FROM THE PEOPLE.

MIR. Editor:
A. democrat who believes in party
organization, | want to endorse unqual-
iedly the editorial in the last weeks
Beacon in reference 10 allowing repub-
hcans and populites to vote in demo.
cratic primaries Four years ago sew
eral POPS in this county voted in tur
primary and twelve months after not
outstanding their implicit promise,
voted for the populist president and CON
gresSmen 1t seems to me that men
who evince so little regard for the dem
ocraic party and its principles as to
change within one year are men that
should not be trusted with the shaping
OF the party S polices on selecting its
officials,
Besides Mr., Editor, the populite par.
ty in this State is composed almost Of
exclusively of disgruntled democrats,
who have sought office at the hands OF
the democracy, been refused and are
ready to loln any organization opposed
to democracy. | ask the question in
all sincerity should the democratic
party trust its destiny in the hands Of
such mem While their number is few
t IS more than likely that thew NAV
hold the balance OF power and their vote
decide the result Of an election
1t is neither fair or just or good poll.
cy to allow disloyal element to throw
the apple OF discord into our party or
ganization | do not understand, Mr.
Editor, why this element should have
the slightest desire to participate in the
selections OF our party officials, [ fee
no interest in who the republican, o,
populites nominate or elect, nor the
least inclination to vote IN their prima.
RES the only motive which could in
fiuence me to take stock in their politi.
cal movements would be to elect lhat
candidate most easily beaten or suqges,
those measures of policy best calculated
to disrupt lie party.
1t seems to me that this is the most
natural feeling towards the opposite
party, we think that the spirit and let
ter of the resolution passed by the exc
cutlve committee that none but NUN,
democrats vote and those who expec,
and intend to support the republican
and populite tickets next wear will
either refrain from voting themselves OF
will have their ballots refused by tn,
managers

GRAND RALLY.


mhss meeung IN MACON.
A mass meeting was held in the
court house Thursday morning to in
augurate movement to make the
grand rally at Macon on Wednesday,
July 3lst great success. The meet
ing was well attended, and those pre-
sent subscribed literally. The meeting
organized by electing D. F. Allgood,
Chairman; Henry Minor, Secretary.
1t was resolved to make this district
and not county matter, that is that
Macon District was to entertain the
people of the county as their guests,
and therefore no subscriptions be asked
for outside of the district. 1t was also
resolved that the entertainment should
be a barbecue and basket dinner.
The chairman and secretary were di.
rected to appoint general committee
on arrangements Of which they were
to be chairman and secretary, and al
other necessary committees. 1t was
left to this committee to secure bant

Vardaman on the Stump.

1t seems that Gov. Vardaman OPP
posed the rate bill of the Fifty-ninth
Congress on the ground that he would
not allow the Northern States to par
ticipate in the regulation of railroads
in Mississippi, but he purposes to in
yite the Northern States to change the
Federal Constitution for the convent
ence of Mississippi, Despite the OPP
position of Gov Vardaman, the North
ern States, as represented in the Fifty
ninth Congress, did make a rate bill
that is as binding in Mississippi as it is
in Massachusetts or Minnesota, and no
body knows better than Gov. Varda-
man that the. Northern States of this
generation will not assist him in the re-
peal of the fifteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution,
As reported in the New Orleans pa
pers Gov. Vardaman's speech is an ap-
peal to ignorance. 1t is reflection
upon and an indictment of the uncon-
stiCutional and demagogue innovation
of selecting United States Senators by
general primary. No man ever made
an appeal 10 State legislature on so
low a plane as Gov. Vardaman's ap-
peal to the masses. He appeals to he
prejudices of the voters about the ne
gro, and works on their credulity in
holding out the hope of repeal of the
Fifteenth Amendment.
But what will the Northern States
say? viii they stultify themselves at
the demand of Vardaman? We doubt
it, And the fifteenth amendment car.
not be repealed without not only the
assent but the cooperation of the
North. Gov, Vardaman knows that.
and he also knows that if the fifteenth
amendment is repealed in the future
it will be concession the North makes
to men ike Williams rather than ar
obedience to the demand" of mer
like Van daman, There is Just as much
human nature at the North as there
is at the South.
( The fifteenth amendment is inopera
tive in Mississippi, The North know,
that and acquiesces in it, but let Gov
Vardaman get to the Senate, and tr,
to rub it in" on the North. and he
will likely precipitate an issue that vii
do Mississippi little good. His eIo
quence tells with "the red necks an,
hill-billies, " but THE United State
Senate is very different theater from
the stump of Mississippi pine tree.
If the governor should come to tn,
Senate he will introduce the Joint reso
luton Of repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment. That will be the end of it. No
body knows that better than the gov
ermor, but it is little he will care 70
the Senate if he can muster maiorit,
in the approaching primary.
1t is not the fifteenth amendment
that is on trial; it is the State of Mis-
sissippi. Washington Post.

not only the Baptist people were in
deepest sympathy with the family and
friends who had been so suddenly bereft
of one so dear to their hearts. Other
churches also joined their sorrowing
sister. Yea it was the sympathy of
our common citizenship. Respectfully
and sadly we laid him to rest in the
fond hope that one day we shall meet
him in that realm where sorrow never
enters May the God Of all comfort,
graciously comfort the bereaved family
is the earnest prayer of all their friends.
He chose this path for thee
No chance or hard relentless fate
But love-His love has placed their footsteps
here
He knew the way was rough and desolnte.
Knew how their heart would often sink with
fear:
Yet tendcry he whispered, Child see this
path 10 best for thee"

actually eaten alive at Meridian but or
the contrary is able to make speeches
every day. Nosuch physically enomena

making speeches, but making them as
