Candidate Brewer appears tt

Candidate Brewer appears to
have been shooting Oft bis
mouth" a little previously, ac-
cording to the Greenwood Enter
prise. 1t would appear that, at
the opening of the gubernatorial
campaign, the two Greenwood
papers, the Enterprise and the
Commonwealth, espoused Brew
er,s cause, but after the so-called
"Greenwood incident" both
dropped him "like a hot potato"
the Commonwealth espousing
the cause of Mr.. Noel and the
Enterprise advocating the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Scott. Paying no
attention to the change of base
in the policy Of the Common
wealth, Brewer boiled over at
the desertion of his cause bNthe
Enterprise and among other Be
marks gave utterance toflone To
the effect that cit is common talk.
on the streets of Greenwood that
Mr.. Scott paid the Enterprise.
$3.50 to flop"
Mr. HI B. Dixon, editor of the
Enterprise, naturally took excep-
tons to this statement, denied it
through his paper, proved by af-
fidavit that Brewer had made it,
proved by dozens of Greenwood's
representative citizens that the
remark had not been made on
the streets of that fair little city,
and in the issue of the Enterprise
of July 18th, concludes an edito-
rial on the subject with the fol.
lowing paragraph;
1t is also evident that some
body has lied, and it is up to Mr..
Brewer to prove an alibi. I'm
less he can produce the lying
scoundrel who told him that it
was "common talk on the streets
of Greenwood that Mr.. Scott
paid The Enterprise $4,000 to
support him." If such a person
exists, then he, Earl Brewer him
self, stands branded as a mali
cious and Infamous. liar.

marks on the immigration ques
ton, factions speak louder than
words, and the following signed
statement by the Mayor of Fri.
ars' Joint, Coalrora County.
speaks for itself:
Friars Point, Miss,
June 9Th, 1907,
Mr.. }. G. Youngblood,
Cascilla, Miss.
My Dear Sir:-I am in receipt
of your valued favor inclosing
letter from our mutual friend,
Hon. Chas. Scott, and take pleas
ure in giving you the information
requested.
I find from examination that
the Hon. Earl Brewer bought a
tract of very fine land contingent
to Friars Point, and leased for a
term of years q considerable por-
ton OF same to Italian laborers,
this being prior to Mr.. SCOTS
importation of this class of labor.
He has sold this property, but
the tenants are still holding I'LL
der their five year lease.
"If | can be OF further service
to you, command me. Mr.. Scott
looks like a cinch, and if the
good work continues, it will sim
ply mean, by what majority he
wins. With kindest regards, |
beg to remain. Yours truly
JAMES A. SUDDoTH.
From The foregoing it would
appear that this very honorable
ex judge of Mississippi's Su-
preme Court as well as candidate
Brewer are considerably more in
the mire on the immigration
question than is the Hon. Chas.
Scott.

ued a brave and loyal soldier un-
I'll the war was over, and in 1866
he returned to Virginia and mar
ried Martha Elizabeth Chambers.
He now made his heme in South

The lives of most men can be
sumed up III a few words, but
the character Of MI. Willirms
deserves many for it reaches deep
down into the philosophy of life.
Here was a man, who during
a long lite time, walked ever in
the ways OF integrity and honor.
When duty called he responded.
In affection he was good, kind
aud patient. In hospitality, he
was a prince among southern
gentlemen. He was a good man,
a good citizen, a good husband,
father and friend. Without
great learning, he had what
learning cannot bestow. for he
was one OF natures noblemen.
Like Senator Morgan, he died
with the harness on, active to
the last.
lie was a Mason and was bur
led with:Masonic honors. From
a standpoint OF worldly ambition,
his lite was not a success, as
some count success, but viewed
in the light OF truth, it a a
great success and worthy of imi>
tation. He who maintains a lof-
ty character may well say-"I
have erected for myself a monu
ment more enduring than mar
bic, and more lasting than brass"
A good man falls, why do we moan,
Or wipe the weeping eyes.

In honor Of Santa Maria della Neva, pa
tron saint of Calabria, Italians from all
sections of the city made yesterday a day
Of religious festivity. There was a special

parade In honor of the saint. which con-
formed closely to such parades in Calabria.
was formed. The line of march traversed
all the streets in the Italian section and
terminated at st. Lucy's Church. where a
MESA cantata was sung by the Rev. Peris
Alberoni, Of Foggia.
The feast, Santa Maria della Neve, is
held in reverence by Calabrian Italians.
on the fifth day of August. during the
reign of Pope Liberlus, the Blessed Virgin
appeared, they say. to an italian noble
man and his devout wife, and the Pope
asked them to build a church in her honor.
The visitation, Italian tradition holds, oc-
Cured, on Mount Esqullino, near Rome,
following a heavy fail of snow. The edifice
was built on the spot and is now called
Santa Maria Maggione. 1t is one of the
greatest s~anctuaries Of the BLESSED Virgin
in the world, and many miracles are said
TO have taken place there.
After these services in st. Lucy's
Church the religious parade formed with
the picture of the Madonna and young
girls of st. Lucy's parish, dressed in
white, In the lead. This parade followed
the line of the former demon stration and
was reverentIy watched by every Italian
with uncovered head.
Last night open house was the rule In
many Italian homes, the forma function
taking place in Social Hall, 80 Garside
street, where the Rev. Father Perotti and
the visiting clergymen held a reception.
A bandstand mad been erected in front
of the church, and during the evening the
two bands were stationed there, playing
alternately. about II o'clock the crowd
thinned out slightly, owing 10 the rain that
fell for a few minutes, but II quickly gath
cred again when the sidewalks dried.
The Calabrians did everything possible
to make the occasion as nearly as possible
like those held in Italy, All the way from
Seventh to Eighth avenue. on Sheffield
street, we're booths where italian chest
nuts, shelled hazel nuts and many colored
cakes were on sale, though, in some cases,
the more American watermelon and hoky-
pokey ware also prominently displayed.
From time TO time verders in white caps
and aprons from nearby bakeshops ran
through the streets with trays, loaded with
strange looking pastry, held high above
their heads.
Those in charge Of the celebration were
Saverlo Rizzolo, patrone; Frank Zarro, as
sistant patrone; Angelo NJ. Niegaro, mar
shal of parade; Angelo NJ. Casieri, as
