II was in a Chicago restaurant.
Two handsomely dressed young women
entered. accompanied by modishly at
sired youths, one of whom bore every
evidence Of a recent and thorough
plunge into the depths of dissipation,
relates the Chicago Record-Herald
The party seated themselves, and
the MISUNDERSTANDING chap proceedec
to order an extensive supps-. Dur
ing the course of the rcpast the youth
in question made repeated illusions
in a somewhat loud voice to the condl
ton he had been in the night before.
According to his statement, severa'
things had transpired on that occa
sion of which he was entirely oblivi
Gus.
His friends listened and laughed
at the account of his doings, and the
supper went merrily onward to the
cafe noir and liqueurs.
When the time came to pay the
check the gilded youth ostentatiously

Paul, what is ths largest tip for u

OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR.

The time is about at hand when
the people are deciding who they
want for their Governor. to succeed
the present occupant whose term
will expire two years hence. We ex-
pect to support the Hon. Chas.
Scott, of Bolivar county.

blotted out if Mr.. Scott is elected,
a condition to be desired by all
good Democrats.
We believe too, that the election
of Mr.. Scott would tend to an en-
forcement of the laws throughot the
States. We confidently predict
that he will be elected,
and will give the State a clean ad-
ministration, uphold law and
decency in every section OF the
State, thereby adding to the welfare

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR

DR.. Montague b Leverscn o
New York, is a guest of the Hon.
Chas. Scott DR.. Leverson is an
nglllishman by birth, but corl-
ing to this country over 40 ye lrs
ago, were he has been prominently
identified with nearly every move
ment for the political, educational, +,
and moral advancement of the Deo-
pie of America, during that time.
Some years ago he was promot-
ed by the University of Goeten-
ger, to the Doetorate of Philosophy,
ad Master Of Arts, his Doctorlal
thesis being a profound article on
Political Economy, and the exam
ination of the aula having been III
effect a reproduction of a paper
read before the Litersl Club of New
York, some time previously, III
which he advanced the then novel
theory of the enormous antiquity
of man upon earth, a theory he
sustained by the correlation of facts
drawn from the sciences of Elmo
logy, Plilology, Geology and
Astronomy, and which has since
become the received doctrine of the
Scientific World.
In recent years he has earned an
International reputation for his
independent research along pathol-
igical lines.
The Doctor is 76 years. old, but
is as active as man many years
younger. In SEEING him, it is hard
to realize that he was the youthful
friend of William Ellis, the great
Edglish Educator, of John Stuart
Mill, the profound Economist, ard
later of those great lovers ofliloerty,
and equality of the past, Carl
baldi, Mazini, Ledru Roliln, Lou S
Blanc, Victor Hugo, and Piani

Coming Presidents.

The chances are that the presidents
after 1882 and up to 1914 are nov
preparing for college, 1t would take
a very far-seeing man to guess who
will be president at any election be

he probable candidate of a sinsl'
sarty after 1924. Perhaps schoolmas

ters into his race for the Guberna-
torial nomination.
He is in most excellent position
to give the people of the Common
wealth strictly business admins
tration. Being a strictly business
man, uniformly courteous to al
whom he may chance to meet and
mindful of but one thing, a straight,
honest line for every man to walk
OIL, he can enter the Gubernatorial
office with free hand and a clean
heart, having nothing i'll view but
an honest administration OF public
affairs,
The man who can stand on a
platform of Mississippi, who does
not seek a vindication Of any kind,
is a rarity these days, and every
man must admit that this is the
only kind of a man who is entitled
to the office Personal spites should
not be worked out through public
office, or should any man seek to
enter an office over the small, mig
gardly animosities engendered by
political or any otherkind of spleen,
Every Mississippian can safely
vote for Chas. Scott. He does not
seek the nomination for the sake
of vindication. He seeks the
office because he is qualified to dis
charge the duties incumbent upon
the Governor of a great State in
such manner as to reflect honor
upon his Commonwealth and fel-
low citizens. .-Natehez Democrat

these so silver certificates to the treasury.
They will promptly be converted into ones
