MINOR DIFFERENTIATION

On one point we are certain that
we do not agree with Mr.. Scott. He
is our choice for Governor, and comes
nearer meeting our views on all the
pressing subjects than any of the bal
.ance, but stihEwe ditferen tiateI Isome-
times with the very best of men, but
not every time on main points. The
question we have in mind is that of
the negro education. We are not sure
that our ideas exactly collide with
his on this. On some phases of it we
know from his speech that we do not
agree. We believe in three-fold edu-
cation for the negro, and this in a
qualified limited way, that Is too big
a subject to handle without special
chapter on it; this we will at some
convenient time present, as our read
ers have never been given the benefit
if they SO regard it, of our modestly
held views on this pulling topic.
There is a great division of thought
on this theme, and it's hard to- find
many thinkers who considering it
from first to last don't differ on it
somewhere. The difference whatever
it may be between us and the Bolivar
county statesman is not concerned
in this Governor S race, and is only
stated by us that at some later day,
our readers may not think they have
discovered inconsistency in our treat
Use OF this momentous public!question,
Because we pick out of bunch a man
upon whom to cast our political
friendship, is not to be taken as a
reason that we swallow his views in
toto on everything; we certainly a
gree with him on some important and
weighty matters all of which will in
due time fully appear from these col
umns, but this writer has an indie
tendency of thinking, that will not
permit him to be bound down to any
one man s particular views on every
sounding of the diapason political,
social and moral. we avail ourselves
of the privilege Of graSping by our
own thinking machinery the right
side of a question, a right as free and
dear to us as Mr. Scott or any other
great man, but not meaning, we know
but little to the world, because from
greatness in these days comes the
thoughts most priced.

A battle royal is on between the
prohibitionists and saloon people in
Madison County, and the indications
are that the soloons will be driven
out Of the county at the forthcoming
election. Aside from moral considera-
tons, which are all in favor of the
prohibition movement, it is signifi-
cant that the dry towns are far
.outstripping the wet ones in in
dustrial progress. Which are the fas-
test growing and most prosperous
cities in the state? Hattiesburg, va
zoo City. Greenwood, Meridian and
Jackson, in all which the saloons are
closed; while Canton, Greenville and
Natchez, whisley towns, are alIon a

Honestly we cant fall in with Mr..
Sisson' 5 idea that the Democracy OF
Mississippi at this time needs an ac-
adamic exposition of the Jeffersonian
idea. His calculation of how the State
Campaign should be cast is entirely
voluntary upon his part, and to our
way of thinking is not going to strike
the rank and file of the Party in a
very receptive attitude. They will
rather gravitate to the candidates
who have bowed their wills to the de-
mands of the masses and decided to
take the people into their confidence
by publicly enunciating their views on
the various developing questions that
do no violence to JeffeRsonian prinei-
piles, but are of local application, and
to be settled by constructive STATES
manship. This is the way we consid-
er the matter, in all earnestness, and
we accredit to him the same sincerity
of purpose.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1907-04-26

The unique position taken by Mr.
Sisson, which places him on a side to
himself and the other fellows in a
bunch to themselves, has interested
us from it's inception. We have stud
led it and said that unless well sus-
tanned by him with compelling and
captivating personality on the stump
it would fall to the ground in the
wear and tear of the campaign, and
leave him exhausted with his efforts
and deserted by the numbers that
should rally to his standard if he is
to win. In our humble opinion, and
without any desire to depreciate him,
for we candidly admit that he makes
a pretty figure on the stand and
speaks both fuently and with rem
arkable amount of energy, he does
not make it that telling that he
should to insure success for him I'M
der such a peculiar alignment. His
oratorical powers are above the me-
diocric, but not of the sweeping and
flaming order that's necessary to car
ry him along over the resistance
bound to be stirred up by the stand
he takes.

