Charles Scott's Open Letter to Gov.
Mclaurin.

Owing to the great length OF this
letter VIC cannot lay it before our rca-
dera in full, but give brief synopsis,
covering the most important points in
the letter, which are as follows:
Hon. Charles, Scott, Of Roscdale,
Miss, has addressed an open letter to
Governor McLaurin which Is quite
severe In tone, being both caustic and
sarcastic. 1t is really stump speech
as it werc-a reply to the criticisms
made upon Mr.. Scott by Governor Nc.
Laurin, will attract agood deal OF at.
tention throughout the State, and
doubtless bring forth reply from
the Governor.
Mr.. Scott assigns as his reason for
giving his letter to the public that
Governor McLaurin had referred to
and criticised him In his Meridian
speech. He says he had supported the
Governor 10 his canvass for chief cx.
ecutive, but that their ways parted
after the Governor learned lie could
not use him to promote his own
ends.
Mr.. Scott gUcs lenghtily into a dis.
cussi0n OF The appointment Of levee
commissioners and denies that he has
bceu shown more accommodations by
the sheriff and tax collector OF his
county -than other men, than leading
supporters Of the Governor in Bolivar
county. He refers to some Of his pri.
vate matters alluded to by the Cover.
nor and says that not one OF his credi-
tors has ever lnsta single dollar on
his account, ample security always
being given.
He chidcs the Governor for read ing
to his Meridian audience an editorial
printed in the Bolivar Democrat in
1906 and attributing It's authorship to
him (Scott). The article enlogized
and extolled Governor McLaurin's rec
ord while United States senator.
Mr.. Scott denies that he wrote the ed.
itorial referred to, stating At that
time he was not the editor OF the
Democrat, but controlled It's policy,
and wF0te the Governor the paper
was at his service. SOon be received

mate that he knows this 0f Ills own

MAINSA|L ON
SHAMROCK SET
FOR FIRST TIME
Captain Hogarth Is
Well Satisfied.
snsclaI DIsnatoh to The CAL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-For just fifteen
minutes the yacht Shamrock had her
mainsail set to-day. The sail is a beauty,
with its cloths running the regular way,
from head to foot and high peak TO it.
Soon after breakfast the Shamrock s
crew turned to-" They stretched the foot
Of the mainsau along the boom. .-then
hauled the clew out and made it fast.
There are eighteen hoops on the mast.
These were next seized on, and after the
foot of the sail had been fastened to the
traveller the head Of it was laced TO the
gaff, and at 12:l5 the big sail was hoisted.
1t remained up just long enough to sat
isfy Captain Hogarth that it needed no al
teratious. Then il was lowered and care
fully covered by the crew. 1t Will not be
hoisted again. according to David Barry
Sir Thomas Lpton's representative, until
The arrival of VIII Fife, the yachts de-
siGneT. He is due here tomorrow on the
Campania with the Shamrock's 5 owner.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Yachting World
to-day saws: If the Shamrock is success
ful the building of three or four English
defenders is already assured. II the sham
rock is beaten it is not likely that there
viii be much big boat racing on this side
next year.
Continuing, the paper referred to says
that in any event the Shamrock will sail
IN the Mediterranean in 1900, and 1t men
lions a a probable rival to the sham
rocks claim as The defender of the Amer
iCa's cup a yacht designed by Watson for
Charles Day Rose, now building.
The mystery over the role of Captain
Ben Parker, the skipper of Emperor Will
Jams Yacht Meteor, in the Americas cup
races increases. The Press Association to-
day declares on authority termed the
highest that Captain Parker has finally
secured his Majestys permission to help
sail the Shamrock in the coming races,
and that he leaves for New York imme-
diatoly. This permission, it is said, was
gained through representations made to
Emperor William by Lord Lonsdale.
Captain Parker denies that he is going
to the United States to help sail the
Shamrock
The Press Association adds that on the
Clyde the feeling is daily growing strong
or in favor of the Shamrock's chances. At
the German embassy in this city repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press was to-
day informed that nothing was known
there of Emperor William 5 changed de-
cisiou about Captain Parker taking part
IN the America 5 cup races, and the latest
report in regard to the matter was
thought to be highly improbable.
The same news agency says that plain
suits of clothes are going TO the sham
rocks crew. that the men may be en-
shled 10 walk about freely when on shore,
so as to prevent them from being sur
rounded by impOrtunate American jour
raIists, who stop at nothing in their ef-
forts to obtain inf0rmatiOn.'

Ryan was given the decision over Jack
Moffatt at the end of a twenty-roun1 bout
here tonight Ryan had his opponent 60
ing in the thirteenth round and could have
easily put him out. He let down, how
ever, and made no attempt to end the
fight. Ryan did not show a mark. while
Moffatt's nose and mouth bled freely and
his breast and neck were skinned from the
constant jabbing he received. The 5000
spectators were disgusted because Ryan
did not extend himself. Up to the thir-
teenth round the men gave a pretty exhf-
bition and Ryan had all the better of it,
