In the history of this country there is

the one that ended last night. The three
contestants have been for three weeks
under the calcium light. No criticism
has been heard of the public or private
character of either OF the aspirants.
While the press of other States has
teemed with scandals in almost every
long DRAWING out contest, there has not

improper influence has attended the

HON. LEE s. OvERMAN.

Hon. Lee S. Overman was born in Sal
isbury January 3rd, 1854. In 1874 he en-
tered Trinity College, Randolph county,
and graduated in 1876. Upon the redemp-
1876, Mr.. Overman, a brilliant young man,
just out OF college, was made private
secretary by the great War Governor. In
that position Mr.. Overman made a friend
OF every man who called at the Executive
Office, and formed many strong friend
ships. He devoted his nights to the study
of the law and in 1878 was licensed to
practice law. In 1879 he resigned as
private secretary, returned to Salisbury
that has grown with every passing year.
He now commands a clientele second 10
that of no practitioner, at a specially able
bar IN 1886 he was elected a member
of the House of Representatives. from
Rowan, and has been elected five dill
ferent times to the House. He proved
himself a safe and wise legislator, and
his people have often called upon him
to serve them. His record is without
few. In 1893 he was elected Speaker o.
the House and proved one of the fittest
men who has filled that high office in a
quarter of a century. He is a splendid
parllamentarian, has commanding pres
ence, and made fine officer He has
held many positions of trusts and honor.
He was director and afterwards presi-
the administration of Governor Carr.
At the session of the Legislature of
1895, the Democratic caucus nominated
Mr. Overman as their candidate to sue
coed the lamented Vance in the United
States Senate. and he received the vote
OF every Democrat for that high office.
In 1900 Mr.. Overman was the Democratic
Presidential elector for the State-a at
large In that and in every other CAM
paign since he attained his majority he
made eloquent speeches for Democratic
candidates. He is a Democrat without
yariableness or shadow Of turning, and
has always been ready to serve his party
in the ranks or in leadership. He is an
eloquent and able campaigner; success
full and able lawyer; popular and wise
legislator of large experience; and is
we'll equipped for the great office Of
United States Senator.
Personally, Mr. Overman is a gentle
man Of high character, popular and az
fable gentleman, and enjoys the conf
dence and esteem of the people of the
whole State. He was married in ais
early manhood to Miss Mary Merrimon,
daughter of the late United States Sen
ator and Chief Justice Augustus S. Mcr-

A BIG DIFFERENCE.
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record
President Roosevelt seems determined
to force social negro equality upon the
people of this country. He shocked pub
lie sentiment and outraged the feelings or
all decent persons, at least in the South,
by inviting Booker Washington to dlne
with him. That was several months ago,
but last week he did worse than that by
inviting negro men and women to a spe-
cial reception at the White House, where
they were placed on a social equality with
the wives and daughters of Congress
men, many of whom at once left in dis
gust.
This was not a public reception, open
to everybody, but was one that could be
attended only by those specially invited
by card In this it was very different
from the occasion when Fred Douglas
and his white wife attended public re-
ception during Mr.. Clevelands first
term, about which Republican speakers
and papers have told so many false
hoods.

From the Prairie News of Oct %, 1853.

The ''regulr party nominees
seem to have been unfortunate In
all parts Of the State at. the recent
election. To P0ntotOc county,
which is STRONGLY Democratic,
the regular Democratic ticket
was defeated throughout. The
same thing occurred 10 EOxubee
euunty, and TO some extent In
Attala and other counties. In the
9Th Judicial District, Hancock IL
elected Judge, notwithstanding
Daniels was the Democratic nomi-
nee; and In the LIST district Patton
beats the regular nominee for Dis
trict Attorney. We infer from
the figures as they come to hand
that the people of Mississippi are
decidedly verse TO involving their
Judicial and county Offices 10 the
whirlpool OF national politics.
In addition 30 the above we may
give the following item from
