VARDAMAN
ENDORSED.

Again James K Vardaman has
been endorsed Again that distin-
guished statesman has had his plat
form brought forth In the last cam
paign for Governor. James X. Varda-
man brought forth the negro ques-
ton and stumped the State on it.
His critics gave him thunder on every
hand Now, Judge Truly comes forth
in his platform with the same thing
and endorses everything brought out
BY Vardaman three years ago In
part Judge Truly says:
For the negroes, such Christian,
moral. rudimentary and industrial ed
ucation should be provided as Will
best equip them for the subordinate
position, which, in the economy OF
nature. they are destined to hill

ton before. He contended it then,
and has contended so ever since His

man: then they come forward with
the same platform. 1t shows that
lanes X Nardaman has been right
in his contention all the time Again,
Nardaman contended for a more just
distribution of the school funds. In
this he. is this time supported by
Judge Truly. who says:
NO system which sends majority
OF the negro children to school III
Mississippi for a longer term each
wear than it does majority of the
white children of the State, should
be tolerated any longer than the time
needed to abrogate it. Nor should
the people hesitate to change sys-
tenn which permits the accumulation
of a large and increasing surplus of
idle money in the vaults of the banks
while the State is paying interest on
money borrowed to run the govern
ment and the schools. This money
should be devoted to the advance
ment of the cause of education. or
| left in the pockets of the tax-pay-
| ers.' etc.
He comes boldly to the front this
time. advocating abrogation of the
present law.
1t also seems from Judge Truly S
platform that he considers this issue
the greatest. This is what the pres
ent Governor thought. Judge Truly
says:
Inasmuch as the public school
system of the State is recognized
as one of the most potential instri1-
mentalities for the benefit of the peo-
pie at large, such liberal appropria-
! tions should be favored as will ex-
| tend the effect of that system to its
utmost limit for good. The
manifest purpose Of our Constitution
was to place within the grasp of every
white child of the State the chances

This part OF Judge Truly's plat
form suits the Commercial exactly,
and It IS proud to know that he came
out Just where he did. But it IS not
a fact that during the last campaign
Truly was circuit judge, and further,
is it not fact that during that cam

antagonistic to Vardaman's conten-

Noting your editorial of the end,
relative to delayed payment of claims
by this company, as truth gives con-

that the claim of Kamatsu, under Our

advance is that the fire at MerigOld.
Miss, November last, was vouchered
instead of paid by draft, and all such
claims had to pass through severai
channels before they were in proper
shape for settlement There was a de-
lay to this particular claim on ac-
count of the prescribed form of afn-

THE BLACK BAYOU
DRAINAGE BILL

The defeat of the Black Bayou
Drainage Bill by the Board of SUI
pervisors last Monday, does not les
sen the belief in the minds and hearts
of the thinking people of the great
valley lands that these lands should
and ought to be drained to bring
them into cultivation SO that each
acre may contribute its part to
the wealth of the county.
1t may be true that the bill was
not perfect, still we do know, as
stated, that the men who framed it
had no other object in view than to
frame a bill that was perfect and
place the burden of taxation equally
and just on every land owner in the
district.
Washington county cannot now
afford to turn back in its forward
march of progress. The word has
gone forth that the county will by
drainage. open up thousands OF
acres of fertile lands, place on the
market millions of dollars in fine
valuable timber if the plan by a sur
vey shows it can be done at a
reasonable expense. Now let those
land owners whose lands are direct
ly affected come forward and put up
the money to make the survey. The
cost of the work will not exceed
$4,000, and we believe that $500 OF
this amount can be raised here in
Greenville.
This, In our opinion. is the only
solution to the problem until the
convenlng of our next Legislature.

fessional life has been passed wholly
here III Greenville; practically his en-
tire career since manhood has been
worked out in our midst; some of us
can recall it from the beginning even
to the end. AS a sound and capable
lawyer, a wise adviser, and tena-
Cious upholder of his clients cause,
he has always been a busy practi-
toner, fully employed in the duties
and responsibilities of his profes-
sion. His professional and material
euccssses have been ample as he
cared for for he was never a mercen-
ary man. OF such honors and re-
sponsibilities as his fellow citizens
could bestow he enjoyed a large
share. He was twice elected to the
State Senate from this county, and
was afterwards President of the
Board of Levee Commissioners. Yet
in these, probably the evidence of
confidence and good will on the
part OF the community was that
which gave him qualification, rather
than honor and dignity of office The
esteem and affection of his fellows
was fragrant and sweet to his nos
trils; they were to him, as to all of
us. the very breath and essence of
