The Bolivar County Democrat. (Rosedale, Miss.) 1887-1969, 1906-06-02

through his own personal efforts pulls
himself on top again, he is the man of
the people, the man for the people and
the man that the people want to elect
governor. Chas. Scott, of Bolivar Coun-
ty, is the man who fills this bill to q
nicely. He is the man who paid the de-
positors one hundred cents on the dol
lar, when he was not legally nor morally
responsible for the hiatus which he saw
fit to fill with his own hundred cent
dollars.-Natchez Democrat.
The announcement of Hon. Charles
Scott, of Bolivar county, is gratifying
to those patriotic Mississippians who ad-
mire man who does things" besides
politics. Mr.. Scott is perhaps the big
gest individual farmer in the State, and
he has achieved success by his own eff
forts. Politics is not his vocation, but
his expressed opinion in public affairs has
had its weight, because of his recognized
ability. He seeks the Governors Office
at a sacrifice to his private business in
terests to crafty laudable ambition
and to crown q successful business ca
reer with public service that is manifest
in the benefits to be conferred. We be-
lieve it is a traditional policy in Mis-
sississippi to elect only poor men to Of
flee, yet we have seen so many poverty
stricken supplicants raised from the
ranks with Indifferent results) and the
supply seems quite equal to the demand,
we are inclined to espouse the cause OF
one man of wealth and intellect-j6et to
relieve the monotony.-Pontotoc Ad-
vance.
The candidacy of Mr.. Scott will no
doubt have precisely that effect.
The general and unqualified endorse
ment Of the press of the State is a.
much credit to Mississippi as it is .
compliment to Mr.. Scott himself. The
press may be relied upon with consid-
cradle confidence as an echo of public
sentiment, and the inference is that the
people of Mississippi recognize the ad-
vantage that would accrue to the State
both at home and abroad from the abil-
ity and influence of such man at its
head.
There is nothing spectacular about
Mr.. Scott. He is too much a man of
the world for provincialism; too well
bred gentleman for affectation; too
truly man of culture and learning for
pretense, too sure of his own strength
for insincerity. He is man who Inn
presses and attracts at once by the
double force of his ability and his per-
sonality. Such qualities must reflect
the respect and esteem which he per-
sonally inspires upon the State which
he represents vicksburg American.
We are authorized to announce Hon.
Charles Scott, of R0sedale, Bolivar
County, as a candidate for Governor ct
the next election. He is a sound Demo-
crat, lawyer of great ability and one
of the largest planters of the State.
The Greenwood Enterprise says the
announcement that Hon. Charles Scott,
of Rosedale, will be candidate for
Governor at the next State election, has
been hailed with delight throughout this
section of Mississippi, where he is per-
sonally known to large majority of
our citizens.
Mr.. Scott has never before essayed the
role of politics, though he has always
evinced a deep personal interest in all
matters affecting the welfare Of the
State, and particularly that section of
the commonwealth known as the Yazoo-
Delta.
And the Enterprise is persuaded that
his candidacy in the present instance,
is prompted more from a desire to be
of service to his friends and fellow citi-
zens than from any personal ambition
for political preferment.
1t is certain that no man in the State
is better qualified for the duties of the
position, and that none are more de-
serving of the enthusiastic support of all
Mississippians.-Pascagoula Democrat
Star.

At the age of fifteen years we find
Charles Scott soldier in the ranks of
the Confederate army. The war over,
he is clerk in store, striving to get
money to gain an education. Then we
hear of him as school teacher, and
next as a law student, trying to master
the science with books borrowed from
friendly professionals, being himself too
poor to buy books. But he mastered the
study and made a good lawyer, building
up large and lucrative practice. After
this he is farmer, merchant and q
banker, making a success in each busi-
ness. We are told he is now wealthy,
but has an open heart for the distressed
and open hand for those in need. His
life has been one of success in every
business in which he has engaged, and
he has made host of friends through
out the State, and especially in the riv-
er and delta counties, where he is best
known and admired.
He now announces himself as candi-
date for governor, and if elected he
will govern the State and its affairs on
road-guage business plans, just as he
has his own business ventures and with
the same degree of success for the peo-
