leo, SIS the whites crowd into the
South, on the same principle that
foreigners have come to the
United States. In the mean time
while the negroes are quiet and
supporting themselves and also
q large amount Of the white peo-
pie, rich and poor, let us carry
out our previous pledges made to
the negroes by us as Democrats
and white people both in our
party conventions and our Con-
stitutionaI conventions and demon
strate to the people of the world,
that while all of the people of Mis-
sissippi are memorable on the
question Of white supremacy, neil
Their they nor their senators nor
representatives have spoken here
tofore with 'forked tongues, 2
and that they do not desire to null
| ify the Fourteenth Amendment,
| and that they do not fear the effect
of education on the negro and that
although they cherish race pride,
they are above race hatred or the
exercise Of petty enmity towards
the negroes who are here and free
by the acts of white men and not
by their own efforts, and whose
forbearance, when the bottom
rail was on top" should eyer be
remembered, for then the power
was theirs and the devilment was
inspired by their white leaders.
We have disfrachised the negro
race 10 Mississippi, and we should
let it alone at least until it does
something more than it has done.
We should not hit the first lick.
There is no use stirring up a
hornets pest for sport, because il
is in your garden and you think
you have a long pole. Politically
the negro is "dead note" in Mis-
sissippi. Our peace should not be
imperilled or risked to make votes
for an individual and the inherent
strength and growing influence OF
TOUR present position should not
''be butchered" to makes "guber-
Material holiday" There is toe
much at stake for such foolishness.
! The poorer a man is the more
he is interested in preserving the
good feeling now existing between
the races, and warfare on the edu,
cation of one race, if sincere,
naturally leads to warfare on com
mon schools generally. The pub
lie education of both races must
go together or both must stop, un
less the Constitution of the United
States can be abolished.
The white people Of Mississippi
are too liberal, too brave, and too
self-confdent to fear few blue
back spelling books in the hands
of the negroes. We have the con
finence of the negroes and let u
do nothing to impair that conf
dence SO necessary to both races
even if a friend does want to b,
Governor. State principles an(
peace should come before friends

SOFT CORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs Of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to dc
their proper work.

Are Well Treated.

The return of Sam Hobson and
Andrew Jones, two white con-
victs to the penitentiary, after an
absence of more than year,
speaks we'll for the management
of the Mississippi prison. Had
these men been badly treated, life
time men as they are, they never
would have come back of their
own accord. They simply tired OF
wandering around over the face
of the earth, expecting arrest at
every turn in the road.
Nor are these the only conyicts
who have voluntarily returned to
the state prison. One of the most
notable instances of surrender was
that of Chas. Summers, the rail
road detective who stole $4,000
from the Southern Express Com
pany at Meridian. He escaped
from the walls here and after an
absence of a couple of years re-
turned with a pocketful of money,
explaining that he had struck il
rich in the KIondike. He paid uI
what he had stolen from the ex-
press company and all that the
state had expended to recapture
him, and expressed willingness
to serve out his term, but he was
soon pardoned and left the state,
There has been other instances
of this kind. Brooks Story has
escaped about five times, but or
two or three occasions has sur
rendered on his own accord. A
few days ago he decided on tax
ing little vacation, and it was ne
very great surprise to the prison
officials to see him return anC
again beg forgiveness for taking
French leave.
Mississippi claims to have thu
most humane and profitable prison
system in the United States, ant
the voluntary return of so many
escaped convicts goes to prove
that it is no idle boast. Clarion
Ledger.

THE COPIAH ELECTION.
MAY God Save the HypOcritey" Says
DR.. Rowan.

