golden hopes of years will be realized
in the not distant future. The open
ing up of the vast pine forests and
| timber wealth of that district by the
Gulf & Ship Island and other rail
roads and the assurance of the early
building of an Isthmian canal, fur
nish fresh inspiration and emphasize
anew to Mississippi the inestimable
value and Importance of securing a
seaport of her own, while her vast
industrial and commercial possibili-
ties are beginning to be realized.
Thus viewing the matter, if The
Leader were citizen of the sixth
district, laying oil mere personal
preferences aside, it would do its ut
most to secure the nomination and
election of the senior candidate now
before the people, Capt w. II. Hardy.
Capt Hardy is man of great abili-
ty, wide acquaintance and personal
influence, and a progressive, con-
struotive statesman, exactly suited to
the demands and unfolding possibili-
ties of the district he seeks with such
laudable ambition to represent. His
years and his ripe experience, as COM
pared with his young competitor, are
as a valuable asset in his favor. We
have no word of oensure for these
two gentlemen who aspire to repre-
sent the district Their ambition is a
natural and praisew orthy one; but,
pitted as they are against a broad
gagged, able statesman whose pre-
eminent fitness and large experience
in public affairs are acknowledged on
all sides, they may we'll afford to
"tarry at Jericho till their boards
grow. " No man in Mississippi pos
sesses greater knowledge of the re-
sources and possibilities of the sixth
district or a clearer and more com
prehensive conception of its present
and future needs.
Coupled with these facts, the peo-
pie of his district might well afford
to give him their support as token
of their gratitude and appreciation
for what he has in the past done for
them and Mississippi in material
way. Tire building of the North
eastern railroad, the ultimate com
pletion of the Gulf & Ship Island
railroads, the founding Of the flour
ishing cities Hattiesburg and Gulf
port, the introduction Of textile de-
partment to the A. q NJ College for
the training of cotton mill operatives
for Mississippi with all that these
things imply in the way of the devel-
opment of material progress and
wealth, are more due to the wise
foresight tireless energy and enter
prising brain of W. H. Hardy than to
any other man in Mississippi an d are
an earnest example of what he could
and would do for his district and
state as a representative in congress.
I Gratitude is noble virtue, no less
so in people than in the individual,
and 1t is a noble act to recognize ana
pay debts of gratitude whenever it
eau be done without injustice to
others.
" II there be a crime
Oe at..aaaf dive than all the guilty
or human Vices, -
In this instance the people of the
sixth district can pay huge debt Of
gratitude and at the same time rem
der THEMSELVES and the people of the
state valuable service for the future
BY honoring the distinguished states
man, patriot and pubiicist from Per
ry. 1t would be a graceful act, a
wise act to this crown and round out
his useful public life.
