very popular man where known,
and has knack of winning friends
hand running wheresoever he cir
culates.-Greene County Herald.
Hon. Chas. Scott, of Rosedale,
Bolivar county, has announced as a
candidate for Governor at the next
gubernatorial election. We have
no personal acquaintance with Mr..
Scott, but those who know him
we'll, speak in the highest praise of
him. 1t goes without saying that
Mr.. Scott will be formidable cam
didate before the people. He is a
large planter in the Delta and has
made farming a great success.

The entrance of the Hon. Chas.
Scott, of Bolivar county, into the
gubernatorial candidacy adds an in
terest to the forthcoming State
campaign that is as irresistible as
universal. Mr.. Scott is gentlemen
who the Challenge believes would
grace the high office of Chief Execu-
tive of Mississippi. From one who
loves her native State higher ex-
preston of his fitness for the Office
could scarcely emenate.-Clarks-
dale Challenge.
The gubernatorial campaign
promises to be lively, so far as num-
bers are concerned. The recent
advent of Hon. Chas. Scott into the
contest will put good many of the
contestants to scratching their
heads. Mr.. SCOTS personal ac-
quaintance may not be so wide as
some of the other aspirants. it is
true, but he is a man of wide ex-
perience in governmental affairs
and is we'll known as having taken
a prominent part in the Southern
Cotton Association, a fact which
prosperity blessed Mississippians
cannot soon forget.-The Smith
County Reformer.
In a letter to The News Hon.
Chas. Scott, of Rosedale, announces
that he will be candidate for Gov
ernor at the next election. Mr..
Scott is one of the largest planters
in the State, and man OF great
wealth. He has never been can
didate for office before, but has had
much to do with shopping the politi-
cal career of many of our biggest
statesmen, so the game is not new
to him. There is 10 doubt that
Mr.. Scott will cut leading figure
in the coming gubernatortal con-
test.-Ocean Springs News.
On Monday Hon. Chas. Scott, of
Bolivar county, announced that he
will be a candidate for Governor
before the people of Mississippi in
the next State primary election of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Scott
states further that every moment of
his time is now occupied in attend
ing to his professional duties and
in getting his large planting inter
ests in shape for another year, but
he will arrange his private affairs
in due season with a view of max
ing a thorough and close canvass
of the whole State, but would not
think of entering the field for many
months to come, as the primary
election is more than a year and a
half of. South Mississippian.
Since the announcement OF Hon.
Chas. Scott for Governor, aspirants
are springing up all over the State
and the chances are that these top
water politicians will be as numer-
Gus as flies in haying time. There
are two or three men in the State
whose ability and popularity will
command respectable showing,
before whom this crowd of trailers
will vanish like frost would before
a July sun, and the ablest as well
as the strongest of them all is Hon.
Chas. Scott, of Rosedale. He will
sweep the Delta with the enthusiasm
of a Mohammed, and his strength
here is but indicative of what it will
be in the hill counties when they
come to know him as our people
do.-Indianola Tocsin.
Hon. Chas. Scott, of Rosedale,
made a ten strike when he an
rounced his candidacy for Gov
ernor. He is one of the most
earnest workers for the Mississippi
river interests that we have in the
State, in fact, we might say along
the river. He is a big cotton
planter and served the State most
nobly when he prepared cotton
exhibit for the St. Louis World S
Fair. This exhibit won the admir-
alton of every visitor to the Fair
and some went out of their way for
the sole purpose of seeing the dis
play. 1t represented Cotton as
King with beautiful crown on
the Kin's head. and it won first
prize. For this Mr.. Scott deserves
much credit. He would make a
splendid Governor, and being a
man of finest traits, would lend an
