MEASURED TO THE STAND
ARD.

Those who know Hon. Chas.
Scott appreciate the fact that he is
in every sense true man and have
felt no uneasiness as to the result
when he should face his opponents
for the responsible Office of COVER
nor before the voters. A student
for many years, an accomplished
lawyer and a successful business
man, they knew him to be able to
take care of himself in any emer-
geney with credit and honor; but
the way he came up to the demands
made upon him at the Neshoba
county gathering OH "Wednesday
was rather surprise to his friends.
With five opponents present and
himself and his platform the special
mark of the arrows OF each, he,
while not courting the fight, WIS
ready for it and moved his oppo-
nents down like grass before the
scvthe in the hands OF an expert.
This was his first political speech
and it at once placed him in the
forefront as speaker of ability, a
statesman CT power and a man of
courage and convictions. The
Scott stock has gone up, the issue
is clear, the field against the peo-
pie and Scott and the result is not
in doubt. He has been put on trial,
has measured to the best expecta-
ton and thus gives mark OF the
standard which will be his aim
and purpose as the governor OF this
great and proud people. Biloxi

souality. The combination of these
qualities in one man is sufficiently
rare to stamp him as altogether ex-
ceptional; but even this enumera-
ton is not complete. There seems
to be no limit to the grace and
versatility of the man. The ac-
complisllments of the scholar, writ
er and speaker must also be added
to the list. TO those who appreci-
ate and value these attainments no
better proof that they are possessed
by Mr.. Scott can be offered than
in the address made by him on the
subject of The Confederate Sol
dier. '-Myersville Spectator.
The Bolivar County Democrat. (Rosedale, Miss.) 1887-1969, 1906-09-08

The address delivered by Hon.
Chas. Scott at the Crystal Springs
Ghautauoua on Confederate day
was one OF the best made by-any
man since the war. 1t was beau
tiful in thought, happy i'll express
ion, sincere in tone, and delivered
with force and effect, and with the
sympathy that only All old Gonfed-
crate soldier can feel. II is a great
production, the emination of a

casion. Clarion Ledger.

themselves how far he towers, III
his splendid manhood and charac-
ter, above the little owbrained
few who are busy reviling him.
Those of us who have known him
for years, and love and admire him
for his strength of character and
splendid worth, regret that there
are those mean enough to slander
such man or inpugn his mo-
tives, yet we know that the sharpest
arrows of slander will never reach
him, and all the abuse and calumny
under high heaven, can't stain a
hem Of his garment.

many counties In north and east
Mississippi and took special pains
to inquire what effect, if any, the
abuse of Mr.. Scott was having on
the minds of the people. | found

A recent dispatch from Port Glib

TODAY by supporters of the Hon.
Charles Scott Scott Club, some
500 names enrolled, and by night
the 900 mark will be touched.
The object Of the club is to work
for the interest of Charles Scott for

no doubt carry Claiborne in walk,
as every indication SO far points

and each succeeding day finds Mr..
Scott a much weaker candidate for
gubernatorial honors, while as a
matter of fact, they know this to
be the exact reverse to the facts III
the case. In this connection, The
Herald would remind it's readers
that the same tactics failed very sig
nally in 1908, when this same gang
had Gov Vardainan running back
ward almost throughout the CAM
paign. The most gartifying feature
Of the situation is that the voters,
as class, are doing their own
thin king and will, i'll the Herald's
opinion, continue to do SO, re-
gardless of the solicitude of these
self-constituted guardians of the
states interest. Just what the gang
hopes to accomplish, i'll this way,
is by no means clear, but really
seems an effort to make the best OF
a hard bargain --Corinth Herald.
Charlie Scott has been accused,
by inuendo Of being gentleman
and wearing a clean shirt and be-
ing wealthy. He is guilty Of all
these, but he is no snob. He is a
prince of men among the great, and
genial unassuming man whose
merits are above snobbery under
all circumstances All gentlemen
whether mechanics or senators re-
ceive his genial smile and cordial
welcome alike. He is self edu-
Gated and self made man, and the
Lord in his infinite goodness ell
dowed him with the material OF a
large mind. a big heart and all hon
esty that knows no second choice.
He seeks the Office for the honor,
and in craftsmanship and ability he
will reflect credit that will put our
state Oh a plane with the proudest.
It is fitting now that our State IS
OH the high road to prosperity that
the destinies of the people should
be guided by such man as Char
lev Scott, for as such he is known
bv ali, the highest and the lowest
where he has resided all his long
and useful life.
He is seeking to meet the citl-
zens Of the State he loves and hon
ors and to know him is to i e him.
It already looks as if his canoidacy
is rising above that OF the many
gentlemen who have announced tor
the Office. An indefinite class Of
papers that always wait to catch
the drift of popular breeze will be
swept along with the rising tide
and then in an overwhelming en-
dorsement will Charley Scott be
recompensed for the sacrifice OF his
law business and his private int.r-
ests.
IS years ago he was young at :
torney struggling with adversely
and the proud achievements of his
life has placed him first among
LAWYERS, first among honest men
and first in the esteem of his fellow
citizens.
We venture little in the asser-
ton that he will adorn the Office of
Governor of Mississippi as has he
adorned every station in private
II )life.-Vicksburg Democrat.
The Vicksburg American says,
"Mr. Charles Scott is admired for
his ability as a lawyer; for his high
moral character and regard for the
principles of personal honor; as a
successful man of business; as a

NOT A HOBBY HORSE.