They usually meet we observe, two
or three at q place, deliver their per-

dience, and then scatter out speeding

Slsson is to be thanked for clear
ing the gubernatorial campaign of
geographical contentious. His hand
ling of that phase of the situation
just about knocks the spots out of
sectional claims and rightly it should.
A Governor of Mississippi should be
of the people and for the whole peo-
pie regardless Of what part OF the
state he comes from or they live in.
There S never been any rule for rota-
ton that we have learned of in the
selection, and we see no valid reason
for now invoking one. Truth Of the
business is, contentious of any of
them to the contrary, the whole
bunch of seekers after the first Chair
of our State this time, live iii or on
the edge of the Delta, and ali have
interests there. Sisson is really a lit.
tie further off from the Rivers than
any of the balance, but Mr.. Noel says
that Sisson owns some Delta planta
tions, and we notice Sisson failed to
enter denial, The voters may have
been muddled some on this point,
and we are glad to call attention to
the Qualification, and in it, Mr.. Sis
son is read out of any special ad1an
tage claimed, hill billy and all.

WHO WE ARE FOR AND SOME
OF THE WHY'S.

From remarks personally and IN
print made, its but natural for our
readers to expect this paper to for
mally declare It's choice for Governor
since all four of the leading candi-
dates for that office have come to
Leakesville and made their speeches,
From other paragraphs in this issue
it will be noted that we are commit
ed to the cause OF Hon. Chas, Scott,
In every fair and honorable way we
shall from this on seek to promote
his political interest and point our
people to the advantages we believe
that will accrue from his election In
doing this we shall make plain why
we have adopted his case. Had we
space would expatiate some in that
way at this time, but that's a post
poned pleasure. It's pertinent, how
ever, to explain that cur position
WIFI It1CEtiCC Hb0 blts 4NOGl 10 7tetolly
reconcilable with our previous ex-
pressions. We we're half-committed
to him in this way: provided no 9th
er aspirant appeared in the race who
showed greater adaptability or girth,
timber of a bigger mould; in other
words speaking not discourteously,
for we consider Mr.. Noel a very eX-
cellent man, and one also who could
too show a better mastering Of
strength, than Mr.. Noel, then our
commitment would abrogate This is
admittedly the case; there are several
candidates in the field who are repu-
ted to excel or outclass him in the
first respect, and one namely Mr..
Scott, that meets the requirements
of the second specification. This be-
ing the case, it devolved upon us to
pick the best of these several, and
allthings considered we felicitate our
selves upon having made the proper
selection.

There's one candidate in this cam
paign to whom, unless we change our
mind, considering certain things that
are filtering through to our ears, we
shall shortly pay our dutiful res
spects, thinks he's mighty smart,
but we'll see whose the smart fellow.
To relieve the minds of our county
candidates, would advise that this
man does not live in Old Greene.

THE ORIGIN AND EXPANSION
of the SUNDAY-SCHO By H.
Clay Trumbull, beingan excerpt from
Yale Lectures on the Sunday
School by same author. In green pa
per binding. 142 pages. The Sunday
School Times Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
Price 35c. postpaid.
OF authorities on the Sunday School
subject, none of greater worth and
reputation has appeared at any time
since. the movement began, than the
late learned DR.. Mumbell, the author
of the above book on its origin and
While he handled with
great erudition many other practical
topics that concern Christianity, yet
his chief aim in life, his strongest ef-
forts were put forth on the Sunday
School question. His uhremitting re-
searches and untiring endeavors have
left much for the Sunday School
Movement to call his name Blessed
for. His lectures and writings were
highly priced while in life up to a few
years ago he was delivering them,
his writings were eagerly sought af-
ter and much relied upon for setting
perplexities which as in any other
movement would come up for skillful
and able treatment, and now that he
is no longer living, yet through his
works he still lives and his good work
goes on.
OF perplexing problems the Origin
of the Sunday-School movement is
one of the worst; for long years the
disputation has gone ON and still con-
tinues as to who was the real origi-
nator of the idea. Some claiming,
Robert Raikes, some Wesley and
some Others. By briefly collaborating
from the choicest and most valuable
works bearing on the subject in its
various ages, he shows the. relation
each OF the men to whom its origin
is assigned, bore to the birth and
propaganda of this movement. Some
of us may not agree with the Doc
tor in going back so far as he does in
the Jewish Church economy to find
types of it. but none can deny that
its with a master hand he does the
tracing. and there are certainly
grounds cited for consideration in
that connection whether or not we
accept his application.
