CITIZEN SPEAKS IN BEHALF OF
CHARLES SCOTT.

Editor Herald:
Inasmuch as the campaign for Gov
ernor is well under headway and the re-
spective candidates are being discussed
pro and con, | desire to here and now
pledge my support to that grand man
and worthy citizen-Hon. Charles Scott
for whom l expect to vote and to
whom | look for permanent benefit to
the State.
| shall favor him because in so doing
favor gentleman who is abreast OF
the advancing times, with mind fresh
and plastic and full panoplied for com
ing struggles-a gentleman who will
carry with him into his office the weight
of his convictions, fresh sympathy for
new woes, unfailing vigor for new con-
tests, wealth of energy, superabun-
dance of mental power
| shall favor him because in so doing
favor a gentleman who is the advocate
of measures that will bring d prosper
ity that is lasting and permanent-a
prosperity that will come, not to the
pampered sons of wealth alone, but as
well to those hardy freemen whose sun
Drowned hands have never touched
polluted dollar, and who, returning with
the evenings sun from places of honest
toll, find in the clinging vine and bios
soming rose the fragrance of happy
home-a prosperity that will have its
origin and birth with the tillers of the
soil. whose success or failure determines
the success or failure of every avenue
of business activity. The banker or the
manufacturer as he sits in his office and
clips coupons by the thousands, turns
his eye with hope to the corn fields, the
cotton fields, and the wheat fields for an
increase OF wealth. The farmer is the
founder and retainer of national life
and director of the nations purest
thought, the instigator of the nations
best achievements, the purifier OF ma
| tional life; therefore, any measure that
affects for good the farmer affects to
Just that extent every avenue and mart
of trade. The rich man as he goes to
his office in the early morning catches
up the song of hope from the farmers
son, holds it in his heart for awhile.
then passes it in every path OF human
endeavor
The farmers daughter awakens in the
morning with song in her heart, ana
the morning breezes watt 1t to every
home in the land, and every woman, no
matter whether living in the gi,ded man
sion or the hovel of poverty, catch up
the refrain and rejoice with her, till the
whole country vibrates and reverberates
with the glad song that had its birth IN
pure minds amid pure surroundings out
on the farm.
Mr.. Scott is the advocate of measures
that will affect for good the welfare OF
the farmer, Gnd that is indeed the
crowning feature of his endeavors for
the good of his State. Though he spent
a lifetime in eager search for some way
in which to benefit his race, he could lind
no higher or nobler way than TO be
means of having legislation adopted for
the permanent good of the farmer.
| hope to see him elected, and | expect
to do all can for him and respectfully
ask the farmers to vote for him and be
benefited and through themselves beneht
the State and nation.

Mr.. j. NJ. McBroom:

Mr.. j. NJ. McBroom
Dear Sir-I saw your letter in
last week Commercial Appeal,
and it was like hearing from old
friends.
You speak truly when you say
that Mr.. Scott is the friend of the
stranger. | have known that for
long time. | know that you will
remember me when l tell you that
| lived in the little blue house next
to you and worked at the mill for
Mr.. Stalls, and afterwards night
watched at the lumber yard. Ii
you remember, my boy was en-
ployed as messenger boy when Mr..
Davis was agent at Rosedale and
Mr.. Scott never lost an opportu-
nifty to do my boy a favor He
also took him out on the river on
an excursion with his family, and
he, l guess, was as poor boy as
there was in Rosedale. If l lived
in Mississippi l would vote for Mr..
Scott.
Well, Mr.. McBroom, I hope
yourself and family are doing well.
We are doing very well. We have
nice little farm and make good
crops. 1t is very healthy where we
are. The old lady says she wants
you to give our best respects to
Mrs. Mathews. l also want you
to write to me and let me know if
the Ward Lumber Co. s mill is run
ming yet, and if Mr. Stalls is there
yet.
l want to see some more of your
letters in the Commercial Appeal,

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.

