CORRECTING THE
GAMBLING EVIL

The start made by Marshall Heb
ron and his police force to suppress
gambling in this city last Saturday
night was a good one as the Mayors
court showed Monday morning, when
some = or II young men of the city
were brought before His Honor and
fined S. and costs There was only
one kick coming that we heard on the
outside after the boys went Up and
paid their fines and that was, that
now since the police department
raided this room they should rajo
ey cry room in the city where they
expected gambling going on. In this
VIC think the boys are right for every
man, rich or poor, high or low, looks
the same in the eyes of the law, and
the one who breaks it can expect to
be punished.
No officer, who takes the oath of
his office, and does his duty can ar
rest one man for a crime and allow
another to go unpublished who he
sees or knows to commit the same
as Brutus once said when
he punished his son, Justice is Jus
tice if the heavens fall.

The young men who receive pro-
motions are the men who do not
drink on the sly. They are not the
men who watch for the clock to
strike twelve and leave their picks
hanging in the air. They are not
the men who growl if they are re-
CURED to attend to duty after the
whistle has sounded. They are the
men who usually pay the closest at
tention to business, who usually act
as If they were trying to work for
their employers interest, instead of
to beat him at every crook and turn.
They are the men who give the clos
est attention to business land look
continually to see whether they can
do better or not. This class of men
are never out of a job. They arc
scarce. They never loaf, and they
do not ask for their pay two or three

ELOQUENT APPEAL
FOR SOBRIETY
Editor 10 Norwood Demands /
Hight Standard.

There was a time when MISSISSIPPI
plans tolerated drunkards in high
official position, and not only did
they do that without complaint, but
they voted to re-e1ect them. But
that time has passed, we trust, never
to return
An entirely different sentiment now
prevails among the people-the COM
mon, everyday sort of people-who
do the voting as he sober?" is one
of the first of the questions they ash
about every candidate, and if answer
ed in the negative, they tell you
frankly that they do not care to hear
anything more about him. There are
hundreds of Democrats whom we
could call by name, who have always
been true TO their party, who would
cast their vote for their very worst
political enemy if he be a sober man
"a total abstainer-before they
would give it to the most brilliant
man of their own party, if he was a
habitual, or even an occasional, drunk
ard
Observation and experience have
taught them that man who uses in
toxlcating liquors as a beverage Is
unfit TO attend to public business. If
he drinks to excess he IS, or soon will
be, incapable of successfully manag-
ing his own private affairs Abund-
ant proof IS not lacking to show the
correctness OF these views. Almost
every town and hamlet III the county
can furnish an example.
The newspapers are printing many
choice things about their favorites in
the Democratic campaign now in
progress in Mississippi All that has
been written may be true as Holy
Writ, but the writers whose partiality
has Induced them to herald abroad
the qualities of their favorites, must
bear to be told that if they cannot
truthfully say the man of their choice
IS sober, they have not shown that
he is capable of filing the office he
seeks.
LET the editor and correspondents
begin the first line of their common
dation with the words:
He is sober, and then proceed to
tell us that he is honest. he is capa-
Bile, he is true to the constitution.
The people want no drunkards to

BEAUTIFYING
MAIN STREET.

The property owners along both
sides of Main street are still painting
Last week the finishing touches were
put on the large two-story brick
building of J. p Greenley's and this
week the paint brush is at work on
the Hamblen building occupied by
the Delta Drug Co.
Now, if our New Orleans friends
will spend couple of tens on their
fronts, Main street will catch the eye
of every visitor that walks it on his
way from the Southern depot to the
hotel. We understand that on the
strength of fresh paint monthly rents
have advanced from five to ten dol
lars on Main street property. And

A MERCHANTS
CARNIVAL.

There is no city in the Delta that
can sell goods cheaper than Green
vile. There is no city in the Delta
that can arrange for a week of pleas
ure and enjoyment for those who Wis
it it more successfully than Green
vile Then would it not be we'll for
US to set a week about Nov I for
big Gala and Trade Week. Our
reason for suggesting this date is.
the people will all have money, the
Southern Ry. will have on their local
train between here and Itta Bena;
the weather will be delightful; the
merchants will have in all of their
winter and Christmas goods; and the
like affairs in other neighboring cities
will be over There is another rea-
son for setting it this far away, it will
give the city time to advertise it
well.
AS to attractions we would suggest
that one day be set apart Tor the
candidates for Governor to- address,
the people, another for the State can
didates to do, the same Then SIsal
we would consider a strong DRAWN z
card and what few other cities could
have would be steamboat, skif and
motor boat racing on the Mississippi
river. Another day could be devoted
to an old fddlers contest or some
thing along that line.
If Bryan could come to Greenvifle

In the United States gambling has
wrecked the fortunes and homes of
many prominent family. Forgering

their losses, only to be finally caught

come the hurt to the many who de-

fallen and bankrupted institutions.

powerful arm of the law is made to

JAMES g. SPENCER

Fox Insurance Commissioner

Last week we received the author
ny to announce the candidacy of Mr..
James G. Spencer, of Port Gibson, as
a candidate for Insurance Commits
sioner, subject to the action of the
voters in the Democratic primary.
The authority came too late to make
any notice of Mr.. Spencer, and this
week we give the gentleman full re-
Cognition.
Mr. Spencer is at present an in
surance agent at Port Gibson and his
association in this business for a
number of years has made him famil-
lar with all the duties and details of
this important office. By all who
know him he is said to be a practical
business man and he will no doubt
receive a large share of the State
voters support.
