allegiance to no faction, ring or clique
and inspired only by a desire 20 do the
greatest good to the greatest number.
-Yazoo Herald.
In early life Major J. K. vsrdaman
earned a livelihood as a field hand. and
was said to be the best his employer

already defeated candidates for the
gubernatorial office, doubtless regret
the Leiore statesman did not continue
a field hand.-Natchez Bulletin.

man who are willing to see the truth
now admit that be will be elected.
Some Of Mr.. Noel's most ardent and
most enthusiastic supporter have quit
the fight, and Mr.. Critz sees that be Is
fighting against q vain hope. His men
are deserving him everywhere, only q
few Of his hirelings continuing in the
useless and hopeless task.-Water Val.

ter General Payne made the announce
ment of the latest development in the
post office investigation in a formal
brief statement as follows:
Daniel V. Miller, assistant attorney
IN the office of the assistant attorney
general for the post office department,
is charged with accepting bribe for a
decision in connection with a case be-
fore the department involving the
fraudulent use of the mails by John j.
Ryan & Co. The case has been in the
hands of inspectors w. ]. Vickery of
Cincinnati and r. NJ. Fulton of st.
Louis for some days. Complaint was
made by Inspector Fulton before a
United States commissioner in Cincin-
natl, and a warrant was issued.
