GOV. VARDAMAN WILL
 MAKE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE
Wants to Go to the Senate So He Can Work for Repeal of Fifteenth
 Amendment.

Meridian, Miss. July 15.-(Special)- Governor Vardaman came over from Jackson last evening and spent the greater portion of the day in company with the trustees of the East Mississippi Insane hospital, inspecting that institu- tion. He made a brief impromptu talk while here in which he commended the recent efforts of the courts to enforce the law In this county and district and highly complimented Judge Cochran upon the splendid record he had made in this direction saying he was model in official conduct for all other judges to follow.
 In an interview with your correspondent the governor said that he did not be- 1ieve that MT. Money would be candi- date for reelection to the Senate and he would pronouncedly. therefore. be an as- pirant for that honor before the people in the next state campaign. His platform would be primarily, the repeal of the fif- teenth amendment to the federal consti- tuition and if elected he would devote all of his energies to securing this undertak- Ing and a campaign of education in that behalf before the northern audiences, cheerfully welding if necessady any re- duction in representation In Congress and the electoral college that might ensue from the elimination of the negro vote.

COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS

 l. mat the charges of Mayor Ward. shat as police commissioner had in. tmidated police officers. are absolutely .alse, and have no foundation In fact: on Ire other hand I have always assisted the officers in the discharge of their duties.
 z That the charge that I am receiving profits from an unlawful business for police protection, is prepostero..s, vicious and false, and, Mayor Ward knew 1t was false when he made 1t, and had no such information in fact. but made same to arouse public sentiment in his favor, to sid him to try and do me material in- jury to vindicate a personal spite which he holds against me
 The Mayor Is not actuated from lofty motives of public welfare, as he is trying to make appear but from a spiteful mo- tive to use his position as Mayor to vim dicate a personal spleen he has toward me, and for advertising for himself. This peISuidll ul1IeTence arose during 0lS ca m- pagn, when I was not supporting him. and growing out of this campaign he and l had a personal difference In which roundly denounced him. He neither re- stnted nor denied the charges I then made. After this he wrote me letter in which he said In part: "I am going to be Mayor and would not like to go in with fight for you, come to see me- After wards in the presence of friend l ask ed him what he meant by the letter (showing it to him) and his reply was, Come to see me-" I never went He became Mayor and since that time police officers have stood on the corner of First avenue and Twenty-fourth street and notified a large number of customers of the saloon that if they were seen com ing from the Rabbit Foot saloon, they would be arrested. This drove away pat ronage After this. the Mayor rushed into the papers and denounced the place of business as disreputable and unlawful

IS CHARGED WITH
 OBTAINING CHARACTER
Henry Horton Is Arrested In Annlston Charged With Defamlng w. J.
 clark's Character.

Anniston, July 15.-(Special.)- IA sensa- ton was created here today by the arrest of Henry Horton. a young white man. charged with defamation of character, in whose trial it was developed that he en- deavored to place w. J. Clark, proprie- tor of the Annlston printing house, in disrepute by alleging that ne attempted to destroy the establishment by burning last Thursday night.
 There were quite number of witnesses and the case occupied the afternoon and will be finished Monday. This afternoon about o'clock a warrant cnarg1ng Mor- ton with larceny was sworn out before Justice Edmondson. It will be served on him at the conclusion of the present trial It Is charged that he stole meal ticket from Mitchelrs restaurant last Thursday night. Mir. Clark went to Atlanta, leaving on the early evening train. From Atlanta he went to Dalton and returned home Thursday about noon. Shortly after he left Horton says that he went to the off, flee and found papers piled up on the floor which had been saturated with ker- osene. In the center of this pile of pa- pers a candle was burning.
 Horton put out the candle and then went to call people to witness what had been done. When Mir Clark returned Thursday he was confronted at his home by Horton. who cursed and abused and struck him. accusing him at the same time of having attempted to burn his of- flee.
 MT Clark did not resent the insult thinking from the manner m which he had his coat over his arm that Horton was armed Horton and Clark started to the city and on Thirteenth street Clark st tota bot tzI1 lt, l,a ..t-1 give him sufficient money he would leave town.

 Mayor Ward has able counsel. It IS pre- sumed that they can inform him in what manner he can proceed legally in this mat ter. If he desires all the facts brought out for the public. It is my opinion that he will not seek that advice, nno If he does he will not follow it, for he knows fni. well his facts will not sustain his charges, and he prefers to do me a material flnan- cial injury under the guise of public welfare rather than to be frank. open and honest, and take the matter to proper tribunal to try and hear and de- termine the same. I ask the people to withhold Judgment until he does act In a proper manner to bring these facts before them. and if he is not honest in the mat ter. and has not the courage to start the proper proceedings, then ' say to the people that I shall, at the proper time, take such steps as allowed me by law to have this matter fully investigated before a proper tribunal. where all the facts he alleges may be brought forth If he de- sires, and I will not dodge the question nor undertake to have some other per, sons assume for me the burden of the proceeding. Respectfully submitted,

Fine Eyelet Embroidery.

The fancy for eyelet embroidery is
just as much craze as ever, and it
would almost seem as though it were
summer, not winter, that is close at
hand, to judge by the demand for
this work. But in truth there is no
marked difference between the after.
noon gown for summer and the the
ater gown for winter that are now
fashionable. The model that for the
moment is so extremely popular
serves equally well for one or the
other. A plated skirt of silk null
has above the second flounce a band

with basque frills and sleeves is of

trained skirt. and is in black colors
