defending her good name. He
measures up to all that is in the
ideal candidate.
Mr.. Scott has already attained
national distinction by reason OF
the part he has taken in levee work
and the improvement of the great
river that marks our western boun-
Diary. His clear conception of the
requirement of this work, his deep
! erudition of the subject, and his
indomitable spirit in the work of
redeeming and rendering habitable
the vast areas of alluvial lands i'll
the Delta have carried him easily
to the fore in sll matters looking to
the education of the people of the
Mississippi Valley or the influence
ing of national aid in the work.
He is today the best known river
Improvement man in the nation.
He is completely identified with the
people of the State and possesses
that high sense of honor and fair
ness that would place the whole
State within the pale of his admin
istration. A friend to all, both
high and low, a man of incorrupti-
BILE honor, patriot that loves duty
and the cause of right for their
own sakes, it would indeed be hard
to find in the great Commonwealth
another who could measure arms
with him in those high attainments
that the position demands. .-Cleve-

THE MISSISSIPPI GovERNORSHIP.

THE MISSISSIPPI GOVERNORSHIP
The Times Democrat is author
lied to announce the candidacy OF
the Hon. Charles Scott, Of Rose
dale, Miss, for Governor of the
State of Mississippi. Mr.. Scott
will submit his claims to Demo
cratic primary in an effort to secure
the party nomination, which, of
course, would be equivalent to
election in that State. In due time
he will enlighten the electorate of
Mississippi with respect to his
views on current political issues,
deferring any extended statement
of his attitude toward contempor-
ary questions to some future and
more appropriate season.
Mr. Scott is one of the best
known men in Mississippi and en-
joys the esteem and affection of a
wide personal acquaintance. AS a
lawyer he possesses splendid ability,
and has given considerable study
to public questions with particular
reference to the needs of Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Scott for many years
has 'been active in behalf of the
levee system, and it may be said of
him, without any disparagement of
worthy services rendered by others,
that few men have accomplished
more in this behalf. More recent
ly Mr.. Scott has devoted much
time and study to the question of
immigration, making personal in
quiry into conditions in European
countries with view of securing
for Mississippi and other States of
the South immigrants from the
most desirable sources in the Old
World. Mr.. Scott will enter the
contest splendidly equipped in
every way for the royal struggle.
Of course, other candidates for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Mississippi may offer
in the meantime. The State has
many eligibles and they are not
without ambition. Mr.. Scott all
nouncer1ent, therefore, at this early
date will probably achieve the re-
suit Immediately desired by devel-
oping the names of other aspirants
and giving some sort of shape to
the issues upon which the contest
is to be waged.-New Orleans

SCOTT, OF BOLIVAR FOR GOVERNOR

The Herald Jackson letter today
contains the definite statemente of
his candidacy for Governor, by the
Hon. Ohas. Scott, of Bolivar coun-
ty. While the election does not
come off until 1907, the subject
has already been much agitated in
the state press. AS his name has
figured prominently in the discus
sion, to end speculation as to his
position, presumably, and with
characteristic di1ectness, Mr..
Scott has, thus early, hung his
banner on the outer wall, 3" Little
or much as is its support may
amount to, The Herald is for
him. This is because, first, we
know him to be sagacious, able,
patriotic and courageous man; and,
second, because of close friend
ship running back almost
to the war days. On such an
acquaintance our faith that he will
make the state a model Governor
is founGed.-Vicksburg Herald.

4 Few Of the Many Splendid Tributes Of
Love and Esteem Paid to Mr.. Scott
by tho Mississippi Editors.

HON. CHAS. SCOTT FOR GOVERNOR.
The News on yesterday contained
the first authoritative announce
ment that Hon. Chas. Scott. of
Bolivar county, would be candi-
date for Governor. Mr.. Scott has
been mentioned in this connection
for the last year and this fact has
given great deal of pleasure to
his many friends all over the State.
The announcement of Mr.. Scott in
yesterdays News was very brief,
| ut it was characteristic of the man.
He came out in straightforward
way and said that he was a candi-
date for Governor, that he did not
propose to run as a factional candi-
tdate for this Office, but would be
The Governor of the whole people.
The News at this time does not
feel that it is wise to commit itseli
in favor of any candidate, but al
the proper time will do so, but nc
matter who runs for the Office OF
Governor, no better man will ap-
pear before the people for their
suffrages, than the Hon. Chas.
Scott, of Bolivar. AS chivalrous
as an armor clad knight of old, he
has walked among the people of
this State, year in and year out,
exemplifying in his life that truth
and honesty has been taken as his
guiding star. No wonder such a
man is loved by those who have the
opportunity to knew him. Under
any and all circumstances he has
acted the part of a man. When
misfortune overlook him and a
bank with which he was connected
failed, Mr.. Scott, though by no
means legally bound to pay the in
debtedness, his high sense of honor
dictated to him that he was morally
bound to pay the remainder of the
indebtedness, and this he promised
the depositors to do, and i'll a few
years he did so, this probably being
the first instance of the kind OH
record in this State where a single
man discharged an obligation OF
such magnitude for which he was
not legally bound and only by
stretching the moral code very
greatly, was he morally bound. 1t
is cheerful sign in Mississippi
when such men as Mr.. Scott con-
sent to stand for Office. The News
does not know who will oppose Mr..
Scott, but it docs know that no
better man will enter the list. He
is man who, if elected, would
give the State an administration
that would stand out as one of the
best ever vouchsafed the Common
wealth. High-minded, big Drained,
with an undying love for Missis-
sippi and her proud people, Hon.
Chas. Scott, as Governor, would
meet with fidelity and discharge
with an eye single to the best in
terests of the whole people, every
obligation imposed upon him by
his exalted position. What more
can be said of any man?--Jackson
News.

