Senator Money delivered a
speech last night at the City
Hall to a large audience. He de-
voted most of his time in "throw-
ing mud' at Gov. Longino, which
in our opinion, lost him votes.
he failed to tell the people all
about his fight with the street car
conductor about nickle, or about
his trip to Cuba as memb er of
the Senate Committee and at the
same time representative Of
the biggest yellow Journal in
America, the New York Journal.
Now, if Senator Money would
meet Gov. Eongino in joint de-
bate and make the same speech
as he made at the City Hall last
night, Gov. Longino would beat
him 10 to ! in the August prima-
ry. We hope the Senator will
continue this speech all over the

A report comes from Boston Of
the organization of 4 secret society
having for it's object great ex.
0dus of negroes from the South
and their distribution as laborers
throughout the agricultural and
mining regions of the west. It ia,
very certain that no intelligent
Southern negro is participating in
this scheme. for they all realize
that the South is the only coun-
try where the negro is backed and
encouraged in his efforts to aeat
bread by the sweat of his face.
That elsewhere the appearance of
any considerable body of negroes
is resented, and he is denied his

Cottonseed Products.

In 1870 there were but four cot.
onseed oil mills in this state, and
they were small affairs. In 1890
there were thirteen mills. Now
there are seventy three mills EN-,
ploylng capital of about six mil
lion dollars, and turning out an-
nually products worth in the mar
kets of the world over eight mil.
lions of dollars. The once almost
valueless, and even burdensome
seed is now worth from $14 to 800
a ton, and there is no probability
it ever will be worth less.

mercipl value. and not few of

ing it. It is transformed into but>
ter. leaf lard, olive oil, salad oil,
and the like, and when it comes
back to us it is so changed we do
not recognize our own product.
None of this refining, which is
the most profitable part of the in.
dustry, is done in this state. It is
not exaggerati0n to say that if the
crude oil produced in this state
were carried in the state to it's ul-
innate possible for rs, the seed Of
the state would be equal IN value
to the lint that covered it. In that
case the meals and hulls would
be fed in the state. and high
grade rehneries would be estab-
lished at every cottonseed cente r.

stands in the way, and this want

ress of the industry is maintained

LONGING FOR SENATOR.

E
The Herald today announces as
it's choice for United States Sena-
tor Governor A. FL. Longino.
This step is taken advisedly and
after very careful survey of the
situation. The Herald has had
some kind things to say Of Sena-
tor Money in the past, but as the
canvass has progressed it has be-
come decidedly manifest to the
Herald that Senator Money is not
the man for the place and that his
re-alection would be in the na-
ture Of a pension with no adequate
resulting benefits to the people of
Mississippi. Senator Money's can.
vass has been disappointing to his
best friends and his refusal to
meet the governor on the stump,
it seems to the Herald, coupled
with his unnecessary injection Of
the races issue into his campaign,
las virtually settled the contest
adversely to Senator Money.
His ablest newspaper suppor-
ters have become exceedingdly
lukewarm. The Meridian Press,
which espoused the cause of SEN
ator Money some months ago, re-

burg American, which appeared
to be championing Senator Mon

warned him against the course Of

and his name does not now appear
in the editorials of that paper
The Jackson News, another Mon
ey paper, has taken the same p0-
hition with reference to Mr.. Mon
es's attitude in the campaign and
nothing now to say in his praise
1t has been stated that Senator
Money is first tousin of Mr..
Vardaman who is candidate for

I'd his campaign on race issues,

dangerous man that ever aspired

The State is prosperous beyond
comparison with any other era in

cite irrational prejudice against

Senator Money has been in Con-
gress for twenty-five years. He has
drawn, it is stated, first and last,
not to mention salaries that have
gone to members of his family,
|easily one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars. He has
doubtless done the best he could,
but Mississippi wants new blood
and new men who can do as much
as Senators in other States IN the
way of securing practical results.
Gov. Longino has demonstrated
great executive ability and a de-
termination to accomplish things
moment and practically for his
state and people. The Herald
has not at all times agreed with
him, and it has sometimes criti-
cized his appointments, but
where appointmentments prove
to be good ones, an executive
should not be to severly criticized
for prefering his friends. Gov.
Longino's administration speaks
for itself. There is no deceiving or
humbugging the people along
this line.

lion dollar state house has been
built and paid for without issuing
any bonds. They know that four
hundred thousand dollars bearing

that a fourteen thousand acre
