WILLIAMS AND VARDAMAN
PARALLEL READING.
SKILLED VS.. UNSKlLLED.

There is no issue between Mr.. Will
liam3 and Governor Vardaman as to
the desirability Of securing the repeal
of the fifteenth amendment.
Don't be deluded into the belief
that Governor Vardaman is the sole
and only champion of this measure,
and that Mr.. Williams is opposing it.
The Vardamanites would like to
have you believe this but it is untrue.
Mr.. Williams said during the Meri-
dian Joint debate: Il would give my
left arm to secure the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment" With niS Gus
tomary accuracy the governor quoted
his opponent as saying he would give
his right arm. That is about as near
to accuracy as he usually gets.
Governor Vardaman says, Il will
try to repeal the fifteenth amend
ment." Which of these statements
sounds sincere and true?
More important still, which of these
men is the better qualified to under
take the work?
James X. Vardaman is unSkilled,
without experience in national legisla-
tion. temperamentally untitled for a
cOnciliatory task, one requiring cool
ness, deliberation and Judgment. On
many occasions he has aroused the
bitterest hostility and resentment in
| the North and it is to the North that
we must look for aid in repeating the
fifteenth amendment. 1t cannot be
accomplished bySOuthern states alone,
| for two thirds majority of all the
states is required.
John Sharp Williams is a man OF
eminent standing in the councils OF
/ the nation. Democrats and rcpubli-
cans alike recognize his statesman
ship. He is a skilled legislator. and
fourteen years of experience in the
| halls of congress has given him pres
tige and influence that James h.
Vardaman could not acquire in four
teen hundred years He is the leader
of his party, man whom other men

people Of Mississippi have his word

"Why Should John sharp Williams Be
Elected As United States Senator?"

Says the Jackson Daily News, of
June "a:
Recahse he is one of the nation s
great men, and will one day rank with
the great senator's of America. Gov
ernOr Vardaman has said so over his
own signature.
The question is being frequently
asked now why the people should elect
John Sharp Williams as United states
senator. We wish to introduce as wit
ness to his superior qualifications for
the position, CT Governor James h.

NEGRO KILLED.
Rufus CrOwder Kills Ed Booker


On the morning Of July s, on the
Barksdale place five miles north of
Grenada. Rufus CrOwder shot and
killed Ed Booker at the house Of the
fomer. 1t seems that BOoker'S wife
had become so enamored of Crowder
that she had left the domicile of her
husband and taken up her abode
with Crowder.
A sort of truce had been arranged
and Booker'S wife, with Crowder'S
consent, had agreed to return to him
and he was at Crowder'S house with a
wagon for her and her plunder when
Crowder suddenly became enraged and
killed Booker. CrOwder immediatly
took flight and is still at large. There
is statutory reward of 800 for his
arrest and return to the proper Off
GERS here.

Have you been noticing the .flatter-
ing press notices your friend and our
friend, James X. Vardaman, is re-
ceiving from the Mississippi press
lately? In this issue we print two
solid of Vardaman VS.. Williams COM
ment. Throughout the State the
press is almost unanimous for Varda-
man, pie-hunting editors excepted,
and the newspapers can be relied up
on for conservative estimate of pub
lie opinion on all questions OF public
import. This means that Governor
Vardaman, the friend cf the richest
and the poorest, the highest and the
lowest, is certain of being elected our
next senfitor. A vote for him means
vote for government by the people,
and a vote for white supremacy. Dom

everywhere recognized as man deep

give utterance to any statement for
any purpose or for anybody that he
did not believe to be wholly and abso-
iutely true. Mr.. Brewer said nothing,
as is shown by the stenographer's re-
port of his speech, to reflect on any

w. w. INMAN DEAD.
Passed Away at Uvaide, Texas.

The subject of this sketch passed
away at his home at Uvalde, Texas,
July 4. He was born in the western
portion of this county Feb. p, 1861.
About fifteen years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Minnie McGraw, of Win
ston County, by whom he is survived.
He moved from Grenada to Acker-
man, Miss, about ten years ago where
he resided until last October when a
pulmonary trouble led him to seek
the climate of Texas. His move
there benefited him and evidently
prolonged his life, but ne failed to ob-
tain that relief hoped for. He was
thought to be doing very we'll until
Saturday, June 29th, when he took a
smothering spell from which he nev-
er entirely rallied. He was fully a.
ware of his condition and before he
became unable to talk had his good
wife to read to him from the bible, af-
ter which he breathed prayer of hum
BILE submission to the divine and will
begged Heaven 'slblesSing upon his wife
and two little daughters who stood
by his side. Even after he was una
BILE to talk: he repeatedly pointed to
his wife and then to the skies. indi-
eating that he wanted them to join
him in Heaven. Mr.. Inman was uni
versally popular wherever he was
known. He was Mason and a faith
full adherent OF the Baptist Church.
The devotion that existed between
him and his brother, Mr.. A. Il. In
man of this place who was on his
way to see him at the hour of his
death, is worthy of emulation. His
remains were brought to Louisville

Wants His Share.

Papers have been filed in the office
of the clerk of the district court in an
action wherein John G. McGreevy, the
we'll known conductor, sues A. M.
Chisholm, the mining man, alleging
that Chisholm withholds from him
certain interests in the lease on the
famous section 30. Mr.. McGreevy
states that he was instrumental in
getting the defendant interested in
the land, convinced him it was valu-
able for iron and that he was to have
an interest in the lease for his service.
He claims that Chisholm delayed
allotting him his stock, and finally,
when the mine proved to be valuable
one, offered to give McGreevy about
one-third of what was his due. The
complaint states that the plaintiff has
no means of knowing what has been
realized out of he mine. but that S70,-
600 was receive from some Pittsburg
parties as bonus.
1t is alleged that over million tons
of high grade iron ore is now blocked
out. and that it is worth more than
ST. a ton in the ground.
McGreevy, through A. e. McManus.
his attorney, sues for his share of the
stock and an accounting of the case
will be tried in September.

A great accommodation to the pub
lie In the matter of special delivery of
mail went into effect on July 1. This
is the privilege of using ten cents
worth of ordinary postage stamps in
place of the 10 cent special. The lat
ter stamp is not abolished. but its use
is optional. Under ordinary circum-
stances people will continue to call
for the special delivery stamp at the
postoffices, but when it is inconven-
lent to call for these stamps, the reg
ular postage will do as well, provided
the letter is marked special delivery.
Mail weighing at the local office
was begun on that date and will con-
tinue for six months. A record will
be kept of the amount of all the diff
ferent classes of mail originating at

Editorial Patriotism.
