Doctors Battle With Pneumonia

PNEUMONIA and consumption are banning
the skill of the medical profession. Doctors
of the entire world are engaged in g. de-
termined warfare against these merciless
enemies of the human race, but so long as
people neglect colds and coughs, pneu-
monia and consumption win prevail.
Prevention, then, does not lie with the
doctors, but with the people themselves.

Challenge.
Hon. Chas. Scott opens the ball in
the gubernatorial race. He is a good
man with a large following, and his
early announcement will no doubt
cause number of the would-be candi-
dates to econsider.-Gloster Record.
Hon. Charles Scott, of Bolivar County,
has positively announced his candidacy
for Governor, and will at the proper time
give expression to his views upon those
matters that most interest the people
of Mississippi. This announcement will
not precipitate campaign, though it
gives assurance of battle royal at the
proper time that will remind of the days
when giants were afield in the old COM
monwealth, contesting for principles as
well as honors.-Aberdeen Examiner.
Governor Vardaman will hand over the
reins of government to his successor with
clean record, and after that all will
be smooth and easy sailing. Mississippi
at this juncture needs business gov
ernor, and that is what she will have
in the Hon. Charles Scott, who has had
sufficient public experience to enable
him to administer affairs wisely and
well, and when he steps down and out
turn the place over to his successor
without scandal-Natchez Bulletin.
1t is generally accepted that Hon.
Charles Scott, of Rosedale, Miss, will
be a candidate for Governor in the next
race. Mr.. Scott is fine man with
host of warm and admiring friends, who
stands high in the regard of all who
know him and it is generally expected
that he will make a most formidable
candidate. Mr.. Scott's name has been
mentioned in connection with this honor
for some time past but his utterance the
past week that he would probably be
a candidate" seems to settle the mat
ter--Columbus Dispatch.

week since new probable gubernation-
al candidate" has been mentioned. We
are reminded very much of one of
Aesop's fables in this day of multi
tudinous candidates who imagine them
selves made of executive timber. They
may have ability sufficient to hold and
probably conduct successfully minor
office, but for Governor Mississippi needs
man of known ability, one whose
friends concede him greater executive
capacity than he would claim. Such a
man is the Hon. Charles Scott, of Rose
dale.-Sunfower Tocsin, Indianola.
Hon. Charles Scott announces that he
will be a candidate for Governor. The
Herald does not know how many Others
will announce for this honorable posi-
ton. We do know that Mississippi has
no man better qualified than Charles
Scott of Bolivar County. He would
make one of the ablest chief executives
the State ever had. There is none OF
the cheap political clap-trap about Mr..
Scott. and his administration would be
marked with a dignity and loftiness
that would place him among the leading
Governors OF the United States.-Yazoo
Herald.
Hon. Chas. Scott has received more
high tributes from the press and lead
ing men of the State since he became
a candidate for governor than has any
other candidate for the same office, dur
ing the same length of time, within the
recollection of the writer. This peerless
statesman is the ablest and best quail
fed from a standpoint of character,
knowledge and special fitness, in the
writer's humble opinion, of any man so

SCOTT MAKES
TORRID REPLY
DenOunCeS as False That He's a
Railroad Candidate.
Says Respect for His Audience Prevents Him
From Using a Strong Anglo-Saxon
Word of Three Letters.

Ellisville, Sept. 12.-Hon. E. F.
Noel and Hon. Charles Scott, can
didates for Governor, addressed a
large audience here during the re-
cess Of Circuit Court and the
speeches of each made fine i'm
preston, and it is very evident that
both candidates have made many
friends in this county.
The usual speeches were made by
these gentlemen, except In conclu-
sion Mr.. Scott added spice to the
occasion by remarking that he had
hoped that the campaign would be
conducted on high plane, and, SO
far as he was concerned, it should
be; that he had made it point in
his canvass never to refer to any
one Of his honorable competitors by
name unless present.
He regretted very much, he said,
to know that mud-slinging had al
ready commenced as against him
self, there being scarcely day
that he was not informed by some
friend Of slanderous charges made
against him which had no founda-
ton, except in the Imagination OF
some political enemy. He would
not condescend, he said, as rule,
to notice any Of the ISLANDERS repeat
ed against him, but would make an
exception in this case and reply to
one statement which he desired to
denOunce.
He had recently been Informed
bv a number of friends that it was
currently reported that he was
"the candidate Of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad Company, and had
met in conference with some OF the
officials of that road in Memphis
The Bolivar County Democrat., 1906-09-22

