Appointment of Circuit Judge.

The resignation of Judge D. M. Mil
1er of the seventh judicial district, is
expected to reach the governors office
next week or Immediately after the ad
iournment of the Copiah county circuit
court term at Havenhurst, over which
he is now presiding, and Governor Var
daman will, without delay, name Hon.
Wiley H. Potter, of the Jackson bar, as
his successor.
A very pretty fight is on for the cir
cult judgeship of the sixth judicial dis
trict, now held by Hon. NJ. H. Wilkin-
son, of Woodville. Some time since
it was stated that this place had been
virtually promised to E. E. Brown OF
Nat5hez, member of the legislature,
and intimate friend Of the governor, but
it seems that. the members of the bar OF
the district are not unanimous on the
subject of a change, and Judge Wilkin-
son has been strongly endorsed in several
counties for re-appointment.
There has been no change in the out
look in the third district where the tern
of Judge J. B. Booth will soon expire,
The place has been promised to Hon
w. A. Roane, and he will be rendered
the appointment without opposition.

THEY PRACTICE TO DECEIVE.
Gulfport Review.

Gulfport Review.
If there has been one fact in connec-
ton with the supporters of Williams in
the race for Senator, patent to the most
unobservant and careless, it has been
the lack of candor, and the plain pur-
pose to misrepresent and deceive with
the false hope of gaining some adyant-
age. They have had to, perforce, real
ize that the record of Vardaman was
invulnerable; that his policies, as in
the interest of the masses, were in line
with the sentiments of the people, and
they have sought, by all kinds Of per-
versions, to mislead and blind as to real
facts. Some weeks ago the venerable
statesman, DIR. B. F. Ward, of Winona,
gave to the public an able letter upon
the political situation under the caption,
s'The Man of the Hour. Mr.. Williams
and his supporters took much umbrage
at this communication, and the Con-
gresham, with the egotism that has
marked his course of late, sought to call
down DR.. Ward in somewhat vitriolic
wall, charging that the Doctors letter
was in the interest of Vardaman. To
this DR.. Ward replied more fully, ex-
planning his position: In that reply he
stated he did not know whether Varda-
man was the man of the hour or not.
Upon this the Williams crowd seized as
sweet morsel, and with marked energy
paraded an assertion that Ward had de-
serted his friend Vardaman. That woe
was Vardaman! But thereby hangs a
tale. They forgot to say that DR.. Ward
said he did not know whether Varda-
man was the man of the hour or not, bat
| that he did know that Williams was not.
He was not prepared to say that Varda-
man was the man, but he was positive
that Williams was not. This little fea-
ture of the matter was too Insignificant
for the Williams press to notice, and
thus they pass it by. They practice to
| deceive, but, like the ostrich that hides
its head in the sand, they only are
fooled; the people are thinking fol
themselves and are not to be hoodwinked
by any such puny and unworthy tactics

SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE.

More than one-third of the States now
elect United States Senators by m ethods
not prescribed by the Constitution and
which in greater or less degree result in
elections by direct vote of the people.
Iowa and Washington are the latest to
join the list, which now numbers eight
cen. The Northern and Western States
included in the category are Oregon,
Washington, North Dakota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma,
which soon will be State, unless the
President is induced by the Republican
politicians to reject its constitution.
The new method came very near being
adopted by the Pennsylvania legislature
that has just adjourned. The Southern
States are Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida. Alabama, MISSISSIPPI,
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Ken
lucky; New England and the East gen.
orally are holding out strongly against
the movement, though the pressure is
becoming heavy on the politicians in
those sections TO permit its adoption.

In long editorial enumerating the
good things that John Sharp Williams
has done IN congress the Yazoo Herald
has the following to say:
"But there is one measure that stands
as a monument to his tireless energy
and sagacity, which, if there were no
others would entitle him to receive the
vote of every rural voter in the state of
Mississippi. This is the establishment
by the national government of the rural
free delivery, which makes 1t possible
for every man woman and child in the
country to receive daily at his door his
mail, thus enabling the farmers and
those living remote from the towns to
enjoy the same mail facilities as do
those who live in the towns and cities.
In the same issue of his paper he
spoke sneeringly of Tom Watson be-
cause Mr.. Watson saw proper to write
nice article about Gov. Vardaman. Now
what are facts about rural delivery?
Bro. Mcclure well knows, or ought to
know, that Tom Watson is the "Father
of Rural Delivery" That while he was
in Congress he introduced the first bill
that was ever introduced in Congress
for the establishment of rural delivery,
he secured the appropriation and thus
started the great system which has been
so helpful to the rural population all
over the county. The rural delivery
system was inaugurated by Watson be-
fore John Sharp Williams was even a
member of Congress. Williams has
favored it as matter of course, SO has
Zeke Chandler, Tom Spight, Ben
Humphreys ana four other Mississippi
Congressman and two Senators. The
Sentinel is willing to give Williams
credit for all he has done in Congress,
but if he deserves so much praise for
simply voting for the appropriation
certainly Watson ought to have little
credit for initiating and inaugurating it.
It's all right to tell all the good things
about your candidate, but it is not be-
coming in good man like Bro. Mcclure
to pervert facts in order to mislead the
country people who havn't an opportun-
ity to know all about these matters

TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE.
snop.i. Of To-Nisht'. Play :. the oper. House.

