we did not invite anybody except those we
could depend upon to cut the whole ticket,
and then pulled in few OF Rosewater's
friends to throw them off the track? And
how else would they know, too, that we had
fixed 1t UP with the World Herald to print
all your speeches and that you were to keep
them supplied with Imperialism talk for use
with the foreign voters? Do you think some
one has turned traitor?"
II hardly believe that. 1t Is simply as
you say, some chump that has written down
all he knew as a memorandum and then let
it get into the hands Of The Bee. How
many of us have they got in it,
More than they ought to have although
only few names are mentioned. 1t tells
all about the way we raised our money and
the scheme for permanent quarters. Won

anxious to make money by offering to bet
publicly on democrats even II he did think
it was a sure thing. John l.. Kennedy made
pretty muss, too. What did he want to

don't suppose he cares, though. Don't see
how it can be stopped now. The Bee has got
the whole thing. What's that you say? We
keep right on with our plan? You would
rather see democrats in the offices than any
republican outside of our crowd? Well, l
feel that way, too. May as well stick to our
democratic allies as long as we can't run
the regular party organization by ourselves.

Tea Poisoning,

Victims of tea poisoning are becoming
alarmingly prevalent. Women demand the
life and variety of health, and instead of
doing 1t naturally by building up their sys-
TENS they resort to tea. They should take
Hostetters Stomach Bitters instead. BY
strengthening the digestive organs this
brings beauty and good spirits. 1t tones up
the nerves, drives away the blues, regulates
the bowels and cures all forms of dyspepsia.

The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1899-04-16

Rev. W. r. Dye, rector of the
Episcopal Church, was next in
troduced to the audience. He
spoke as follows:
ADDRESS OF DIR. W. R. DYE.
An artist, who had spent his life
painting angels, was called upon
to paint other figures on the walls
of a rich nobleman's palace.
Knowing his capacity for only
one thing, the artist suggested
that angels would be more appro-
pirate, and when told that only
the other figures were desired,
then he said he would paint the
figures desired, but they would
have very much the appearance
of angels. If my remarks have
anything of the appearance of a
sermon you must excuse it on the
ground that l have been deliver
ing only sermons for several
years. With this explanation I
trust you will pardon any trans

A Memorial Fund Will Be
Raised in Memory of

Beautiful and Merited Tributes Paid
This Noble WOman--The
Addresses.

meeting was held at the college
chapel Friday evening for the
purpose of making a start to-
ward the establishing of a per-
petual scholarship in the Indus
trial Institute and College and
the erection of a memorial win
dow in the chapel of that institu-
ton in memory of Mrs. Annie G.
Peyton.
The audience, while not so
large as might have been ex-
pected, was in hearty sympathy
with the movement, and a sub
stantial start was made by the
liberal contributions.
The exercises of the evening
were begun with a scripture les
son read by Miss Norvine Cay
den, after which the audience
united in repeating the Lords
prayer. Miss Brown then sang
a beautiful solo, which was fol-
lowed by the address Of Miss
Lille R. Hairston, president of
the Peyton Society, who said
MISS HAIRsToN's ADDRESS.
In the name of the Peyton Lit
erary Society I welcome you,
and will state very briefly our
purpose in calling you here to-
night. We, the members of the
Peyton Literary Society, wish to
erect to the memory of Mrs. An
ME G. Peyton a monument that
will express in some slight de-
gree the love and honor we feel
for her. We are unable to do
this of ourselves, however, so
have thought advisable to ask
the aid of our outside friends.
In making this appeal we feel
confident of adequate support
from those who knew Mrs. Pey-
ton only through her life, as well
as from her personal friends in
Columbus and elsewhere, for on
ly the coming years can meas
ure the work Mrs. Peyton did for
our state. The foundation of
this college was one work God
gave to her, and nobly she Full
FILLED her trust. / will not at
tempt to estimate the greatness
of this great woman. Knowing
her desires, aspirations and pur-
poses, we have thought a free
scholarship for the girls of Mis-
sissippi would be most in accord
ance with her life. And it is for
this and for a memorial window
to be placed in eur chapel that
we ask your aid. We had invit-
ed Col Power, secretary of state,
to address US this evening, but
other engagements prevented his
coming. He sends with an es-
teemed contribution to our me-
mortal fund, letter from which
I ask to read:
81 notice that a memorial fund
amounting to upwards of 500,
900 has been raised in New York
for the wife and daughters of
Col. Warning, the eminent engi-
neer who was sent to Havana to
investigate and report a sanitary
system for that city. He con-
tracted yellow fever and died on
his return to New York. The
people of that great metropolis
are expressing their gratitude
and their respect for his memory
in the way indicated, for he had
done a great work for that city.
1 believe that Mrs. Peyton has
done a more important work
for her day and time, and
for eternity as well. And l am
sure that everybody in Missis-
sippi will endorse the sentiment
expressed by the editor of the
Vicksburg Herald when he said:
sThe success that crowned this
labor of love has erected for the
Mississippi woman" a more
honorable and enduring monu-