and New Orleans, where the sub
ject of the gubernatorial campaign
in Mississippi was discussed, the re-
port being that the road stood
pledged to support him by inhuenc-
ing it's attorneys and other en-
ployes to espouse his cause. = Re
plying to this report, Mr.. Scott said
with decided emphasis:
81 do not know who is respOn-
sible for this slander, having no
knowledge whatever as to its author
or genesis. I not only Indignantly
repudiate it, but want to repeat
here what l said at Nettleton-that
it is wholly, wilfully and malicious
ly false, and but for my respect for
the audience and myself l would
characterize it by the use Of a short,
sharp, crisp, stinging Saxon word
that can be spelled with three let
ters.'
This denunciation by Mr.. Scott
was received with hearty applause,
the audience believing that he had
not only told the truth in the mat
ter, but branded the author Of the
report in suitable language.-Ha-
zelhurst Courier.
Mr.. Scott's denunciation of his
traducer in the railroad candidate
affair is severe, but just. 1t is
characteristic Of the man. It
should have the effect Of at once
producing the facts in the case,
or if not of stamping the charge
with the three letters of the "crisp
and thrilling Anglo-Saxon word'
which respect for Mr. SCOTS audi
ence prevented him from uttering.

Hon. Charles Scott announces his can
d;dacy for gubernatorial honors. With
out any reference to any other prospec-
tive candidates, The Leader believes that
there is no man in the State better quail
flied for the office as to purity and
cleanness of political and personal life,
or of higher degree of craftsmanship,
than the Bolivar County candidate
West Point Leader.
Chas. Scott of Bolivar is loved for
the friends he has made, which is re-
versal of the old antiquated moss-covered
chestnut that has been worked to death
by the old politicians. His claim to
recognition is that he is successful
Mississippian and that his merits en-
title him to the best that his fellow
citizens can bestow upon him-their vote
in his favor for Governor. He has no
idea of using the office as a tool by
which he can work his way into the
United States Senate. Nor has he been
feeding at the public crib with view
to laying the wires to land himself in
the gubernatorial chair.-Natchez Dem
ocrat and Courier.
The announcement of the candidacy
for Governor of Hon. Charles Scott is
received with qualification all over his
beloved State. Many prominent jour
nails, including the Vicksburg Herald,
have promptly announced support,
and the Jackson News and other able
sheets, while noncommittal at this early
stage of the campaign, publish splendid
and eloquent tributes to the merits and
charater of the illustrious applicant for
well deserved civic honors. While strong
with all classes and thoroughly identi-
fed with every progressive aspiration
of his people, he is peculiarly a farm

 miles long. running northwest and southwest and lying between Salome and Quartzite, the northerly end being close to Brayton postoffice, the new name for BOuse's Well. watering place familiar to everyone who has ever visited this section.
 The Arizona & California railroad is now completed to Brayton and Stod- dard's gang is now completing a depot there similar to the one at SaIome. about half a mile north of Tom Bouse's ranch. The grade is completed several miles past Brayton but was discon- tinued early in the summer on account of the heat and great expense of haul ing water. The steel gang is expected back sometime next month an as soon as the rails are laid to the end of the track, it is thought that grading will be resumed and pushed to the Colorado river. about twenty-five miles past Brayton. Ties are already distributed nearly to the end of the grade and the bridge gang is fast completing the cul- verts and bridges. A we'll about sixty feet deep has been dug by the railroad company and pump and water tank are now being installed.

'"The King of Tramps," a Yankee Doodle comedy. in four big laughing acts, which comes to the Doris opera house Wednesday.

 The Holy City. Story founded on in cidents told in the Bible. and handled with judgment and reverence.
 The production of "The Holy City" to be given at the Doris on Tuesday December 4th. will be an agreeable surprise even to those who expect the most from the play and the presenta- tion' will be one that will live for years and will receive constantly increasing praise and patronage at the hands of the public.
 It is certainly a daring attempt to give a play founded on some of the most stirring and tender incidents in the Holy Word, and only by the most careful avoidance of anything like secrilege could the play be made a sue cess. But this has been accomplished by the author and the dialogue does not breathe a single work but what Is pure and elevating in it's tendencies. The play Is founded on the incidents of the Biblical story just previous to and immediately after the crucifixiOn and the scene on Calvary is shown in tableaux after the painting by Michel Angelo. The presence of Christ is fre- quently referred to. but obviously n would be impractical and offensive to attempt to represent the Master on the stage, and this is not done. But may of those intimately associated with Christ during His time on earth, are presented with fidelity to the best cot,- captions of their characters and ap- pearance. and the result IS a play which is absorbing in interest and elevating in it's teachings.
 Great care has certainly been shown: in the selection of the cast and the leading parts will be taken by artists of exceptional ability. who will give to the portrayal that skill and intelligent conception which makes an enjoyable performance.
 The costuming and stage accessories will be truly magnificent in every de- tail. and the costuming especially will be modelled after the historical records of the times in which the play is sup posed to be given.
