The big opening of the new town
of Shelton in the Holbrook country,
eight miles north and west of La
Junta, takes place Wednesday, May
22d. There will be a special train
run from Kansas City to Rocky
Ford. and from that burg over the
Arkansas Valley road to the new
town. The Rocky Ford band will

grand free lunch for all of the visi-
tors.

a fine agricultural territory, at the
junction of the Arkansas Valley
Railroad and the Holly and Swink
Railroad. All but twenty of the 400
lots in the townsite have already
been sold, and the big drawing for
the location of the various purchas-
ers will take place on the day of the
opening. 1t promises to be great
day for the Holbrook country, as
Shelton is destined to be a thriving
agricultural community within the
short space of two years. Informa-
ton regarding the excursion train,
rates, etc., will be published later.

reaching out boldly for this kind OF
immigrants.
81 have personally visited Italy for
the purpose of studying this ques-
ton, and I found the Italian farmer
from central and northern Italy, a
very desirable immigrant for the
delta part of the state, because they
are partly immune from malaria; but
for other parts of the state the Ger
man would do quite as well and it
may be the people would prefer
them. Those who so oppose the
italians coming here need not, fear,
be greatly concerned, for Italy has
placed Mississippi on the blacklist,
and will issue no passport to an
italian who gives his destination as
Mississippi"
Mr.. Scott also stated that he fa-
vored the proper regulation and con-
troll of the railroads by national and
state laws, redistribution of the
school funds of the state and a
greater proportion of representation
for the southern part of the state
than it now has.-Sea Coast Echo.

CHARLES SCOIT'S INN IGRATI0G VIEWS.

Hon. Chas. Scott, candidate for
Governor, addressed large audience
at the temporary court house in the
O'Ferral building, among whom were
quite a number of Confederate vet
erans. He defined his issues, begin
hing with the statement that he
stands for a business administration
of State affairs and for those things
which will develop the resources of
the commonwealth to the greatest
good of the whole public. He said:
"Missisippians are community OF
borrowers rather than lenders. We
need additional capital in order to
give us cheaper money, to bring
more cotton mills to the cotton fields,
to bring wood factories to our mag
nificent forests. But to my mind,
we need additional laber even more
than we need additional capital. The
question of immigration is one on
which l have been widely and grossly
knowingly, Intentionally and with
malice aforethought by others. 1t is
not now and has never been my in
tcntion, either individually or as
chief executive, if elected, to try to
force on any community any class of
immigrants. I could not, if l would,
= T I
always have been, unalterably OPP
posed to an undesirable class of i'm
migrants. We should repel by every
means the importation of the Grim
ioals, the degenerates, the flotsani
ard jetsam of Europe. but I declare
myself boldly as fayoring immigra-
ton of the right sort. 1 repeat, of
the right sort. We need them. We
need them not to compete with the
white man, but to replace the idle,
vicious, criminal negroes and to re-
move the black peril from our midst.
1t is my settled and honest convic
ton that the negro will cease to be
an Industrial or agricultural factor in
the South. Day by day, month by
r1onth, year by year, he is growing
more indolent, more worthless and
n ore criminal. l say that more in
sorrow than in anger, for | have
nothing against him, but I speak
from personal experience, from OBJ
servation and from profound convic-
ton.
GAS the dominant race we should
see that he is justly treated and his
life, property and liberty protected, |
but as he leaves us it is the part of
wisdom to bring here to replace him, !

immigrants, and unless we get them, !

anv manner connived at the election
of the Republican candidates, Is
grossly false and would require nc
denial among those who know the
man and his deeds.
I repeat that in that election the
Democratic nominees. received
the unqualified support of Mr..
Scott and no one who knows the
life of Charles Scott will question
his fidelity and loyalty.
Ordinarily | would pay no atten-
ton whatever to what are ordi-
narily termed campaign lies, ,"
but in this instance the grossly
false and unfounded charge that
Mr.. Scott voted for or in any man
ner encouraged the aspirations of
the negro candidate and his white
colleague may possibly, if unchal-
lenged, have some influence with the
credulous voter who knows notll-
ing9about Mr.. SCOTS life, and l
feel it but due him that I shall state
the facts.
To you, at least, it is we'll known
that during those long years in
which the Democracy of this
county was divided into warning
factions Mr.. Scott and I were not
at all i'll accord as to local politics,
but never at any time, or under
any condition, has Mr. Scott failed
to give i1ldisputable evidence of his
loyalty to his party.
Mr.. w. L. Pearman, my running
mate in the election referred to, is
at present attending the reunion of
the Confederate veterans in Rich
mo1ld Virginia; if he were at home
l KNOW that he would endorse
every word herein written.
Wishing Mr.. Scott success and
believing that the people of Missis-
sippi will by their ballots stamp
forever their disapproval upon this
character of campaign l am. with
assurances of the highest personal
esteem,
Truly your friend,
! Z. H. MOORE.

