The best run on printing the HER
AIDS we have had since installing
the Power Press, was last week when
the job was accomplished in forty
five minutes and the machine was
not operating at its maximum speed.
Soon after putting the press in we
got the papers off in fifty-fiye min
utes, but had not been able to trim
the time back down to that limita-
ton since until the run above just
alluded to. The press is turning out
excellent printing now, it's very sat-
isfactory.

SOME of our readers-those who
have not picked the same candidate
as we--may have or will come to
think before the campaign closes that
we are pumping too hard for our
choice for governor. We want to ask
these to bear with us, and to think
the thought, how agreeable it might
be to you were we working for the
man who has your espousal. Be
charitable, and recognize the fitness
of things. Some day we may be
laboring just as zealously as we now
are, for some person desiring politi-
cal honors upon whom you have set
your heart. Then how pleasing it
will be to you. This is the only way
politics will balance itself.

Canton Picket.

His fathers, like a great many
other estates in the south, was lost
during the civil war, and when hos
Utilities ceased the subject of this
sketch found himself thrown on the
world without any means whatever.
Under such conditions he was unable
to continue his education and had to
labor for his daily bread. He was
employed, first as messenger and
clerk and for a while afterward
taught school, reading law with him
self as teacher, and, being without
means to purchase law books, he had
to borrow them from friends. He
obtained his license before he was
twenty one years of age and prac-
ticed law, for short while in Tunica
county. That county being then I'M
develowed and the pIactice not very
large, he moved to Bolivar county on
June B, 1899 arriving there with but
little money in his pocket. He APP
piled himself to his profession and
rapidly acquired valuable practice,
to which he has devoted himself since
that time, and having prospered
there through whatever of ability he
may have, cou pied with hard work
and constant application. He in
vested all of his earnings in agri-
culture and is now, perhaps, the
largest in lividual cotton planter in
the world, and for the past few years
large part of his time has been oc-
cupied in giving his personal atten-
ton to his planting interests
Will you be persuaded to persuade
someone who is not subscriber to
usher the HERALD into their homes?
This will be a favor we will appre-
ciate.

Hattiesburg Progress.

Hattiesburg Progress.
The political and oratorical attrac-
ton in Hattiesburg yesterday was
Hon. Charles Scott, the Bolivar
statesman who is giving the nomi-
nation for governor a hard chase
against his five competitors.
Mr.. Scott arrived in the city yes
terday morning and spent the day
going over the city, greeting old
friends and making new ones. In the
afternoon he delivered an address in
the court room. He had large au-
dience, including many people from
the country, and his speech was lis
tened to with interest from begin
ming to end. He is not a glittering
speaker in the dramatic sense of the
word, but he has the faculty of the
lawyer, to make himself clearly I'M
derstood by the use of concise terms.
His speech here was much the same
as he has made in neighboring parts
of the state and he made many
friends in his exposition of his views
affecting matters of public veal.

1t is a mistake to suppose that
children will acquire good manners
when they are, as people phrase it,
"old enough" to understand their
propriety, if the observances of good
breeding are ignored or neglected in
the first four or five years. Mothers
sometime forget that the active and
receptive stage of child-life in the
nursery is never surpassed at later
period. The little one is taking i'm
pressions every moment, acquiring
gentle habits or the opposite, picking
up words and sentences, surprising
its elders by the facility with which
it learns what they would rather it
should not know. In the baby's home
the foundation is laid for the good or
bad manners of the mature man.

Poplarville Free Press.
The friends of Hon. harles Scott S
opponents are trying mighty hard to
make it appear that Mr.. Scott is
losing ground in his canvass for the
governorship. If it were true it
would be very gratifying to them,
but what is pinching so hard is the
fact that this is not true. No man
who has ever sized tip Charles Scott
and made up his mind to support him
will find any excuse to turn away
from him. We find that his sup
porters are supporting him because
of his splendid character and ability
and not because his opponents are not
good men. He is just simply their
preference among the six splendid
Mississippians who are candidates for
the Office. Mr.. Scott has done moth
ing since he entered the race to cause
his friends to think less of him, but
on the other hand he has conducted
his car,paign in digni6ed manner,
and has defended the assaults on him
by some of his opponents by pro-
ducing facts and figures and this pol
icy has met the approval of his
friends in all parts of the state. Mr..
Scott is well satisfied with the en-
couragement he has met so far and he
will continue to gain votes while his
opponents are hoping that he will

Look on the bright side. 1t is the
right side. The times may be hard
but it will make them no easier to
wear a sad, gloomy countenance 1t
is the sunshine and not the cloud that
makes the flower. The sky is blue ten
times when it is black once. You have
troubles; SO have others. None are
free from them. Trouble gives sinew

there was nothing to disturb the sur
