Because the Rev. DR.. Bailey, editor
of the Baptist, the official organ of

at Jackson, dared to differ with Major
Vardaman about public questions
which affect the whole people, Maj or
Vardaman uses the following insulting
language aobut DR.. Bailey in his pa
per, the Commonwealth, of August
18th, 1902. Referring to DR.. Bailey
he says:
''This strange mingling of preten-
ded piety and pisant malevolence, of
the stupid parson and the Inscriptions

and asinine wisdom; Of the dirty tool

Continuing Major yardaman says
of Rev. DR.. Bailey:

squirt leaves the high plane of legiti-
