Hon. John Sharpe Williams.


Southern Reporter, (Sardis.)
This gentleman, who stands
high with Misslssippians gener-
orally, and isvery popular, has 'in-
serted' himself into the Senatorial
campaign in behalf of his friend,
Senator Money. We confess, how.
ever, that we are not able to see
wherein, or how, he has advanced
the interest of his friend, or done
him any good whatever. He says
Mr.. Money went to Cuba on his
advice, and he is responsible for
1T, and that he went, not as q
United States Senator, but as
fernando d. Money. Mr.. Will
Jams should have gone further
end said whether Mr.. Money drew
his salary as Senator while he
was working for New York
newspaper on a bigger salary
than that which he received as
Senator, and whether the news
paper bought his letters from Sen
ator or Citizen Money. And.
further, whether q Senator has a
right to absent himself from his
seat in the Senate, and from the
country, write letters at an ex
travagant figure for New York
newspaper, and, at the same time
draw the salary of a Senator. The
lamentcd Walthall didn't do this.
He resigned his seat in the Sen-
ate, went to Cuba, regained his
health and was subsequently, re-
elected to the Senate. He did not
90 on anybody's responsibility but
his own, and, finding it necessary
to his health that he should 60.
he did not leave his State half
represented in the Senate, nor
draw pay tor service he was not
performing. He resigned, and his
seat was filed by appointment to
the end of his term. Mr.. Will
Jams said nothing about this, nor
did he make any comparison OF
the two cases, or the two Sena.
tors. Hon. John Sharp Williams
not only did Senator Money no
good, but he did himself harm by
advising n Senator to vacate his
seat, go abroad-w whether for his
health or pleasure makes no diff
| ference draw his salary, and add
to it by writing for newspapers at
high pay, But congressman and
legislators have always had sim
gular ideas about the uses and

s1.oo A YEAR
All for Longino.

From our Winona Correspondent
| Senator Money must feel lone
some in this campaign when he
sees Hon. Monroe McOlurg in
the L0ngino column. Gen. Nc
Clurg has placed Money in nom
,'ination, if our recollection is not
! faulty, at every Congressional
Convention ever since Gen. Nc.
Clurg has been voter. He also
! placed him in nomination for the
United States Senate. But Gen.
McClurg has doubtless discover
ed, as the people of Mississippi
seem tc be doing, that Money is
the most overrated man that ever
held Congressional commissi on,
and Gen. McClurg is too patriotic
a Mississippian to longer lend his
valuable aid and influence to MI.
Moneys continuance in office.
Then there is Hon. Earl Bre W.
er, q stalwart Money supporter,
who is now espousing the cause
of Gov. Longino. There is Hon.
J. W. Buchanan, the able editor
of the Grenada Sentinel, which
has done more to keep Money in
Congress than any other paper in
Mississippi, an outspoken and
able champion of Gov. Longino.
Hon. G. L. Sivley was heretofore
one of the strongest aud most
effective supporters that Col.
Money had. He too has sickened,
like the others, of Moneys long
tenure with such poor results to
the people OF Mississippi, and is
now one Of the ablest supporters
of Gov, Longino. There is the
brilliant Longstreet, q host with
in himself, than whom Gov. Lon-
gino has no more able supporter.
There is Hon. L. M. Southworth,
q jealous supporter Of Mr.. Money
in the past, who is now q valiant
supporter Of Gov. Longino. Son.
atOr Money never had q more ac.
tive or earnest supporter than Col.
A. e. jennings, whose influence
in Yalobusha, and surrounding
counties is second to that Of NO
man. Col. jennings is now de-
voting all his influence in energy
and zeal to the election of Gov.
ernor Longino. Hon. w. f. Stew
ems was strong supporter Of Col.
Money, and unless memory fails
us, was his able manager in tho
Senatorial caucus when he was
nominated in 1896. Judge Stew
ems Is now a. strong supporter Of
Coy. Longino. Where is Hon. J.
F. McOool, Q one Of the strongest
Money supporters to be found in
the State when Money was last
candidate, but who is now one Of

Moneys wheel house, living as
they do in and around his home

ANNUAL MEETING HELD
OF THE MASONIC PROTECTIVE
SOCIETY.

Omeers Elected nsr the Ensaing Year
All the Officers Re-sIsctsd-AlI Have

alton FlOurtshing.
The annual meeting of the officers
and managers Of this association was
held last evening at their rooms. $50
Chapel street, at which the following
officers for the ensuing year We're elect
ed: Hon. N. D. sperry. president;
Julius Twiss, vice president; T. Parsons
Dickerman, treasurer; DR.. Frank H.
Whittemore, medical director; w. A.
Beers, secretary. Finance committee,
Essi Stannard, Frederick L. Potter and
Miner G. Story. These officers have
managed this society in most sue
cessful manner ever since its intstitu-
ton over twenty-five years ago. Dur
ing the past year only five assessments
have. been laid and recently ten new.
members have been added. A nice sur
plus of funds is in the hands of the
treasurer and the association is in a
very ffourisning and profitable condi-
ton.
Its membership has been limited by
the board of directors to 500, for it has,
been demonstrated that in large MEM
bership so many deaths occur each year
as to cause many who are unable to
pay the increasing number of assess
ments to drop out, thereby causing the
utter failure of some of the larger bene-
fit associations within the past few
years. Another good featcre of this So
ciety is that the assessment fees are
not increased, as most other associa-
tions have done but keep their assess
ments the same rs when first started,
only $1.10 at each death, thereby not in.
fiicting burden OF taxation on their
members.
This society is strictly family bene-
fit for Masons; the wife, mother, sister
or daughters of members Of the frater-
mites can join-females from seventeen
to fifty years of age, and males from
twenty-one to fifty years. At present
no membership fee is required, simply
a fee of $1.1Q at each death as they may
occur. and each beneficiary receives as
many dollars as there are members at
the time os death of the member, and
is laid within thirty days after ass
sessments are laid. The board of direc-
tors meet once ecah month to receive
applications for membership, etc. r.
Bylaws, blanks for membership, etc,
can be obtained of the secretary, w "A.
