Letter to J. S. King.
Grenada.

Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three
or four tails to it,.
Professor Irvine has an Academy.
Mercerburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 90 gallons of paint. There were
two paint stores there, and he used to
buy Zone year of one, next year OF the
Other) 80 gallons year after year.
Now he paints DevOe: so gallons:
and the difference is saving of $3.50
a year.
Fl. G. Fallon was one of those deal
erS, good man; but he wouldn't
take-up Devoe; so we turned
to the other, J. A. Boyd. But
Fallon has found it necessary to get a
good paint to compete with Devoe.
He got one of the eight honest paints.
He has big hardware store and is
doing an excellent hardware business:
but Boyd of course, has the run on
paint---he's little hardware man.
We don't care how little or big a
man is, if he wants good paint and is
active and sound.
Yours truly

Longino at Capital.

y special from Washington says
Former Governor A. III. LonginO, the
immediate predecessor in the office of
Governor Vardaman, is in Washing
ton, and stopping at the Raleigh. OF
the occasion Of his presence here he
said today:
Il am East on purely private buSi-
ness, and merely stopped in Washing
ton on my way to New York. My
trip has nothing to do with politics.
MiSSiSSippianS, as a rule, are too busy
making money these days to think or
care much about politics. Up TO u
recent period we had magnificent crop
prospects, but the late storms have
done immense damage to cotton
throughout the entire Mississippi
Delta and the farmers Of Louisiana.
Arkansas and Mississippi have been
badly hurt.
The country thus effected is the
most productive cotton region in the
world. The Importance of this dam
is accentuated when the reduction in
the worlds supply is conSidered-a
reduction within the past year of
about 100000 bales. On the other
hand, the increase in consumption has
been enormous. Taken altogether,
there is no doubt that the world is
with another great short
age in the cotton supply"

The Yazoo City Herald, edited b,
Hon. j. G. Mcclure, Secretary Of th,
Mississippi Press Association, former
member of the Legislature and here
tofOre an enthusiastic supporter OF
Hon. ChaS. Scott for Governor, has
the following to say Of Mr.. Brewers
Yazoo City speech:
Hon. Earl Brewer, candidate fol
Governor, delivered his first speech tC
a YazOO audience IN the court house
here Monday afternoon. Mr.. Brewer S
coming had not been announced, and
but few knew that he was in the city
| until his arrival at the court house
about l O'Clock Monday morning. He
was warmly greeted by friends, having
u number OF acquaintanceS among
members of the bar.
Judge Miller readily granted Mr..
Brewer the use Of the court room to
begin at O'Clock. Promptly at that
hour Mr.. Brewer appeared. and there
was good crowd present, which fin
ally grew until all the seats were Occu-
pied. The speaker was introduced by
Hon. G, S. BuIraS; who paid him gene
rons compliment as a man of integri-
ty, OF honor, and as an able attorney
who has proven his worth by Jealous
discharge Of every duty.
There is no candidate who has
been discussed more recently than Mr..
Brewer, especially since the speaking
at Greenwood, where he was severely
denounced by Hon. ChaS. Scott for an
alleged speech said to have been de-
livered by Mr.. Brewer at Flag Hill, in
Kinds County. This had the effect of
drawing crowd all Of whom were
anxious to hear what Mr.. Brewer
would have to Say in reply to the Stric-
lures. 1t is certain that Mr.. Brewer
had few il any supporters in the audi
ence at the time he began bis speech.
aud but few if any SympathizerS, for
those present believed that he had
been correctly reported in his Flag
Hill speech, and that lie had failed to

In beginning his speech, Mr.. Brew
er announced his platform Of princi-
pies. and what he conceived governor
should be. He pledged that if elected
he would give to the State an honest
administration, one which would be |
free from favOritism to any class or
classes, and would use his every en-
1eavOr to advance the material and |
moral progress and welfare of the

