IN MISSISSIPPI.

Under tbs above caption the Nash
vile American, one of the leading

Mississippi gubernatorial race which
must, of necessity, come from an
biased, unparalleled observation, and
we reproduce it to show the existing
sentiment OF comparison moulders
Of public opinion in state other
than the one directly affected 1t
says:
THE primary held in Mississippi
to nominate a governor resulted ii
mo choice" and there is to be a
run off, between the two leading
candidates. The candidate who re-
ceived the largest number of votes is
Maj Vardaman, who was a major in
Mississippi regiment during the
Spanish-American war, and who is
the editor of a country weekly, the
Greenwood Commonwealth. Va1da-
man, who employs the personal p.O-
noun [ IN his editorials, is thus de-
scribed by the Birmingham Age
Herald, and the description is good
as far as it goes: Editor Varda-
man, who has killed two men and
who wears long hair and an i'm
FASHIONED tongue, is before The
people for governor. If Mr..
Yardaman has been nominated the
reactionists are in the saddle in
Mississippi, and q blow has been
struck at Democratic asc5ndency iii

which would mean his election,
would be an injury to the state, fact
which the more thoughtful and clear
thinking citizens fully realize.
Vardaman has an appearance and a
manner Of speaking that are attrac-
tive. F.. He is of type by no means
new in the south and in DO sense an
advantage to it. 1t is possible
though not probable that the second
primary will result in Vardaman
nomination. His election would be
a mistake the results of which would
be felt beyond the confines of Missis

faint idea of the resources back be-
hind it for rapid and satisfactory
work.
In the first place its presses, the very
latest pattern, are all geared to and
run by electricity, as also the type
setting machine, which, through the
attention of two persons, easily does
the work of five, commodity which
but few offices in a town the size OF
Hattiesburg can boast Of.
And to make complete the whole,
force of six compositors is employed,
each an adept and artist iii his line,
rendering it possible for the office to
undertake at any hour of the day
almost any job and deliver it before
closing time.
In the Offices completeness, the
whole field of job work is provided
for, not excepting anything, and we
invite orders, promising the neatest
work possible and promptness of
delivery which will not fail to evoke
praise.

Mr.. Vardaman advocates a division
Of the school fund. He has never
said how it can be done. He knows
it can only be done by abolishing
public schools, or by overcoming both
the state and federal constitutions.
We cannot hope to get over the
constitution of the United States in
one day. So, then, to follow Mr..
Vardaman means to abolish public
schools. 1t is a hard problem to
have to contribute to the negro s:edu-
cation, when we see no good results.
But there is q deeper question.

Mr.. Vardaman speaks of several
radical changes in our system-but
cannot be prevailed upon to suggest
how any of them are to be accom-
plished. Should we not cling to he
man who holds to the victories al
ready won, rather than follow The
one who surrenders these and seeks
other things but will not venture n
suggestion az to how they may be &C
complished?

their children. Abolish the public
schools and they are left nothing.
The wealthier classes pay most9 Of
the taxes and are able to fight their

of our truest men. Must these be de-
