For Lonainn.

We hoist at our mast head TODAY
as our choice for one of the United
States Scholarships, the name of
Governor A. III. Longino. Our
people need no Introduction at our
hands to this distinguished gentle
man, born in a neighboring coun-
ty among the pine clad hills of old
Lawrence. Unaided by wealth and
unassisted by favorable environ
ments, by the simple force Of
native ability, sterling integrity
and unconquerable resolve, he has
risen to be one of the leaders of
his people. In the white light
which bears upon exalted station,
he has shown himself to be Gods
noblest handiwork, an honest man.
In the fierce conflict of power he
has not always escaped the biting
tongue of calumny, but when the
dust of battle has cleared away, it
has always found that the arrows
of Qhloquy have fallen blunted
from the shield of his spotless
character. Some of his detractors
have urged that in the great
forum of the national senate he
would not be equal to the contests
which await him. In reply we
can point to the fact that he has
measured up in the fullest degree
to the requirements of every posi-
ton from the lowest to the highest
with which the people have here
tofore honored him, and we do
not doubt that he can enter fully
armed into the Senatorial arena.
Under his able administration
as Governor, our beloved State
has made tremendous strides in in
dustrial, moral and educational adj
yancement, and judging the future
by the past, we are perfectly will
ing to risk our Governor in the
broader fields of national legisla-
ton, confident that his every act
will be done with an eye single to
his peoples good, The people
of Copiah county have stood spon-
sor to for Gov. Longino in the
past and their confidence has not
been abused. We have always
been faithful to the public servants
who have been faithful to us. We
therefore ask with confidence from
our people the endorsement of
Gov. Longino's candidacy for the
United States Senate. -Hazlehurst
Courier.

CoAMITTEE TREAcHEpY.

In Southern State like Missis-
sippi, where the Constitution and
laws are so framed as to eliminate,
as far as possible, the negro as a
political factor, and where the
open and accepted policy of the
dominant party is intended to en-
courage the attainment of such a
result, for county or a State ex-
ecutive committee, calling itself
white and Democratic, to discard
the safeguard of white primary
and declare for free race, thus
virtually inviting the negro to
come in and become an arbiter be-
tween the aspirations of white men
and bone of contention, is little
if any thing short of treachery by
such committee to the party it
pretends to represent and to the
white race, 1t simply ought not
to be tolerated by the white peo'
pie in either county or State poll
tics. We have no unkind feeling
toward the negro. He has his
place in the South and if the
proper relations of the two races
are observed he can live in har-
mony with his white neighbor and
develop and prosper; but of one
thing we are profoundly convinc-
ed, both by experience and fire.
quent observation, and that is,
that it is infinitely better for both
the negro and the whites that the
negro be kept out of politics.
