Greenwood, Miss, July 10TH
Major J. X. Vardaman returned
home this morning from a speak
ing tour, embracing the Counties
Of Locke, Monroe Lauderdale,
ChOctaw, Jasper, Calhoun, Chick
asaw, NOxubee, Winston, KeshO-
Ia, Kemper and Madison, and
when seen by your correspondent
was asked to give his OpiHiOn Of
the political situation as it affect
ed him. he said: "I have ad.
dressed %, 900 people in the last
two weeks. With the exception
OF the appointment at Kashular-

weeks that I had not spoken in

ity any man ever received fer a
State Office, who had active OppO-
sition. A few politicians around
in the towns, who always work for
stipulated wages, or part of the
'crap,' are very active against me,
but I ind the country people, the
wealth producers Of the land, are
practically solid for me-" Major
Vardaman complained that all
sorts of false reports were being
circulated throughout the State
concerning him, about first one
thing and then another: that it
didn't seem to make very much
difference to the people interested
in those Misrepresentation what
subject they selected to falsi-
fly upon. he said, 'eThe people
understand this, however, and
they understand that it is all done
for campaign purpose, and that if
/ we're not a candidate these re-
ports would not be so diligently
whispered" He said that all
that be had to fear now was the
over confidence Of his friends;
that the victory was won, If his
friends would sleep on their guns
and keep a sharp watch on the
enemy. Major Vardaman left
this afternoon for another cam
paigh tour. He will speak at

seemed to be standing the labor

made that this paper in it's advO-
cacy Of the reelection Of Senator
Money to the United States senate
was not representing the senti-
ment Of the people in the city OF
Okolona and in Ohickasaw county.
From the best information at our
command, we believe this charge
is uniounded, as many Of the best
posted men in the county concede
the county to the distinguished
senator in the August primary by
one of the lrgest ~maiOrities ever
given to any man. just after the
distribution Of a venimOus circular
on the streets Monday OF this
week, an effort was made by a rep
r~esentative Of this paper to secure
the expressions OF the business
men on the question, with a view
of forming an idea Of about how
this city stands. or course the
few who can be seen in an hour
may not represent the per centage
OF the entire city, but they can at
least be said to give some idea Of
how the contrasting candidates for
the senate stand. We give below

Hicks Forecasts for February.

Important things to keep in mind, in
connection with the forecasts, storm and
weather for February, are that a Venus
perturbation covers nearly the whole of
the month, while the Vernal equinox
meets and combines with the Venus
period from about the 10th to the end
of the month. These facts will not
obliterate or change the regular storm
periods, except that the regular periods
will all be prolonged and intensified by
Venus and Earth.
The month will open warm and
threatening. Moon is on celestial
equator on the st, tending greatly to
excite electrical storms in many places.
Disturbances will continue until about
the 4th, bringing heavy rains, turning
later to snow over much of the country.
1t is safe to say that this first Feb.
ruary period, like all the following
periods of the month, will begin with
moderate to warm, bright days, but
rain, with wind and thunder southwark
will follow and turn quickly to snow,
sleet and very cold weather.
A storm period to watch is from about
Sunday the Sth to Thursday the ~.
The days of greatest violence will be on
and touching the 10th and 18th. Dan.
gerously high tides will be most natural
with strong probabilities of seismic dis
turbance, and heavy tropical storms in
the south. Violent rains may be ex
pected generally oyer southern and
central parts of the country, while a
boreal counterpart in the form of 6
curious snow storm and blizzard from
the west and north need not surprise
any reader. The crisis OF these dis
turbances will come on and next to the
18th. The cold wave that would
naturally appear about the 18th may
possibly be retarded until after the
Moons passage over the celestia
equator on the 18th. But those who de
not prepare for hard, winter storms, anc
| tor great cold wave and bllzZard be
tween the 9Th and 10th of February
will, we fear, pay a costly penalty
The final elimination of these storm
may not come before the 18th and 15tl
which are central reactionary storm
days; but we caution all, especially
those who have large live stock interest!
at stake to be on their guard any time
from the 9th until the elimination
comes. Don't be deceived by delay:
and pleasant weather
The storm period extending from the
10Th to the 23rd is covered by many
disturbing factors, as may be seen il
the storm diagram. Vulcan, Mercury
Venus and Earth, all combined with
moon at south declination, at las
