ONE FOR GOVERNOR OF STATE
While the Other Will Be Candi-
date for u. s. Senator.
AT LEAST 1T LOOKS THAT WAY
Meeting Was "Purely Accidental, "
But 1t Got There All the Same.

The following highly interesting
gossip is taken from the news col
umns Of Wednesdays Times Demo-
crat.
Several prominent Mississippians
were mingling among the delegates to
the bankers convention yesterday, and
strange as it may seem, they were
mostly men who have to do with poll
tics.
while they would not state that
they held conference, yet it was ap-
parent that Things Politically was
the theme of their discussion, and
that they had two objects in coming
to New Orleans at this time. One of
these was to discuss the possibility,
or to be more concise, the certainty of
the candidacy of A. A. KineannOn for
the governorship and get views from
different parts of the state as to the
possible candidacy of Governor Lon
gino for the United States senate.
"There is no political significance
in our being here" said one of the
most prominent of the Mississippians.
1--WE came down to take in the con-
vention, and all happened to meet
here, so you see there is absolutely no
politics attached to the visit. -
"Among the more prominent politi-
clans were A. H. Lopgino, A. A. Kin
cannon and George w. Carlisle, who
recently resigned the state treasury
ship. Governor LonginO has been
over in Biloxi investigating the condi-
tions of the oyster industry, and stop
ped over on his way to Jackson, Mr..
Kincannon came down from COlum-
bus, while Mr.. Carlisle arrived from
Jackson. The three met by accident,
they say, but as a natural result of
such meeting politics was discussed.
While Governor LOnginO has not an
nounced for the United States senate,
yet his friends are urging him to dc
so, and would not be surprised if he
followed their advice. Mr.. Kincan-
non, who is president of the Industrial
Institute and College at Columbus,
declined, as did the governor, to dis
cuss politics, but an intimate friend OF
Mr.. Kincannon stated that that gen
tleman would be candidate for gov
ernor and that there was no doubt o1
the result. He has east Mississippi

him to do is for him to make a win.
ming fight in the southern part of the
state, which he will have no difficulty
in doing. He was formerly state su
perintendent of education and is vel
known in all parts of the state, and
believe his election is assured if HI
decides to enter the campaign.
"As to Mr.. Kincannon himself
while he would not state definitel!
whether he would be candidate, lef
no doubt as to his intentions. HI
stated most positively that he was no
a candidate, but when asked if he wa
going to accept the presidency of tn

Texas, said mo, / am not, " ant
when asked if he would be at tn
head of the Columbus Institute again
replied that he did not think h

would. G. L. Hawkins, president
Of the First National Bank of Hat
tiesburg, a warm personal friend Of
Mr.. Kincannon, stated that the latter
gentleman would be the next governor
of Mississippi. He will not only
make the race, but he will win. :"
said he.
"Thus it will be seen that while
the bankers were busy discussing ques-
tions Of finance, the Mississippisns
were considering matters of moment
to two men, one of whom will be a
candidate for governor, and the other
probably a candidate for the United
States senate. The meeting in New
Orleans of Governor Longino and Mr.
Kincannon probably means a pooling
of interests in opposition to the Nc
Laurin combine, which has controlled
the political destiny of the state for a
number of years.

Jackson, Nov. 1.-THE mandamus

Cole by the board of trustees of the IN

supreme court for final decision, hav-
ing been appealed from the verdict of
Judge Powell, who ruled that the
auditor could not be compelled to
draw IL warrant for the interest,
amounting to about 5000, owing to
the fact that the Legislature had failed
to make an appropriation for this pur-
pose. Several complicated legal
points are involved.

worlds Jokes are limited-that Is to say the elementary jokes, which are the only ones that appeal to the million, and while the Homeric gods laughed at the lame leg of Hephaestue, Joe Millers lamenta- ble friend could laugh at Sir William Davenants lack of a nose. We have, too, the passenger on a ship who would not pray during a storm because he was only a passenger and was not supposed to look after the ship. We have the man who would not shed tears at the moving sermon because he belonged to another parish. And here is one, labelled 53 which is immortal in it's various incar- nations:

There is no joke about mothers-in-law, none about babies, very few about drunkenness, and only one, I belive, about tramp. No doubt the lack has been supplied in the American editions of Joe Miller.

Testing the Southern Ballot Laws.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 A test case on the grandfather clause in the new Alabama constitution will be beard before very long by the United States supreme court and owing to devel- opments at the recent elections the negro disfranchising provisions of the new Vir- ginia constitution will also be tested. The question has just been brought before the federal court at Norfolk on petition of three negroes, two of whom declare that they were refused registration on account of the understanding clause" though they say that they can read and write, while third, who based his claims to vote on military service, alleges that the service did not count because 1t was in an Indian war only. In form the peti- ton is for an injunction to prevent the canvassing of the congressional vote of the state. but the ultimate purpose Is to get a decision from the highest judicial authority on the constitutionality of the state constitution.
 That the object of the law both In Ala bama and Virginia, as well as in North Carolina and several other southern states which have remade or doctored their constitutions, was to evade the ff- teenth amendment of the constitution of the United States is perfectly obvious and not seriously disputed. Moreover, the method of evasion has been carefully worked out The amendment declares that the right to vote should not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previ- ous condition of servitude. Now, nothing is said of race or color in these new suf- frage clauses, and though the previous condition may be a factor in the disqual- ification. former servitude does not ap- pear as a direct cause.
 But a few words will suffice to show that the race discrimination Is very clear, nevertheless. In Alabama for example, though a general property and educa- tional qualification will be in force after the present year, illiterate whites have had the chance to secure the franchise for life while illiterate negroes have not. This was brought about by the following device: In a term extending from No- vember II, 1901, to December 20, 1902 a life registration was made possible for persons who had been in the military service, including the confederate service, and for their descendants and for per sons who could satisfy a political board that they were of good character and un- derstood the duties of citizenship. l Still, it is to be noted that though these | expedients are so generous to a large number of illterate whites, the benefic- | iaries cannot last forever, and the law | of the future Is a stimulus to the negro to qualify himself by thrift and school. ing. That certainly should be satisfac- | ton to the leaders of his race even ii the discriminating provisions of the new | constitution should not be ruled out by | the federal supreme court.
