Hon. Fuller Fox Retires

The retirement of Hon. Fuller
Fox from the gubernatorial race
was formally announced in card
over his signature which appear
ed in Sunday 5 press. Mr.. Fox
spoke in Aberdeen last Saturday
night and at the conclusion ofhis
speech issued the following:
Aberdeen, Miss, April %, 1908.
To My Fellow Citizens of the State of
Mississippi:
Much as [ regret it, / am com
PEELED by the strongest personal
reasons arising from circumstan-
ces which | could not foresee
and over which | have no control,
to retire Internationally from the
race for the office of Governor.
Under present conditions it is
Impossible for me to continue
actively in the canvass, and un-
less l could do so it would be an
injustice to both my friends and
myself to remain longer in the
contest.
The chief concern [ feel in
taking this step is for the friends
who have supported me SO loyal
/ ~. [ owe them debt of graft
tude which [ can never repay,
but which [ will always recog-
nize and remember. The cam
paign of misrepresentation, cal
umny and falSehOod, backed by
the corrupt use of money, that
has been waged against me with
so much bitterness, has only
made them the more jealous in
my support. Representing, as
they do, the best thought, aspi-
ratiOnS and patriotism of the De-
mOcracy of Mississippi and of
our Christian civilization, unin-
fuenced as they were by faction
al politics, personal prefer ment
or petty am bitiOn | prize their
confidence more highly than the
office of Governor, and as long as
I retain it and have the con-
sciOuness that my candidacy has
| to do for truth and the best in
terests of the State, I can well
afford to despise the enemies /
have made. If in the canvass I
have in any way contributed to a
proper solution of public ques-
tiOns, which are of such vital i'm
portance at this time, I will be
more than gratified. [ have the
greatest confidence that the good
Judgment and patriotism of the
party will secure a result worthy
of the great Commonwealth.
A. r. Fox.

Old Home DESTROYED.

Friends in this city regretted
to learn that the home of the late
John Richards near Penn, Miss,
was destroyed by fire last Mon
day morning at eleven o'clock.
The fire was started by sparks
from the chimney falling on the
roof and it destroyed the home
completely and damaged sur
rounding property. All of the
household furniture from the
first story was saved, but the
second story and all of its con-
tents was a total loss. There
was no insurance and the loss is
estimated at S22,O00.00. Mrs.
Richards and Miss May will
make their home with Mr. Chas.
Richards in the future.

tions announce that over three
hundred dollars have been pledg-
ed.
In the appointment Of Judge
J. NJ Dickinson as one of the
com missioners to decide the
Alaskan boundary, President
Roosevelt hOnOrs an eminent and
distinguished lawyer who will
reflect great credit upon his
country and return with new
laurels to crown a career of lofty
achievements. The commission

During Judge Dickinson s alb
sence, Judge Bonner. of Tennes-
see, will act as General Counsel
for the Illinois Central railroad.
In this, his old home, news of his
appointment is received with
pleasure and pride.
Mr.. Charles Baskerville 5 many
COlum bus friends are glad to
learn of the honor he is winning
in new field. AS a lecturer,
Mr.. Baskerville is adding to the
splendid reputation he has gain
ed in the world of chemistry and
on his recent appearance in New
York, made a fine impression.
A marked recognition of his
ability comes in a fattering offer
from Tiffany to superintend inn
pOrtant chemical tests in New
York this summer. AS the work
will not interfere with Mr.. Bask-
erville's college duties, he will
probably accept.
Mrs. Sarah Sheffield, Mrs.
MCGEE, Miss Mary Harrison and
Miss Annie Wade O'Neil have
been elected delegates to the
State convention of the Daught-
ers of the Confederacy to be held
in Water Valley May 81. Mrs.

dent of the local chapter, was
recently cOmplimented by being
made honorary vice-president of
the Edward Carey Walthall Chap
ter in Holly Springs.

PLAY Ball.

COlum bus is growing and she
is coming baseDallically. The
team which will step on the field
Friday afternoon to do battle
with the A. & M. ties for the
mastery will be the strongest
initial line up which this city has
ever had. Bill Yeates, the great
sOuth-paw, who has twirled in
nearly all the southern cities of
note, will be in the box for Co
lumbus, and Cox will be behind
the curtain for the back work.
YeateS will not be a regular
member of the Columbus team
this season for the reason that
he is signed elsewhere, but he is
sure to pitch a fine game and if
you like cham pionship twirling
come out. The lineup this year
will be strong. 1t will consist of
many of the old time favOrites
and several new ones. Morgan
is a new man from Montgomery
who arrived yesterday. He is
train-stiff and sore but will get
in shape for the first bag by
Friday. The Colemans, jim and
I'd, who gave such good accounts
of themselves last year in Col
umbus uniforms, will be playing
second and short and Robertson.
a bright, fast, snappy youngster
from the city over the way also,
will be at third. Little joe
WOfford will be in left, Ed Har-
ris will be in center and Prather
will be in right while there will
be several good men in reserve.
Joe Wofford is using the stick
somewhat this year and Harris
is batting in old time form while
Prather is regarded as a mild
sort of slugger himself.
The team has been hard at it
all the week aud Manager Ottley
is pushing them to the limit.
They will be on fine edge Friday
and if Starkville gets that game
Columbu will likely go-out of
the business and appoint re-
ceiver. For several cranks it is
known that petitions in bank
ruptcy will be filed if Jack Har-
dy's rOoters duplicate the per-
Torrance of last year. The Col
lege will have Carter in the box
and he is an old Tulane twlrler
with a record, SO they say. The
team this year IS said to be bet
ter than it was last year and that
is saying a great deal.
Game called at 2:30 in the af-
ternoon; admission 15c and 25c-
Come.

An event beautifully in accord
with the season was the card
party with which Miss Daisy
Sheriff. entertained the Tuesday
Whist Club Friday afternoon in
stead of the usual day of gather
ing. Boughs of hawthorn. fra
grant with the breath Of April,
and feathery ferns made lovely
decorations, and were arranged
with artistic design in halls and
drawing room. This prevailing
color scheme Of white and green
was effectively in evidence in
every detail, and was particular
ly pretty in the ice course of
mint sherbert and in the fruit
pudding over whose snowy sur
faces were touches of green here
and there. Later, coffee was
served. Exciting whist games
were played, and the contest re
suited in the first prize, a hand
some rOcoccO jardiniere being
awarded to Miss Yonge, of Geor-
gia. The guests We're: Mrs. J..

In the presence Of Miss Clara
Conway, Columbus welcomed
within her gates a brilliant and
accomplished woman of the South
whose success along varied lines
has been signal and unequivOcal.
Miss Conway was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. FentOn Robertson
and on Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Robertson invited a company of
friends to meet her and hear of
"A Summer in Europe " Miss
Conway talked delightfully."- Of her
foreign travels, and quite capti-
waited the audience by the force
of agracious and magnetic per
sOnality, as well as by her intel
lectual attainments. She is a
finished speaker and gave most
interesting glimpses of days of
wandering abroad.
