Where Did tie Oct 1t.

Much is being said by the vicksburg
Herald, the Natchez Bulletin and re-
flected by few lesser lightsin the jour-
nalistic armament OF Mississippi, about
a Doodle campaign. We do not attempt
TO defend or charge any candidate with
the use OF Doodle. There has been no
evidence adduced to prove that Doodle
has been used by any one-only vague
insinuations--dri mumblings like
those recently made by one Warner Of
Meridian.
Speaking OF money, however, If one
we're inclined to be pertinent, the old
question asked Croker, "where did you
get it2" might well be asked Major Var
daman. He went into this race ga bust
ed community" The raco is costing
him thousands OF dollars. Heis making
an expensive canvas. To who has he
placed himself under obligation for the
the money! "Where did he get it?"
There is no use Of his saying to the
public, in answer TO this question, "none
OF your business" His creditors will he
his masters, II he is elected. Greater
men than Vardaman have worn the coll
lar debt has forged, even though they
found it CALLING Biloxi Herald.

The Presidents Mother.


That James K. Vardaman win be de-
feated for Governor of Mississippi by an
overwhelming majority is foregone
conclusion. Even ifhe had not written
and published that vile editorial about
Rooseyelt's mother, there was no chance
for him to win, but since the wide pub
lic1ty that article has been given by the
press thousands of his hitherto strongest
supporters have renounced him.
The following communication signed
'Decency,' appeared in recent issue OF
the Ramona Gazette and it gives bit
of Mrs. Roosevelt's history:
"It is discreditable to any man TO use
coarse and discrespectful language in
connection with any lady; but that used
by Major Vardaman concerning Roose-
velt's mother is particularly unfortunate
and coming from Southern man. mas
much as the late Mrs. Roosevelt was not
only Southern by birth, but was true to
the Confederate cause in the very midst
of its enemies, narrowly escaping hav-
| ing her house in New York raided by
displaying the Confederate flag from her
window.
some of her brothers.. Commodore Bull
! lock, OF the Confederate navy, was the
man who had built and got to sea out oi
| English ports the Alabama, Shenando-
ah and other cruisers. Another brother
was lieutenant Bullock, who fired the
| last gun from the Alabama as she was
sinking after the engagement with the
Kearsage Yazoo City News.

ed forward to renewed efforts, and close
personal campaigning Is in progress in
every county in the commonwealth.
A majority OF the State candidates
have practically perfected organization
in each OF tho seventy-five counties
and have friends at work in their respec :
tive interest. Some OF the candidates
have already visited every county in the
State and it Is the intention OF all to do
so who have opposition before the
campaign 10 brought to close. Never
before has tho solicitation OF votes by
mail and in person been so universal,
and handshaking is the order Of the day
in every community where State can
didate hove3 in sight TO garner up a
bunch OF votes.
The aspirants for the minor Offices con-
tinue TO follow the stellar attractions,
making their dates at points when they
are sure to meet large audiences, and
quite number OF them who, when the
campaign Op'hout tpilu hOb ubllNtT a
coherent fiye-mlnute speech, are devel-
oping into fluent orators, and few are
making the deplorable mistake Of talk
ing their audience to death IN speeches
ranging in length from forty minutes to
an hour and half. Windy deiverances
are particularly annoying at tho meet
ings arranged in honor OF one OF the
principal candidates AMI the small fry
who are given chance to talk occupy
all the time, often driving majority Of
the people away before the days pro-
gram Is concluded.
The plain fact OF the matter is that
the tendency OF the candidates 10 trave
in lunches is MISTAKE, and IL ia prov
ing a boomer ing for those who attempt
TO make speeches Of any length at pic
MICS or otherpublic gatherings where the
object OF the meeting is social as we'll
as political. Some of the candidates
are awakening TO a realization Of this
fact, and during the reminder OF the
campaign they will scatter about and
avoid the political caravans as much as
possible.

The Fate Of AbsoIam.