The candidacy of Hon. Chas.
Scott, for governor is attracting
great attention throughout the
state, and many very favorable
comments OH it are being made.
One thing is true, with the advent
of Mr.. Scott in the race all of the
kindergarten campaigns OF the
past will be forgotten and the race
will take on manly vigor right
from the start. It will be no
child's race and the Office will not
be won by affable smiles. There
will be no question but that a
i number of candidates will enter the
! l1st, but if they want to win they
can make up their minds to oppose

AN ECHO OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT
Hon. Chas. Scott opens the ball
in the gubernatorial race. He is a
good man with large following and
his early announcement will no
doubt cause number of the would
be candidates to reconsider. Clos
ter Recor |.
The candidacy of Mr.. Scott will
no doubt have precisely that effect.
The general and unqualified en-
dorsement of the press of the state
is as much credit to Mississippi
as it is a compliment to Mr.. Scott
himself. The press may be relied
upon with considerable 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 beth at home and abroad fr. III
the ability and influence of such a
man at its head.
There is nothing spectacular
about Mr.. Scott. He is too much
man of the world for provincial
ism; too we'll bred a gentleman for
affectation; too truly a man of
culture and learning for pretense,
too sure of his own strength for
insincerity. He is a man who i'm
presses and attracts at once by the
double force of his ability and his
personality. Such qualities must
reflect and esteem which he per
sonally inspires upon the state
which he represents. .-Vicksbure

The Reveille is pleased to see the
definite announcement of Hon.
Chas. Scott, of Bolivar county, for
governor. He is a man of ability,
strong character and liberality-a

a brainier man.
We believe that Mr.. Scott would
make just the governor Mississippi
needs. He possesses all of the
courage of conviction which is the
commendable feature of the present
administration, coupled with that
broad mind wich makes a big
man."

The announcement of the can
didacy of Hon. Charles Scott of
Bolivar for governor has aroused
general interest all over the state.
The active campaign will not open
for year, and the Sentinel will
espouse the candidacy of no man
until the field is full and the cam
paign begins. We have no hesi-
fancy in saying, however, that Mr..
Scott has all the qualifications
necessary to make the state one of
the best governors she ever had.
A lawyer of eminence, successful
banker and planter, man of the
highest integrity and the very soul
of honor, his administration would
shed luster on the fair fame of
Mississippi .-Yazoo Sentinel.

HON. CHAs. SCOTT A CANDIDATE.

Hon. Chas. Scott announces
that he will be candidate for gov
ernor. The Herald does not know
how many others will announce
position. We do know that Mis-
sissippi has no man better qualified
than Chas. 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.

WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL Governor

WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL GOVERNOR
Charley Scott is in the middle of
a bad fix. He has either to get
down to the level of the guberna-
torial office of today, or he has to
realize the dream of glory that is
all heritage from the times when
honor and cllivalry, learning and
oratory characterize public men and
when the Rucks, Yergers, Scots,
and that class of men made Missis-
sippi proud among. the States.
Charley Scott belongs to genera
ton gone by and his ideal of ths
office of Governor that he would
exalt and honor, has passed with
the boots who dwell in shadow
land, whittier roamed the fancy of
this scion of better days who comes
now to raise the once proud State
to its place among the sisterhood
of Commonwealth.
As lawyer and orator, Charley
Scott has inherited the full measure
of an ancestry that made Missis-
sippi respectable throughout the
world, and the ante-bellum Missis-
sippi reports were law the world
over wherever the principles OF
justice guides human understand
ing, and the Mississippi reports of
those days we're cited along with
Hale and Blackstone. Charley
Scott is more than a lawyer and
orator, he is genial gentleman.
clever, unassuming and jealous
guardian of the happiness and well
fare of the humblest, as is he abso-
lutely correct in his dealings with
all.
His candidacy reflects honor up
on the State. He will not go down
into the slough of despond, and
wallow in the mire of small per-
sonal ambitions, and will renew to
Mississippians the pride that has
been dead and buried all these long
and dreary years.
The sacrifice that Mr.. Scott
makes is well worthy his devotion
to his native State, whose history
is so intimately interviewer with
his fa1nily.-Vicksburg Democrat.

Scott is an able lawyer, a polished

If he does enter the race his oppo-

You see," said the clerk, with these
leaves, it is possible for a weak, bed
ridden invalid to read without fatig-
uing himself by holding in his hand a
heavy book When he reads Robin
soc Crusoe,' instead of holding a vol
ume weighing two or three pounds, he
holds a few pages of no appreciate
weight at all.
"A number Of hospitals have bought
sets of these invalid's libraries for their
patients. A hospital nurse pointed out
to me yesterday that, with this loose
leaf system, it is possible for ten or
twelve persons to be reading the same
book at the same time. A, for instance,
begins with the first ten pages, finishes
them, hands them to B, and takes up
the second ten pages. B finishes and
hands his installment to c. And thus,

reading the book together.