Hon. Chas. Scott announces that
he will make horseback, house
toulouse campaign through the
state for governor. Before the
time OF railroads all candidates did
that they were hereby brought into
closer touch with their constituents.
It will be tedious task, and long
drawn out, hut we have no doubt
that it will be strong card IN the
game for the governorship. In the
day of conventions the farmer cut
no figure, but now he is factor
and must be consulted. Time was
when it was only necessary to con-
suit the bosses, but the primary law
and the Australian ballot have we'll
nigh put the political bosses out OF
business in the State Of Mississippi
and the candidates are forced to
hunt up and consult the dear peo-
pie.
History, or tradition, tells us
that Thomas Jefferson road into
Washington and hitched his horse
to a post, walked into the capitol,
took the oath OF Office, delivered
his little inaugural address, and got
astride his horse and rode away.
Then, to be a Jeffersonian Dem
ocrat one should ride on horse back
and hitch his horse to post at
every farmer house i'll the State.
We are assured, too, that Mr.
Scott will ride a flesh and blood
horse and not hobby horse. =

PETITION And
'-'''" JUDGMENT.
Rich, Rare and Racy Documents in
the Case of Henry Hardin
for Divorce.

Apropbos of the publication of the de-
cision by Judge Bramlette of the case
of Spoon VS. Spoon, In the Cumberland
Circuit Court, is the petition and judg-
ment in recent case in the Adair Cir
cult Court, wherein Henry Hardin was
plaintiff, and Linnie Hardin and Maggie
Campbell, alias Maggie Hardin, were
the defendants. The plaintiff by his
attorney, Mr.. Rollin Hurt, filed the fol-
lowing petition, viz
Adair Circuit Court.
Henry Hardin, Plff.,
against Petition IN
Linnie Hardid, & Equity.
Maggie Campbell
alias Maggie Hardin,
DTS.
The Plaintiff, Henry Hardin, says
that he is entitled to, and needs great
deal of relief; that he is in the middle
of mighty bad fix, because of the
wiles and Establishments of females and
the peculiar laws relating to marriage
and divorce, and the uncertainty of the
opinions of lawyers upon said subjects,
and his own ignorance and credullty:
that he is between fifty and sixty years
of age-the exact age he does not
know-and is alone in the world, and in
the language of the song of the woman,
whom Mingo Park heard singing in the
iungles of darkest Africa-''He has no
wife to give him milk, and no woman
to grind him corn" although during
his lifetime he has led two blushing
damsels to the altar of Hymen, both of
whom are still living and doing well,
and from neither of whom has he any
legal warrant of separation, and to add
to his other miseries, the minions OF
the criminal laws threaten him with
prosecution for bigamy. He says that
in all these transactions he has tried to
conform to the utmost requirements OF
the laws, and thought that he had
done so, but has now learned for the
first time, that the statutes relating to
limitations and possessions, which are
wont to extend so much comfort to un-
fortunates and derelictS, have no effect
upon the laws of matrimony and d.
vorce, and he therefore appeals to the
court to eXtricate him from his marital
difficulties and to define his status; to
determine how much he has been mar
ried, and to what extent he is now
married, and to relieve him from all the
burdens of the situation. He says
that he and the defendant, Linnie Har-
din, are both residents of Adair County,
Kentucky, and have continuously re-
sided in said county and State for more
than forty years last past. The de-
PENDANT, Maggie Campbell, alias Mag,
gle Hardin, resided in said county anc
State continuously for about forty
years, until about three years ago,
when she went to the State of Indiana,
and has lived there ever since, and is
now residing there. He and the de-
PENDANT, Maggie, Hardin, resided ii
Adair County, Kentucky, at the time
they were married, as will be hereafter
stated, and during all the time there
after until she went to live in Indiana

rations and actions hereinafter stated
and complained of, all occurred and ex
listed in this State; and the cause of di

FREIGHT CARRYING
LITIGATION Is BEGUN
MOTORMAN ON INTERURBAN is
UNDER ARREST
Engineer Of Trolley Car Taken Into
Custody and Bitter Fight Over
Provisions of Franchise Is Started
in Police Court

First steps were taken yesterday in
the citys fight against the operation of
freight cars on public streets, when
George L. Leabo, motorman on one of
the Los Angeles Interurban Railway
companys cars, was arrested and
taken before Police Judge Chambers,
charged with committing a public
nuisance.
The defendant was allowed until
Tuesday to plead.
This will be Il test case to decide
whether or not railway companies can
run their freight and express cars over
the Los Angeles streets. A long and
bitter fight is in prospect, for the rail-
way company will not yield up large
source of revenue without a long fight
in the courts.
The arrest of Leabo was merely a
formal one in order to make test case,
and he was at once released on 500
bonds.
Attorney Haskins represented the
railway company and Superintendent
McLenegan was present in court.
City Prosecutor Beebe says that the
city will endeaVor to show that the
company's franchise does not cover the
right to operate freight cars on its
lines, while the company claims that
the charter does not specify what kind
of cars are to be operated.

Il was troubled with catarrh of the

Three years ago I was forced to
give up business, and took my resi-