And there arose Absolam Vardaman, +,
a man Of great wind and hair, and he
rode forth on a hobby, making much
outcry against Tederious Roosevelt,
ruler of that land, and the people we're
pleased that Absolam did smite Tederius
with his voice, and he waxed strong and
did grow tat.
Then did Absolam say unto himself
"Lol I am strong; can do what plcaseth
me;" and he smote the mother of Tede-
rius with his Voice, and did write despi-
tefully OF her in his scroll, and did say
all manner Of evil things against her,
Then the people did rise up and say,
"yerily Absolam, you have struck a snag
this time and are up against it good and
strong and they smote him hip and
thigh and there was great slaughter
even unto the setting OF the sun. So
Absolam Vardaman's hobby did carry
him into the midst OF tight place, and
his long hair did do the rest, and his
loud voice availed him not.
For it was the custom in that land
that any man VINO should smite a wo-
man with voice or blow should be dealt
with after this manner.
! And his name was mud forever after

fire, together with quarters OF the en-
ployeea and half dozen freight cars.
Several boilermakers were engaged in
riveting an elevated tank, using red-hot
rivets. Some OF these fell into an uu-
derground tank filled with oil, which was
ignited. The flames spread in all direc-
tions so rapidly that the men who werc
working on ladder barely escaped with
their lives.
The laborers and their families who
occupied quarters in the buildings on the
side Of the railroad track made a very
pasiow escape, but were able, by work
to save their household effects. The
superintendent, f. w. Bowser, and the
corps Of clerks saved all the books and
records belonging to the works.
The immense column OF dense black
smoke which arose from the oil satura-
ted grounds, and sawdust beds could be
seen for fully twenty miles.
The intensity Of the heat warped the
steel rails entirely out OF line, some Of
them forming perfect, semicircle, caus-
ing a complete tie-up Of the railroad a
quarter of mile from tho bridge cross
ing the West Pascagoula river.
The tugs Mary, Eva, Gladys, Native
No. 2, Pic, Naptune and Victor were
pressed into service TO protect the bridge
and trestle and the F.. Gauticr Sons
sawmill site and resident property. The
Moss Point and Scranton fire depart
ments responded to call for help,and the
locomotive attached to the morning
freight train, which was held here by the
fire, was employed rs means Of trans
portation.
The burning OF these works will throw
over hundred men out OF employment,
and probably half dozen families are
rendered homeless. 1t is estimated tina t
the loss will aggregate quarter OF a
million dollars.
These creosote works were destroyed
by fire twenty-seyen years ago.

And the Pou.otoc special OF the same

The people came from all over the coun-

A Large Order.

Probably the largest order ever given
for paint in the State OF North Corolina,
was received bv the Odell Hardware Co.,
OF Greensboro, N. G., from w. A. Irwin,
Esq, Of Durham.
The order was for 5000 gallons of De-
voc lead-zinc paint, to be used on the
large Irwin Mills and their cottages now
being built in Hartnett County.
Many OF the leading paint manufactu-
rers were eager to secure this order, and
it speaks volumes that the preference
was given to Devoe lead-and zinc, which
is undoubtedly the foremost paint in this
country today.-Greensboro, ( N. c.

MONEY AND LONGING
MEET AT GREENWOOD
In Joint Debate and Discuss the L.
sues Of the campaign-"The uuut
on the 8ulrs Horn" Worries the
Bull.

