Very True

II candidate for State office

there he must use the newspa-
pers, and in no other way can he
accomplish this as comp etely,
favorably, or at such small cost.
The circular letter plan which
has been adopted by some of
them is much more expenive and
imrresses the voter as slightly as
any plan that could be thought
of, But each candidate prose-
cutes his campaign in the way
that seemeth best to himself, and
il he makes a bad investment of
his campaign funds and finds it
out after it is too late, he can, at

ARE MIXING
THE STAPLE
Many Farmers Made a Very
Serious Mistake.

From all parts of the state
come complaints from cotton
buyers of mixed staple, and this
is attributed as the chief cause of
unsatisfactory prices being Of
fered for the product.
The farmers, ii seems, do not
realize that fifty or one hundred
pounds of cotton damaged dur
ing the storm of thirty days ago
mixed with cotton of fair quality
will cause the bale to be cIassed
below middling, and they con-
tinue to mix the pickings in spite
of the low grading when their
crop is offered on the market.
Storm damaged cotton has
been selling from ten to forty
per cent below cotton that has
matured since the damage peri
cd, and a separation of the two
grades will save the farmers
many thousands of dollars in
every county.
These complaints are coming
not only from the hill counties,
but the delta as well. Much of
The delta crop thus far offered on
he market has been of mixed |
quality, and the planters are
paying more attention to getting
out the quantity than having it |
ginned in proper classification.

lncendiary Fire thursday
Morning.

About 1880 Thursday morn
ing fire was discovered in a two
room servants house on the lot
of Capt. 7. G. Munger and be
fore the department was notified
the flames had gained such
headway that but little could be
done after arriving except to put
out the blaze on the residence,
which was very near. Besides
the damage to the residence and
the destruction of the servants
house another out house was de-
stroyed. The loss on the latter
two was about S400 without any
insurance and the loss on the
residence was abouts S1G0, fully
covered by insurance. If the
department had been notified in
time there would have been very
little or no damage, but for some
reason it took several efforts to
get the telephone exchang there
by causing the delay.
Capt. Munger stated to THE
COMMERCIAL that he had no idea
how the fire originated as the
house was not occupied and was
used only for storing coal and
wood; and from this it looked
very much like it was the work
of incendiary.

TRIBUTE PAID
To MR.. DAVIS
Splendid EuIOgy By Bishop
Theodore BTattOn.
A Jackson special says:

n y JdChSOii Specldl says.
A notable address was deliver
ed by Bishop Bratton, of tn
Episcopal diocese of Mississippi
at Biloxi last Saturday when tn,
memorial windows erected by th,
late Mrs. Jefferson Davis in hon
or of her husband and Miss Win
ME Davis were unveiled.
No man in the country is i'm.
bued with truer south ern spiri
than Bishop Bratton, and in
speaking of Mr.. Davis he PAID
the following tribute:
81 remember some years ago
when the great president of the
Confederacy died that my own
dear father, who wore the gray
along with him, gravely said to
me, My son, | want to impress
upon you the lesson of the late
presidents life. He was the
greatest of them all. He was tn e
greatest because he himself oc-
cupied position which could
neve give him the blessed fruits
of the glory either of the soldier
or the statesman life, but rath
er in a position which would
make him the scapegoat who
would bear the brunt of all
the failures and of all the mis-
takes of which the Confederacy
might be guilty. He it was who
bore our sins. If a mistake was
made, it was charged to him, and
when the end came all the sin,
as it was deemed to be, was plac-
ed upon his shoulder and he was
made to bear the brunt. The
hardest thing to bear in this
world is sin, and the president
lad to bear i: as no man can
possibly have realized.
81 have spoken of this because
have it in mind to speak of the
wonderful patience and fortitude
If the presidents wife through
t all. [ have a fancy, my dear
friends, that our wives suffer
more when we suffer than we do,
md that in all of Mr.. Davis suf-
erings that his wife must have
)orne quite as much if not more
han he and must have felt more
Ieenly and more deeply all that
Ter husband had to bear. Ger
ainly during all the time of those
great four years of struggle no
me was more faithful than she
o her husband. You and | have
leard the story. We have had
bnecdote after anecdote poured
nto our ears of Mrs. Davis de-
rotion during those days.
leed not repeat any of them.
1Ley are household words with
ls. And when the end came
md the husband was prisoner
nd the wife must bear it, all
vas borne with great fortitude,
he fortitude of strong, coura-
,eous and loving heart. :"
Bishop Bratton then spoke Of
he great assistance Mrs. Davis

literary work and in the preser-
ration of those records of the
which would other
wise have been lost, and lastly
If her work in writing the life of

Concluding he said, "Blessed,
hrice blessed be those women
Who are faithful to man. What
more is needed, what higher trib-
lte will any woman covet than
hat she is faithful in life to man,
aithful both in life and death to
