The WinOna Meeting.

The Columbus delegation to
the WinOna meeting returned
Monday evening on the east
bound Southern train. They all
reported a jolly good time, met
prominent men and politicians
from all sections and heard some
fine political speeches. Senator
McLaurin spoke in the morning
and received an ovation, and the
gubernatOrial candidates follow
ed. The speeches which receiv-
ed the most attention were those
of Major Vardaman and Hon.
Fuller Fox. The Fox partisans
from this city were loud in their
eulOgy of their fayOrite, saying
he made a great political speech
which captured the audience and
which made a fine impression.
Even Vardaman s political OPP
ponents stated yesterday that
his address was an exquisite
masterpiece. 1t is beautifully
conceived and he delivered it in
a maSterful manner. The charge
of plagiarism against him was
not made in the WinOna meeting
by any of his opponents. Sena-
tor Noel made a magnificent ad-
dress also and came in for lib
eral share of the praise from
the local Fox and Vardaman fol
lowers.
Gen. Sharp, Lowndes county's
candidate for treasurer, and Hon.
j. L. Senter, Lowndes county s
candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner, were both present ming
ling with their friends from over
the State and furthering their
candidacy, which is conceded to
be gaining ia strength and in the
favor of the people daily.
The people of Lowndes county
will have the pleasure of hearing
the gubernatorial candidates in
this city later in the campaign.

Great Political Debate.

The meeting Of those political
gladiators. Senator II. D. Money
and Gov. A. Fl. Longino i'm a joint
debate at the Court House next
Friday afternoon will be one Of
the greatest political events ever
held in the history Of Colum bus.
They are candidates for a great
and high office. the Office Of
United State Senator, Senator
Money seeking to succeed him
self and Gov. LonginO trying to
wrest the exalted honor from
him. It is to be the opening Of
the Senatorial campaign, a cam
paign which promises to become
memorable in the political annals
of the State and for that reason
thousands will hear them speak.
Both gentlemen are we'll known
to the people Of COlum bus, LOwn-
des county and Northeast Mis-
sissippi and their political re
cords are familiar to all Gov.
IaOnginO is rounding out his term
of office as the chief executive Of
this great commonwealth. He
has given to the people an ad-
ministratiOn which his friends
indOrse; one which his opponents
condemn and upon his adminis-
tratiOn, his record in office, hesiS
asking Of his constituents 1t still
greater honor.
Senator Money is known to
Mississippi, IN fact to the nation
for heis national character. Heis
not as closely identified with Mis-
sissippi politics as his opponent
for the reason that his position
and duties require his absence
from the State most of the time.
Like the Governor he is an able
campaigner, a good debatOr. an
interesting and fOrcible speaker
and never fails to interest, in
Struct and entertain.
The people of Columbus and
the county must hear these dis
tinguished men. This meeting
will give them the opportunity
of comparing them in point Of
ability, while a visit to Colum bus
Friday will enable them to meet
many of the States leading citi-
zens who are candidates for other
State offices within their gift.
Prominent among these will
be Senator McLaurin, W no
comes here to mingle with his
friends and followers and to
speak if he can be induced to.
Remember the date, Friday
afternoon at o'clock at the Court
House. Ladies are invited and
expected.
Gen. Jake Sharp will preside
at the meeting.