Governor Longino filled his appoint
Inent at Greenwood, Leflore county. last
Monday by invitation. Col. Money was
present and had a division of time the
Senator leading off in a speech Of one
nour and a half, after being introduced
oy Hon, a. F. Gardner. He smoke IN
most laudable terms, ana was frequently
applauded.
sen Money devoted his time princi-
paily TO the charges, which, he said had
oeen made against him by Gov. Lonpi- :
no, and to Che race question stating that
ne did not care todiscuss the trust uuea-
ton or the tariff, preferrine to devote
the time allotted him - the race aues-
ton, which he stated to be the oyersha-
dowing, all-absorbing topic and burning
issue Of the times.
After dinner Governor Lonpino was
introduced by Ex-Attorney General
Monroe McClurg.
In the course Of his address, Governor
Longino said that Senator Monoy had
charged him with appointing to Office a
negro notary public who was negro in
Vicksburg. He stated that he had not
known at the time the negro was an
pointed thathe was negro, and that he
made this appointment upon the petit
tions Of the reputable white citizens OF
the community in which the appointee
lived.
He read an extract from the speech OF
Senator Money on the race question be-
fore the Senate, in which Senator Mon
ey stated that he had never moved or
voted against the confirmation of any
one, white or black, Democrat or Re-
publican, to any office since he had been
in the United States Senate.
The Governor stated that Senator
Money, in his speech had frequently re-
tered to and rolled under his tongue as
sweet morsel, the false report that he
had referred to the LAYING Of the corner
stone on Bird Of June, 1901, as "Confed-
crate rot"
He said no expression OF disrespect for
the Confederate soldier or the Confed-
crate cause had ever escaped his lips;
that If he left fan any impatient express
sion in his conversation referred to, it
was in regard TO the false reports which
had been circulated against him and
the originators of them; that he was
himself too young to be in the Confed-
crate army, being but small boy when
the war was over, but that his widowed
mother had contributed to the cause five
gallant soldiers as ever shouldered
musket, two OF whom wore left dead on
the field Of battle; that sooner than
speak one word of disparagement or
disrespect for cause 30 sacred to him,
his tongue would cleaye to the roof Of
his mouth.
He said that Senator Money had fire.
quently in his speech that morning re-
ferred to what the Senator designated
his ignorance, and referred to him in
this campaign as the "gnat on the ox's
horn" but, he said good-humoredly, it
had not been his experience that the
placid OK writhed and squirmed at a
gnat upon his horn as the Senator had
heen doing throughout the campaign.
There was a great deal of good hu-
mo.ed laughter at these salIies by the
friends of both candidates, and the Gov
emor closed amid great applause.

There was quite a wind storm in
Webster this morning about four
o'clock, and nearly all of our resi-
dents were aroused from their slum-
bers and waited for what was going
to happen. There is no government
wind gauge in the city, SO we cannot
tell its velocity, but it was fast
enough. A great many of the trees
were trimmed by the wind of limbs
that should have been taken off some
time since with a saw, and a very
noticeable feature was that people
who had trimmed their trees had no
loss, with the exception of one
instance. Several chimneys were
blown down The base ball grand
stand was all blown to pieces and
moved across the street. The plate
glass window in the building occu-
pied by Wanghop & Lee, and belong
ing to DIR. c. E. Brooks, was broken.
The damages will run up to about a
thousand dollars.

During terrific rain storm Saturday
four persons were killed at Forbes street
and Oakland avenue, Pittsburg, in a
peculiar manner.
A large American flag suspended from
a grocery store became soaked with rain
and a high wind blew il against an
electric light wire carrying two thou
sand volts, and the wire fell into the
street, one end lodging in pool of
water and charging il to high degree.
A man in crossing the street stepped
into the pool and fell dead instantly.
Shortly after this a surrey in which
were seven persons, came along AS
the driver approached the broken wire
hundreds of people tried to warn him of
the danger, but could not make him
understand until too late He tried to
pull away from the wire but the horse
stepped into the highly charged pool of
water and fell paralyzed. The occu-
pants of the surry Immediately began
to jump. Four ieaped from the side
opposite the wire and escaped injury,
but the three on the other side fell
right onto the wire and were killed
almost instantly.

A Heroic Young Woman.

Alta Lawrence, the young daughter
of a prominent farmer living near
Carthage. proved herself heroine by
restraining and driving home fractions
colt after it had crushed her cheek bone
and SO seriously injured one Of her eyes
that ii since had to be removed
While her father was temporarily
absent from home she hitched up colt,
as she had frequently done before, for
the purpose of driving ever to the hom e
of q neighbor.
While driving along the road the
animal became frightened and com.
menced to kick. 1t finally kicked over
the dashboard, striking the young
woman in the face, with the result
stated.
Notwithstanding that her face was
crushed and the sight of one eye
destroyed, the plucky young woman did
not abandon the horse and buggy, but
after controlling the animal succeeded
in driving it back home before she made
an effort to have her injuries attended
to.
