MIRROR OF THE STATE.
Senator Money prides himself upon |
tile fact that his election will cause |
no particular rejoicing at the Wn.t
House, having no federal appointees
V no lave axes to grind, nor at Jack
son, particularly, since no one there
holds Office attributable to his in
huence. It's the people," the com
mon people, to whom he owes his
election and it is TO them that his un
dying allegiance is due.
No one, says the Crystal Springs
Mirror, has had the temerity to
advance a reasonable cause for Lon
gino's inglorious defeat. Had the
primary, some say, taken place two
months ago he would have pClled
larger vote than was given him, and
longer the race lasted more slim grew
his chances of nomination.
Without questioning that Kincan-
non has made splendid railroad
comm igsioner, the late canvass and
primary showed that there was lots
in a name. For instance, what man
could the whole northern dis riot
trotted out who could have swept the
district, going in on the first primary,
ike Kincannon The name is an.
hnnored one, made so by characteristic
qualities of the family which no
quantity of money can buy.
The frequency Of killings by light
ming is the subject Of mDch comment
everyw here. The other day near
Durant, lightning killed young
man by the name Of Pearl Burt, who
was one of party returning from
funeral.
Alas for the waning in
fiuepce of the press. For instance,
in the case of rhe race for secretary
of state in the first primary. Runnels
had more than two-thirds or the
newspaper strength of the state be-
hind him; made his race asking that
1.-The pres be recognized to the extent
of one state Office but to the sur
prise of even his most inveterate
political enemy, when the count was
made but two counties out OF tbs
seventy-five showed up III his CO umn
An exchange, speaking of courts
and mobs, says: So long as the
courts find it difficult to get jury o
twelve men to hang man by law, /
is going to be easy to get THOUSAND
to hang him outsides the law.
There never was truer saying thar
this.
Judge W. K. McLaurin, late cir
cult Judge OF the district of which
Warren county forms part, VIII
resigned that position when Longin
was made governor, made the rae
for state senator in the late canvass
running against Col. R. V. Booth
and in the primary on the 9th wa
nominated.
A nergo, James Leonard, mad
his appearance in Nlcksburg tn
other day, on the mission of organlz
ing unions of negro cooks, and
soon as his object was made known
the white people a committee WI
sent, ordering him to get out
town, and quick, which he did.
A state exchange figures it OF
that pretty good canning factor
can be erected for $1,000, and tn
being true, wonders why more Of the
are not established, especially SIM
those already started have been
successful, financially.
The Ocean Springs Progress tall
to suit Us when it says: THE coul
try having been saved in politics
way, let's turn our attention now
building up our town and county"
There is nothing more truthfl
than the following from one of OF
state exchanges: 1.-The trade terri
tory of town is not all dependel
upon the distance to neighbour
