NOEL TO MISSISSIPPIANS
AN ADDRESS EXPRESSING HIS UNDY-
ING GRATITUDE.
He will Become Governor Without Sec
ret Pledge or Understanding
Of Any Kind"

To Mississippians:
The decision of the State Exec
utive Committee this day author
itatively, declares me the choice
of the Mississippi Democracy for
the highest Office within the gift
of its peope, the governorship.
This choice is equivalent to eIec-
ton. Those who gave, during
the final test, their loyal, tireless
and active support to what my
candidacy represents, will have
my undying gratitude. No effort
of mine shall be spared to make
good their expressed confidence.
To you all, especially to those who
are with me, / shall look for sup
port and counsel in the discharge
of the difficult and highly impor-
tant duty.
With conscientious regard for
the public welfare, each official
obligation will be met as it may
arise. AS to official appointments,
my position has been made clear
by public utterances. | will be-
come governor without any secret
pledge or understanding of any
kind as to any office-itness shall
be the supreme test. When an
applicant of equal, or superior
merit is endorsed by those who
supported me, their choice shall
become my choice. No person
nor enterprise that meets its tax
and other state obligations, lives
within the law, and uses fair
business methods will have any
reason to regret my election. The
powers entrusted to me shall be
ever welded in an honest endeavor
to give to all persons an equitable
share in the benefits as we'll as the
burdens of government.
The canvass was long, trying
and difficult. Those whose con-
trolling political impulse is that
or Delng on the winning side,
went against US solidly. How.
ever, by each mans faithful per-
formance of duty as he saw it we
won a great victory. Obstacles
were greater in some counties
than in others, but every vote
counts alike. Those who gave
earnest work to reduce majorities
in counties from which nothing
else could be hoped for, equally
share in bringing success.
The press, with help altogeth-
er unselfish and patriotic so far
as effective to me, largely con-
tributed to our victory. For
those who supported me, one and
all, wherever they may be, I again
extend my heartfelt thanks, and
assure them that no one appre-
ciates the honor more, nor will
strive harder to deserve the con-
fidence imposed.

The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1907-09-04

There was but one Smith nom-
mated for a seat in the House of
the next Mississippi Legislature
by the recent primaries the Hon.
G. R. Smith, of Cleveland, Boli-
var county. The next House will
be the first in over twenty years
with only one Smith among its
membership. To make up for
the loss of Smiths there will be
four spelndid gentlemen in the
House by the name of Jones, two
being from Union County. 1t
has been the custom always to
designate gentlemen Of the same
name, on the roll call, by adding
the name of the county as follows:
Jones, of Union" clones of
Franklin;" etc., but with two
from the same county the desig-
nation will have tc be made by
giving the initials. There will
be two Johnstons in the House,
with two Robinsons and one
Robertson; two BENEFITS and two
Andersons. .-Greenville lie Dem

MANSHIP THANKS VOTERS.
Issues a Letter to the VOterS-- Manly At
titude Taken by Victor TOwrrd Van
quiShed in Hard Fight
for Votes.

Hon. Luther Manship, who was
nominated for lieutenant COVER
nor over Hon. Wiley N. Nash
winning by majority of nearly
1000 votes, has issued the follow,
ing letter of thanks to the people,:
To the Democratic voters of
Mississippi: l desire to say a
few words expressing my thanks
to the people of my native state
for the splendid support accorded
me in the recent primaries, ex-
tending to everybody, voters
and candidates, whether for or
against, me, my gratitude for this
manifestation of their favor.
I shall try very hard to merit
the kind confidence which | am
sure the splendid majority given
me fully indicates. During the
ninety days or more that / was
engaged in the canvass for lieu
tenant governor, | was unable to
visit more than twenty of the sew
enty eight counties of the state.
Upon reflection, ! am persuaded
that if | had stayed at home |
might have Jared better, for, by
actual count, more of the counties
that | did not visit gave me good
maiorities than those | did visit.
"The only regret | have is
that / was called on to defeat the
two splendid gentlemen who op-
posed me, both of whom | esteem
very highly, and whom / am
proud to call my personal friends.
Very sincerely,
LUTHER MANSHIP. =

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN LEFLORE.

son KILLING.

