GHAs. SCOTT At HlckoRY.
Business Men Show Inter-
est in Him BY Closing
Their Stores.

Special to the Herald.
Hickory. Miss. April 30.-Hon. Chas-
Scott. candidate for governor, spoke to
a large audience Of business men. farm
ers and ladies here this afternoon. The
business men showed their interest in
Mr.. Scott by closing up their stores t'r
the occasion.
Mr.. Scott said he favored the right
kind of immigration, but he opposed
bringing into our state the scum OF Eu-
ropean cities as much as amy OF his COM
petitors. He said the Italian farmers
on his plantation were thrifty. indus
trious, law-abidiug and peaceable. and
much more desirable as laborers than
the vicious, idle und criminal me-
groes, who became more criminal every
year. He said. however, that he did
not propose to attempt to iorce any
kind OF immigrants upon people who
did not desire them, and that he was
merely experimenting with Ital,ans from
the farms of northern italy for the rea-
son chat he and other people of the delta
were badly in need Of labor to take the
place of the black peril.
He said he realized the necessity oi
curbing and controlling the powerful
public service corporations, such as
railroads, and that the people should
compel them to carry both freight and
passengers at reasonable charge, but
favored live and let live policy. he
would like to see every county cut up
with a net work OF railroads for the
benefit of the farmers in marketing their
products.
He favored more equitable distribu-
ton of the school finds, So that every
white teacher in the state would receive
the same salary for the same work.
Referring tn the charges that he hnd
been a local attorney for railroad, he
said that both Judge Truly and Senator
Noel had been railroad attorneys and
that Mr.. Sission is now local attorney
for the Illinois Central.
Referring to the hobby of Mr.. Sisson
that it was undemocratic for candi-
date to have "A platform; he said that IL
this was true that neither w. !. Bryan,
Governor Varuaman nor Congressman
Williams were Democrats, for they all
discussed questions outside Of the Dem
.ocrlf tic platform, as did also Thuinus
Jefferson himself.
He referred to all his competitors ms
gentlemen and said he he'd nothing to
ssy against any of them personally, but
they would have him TO beat IL they
win.
He has strong following here and
his speech was we'll received Mr.. Scott

YONUG MAN KILLED.

Switch Engine mangles body
Arnold Wellington Monday night
April 18th.
William Arnold Weddington,
the 16 year son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. M. Weddinton was run over
and his body mangled into frag-
ments by a switch engine in the
yards Monday night. He left
home about 8 o'clock to come to
the telephone Office where at nine
o'clock he was to take charge of
the switch and nothing was known
by the family to have happened to
him until after that hour inquiry
was made from the Office as to his
whereabouts. Immediately after
learning of him not having reach
ed the telephone Office his parents
began a search, believing some ac-
cident had happened to him as he
was very punctual in being at his
post of duty promptly. Soon it
was learned that his magled body
had been found near the round
house.
The remains were brought to
the undertaking establishment and
prepared for interment.
He was young man well liked
by every one in town and the ac-
cident was a shock to all.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church Wednesday
morning, Rev. 1. M. Woodward
officiating. Many beautiful floral
tributes were placed on grave in
Mount Olive cemetery.-Hugo

CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY.
Frank A. Montgomery
Camp U. D. G. Cele-
brates Birthday.

The Frank A. Montgomery Chap
ter U. D. c., celebrated its 9th an
niversary, at the residence of Mrs.
Walter Sillers, where it began its
existence-on Monday afternoon,
April 20th.
It was a beautiful day, and the
large. cool parlor hall, and vesti-
bule we're effectively decorated in
the beloved Confederate colors.
Beautiful red and white roses fill
ed numerous vases, and were put
i'll every available place. Broad
red and white ribbons and red and
white bunting were intertwined
and 'festooned from the walls
to the chandeliers, terinin-
ating underneath the latter
in graceful bows and streamers.
Small Confederate flags were placed
wherever needed to brighten the
walls aud nanttes, and gracefully
draped over the hall arch-wa y
were three large representatives
of "Old Glory. The whole pre-
senting a charming. bright and
picturesque scene.
A goodly number of ladies as
sembled at the appointed hour,
and the programme was carried
out with spirit, and evident enjoy
ment to all present.
DIXIE, played as a duet, by
Misses Mary Sillers and May Pearl
Scott, was enthusiastically received
-as it will ever be in the South
land, even when not rendered SO
creditably as by these young girls.
The president, Mrs. John Gill,
made all interesting little address,
giving a sprightly account OF
What the Frank A. Montgomery
Chapter Has Accomplished in Its
Short Life of Six Years.
Mrs. Frank Chatching, then
sang that pathetic war-song,
lust Before the Battle, Mother, "
bringing tears to the eyes of all
who heard her sweet voice.
The reading of the beautiful essay
upon The Life Of Gen. Robt. E,
Lee, Soldier and Christian gentle
man." by Miss Coralie Lobdell,
came next, after which Mrs. Gill
presented to Miss Lobdell, the gold
medal awarded her, by the Chap
ter for the best essay upon that
subject. The essay was heartily
applaudid, and the young author
received many compliments and
congratulations.
"Tenting On the Old Camp
Ground" was then sung by Mrs.
Frank Catching and Miss Fadgie
Montgomery.
Mr.. M. B. Sillers was then pre-
vailed upon to give some reminis-
cences of the war, which she did i'll
the the delightful manner, bring
lug forth repeated tributes of en-
joyment from all present, and loud
applause when she took her seat.
Mrs. Mary E. Snipes, president
of the Gunnison Chapter U. DC.
or that name, was called upon next,
for "a talk. She declined Civ
ing any personal remininces, they
being too painful for her to wish
to recall, but she read very pleas
ing paper, very complimentary to
the F. A. Montgomery Chapter.
(of which she was formely men,
ber), and paying an eloquent trib-
ute to the gallant soldier whose
name it bears.
Mrs. Frank Catching, again,
most kindly sang beautiful song

