jim MCCARTHY TALKS.
Batesville, Miss. July Is. 1903

Batesville, Miss. July 19, 1908.
James S. Mccarthy, private secre-
tary to United States Senator A. J..
| McLaurin, and member of the state
democratic executive committee from
the second congressional district, in an
interview at Batesville, his home, de-
clared himself unqualifiedly as fav-
oring the reelection of Hon. FL. D..
Money to the United States senate.
In this interview Mr.. Mccarthy said
Speaking for myself alone, l have
no hesitancy i'll stating that / favor
the reelection of Hon. Fl. d. Money
to the United States senate | shall
cast my ballot for him on the 9th day
of August. Senator Money is one. of
the foremost men in the democratic
party and one of the ablest statesmen
in the American congress. During
his career as representative in con-
gIess and member of the senate he has
been faithful to every trust, loyal to
the people of Mississippi, and to the
great principles of the democratic
party. His fidelity toohis people and
party cannot be successfully chal-
lenged by any man. I have observed
during my residence in Washington
that Senator Money has always taken
great pleasure in doing all in his pow
er for Mississippi and Mississippians.
He was brave confederate soldier
during the dark days that tried men S
souls and it has always been a.delight
to him to assist his old comrades in
any way that he could.
Senator Money is trained states
man, a true and honorable gentleman
of the true southern type, and one of
the best posted men in public life.
His defeat would be calamity to the
people of the great state of Mississippi.
| have no personal feeling against
Gov. Longino. In his race for COVER
nor four years ago gave him my 10y
al support. AS loyal democrat and
the grandson of private in the con-
federate army, I cannot support man
who would refer to confederate senti-
ment as confederate rot'' I cannot
support man for the high office of
senator in the congress of the United
States from southern state, who, as
governor Of southern state, would
recommend to the legislature the pas
sage of law giving to the family of
a lynched negro the right to recover
damages against the county wherein
the lynching occurred. / am as much
opposed to mob law as any man, but
| am not in favor of making the peo-
pie pay for the carcass of black
fiend who outraged white woman.

INSTITUTE AT FLORENCE.

To the Teachers of Rankin: The
Rankin County Teachers Institute
will meet at Florence August II, and
last two weeks 1t will be conducted
by Prof. j. L. Johnson, of Hillman
College, ably assisted by Miss Sallie
Enochs, of the Jackson schools, as pri-
amary instructor. A great effort is
being made to lengthen terms, to pay
teachers more and to build up every
where and unless the teachers show
their interest and appreciation the tax
payers will hesitate. Isn't it shame
that every teaol er wants longer terms
and better pay, but some will not at
tend normals or Institutes and will
not take educational journals?
That teacher is deadbeat, a
parasite, and school boards are fast
learning him.
Florence is hospltable town, the
people are proud of having the
teachers come among them, two OF
the best and most skilled instructors
in the state have been appointed te

The following comment on Mr.. Nc
Carthy's interview appeared editoIi-
ally in the Vicksburg Herald:
"The interview in the Herald today
with Mr.. Jas. S. Mccarthy, private
secretary of Senator A. J. McLaurin,
is fair reflection of popular senti
ment on the senatorial question. He
gives the reasons why Senator Money
should be reelected. and why Cover
nor Longino will be left at home.
Mr.. Mccarthy has put his finger right
on the sole spot Of the governors can
didacy the favor he enjoys with such
republican president as Roosevelt.
i do not care for recommendations
from the rep1 esentatives and senators
OF your state, said the president in
conversation with some Mississippi
callers. All that business is left to
Mr.. Edgar S. Wilson, the republican
referee, who find to be a regular gold
nugget. Tell me something about Gov.
Longino. consider him broad,
liberal minded governor. With Ted
dy reelected and Money relegated, one
may imagine the sort of pie picnic the
Wilson-Longinos would have. But
where would Mississippi be at, when
Moneys successor was called upon to
recipIocate-to vote on administration
measures? The interview of Mr.. Nc
Carthy, a grandson of confederate
veteran, indicates that Gov. Longino's
reiterated and verbose attempts at ex-
planning away that Confederate rot''
incident have been like sweetness
wasted on the desert air. The truth
is the remark admits of no explanation
from one seeking to represent Mlssis-
sippi The bare fact of such an ex-
preston sticks, and would attach to
the state were its offensiyeness con-
doned. A Georgia citizen talking in
our hearing of it few days ago said

All Receipts Turned in and Bills
Paid a Huge
Success.
A SUPPER.
Committee Which he'd Charge of the Out
ing had Supper and Discussed the
Event Speeches by Different Members
About Sixty Present Dancing Fol-
lowed When, Floor was Cleared.

