HON. CHARLES SCOTT.

From evey section of the State the
Hon. Charles Scott of Bolivar county,
is gaining new ground every day that
rolls around. He has only to be seen
and heard to convince the intelligent
citizenship OF the state that lie is the
man for governor.
A man with lofty ideas, aud high ideals
of what is needed in state craft is found
i'll the person of this disting guished COM
moner. He is the perfect type OF a man
without guile and his opponets, all
woI thy men. are at their wits ends for
material and matter with which TO as
sail him. Nothing in truth can be lodg-
ed against him as a public servant or
private citizen. LII public affairs his
every act has been above and beyond
the average: in private life he is the eni-
bodnent Of all that is good, and true
and noble Is it any wonder then that
his cause at this time finds generous
response OF sympathy and assurances
of support from the ,eouanry OF the
good old State of Mississippi?
| From thc Tennessee line to the Gulf
and from Alabama on the east and the
Father OF Waters OH our Western bor-
der, the name and lame OF the gentleman
from Boil, ar has been hcralded, and we
have yet to hear the first Insinuation
| that he is ausht but what his friends
claim he is. We say his frends, and
rightly too, Tor the gentleman hinsclfis
not of the kind who herald their own
fair traits and good qualities before the
public. Charles Scott has never yet
from the stump or elsewhere proclaimed
that he had any special virtues above
his lellowman. His friends, those who
know him as he is, bear testimony to
the senunencss of his makeup, and his
record along all lines is one that every
young man aspiring to be somebody to
pattern after-The Record
Chas. Scott in;ly he losing his holt

CHAS. SCOTT IN WINSTON

Louisville, Miss. June S.-Chas.
Scott, ,candidatefor governor, spoke
at Fearn Springs, in this county III
open air last night, the crowd be-
ing too large to get in the house.
The impression made was conclus-
lively for Scott.
Al Louisville today the court
house was crowded to oyerHowing,
with men and women from all over
the county. His speech was PLAIN
and to the point, and was so clear
that ii swept the audience through
out and showed conclusively to even
the few Truly supporters that 1t
was Scott day.
Judge Truly preceded Mr.. Scott
on Thursday and devoted portion
of his speech to the immigration and
school distribution questions. Mr..
Scott discussed questions in such a
clear and concise manner that effect
the Truly speech made was swept
away. That this county IS Tor
Scott is apparent OH all sides.

TENNESSEE MOUNTAINEERS.

LADIES: i will give you a short
account of the mountaineers in the
Tennessee mountains, as l saw
them years ago.
I have been to their resorts or
springs III the mountains and have
seen some of the mountaineers and
some of their families, and a more
abject or poverty stricken people l
have revet secn. The old people
were nearer heatllenism than any
have ever read about. They
seem to care for nothing but the
whisky stills that are studded over
the mountains, and to live on the
drinks they get from the places.
Ny friend and l walked around the
base of the mountain, curious to
see what we could see. We came
up on what might be called cabins
more Ike pens-the people rug
ged ard poverty-stricken, and
more little children i'll such places.
There was very elegant preacher
from Georgia at the springs. l
asked him if he knew that there
were people in these mountains that
had never heard the sound of the
Gospel. He said that was not our
fault-it was the business of the
people there. Since then there
have been plain churches built over
the mountains and a missionary
sent to preach to. them and try to
convert them, and there is much
good being done by the Home
Mission.
When we fail to do the small
things of this earth we have no
call to do the higher ones. If we
would do much good in little
things, or little acts of kindness,
ally follow as consequence of our
words and example.
The little faults that mar our
lives are the sorrows we bring upon
ourselves by our lack of discretion,
or needless obstinacy. Life is full
of sorrowful scenes that could have
been avoided, but we regret the
more because we feel we were to
blome. Let us be tender to our
friends while they are with us.
Be kind and gentle NOW and not
wait for regret to tell us of duty
undone.
Reflection is Our good angel.
How are we spending our lives?
When life is nearly ended we will
think of the past and sigh for the
days that are gone. They will not
come again. Make the most of
them now and your closing days
will be full of peace.

