KEYSTONE STATE
PLEDGED TO KNOX
Nominee Will Be Progress
sive Republican" De-
clareS Candidate.
Democratic Criticism of
Party Amounts to
Approval.

Declaring that the next Republican
pCminee for the Presidency will be "a
progressive Republican" Senator Knox
bf Pennsylvania last night accepted
with thanks the pledge, given at a ban
Duet at the New Willard Hotel. that
the Pennsylvania Republicans will make
q finish fight to land him in the White
House.
The dinner was given by former Rep
tesentative Joseph c. Sibley, OF Penn
sylvania, and all the distinguished
Pennsylvanians at the banquet board
were ready with speeches or applause,
pr both, 10 land the Knox Presidential
boom.
With Representative J. Hampton
Moore acting as toastmaster, speeches
we're made by Representatives Burke
and Dalzell. praising the record Of Mr..
Knox as a Republican, as Attorney
General and as a public man. Mr.. Dali
kcll declared that Mr. Knox had been
the most brilliant Attorney General this
country had ever had.
In replying TO these speeches. Mr.
Knox said, in part:
For the too generous words Of COM
mendauon spoke OF me tonight permit
me to thank you all most sincerely. I
proval OF such public service as l have
been enabled TO render. AS to the sug-
gestiOn OF possible higher service for
The future, that suggestion must rest
Upon such foundation as my public rec
cord and the wishes OF Pennsylvania
Republicans supply.
Il wish / could feel as certain Of the
value OF the one as ] feel gratitude for
the confidence implied IN the other
i venture to predict, without alllid-
ing at all to the Pennsylvania sugges-
ton, that the nominee, whoever he may
be-and many good men have been men
hOned-will be progressive Republican,
and earnestly DESTROYS OF maintaining
the record Of his party as the leader in
all real and re tional movements for the
advancement OF the people in their ma
tional affairs.
1.-THE sum OF Democratic criticism OF
what we have accomplished is that they
would have done Il themselves If they
had been in power, and this amounts TO
approval"

New Structure Urged
For Engraving Bureau
Secretary COrteIyou Declares That Larger
Building Is Necessity and Tells Result
of Personal Inspection.

In the annual report of the Secretary
Of the Treasury the opening gun Is fired
today in the fight for new building
for the Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing.
Foremost among the members of Con-
gress who will support Mr.. Cortelyous
efforts to secure an appropriation for a
magnificent structure for this branch
OF the Government viii be Representa-
tive William A. Rodenberg of Illinois.
who last session was instrumental in
securing enough money TO have tenta-
tive plans made for the building.
In his report, the Secretary Of the
Treasury says:
''The aggregate representative value
OF the work delivered by this Bureau
during the fiscal year just closed is
81. 421. $50 .60S.45. In the execution OF a
product so valuable It is obviously nee
essary that the utmost care should be
exercised, not Only 10 protect the peo-
pie through whose hands these Obilga-
tons and securities pass from loss by
comterfeiting, but also to protect the
Government against unauthorized is
sues. To secure these ends. the estab-
hshment should be thoroughly organ
tied, its personnel should be Of the
best Obtainable efficiency, and its work
should be up 20 the highest standard
Of excellence. Having a thoroughly or
gained and efficient force, the rooms
in which the work is executed should
be adequate in size for The force en-
ployed and the work to be done there
in. and they should be arranged TO
give the fullest measure Of light and
air and be kept In a thoroughly sani-
tary condition.

Of this bureau, and while its orGaniza-
ton is admirable and the character OF
the work turned out by Il shows the

Complaint mas been made by residents
along the metropolitan branch of the
j. & 0. Railroad about the train serv-
ice since TIE opening Of the Union Sta
tiCH. Charles SOrnborger, of Garrett
Park, Md. was somewhat incensed to-
Gay because local train No. S., scheduled
50 leave the station at sos yesterday
afternoon, was sent out on its way
while fifty or moro passengers were
held IN the concourse by the closed
gate. Mr.. SornbOrgeI is employed at the
Department Of Justice he says tie
only explanation given was that the
ticket examiners forgot to open the
gates to let the passengers on the
trains
Several nights ago. according to Mr..
'Sornborger, a Chicago express was
equipped with an engine which could
not make the requisite steam or speed
and broke down several times, delay
ing his local for an hour.