When all the bills were paid, and
everything cleared up from the excur-
sion of Court Amboy No. 58, Foresters
of America, it was found that they
had cleared nearly $500.
The committee in charge of the ex-
cursion and the friends who helped
them, decided to celebrate. Accord
ingly a supper was arranged for those
who worked so hard to make the ex-
cursion the success it was.
Last night the committee and their
friends, who numbered Just sixty,
were taken in special car to Nelson 8
Casino, on the Metuchen road. When
they arrived they found the table
loaded down with all the good things
that go with a first class turkey supper.
In less time than it takes to tell, they
were all seated and for over an hour
devoted their attention to the good
things before them.
After the supper speeches were made
by j. J. Deveny, chairman of the
committee, and K. Finkelstein. When
the speeches were over, J. j. Flynn
and Charles Johnson sang a few
selections.
At O'Clock the floor was cleared
and the crowd danced to the music of
Prof. Steinhauser' orchestra until
early this morning, when they depart
ed for home.
A few of the members of Court
Amboy No. 68 went to Jersey CITY
Saturday night to participate in the
celebration which was held in honor
of John f. Kelly, of that place, who
has recently been elected Supreme
Ranger of the order.

LIBRARY IS
NEARLY READY.
Expect to Occupy the Building
Some Time in October
The Interior.

The reading public of this city will
be glad to hear that the new public
library building is at last within a
few weeks of being ready for occu-
pancy.. A representative of the News
visited the structure this morning and
found thatit was nearly completed.
The reporter was told that the upper
or ground floor would be completed
within about a week and then the
book shelves and other furniture could
be installed. The woodwork is finish
ed in green and the walls will proba-
bly, be painted dark green or blue.
Several of the shelves are already in
position and others are at hand await
ing the completion of the work on the
interior.
The floors are laid but have yet to
receive their coating of shellac. The
radiators for the steamheating and
many of the fixtures for the lighting
have been put in place.
The large semi-circular reading
room presents very attractive appear
ance. 1t contains a number of win
dows which will afford ample light
by day. This floor contains, besides
the above mentioned room, two large
square rooms and two small ones.
Downstairs the work has not reach
ed as mature state as above, but
is, nevertheless, very encouraging.
Plumbers are now at work and when
they and the carpenters have finished
their part, the painters can go to
work. This floor is expected to be
completed in little over a month, if
even that long, and then the building
will be nearly ready for occupancy.
There seems to be every indication
that the building can be occupied
shortly after the first of October, and
then this city Will have an edifice
which can rank with the finest in the
state.

CALLS THE BRIDGE
A LONG DOCK FROM
SOUTH AMBOY SIDE.
Mayor Seaman Declares that Bridge has not Been Built BY the
County Until has Landing and Means to get upon are
P'ouded- Then will be up to Perth Anboy to Prepare
Street Leading to Landing.

When is bridge not bridge? This
seems to be a question which is now
raised in egard to the new structure
across the Raritan river. Mayor Sea-
man is of the opinion that any struc-
ture over any stream is not a bridge
until it has landing on both sides
and is so that people can easily get
across 1t. He claims it is the county's
place to build bridge and then it is
Perth Amboy's place to open streets,
grade, or do whatever is necessary for
the convenience of the public IN get
ting from where the bridge lands to
the main thoroughfares.
Mayor Seaman, in discussing the
bridge with a representative of the
Evening News, referred to the struc-
ture over the Raritan, as it now stands,
as long dock from the south side
toward the north. The end nearest
Perth Amboy is many feet in the air,
and the mayor claims, it is the county's
place to bring it down so that people
can get onto it. When this is done,
then the city can talk about building
the approach.
This, apparently, raises a question
which will be disputed by some of the
county officials. They claim that
their jurisdiction ceases as soon as
they reach Perth Amboy territory
Mayor Seaman is supported by many
in this city, however. and the alder,
men seem to be determined to make
the county complete the bridge. It is
pointed out that nearly all bridges
have to be built for some distance
over land regardless whether it is
Perth Amboy territory or any otner
land. When the freeholdsrs,h ,hava.
built bridge the city will do It's part
toward getting the street ready to
meet it. AS for building part of the
bridge for thescity, it is evident the
city officials do not intend to do it.
This stand on the part of the city
officials may lead to long delays. 1t
is evident, however, that the bridge
is not q complete structure on this
side ant it is declared, Perth Amboy
is not going to build street with a
grade twenty feet in the air =