The plot of this very affecting drama
is founded upon the story of dumb
orphan-the little son Of Count Luneda
whose father had fallen a victim to
the avarice of military friend, Colonel
Rigolio, after the latter had lost his
money by betting and gambling. The
murderer escapes justice by giving a
false clue to the officers, who arrest Es-
tevan, the Counts valet, for the murder,
and have him sentenced to the galley S
for life. Estevan eventually escaped
from the galleys. is again accused, but,
on being confronted with the dumb
orphan for Identification as the mur-
derer of his father, the boy joyfully
recognizes in him an old friend, and in
dignantly repudiates the charge against
him.
Martyllo, the dumb orphan, who had
witnessed the murder, escapes the as
sassin's grasp by his heetness of foot,
but not until he had recognized the
features of his fathers assailant, when
the mask which the latter wore hap :
pened to fall from his face. Martyllo
afterward claimed that he could identify
the murderer if ever he caught sight of
him.
Although Colonel Rigolio has for a
time succeeded in baking Justice, he
cannot quiet the accusations of guilty
conscience. Returning from foreign
war, where he had gained some distinc-
tion, he accepts the invitation of a fell
low -officer-the son of the baron in the
play to. visit his fathers residence
near the scene of murder. Here he
shows emotion in seeing portrs it of
his victim. By accident he meets Este
van, the fugitive convict, and buses
the confidence of the innocent victim by
accusing him of the murder of the
Count, but his own guilty conscience
advises him to seek safety in flight.
Heaven seems to oppose him, however;
a storm causes Rigolio to lose his way
in the mountains, and again-after as
suring himself of the death of Martyllo,
whom he throws from precipico-he is
confronted by Estevan, Martyllo and
the officers of justice at the castle,
whittier the officers had hurried to arrest
Estevan. The dump orphan, on seeing
his fathers real murderer, recognizes
him at once, regains his speech in the
excitement Of the moment, and denoun-
ces Rigolio as the guilty wretch.

PASS CHRISTIAN MUST PAY.
Against Trolley Line, Employed Lawyers Now
Wants Line, Must Pay Lawyers all the
Same.

An interesting case was decided Mon
day by Judge Hardy at Gulfport in the
case of Barker 8: Mize vs.. Parker and
McCrathety for the town of Pass Chris
tian. Some months ago when the Gulf
port and Mississippi Coast Traction
company contemplated building the
beach trolley line into Pass Christian,
the historic old town was violently OPP
posed to the measure. AS the construc
ton gangs approached nearer and nearer
to the boundary lines with the road
work the citizens became alarmed lest
the greedy corporation should come into
their midst whether or no and employed
the law firm of Barker &c Mize to fight
the road in their behalf. The traction
company, however, refused to fight and
when the road had reached a designated
point the entire force was put at work
on the Twenty fifth avenue line, leaving
Pass Christian severely alone to reflect
on the greater advantages enjoyed by
the other coast towns and it gradually
came to realization that the trolley line
was wanted after all. So everything
was coming around beautifully and the
town and the road were just beginning
to get together when the former received
rude jolt in the form of a bill for $1,000
from the attorneys whose services had
been retained. AS the case had never
come before the courts the bill was pro-
tested, but yesterday the court ruled
that lawyers fee was legally con-
tracted debt and should be paid, allow
ing the attorneys judgment in the sum
of $3.50.

Superintendent Marshall of the L. &

morning by John Carraway, and state d
that in compliance with the request
made by him some ago as secretary of
of the commercial club the cars on the
coast trains would shortly be screened. |.
The obtaining OF screens on the coast
trains is a consummation which the
Commercial Club can congratulate itself
on having been able to bring about.
Everyone who has ever travelled between
here and New Orleans in the summer
time knows what terrible pest the
mosquitoes in the swamp are whenever
the trains stop, which isquite frequently,
and the screens will aid very much to
the comfort of the trip.

In a long editorial enumerating the

has done IN congress the Yazoo Herald

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1907-08-22
Death of rlrs. II. NJ. EaveS.

Mrs. Margaret Matheson Eaves di-
ed at her home in this city last Sun
day afternoon, after an illness of
several months, which was caused by
a stroke of paralysis. She had been
very ill for several weeks, and while
it was known that she could not long
survive, still her death came as a
shock to the entire community.
Mrs. Eaves was the widow of the
late A. V. Eaves, who died here about
1897, he being one of the towns
prominent citizens and well and ia
vorably known in this and Barnwell
counties. She was born in Marlboro
county, where her father, Mr.. Don
aid Matheson, was known as one of
the best and purest citizens of the
Pee Dee country. Mrs. Eaves was
sixty-fve years old; she was sister
of Mr.. A. J. Matheson, of BENEFITS
vile, and has many other relatives
throughout the State. She leaves the
following sons and daughters: Maj.
Havelock Eaves, D. M. Eaves, of
Bamberg, and A. j. Eaves, of Pitts
burg. Mrs. E. D. Raney, of Beaufort,
Mrs. Decania Bowling and Miss Mary
Ellen Eaves, of Bamberg.
The funeral services took place at
the Presbyterian church Monday af-
ternoon, and the interment was at
Restland Cemetery. The services
1uere conducted by her pastor, DR.. ]
VIM. Finn, he being assisted by Rev.
H. R. Murchison, of Bishopville, a
former pastor here. There was a
large gathering present, both at the
church and cemetery, many coming
from a distance to pay a last tribute
of respect to her who was loved and
held in high esteem by all who knew
her.
Mrs. Eaves was an earnest, faithful
Christian. She loved her church,
and as long as her strength permitted
she was a Jealous worker in charita-
BILE and church affairs. It was through
the generosity of her late husband
and herself that the Presbyterian
church was built here.
