Strange things happen in politics. The
latest, it is said, is an effort on the pert
of the Democratic Executive Committee
to stir up trouble among Republicans by
agitating contest of some kind to the
delegation chosen to the State conven.
ton. Our Democrat brethren are trying
to work this scheme through dissatisfied
Republicans who they claim voted the
Democrat ticket last fall and spring. It
seems to be forgotten that about thirty
counties, nearly all that have selected
delegates to this date, have done so in
the same way and most of them in ad.
vance of Highland county. Republicans
will not take much stock in the Demo.
crat trick. The past shows that the only
object of such sympathy has been to
help elect Democrat tickets and that is
the object now.

The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1899-03-29

Prof. Edgar Green announces in to-
days LEADER as candidate for re-
election to the office of County Super
intendent of Education of Lincoln
county. The editor of The LEADER
has watched quite closely Prof. Green's
administration of the Superinten-
dents office for the last three years
and it is due him to say that it has
been such as to commend him to all
friends of public education in this
county. He is fine organizer and his
chief aim as Superintendent has been
to raise the standard of education and
inspire both teachers and pupils in
the public schools with an ambition to
excel. He has used every effort to get
his teachers to take advantage of all
county Institutes and State Normals to
the better qualify themselves to teach,
and has given practical effect to this,
by giving the preference in employing
teachers who do this. He has intro
duced the grade system into the coun-
ty schools with fine results, grades
running from to 3. embracing the
prescribed common school curriculum:
and, as an incentive to the completion
of this course, has established annual
graduating exercises, when all who
have completed it receive diplomas, as
was done at the recent graduating ex-
ercises at Grange Hail. In fact, The
LEADER might mention number of
other things to Superintendent Green's
credit, but lack of space prevents.

WELLMAN NOTES.
BY SAWDUST.


Bright dry weather.
Mrs. Will Lea, who has been very
sick with pneumonia, is cOnvalescing.
Mr.. w. J. McGraw returns thanks to
Mrs. Mulligan for nice lot of elegant
bean seed.
A great many of the Wellman peo-
pie are learning the habit of sitting
down to walk.
Messre. Charlie Lea and Henry
Shivers went fishing Saturday night
and caught Is fine catfish.
Mr.. Will Walker had a narrow es-
cape for his life one day last week on
account of some timber coming back
through the edger, barely missing him.
We don't know what has become of
Jeems. The last account we had of
him he and his thermometer went
in the ground together. Peace to his
ashes
We were well amused at Mr.. Jack
Fuqua, the head clerk in the store
here. A drummer was trying to sell
him a bill of boot jacks when Jack ex-
claimed, Its been hundred years
since l saw boot jack" The drum
mer looked up surprised and asked,
How old are you, Jack?"
On last Sunday at II o'clock Mr.. Ira
Martin and Miss Isabella Price were
quietly married at the residence of the
brides father, Supervisor Sam Brister
officiating. May their pathway through
life be blessed with prosperity, is the
wish of their many friends. They were

THE wINONA MEETING.

Well, yes, we went up to Winona
and saw and heard things not lawful
for man to utter. In many respects
it was said to be the biggest pow-wow
ever held in that thriving little city
Not being very political in our nature,
we so far forgot ourself as to ask Rev.
w. P. Price who was to preach the in
troductory sermon, but we soon
'caught on" and tried to be reconciled
to our fate. We are a Democrat, al
ways have been and always expect to
be, but because of our Prohibition
proclivities for sixteen years past, we
somehow have not been in good stand
ing and fellowship with the brethren.
The meeting at Winona was Dem
ocratic in full up to date. In behalf of
the good people of Winona, DR.. Ben F.
Ward, one of the oldest standard
beavers in the State, delivered the well
come address and, for more than an
hour he, in very elaborate manner,
pointed out the mistakes of the grand
old party and thought it high time we
were returning to the faith of our
fathers, and we thought so "too."
Several of the important speakers
from the east being detained on ac-
count of washouts on the G.. p. r. R.,
the committee had to re-arrange the
program by giving the candidates for
Governor half hour each in the fore
noon. Hon. j. f. McCool opened the
ball He said many good things and
made fine impressions. Then followed
our venerable Lieut.-Gov. Jones, of
Wilkinson county, who regretted that
he couldn't say funny things, but
after hearing him, we decided
that if he couldn't say funny things
he could state solid facts and
would make good Governor. Then
came Col. w. A. Montgomery, of
Kinds, with an untarnished reputation
and fine war record as a Confederate
soldier and commander of the Second
Mississippi Regiment during the war
with Spain. Col Montgomery made a
good speech, is all hindquarter, and if
elected would guide safely the ship of
State. Next in order came our much
esteemed and highly appreciated
Judge, Robt. Powell, who is not to be
excelled in oratory. His speech was
up to the high water mark, and if elect
ed he would no doubt make as good
a Governor as he has judge in our 7th
judicial district, and that is saying
much for him. Last but by no means
least, Judge A. H. Longino, of Green
vile, was introduced and such roar
of applause we never before heard as
went up from the four or five thousand
throats at the mere mention of the
name of him who is to be Mississippi's
next Governor. We would not lay a
straw in the way of any of these hon
orable gentlemen who are seeking
gubernatorial honors, but we do lay
Judge Longino across their pathway
leading toward the Governors seat
and, gentlemen, if you walk over him
you must step higher than ever before,
or else you will be left. Judge
Longino, we are sorry to say, is in fee
BILE health and was not able to make
but short talk, but at the conclusion
of his remarks there was a wild rush
to the platform to grasp his hand and
speak words of cheer. "Longino is in
the lead" is what we heard on every

Hon. A. H. Longino, of Greenville,
who. If the truest signs fail not, will
be Mlssissippi's next Governor, spent
last Thursday and a part of Friday in
br0okhaven. Judge Longino is so
we'll known and highly esteemed in
brookhaven it was like visiting his old
nome, and it is needless to say the
the greetings extended him were both
numerous and cordial. He came to
brookhaven expecting to go out to his
old home in Lawrence for short sea
son OF recreation, but felt too unwell
after reaching here to make the trip
through the country and returned on
friday to Green vile. He expects to
resign the Office of Chancellor this
week, and will soon enter upon an
dctlve canvass of the State. The
LEADER, between whose editor and the
Judge long and unbroken personal
friendship has existed, is indebted to
nlm nt Tor an appreciated call during his
short stay in our city.

You Can't
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantiy taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold i'm a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be we'll supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. II your cough does
Ec3 yield, and your throat and
I.,lgs !eel raw and sore, you
s'r-., not delay another day.

he instructed us relative to the fiuctu-
alton in the price of wheat in foreign
countries and the opening of the Mic
arauga canal, and closed with the an
nouncement that he was not a candi-
date for anything. An old darkey's
comment on Mr.. Williams speech was:
"Umph! He made dat long speech, den
denounces his sef for not bein' can
idate."
We are impressed that some polit-
icai speakers, when they run dry for
applause, will depart from the subject,
run out and hunt up VIM. j. Bryan,
say some big things about him and
then comes the yell. But, being a
little dull of hearing, we could not tell
whether they we're yelling for Bryan
or the speaker, and we we're afraid to
ask anybody about it. But we must
let up on this article lest people think
we are becoming too political in our
remarks, for you know some people
think that little religion disqualifies
a man for dabbling in politics anyway.
