A Great Sale.

Enterprise and advertising are rap
idly making the establishment of S.
Selig one of the most popular and
successful trading centers in this city
Placed under the management of
Mr.. Harry Selig only a few years ago
he has revolutionized the system and
methods of doing business, and today
his store is enjoying as fine trade
as is enjoyed by any store in Column
bus. Mr.. Selig recognizes the value
of advertising, and does not hesitate
to invest freely in this field, realiz-
ing handsome returns and results
from every investment he has made
Recently in New York he ran across
one of the really great opportunities
which that metropolis presents and
he scooped the whole line, paying
cash and rushing the shipment to his
store here. 1t embraces perhaps the
handsomest line of silks, linens, laces,
fancy waistings, etc, ever brought TO
this city, and the prices at which they
are offered are sure to crowd the
store on next Wednesday, when the
sale begins. The people of the coun-
try will be given an opportunity at
this sale, for it will not begin until
the advertising matter is we'll be-
fore them, and it will repay trip to
this city to see the bargains.
Look at the handsome page adyer-
tfsement in this issue and be on hand
next Wednesday. The sale begins
then and lasts ten days.

WASTED SYMPATHY.

The Hattiesburg News comes
squarely out in opposition to the par
doning of William Startling, the for
mer cashier of Greenville bank,
who is now under five year sentence
for embezzlement, says the Jackson
News. After reviewing the case the
News says:
In the past, when the court de-
creed that man should be punished
for crime, there was no appeal and
short shift was made of the convicted
man, just as it should be today. SYM
pathy is wasted on criminals of the
class of Starting, and it is to be sim
cerely hoped by every law-respecting
citizen of the State that the petition
for commutation of sentence in this
and all criminal cases where a con-
viction is had will find its way into
the waste basket of the executive Of
flee. Startling is no more entitled to
execute clemency than the man who
corrupts the youth with his vicious
blind tiger concoction. Both are yio-
lators of the law, and if you condone
one crime, why not the other. May
as well sympathize with the man who
murders his wife and children or the
fiend who despoils the chastity of
woman. They are all crimes, so
why condone one and not the other?'
This is strongly and ably put.
There is no good and sufficient rea-
son why Startling should have his SEN
tence commuted to one years impris-
onment in the Washington county
jail. That he belongs to a good fam
lily is no argument. The fact that he
was high up socially should be all
the more reason why he should be
punished for his wrong doing, be-
cause he should have known better.
AS long as men in high social and
escape the punishment of the law,
just SO long will there be a general
contempt for law on the part of the
masses. Generally sympathy for the
criminals is wasted. Not only is it
wasted, but when it eventuates in les
sening the rigors of the law it has
contributed to breaking down the
law People will sign almost any
thing if they are asked to, and it
costs no money. The news has no
idea what the governor is going to do
in the premises, but it knows, if the
best interests of the State are con-
suited, that the original sentence of
the lower court, confirmed by the
supreme court, will be carried out.

Harmful Stomach Dosing.

The best physicians believe that
the less medicine one swallows the
better. Do not try to cure catarrh of
the head by dosing the stomach; this
is neither common sense nor scien-
tific. Breathe Hyomei, and its medi-
cation will go right to the spot where
the catarrhal germs are present and
free the system from all catarrhal
poisons.
Mayo & Weaver have seen so many
cures of catarrh made by Hyomei,
some of them chronic and complicat-
ed cases, that they give an absolute
guarantee of cure or money will be
refunded with every outfit they sell.

May be I25,0O0 Votes Cast.
A special from Jackson says:

According to members of the DEM
ocratic State executive committee
who are in the city today, the regis
tration of voters for the State pri-
maries in August is phenomenally
heavy, especially in the rural pre-
cints, and the prediction is freely
made that from 1900 to 5000
votes will be polled.
Heretofore the highest estimate of
the probable vote in the first primary
has been lis, 900, but in many coun-
ties the registration has increased
more than twenty per cent, which
may be taken to mean that the white
Democrats are manifesting a very
lively interest in the election, espec-
tally in the senatorial and guberna-
toria1 contests.
Perry county, for instance, polled
! only 1,242 votes in the election four
years ago, but is expected TO come
forward with more than 1000 votes
in the approaching event Similarly
Harrison county polled only 1919
votes in 1908, but now has a regis
tration of over 1900.
The total vote for governor four
years ago, in the first primary, was
9S,735, apportioned as follows: Var
daman, So .679; Critz, 34,S13; Noel,
24,233. There has of course been
decided growth of population since
that event, consequent increase in
the registered vote, while public in
terest in the present contests is much
more lively than in that of four years
ago. The estimate of 10000 votes
therefore does not appear unreason-
able, nor would it be surprising if it
goes to 125,000 votes.
Voters have until the 5th of July
to register for the primaries, and in
perhaps one-half the counties new
| registrations have been ordered for
the purpose of getting the books alb
so1utely correct. The registration has
been heavier in the rural districts
than in the towns, because of the fact
| that the registrars have been touring
their respective counties with the
books for the purpose of giving the
country voters an opportunity to
qualify, while the voters who reside
in the towns, especially at the county
seats, can register at any time prior
to July 5th, and many invariably wait
until the last week to qualify.