Rosedale, Miss, May %, 1906.
Editor Bolivar County Democrat ::
Dear Sir-There are some people
who still try to get votes against
Mr.. Scott by claiming that he is a
rich man, who does not have any
sympathy for poor people. | wrote
letter denying this to the Com
mercial Appeal. Since it was pub
lished l have received a letter from
Mr.. James Mcdonald, who once
lived here, about Mr.. Scott. l
hand you the letter, and if you are
willing to do so | would be glad if
you would publish it in your pa
per. Yours truly,
j. Nj. McBROOM.

THE SCOTT EXHIBIT AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.

All Missisippians were proud OF
the splendid showing made by this
State at the st. Louis Fair. 1t is
not so well known, however, that
our public-spirited citizen and rep
resentative planter and agricultur-
list, Mr.. Charles Scott, contributed
SO largely to this magnificent exhlb-
it. The Hon. Il. II. Henry, com
missioner from this State, wrote
Mr.. Scott a letter of thanks, stat
ing that his exhibit exceeded IN
volume and value that of any other
single person, firm, corporation,
city or county, in the State.
The Galveston and Dallas papers
were loud in praising the public
spirit of Texas planter who sent
one bale of cotton to the fair
wrapped in silk. When Missls-
sippi showed up with t,celre bales
in fine silk, with gilt ties and gilt
lettering, the Texas editors were
simply paralyzed and had nothing
more to say These twelve bales
were arranged ia four tiers of three
bales each; two tiers representing
the Confederate colors-red, white
and red-and the other tier the ma
tional colors-red, white and blue.
They were surrounded at all times
by large crowd of admirers and it
is admitted by all who are properly
informed on the subject that this
handsome and costly exhibit Sc
cured for Mississippi the Grand
Cotton Prize over all the States
and countries of the world.
In addition to the cotton, Mr..
Scott s exhibit included other agri-
cultural products, works of art and
a large and costly exhibit of tim
ber common to this part of the
State. He was one of the two agri-
culturist exhibitors who received
two gold medals, one for the best
cotton exhibit and the other for the
best Bermuda hay. The total ex-
hibit cost Mr.. Scott $1,313.52.
Those who are well acquainted with
the farmers and agriculturists of
Mississippi are not surprised that
q representative of that class
should possess so much public
spirit and State pride, but it is an
additional evidence of the type Of
man who now aspires for the first
time in his life to political office.
Eminently qualified for this lofty
position by his great executive abil-
ity, his legal talents and require
ments, his long and varied expert
ence as business man and his un-
swerving integrity, and closely
identified with the farming interest
of the State, we can easily under
stand why his candidacy has ap-
pealed to voters in all parts of the
State and his election is assured by
n overwhelming majority.

SCOTT CLUB ORGANIZED.

A recent dispatch from Port Gibson
SAYS: There was organized here today
by supporters of the Hon. Charles Scott
a Scott club, some 500 names enrolled,
and by night the 1000 mark will be
touched. The object of the club is to
work for the interest of Charles Scott
for our next Governor. Mr.. Scott will
no doubt carry Claiborne in walk, as
every indication so far points that way.

THE MUD-SLINGER.

