EARL BREWER
Also Accepts Defeat---Writes
Letter to His Friends.

Clarksdale, Miss, Aug. "a Mr..
Noel has been elected by a majority
of the democrats Of the state as their
champion bearer 1t would be un-
profitable and improper for a loyal
party man to speculate upon any of
the causes which, in his opinion con-
tributed to his defeat, but it is the
plain duty of all democrats to cheer
fully accept the verdict of the people.
No other way in Mississippi, except
by solidly united party can supre-
macy be maintained, and that is
paramount and above everything else,
with all true Mississippians.
For the thousands of noble friends
who supported my candidacy SO ar
IDENTIFY and untiringly, I have no
words to express my emotion.
My deepest regret is their disap-
pointment; bu5 they are loyal and
true, not merely to me, but to Missis-
sippi, and will all honestly contribute
their mite towards the successful ad-
ministration of public affairs under
the guidance of my late opponent
have no criticism for those who
voted for him, but assume the ex-
ercised their right of franchise con-
scientiously for what they believed
were patriotic reasons.
1t would be gross affectation for
me to deny that am disappointed,
but am now and have ever been con-
tent to abide by the expressed will of
the people. | have enjoyed the friend
ship of Mr.. Noel for many wears, and
the recent conflict has not diminished
my high regard for him; and hearth.
ly join with his supporters in the hope
that his administration of the high
Office to which he has been nominated
will rebound to the honor and welfare
of our beloved state, and to his great
credit.
For myself, l have endeavored to
conduct my campaign on the high
plane of principle and have advocated
only those measures which in my
Judgment, after mature study and
deliberation were measures calculated
to advance the highest interest of the
state and all its people; measures that
would rebound to the lasting glory OF
Mississippi.
| have no feeling of unkindness to
anyone ranking in my soul as to the
result of the election, but unreserved-
ly join in the ranks of the democratic
masses, ready now as at all times, to
advance the cause of that great party
and to aid in the material progress,
upbuilding and development of my
native state. EARL BREWER.

A Tribute of Fond and Tender
Regard.

We were made to feel sad on hear
ing of the death of our dear friend
and sister. Mrs. Beulah Burns, of
Burns, Miss. Sister Benlah was
reared near our home in Rankin
county, went to school with our
children, and was loving playmate
and faithful friend to them. She
was member of one of the best
families in that community-Brot
and Sister Harvey Story. She was a
favorite Of ours, and although, of
another Christian denomination, she
frequently called us 'Hel preacher, ;"
and took great delight in hearing us
preach, and in giving us encourage
ment. We always enjoyed her kind
ness and friendship and always found
her the same sweet spirited girl at
home Rnd abroad. Her sweet voice
sonndslstill in our ears and her sweet
kindness plays over our hearts in i'm
agination as the gentle zephyrs play
over the landscapes. Her life and
Christian character will ever hang
upon the walls of our memory as one
of the brightest pictures OF noble
womanhood. Our hearts 60 out in
Christian love and sympathy toward
the broken hearted husband and
children. May God bless this sad be-
reavement to their eternal good. May
it leave something upon the heart Of
the husband that will lead him closer
to the savior and help him to prepare
to meet this loved one in the open
plains Of the paradise Of God, on the
sunlit hills of glory.
May God bless and tenderly care for
the orphan children, and may both
husband and children know that we
stand ready and willing to love and
serve them in anyway we can. We
could not do otherwise so long as the
"Sweet Memory" Of dear BeuIah re-
mains embalmed in our hearts. God
bless and keep you. dear friends.
Yours in great affection,
w. P. and CORDELIA CHAPMAN.

Glastonbury Ahhev.

Glastonbury abbey is likely to have
more visitors than ever this year in
view of its coming under the auc-

change. The ruins are the center Of
legends which have been regarded by
historians as no less doubtful than
those of the kings Of Rome or of the
Trojan war. But the myths enshrine
many facts. A testy abbot was Tur-
stinus, the first Norman bishop. He
did not like the ancient Gregorian
music and babe his English monks
sing Partisan tones. Obedient in many
things. they could not give up their
old melodies. so the abbot summoned
Norman soldiers to coerce them. \
terrible riot ensued in the church, the

monks. After the conflict ended ar

THE UMPIRE.
How He Feels When the Excited Msb
Demands His Blood.

Demands His Blood.
Bob Emslie, the veteran umpire Of
the National league. was asked the
other day where he kept himself when
he wasn't on the ball field.
4 mind my own business" he re-
piled. But, say, here; come back.
didn't mean that in an offensive way.
It is literally true. l go away from the
field and try to forget all about my
business"
"But what meant" said his friend,
'was that a baseball umpire seems to
be such a general outcast from all
humankind that l have frequently
wondered if he didn't creep into a hole
as soon as the last man was out and
remain there until the bell rings for
the next game"
"NOt at ALL" was the reply. "The
baseball umpire goes to his dressing
room when the game is over. changes
his clothes and leaves the field to min
gle with his fellow men just as the
ball player does, for, understand this
/ don't believe there is a man umpiring
who doesn't do his level, conscientious
best. Therefore, when the game is at
an end, whatever may have marked
the progress of the game, he has a
clear conscience and is in much better
condition to enjoy his dinner than
some of those who have treated him
like a crook during the game"
"Tell me-" Emslie was asked, "how
a man feels in the middle of an arena
with 10000 people on all sides reviling
him, calling him robber and demand
ing his blood"
Emslie smiled.
IF he's a new man In the business,
he probably feels scared" was the re-
ply. IF he has had experience, he
feels inclined to smile, for he knows
that they don't mean 1t; that they are
wrought up with a desire for their
home club to win and are therefore
pardonably prejudiced. But, whether
old or new in the business the consci-
entious umpire steels himself against
any loss of nerve by the feeling that
he has done his best in rendering the
decision that is criticised, and he is for
tilted further by the knowledge that he
was closer to the play than any one
save the players and therefore knows.
81 think the thing that gets an UNI
plre most is to have old friends among
the players jump on him. OF course
he expects his best friend to protest
If a decision on a close play is against
him, but when it comes to profanity
and that sort Of thing an umpire, be-
ing a human being feels just as you
would. It's a hard Job at best, but l
guess no harder than any other, and
when a man does his best he finds sat
isfaction in that which outweighs all
the jeers, Kisses and groans. You may
get a notion of how effective is that
philosophy when you consider how few
baseball umpires ever answer back or
give any sign that the protests of the
players or the shouts Of the crowd
have been noticed by them. New

eeneraI Jackson Ike Lemona.

"Just now" an old Confederate sol
dier recently remarked, "a very popu-
lar expression of rather indefnable
meaning is to say that one was hand
ed a lemon but literally you could
not have better pleased Stonewall
Jackson. General Jackson's fondness
for lemons was something remarkable,
and he was never without them if they
could possibly be obtained. Very often
during the war they were not to be
had. and he missed them greatly. When
be could get hold of one-and every
one in his command knowing his fond
ness for them was always on the look
out for the fruit-he would bite off the
end and suck happily until the pulp
was quite dry."-Harper's Weekly.
