JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS NO FOOL

John Sharpe Williams cannot be
suspected Of being a fool. He is nc
sardine. But, the gang that swears by
Private John Allen, fully convinced
Of his defeat by Gov. McLaurin for the
Senate, is now making frantic efforts
to divert attention from the doom that
awaits him, by springing the name
OF Mr.. Williams as a possibility. He
is however too wary and too sagacious
a man to be lured into the coils which
the disappointed followers Of Private
John are weaving to entrap him as a
vicarious sacrifice to their unrighteous
intrigues. Mr.. Williams is we'll
aware that at this late day, Gov. Nc.
Laurin cannot be defeated by any of
the desperate expedients to which AL.

It's OF no use, Allen's friends cannot

THE PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS OF A
STATESMAN.

The following sentiments, taken from
Governor McLaurin's speech At Jack
son, are worthy OF perpetuation, as the
utterances of an American statesman.
In the grand old days of Southern
chiyalry, of pure Democracy, and lofty
patriotism, we find ennobling sentiments
OF devotion to country and to duty, but
nowhere can be found sentiments, ad-
dressed to the manhood, and the youth
OF the country, deserving Of more
Thoughtful consideration, and which
tend more to the elevation of patriotic
feeling, in our citizenship
They contain truths, most important
to remember at this time, and shed a
brilliant light Of patriotism, Tor the
guidance of a trave and chivalric fol.
lowing:
The maintenance of a Democratic
government in form and substance, and
the perpetuation Of free institutions,
oAS Nv Ill ov " Shs GAC otsSAVAOA VI
every citizen and voter.'
THAT system Of government, which
places rule and power in the hands Of
the common people, and gives to every
one an equal voice in the selection
of officers, and making and enforcing
of the laws, is not only preservative
of liberty, but will be the most per-
manent.'
'Our liberties and self.government
are inherited and it devolves upon
US to preserve and maintain them. In
this every citizen is alike interested"
I'm nations as ia families, it is the
duty Of every country to take care of
and provide for itself. This should
be done by just regard for the rights Of
Others and rigid maintenance Of its
own
Every year is important in the his
tory OF the country, but we seem to be
passing now through period of
extraordinary peril, and therefore of
extraordinary Importance"
1--WE have just closed the Spanish
Var, which, while it was victorious to
Our arms and added iustre To the

"a cewardly Assault"

Under the above caption . scathing
article appears in the Columbus Conn
mercisl, in it, issue Of April 30th. In
announcing the death Of Rev. H. p.
Gibbs, it excoriates The perpetrators Of
the assault, which that paper thinks
may have led to the premature death
Of the ill-tated victim Of their resent-
meut.
Mr.. Gibbs was serving as pastor Of
the North Main Street Methodist
Church at Water Valley, and took oc-
cssion to deprecate untoward condi-
tions prevailing in the management Of
the factory Of that city. His purpose
was to smeliorats the condition Of the
employees, aud to mitigate the hard.
ships 10 which they we're exposed. For
this expression OF humane feeling he
was assaulted in broad daylight, and or
the busiest street In the city. He made
no resistance, and 1t is surmised that
from the effects Of the assault and his
deep humiliation he contracted the i'll.
ness which led to his death. The Com.
mercial also scores the papers and the
people generally, In Water Valley with
no uncertain sound, for allowing such
an affair to be passed by almost In 81.

II the facts. as narrated by the Com"
mercial are authentic, then language is
inadequate to convey even q faint idea
of the detestation in which the wron e.
doers should be held.

announcing his candidacy for the short

occasion to mention some service he
had rendered the Democratic party

''he had met Josiah Patterson, Ex-

The Cofreevilie Times Editor Not Even
Qualified Voter.
The versatility Of the editor of tue
Coffeeville Times, who commenced the
publication Of his paper about the time
the campaign opened, is fairly illustra-
ted in the part he assumes, to advise
and enlighten Democrats in the course
they should adopt regarding their po-
litical obligations. The generous and
sagacious counsel is not limited to city,
county or State issues, but its scope is
broadened into the field of national
questions. 1t is a comfort to have some
sapient Nestor to relieve the ordinary
voter OF the burden Of doing his own
thinking. Doubtless, the gifted edi-
tors shoulders are robust enough, like
those Of Atlas, to support the globe.
But, while ponderiug admiringly over
the disinterested generosity of the edi-
tor OF the Times, 10 dispensing advice
and wise counsel gratuitously, 1t just
happens TO recur to our mind that he
is not even a legally qualified voter, as
we learn from undivided authority.

Chenoweth Reinstated.

Washington, D: c., July 81
After thorough and personal investi-
gated, the President yesterday re-
instated H. X. Chenoweth of Nogales
as collector of customs, although his
successor, w. II. Hoey of Indiana,
had some days ago been appointed.
Mr.. Chenoweth had been removed on
affidavit of Allen I. Bird, w. p Har-
low and others, after the matter had
been passed on by the civil service
commission. Subsequent events tend
ed to show we'll laid plot, gigantic
conspiracy on the part of designin G
men at Nogales, most of them repu-
blicans
When the grand jury of Santa
Cruz county indicted Allen I. Bird,
District Attorney Harlow and Justice
Taylor, the President became in
terested in the proceedings H. X.
Chenoweth was in Washington. to de-
fend his case and Senator Steve Elkins
asked the President to favor the mat
ter with his personal attention. The
result was that the President was
thoroughly convinced that mistake
had been made and that good man
had been turned down.
This is remarkable case, one with
out parallel, but owing to the inter
national feature caused by Indictment
of Harlow for kidnapping men and
sending them across the Mexican line
to be shot, caused the president to GO
to the bottom of the case.

Tag out just where they were at, as
message had arrived that the Hon.
III. K. Chenowcth had been reinstated
as collector of customs. They argued
pro and con and lie with the ''big
mouth and uncouth hair" spoke long
and loud, but said nothing The others
talked in the same strain, but at last
one of the five present conceived an
idea that the only person that could
make anything but merry hell out of
these proceedings was the granger
and basket representative from In
diana, who unfortunately had left the
town after leaving his gang" to re-
.joice the appointment of new col
lector and had assured them that al.
was well and that they should all be
taken care of. Three O; the five
present agreed that this genius was
the person responsible and they i'm
mediately drafted out message telling
the man from Indiana that hell had
popped since his departure, and re
quested him to send them some
Encouraging news even if it were not
true, as some Of the five present
would believe it after seeing it i'll
print in the O-asses. The reply came
with an effort, addressed to one OF

much exertion was taken out of soak,
and will be published for the benefit
of all the faithful ''pulP':
