HIS OPINION.
Baptist Minister in Nashville Gives
His Opinion of James K.
Vardaman.

Brownsville, Tenn, Apr. 81, 1903
Mr.. Walter n. Hurt,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear SIR
You ask me for my candid opinion
of Of Mai. James K. Vardaman as a
man, a gentleman. a Christian, a
scholar, and suitable person for the
exalted position of governor of the
commonwealth of the state of Mis-
sIssippi. l have no hesitency in
complying with your request.
During my pastorate in Green
wood / was Intimately associated
with Maj. Vardaman and [ found
him to be gentleman of the highest
type. Some who read his schathing
denunciation of political sin and de-
pravity might think him harsh, I'M
couth, and vulgar, but this Is not
true of him. He is elegant and re-
fined. His terrible invectives against
crookedness grows out of his intense
hatred Of it. I truly believe that If
there is an incorruptIble man in
Mississippi, that man Is James K.
Vardaman.
AS Christian he might not
measure up to the full standard, but
who does? l have often talked with
him In his office and L know that no
one reverses the divine Christ more
than he. He was not member of
my church-he was member of the
Methodist church-and so / do not
know how we'll he fulfilled his
Christian duties. / know that he be-
lieved in God, in the Word of God,
in the Divine Christ, and in an up
right life.
AS scholar he stands among the
first rank. There are men who have
had better college training, but you
will have to look mighty close to
find man in Mississippi that knows
more than James K. Vardaman He
is an intellectual giant.
AS to his suitability for the position
of governor | only express my opin-
ion, and | cannot better express it
than by saying if 1 were in Missis-
ppi would vote for him.
l am yours very truly,
J. b LAWRENCE.
Rev. J. B. Lawrence is pastor of
the Baptist church III Brownsville,
Tenn Is native Mississippian, a
graduate of Mississippi College and
was pastor of the Greenwood Baptist
church for many years.
The Progress takes no stock in the
candidacy of Major Vardaman for
governor, but since he is citizen of
the state and has had the serious
charge of being an atheist preferred
against him we are perfectly willing
to give him the benefit Of the above
letter handed us for publication.

Consul Griffith returned yesterday
from visit to Rio Grande City.
They had to come by private car
riage overland on account of the
quarantine which Matamoros has
placed against all travellers on the
National railroad from San Mi
guel.
The Brownsville public schools
opened this morning for the fall
term, although the State text books
have not been received. They will
be here within a few days, however.
In the mean time the teachers and
pupils will find enough work to en-
ploy their time.
There has been some talk on the
streets today OF a quarantine by
Brownsville against Matamoros. A
HERALD man interviewed Judge
Carson on the subject and learned
that there is no probability of such
action; that such move would be
entirely unwarranted. Judge Car
sons views appear sound and THE
HERALD believes he is exercising
due interest in this matter. The
Matamoros authorities seem to be
doing all that is necessary now, and
so long as conditions are as we'll
regulated as at present we see no
necessity for alarm.
]. H. Dishman from Muerto came
into the city today on the venire

DR.. C. C. Ford undertook to
Jump a fence Saturday and in some
way missed his purpose in landing
and fell, spraining, if not breaking,
his right ankle. We learn that he is
resting very we'll today and no
doubt will soon be out again.
Capt. E. N. Ruthven came down
Saturday from Hidalgo and is to-
day busy taking stock in the store
of Ruthven & Ford, preparatory to
selling out and quitting the bust
ness.

Josephine Hooks will be pleased to

ton to health from the attack of

today and took up the BAKER case.
A special venire of 200 men was
exhausted with only eight jurors
secured. Another venire of fifty
men was issued and court adjourn

from whence he will attend the
