The Vote for rGovernor-How 1t Stands.

The Vote for Governor-HOw 1t Stands.
OF the seventy-five counties fifty-one
have acted to date. The seventy-five
counties have a total voting strength
in the convention of two hundred and
sixty-six votes, thus making it neces-
sary for the nominee to receive one
hundred and thirty-four. The twenty
four counties that have not as yet act
ed have a voting strength of seventy
seven.
Those that have acted represent one
hundred and sixteen instructed and
seventy-three uninstructed votes. The
failure of some to instruct is explain
ed by the fact that they have candi-
dates of their own for other State
offices.
OF the instructed vote LOngino has
81, Critz 26, Vardaman 8, Montgomery
8, McCool 8. Powell 4. This, however,
must not be taken as the relative
strength of the candidates, as Longino,
CritZ, Vardaman Montgomery, McCool
and Powell, each have quite number
of the votes of the counties that have
not given instructions and also claim
as certain many of those yet to act
Judge A. H. Longino wasa passenger
on the A. & V. train Sunday evening
en- route to Chickasaw and other
counties in the northern portion of
the State Judge Longino stated to a
Clarion Ledger reporter that he will
confine his canvass to the northern
part of the State from now on until
the last primary is Clarion Led
ger, 25th.

Said the great American stump
speaker and infidel once, the late Bob
Ingersoll: II want to die slowly. l
want to be conscious to the last. /
hope to know the sensations of ap-
preaching death. have some things
l want to say" There spoke the man
whose whole life was a pose. 1t is
doubtful if death was unkind, in deny
ing this wish. Rejoicing in the pos
session of hollow where the pumps of
veneration should be, when in the full
glow and vigor of life, is one thing.
Then it was rare sport to stir up the
preachers, to air glorious vocabulary
in the applause of a shallow and
vociferous multitude; with the assur-
ance of a well filled office box in the
back ground.
But in the actual and awful presence
and portals of the dreadful change, the
hush of the death chamber broken
only by the repressed sobs and whis-
pered prayers of the grief stricken,
with the grisly terror clutching and
chilling the vital fountains cracking
jokes over holy writ is another matter.

THE NEED OF YOUNG MEN-THE
DUTY OF THE HOUR.

II asked to name that which is the
almost universal need of young men,
the empnatic reply would be, bust
ness education.
1t has now reached the point that it
is practically impossible for young
man to get start i'm life without it,
and all will doubtless remember the
adage that "a good start is half the
battle. A business education not on
ly gives this good start, but a better
ending, for it thoroughly qualities him
to ascend the ladder of promotion and
reach the highest round of success.
In urging young men to attend the
Ca Business College, at Macon,
Ga, under the presidency of Prof. E.
l.. Martin, formerly of this State, we
are governed by the fact, it is clearly
to their own individual interest so to do,
for it guarantees to save them time and
money on what is conceded to be the
most thorough course ever devised.
The college guarantees positions,
and pays the railroad fare of students.
Excellent board and lodging are fur
nished at the very low rate of 50 per
month.

From Adams Camp Ground.

Summit, July PA protracted
meeting is now going on at Adams
Camp Ground, with the largest atten-
dance ever seen at that historic place
of worship in evidence yesterday. The
meeting will continue until and includ-
ing next Sunday.
The Cohn & Bers of New Orleans
and the Centreville Miss baseball
teams will play two games of ball in
Summit this week, Thursday and Friday
evenings, July q and %. A large purse
has been hung up for the successful
team, and as much interest is being
manifested in the matter, it is rightly
anticipated that these games will be
the hottest contested ones ever wit
messed in this section.
Mrs. Emma Carruth, the young wife
of Mr.. Angel Carruth and daughter of
Mr.. C. w. Beam, of this place, resid-
ing near Auburn, Miss, died late yes
terday evening. About a month ago
the lady gave birth to twins, both of
whom are in fine health, and ever since
that time her health has been feeble.

The Craze for Once.

There perhaps has been more money
spent in this campaign than any other
that ever took place in the State.
Money flowed like water in every coun-
ty, and while the voting was in pro-
gress in this city last Saturday one
candidate was heard to say ifnOt elect
ed he would be the worst broke man
in the State. He had mortgaged every
thing he had to raise $1,000, which was
about gone, and yet the Office only
pays $500, per year. There seems to
be mania for office. Men are run
ming who have not the least chance for
election. Office seeking has been re-
duced to a scramble and the scramble
has been reduced to tactics that have
become desperate. When men will
mortgage their homes, throwing their
families out of the doors, with only a
small hope of securing the prize, and
if secured would not repay for the
time, money and labor, there is GER
tainly something radically wrong with
the people or the times.-Hattiesburg

Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley, Brevrad, N.C.l
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffer
ing we feel it duty to say good word
for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrh9a Remedy. We have known
and used this midicine in our family
for twenty years and have always
found it reliable. In many cases
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure,
but we do believe that if bottle of
Chamberlain's Diarrhpa Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much
suffering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of physici-
an would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by c

SOLITUDE.


Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its mlrth,
But has troubles enough of Its own.
Sing and the hills will answer:
Sigh, 1t Is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from yOicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
Grieve and they turn and co.,
They want full measure for all your pleasure,
But they do not want your wee.
Be glad and your friends are many;
De sad and you lose them ALL
There are none to decline your nectar'd wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and 1t helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There Is room in the halls of pleasure,
For large and lOrdly train,
But one by one we must all file on.
Through the narrow aisles Of pain.

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

How the Governor and Bro. sidney Las
soed McLaurin Senator In Kinds.
The Raymond Gazette tells how Anse
worked his rabbit foot on some of the
Kinds county legislative candidates;
how he soothed the "neuters" into a
policy of hands off toward him is
thus told:
In his Raymond speech Governor
charged with meddling in the politics
of Kinds county; he denied the charge,
stating at the same time that he had
never expressed preference for any
of the candidates for the legislative
offices, except in the case of the can
didates for Senator; that, as he knew
one was friend of his and the other
was opposed to his election to the
United States Senate, he had express
ed a desire that the one who was
friendly to him should be elected. He
further explained in his remarks that
he was not alluding to either OF the
candidates for foater Senator. The
inconsistency of his statement is
shown by circular letter which has
been mailed to voters all over the
county. Two copies have been hand
ed to us. One is addressed to Will
Hall and the other to Bob Lee, both
voters of this place. The letter reads
as follows:
Jackson, Miss, July 6, 1893.
My Dear Sir:
Knowing you to be good friend to
Governor McLaurin and want him
elected to the Senate, write to ask
you to support r. L. Bradley for float
er Senator. 1t will be greatly to the
governors interest in his race to have
Bradley in the Senate.
Bradley is the governors friend and
will give him the full benefit of the in
structions of this county, and will do
good work for the governor when the
legislature meets.
Your friend,
s. L. M'LAURIN.
We suppose the governor will say he
is not responsible for the actions of
his brother and other agents and
lieutenants of his, but the governor is
surely advised of and must approve
the methods pursued by those who are
working in his interest.
Brother Sidney omitted to say, too,
that in the event of the election for
governor of one who is counted on to
re-appoint Judge McLaurin, that it
may be mighty handy to have "the
governors friend" in the Senate. How
he was finally landed there, on the
second primary, is further told by the
following from the Gazette:
"As will be seen the vote of Bradley
for fioater Senator is four more than
Shelton. Believing that some errors
might have been made in the count
Mr.. Shelton requested a recount OF
certain boxes. A count was made of
the errors which gave Shelton major
ity Of one. The committee then de-
cided to ignore the mistakes discover
ed and declared the result upon the
face of the returns"

CAsTALIAN sPKINGs-AN IDEAL RE-
SORT FOR HEALTH AND REST.

N4ENVc-NAAS A&~@SeA~- 49,
SORT FOR HEALTH AND REST.
Castalian Springs has long been re-
} nowned as one of the noted health and
pleasure resorts of Mississippi. 1t is
situated miles west of Durant, in the
pine hill section of Holmes county. A
hack line meets all trains at Durant,
and there is telephone connection with
the outside world and semi-daily mails.
The location is a most charming one.
The large mineral spring, which sup
plies its sparkling, health-giving wa
ters, and the hotel buildings are stu
ated in beautiful little shaded valley,
surrounded on all sides by an ampithea-
tire ofpine -cladhills. Through thisvalley
runs gentle crystal stream. Stately
forest oaks, with spreading branches
and grateful shade, cover large por-
ton of the grounds, and grassy lawns,
with carpets of green, help to complete
a landscape which charms and inspires
every lover of nature. Swings, rustic
seats games of croquet and lawn tennis
are provided under the umbrageOus
oaks, and these with walks and rides
over the surrounding hills furnish
pleasurable diversion to guests.
The hotel table is supplied with every
delicacy and substantial that can tempt
the appetite of the invalid or one in
vigorous health. A large portion of
the table supply is drawn from the
Springs farm and garden, and one of
the finest herds of Jerseys in the State
furnishes an ample daily supply of the
finest fresh milk and butter.
The water of the Springs is especially
adapted to malarial and kidney dis
eases, and at this season of the year
the hotel is always well crowded with
guests seeking refuge from the malaria
laden sections of the great Yazoo-
Mississippi Delta. When one of these
persons visits the Springs, his skin as
yellow as pumpkin and the very
whites of his eyes of yellowish green
cast from malaria, it is marvellous how
quickly these waters will clear up his
complexion, give spring and elasticity
to his step and make new man of
him.
Mr.. Henry Barger is the present pro-
prletor of the Springs. He is a perfect
gentleman in the treatment of his
guests and never neglects anything
which will contribute to their accom-.
notation or comfort. Many impor.
@nt improvements have been added
since last season.

The Biloxi Review Hits the Bulls Eye.
The greatest difficulty in the way of
the proper enforcement of law in this
State, as doubtless in many others, is
the sympathy with it's violations that
obtains with those to whom is commit
ed the enforcement of law. We do not
believe there is a law upon the statute
book that could not be enforced with
effect if public officials were held to as
strict an accountability as are private
employees. With law violators, either
in their personal lives or by their con-
nivance as officials, naturally the case
is hopeless. Recier.
