HON LEROY PERCY.

Ii / were called upon to nam
Zone of the most promising ap'
gifted young men in the Thir'
Congressional District, | shoul'
unhesitatingly name Leroy Percy
Of Greenville. As lawyer he j
profoundly and accurately learned
as an advocate, he is adroit, rug
gedly eloquent, tactful and as re
sourceful as a Texas bronco is full
of tricks. His vocabulary is am
pie, illustrations pointed-strik
ingly pertinent and invariably fine
fitting Judgment in the minds O.
of the jury or the Court The
truth is, he never opens his mouth
without saying something. There
is nugget of wisdom in every
period, and an idea in every
conception. He is rot what is
generally understood rs a student,
and yet, his information is wide
and varied, and he has more sense
than anybody. Submit a propo-
sition to hlm-legaI or what not,
and his mind goes through it like
on Xray through window pane,
developing all the obstruse, intri-
cate and difficult points, reconcil-
ing, eliminating and adjusting the
varient phases until the whole mat
ter becomes transparent. A most
remarkable faculty-wonderfully
developed Another strong point
in the character of this eXtraordin-
airy young man is his influence
over men. He was born to rule
one of those peculiar characters
whose influence is felt and obeyed,
and that to, often when the per-
son influenced least expects it.
That peculiar power Is God given,
must be born in the man OF wo-
man. 1t cannot he acquired.
Another admirable trait, marked
ly developed in Mr.. Percy-ls
loyalty to friend and devotion to
principle. The latter qualities
are paramount and of speculative
worth-they are the browning vir-
tues of perfect character. With
these qualities highly developed
man approaches nearest to God,
without them, his tendency and
proper place is the other extreme.
10 such young men as Mr.. Percy
we must look for the future great
ness and goodness of the Republic
He is capable of doing a great
ieal for his country, If only his
powers are properly employed. -

Last Tuesday Governor Long
inc appointed Mr.. A. Blum, of
this city, as the Levee Board Com
missioner for Washington county.
The appointment was not one of
surprise to our people, as it had
been known several weeks that
Mr.. Blum was the chosen one for
the place. Washington county
or the state have few better bust
ness men than A. Blum, and if after
taking his seat on the board he
will instIlI into it those princi-
pies, it will be the means of saw
ing the taxpayers of the district
thousands Of dollars. The editor
of the Times congratulates Mr..
Blum on his appointment and
hopes his official career on the
board will be an honor to him in
the end.

In cotton next year. That is right
sow every corner of ground you
have in cotton, provided you are
not going head overhells in debut
to do it. This you should steer
clear of, for its an overseer with
out reason and its ticks of interest
sometimes draws life blood from
your veins. The high rates of
interest the South has had to pay
has done more to retard her adj
vancement than bad politics or
poor crops. No cotton is our
staple, our lands are adapted to it,
and is the best paying crop IN the
delta, SO if you can plant enough
this year to make a million dollars,
do it.

The onion Cure for Lice,

1 see some one is asking a remedy
for lice on cattle. About eight years
ago some one gave this: Take an
onion, cut in two and rub this on the
animal until it is all rubbed away
and in four or five days repeat. I
have tried quassia chips, tobacco,
lamp oil, lard and carbolic acid and
several other remedies. But the on
ion remedy is the only success. Don't
fail to give this for lice extermi-
nator for cattle whenever anyone
asks for one, and you will certainly
get thanks for it. This may seem so
simple that people may not try it,
but you urge them for a single trial;
it is wonderful.-Cor Hoard's Dairy
man.

galleries. Stepping out to the front of
the stage he said in his most tragic
tones, Ladies' and Gentlemen: Un-
