HON. CHARLES SCOTT

The Brandon News III recent
editorial which has been extensive
ly copied over the State charges
that the gentleman whose name
heads this article is disqualified for
the office of governor by reason of
the fact that he once fought duel.
The Brandon News knows or ought
to know that no such disqualified
ton exists, nor can the charges be
Justly and honestly III ged against
one until legally constituted court
and tried and convicted him. But
while the charge has 10 legal sub
stance, it may serve a turn with
the innocents, the gullible vo-
tiers, and this doubtlessly was the
inspiration of it's publication.
The personal encounter which is
now denominated a duel, but for
which no grand jury cognizant of
all the facts notorious at the time,
could on their oaths find an in
dictment, happened long years ago.
Through all the circumstances,
Mr.. Scott bore himself as brave
and honorable gentleman. His
conduct was such as that OF all
men deserving Of honor at the
hands OF his fellowmen should have
been. Nor is it believed that any
considerable number OF Mississip-
plans will be mislead by charge
so flinsv, the motive of which is
so palpable.
The Beacon in previous edi-
torial> has stated at considerable
length Mr.. Scott's claims and quail
ifications for office of governor
A man of large business experience,
a trained lawyer and large and
successful farmer, he combines 10
a peculiar degree the knowled &c,
conservatism, and experience nee
cessary to one dealing with so vast
and varied interests as does the
chief executive of a State. AS to
his personal character and charac-
teristics, it is known OF all men
that he is a most honorable man, a
kindly dignified gentleman, and III
all ways fine example of Missis-
sippi manhood.
And any one who admires these
qualities and virtues may vote
for him without cause to
fear that his vote will
be lost. If Mr.. Scott is nominated,
he will serve as governor, and the
State will have in the gubernato-
rial chair a gentleman qualified
legally and otherwise to give the
State a clean, vigorous and able
administration Macon Beacon.

Letter to PROF. CAMPBELL.

Rosedale, Miss.
Dear Sir: You are teacher:
here's one for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint goes
twice as far as another, how, much
are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth S1.50 to S1.75
a gallon, how much is the other
one worth?
How much is a gallon of paint
worth anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the
paint.
The reason is paint isn't always
paint.
There are true and false paint
and short measure.
How much is a short measure
gallon worth? How much is false
paint worth?
How much is Devoe worth?
Yours truly

An open LETTER
To Charles Scctt From a Citi-
zen Of Central Mississippi.

Dear Sir:-I have just read the
announcement of your candidacy
for the Governorship OF Mississippi.
Having been all humble citizen
of this state for more than half a
century, / think 1 am entitled to
the right and can claim the privi-
lege of expressing an opinion in
regard to public men and measures.
l am more deeply interested in
your announcement than is usual
with me, for the reason, I suppose,
that in all these years of reading
and observation, have never be-
fore come across document which
came up to my ideal of what should
be said and done, by an honest and
manly man, in seeking the suffrags
of she people.
You have absolutely ignored every
factional alliance, and stepped out
OH the platform of personal merit.
In doing so you have struck from
your arena every phase of debase-
ment in our politics, which the
we'll informed, know have been
groveling in the dust.
Thinking over your announce
ment, ! can only account for its
concise, and yet lucid character, i'll
one way, and thst is. it must have
originated in an honest purpose and
been guided by high ideals of what
should constitute fitness for public
official life.
Truth is consistent and manifest
itself in the fact that it always
holds together in all parts. Your
paper is a unit of intergral parts, and
yet is as harmonious as it is com-
prehensive. 1t covers the whole
ground of what the people need to
know about a public man, as it
gives them something to think
about and act upon.
Its frankness and consistency is
to, my mind an illustration of all in
spired saying that out of the heart,
the mouth Speaketh. you, Lear
Sir, have opened you mouth wisely,
and the people, l think, are in
listening attitude.
/ trust there soon may be gen
uine revival of honesty and decen-
cy in the political arena of our state.
You, Mr.. Scott, have struck the
keynote of what is right in princi-
pie, and decent in practice, and it
is hoped that in due time a tidal
wave of responsive approval will
come rolling back from the length
and breadth Of our commonwealth,
with a vehement So mote it be. =
I know who you are, and yet we
are entire strangers to each other,
l have noax to grind, and if | had,
/ would go in some other di-
rection than to Rosedale.
The writer simply expresses the
thoughts and feelings of a man
who desires the welfare of the
State and loves honest and decent
politics. cs.-SENEx, i'll The Canton

HON. CHARLES SCOTT OF BOLIVAR.

HON. CHARLES SCOTT OF BOLIVAR.
LOYALTY to the man of ones choice in
wolves no disparagement of Others; and
so. in advocating the election ot Mr.
Scott to the office of governor OF this
state we draw no invidious comparison,
contrast between him and the other gen
tlemen who have placed their names be-
lore the public. And this shall be our
course in the campaign. which may be
said to have begun. .Iorthe dignity OF the
office demands iair and honorable meth
ods of discussion as it should demand
fair and honorable men whose claims,
based upon una ues toned civic virtue
and ability rather than upon misg uided
generosity of factonal feeling. should
appeal to the sober second thought and
not to mere sentiment or prejudice. And
in adopting this course,w we do but reflect
the frank and open methods congenal
to our caudidate-nethods that have
ever been the dominant features of his
conduct whether in private or public
life. as he capable? is he honest?" are
the only touchston.s which reveal the
fitness of any aspirant to public ofiicc,

LITTER FROM JUDGE WOODS.

Meridian, Miss, April 2, 1906.
Mr.. Alex Powe,
Waynesboro, Miss.
MysDear Sir:
The Hon. Chas. Scott, OF Rose
dale is candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor at
the next election, and l am pro-
foundly interested in his success;
for if Mr.. Scott shall secure the
nomination (Which will be equiva-
lent to an election) the state will
indeed have a governor of whom
every man may we'll be proud.
He is one of the foremost lawyers
of the state, an eminently success
full business man and gentleman
above reproach. l know him well
personally and I know his past life
thoroughly and thus knowing the
man and his life, l know he VIII
execute the duties OF this hlgh
Office, should he be made governor,
with scrupulus fidelity to the best
interests of all the people. MI
Scott has never been an office seeker
nor an Office holder and OF course
never seeming politician, and yet
he is easily one of the most prom
inent men in the state. His hap
py pre-eminence is owing solely to
his great ability, to his stainless
honor and answering adherence
to duty and to truth in every act
of his life.
These are words of high praise
but they truthfully express my un-
biased judgment of this very re-
markable man. If you can see
your way clear to give Mr.. Scott
your support, as hope you may,
be sure you will never regret it.
Yours sincerely.

B. & .. May Increase Divi-
dends.

Rumors were current last week
that the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road would raise the dividend on
it's common stock. The stock was
put on a 3 per cent. basis about a
year ago. Only few weeks ago,
when the first payment on the new
issue of S27, 100, 900 of common
stock was made, the stock was
selling in the market around LOG.
Last week it sold above l13. The
earnings for the 10 months OF the
fiscal year ended April 30 were
equal to over II per cent. on the
stock. Dividends are usually de.
clared in September.
The increase in gross earnings
for the first 10 months was g.,
900, 491, or 14.12 per cent. The
operating expenses increased u,
0O1, 649, or 1888 per cent, while
the increase in net was %, 9lS, Sl2,
or oops per cent.
The earnings for the entire fiscal
year of 1905 were only about %,
6S7, 1888 more than in the 10 months
thus far reported.
