FOX, THE ANTI VARDAMAN
CANDIDATE.

The Columbus Dispatch says"it
is intimated that Congressman
Fox enters the race for governor
with the assurance of support from
the most powerful faction which
has ever dominated this state"
This significant intimation is
supplemented by the Jackson cor
respondent of the Memphis News
in the following:
Opponents OF Vardaman have
been anxiously scanning the field
to find some man who will be able
to cope with him on the stump,
and who will counterfeit the effects
of the Vardaman authorizations
for. the-negro- policy. Thewhole list
of eligbles has been thoroughly
canvassed and fully n half dozen
public men who have been favor
ably mentioned" declined to enter
the contest, assigning various reas-
ons for thier refusal.
The list OF ellglDles nlally
dwindled down to former Lieuten-
ant Governor Stands and Con-
gresham Fox, and the announce
ment of the latter is taken to mean
It hat the full anti-vardaman
strength will be concentrated in
his favor and a spirited campaign
made on the sole issue OF whether
or not the negro shall be given an
equal education with the whites.
1t may suit "the powerful po-
litical faction, and the Republl-
can referee news syndicate, to no
rate it abroad that the sole issue
is Vardaman's anti-negro educa.
ton policy. There are some OF
us. however, so skeptical as to be-
lieve that the REAL issue is that
the Lehore candidate is feared as
a governor who will not take his
orders from the machine doml-
nance. For the sole issue is a
fad dressed out as a scarecrow-
the real one" is a cold fact. -

which will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms OF
social and political equality. In
asmuch as they can not so live,
while they do remain together,
there must be the position of SUI
perior and inferior ;and !, as much
as any other man, am in farvor OF
having the superior position as
signed to the white race.
There is Oliver Wendell Holmes,
the father of the newly appointed
Justice of the supreme court OF the
United States, who, in 1866, said :
mo abstract principle of benevo-
lence can reverse the great family
instinct that settles the question
for us. The Creator has hung out
the colors that form the two rally
ing points SO that they shall be
unmistakable, eternal; nay, there
is hardly a single sense that does
not bear witness to the ineffaceable
distinction of blood. The white
man must be the master in effect,
whatever he is in name.
There is countless host of sol
diers and statesmen and priests
who have preached and fought in
order to make and to keep this ma
ton of ours not nation of Afri-
cans or of Mongolians or of half
breeds, but literally"a white man s
country"
Heretics all-from jamestown
and Plymoth to Fort Duquesne to
the Alamo, and from the Alamo
to the Little Big Horn!
Standish, Washington, Jetfer-
son, Jackson, Linconl, Bowie,
Custer, and Oliver Wendell
Holmes if these be 'heretlcs'
who then may be called the faith
ful?" If these men, and men like
these, are to to be damned, who,
pray, may hope to see saliva
ton Times Democrat.

PEOPLE VS.. CANDIDATE.

Campaign issues in Mississippi
are already beginning to boil them,
selves down to that Of rings and
not policies. The announcement
of candidate is not followed by
his platform of principle, but by
the fact that he represents one
class against another, which means
an attempt to hold the reins of
state by party tricksters.
No intelligent citizen can con
ceieve that such victory will re-
suit in the betterment of the state.
Reforms are not achieved or per-
petuated by such politics and the
state is always the loser. No vot-
er who has the welfare of the state
at heart will support a candidate
for Office who expects to repay his
election in office to the crowd who
put him there. What the state
needs today is a strong man, one
who represents no faction and
whose election is no debt to re-
pay,-a man who is the choice OF
the whole people and accepts the
governors chair to honor and not
disgrace.
! To secure this ideal of a man
the last legislature took the cleo
ton out Of the hands Of the politi-
clan and placed it in the hands of
the people and the election next
November will determine whether
or not they will respect the God
given right of indiv d u |
franchise.

TOO MUCH WILSON.

