TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY MAY 8, 1903.
An Open Letter from
Gen. j. H. Sharp.

ColuHlDuS, MISS, april oU, lJU0.
To the voters of Mississippi:
| am candidate for State
Treasurer at the August primary.
What may be my views upon
questions of State policy, further
than that | am in accord with my
party, is matter of no concern.
Your Treasurer will have no laws
to enact he will have no laws to
construe; no laws to enforce. His
duty will be to keep himself hon
lest and not steal your money; to
exercise Judgment in selecting as
sistants who are best qualified and
who will neither steal nor misap
proprlate your money.
When partial friends first sug-
gested that be a candidate, the
Hon. Clay Sharkey, Representa-
tive from Kinds and always inter-
ested in what concerns Confeder.
ate comrade or Confederte memo
ries, wrote me:
81 see you are being mentioned
as candidate for State Treasurer.
| hope you will consent to become
a candidate. Tie only prerequisite
for the Office you possess in the
highest degree, that is honesty.
The office is a sine cure and should
be given to some man who has
rendered the State distinguished
service. Regarding you as one .of
our bravest soldiers in war and
best citizens in peace, [ give you
carte blanche to- draw on me for
any service to that end"
Your support, fellow citizens,
as an approval of this expression
would be indeed a compliment and
would inspire me to renewed con-
secration to the service of the peo-
pie of Mississippi.
When Mississippi first needed
my services she called me from
the quiet pursuits of farmer to
the camp of the soldier. SO un-
learned was | that I did not know
the difference between "Right-
shoulder Shift" aud Order Arms"
For four years wherever the Con-
federate flag foated was my home.
My reputation is in the keep
ing of my comrades. Returning
to my farmer life NJ Mississippi
again called me to cooperate with
George, WalthalI, Featherstone,
Barksdale, Stone, Tucker and
all good citizens to drive out the
carpet -baggers who were robbing
her people of the little left from a
desolating war.
Four times l have been called
by my county people to serve
them in ia the Legislature. | do
not claim to be one of Mississippi S
great citizens, but | do claim to be
one of her good citizens. who, like
thousands of yourselves, has ever
given to her my best services.
Fol the favorable reception of
my candidacy | return grateful
thanks. My old comrades are
ans wering to roll call all along
the line and the young men are
bearing to me tokens of affection
showing that gratitude is not dead
nor love d dream.
Respectfully,
j. HI SHARP.

A Trip to Lauderdale Springs.


place, Lauderdale Springs, last
Sunday, gave the writer fine OPP
portunity for seeing what had
been done by the planters in the
prairie regions in the way of plant
ing their crops and in what condi-
tion they are. All along the line
Of the Mobile and Ohio the same
condition exists. The land has all
been plowed and planted and in
these respects is in as fine fix as
we ever saw it. There has been
as much done ~ this way as it is
possible to have done in the same
length of time. The crops are,
eyerwhero, not coming up well.
In some places there are fair
stands Of early planted corn and
some of this has received its frs
plowing and looks we'll. But the
stands of cotton are very defective
and unless rain comes soon much
of it will have to be planted over.
There are great skips in the rows
and what is up looks yellow and
is taking what is called, in the
prairies, "sore shin," from
which the plant dwindles and final
ly dies.
Throughout the entire prairie
region last fall and winter there
was large exodus of negroes
which cut down the supply of
field hands to an appreclahle ex-
tent In some Localities the re-
duction was great from this cause.
But, notwithstanding this, there
seems to have been enough left
for the wants Of the country. We
were Informed that there is
larger area in cultivation this sea-
son than there was last year. A
great area that has been lying out
has been put in and the hands that
are there now seem to be able to
hold the farms up to their stand.
ard. There has been nothing lost
by this exodus 1t has always
been our idea that there were en-
tireIy too many negroes in that
fine region, for the good of the
farmers and themselves
After leaving the prairies and
entering the sandy lands Of Ken
per and Lauderdale counties we
found n general complaint. There
has been no rain down there for
seven or eight weeks. Neither
corn or cotton is coming up aud
the seed are lying in the ground
without terminating. Farming op-
eratiOnS are at stand still wait
ing for rain.s The farmers are
gloomy and discouraged. If rain
does not soon come failure is writ
ten for them once more. As
rule the farmers of these counties
are small land owners who do
their own work. They are a
frugal, intelligent, aud Industrious
body and can i'll afford to meet an-
other disastrous failure. We SIM
cerely trust that II kind providence
may avert it.

KYLE WITHDRAWS.
Unable to Make a Thorough Canvas.
as Candidate for State
Treasurer.

