of our beloved state, and to his
great credit. For myself | have
endeavored to conduct my cam

best calculated to advance the
highest interests of the state and
all its people. Measures that
would rebound to the lasting
glory of Mississippi.
II have no feeling of unkind-

of the Democratic masses ready
now as at all times to advance
the cause of that great party and

A PARTING GLIMPSE OF BREWER.
DOdged Prohibition in the Saloon Town
of GreenviIIe.
Also DOdsed Answer to Story About
Picking Cotton for Scott.

Greenville, Miss, Aug. 21.-
Hon. Earl Brewer, candidate for
governor, addressed a fair sized
audience here tonight.
With, a few exceptions Mr..
Brewers speech was along the
same lines as all his speeches at
other points. The exceptions
may be noted as his reference to
The Vicksburg Herald, his con-
nection with the G. D. D. liquor
fight and statement regarding a
letter he had received from the
Greenville Noel Club.
During his speech he had occa-
sion to read an excerpt from the
Vicksburg Herald. He said he
desired to apologize to the audi
ence for mentioning that paper
and then proceeded to pay his re-
spects to it in no complimentary
terms. His TRADE, however, fell
fiat, for it was clearly apparent
that his audience was not in SYM
pathy with his sentiment.
Referring to the G. o. D. liquor
fight Mr.. Brewer claimed that
he was one OF the strongest sup
porters of the bill.
He ignored altogether any men
tion of his attitude on the prohi-
bition question.
! Chairman Toombs of the Noel
Club here addressed letter to
Mr.. Brewer prior to the speak
ing, asking him to declare himself
on the prohibition question, and
also answer the denial of his claim
to have picked cotton for Hon.
Charles Scott.
| Referring to the letter Mr..
Brewer said that he had received
such letter; that no doubt the
! questions had been carefully pre-
pared, and that he ibid not like
to fool with a loaded gun with
some other fellow at the shooting
end Of it, With these remarks
be passed up any further mention
of the letter.
The Noel Club had previously
addressed a letter to Hon. Charles
Scott asking him If it were true
that Brewer had picked cotton for
him, as he (Brewer) had alleged
in number of his speeches. Mr..
Scott's letter left the club no
other alternative but to put Mr..
Brewers name on the presidents S
Ananias list.
Mr.. Brewer spoke about an
hour. He was given very re-.
Ispectful attention and received
occasional applause by what few
followers he had at the meeting.
As vote-maker his address
had no effect. There has been d
decided change in sentiment in
this county in the past few days.
Brewers inability to answer salts
factorily many Of the reckless
charges he has made against his
opponent, or to substantiate many
of the things he has said about
himself has changed the minds Of
many honest voters who were at
first his supporters.

District Attorney j. B. Webb
publishes a graceful and patriotic
card in today's Leader accepting
his recent defeat-an expression
that does credit to his head and
heart, and which will doubtless be
received by all, whether his sup
porters or opponents, in the same
generous spirit it is uttered.
One of the highest tests of char
acter is the way a man bears re-
verses. Judged by this test,
Mr.. Webb has in him the true
metal, and to one of his bright
mind and dauntIess spirit, his late
defeat will only serve as a whole
some discipline for future success.

The announcement Of Hon.

ceed Hon. John Sharp Williams in

with his platform of principles, is
well worth reading. That a Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in
Mississippi should make State and
National Prohibition and the
amending of the Inter State Com
merce laws SO as to prohibit the
shipment Of liquor from a license
to Prohibition State, a plank in
his platform, is notabIesas an ev-
idence Of the onward march of
Prohibition sentiment throughout
the country.

| BREWER GIVES IT UP.
GIVES OUT A MANLY STATEMENT CON.
CEDlNG NOEL'S ELECTION.
he Compliments His Late Competitor
and Gracefully Accepts the Peo-
pies Verdict.
Revision of First Reports Increases
NOel's Majority.

jackson, Miss, August "a
Confirming the report of your
correspondent yesterday, Hon. E.
f. Noel, of Holmes county, has
been elected GovernoFsof Missis-
slppl by decisive majority of
9, ,297.
Revision and correction of the
figures as first sent in show gains
for Noel over the first reports,
and it is now certain that he has
been nominated by the above fig
ures. While the Official count of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee next Thurdsay may
change this result few votes,
it may be relied upon as approx
imately y correct.
This closes one of the most
memorable political contests in
the history of the state, and not
withstanding the fact that during
the last week partisan enthusiasm
has run high and that consider
able partisan feeling has been
aroused, now that the result is
known, friends of Mr.. Brewer
have accepted the result in good
feeling, and all unite in the opin-
ion that the state Will be safe in
tue hands OF the new chief exec
utive.
Mr.. Brewer has still further en-.
deared himself, not only to his
followers, hut to the penple of
the state generally by the manly
manner in which he accepted the
arbitrament of the ballot, and has
given out the following card, con-
ceding the election to Mr.. Noel:
Card from MIR. Brewer.
MIR. Noel has been elected By
a majority of the Democrats of the
state as their standard berarer. 1t
would be improbable and improp-
er for loyal party man to specu-
late upon any Of the causes which
iD his opinion may have contrib
uted to his defeat, but it is the
plain duty Of all Democrats to
cheerfully accept the verdict of
the people.
In no other way in Mississip-
pI, except by a solidly united
party, can white supremacy be
maintained, and that is para
mount and above everything else
with all true Mississippians. For
the thousands of noble men who
supported my candidacy so ar
IDENTITY and untiringly, / have no
words to express my emotion. My
deepest regret is for their disap-
pointment, but they are loyal and
true, not merely to me but to Mis-
sissippi, and will all earnestly
contribute their mite towards the
successful administration Of public
affairs under the guidance Of my
late opponent.
i have no criticism for those
who voted for him, but assume
they exercised their right of ftan-
|chise conscientiousIy for what
they believed we're patriotic rea-
sons.
1t would be gross alfectation
for me TO deny that | am disap-
pointed, but am now and have
always been contented to abide BIZ
lthe expressed will of the people.

PROOF OF THE PUDDING
is CHEWING THE BAG

The question whether the municipal
ownership Of the public utilities by
the city Of jacksonville is profitable
would seem to be settled by the roar
the council has raised because the
profits for the year are estimated TO
be only 1000 instead Of 100000 OF
last year We have heard so many
assertions that the ownership OF those
works cost the people of JacksonNllle
very heavily that it comes with almost
paralyzing force. this undisputable
evidence that the profit runs from nifty
T. a hundred thousand per annum IN
net cash. besides the equal amount
spent in extensions and Improvements
which will ultimately make good at me
rate of two dollars for One.-Tampa
Times.