school and who always exerted an
influence for good.
The next speaker was Gen. E.
7. Sykes, who said:
ADDRESS OF E. T. SYKES.
Young ladies of the Peyton
Literary Society; student body of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege; ladies and gentlemen:
Occasions like the present
awake the divinity that is
in humanity, and inspire
emotions of the most con-
secrated character. They are
like the minstrel's touch as he
sweeps the strings of his harp
which has long hung silent upon
the walls, awakening tones of
saddened melody which swell and
echo along the corridors of the
soul.
Hence, in speaking of her
whose life-work we are here this
evening to commemorate, l am
sure that l will be pardoned for
giving utterance to the prompt
ings of my emotions, tempered as
they will be by my best and most
matured estimate of her charac-
ter. Speaking within such linn
itations, wish to say that in the
transformations sphere of woman's
work, as in the more obtrusive
walks of man, the French prov
erb, Nothing succeeds like sue
cess" is equally applicable.
Measured by that test, she of
whom we speak this evening,
came up to the full standard of
life's exacting demands, and
died, radiant with the crown of
victory over everything she un-
dertook, and at last received the
just and unstinted plaudit of
"well done" from every man,
woman and young girl in the
state of Mississippi. Indeed her
fame for successful life work is
not confined to the homes and
boundaries of Mississippi, but is
the recognized heritage Of good
women everywhere.
AS said by Count Mon
tholon, in his Captivity
of Napoleon:" ION great oc-
casions it is almost always wo-
men who have given the strong
est proofs ofyirtue and devotion;
the reason being, that with men,
good and bad qualities are in
general the result Of calculation,
whilst in women, they are impul-
ses springing from the heart. "
Though. as we learn from his
tory, the idea Of establishing and
endowing a State Female College
in Mississippi originated with and
was given expression to by Miss
Salhe Reneau, a teacher in the
schools Of Grenada, Miss, as far
back as the year 1853, and her
memorial to that end made to the
Legislature elected the approval
of the then governor, John j.
McRea; and that again, IN 1881,
Col. McCardle endeavored with
out success to have the state dem
ocratic convention to incorporate
a plank in its platform endorsing
its claims-it remained for the
gifted and ever to- be- honored
Mrs. Annie c. Peyton, to revive
and press with irresistible ear
nestness and unanswerable argu-
ment through the public prints
in a discussion with the then SUI
preme court judge, H. H. Chal-
mers-and subsequently, with the
aid of Mrs. Hastings, of Clai-
borne county, to have the bill
framed which passed the legisla-
ture and became a law by the
approval of the governor in 1884,
ehartering this institution and
college.
Hence, in the address of well
come by the speaker, at the
opening of this noble institution
Of learning on October p, 1885,
