Of our representation in Congress uu-
less we surrender a measure of state
Sovereignty and frame our franchise
and election laws to suit tho Rcpuhli-
can party, by which that party not only
hopes to secure political strength In
the South, but to promote its accurscd
idea of mixed schools and TO advance
the dangerous policies Of social equality
of the two races. These are some of
the controlling reasons for a full vote.
We desire pronounced expression of
our condemnation Of Republican prin-
ciples as we'll as stout rcproyal of
Democratic doctrines.
Judge Alton b. Parker. in his person,
character and politics, is the rcprcsen-

peace and prosperity, rather than the
pomp OF war and military prestige in
foreign countries; he believes in an
honest government economically adj
mnistered, a reduction Of the tari0, and
the snppre sion Of trusts and combines
formed and operating in restraint Of
trade.
He stands for the doctrines Of his par.
ty and dcpricatcs all efforts to agitato
the race issue. He is, in politics, per-
sonaI character and disposition, the
exact antithesis Of tho Republican
nominee.
As Mssissippians, we should not for

been settled within the ranks in Missis-

Mr.. r. A. Beard, manager Of the II. T.
Jones plantation, near Fort Loring, was
in the city Tuesday and called at this
Office. Mr.. Beard reports that the boil
worm is doing great deal of damage
to. the cotton crop this year and pre-
diets that the crop is short at least
twenty per cent. from this cause. He
expected only two weeks ago to gather
over $50 bales, but AYERS that he will
now be we'll satisfied with $50, Or the
equal Of last years crop. This insect
is not new one, but it has done more
damage this season than for many years.

The Delta Banks Enterprise.

The purchase of the bonds by the
Delta Bank has been a theme for many
nattering remarks anent that enterpris-
ing institution. 1t isn't often that an
issue of securities so large is sought by
home people, and especially is it sur
prising that it should occur in city so
small as Greenwood. Nothing has hap
pened in long time which demonstrates
so emphatically the abiding faith of our
own people in the future of the place.
Greenwood now has bonded indebt-
edness of $143,000, every cent of which
is in the hands of home people. No
other city of equal size in the United
States can make such showing.

PARKER
PREPARES

New York, Nov. 5.-Parker passed
most of the day in his room at the Sc
vile, preparing a Roosevelts denial of
the charges of the Republican cam
paign graft, which he will deliver to-
night before the Kings county Demo
cratic Club. Shortly after o'clock
the candidate took a long walk up and
down Madison avenue, planning his ad.
dress. 1t is said at the Seville that
Roosevelt s statement was foreseen by
Parker when he first made the charges,
and that he was prepared for such a
denial Parker will remain in Brook
lyn tonight as the guest of Chief JUS
tice Cullen of the court of appeals, re-
turning to Esopus tomorrow to remain
until after the election.

Halloween Party.

The Halloween party, given by the
girls of the Young Ladies' Hall, was
one of the most successful events in
the social life of the University, so
far this year. The invitations were
very unique, consisting of dainty inn

ten the following lines:

With the Girls of the Hall of the hall

Come when the lights burn low,
And the witches come and GO.
The parlors and spacious halls had
been tastefully decorated with autumn
leaves, jack o'lanterns and other char
acteristics of the evening. AS the
guests arrive they were met at the door
by bevy of imps, witches and ghosts.
In one corner of the assembly hall was
a huge caldron, from which, by the aid
of fair hands, the guests were refreshed
with sweet cider. In another corner,

oppressive languor of the unseen art

maiden fortold the future and recalled
the past. One of the most interesting
features of the evening was the ex-
change of gifts. Each person was TO
bring some little souvenir, carefully
wrapped so as to conceal it's identity,
and exchange this with some other per-
son, Surprises were the rule in this
game, and they were sometimes more
interesting than pleasant, as for in

fully and expeetantly unwrap pack

paper, only to find in her hand piece
of skeleton. Another means of
amusement was the shooting of arrows
into suspended, revolving jack o Ian

grayed the letters of the alphabet, The
letter you struck represented your flu

were doomed to be an old maid or bach

home on North Commercial street.
The house was beautifully decorated,

ing artistically carried out in all the
rooms with a profusion of hearts, large
and small, which were arranged in
pleasing designs on the walls, and
strings of them were draped from the
chandeliers. Cut flowers and bright
autumn leaves were also utilized, and
noticeable in the decorations were the
beautiful potted plants in all the diff
ferent rooms. The decoration of the
hall was especially beautiful. Up the
stairway the gay autumn leaves were
banked, and the red shaded lights east
soft glow over the scene.
The guests were received at the door
way by little Louemma Waters and
MASTER Leon NulDefISOn.
The hostesses were assisted by Mrs.
Culbertson, the Misses Ruth Gabriel
son, Bessie Frisby and Cora Talking
ton.
Hearts were played at little green
topped tables, which corresponded with
the color scheme. The first prize was
won by Miss Gertie Hirsch and the sec
ond by Miss Kate Carmichael
Dainty candies, nuts and punch were
served during the game, and light re-
freshments afterward.
Many beautiful gowns were worn,
and the gay spirit manifested by the
young ladies indicated that the after
noon was complete success, as every
detail was so delightfully."- arranged
that the pleasure of the guests was
complete.

FULTON
SPOKE AT
WOODBURY.

Woodburn, Nov. 5.-Senator Chas.
w. Fulton spoke at the Association hall
here last evening to a large and en-
thusiastie audience, many Democrats
being present. Senator Fulton made
one of the greatest political speeches
ever delivered in this city, and was
eheered throughout the evening,
Among those on the platform with
the speaker was Frank Feller, one of
the heaviest taxpayers and an old-time
Democrat. He expressed himself as
highly pleased with the speech.
Woodburn precinct will give Roose-
Welt almost $50 majority next week.
There are more Roosevelt Democrats
in this precinct, it is safe to say, than
in any other precinct of like size in the
United States.
