Written for the okolona Messenger.
Together with a party frow Mem
pills, Birmingham and Ocean Springs,
under the splendid management Of
Mr.. E. NJ. Walker, OF the latter town,
We b,aTCed the Cocoa at the foot OF
the o. L. Hotel, pier, just as the sun
was rising over the waters, causing It
to appear 3 macs OF silver and gold.
The happy iorethought Of the genial
host, In providing = delicious repast,
had left nothing unwished for In
the way Of tempting ~delicaoies, and
forgetting nothing that would add to
the comfort and pleasure OF each and

marks of the party Owe the beauty OF
the waters and the grand old Pine
aud Live Oak trees, along the Coast.
On arriving at Elk Lodge anchor was
cast, and fishing tackle put in order,
for part OF the programme of the day
vas to be a 6sh-fry. When all In
readiness, the lines were thrown out,
evidently we had reached "Fisher-
mans Glory" for Sc soon as the lines
were cast, the bait was greedily
grasped by the hungry occupants of
the briny deep. After having spent a
portion of the day in this happy
occupation, we sailed to the beautiful
little city Biloxi; weighing anchor in
front of the Club House, where we
were joined by a number of guests
from the Montrauss Hotel, adding, If
possible, more jest and merriment to
this gay party. After the many happy
greetings we continued our course to
Deer Island where all were rowed and
landed on the g~listening white sand,
under the shade of Pines and Oaks.
Palms Grew profusely all along the
island, adding intense beauty to the
picturesque scene. On crossing the
island a grBnder view met our gaze,
of the beautiful blue waters of the
Gulf. We had tarried on the beach
about half an hour, when our ears
were greeted with the ever apprecia-
tive sound, the dinner horn.

back to Biloxi where with much re-

friends, and started homeward. The
sail home through the gathering
shades of twilight was thoroughly
charming, and u minds we're full Of
the shadowy, beautiful world that
seemed to lie before and around US.
On the landing at the pier, we found
the carriages awaiting and after a

not suggestive dictation, traceable to
the head of the administration. Much
Of the opposition to Major Vardaman
came from men who do not want the
books examined, and some Of it

undoubtedly placed himself In the
attitude Of being vii Ing to pay fol
the franchise OF the people and bis
place 10 ONCE.
There was no denying the PROPOSE.
ton that It was the dollar against the
man. The people preferred the man,
may Il ever be said to their credit.
There can be no further motive In
such a statement as this at this time
than that OF forming 3 basis for con-
graduating the people Of Mississippi
upon their good judgment in the
decision they have made so emphatic,
so pronounced, 80 positive that no
man lie so blind that be cannot see
the meaning manifested.
1t Is admitted that the people have
met and defeated the greatest, strong
est and most thoroughly equipped
machine ever known to politics in the
South. Let us hope the lesson shall
nexer be forgotten.
There Is consolation In the reflection
that those who sin shall suffer In their
defeat remorse.
This paper prophesied that Missis-
ippi vas not for sale.
It reioices in the decision which full
fills the prophesy.
But conditions may not always run
the same. II may not always be that
de Ssuchery will be on the side of a
weak man and against a giant capable
of breaking down all safe guards by
his magnetism, his towering infiusn-
ces. All the money in the state could
not have bought the people from their
enthusiasm for Vsrdaman and induc-
ed them to accept in his pace the
weak man offered against him.
Another most strongl, illustration
is the fact that the metropolitan press
stands as a solid wall for the dollar
and against the man who has not the
dollar for its till, was made so plain
in thu canvass just closed that a school
boy could see it. From the very start
it was manifeat that the Commercial
Appeal was in the employ of the Critz
and Longino forces. It was ever
ready to open its columns to anything
that might be written to advance the
interest of either of those two aspir-
ants, true or false, and 80 known to be
by its management. It absolutely re-
fused to admit to its columns, even
when sent by its own correspondents,
any item though it was legitimate
news, which gave publicity to speak in
creditable terms of Major Vardaman
or Senator Money. The Morning
News which for a time allowed an oc-
casional item to enter its columns,
when it came TO the finishing of the
race, openly admitted that it would
print nothing which was against Critz
or favorable to Vardaman.
Since Ortiz and Lsngino had sub
sidised 8 large TART of the local
press of the state, it may readily seen
why the masses we're fighting at such
a terrible disadvantage for their can
didates.
But, with all these advantages, all
these abuses of an honest, open ex.
preston, Mississippiaus have been
men to the manner born and defed
all the machinery of commercial poll
tics. For this reason the high man.
hood of the state may be ell the more
admired. Itcan De all the more re-
lied upon in the days that are to come.

A number of Mississippi newspapers
cannot understand why the people in
their county did not vote as they
we're advised to do through their ably
conducted editorials in the late
primary. Never in the life of the
newspader has it presented It's
readers with such able, well written
editorials, and vet the voters ignored
them and voted as they pleased.
Those editorials were furnished of
course from headquarters of the can-
didate the papers was supporting for
Governor, and they were very, very
bright and sparkling. Such papers
viii find, the more often they try the
experiment, that their readers are not
hankering for such machine editor
ials. Far more respect would they
have for more poorly written editor
ials known to come from the home
editor himself, than for the finest in
the land guaged to ct the price paid
for their admission. This modest
paper is not DESTROYS Of complaining
of the press of Mississippi. We un-
derstand how they are forced to
struggle to make ends meet. But we
trust the day will never again come
when any considerable number of
them shall be edited by q mar like
Col. Levy. His line of writing is not
elevating to the standard of journal
ism In the state.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
Of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 70 find