The best treatment for indigestion
and troubles of the stomach is to rest
the stomach. 1t can be rested by
starvation or by the use of a good di-
gestant which will digest the food
eaten, thus taking the work off the
stomach. At the proper temperature
a single teaspoonful of Kodol will
wholly digest 5000 grains of food. 1t

the stomach in shape to satisfactorily
perform its functions. Good for indi-

Substantially the resolution was as
follows:
with love to all men and especial
ly for those engaged in conducting
places for gambling, blind tigers and
other vices; we prayerfully and firmly
ask that such persons surrender to
Christ and lead pure lives or leave the
city OF Grenada, SO that they may not
corrupt those who desire to live pure
lives and may not cause mothers,
wives and sisters hearts to break
over ruined men and boys"
The mover and advocates OF this
motion were tender in their express
SionS Of interest in the men thus sim
ming and declared that they would go
any time to heip them be saved and
earnestly prayed that God would save
them and make them workers for
good ms cad Cf evil. But a feeling OF
firm purpose prevailed that the people
meant that these men should not con-
tinue TO damn those SO dear to happy
homes NURPHER.

better ana more cOntented citizenship
and more lasting prosperity would be
the result.
He was opposed to the granting Of
exemptions from taxation and privi-
! legeS to corporations that were denied
individuals. He believed corporations
should be taxed fair and equitably just
as indiviGuslS. He is bitterly opposed
to bucket shops and speculation in fu-
, lures, saying that it is q most PERM
cious form Of gambling, and if elected
governor would try and drive them
from the State. Upon this subject he
said his five distinguished opponents
were as Silent as a grave.
In coming to the railroads and
their attempts to influence legislation
in this state, the speaker showed that
he was intensely in earnest. He re-
ferred to the merger Of the Mobile &
Ohio with the Southern, which he
said, was a fragrant violation of the
State Constitution, and because of it
patrons OF the Nj. & O. were compelled
to pay annually S25, 90 on account of
increased fleight rates. He cited the
purchase Of the Y. & NJ. V. railroad
OF the Webb branch from the South
ern, which he declared was another
violation Of the State Constitution,
and had been SO declared by the
courts. He cited an instance of the
\. 81 Nj. V. Railroad furnishing a
train free few years ago to carry
delegates to Il Congressional district
convention at Greenville who were
favorable to one candidate, and re-
fuSing even for pay to run another
train to carry delegates favOring the
nomination Of another candidate. He
stated that Hon. w. Q. Cole, now
State Insurance Commissioner, was
dismissed from the service of the Hi
nOiS Central Railroad because he re-
fused, while member of the City
Council of Water Valley, to vote to
grant the road the right to lay GER
tain switch track i'm that town which |
was bitterly opposed by the citizens.
In making these statements Mr. Brew
er referred personally to MeSSrS. Har-
rahan and GilleaS of the Illinois Cen
trail, and Hon. E. l.. Russell of the I
Mobile & Ohio, and declared that
these acts showed the railroads were
not only attempting to influence leg
iSlatiOn in the State, but bad already

Brewers Yazoo City Speech
Discussed By a Scott Paper

| by letter mentions several prominent
gentlemen who are supporting him,
| and among these three leading rail
road officials, and this he proves by
exhibiting the letter, which is signed
by the writer. But Mr.. Brewer de-
MES that he ever charged that this
particular candidate was the candidate
of the railroads.
There is no denying the fact that
Mr.. Brewers statements fully vindi-
Gated him in the minds of those who
heard him, and changed the sentiment
and feeling of his hearers and made
for him many warm supporters. No
speaker could have received more re-
spectful attention, and The Herald is
Of the opinion that the argument
Brewer presents to the people with
his elOquence, force and earnestneSS,
is going to make its impression upon
the voters before the campaign con-
cludeS, which will be in August of
next year, and that the other cand-
dates will find him q formidable Op-
pOnent, one with whom they will have
to reckon. There are several causes
that will bring this about. One Of
these is that Mr.. Brewer has a plat
form OF principles that appeals to the
reason and good judgement of the
people: he has the courage of his con-
victiOnS: he is an orator who presents
his argument in q fOrceful manner
and another reason is that he will fin
ally show that he has been miSquOted,
and that because of this misquotation !
he has been miSrepreSented and de-
MED fair deal.
'In the beginning Of the canvass
The Herald determined to give to
each cadidate for Governor a square |
deal. 1t was among the papers that
thought Mr.. Brewer should resign
from the race after the Greenwood
episode. 1t now cOngratulateS him
hat he did not do SO. for after hear
ng his speech Monday it is our opinion
hat he has said nothing of which any
honest man should be ashamed or be-
,Ome offended. He attacks no mans
private character, nor in the least re-
lectS upon his honor. His speech

EXPOSITION WILL OPEN ON APRIL 26, 1907
The City of Norfolk Fully Alive to
What 1t Has Undertaken and VIII
Care Handsomely For its Guests.
Many Hotels Being Built.