The campaign liars ard mud
singers have, since Mr.. Scott S
announcement for Governor, made
him their special target and have
strained their imaginations to the
breaking point in manufacturing
falsehoods with a hope of driving
the people of Mississippi from him.
Many of these lies are too silly to
deceive even idiots and therefore
no attention has been paid to them
and, in fact, they are reflections
upon the intelligence of the voters
of Mississippi. Mr.. Scott has re-
Gently been charged with support
ing a negro against Hon. +. H.
Moore for the Constitutional Con-
vention. and as this is calculated to
deceive some who might be unin-
formed, Mr.. Moore, who has for fif-
teen years ably represented Bolivar
county in the State Senate with
distinction to himself and credit to
his county. promptly brands the
report as it deserves. l invite the
attention of the voters of Missis-
sippi to his letter i'll order that they
may understand, in part at least,
to what desperation the enemies of
Mr.. Scott are driven by his rapid
and unprecedented gains during
the last two months, notwithstaId-
ing their cry that Scott is losing
ground. "
Respectfully,
E. H. WOODS.

JEFFERSON DAVIS BIRTHDAY
Fittingly Celebrated by
the Frank A. Mont
gomery Chapter.

On Monday, June Sd, the birth
day of Jefferson Davis, our Confed-
crate president, was held in hon
ored and revernt memory by the
Frank A. Montgomery Chapter of
U. D. c. at the residence of the
Misses Montgomery.
The lovely, shaded lawn was
beautifully decorated with flags and
streamers of the Confederate colors
and Oh the breast the heart
of every man and woman were the
red and white e1nblems of cherish
ed and fond remembrance.
There was mingled sense of
love and joy and pride in the beau
tiful scene. Love and pride i'll our
land of heroes and joy that even
in defeat they sheathed their
swords with unsullied honor. And
yet, in some hearts there was all
undertone of sadness. The great,
good man whose birthday dates
almost century ago, lies in the
tomb and the grayheads of the veter-
ans-assembled there by special in-
vitation-were reminders that in a
few decades the glamour and the
glory of the Lost Cause would be
sacred yet proud and exultant
memory.
The exercises of the day opened
with piano duet by two of Rose
dale's rosebud girls" :" Misses
Mary Siliers and May Pearl Scott.
The theme was Dixie" and
moved by its inspiration, the ladies
marched in sweetest harmony-the
veterans, of course applauding.
Next on the program was song,
The Bonnie Blue Flag" by Mr..
Crenshaw and in his fine, artistic
rendering Of the sentiment, there
was flash Of the fire which burned
in the early COS. The applause
that followed was a dual tribute
to song and songster.
"Tenting OH the old Camp
Ground," pino performance, was
then given by Miss Fadgie Mont
gomery in her graceful style. This
was succeeded by an address to the
veterans by Mrs. J. L. Gill, the be-
loved president of the Frank A.
Montgomery Chapter, in tears and
in graceful terms she welcomed
them and expressed regret that the
Crosses of Honor, which she had
hoped to present to some of them,
had failed to come to hand in time
for the occasion.
Dainty refreshments were served
by Mrs. +. H. Moore, the hostess
of the day-and her sisters, and, to
many present, come thoughts
sweet and tender, that, in the
earthly home of Col. Frank A.
Montgomery, his lovely and ac-
complished daughters fttingly' paid
tribute of love and honor to our
Confederate chieftain and. in the
inner shrine of the heart converse
with their gifted and heroic father.