Hon. Jas. III. Adcock.

AS a fitting running mate to
Mr.. Bell, in this issue of the
HERALD, will also be found the
announcement of Mr.. JAS. III.
Adcock, the present efficient and
highly-thought-of Clerk OF the
Circuit Court for this county,
whose popularity as a man and
official is on a par with that OF
our Chancery Clerk. Mr.. Ad-
cock is a strong man, and tour
years ago led the vote in old
Kemper. He desires to succeed
himself in his present office, and
it is very doubtful ii a man can
be found in old Kemper who
would more acceptably fill the
bill. Below are a few words
from him to the voters of the
county.
To the Voters of Kemper County:
III announcing myself as a can
didate for re election to the office
sot Circuit Clerk OF your county,
I do 20 with a desire first, 10
thank you for the liberal airport
you have given me and for the
success I have had in the can
vases made eretofore for this
office. And now | can only
promise you as | did then, that
is to endeavor to serve you to
the best of my ability. At the
same time realizing that | am
human and liable to r as all
men sometimes do, but if [ have
or do make mistakes they will be
from the head and not the heart.
and should you SCI proper C
select me to this responsible
place, | will endeavor to- remain
faithful to the trust committed
unto me. And shonld the re-
suit be otherwise I'll not be
heard to murmur, but be pro
foundIy grateful for past favors,
Yours at your Command,
j. IL. ADCoCK.

There never was an organlza-
ton started up in Mississippi
which did not resort to the free
co operation of the newspaper.
when it is really no more a
newspapers business to lend a
hand to- these enterprises and
give space to them than it is for
q citizen to go down into his
pockets and dig up the coin and
help them. The space in a
newspaper is its stock and trade,
and if the Southern Cotton
Growers Association needs pub
iicity through the columns of a
newspaper it should pay for it.
Its officers are paid for their
services, and they should not
resort to the free use OF news
papers to tell the people that the
association is out OF funds. The
members will find that out soon

Hon. Sam O. Bell.

Elsewhere will be found the
announcement OF the Hon. Sam
@. Bell, present Clerk OF the
Chancefy Court Of Kemper
County, as a candidate for re
nomination and reelection to
that important office.
This is without doubt the
most important Office in the
county, and has been filled by
Mr.. Bell most acceptably in
every respect for the past two
terms.
1t is all office the incumbent
OF which should be changed, for
the best interests of the county
&nd those having business in
S1er the Chancery Court or the
,Roard of Supervisors, only tor
soma derelection of duty or tor
Inability to perform his varied
duties.
The man who holds the Office
of Chancery Clerk in every
county in Mississippi, and per-
forms his duties aeceptably and
with honor to himself and his
constituency, must be q many
sided man. He must be able to
measure up to the requirements
of a decidedly varied public SEN
timent. There are a thousand
and one little, items connected
with the conduct of the affairs OF
the county, each unimportant
perhaps but each a part of all
important whole, with which our
Chancery Clerk, as a Clerk OF
the Board of Supervisors, is pre-
sumed to be familiar. Should
he not prove so, the public will
hold him derelect.
We believe that Mr.. Bell has
measured up to the standard
very closely, and being by nature
of a disposition to make friends,
we believe he is today the stong-
est man. personally, IN tn {
county. And believing S,
while some other good Demo.
crat may think the time propi'
tious to contest with Mr.. Bel
the honors and perquisites Of
the office, we would remark that
the said good Democrat vii
tackle a tough proposition.

Although the new modes are

in mind the garments more suited

accompany them, are receiving
much attention just now. There