We will oppose any man for
Office who courts Edgar S. Wilson s
support. Wilson is an off
shade to us and any honorable
Democrat who cannot win an office
without the support of a political
hybrid should refuse to accept it.
We would think much more OF the
man who would ask the support of
any died-in-the-wool Republican,
than man who changes his poll
tics for political Office. Mississippi
affairs in the past two years have
had. in our opinion, too much
Wilosn. and in this assertion
we are backed by ninetenths OF the
people.
There is one thing that can be
asid to jim Vardaman's credit,
and that is. if he is elected, Wilson
and his gang will have to ''go way
back and sit down. at least for
four long years, and it is because
If this fact that he is fighting the
Major through the Picayune; But
his title scheme is known by all
and the voters have swallowed the
Wilson sugar-coated pill for the
last time.

Announcements.
OUR STREETS AGAIN.

"'We'll find ground at the bot
tom, says Bryan O'Linn
In Greenville streets after the
slush and mud on the top is raked
of. A few claim that they would
be in favor of paving the streets
Of the city, but it would sink and
the money expended on the work
would prove in the end a waste to
the taxpayers. IN
If those who claim this, will
only walk over to Walnut street
and dig down on the west side OF
il under the loose mud, they will
find a hard, impenetrable surface
made up of Stag which was placed
there some eight or ten years ago.
This street is not full of bottom
less holes as is almost every other
street in the city, and goes to
prove that with the proper mater,
ial Greenville can build as good
streets as almost any other city,
with perhaps an increased expen-
diture. We truly believe, as Capt.
W. Fl. Harvey remarked to us
when discussing this street, that
had this street been treated like
the pike roads of Kentucky, repair
ing the cut out places with mari
Stag, and rounding it off on top so
that it would drain, it would have
been a street today, over which
teams could travel without stalling.
Washington avenue must be
paved, if Greenville ever expects to
become city much larger than
its present dimensions. With the
taxpayers it should be more a
question of Can it be successful
" done?' than the question OF
'Can we afford to vote more bonds
on the city to do it?' The
thought of increasing the tax rate
few mills to the average taxpayer
starts him to kicking worse than
Texas broncho, but without
murmur he goes into his pocket
and yearly pays out his hard
earned cash for increased insur,
ance, double drayage, disabled
stock, loss on property values,
increased store and home expenses:
raise in prices, ETC., which good
streets with the small increase In
taxation would have saved.
There is not citizen in the city
today who carries insurance but
who is paying an excess in pre-
miums double of what his taxes
would amount to from paving the
proposed streets as submitted to
the city council at their last meet
mtg. We ask you, would it not
be much better to put this money,
since we have to spend it one way
or the other, to put it into street
paving in Greenville, than in the
sky-scraping insurance buildings
Of New York? Let our people talk
out and at the next meeting OF the
city council be present to support
these public servants, in putting
this movement into effect.

A WHITE MANS COUNTRY

What does the Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills, the pastor of Plym-
9th Church in Brooklyn, N. Y,
mean when he implores Almighty
God that the American people
may be saved from this new and
damnable heresy that holds that
this (the United States) is a white
mans country?
Does the reverend gentleman
really believe that the idea that
this is a white mans country
is heresy? And if he believe it to
be a heresy, what authority can ne
quote to prove that the heresy is
either "damnable" or new?
Does not DR.. Hills know that,
ruled by his standard, the greatest
and purest and noblest men of this
country have been "heretics''?
Let us call the roll of these
''damnable heretics the old as
well as the new.
There are Higginson and Win
throp and Standish in New Eng
land, men who braved the perils
of the ocean and the forests to res.
cue freedom from its fate in Eur.
ope and plant it in the new-founo
world; and who, in order to wiz
New England into the circle o.
civilization, drove the red MAI
westward from Massachusetts.
There is George Washington
who in his youth courted deatf
ION the firing line" in order t.
make of the American colonies
"a white mans country"
"a There is Thomas jefferson, thu
most democratizing influence il
| American life, who said: Il au
cretain that the nergoes will b
free, and ! am equally certain tina
they can never live on the Same
soil on terms Of political equality
with the whites. F"
There is Abraham Lincoln, who
emancipated more than three mil
lion black bondsmen, and who, IL
1858. said: Il am not, nor never
have been. in favor of bringing
about, in any way, the sociel anc
political equality of the white ano
| black races. | am not, nor never
have been, in favor of making vot.
ers or jurors of negroes, nor Of
qualifying them to hold Office MOI
