The past week has witnessed
many meetings of county execu-

and preparations are being ac-
lively made for the State pri-
mary. State and county candi-
dates have been assessed all the

of the election expenses. All over

From Sundays Paper.

A great battle is being waged
in Mississippi just now. 1t is
between the people and the poll
ticians. The latter for years in
absolute control of the State gov
ernment, through the medium of
conventions, have manipulated
and sacrificed it to meet the ends
of their own sweet will The
people, becoming tired of these
methods, lave resolved to have a
voice i'm the affairs of the State
and it is given them the first
time this year in the primary.
The politician see their end in
the election of Vardaman and a
new order of things and they are
doing their best to defeat him.
They know with Vardaman as
governor political trades and
iobbery affording them opportu-
nifty will be ended and hence their
fight. The people should not be
misled in this fight against Var
daman. From their standpoint,
he is the safest, best man in the
race and will forever protect
them against political fraud, job
berry and corruption.

THE VIENNA CONVENTION.

! Inc COuNeublO4 IOT biIC III
provement of the Tombigbee
river just closed at Vienna was
characterized by a spirit of en-
thusiasm rarely seen in a meet
ing where every element of poll
tics is eliminated, and by the
number and personelle of the
delegates present. Every Sec
tion of the country interested
sent up a large quota of distin-
guished and able representatives.
The Hon. John Rogers, of Sump-
ter county, who was made per-
manent chairman, opened the
convention with a vigorous, busi-
ness-hke address in which he
not only set forth the pOssibili-
ties of the TOmbigbee Valley
with a navigable river, but in
fused into the convention a set
tied purpose and determination
to accomplish the great work for
which the meeting was called.
The people along the river front
who have suffered so long for
lack of adequate river transpOr-
tatiOn and whose only means of
reaching the markets of the
world is by railroads a long way
off and difficult to reach, listen
ed with marked pleasure to the
splendid speeches of the two
eminent national representatives
in attendance. The Hon. E. S.
Gambler, who has done so much
for his own district. was accord
ed an particularly by
the Alabama delegates when he
pledged them to leave nothing
undone so far as it might lay in
his power to put them in com
mercial touch with the world.
Mr.. Gambler is an entertaining
and instructive speaker and
what is better still a worker of
unhaging energy. His advocacy
of any measure means much and
his further efforts in behalf of
the river will go a long ways to
secure an appropriation. The
speech of TIE convention which
commanded the closest atten-
tiOn was that of Col. Bankhead,
the distinguished member of the
Rivers and Harbors committees
While the Colonel hitherto has
been friendly to the Tombigbee
his project for making the War
riOr navigable left him very little
time to look after his cOnstitu-
ents' interests elsewhere. His
unqualified mitment, there
fore, to the cause of the Tom
bigbee was greeted by his audi
tors with every manifestation of
approval and qualification. 1t
has long been felt that to have
his master hand shaping affairs
means success. AS no man in
national legislation save the
chairman of the Waterways com
mittee himself f-has greater infiu-
ence in shaping internal improve
ments than Col. Bankhead. it is
safe to say all the year naviga-
tion from Columbus to Mobile
will be a cOnsummation of the
near future.

VIENNA RIVER IMPROVEMENT CONVENTION.

If attendance. if interest, if
enthusiasm, if work are auguries
of success then the i'm provement
of the Tombigbee river pro-
ject long dear to our peoples
assured beyond peradventure OF
doubt. If the hearty co-opera-
ton and work of the people of
great Bigbee Valley in conjunc-
tiOn with the efforts of Missis-
sippians across the line can be
productive of results then sue
cess is bound to reward those
who have been laboring in sea-
son and out for the cOnsumma-
ton of this enterprise County
and State lines have been obliter-
ated and the people Of the vast
area interested with common
purpose and sympathy are NOV
ing forward in harmony to at
tain the coveted end.
The Vienna convention was a
pronounced success. Designed
to awake and impress the peo-
pie of the Alabama section with
the Importance of the undertak-
ing and its far-reaching effects,
and to commit them to the sup
port Of the project. every end
desired was attained. The de-
cision to hold the convention at
Vienna was almost an inspira-
ton. Centrally located in the
vast section affected and inter
ested it was accessible from
every point and the attendance
represented every point of the
compass. The success of the
convention is principally due to
Capt W. 3. PEBBLES. He left
undOne nothing which would
have added to it's success, and
he spared neither money, time
or personal work in its behalf.
Every arrangement was fault
lessly perfected; every provision
for the comfort, convenience and
pleasure of the large mum Der
present was attended to and the
crowd was delightfully."- enter
tanned.
The convention was held In
large warehouse overlooking the
majestic Bigbee. The commit
tee of arrangement under chair
man, Messrs. A. L. Barnes and
A. V. Buntin had provided an
ideal place of meeting. Large
double doors in each end of the
building provided light and ven
tilation. Benches were arrang-
ed throughout the building and
the aisles were carpeted with
cotton bagging. In one end of
the warehouse the platform was
erected. Rugs and art squares
gave it a suggestion of cOziness,
while great bowls of flowers on
center tables added fragrance
and beauty to the scene. Ever
greens were entwined around
the great columns and in the
rear of the stage was the sign in
great letters 'Tombigbee I'm
provement Convention, Wei
come To All. Walters walked
through the crowd of delegates
with ice water and palmetto fans
were provided for all.
The delegates began to arrive
early. They came in fine vehi-
cles and their stock denoted the
