offered for
Office and he was strong candidate
before the convention-that is, he had
about as many instructed counties as
any other candidate. In 1896 was a
Democratic elector in this district and
made speec hes over the district in the
interest of the party. He is true and
tried Democrat and has been member
of every Democratic club that was ever
organized in Winona.
He is member of the State bar as
sociation and for two years was its
treasurer. His record before the Su-
preme Court is second to that of no
man in the State. He is good speak
er, logical reasoner and a>profound
thinker He is conservative, careful
and painstaking and if he is Attorney
General few, if any, mistakes will be
made. His decisions will stand the
test of the highest courts in the land.
His private life is above reproach-his
Christian character is worth much to
his community. Such is the man who
offers his services to the people, and
as his former pupil and life long
friend, commend him to the people
of Mississippi as worthy of their sup
port | can assure them that he is
we'll qualified and if he is selected, as
believe he will be, the people of Mis-
sissippi will make no mistake, but will
have an Attorney General who will re-
fleet honor on himself and his native
State. Respectfully,
WALTER N. Hurt,
Editor Winona Times.

1T is not persecution to tell the truth
on a man, especially when the truth
be to show that he is unfit for an
office to which he is aspiring" So
wrote Judge Longstreet in his incom-
parable Georgia Scenes" and he adds
that reasoning based on the idea that
to tell the truth on candidate is to
persecute him, will make rascality
passport to Office" Let's have no
such passports in Mississippi.

AS was to be expected, after the
Kinds county Democratic Executive
committee refused to reconsider its
illegal action, the McLaurin-whisky-
office trust combine won in Kinds over
all opposition in Saturdays primary,
and "Anse" and "Jonie" are in high
feather. 1t will be rebuke richly
deserved if the State Democratic Con-
vention now refuses to seat the Kinds
county delegation.
