Candidates For Governor.
Water Valley Hears Them All And
Each Makes Friends

Noel, state senator, and the di, :
tinguished author of the primary
election law and of the elective
judiciary amendment to the con-
stitution, on Tuesday evening, the
people of Water Valley and vicin.
ity have had an opportunity to
hear all four Of the candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination
within q week.
The address of Hon. Fnller
Fox was referred to at some
length in these columns last week.
Judge Ortiz. also of Clay county,
and West Point, spoke at the
court house to a large audien ce
Friday afternoon and made
most favorable impression upon
his hearers. Judge Ortiz stands
squarely upon the dominant idea
Of white supremacy political as
we'll as social - yet feels a high
sense of the obligation Of this age
of progress and enlightenment,
and opposes any effort to change
the public school laws of the
state. The colored race is the
white mans burden, and we of
the South cannot evade the re-
sponsihility for his future.
Jddge Oritz is a fluent and
forceful and most interesting
speaker, and his statements ap
pealed to the thoughtful element
of bis audience.
Major Vardaman, who is rum
ming on an issne, and is opposed
By the other candidates, also had
9 large audience when he spoke
on Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Var
daman is the most eloquent OF
the four candidates, and inter-
ests those who are opposed to
BIN as we'll as those who will sup
port him for governor.
His fine presence and well
trained voice at once claim the
sympathy and interest and one
must laugh at his anecdotes and
applaud his flights Of eloquence
He is strong man on the stump.
and . dangerous man beft re
ce rtain audiences. His appeals
to race predjudice are strong and
will get him some votes in every
community; but the other candi-
dates are waglng campaign up
on higher lines, and are educa-
ting thinking men to a noble
sense of true citizenship. The
candidacy of Vardamau has al
ready passed it's meridian. Per-
sonally Major Vardaman is a
most excellent gentleman, and
has the friendship of a host of
men who will not further his pol
ltical ambitions.
The address Of Senator Noel |
was . masterly presentation Of
the actual issues Of the. campaig
and exposure of the false issues
that are sought to be injected in
to it. He is not a pessimistlc ca.
lsmity bowler, but is an optimist,
and points with pride and salts

will prevailing in all sections of

The attention OF our readers is called
to the advertisement of n. NJ. krasnoff,
who has recently spent several weeks
in the markets of the North taking ad-
vantage OF forced sales and other con-
ditions to buy goods at less figure
than the same can be bought at the
regular jobbing houses. In this way
Mr.. Krasnoff, being an experienced
buyer and buying for several stores, nee
essarily in large quantities, had the ad-
vantage of being sought after by man
ufacturers and those who needed the
cash to weather them over disastrous
period and thereby his stock, was bought
cheap. He carries an enormous stock,
and visit to his store and an eXarcina-
ton of his stock will show that the in
creased space has been filed to packed
condition with as good goods as any
store in the country. Krasnoff carries
tremendous stock of clothing and
shoes and his is the only store in town
where the celebrated Douglas shoe can
be found. Mr.. Krasnoff came here a
few years ago with a small beginning
and the fact that he is now among our
largest dealers, speaks highly for his
methods of doing business. He believes
in giving the people their moneys
worth and proper attention. 60 to his
store when you will, and be and his en-
tire force are always ready to give you
polite service. Read his advertisement
and watch the columns OF The ZINES
in future, he will interest you.

and attractiveress on the evening OF the
23rd inst, when her daughter, Margaret
was united in marriage to Mr.. Walter

beautifully decorated with luxuriant
palms, ferns ard hot-house plants. The
bride was gow1ed in lovely white or

carrying an exquisite bouquet OF lilies

We are Forced to This Step.

On the lst day Of September we will
take off from our subscription list all
names which are over one year IN ar
rears. We have number of good men
on our lists who are in arrears, not be-
cause they do not care to pay but be-
cause the amount is so small they think
almost any time will do and they put 1t
off until it becomes burdensome TO Us.
Sometime back we were forced to cut
off a lot of names. among them men
who are perfectly good, but we could
NOT continue paying cash out OF our poch-
cts to accommodate their Indifference.

ing every effort to give the people
GOOD readable newspaper. and at the
same time it is independent in its edlto-

thoughts, and give to the people the
best counsel we can. We are not hlred
to express the views OF those who would
control everything on the face OF the
earth that can be converted into a dol

pie, approve that which we believe IS

lieve is wrong A county newspaper
not controlled or influenced by corpor-
ate-combines and whose editor is inde-

hood to speak the truth, should be en-

subscriptions paid up promptly.
Remember, those who are over one
year in arrears on the 1st day of Sep
tember will have their names stricken
from our subscription lists whether we
ever collect the back Indebtedness Or
not. We would rather have a smaller
subscription list and It paid up, than
large list from which we get no pay.
The force we employ demand their pay
in cash every week, and it takes cash
to buy material, hence it is absolutely
necessary for us to collect. Look atthe

Rally, Farmers.

The committee appointed to arrange
for q mass meeting of the farmers met
! in Manning last friday and outlined a
plan OF organization to be submitted tc
itthe mass meeting TO be held in Man
ming Saturday 2gth inst. at II O'Clock
4. m. 1t is the desire of the committee
that every township be fully repre-.
sented, and we are requested to urge
the attendance of as many farmers as
can possibly attend.
In order for the farmers to get in a
position to seek relief from the oppres.
sions of the trusts, they must organize.
not for the purpose Of making unreason-
able demands. but for the sole purpose
of making a legitimate effort to receive
justice at the hands of those who handle
the products of the farm.
Nearly all other avocations are organ
lied. and the consequence is that they
are not confronted with the difficulties
the farmers labor under, if the farming
class can also be organized they can,
and will have their reasonable demands
respected Therefore the purpose OF
of this attempt 10 organize should re-
ceive universal encouragement, and
every farmer who is alive to his welfare
should spare the time on next Saturday
and come to the county seat and give
his aid to the cause.
We have seen the draft of the paper
as outlined by the committee, and we
can state that the purpose is to have an
organization Of those who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits for a livlihood,
none others will be admitted to mem
bership. There is no disposition to il
jure any other calling, and no drastic
or unreasonable demands will be made.
When this organization is completed.
there will come before it only such mat
tiers as effect the material welfare of
the farmer without exacting any sacri-
fee of his independence or manhood:
Every farmer can, and should join, '1d
in time there vii be q general benefit
derived therefrom. Remember next
Saturday is the day for the mass meet
ing and every farmer is entitled to a
voice in the meeting.