The mud-slinger is abroad in the
land. There is not day passes
but some outrageous canard or de-
liberate falsehood is somewhere
circulated and false charges are be-
ing constantly made against Mr..
Scott by some irresponsible politl-
cal enemy. We are positive that
no one of Mr.. Scott s honorable
opponents would countenance or
tolerate such methods. but never
theless, and we feel certain contrary
to their wishes, a great deal Of
mud-slinging is now being IN
dulged in. 1t is a deplorable fact
that such is the case. because 1t
takes away from the high tone OF
political campaign wherever IN
dulged in.
Mr.. Scott, as he stated he would
in his announcement, has con-
Quoted and will continue to con-
duct his campaign upon high and
honorable plane, and in carrying
out this idea. which is characteris-
! tic of the man. he has requested
the editor of this. his home, paper
to publish nothing derogatory to
his opponents under any state of
circumstances. and he himself, we
are informed, in this campaign,
about the State. avoids mention
ing any one of their names except
upon the public stump, and then
only makes in their absence the
same references to them and their
platforms that he makes in their
presence.
Mr.. Scott was born in Jackson,
Miss. living there until fifteen
years of age. when he went into
the army, remaining the last two
years of the war. As boy-soldier
he so well performed his duty that
his general. Frank c. Armstrong,
says of him: He was boy-soldler
who did the work OF veteran, and
served his State and section from a
sense Of right and principle, ex
pecting no reward except that
which every true soldier and hon
est man feels when he has done
his duty. He comes up to the
highest standard Of a gentleman.
a citizen and an excellent business
man. 5"
The war over. then seventeen. he
found himself perniless, and be-
gan earning a livelihood as an ex
press messenger: then he was night
clerk in a hotel and clerk in a
store, changing his position as he
could better his wages; all of the
time, in his spare moments, study
ing law At twenty-one he was ad-
mitted to the bar, and by indefa-
tigable labor and strict attention
to business, he has made success,
and no man s reputation for hon
esty and integrity of purpose
stands higher than his.
Through very busy life of over
half a century slander has never
touched his name. nor his integrity
been called i2to question, and
among those who know him best
his word is as good as his bond,
and is accepted by all men. 1t Is,
then, to be greatly deplored that
when he seeks the office of governor
of his native State, for the first
time falsehoods and ISLANDERS should
be circulated about him, in an at
tempt to belittle the high character
which he has earned by lifetime
of clean and correct living. We
believe that the people of Mlssls-
sippi are not to be fooled by any
such canards, and that they will be
on their guard, now and in the
future, against all who bear false
witness against their neighbors.
Such mud-slinging tactics can but
result detrimentally to all who

If there is one man in the governors
race that the farmer and laboring man
can support with all the enthusiasm
of his soul. that man is Charles Scott.
Mr.. Scott is farmer; he knows that
Mississippi is an agricultural State, and
whatever can be done to advance the
interests of the State along that line
will be done when he is governor.-The
North Mississippi Herald.

No candidate for Governor has had
more cause for qualification than has
Charlie Scott. The votes against him
in the delta are SO few that they cannon
be taken into account, and every county
in the State boasts positive and de-
cisive support of Scott. The average
voter regards it a privilege and duty 10

word in political. personal or busi-
ness matters, as they would on the
bond of many men. The prompt
action taken by yourself and your
wife in paying in full, at a per
sonal loss of more than 100000
all the depositors of the Bank OF
Rosedale, when you were neither
legally nor morally bound for their
deposits. was a noble and most un-
usual act. We who know some.
thing of your financial condition
at that time know that you and
Mrs. Scott mortgaged your prop
erty and that you worked late
every night in your office through
out the summer. as well as at all
other times, to get the money to dt
this. And we also know that the
poor people, white and black, who
had their money in the bank were
saved from distress by your efforts,
and that you paid them first be-
cause they We're in the greatest
need. 1t is such acts as this, Mr..
Scott, that have helped to win you
the confidence and esteem of your
| fellow citizens. and we. who know
you best, fully realize that your
services would be of great benefit
to the public, and have hoped for
some years to see you IN the Unit
ed States Senate. Since You have
determined not to be a candidate
for that position. we are gratltied
that You have offered for the Gov
ernorship at great pecuniary sac
rifice, which is further evidence of
your patriotic and public spirit.
Knowing that you will make an
ideal Governor. in whom the whole
State will take pride, we write you
this open letter to tender you our
active support and to say that so
far as we know and believe. you
will get the support Of the anti
Scott party.
We take the liberty of having
this letter published in the Bolivar
County Democrat. and will send
YOU copy of it, with the request
that you call on each and all Of
US, without reserve, during the
campaign, for any service we can
render in behalf of your candidacy.
