misrepresented on this question; that
he meant the best class Of italians.
Mr.. So OFT may have meant this,
and for the sake Of argument We con.
oede this was what he meant, still The
question with rs il. where will he
get them! We do not want to be IN
derstood rs saying that there are no
good Italians. What we mean IL that
they do not come to this country Ia
big ship-loads. On the contrary, We
oftener get the criminal class. We
see this class settling up the state Of
Louisiana, causing so much trouble
that the state can't run them down as
fast as they 90 from one crime to an
other.
Look at the kidnapping Of the eight
year -old son Of Lamana, one Of their
own fellow countryman's child, and
the mystery that surrounds the crime,
and the inability Of the city and state
officials to find out anything about
who perpetrated the heinous offense
And done in the great city of New
Orleans, where there are hundreds Of
police and detective officers as we'll az
sheriffs. constables, etc.
The truth is that the Italians who
come south are either Of the Malta OF
Black Hand gang or become one
shortly after they reach this country,
two Of the worst organizations known
to criminalogy. Away with them
The negro is bad enough without
their help Turn both loose on the
south and crime would run rampant.
No, sir, Mr.. Scott, You can't escape
from the dilemma You have placed
yourself in and you must stand or fall
on the issue made by you - Meridian
Sun.
Since the above WAS penned by the
editor Of the Sun the Lamana child
has been found with his head out of
and his body in the Mississippi river
The able editor Of the Sun is right.
The south does not need this class oil
immigration, and this is the class
that is being daily unloaded by steam
ships at the big immigration ports,
OF course there are some good ones,
but the vast majority are criminallJ
inclined and have no respect for Goo
or law.-Jackson Democrat.

recently contributed to Harper's

Why Should John Sharp Williams
Be Elected as United States
Senator?
(From the jackson Daily News, Jul

From the Jackson Daily News, June
a..
Because he is one of the nation'i
great men, and will one day rank with
the great senators of America. Gov.
ernor Vardaman. has said so over his
own signature.
The question is being frequently
asked now why the people should
elect John Sharp Williams as United
States Senator. We wish to intro
duce as q witness to his superior
qualifications for the position the
written testimony of Governor James
&. Vardaman, given at q time when
the cup of his ambition had been
filled to overlooking by his election as
governor Of Mississippi, and before
his Judgment became cloudsd by the
desire for his own election.

at Glendeane last Saturday. He is a

they have perfect right to look after
their own interests and get all they can
for their tobacco. He wants to see
them stick together and keep the price
Of tobacco as high as possible. "Our
company" he said, would much
rather pay a profitable price to the far

for is to buy it as low as our COMPETE

see to it that the crop is kept down;
they should combine the acreage and if
they can do this prices are sure to keep
