Gentlemen and Friends:
!, 3 note with pleasure your ac.
,tivity in behalf OF the candidadcy
OF Charles Scott tor governor,
my li%te>long friend, and while
the frightening shadows OF life's
evening and my growing physi
cal infirmities exclude me from all
activities, | feel prompted, by
my love for the old state and dc
votion to my old friend, to say
through you in this form at least
a word in his behalf TO old
friends and comrades in arms:
| have known Charlie Scott a
great many years and, in every
phase OF his lite, he has shown
himself TOD be a man. As a cons
tederate soldier, enlisting at the
tender age of fifteen in the 18th
Mississippi, Company d, Arm :
strong's- Brigade, he saw three
years service with the matchless
Forrest. The officers over him,
and his comrades in the ranks,
all testify to his gallantry and
bravery. After the war was
over, still but II boy, he met the
enemy he found at home-deso-
lation. poverty, and political
chaos, with the same dauntless
courage displayed on the battles
field. In 1865 he entered upon
life's struggles, thus %environed,
and handicapped by limited edu-
cation, without a dollar in his
pocket, yet he has fought his
way to distinction, becoming one
of the best lawyers in the State
and a prosperous and successful
now the largest cotton
planter in the whole country.
His entire life has been character
lied by sterling integrity, tireless
activity and eminent success;
clean minded, big hearted, libel
al handed, aggressively honest,
he stands a sale guide and leader
for the young men of the state:
a native Mississippian, a staunch
patriot, a brave soldier, a pro
found lawyer and christian gen
tlenan, he is eminently fit for
the high Office to which he as
pires. His qualifications EN-
brace everything that is required
to make a good and safe govern
or and such OF my friends as
may see fit to support Charles
Scott for governor will confer
upon me and in my judgment
subserve tho best interests OF the
state at large.
Faithfully yours,
TuoMAs ii. WOODS.
