IS FEARED BY THE COUNTRY.

AS many of the leading democratic
papers of the country have well said,
there is enough to be said against
Roosevelt without making him an
object of violent abuse. No man wins
the reputation, the general reputation,
of being impetuous, unsafe and 1mpe-
rious in responsible position without
some foundation of fact. The general
public IS too intelligent to be wholly
deceived in a matter of this kind.
The white light of publicity beats up
on the White House, and not only the
acts. but the nature and temp erament
of its occupant are known to the
whole country. No President was
ever regarded with mora apprehen-
sion or lack of confidence IN the
sanity and safety of his Judgment or
his possible or probable acts than IS
the present occupant of that great
office. HIS partisan advocates will of
course, bestow upon him all the extra
VACANT praise of of which the political
spell binder is capable, and he will
doubtless be misrepresented by some
of those who mistake the liberty to
crit1cise for license to defame. But
d sregarding all these, it is not to be
denied that there widely exiss lac k
| OF confidence, feeling of apprens1on
as to Roosevelt, and this feeling is by
no means confined TO Democrats.
Many Republicans and independent
voters express it, and larger number
entertain it, Aside from this, Roose-
welt is the nominee of a party to which
Democrats are empha' ica'ly opposed,
| and for this reason they would lie
opposed to him if he were not objec-
t1onable as an individual. In addition
to this, his attitude on the race ques-
ton makes him especially objection
able to the white people of the South,
and has exerted an evil influence
which is without any justification CT
excuse. Conc ding the honesty,
responsibility and ability of both can
didates, the contrast between the two
is very grea', and indisputab!y to the
advantage of the Democratic nominee,
The campaign will be conducted none
the less effectively if it is conducted
with d cency and dignity, without
bitterness and hate or appeals to pas
sion and prejudice that weaken In~
stead of strengthen, any people

NORTH AGAINST SUCH POLICY

The conservative and well thinking
Republicans of the North, as we'll as
Democrats of that section, are against
any interference with the race guess
tiop, as Mr.. Roosevelts threatens, in
the event of his election. They are
Just as much interested in the South
thern situation from a material stand
point as our own people are. Not less
than five billions of Northern capital
are invested in the South, and this vast
sum is profitable invested. To inau
gurate a new SESSION of reconstruction
would be disastrous to all these IN
vestments. 1t would mean desoIation
where there now prosperity and thrift;
it would mean blood and fire where
there are now peace and order; 1t
would mean misery where there is
now happiness;it would mean destruc.
ton where there are now construction
and progress; it would mean poverty
where now there is plenty. We do
not overdraw the prospect should
Rooseveltism becomes fastened upon
the country for four more years, with
the additional venom and bitterness
which his election would incite. It is
a matter that the people of the North
must decide. They can not escape it,
This Isswhy we say our Southern lead
ers must go to the North this year and
present to them this over shadowing
question. It they do so, great VIC
tory fer democratic principles and
civilization Will be achieved.

sense Of this Board that the legisla-
ture appropriate sufficient funds for
the building and maintaining Of a

competent pathologist be employed
at said institution. Resolved, That the
legislature, now in session, be urged
to pass law STIMULATING the salaries
to be paid the county health officers
of the different counties Of the state,
it being apparent that in quite num-
Der Of the counties the boards of SUI
pervisors refuse or fail to compen-
safe the health officers in an amount
sufficient to secure competent and ca
pable physicians to properly perform
the duties of the Office. Further, in
view of the fact of the prevalence of
smallpox and other contagious dis
eases in quite number Of the coun-
ties of this state, it is urgent that all
counties have capable health officers
who will promptly proceed to stamp
out these diseases, and to accomplish
this the best men should be employed,
and to secure such officers a reasona-
BILE compensation must be paid"

John Bell Pardoned.

In response to numerous appeals for
clemency, and a signed statement
from the officials of Attala County
that they do not believe him guilty,
accompanied with declaration from
the girl father to the same effect,
Gov. Vardaman has issued pardon
to John Bell, convict serving life
term for attempting to commit Grim
inal assault on a little white girl in
that county. Bell was sent up in 1891,
and the singular feature Of the case
is that he entered plea Of guilty,
which has been allowed to stand de-
spite the indisputable evidence that
has since developed showing that he
is not guilty. At the time the plea
was entered, however, Bell was great
ly excited and feared that he was
about to be lynched. He has wife
and five little children depending on
him for support.

Legislative Notes.

The State Charity Hospital at Vicks-

said since the committee on benevo-

severely criticising the present man

probability get its usual appropria-
ton from the state, but the bill pro-
viding for the appropriation also pro-
vides for an entirely new manage
ment. An effort was made to with
draw the support of the state or at
least this was seriously suggested at
one time, but the committee on be-
nevolent institutions, before whom the
matter lay, decided to report favora-
bly, on making the usual allowance,
and recommend the adoption Of the
Collier bill, which provides for an en-
tirely new method of management.
The Collier bill places the hospital I'M

trustees of seven, one appointed by

and places the institution in charge OF

Planters Take Radical Steps to Sup

The farmers are making it very I'M

OF the state where the whitecapper
disturbances have been brewing for
the past year or more, and it is a COM

negroes to leave their locations. In
two or three instances these labor
agents have been caught red-handed

fifteen minutes to their credit. In

held and indignant declarations made
on the subject.
