THE STATE cAMpAIGN.

According to the Times-Demo-
Graf correspondent, Senator Noel
stated while passing through jack
son Saturday, while en- route to fill
an appointment to speak at
Raleigh, that the indications were
that at no distant date the four
gubernatorial candidates would
get together and agree on series
of joint meetings. He stated that
he had recently received letter
from Major Vardaman, whose
agreement seems to be all that is
needed to perfect such an arrange
ment, in which the latter said
that he did not care to accept the
suggestion just at present, but
would do so a little later. Mr..
Fox is assumed to be perfectly
willing, in fact, DESTROYS of meet
ing all the other candidates, and
Judge Critz has several times ex-
pressed himself to the same effect.
Until the joint debates are ar
ranged the candidates will carry
out their canvass separately, as
they have done up to the present
time.
1t is understood that Gov. Lon
gino will not inaugurate his can
vass openly until Senator Money
returns from Washington, where
he is at present detained by the
special session of the Senate. AS
soon as he is released from those
duties and gets back to the State
a proposition will probably be
made for a series of joint meet
ings.

Rev. ChaS. Oherschmidr.

A congregational meeting was
held at the Presbyterian church
after the morning service last Sun.
day at which a call was unani-
mously given to Rev. G. A. Ober.
schmidt, the present pastor, fol
the coming year, at an increased
salary, the understanding being.
that whenever desired, Mr.. ODER
schmidt shall devote his entire
time to this charge. At present
he is serving two other churches,
preaching here On alternate Sun
days. 1t was the sentiment OF
the congregation that Mr.. ODER
schmidt should continue to serve
the two weaker churches until
they could make other pastoral
arrangements.
The News is glad to learn that
Mr.. Oberschmidt will remain
withus. His services here have
oeen earnest, unselfish and have
been highly appreciated by his
people, as well as, the entire citi-
zenship of Ellisville. Under his
ministration the Presbyterian
church is thriving, it's membership
is increasing, and under his leader
ship the members are working
together tremendously and sue
cessfully. He is deservedly popu-
lar with all and is making himself
a power for good in this commun-
ity.-Ellisville News.

The Plow Handle.

In every campaign some one OF
more candidates have a way OF
throwing bouquets at the "work.
ing man. and the "plow boys"
and the 'horny-handed son of
toll" and 1--WE, the people," Sc
often have the prejudices of these
men appealed to by political aspi.
rants that these classes have tired
of it. They fully understand it
now and know exactly where they
come in after the election. The
before" and latter" are we'll fix
ed in their minds.
1t is said that Mr.. Fox in his re-
cent speech stated that the "gener-
al demand'' for his candidacy
came from the pulpit, the bench
and the pillow handles.'' Now that
is fine combination and if they
should all manage to pull together
for anyone man the balance of
the dear people would not be in
it. The "plow boys" are not in
the habit of demanding" of men
that they supply for Office, and if
they should do so, it is reasonable
to suppose they should select one
who is of them-one of the horny
handed kind.
There are great many people
familiar with political matters,
who would like to take look at
any plowman in Mississippi who,
without solicitation, turned from
his pillow handles long enough to
write to Mr.. Fox, or any other
candidate, and demanded" that
he run for Governor.
A general demand means de-
mand from the masses" and not
the classes. These plowmen
are an honorable and useful class
of citizens, and there are many of
them in the State who WELD the
ballot, but it is not often you find
them demanding" that this or
that man run for Office. These
much-talked of demands generally
come from politicians, office-hold-
ers or aspirants for political hon
ors and emoluments. The plow-
boys generally do the voting and
the tax-paying, but very little
talking. Meridian Press.

Nola Notes.

Our school is progressing finely.
The scholars are about over the
mumps and in school again. A
good attendance is reported. {.
The concert given by Nola High
school was the finest entertainment
we have ever had. Prof. Mckee
deserves great praise for the pro
gram rendered. The pupils did
themselves credit; also their in
structors. The music was under
the supervision of Mrs. Mckee,
who ably conducted it. The
japanese fan drill was especially
entertaining, the young ladies
showing perfect training. :. (The

JOHN MASON ESCAPES
From Latest Matrimonial Venture
Without Costing Cent.

New York, Dec. 20-John Mason. tho
actor and husband of katherine Grey.
Saturday, escaped the unenViable task of
paying alimony to two women at the
same time. Supreme Court Justice Lovcu-
tritt denied the application of Katherine
Grey Mason for alirnony, pending her suit
for separation. the reason given bclag
that the plaintiff does not show the pr H.
able success of the trial. and that tho
afldavitS she submits do not support the
burden cast upon her by Ia "
Mason is at present paving alimOny to
Marion Manola, who early in her career
was divorced from Harry Mold, who be
came an alimCny contributor to Mis-
ManolaS expense account. Katherine
Grey for some time was in receipt of all
mony from an actor named Arthur, who
had also been divorced from an English
actress. who has since sued her second
husband for divorce and has procured her
decree.
Just whore the complications will end
it is imnOSsiblc to predict. as several of
the parties to the daisy chain of divorce
and alimony are quite young and are I'M
douhtedly due to make several triJlS
through the courts before quitting the
continuous performance in marriage and
divorce.
John Mason was divorced from Marion
Manola in January. 1900. He was married
to Katherine Grey in May, 1900. Both have
held important positions in leading theat-
rical companies since then.

A STORM BREWING.
Odd Fellows to Free Order from Gam
bers, Saloonkeepers, Etc.

Boston, Dec. CA storm is brewing
in the ranks of the Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, one
o. the strongest secret orders in
the world, because Grand Master
Charles G. Pavey of Toledo has deter
mined to force out of the order in Ohio,
every saloonkeeper, bartender and
gambler, pursuant to a mandate issued
by the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the
United States, but which has stood as
a dead Letter.
Thousands of mon in the liquor bust
ness are members of the Odd Fellows,
and while Mr.. Pavey realizes already
that he has undertaken a big contract,
he has issued an order that they must
honestly and legitimately renounce and
give up their business before Jan. 10,
1904, or be expelled from the order.
This order does not affect Massachus-
etts, as for years it has been an I'M
written law in the order that no saloon
keeper OF his assistants should become
a member OF the organization if it was
suspected that his application was in
the way of business. There have been
numerous instances where such men
have applied, but in every case their
applications were rejected.