Greenwood, Miss, Aug. 3d.
James Money, Jr., was instantly
killed and James Money, ST.,
mortalIy wounded at Money,
Miss, today. The details of the
terrible tragedy have not been
received, but it seems that it was
the outcome of the killing of L.
J. Henderson by James Money,
Jr., some months ago. Grover
Kirby did the shootoing today.
He is brother of Mrs. Hender-
sou, the widow of the man killed
by young Money.
The tragedy occurred at
o'clock this afternoon, the partici-
pants standing on the front steps
of their places of business, which
adjoin. Nothing is known as to
how the trouble started, but re
ports are that Kirby was toe
quick for the Moneys, and with q
rapid-fire gun fired four or five
shots without the Moneys being
able to reply. James Money, Jr.,
was instantly killed at the first
fire, and his father, seizing a rife,
went to the rescue, and as soon as
he appeared on the gallery, Kir.
by got the drop on him, mortally
wounding him.
Colonel Money is being brought
to the hospital here, and the body
of young Money is also en- route
here.
Justice D. P. Montgomery, be
ing on the ground, will hold al
inquest.
Governor Vardaman is er
route from Jackson on specia

tives.

Gov. Vardaman has pardoned
the Caterberry brothers, Abel
and Bud, who we're convicted
some months ago in Smith County
for assault and battery with in
tent to kill. They were convicted
after long and hard fought bat
tie in the Circuit Court Of Smith
county, in which United States
Senator McLaurin was leading
counselor for the defense, and
sentenced by Judge BuIIard to
seven years imprisonment. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, which late in the last term
affirmed the lower court, since
which time the two men have been
on the Rankin Farm. The par
don is issued after investigation
into all the facts by the Governor,
and upon the recommendation of
the Circuit Judge and others con-
versant with all the facts.

IMPORTANT TRUCK GROWERS MOVE.
MENT.

|
noon at 4 O'Clock of those interest
ed in the truck industry, is a
movement of great possibilities
for the people of Brookhaven
and surrounding country.
Taken year after year truck
growing, as revenue producer,
has proved a great success and
blessing to Crystal Springs,
Gallman, Madison and other
points in Mississippi where it has
been intelligently carried on for
years. Truckers around Crystal
Springs are clearing hundreds of
dollars per acre on tomatoes, cab
bage, beans, etc, every year, and
then, after these crops have been
gathered and sold, the same land is
planted in Mexican June corn or
cotton and as good or better crops
of cotton or corn raised as our
Lincoln farmers grow on the land
where no cabbage or tomatoes
have been raised. The truck
crops, too, bring large
amount of cash, ready money into
circulation when without them,
there would be dearth and buy
ing on credit.
The lands and seasons around
Brookhaven are in all respects as
favorable to truck growing as
they are around Crystal Springs,
and there can be no sufficient
reason why truck growing cannot
be carried on just as successfully
here as there or any where else
in Mississippi. The market for
good vegetables is practically
without limit and remunerative
prices seem assured for the future.
The first essential is for those
to come together who are willing
to enlist in the truck industry,
organize and work together on
the cooperative plan with ref
erence to securing needed ship
ping facilities, favorable freights,
seed, etc., and start in with the
determination to make success
of the undertaking.
Iti very much desired that all
who feel any interest in this sub
iect should attend the meeting
next. Saturday. 1t is not neces-
sary for any one to go into the
business at first on a large scale
or stake all he has on it; but if
every farmer and gardener within
three or four miles of Brookhaven
would join the association and
start by putting an acre or two
in tomatoes, beans or cabbage
next year, splendid start could
be made the first year.
The Leader is pleased to learn
that several families of truckers
who have been in the business at
Crystal Springs, contemplate To-
eating near Brookhaven, because
land can be secured here on more
profitable terms.
Much depends on the interest
shown by our people at next Sat
urday's meeting.
