Governor Vardaman displayed an az.
gresslveness to save colored man
quite uncommon in the black belt.
Governor Nardaman is young man
and has only held his present Office
since Jan. 1. AS speaker of the lower
house of the legislature, however, he
had already earned the reputation of
being wise legislator and was known
as one of the most able and fearless
newspaper men in the state. Until his
inauguration Governor Vardaman had
for years been editor Of the Greenwood
Enterprise. 1t is estimated that the
governors campaign to save the col
ored man from the mob will cost the
state very large sum.