Jus iciici. ullSliIteu supplies OF all
kinds, to comfort the afflicted pow
er. III the present famine i'll China,
almost without precedent i'll extent
and suffering-saye that of Egy pit
in the days of Joseph, and yet
how nobly has America responded
to the call for bread from that FAM
ishing people?
Do you think that it was altru
ism that has brought forth the
money so readily to this appeal?
The answer to that question may
be found i'll what was said by a
high caste Brahran, who was
viewing the arrival in India of a
vessel from America laden with
breadstuffs for the famine stricken
people of his country. He was
much moved and as the tears roll
ed down his cheeks he said. That
is the greatest sermon in behalf OF
Christianity that could be preach
ed"
Our missionaries go armed wit h
the Bible, the medicine chest, and
bread for the needy showing
Christ's Gospel is one of LovE-and
those who love him, keep his conf
mand ments.
If we love God with all Our heart
and strength and soul, and our
neighbor as ourselves, are we not
compelled by this very love we pro-
fess for Him, to send our mis-
sionaries to those who know not
| God-to carry to them the Bread
of Life, even as we send bread to
the starving in China and India!
When we read in Romans,
Whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved. How
then shall they call on Him when
they have not believed? and
how shall they believe in Him OF
whom they have not heard! and
how shall they hear without a
preacher? and how shall they preach
except they be sent?" Can we al
low this reproach to remain upon
us? Ii I'VE cannot go ourselves,
surley we must do what we can to
send preaehers-not only to China
and India. Africa and the islands
of the Pacific, but to Our city slurns
and byways and alleys, our NOUN
tains north and south.
The command is to us who have
the precious Bible entrusted to lis
to the eleven who received it from
the lips of our risen Lord Go ye
unto all the world and preach the
Gospel to every creature. -

COTTON PICKING MACHINE.

Several capitalists OF Greenville are
engaged i'll the manufacture and 1t is
hoped, the sale OF machine that really
picks cotton at the rate of about 5000
pounds per day. carrying five rows at
time, and getting every boil that is
open.
1t is to be hoped than the Mississippi
Cotton Harvester Co., will prove a
monster success. II one thing is needed
in the South more than anoter, it is a
cotton picker. The oldfashio ma
chine the negro, is worn out, and he
will be picked if he can. He must be
supplanted on the cotton plantation. re
gardless of the cost. He is no longer to
he depended upon. He has become lazy,
trifing and impudeIlt, and will not lis
ten to the ADVICE OF his employer. He
quits the field whenever he gets ready
| and he is always ready. He wants a
dollar and half a day for four-bits
| worth of work, and the farmer cannot
afford to pay it. Thousands Of dollars
are lost annually to the farmers OF the
state because of inability to get their
cotton picked at the proper time. The
! towns and the dice tables have great
attractions for the negro at cotton
picking time. Especially is that the
case when they have succeeded i'll getting

mine.
| The Grcenville Times gives the follow
| ing description of the machine;
''rhe machine is composed of light
platform 5xl4 feet, made of 1-4X4 inch
channel bar steel, and mounted on four
broad-tired steel agricultural wheels
which are fitted on arched axels as
shown in cut, to enable the machine to
be driven astritle the cotton rows with
out injury to the unmatured part OF the
crop I he machine is seli-propelling and
is guided by the operator with steer
ing device similar to that of an automo-
bile. On the platform is mounted a 20
horse power opposed Cylinder gasoline
engine, which besides driving the ma
chine, operates double exhaust or Sue
ton, which is applied to the open cot
ton by means of four flexible suction
hose, two on each side of the machine
Each hose requires one man to operate
the nozzle. which is held near the open
cotton boil The suction speedily re-
moves the cotton from the plant draw
ing it through the hose, fans and a large
discharge fue into the screen receptacle
on the rear end of the machine, from
which it can be readily removed by

The Enterprise of Thursday says
that the Cleveland boys claim that
Umpire Dugan's decisions were
all against the visitors. In this we
think they are mistaken, there be-
ing only one decision in which we
think Mr.. Dugan erred-and if
an error it was all honest one-
and thlt was when he called out
at 1st the first man up for Ceve-
land in the seventh inning. The
decision was close, and the runner
ought to have had the benefit Of the

up were easy outs this decision
could hardly have changed the re-

complainant IN the Manhattan avenue
court today against Mrs. James Bimson,
Of so Eagle street. who was holding the
formers l0.months.old baby as security
for 4 loan Of s25.
According To the story told to Magis-
trate OReilly, Mrs. Byrnes, being with
out money Or the means Of procuring
proper food for her baby, appealed to
Mrs. Bimson few weeks ago for aid.
The latter consented To loan Mrs. Byrnes
$26 IL she would give her child as sccur-
ity. Forced to the wall BY starvation
staring her in the face. Mrs. Byrnes says
she consented.
One week passed and Mrs. Byrues was
still unable to pay the loan, and her
distress was increased BY longing
for possession Of her child. Finally she
begged Mrs. Bimson TO return the baby,
but Mrs. Bimson insisted on receiving
the money first.
A. last resort Mrs. Byrnes
summoned Mrs. Bimson to court. She
could hardly connect her sentences as
she told her story to Magistrate O'Reilly.
when she had finished there were tears
In the magistrates eyes It was some
moments before he could recover him

said.