A STARTLING STATEMENT.

Bellevue New York hospital
specialists from time to time make
some startling statements. And
now comes DR.. Dana, who declares
that the arms of women are becom
ing mere anatomical vestiges-an-
cestral relics, like the vermiform
appendix, and in time may disap-
pear altogether, and be replaced by
wings or fins. DR.. Dana is a nerve
specialist, and has been making a
study of brachial or shoulder and
arm neuralgia. He has discovered
that the arms of society women are
falling into disuse and gradually
losing their power as members of
the body.
I have been stuck with the fact
that brachial neuralgia is seen
more frequently in women, par
ticularly those of the leisure class
es, said DR.. Dana. They have
not. perhaps. led idle lives, but
have never used their arms i'll do
mestic or material work. and have
generally been of nervous organ
ization; that is, of a well-evolved
type, and have been good livers.
So that venture to advance, with
some reservations, theory that
the arms of these modern women
are becoming quasivestigial, like
the appendix, the jejunum and the
last molar teeth" He thinks So
ciety women may, for long time,
have enough of an arm to feed
themselves and to do tip their hair.
Now, as the street Arab would
say, Wouldn't that jar you?"
Just to think of our future wives
and sweethearts going around
with fms like mermaids or with
wings like birds of paradise.
Wings would certainly be more
appropriate. for some of the dear
ones are almost angles now, God
bless 'em, If they had wings and
could soar, many lover might Of
ten truthfully say Of his sweetheart
that she was out of sight" Some
thing ought to be done, for men S
arms are bl fought into requisition
in more than one way. Let the
girls answer how Butto think Of
no reciprocal hug-only a. futter
Of wing on ones cheek. O!
doctor, why did you send this spec
ter into human hearts. No more
soft hands tc hold. No more sooth-
ing touch upon our feverish brows.
Isn't it awful to contemplate?
But, bless us, it might be econo-
mical in one sense, for there would
be no need of costly engagement
or wedding rings.
However, the American Farmer
has suggestion to make which
may be helpful. In view of the
fact that there is really no perfect
milking machine as vet, why
woulden't it be capital idea to set
the society girls to milking cows.
That's fine muscular work for the
hands and arms. They could be
taught this healthful occupation,
which would bring into use their
fast decaying members of the body.
Il would also bring color to the
cheek and clearness to the eye.

The Confederate Monument

Editor Democrat.
Will you kindly publish the en-
closed petition and also state i'll
your columns that it is desired that
a full, free and fair expression be
had from surviving ex-Confederate
soldiers in the county and that any
others whose names do not appear,
who endorse the sentiment express
ed in the petition are requested to
at once to write to me at Resedale,
authorizing the use of their names;
and, also that any who are in favor
of the monument will also write
me, in order that we may lay before
the Board of Supervisors the full
expression of the surviving soldiers
in the county.
Respectfully,
D. REINACH.
While deeply grateful for the
sympathy and loving remembrance
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and all other good
Southern women, we the under
signed ConfederateVeterans are op-
posed to the expenditure of public
money for the purpose of building
monument to the memory of the
Confederate dead buried within the
borders of Bolivar county because
we think.
First. The financial condition
of the county does not justify it.
Second. If the county is in f.
nancial condition to justify the ex-
penditure of as much as 81. 500 for
the comfort of surviving veterans
who are incapacitated for work and
are in needy condition.
Third. The erection of monu-
ments can neither add to nor SUBJ
tract from the recorded history of
the Confederate soldier.