Baldwin, Miss, May 4.--(Spe-
cial. )-Hon. A. S. Kyle has made
public the following letter with
drawing from the race for State
treasurer:
To the People Of Mississippi:
| am unable physically to make
thorough canvass of the State,
hence in justice to myself as we'll
as my friends | have decided to
withdraw from the race for State
treasurer. TO the many friend
over the State who kindly espous-
ed my candidacy and have been
giving me their support, | desire
to return my most sincere thanks.
Basing my claims to your suffer
age on my record as a business
man and public servant, the fact
that SO many of my fellow citizens
promised me their support will be
an inspiration to me to be more
patriotic in the future and to work
more earnestly for the glory Of
Mississippi and the happiness of
her people.
Most thankfully yours,
A.. S. KYLE.
Mr., Kyle has served his people
well in the legislative councils OF
the state and has many friends
who will regret to hear of his
physical inability to continue in
the race for treasurer, In his
withdrawal he takes with him
their best wishes for speedy resto-
ration to health and their hopes
that in the future they may have
the opportunity to elevate him to
higher places and honors.

The woman who really loves fears to
lose love she prizes, and for that reason
love can make no demand Of her to which
her heart will not respond.
The little woman is more aggressive
though IN this regard than her big sis
ter. In fact she is spoiled, and will have
her own way if startled by the crack Of
doom.
She Is really not as amiable as one
larger, because on the same principle OF
little things she notices trifies and Is irri-
tated. Then she conceives an idea that
because she is little she is being imposed
upon
The consequence is that she often takes
offense and notices trifies not intended.

self, her mouth as pouting and enticinH
as the rosebud lips Of child, and yet,
beyond and behind it all, the wee maiden
has often a will of iron that Is proof
against pleadings and threats.
Little people are notoriously stubborn,
and four-six little woman can look at .
six-four man in way that reduces him
to subordination long before referee
could count him out.
That is one of her little ways. How
she does 1t no man has ever been able to
guess, but we have all seen masculine
giants show large and elegant bunch Of
white feathers and go down and out like
a collapsed balloon IL pigmy sort of
little woman just looked at him in a GER
tain tone of voice-and there is where
man gets awfully fooled on the dainty
little woman.
In her nature, as have said, she in
clines to little things, save when 1t comes
to picture hats, and the little woman has
never yet seen confection of chiffon and
ribbons and plumes that she thought too
large to top OF her wee small anatomy.
But she likes little things as a rule,
and yet might make another exception,
the timer the woman, the bigger the man
she will want, and to this end will ply
her fascinations on the largest specimen
in sight. and none other will interest her.
But back to the subject of little things.
Her personal belongings she wants as
dainty as herself In the matter of dress
she is harder to please and more observ-
ant of trifies than q larger woman; in
other words, she u more particular and
would pick flaws that others would not
notice.
In her home she is 80 neat as to border
on being nasty NICE" much to the dis
comfort Of her family and wants. She
will see things that no one else would
ever discover and these trifes serve to
irritate her.
II one observes closely, there is Q

mighty difference in the, respective de-
mesnes presided over by large or small
women. Such differences as may have
escaped notice at the time. but which. f
recalled, are only too evident.
A large woman would hardly fit into the
environment Of her smaller sister. Life
Is built on proportiopate lines which goes
to make harmonious whole.
The dainty little woman is very sweet
and refreshing to the eye. Men and
women alike make pet Of her, and she
becomes spoiled
A large woman thrown in contact with
dainty little one will assume almost q
mans protecting attitude in relation to
her. She will feel In q measure respon-
sible and will do almost znything to make
her little protege comfortable, with some
thing Of mans instinct Of ch.valry.
However, when it comes to a test Of
endurance or to a question of viii power,
the little woman Is apt to discover an i'm
mense amount Of force. She is rarely a
coward, and the instinct of fear is less
developed in her than In her larger sister.
She is something of fighter too, and
full Of pluck. until it is often both anus
ing and amazing to md what lot Of

rarely masters the art of growing old
gracefully
However. the dainty little maid has it
pretty much her own way while she is
young and charming. Men speak of her
as such dear little thing or ''such
pretty little thing" in a tone that almost
carries with it a caress. While it would
be tantamount to an insult to say of her
splendid looking sister. such a dear big

thing equally questionable or suggestive.

He would never have the courage 20 face

The little woman has an immense ad-
vantage over the large one in her sunny
youth. Men entertain a more chivalrous
sentiment toward the tiny maid, whom
they seem to think it bounden duty to
look after, and toward whom to exercise
sort of protecting espionage.
The larger girl, they fancy, can take
care of herself, while the wee mite Of
femininity needs a mans strong right

choice.
Now, the little maid is not always as
tender and fragile as she looks, for OBJ
servation and experience prove that nine
out of ten are triple-plated punches of
nerves, energy, vitality and endurance

The little woman is generally mighty
sweet and lovable, until you try to oppose
her. and then she inaugurates surprise

The trouble is, she is spoiled. Looking
