A Few Extracts.


Mrs. S. G. Maer. owner anC
proprietor of this paper. ha:
reached the States after having
spent several months with rela
tiyes in North Wales and Eng
land. From a recent letter tC
the writer the following excerpts
are made:
The ocean voyage, combined
with the health giving climate in
the mountains of Wales, com
pletely restored my health with
out any medicine. In fact, my
relative, who is a distinguished
doctor of London, laughed and
chaffed me SO much at the
idea of my imaginary complain is
that | was delighted to bid him
farewell.
1t is twenty-five years since
last visited 'Llanfendigaid. The
beautifully situated residence on
Cardigan Bay, built in the year
1923 of solid stone, has remained
unchanged. These old family
homes, though very grand, are
expensive to own as the taxes
are very burdensome and de-
pressing. My brother told me
during his life that the income
from the property was 10000
pounds a year, but that after
paying all the entails and de-
mands on the property it yield
ed a very small income for his
large family. His son. my
nephew, told me the same thing
on this visit. They are selling
some of the un-entailed property
to pay off some Of these claims
and mortgages. Dolangwyn, of
which [ send you a photo, is for
sale. 1t is very grand, hand
some building with wide oaken
stairs leading from the main
hall; cathedral windows and
doors; was built ia 1911, and
when Oliver Com well marched
Wales it was not de-
stroyed by him because it was
an abbey and had a secret pas
sage from the residence to the
bay about three. quarters of
mile distant from which soldiers
Or political exiles could make
their escape. During my stay
there my nephew went out fish
ng and caught seven salmon,
the smallest weighing seven and
0ne half pounds. This park is
for sale, with all of it's game pre-
serves, and if anyone in Colum-
Gus wants a pleasant summer
home it can be purchased for
$50, 900.
Washington City has always
been a favorite abiding place for
me; for although it is a city of
broken hearts, unhappy homes
and disappointed lives there is a
repose about its lovely lowered
parks and tree bordered streets,
which after spending some
in crowded London or
noisy, whirling New York, acts as
/ soothing balm on my weary
Drain and tired nerves. I am
only stopping here with old
until the weather is cool
enough for me to come South.
Do not imagine that I will
ever write again for THE DIS
PATCH. I have enjoyed my long
rest SO much since you have
taken charge that [ feel like a
new woman. though really [ am
an old one, for | was sixty-one
years of age on Friday, the
28th instant.
This long letter is not for pub
ication, but is my swan letter"
TO few friends who want me to
write my experience of all my
travels. I want my old friends
TO know that [ am coming home
perfectly contented to spend the
rest of my days in Colum bus; as
4 Southern town with gentle,
people is more con-
gecial to my tastes than the ex-
and change of a busi
ness city. ). e. NJ.

VARDAMAN ELECTED.
Sweeps the State by Handsome Ma.
iOrltY.

: From unofficial returns re
: ceived from every county il
: Mississippi James K. Vardamar
has been elected Governor by 6
majority estimated b betwee L
eight and ten thousand votes.
The result is a great surprise
the State over. Although he
had a plurality of the popular
vote over his opponent, Judge
CritZ, in the first primary it was
/ believed the great bulk of Noel s
/ following Of 1000 votes would
be cast against him and that if
he won at all it would be by a
small majority.
The result is one of the great
est victories ever won in the
State of Mississippi and the peo-
pie have set the seal of their con-
IdemnatiOn on the political meth
DDS which have heretofore pre-
vailed in this great State. They
have repudiated the attempt to
buy the Governorship and to
debauch the electorate of Mis-
siSsIppi, and have set an exam
pie for good government which
will be fruitful of good results.
Vardaman had arrayed against
him the most powerful political
influences of this State. He
fought two intrenched admins
trations in Mississippi and had
pitted against him the daily
press and men like McLaurin
and Noel and Edgar Wilson and
their following. He battled against
Critz's superb organization
welded by the liberal use of
money and has won a magnifi-
cent victory over it all.
The great delta, the section
which it is claimed would suffer
most if his policies were to
prevail, went solidly for him
with the exception of Issaquena
and county after county which
went for CritZ in the first pri-
mary changed into the Varda-
man column. 1t is estimated
that, Notwithstanding Noel's
adroit attempt to swing his fol
lowing to Critz, so per cent. of
the Noel vote ia the State went
to the peoples choice, the great
man from LefiOre. A surprising
and gratifying feature of the
contest was the vote polled and
it shows the great concern that
tine people of the whole State
felt in the choice of their Gov
ernor. The vote in the second
primary was only ten per cent.
less than that of the first when
all the county officers were to be
voted for.
THE DISPATCH naturally feels |
a profound sense of satisfaction |
over the result. Maj. Vardaman |
was our choice for we believed |
the exigencies of the times de-
manded a man of his courage |
and firmness in the gubernato- |
rial chair. We believe his cleo
ton means a continuation of the |
harmonious relations of the races
in Mississippi and the peace and |
good order of our society and |
government. We believe he will |
be honest, faithful and consci-
entious in the discharge of the
functions of his Office and that
he will elevate, tone-up and dig
Nifty the official standard in Mis- |
sissippi. In his nomination the
State is assured of a clean and |
capable administr tration and one
free from the touch of scandal |
and shame and in our public
Offices these are the great con-
Siderations.