Norfolk, Na.-Whcn Thomas Camp
bell penned the line. Coming events
cast their shadows before" he framed
a truth, in becoming diction, which is
receiving verifcatiOn for perhaps, an
lntlnlty of times, during these days in
Norfolk of the Old DOmihiUn. Never
in the history Of the old city at the
head OF Hampton Roads were so many
visitors seen, crOWding through the
streets, filling hotel lObbies and con-
tributing their mite to the prosperity.
comfort and ease Of the defendants Of
| the Cavaliers.
The cause Of this rush, hustle and
turmoil is known to every resident Of
Norfolk, and there is not the shadow
of possibility that the correct cause
has eluded the perception of observers.
The jamestown Exposition which will
open its gates to visitors from every
part of the world on April Goth, 1907,
is responsible for the inflow. People
who are taking vacation, having
read about the forthcoming event, in
cludc Norfolk in their itenerary so as
to have a preliminary peep at the sur
rOundingS.
Among those who are fiocking to the
city on their way to the Exposition
grounds short distance away on the
historic shore of Hampton Roads,
there is to be found representatives
or every class Of our diversified citi-
zenship. LabOring men who are ag-
gregating together in social or civic
associations. merchants, railroad men.

the several learned walks CT life, and

of these days and en-
barking on the trolly cars bound for
the Exposition grounds. whence, after
a cusory survey CT the preparatory
work being done, they return to Nor
folk and pass on to their respective
homes.
This influx is a genuine discipline
for the people of the city in accoSting

duty is being complied with in the
true spirit of knightly courtesy. 1t is

After Being in Progress Over
Three Weeks.
THE REV. GEO, Gates A GREAT PREACHER
Total Conversions Four Hundred and
Sixty Two. --!lany United With the
Churches OF Their Choice. The
Hearts of Pastors rIade Glad

The last service in the revival meet
ing was held Wednesday night. The
meeting had been in progress for over
three weeks and had the sympathy
and interest Of the entire town to an
extent perhaps never before seen here.
The Rev. Mr.. Gates is not a great
preacher, measured by the usual sig
nificance given the word. Bot he is a
great preacher in that he can utilize
every arm Of all the churches TO cause
men to contemplate their condition
and the certainty OF hereafter and
their relations in the world to come
as made by their own acts and align
mentS in this world. The fact that
he is able to get people to take their
latitude and longitude and to peep
into futurity is an evidence Of extra
ordinary power and is an attest that
heaven smiles approval Of what he en-
deavOrS to do. Foremost in his work
is the petitions that he and those lab
Oring with him send to a Throne of
Grace for guidance and for the par
ticular objects Of their prayers. The
conversions under his ministry gives
emphasis to that statement of Holy
Writ which says that 'the prayers
of the righteous availeth much
The total conversions numbered 462
which is an evidence of a remarkable
work of grace and that Grenada was
deeply stirred.
The meeting suspended last Sunday
morning in order that the pastors of
the various churches might hold SER
vices in their own churches and receive
those who desired to join into the
church. The first Baptist church re-
ceived SS add tiOnS and the heart Of |
its worthy pastor, Rev. w. +. Roberts. |
was made happy and glad that so |
many new ones had enrolled under his |
paStOrate to carry the banner Of |
Christ.
The Methodist church received 81 |
additions and the Rev. b. p. JacO.
pastor, never seemed in a more joy
Gus mood than he was in welcoming
these new ones under the banner of
Him who died that all men might
walk theiStreetS of the New JeruSa-
lem. 1t was beautiful sight as the
new members were strung out around
the chancel and down both aiSleS Of
the church as they were hidden God
speed on their road to heaven.
The Rev. J. @. CarOtherS Of the
Presbyterian church perhaps never
spent more delightful day in his
than in administering the
church VOWS TO those who united with
his church.
Rev. J. W. Lee of the Central Bap-
tist church also had great day and
enjoyed the privilege of counting
many new ones as members OF his
flock. There are many others who
will at once unite with the church Of
their choice and Grenada will long
honor the days that the Rev. Geo. c.
Gates labOred SO diligently for the
cause of Christ in her midst. Phys
lcally he is very weak man and at
the close of the meeting was COM
pletely broken down and was compell-
ed to take his bed for little recuper-
alton. He went from here to Mem
phiS where he will at once go to work !