Mr.. S. H. Ably, editor of the
Crystal Springs Meteor, has the
following to say about the defeat
of DR.. Rowan, the explanation be-
ing in the form of a letter to the
Vicksburg Post:
80 much is said about the
irony of fate being the result of
DR.. Rowan's defeat for the state
senate from this (Copiah) county,
that l deem it necessary to correct
the wrong impression. His COM
petitor, the Hon. M. S. Mcneil,
espoused the Vardaman idea and
was nominated. The idea was
paramount between the two con-
testants and the best man won.
There was no fate in it. 1t was
simplya measuring of lances and
the doctor was endorsed. Merely
that and nothing more.
People have not fully recover
ed from the daze of the second
primary. How it was done no
one can tell or explain, and this
mystery seems to affect one and
all with an Unsuitable desire to
find out the cause from the result
of the election.
Everything considered the
enormous odds of mind and money
the influences arrayed against
US the victory was a famous one,
and being the only Vardaman
paper in the county, The Meteor
feels proud over the result. T"
DR.. Rowan, replying to the
above through the Clarion-Ledger,
INDUCES in the following spicy
language:
It is passing strange that Edi-
tor S. Fl. Ably should select pa
per in Vicksburg in which to ex-
press himself in regard to the con-
test for state senator in Copiah
county when he has paper of his
own in which to state his views.
This can be explained only on the
ground that he desired to pervert
the facts and TO create false i'm
pressions in the minds Of the peo-
pie living outside of Copiah county
which thing be could not do
through the columns of his own
paper.
s'That Mcneil opposed t b e
Views of both Vardaman and my
self as to the school question is
we'll known to all who heard Nc
Neil's speeches in the recent cam
paign. It seems now, however,
that Ably seeks to explain his in
consistency Of supporting Mcneil
by claiming for the latter the plat
| form on which / made the cam
Ipaign and at the same time to in
lgratiate Mcneil into the favor of
Major Vardaman. May God save
| the hypOcrltel
81 would have said nothing had
1 I not been forced to do SO in my
To wn defense. The principles
which | have always advocated
and contended for still live in the
election Of Major Vardaman.
Consequently, I am not dis.
lgruntled at my defeat; thank God,
| / do not take such malicious and
marrow views of such things as
ldoes this misfit, constituencies ed.
.litor of the Meteor. Local in.
/ fIuence and personal association
tie Ably and Mcneil together; *
| let us await the outcome of this
little game they are seeking t.
play.

Petition for Pardon.

To the Hon. A. H. LONGING, Governor of the
State of Mississippi:
The undersigned citizens of Lincoln county
represent that at the May term, A. ID. 1900 of
the Circuit Court of Lincoln county, Moses
Anglln was convicted of the murder of one Pat
rick Mullins, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life
The facts in brief attending the homicide, we
are informed. were as follows:
Mullins had some animosity to Anglin and ON
the morning of the day of the homicide made
That at the time of the homicide Anglin was i'm
a blacksmith shop adjoining his (Anglin's)
shop, when Mullins came into the blacksmith
shop and aecosted Anglin. Words passed be-
tween them, when Mullins advanced on Anglin
with drawn knife threatening to kill him.
when Anglin shot and killed him with a piS-
toll. On the preliminary trial these facts were
shown by witness, and Anglin Was admitted to
bail by the trial justice. At the Circuit Court
at which the indictment was presented and the
trial had, this witness was in the State of
earnest efforts on the part of Anglin and his
counsel be had at the trial. The case was tried
in the absence of this material witness and
on the unsupported testimony of Angin. The
counsel OF Anglin, we are informed, were con-
tident OF an acquittal if the presence of the alb
sent witness could have been obtained. There
is such an element of doubt in the case as TO,
we think, appeal to executive cIemency. Ne
think he has been sufficiently punished and
should be discharged, and we respectfully ask
that he be rardoned.
Respectfully,

HOLLOWAY To HANG
Negro Who Attempted mas

was working for the husband of the lady
whom he assaulted. Mr.. futon and the
negro were at work curing tobacco some
distance from the house. The negro was
sent to the house for some tools, and while
he was there a rain came up. He slipped
into the house without the knowledge of
Mrs. luton and secreted himself under a
bed. When she passed through the room
he came out from under the bed and made
Improper proposals. He then caught hold
OF her and she began to scream. This
frightened him and he ran away.
Mrs. luton went Immediately and told
the news to her husband, who organized
a posse and went in search of the negro.
He was found near day by the sheriff, who
hid the negro and brought him to this city
to keep him from being lynched. He re
manned in Jail here until last Monday
morning, when he was taken to Snow Hill
