His reverent eyes could always trace
Gods image In the human face
And each man great or small,
He judged alone by moral worth
And claimed for each, by right of birth,
chance to live on Gods green earth
And share the hopes of all!
He knew the bulwarks of the State.
The things that guard and make it great
Lie not in brutal might:
But In the force of free consent
And honest statutes-framed and meant
To foster labor, peace, content,
Equality and right!
Thus from his his heart he sagely drew
In lines of light. forever true,
Our Nations august Chart
Tyrants and robbers hate and fear
That beacon thought so bright and clear.
That time and trial make it dear
To every freeman's heart!
And so we lift the loving cup
With bare, bowed heads and standing up
We give the name OF one
Who is our Democratic boast,
The Moses of our marching host,
Whose name we love, whose name we
toast
The name of Jefferson!

We lift a loyal loving cup,
And give the name of one
Who was the light of Freedoms host
Our fathers pride, our country's boast
name We love, the name we toast,
The patriot Jefferson!
He came like Moses, sent of God.
His pen, the wave-dividing rod
That opened Freedoms way
Out of the ancient. dark domain
OF violence and fear and pain.
Where bigots rage and tyrants reign,
Into the better day!
Wide minded. wise and wisely good.
His lucid spirit understood
The villainy of spoil.
That God Almighty never gave
One man however wise and brave,
The right to call another Slave,
And fatten on his toll!
He leveled up. he leveled down:
The besgar's clout. the monarch's crown
He held as equal things:
The children, playing by the door
Where dwelled the unknown. humble poor
He knew might do and count for more

and high upon the tall mountain tops where the
storm clouds brood and the tf1unders crash; and
away far out on the wide where the hurricane
howls music, and the big waves roll the chorus,
sweeping the march of God-there He brews it-that
beverage of life heath-giving water and every

In giving his opinion as to the
effect Of Fox's retirement Mr..
Noel. in an interview at Jackson
few days ago. said
Before Mr.. Fox 5 withdrawal
some Of the leading supporters of
Mr.. Vardaman and of Judge Critz
had said that Mr.. Fox's following
would defeat anybody who re
ceived it and that since his with
drawal each claimed to have re
ceived that support or a large
part of itand that their original
propositions We're correct they
Y uld each 3n defeated and make
his, Nnel'S. nomination secure
according 10 their own dec!ara-
tions. as he did not see how that
support could have a different
effect on them from that they
attributed to it. Seriously, he
said that Major Vardaman and
Judge Critz were as eager to get
all Of Mr. Fox's support as they
were any other support, and that
considering the lines on which
the canvass had been conducted
and the high and conservative
character Of much of that sup
port that he thought his chances
for the larger part of it superior
to theirs"

POLITICAL THIEF AND EXPERT

The Fulton Herald says: The
people of Mississippi now have
the opportunity Of voting for a
political thief Cat the same time a
smart mani and an expert gam b.

er's poem from who laid the

lege Students; a man who has
done something for his constit-
uents, but who is merely in the
race this time to introduce him
self without hope of being elect
ed this time" and-then it pro
ceeds to laud and magnify Critz
What we are interested in
knowing is who is the political
thief and expert gambler? What
constitutes political th;ever1 AID
expert gambling? l. the takiu2
of ID speech regarded as political
theft and is the Herald man
hitting al Vardamau or las he
accepted Proctor Kuott : para
phase OF Solomon'a saying that
all men are liars all politicians
are thieves-and is he applying

the expert gam bier? We shudder
to think of Noel and Vardaman in
this class-although if the Her
aids man plays at all it will be
we'll to be an expert if he plays
in jackson.
The Herald should be more
specific. All men, more or less,
are politicians and very few
do not enter into the realm of
chance.

Border Springs Notes.

The health of this community
is very good at present.
The farmers of this section are
getting along very nicely with
their crops considering the IN
favorable weather. The early
cotton planters had to plant over
on account Of the cold weather
and the recent very dry weather
has prohibited the last planting
from coming up.
Mr.. Byron Morris and wife,
of West Point, have been visiting
relatives in this community for
the past few days.
Mr.. Perry Stanley is spending
few days with his mother, Mrs.
S. G.. Stanley, of this community.
Quite a Der of the people
from this section attended the
Odd Fellows celebration at New
Bethel last Wednesday,.
The annual singing took place
at Border Springs last Sunday.
A large crowd was present. DR..
E. NJ. Jameson. of Caledonia,
was chosen chair for the
day. The conductors were Profs.
Halbert, Bradley, Pullen, Hull,
Thompson, Sanders and others.
The day passed off very pleas
antly. Although not near all the
people could be accommodated to
seats they were contented.
The annual singing will take
place at Harmony across the
State line net Sunday.
Our Sunday school is prosper
ing. Mr.. Aubra Stanley. our
efficient superintendent, is get
ting in some good work for his
school.
Prof. r. G. Morris and wife

While the cotton mills are good
things, the thought that millions
of our other raw resources are
being carried to the north and
brought back to US in finished
products is what exasperates.
The cotton mill question can be
regarded as practically settled
for the mills are already coming
to the fields. What is needed
now is for Southern capital to
develop the great timber, agri-
cultural and mineral resources
of the South that the millions of
profits in their manufacture may
be kept at home while profit
able employment may be given
to thousands.

Office department is found in the
statement that Senator Money

that they were held up by the
department or dumped out of the
mails by some negro employee.
