The Bolivar County Democrat., 1906-09-22

nounccd. He is receiving some highly
culogistic notices, and deservedly 50.
That he is the strongest, most able and
best fitted for the office of any of the
candidates that are out, few who are
familiar with the man will doubt
Newton Record.
The Greenwood Enterprise observes
that no other candidate for office in
Mississippi has received more unanimous
support from the State press than has
Hon. Charles Scott in his aspiration to
the governorship. Ninety per cent. of
the newspapers of the State stand COM
mitted to his support.-The Columbian.
So far, we have seen but one definite
announcement for Governor for next
year, that of Hon. Charles Scott, of
Rosedale, Bolivar County. Mr.. Scott is
one of the most prominent lawyers in
the State and one of the delta's most
prosperous farmers, and SO far as we
have been able to learn is good man.
Headblock, P. E. Williams, Editor.
There is no doubt about Hon. Chas.
Scott's popularity throughout the State.
At every place he has visited, according
to the papers, he has received ovations.
Mr.. Scott is very excellent gentleman,
and should he be elected, we believe he
would make us splendid governor
Friars Point Coahomian.
It seems from the tone of the papers
of the State, Charles Scott of Rosedale
is the most popular man who has so
far been mentioned for governor. But
there are others to come to the front,
and the campaign has hardly begun.
That Mr.. Scott would make good gov
ernor and a safe one there is not the
least doubt, and it will take very
strong man to beat him.-Gulfport
News.
The Franklin County Advocate, of
Meadville, says: "The Natchez Democrat
pushes all good things to the front, and
with reference to Johnston's tribute to
Chas. Scott, says:
"'When men OF such high standing as
former Attorney General Frank john
ston, of jackson, pay public tribute to
a man that man need not enter plea
to be saved from his friends.'"
The press of the State are saying
manv good things about the Hon. Charles
Scott, of Bolivar County, who has an
nounced his candidacy for Governor. But
no man who knows Mr.. Scott could, in
speaking or writing of him, refer to him
except only in the highest terms, for his
life as a soldier, official and citizen, las
been marked throughout by noble acts
and deeds that have placed him proml-
nently before his people in the race he
has lust started.-The Greenville Times.
Hon. Charles Scott, of Rosedale, Boil
var County, is so far the only candl,
date for Governor who has made formal
announcement of the fact. Those who
know Mr.. Scott speak very highly OF
him as a gentleman and as one who
would make a splendid chief executive.
While we do not know him, personally,
we are led to believe that he will be
strong candidate.-The Free Press, Pop
larville.
The friends of the Hon. Charles Scott,
which includes all who know him per-
sonallv or by reputation, have ample
cause for qualification in the almost
unanimous Endorsement with which his
candidacy is meeting. 1t is an unusual
honor that an aspirant for office should
have practically won his race with no
effort beyond his announcement. Inc
noint most in Mr.. Scott's favor is that
his whole previous career canvasses lot
him. and every incident of it appeals
to public sympathy and argues MS
fitness for the position to which he as
pires.-Vicksburg American.
eff the State press, taken as body,
is any index to the sentiment existing
throughout Mississippi, and it usually
is then there is not the least doubt that
Hon. Chas. Scott, of Rosedale, is several
strides ahead of any of the announced
candidates for gubernatorial honors. IL
has never been the writer's privilege to
meet Mr.. Scott personally, but from all
we have ever heard of him we conclude
that he is one of the ablest and brainest
men the State has. and that none are
better qualified as to purity OF Pol.ics,
of character and of higher standard OF
craftsmanship, and should he be grati-
fed in his aspiration, none wouio wear
the honors more nobly nor with more
credit to the State.-Euporia Progress
Since the announcement OF Hon
Charles Scott, for Governor, aspirants
are sprinping up all over the State and
tbe chances are that these top-wateI
politicians will be as numerous as flies
in having time There are two or three
men in the State whose ability and popu
Iarity will command respectable show
mo before whom this crowd OF trallers
viii vanish like frost would before q
Julv sun and the ablest as well as the
stronoest of them all is Hon. Charles
Scott of Rosedale. He will sweep the
Delta with the enthusiasm OF a MO
BANNED and his strength here is but IN
d;cative of what it will be in the MI
counties when they come to know mn
as our people do.-Suniower Iocsih' LII
