JUDGE FRANK A. CRITZ
Gives Out a Gard Full of Manly
Sentiment to the People OF
Mississippi.

West Point, Miss. Sept. ., 1908.
To the People of Mississippi:
The final action of the state execu-
tive committee, announcing the re-
suit of the second primary election
closes the most remarkable political
fight our people have ever witnessed
or endured. Remarkable for it's re-
suits, and more remarkable for the
means and methods by which those
results were accomplished, and still
more remarkable because more votes
were counted in the second than in
the first primary. 1t would be un-
profitable and unwise to open up any
of these, matters. The people have
spoken in the manner provided by
law, and the verdict of the majority
has been announced as the law directs.
Mai. James K. Vardaman is TO be our
next governor, and will have the sup
! port of Critz and his followers.
| desire to express my deepest graf
itude to the 46, 249 voters who, with
such earnestness and loyalty, fought
for my election and the triumph OF
the principles L advocated, to the end
of that memorable political struggle.
A more splendid citizenship never fol-
| lowed any man or cause to either
victory or defeat. and more gallant
fight for right and truth was never
made in Mississippi politics. Their
disappointment at our failure lntens1-
fies very much my disappointment.
We have nothing to be ashamed OF,
and nothing to regret, except the re-
suit. I am proud of the following L
had, and of the high plane OF honor
able politics occupied by them in the
midst of the EXTREMIST and most un-
warranted bitterness of the contest,
and during the whole canvass. They
knew, and the world knows, that L
made a clean and honorable race,
from start to finish that dealt fairly
and candidly with the people; that l
advocated nothing but the truth, ac-
cording to my convictions aud judg-
ment and theirs were in perfect ac-
cord with mine. My integrity as a
private citizen and the uprightness OF
my canvass no intelligent man doubts,
and no honest man has ever questioned.
The cry of white supremacy" car
ried the day for the victor in the ex'
treme excitement that prevailed at
the election, but there was no such
issue between me and my opponent
and could not have been; and there
was no such issue between democrats
in Mississippi and could not have been.
Everybody knows that democracy III
Mississippi means white supremacy
everybody knows I have been white
liner of the strictest sect tor more
than quarter of a century, and never
wavered or bo.ted or scratched dem
ocratic ticket. l believe in the di-
vine right of the white man to rule
to do all the voting and to hold AL
rhe offices, both state and federal, anC
have so announced in every speech
made by me during the canvass. Here
, is my letter to the executive commit
, tee:

railroads, factories and lumber mills
are advancing wages roJheir men, and
the able bodied negro finds that his
muscle is commanding premium far
in excess of anything that has ever
been offered by his employers. The
wages for common laborers on rail-
roads have advanced from 81 to 81. %
per day, and in some instances the
hours of work have been shortened.
Labor conditions in Mississippi.
however, are perhaps no worse than
in some other southern states. For
instance, the country press this week
is filled with advertisements of Louis
lana planters and contractors who are
attempting to entice negroes from this
state with offers of fancy wages and
free transportation.
Last year the delta planters en-
ployed Choctaw Indians from the east
ern counties to help during the cot
ton picking. and the demand for labor

however. the Choctaws have moved to
the Indian Territory to take up their
claim allotments, and this source of
supply is cut off. 1t is understood
that some of the large planters of the
delta are preparing to send agents to
the northern cities to employ Italian
laborers, although as rule they are
not successful cotton pickers.

With very little fuss and feathers
a thriving new town is growing up
at Silver Greek, in Lawrence county.
The Pearl and Leaf Rivers railroad is
already running trains there, and the
Gulf and Ship Island is hustling as
hard as it can to get there. Soon
the town will be live business GEN.

to invest there. On Monday a num-
Der of them together with others from
Lawrence county met and organized
bank with q capital of $15, 1000.

BUTTE'S TEAM IN
SPLENDID SHAPE
PLAYERS HAVE STRUCK A PENNANT
WINNING TREAk-EVERY-
BODY is HITTING.

The Butte baseball team is now playing
in better form than at any time since the
season opened. They are putting up the
kind of game that wins pennants, and
everybody Oh the team is working with
will.
Yesterday afternoons game had more
brilliant plays crowded into il than happens
in many day. 1t was fast, all-around play
ing that took the game from the formid-
able Los Angeles team. Every man on
the team fattened up his batting average
and not an error was made.
Runkle is doubtless the fastest short
stop in the league at present. His feat
yesterday afternoon OF stopping a sizzling
grounder from Householder's bat, that just
cut the heads OF the daisies close to sec
ond and throwing him out at first, was
phenomenal
Mcllale's long run in center field and
scooping up long line hit just as it was
about TO touch the ground caused the
spectators to 90 wild with enthusiasm. 1t
appeared almost an impossible thing. The
crowd waited for an instant then came
a shower of handclaps like an approaching
storm, supplemented with cheers which
shook the grandstand.
La Rogue played a perfect game at sec
ord. He seemed eager to get everything
that came within throwing distance of his
station. His long run into center for.
high fly was feature well worth the
price OF admission.
McKevitt also made clever catch of
a foul fly that won applause. Swindells,
Roach and Bandeln were all in splendid
form and played a strong game in their
several positions.
Shaifer has found the ball again and
demonstrated his ability as a pinch-hitter
when he cleared the bases with an aerial
offering over the sandbank in deep center.
Then, too. everybody batted well. Kane
got four hits when they counted and the
others found the ball often and hard. II
the Butte team continues its present style
OF playing there is no question about the
pennant coming again to this city.