quest of Gov. Vardaman that he be
appointed inspecting officer for the
coming encampment.
The encampment will be held in the
Marx and Heard addition in the east
ern section of the city. The tents
will be pitched in the field just north
of the pavilion at Washington Park
and the open field between the track
leading to this park and the main
line of the street railway The phys

are ideal, the drill ground being level,
while tine grove where the tents are
to be is cool and shady.
The encampment VIII continue ten
days from the date of beginning, and
during its progress the Columbus
baseball team will play four games at
home, playing against Jackson on
August 9th and 7th and against Gulf
port on August 18th and 10th. The
camp ground is within a stones S
throw of the baseball park, and it
is more than probable that practic-
ally all of the soldiers will attend
every game that is played during
their stay here.

to support Teddy on account of his
attitude in the Brownsville riot inves-

finally taken in the premises is a
matter of indifference to the white
people of the State. They know that
either Roosevelt, Taft or Foraker will

equally obnoxious, as they all favor

BISHOP SATTERLEE AND THE
FRO-AMERICANS.

At the recent session of the DiOces-

Bishop Satterlee devoted a consider
able portion of his annual address to
the color question" and the relation
of the Protestant Episcopal church to
the Afro-American.
In order to form clear conception
OF the Bishops train of reasoning. the
fact must be steadily kept in view
that, according to his theory, the
Episcopal church is THE CHURCH"
and note must be taken Of the fact
that he alludes to another well-knoWn
organization as "the Msthcdists,'' but
does not mention that body as even
CHURCH. This classification, Of course,
leaves ''the church with the vast
problem of evangelizing body of ,oeo-
pie greatly exceeding itself in mum.

In his address Bishop Satterlee, re
ferring to the Afro Americans said:
THE most ignorant of them think
that by standing for their political
rights as 'fellow-citizens, they are go

equals, and. therefore. many of these
act with blatant self-assertion and an
assumption of equality whenever the
4ornortunity offers in public or private,
Others dream that they will break down
the color line by becoming household
ers; and. therefore are buying up all
the land they can pay for; others sup

Out in Seattle where the color line

committee, composed of alleged Chris
tians has voted to draw the color line
and the hotels have refused to reserve

Afro-American bishops and delegates
to the G. E. convention to be held If
that city in July to stay away from
the convention and the city.
THE APPEAL endorses the position
of the Seattle Afro Americans and sug

not only give Seattle wide berth, but
that they have nothing further to dc

J. G. Phelps Stokes spoke with
good-humored regret at a dinner in
New York of a charity that had failed.
But it failed through it's own fault, .
said Mr.. Stokes. TT failed because it
was mistaken. It suggests to me an
experience of a friend of mine in Ire
land. My friend, at about this sea-
son last year, was motoring through a
remote region of Ireland and one day
he came upon poor old woman seat
ed with all her humble furniture about
her in the middle of the road before
her little cabin. My friend was pro-
foundry moved. Here before his very
eyes an eviction, a real Irish eviction,
was taking place. He got out of his
car and he gave the Old woman s5

ject through the possession of wealth
and others still aim for equality by be-
ing educated in schools and colleges
entering upon the learned professions
and having university degrees attached
to their names
Any sensible man can readily see
from the foregoing enumeration of the
improper methods in vogue among the
members of this "depraved race" to
''coerce recognition as social equals
that it's evangelization is serious
task for even "a true descendant of
the Apostolic Church"
When Afro-Americans are guilty of
such enormous crimes as becoming
householders. buying all the land they
can pay for, being educated in schools
and colleges, entering upon the learn
ed professions and having university
degrees attached to their names and
are addicted to transacting such vii
lainies as common sinners dare not
NEEDLE in, the outlook is more, depress-
ing than the prophets survey Of the
Valley of Dry Bones.
1t will take some one greater than
even Bishop Satterlee to convince us
that these evidences, stated by him
of the Afro-Americans' progress, are
in any wise reprehensible or improper.
The people whom the worthy Bishop
represents, when they, actuated by
the desires that cause any people
to do the things which he accuses the
AfrcAmerican of doing, do these
things, they are held up as examples
worthy of emulation by their fellow
men. AS Afro-Americans ARE the fell

Satterlee included, are willing to ad-

not be worth as much to them as to
