He himself supervises the working
details OF every department.
He is model of strength and vitality
and since Peruna is the only remedy he
ever makes personal use Of, his physical
condition is testimonial to the efficacy
OF Peruna Of greater value than could
be framed in words.
Dr. Hartman is one Of the few doctors
who take their own medicine and his
splendid physique and strength in his
old age are an eloquent argument for
Peruna very difficult to gainsay.
DR.. Hartman, being q farmer himself,
knows what the farmer needs and in
speaking Of Peruna to the farmer he
speaks to his own kind of people.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1907-07-25

Gov. Vardaman was conspicuous
by his absence. Our good friends
were loath to take the Reveille Sc
riously when it SO positively stated
that the governor would not meet
Mr.. Williams. A gaily decorated
hack waited i'll vain for his arrival.
Judge Truly startled his enemies
by stating that they will have no
part in his kingdom when he as
cends the throne. "Rewarding
friends" is bad, of course. We
have that condition now. But
furnishing enemies!' Great
Scott what does he mean?
The Natchez Democrat had the
following to say regarding the bar
becue:
+ "Several Natchezians went up to
Hermanville yesterday to attend
the barbecue and hear Congressman
Williams deliver his address at that
place. All of Claiborne and many
from neighboring. counties were on
hand, there being some four thou
sand people on hand.
"The Natchezians said that Judge
Truly, who was the first to speak,
received a very cordial reception.
In fact they said he caught the
crowd and that some two hundred
Jefferson county men were on hand
to hear him.
''But Congressman John Sharp
Williams simply won the crowd,
lock, stock and barrel. The bril-
liant Mississippian held his hearers
spellbound, just as he held the
crowd at the Baker Grand on Mon
day night.
Speaking of the barbecue and
entertainment, the Natchezians said
they never had better time in all
their lives. Claiborne county did
herself proud, and her citizens saw
to it that everybody had glorious
time.

A Former Claiborne Man.

A suit for personal injury in the
sum of $40, 900 was filed in the Of
fee of the circuit clerk here to-day,
in which ]. B. Foster, well-known
citizen of Edwards, is The plaintiff,
and the Postal Telegraph and Cable
Company is the defendant. The
declaration sets forth that OH June
goth Mr.. Foster was riding along
Jackson street, in the town afore-
said, and at certain point one of
the company's poles, supporting its
wires, came tumbling down, bring
ing with it the mass of wires.
Plaintiff was caught in this tangle,
as was the horse which he was rid
ing, the animal becoming fright
ened and bolting, at which plaintiff
was unseated by reason of the wires
becoming twisted ABOUT MS neck,
thrown from his saddle, and swung
into the air, with the wires about
his neck. He subsequently fell
and was badly injured, the effect of
which may be permanent, and in
view of the circumstances, which
he proposes to prove in court by
testimony, asks for the damages
named in the suit. The bill alleges
that the pole which was thus pros
trated had become rotten at the
base and unserviceable, and that
the oversight was due to culpable
negligence.

CANDIDATES AT MARTIN.
Two More Aspirants Added to List
of Speakers.

The candidates for representative
and foater repress, :tative met at
Martin at three O'Clock Saturday
afternoon and spoke to fair-sized
crowd of voters. At this gather
ing Hon. Stephen Thrasher and
Hon. I. w. Clark, our present SEN
ator and representative respective
ly, were added to. the list Here
tofore the only candidates address
ing the people were Messrs. Mecca
leb, Frierson and Anderson. Mr..
R. w. Magruder, candidate for
sheriff, also made a short talk.
The candidates for representa-
tive, Messrs. Clark and Anderson,
spoke first. They were followed
by Mr.. Frierson who, in lengthy
speech, unintentionally consumed
about all of the remaining time.
Mr.. Thrasher got to talk about five
minutes, but DR.. McCaleb left in
despair.
The speeches of the candidates
were we'll received. though several
of the audience left before the
speaking had ended.
A better division of time will
doubtless be had at Hermanville
next Saturday.

Candidate Joyner got so enthused
during his talk that he lost his
cuff Fortunately his time was
limited to three minutes.
Mr., c. c. Smith, who is coun-
ty man, was almost too modest to
clearly announce himself for peni-
tentiary trustee. Doubtless when
he is away from home folks he dis
plays some of the fire which is
consuming Mr.. Joyner.
Mr.. T. M. Henry, who, by the
way, is an opponent of Hon. J. G.
Spencer, is as tenacious on the
platform as he is in public service.
Mr.. Martin could hardly pull him
off the platform the people can
hardly pull him out of the public
crib.

Claiborne county's Biggest POIit-

able Affair. Williams
Great Speech.

The barbecue at Hermanville
Friday fully came up to expecta-
tions in point of attendance, and
excelled all expectations in point
of pleasure. Though there were
many friends of the various state
candidates present, there was not
an act to mar the serenity of the
occasion.
Congressman John Sharp Will
liams, candidate for United States
senator Judge Jeff Truly, candi-
date for governor F. ]. Smith,
candidate for auditor w. ] Miller
and 7. M Henry. candidates for
insurance commissioner S. D.
McNair and w. S. Joyner, candi-
dates for railroad commissioner /;
C. c. Smith and ]. M. Dodds, can
didates for penitentiary trustee,
were the seekers for the state jobs
on hand, and each had an oppor-
tunity to say a few words in his
own behalf.
The speech-making begun at
1890, Judge Truly being first on
the program. He spoke along the
usual line, with the exception that
he openly declared that he would
reward his friends and punish his
enemies" if elected. He did not
stop here, but said his friends
would inherit the earth. /" but woe
be unto every man who voted
against him III the second primary.
He was literally applauded by his
hearers, especially by the hundred
or more friends from his native
town of Fayette
All OF the other state candidates
were allowed three minutes each in
which to announce their candidacy.
AT cf these short talks,
dinner was announced. 1t was the
old fashioned barbecued meat,
served with bread.
After dinner, Notwithstanding
the great heat and fatigue of listen
ing to almost a halliday of speech
making, the large pavilion was
packed to hear the great political
giant and Democratic leader, Hon.
John S. Williams. When the
speaker arose to address the crowd,
the cheers were so unanimous and
prolonged that he finally had to
raise. his hand to restore quiet. He
was physically tired from his many
months of campaigning, but for
two hours his words teemed with
wisdom and logic, the extent of
which has rarely, if ever, been
equalled in this county. The large
crowd was overwhelmingly for Will
liams, and the few Vardaman men
must have felt the need of COM
pany
Hon. ]. McC. Martin of Port
Gibson was master of ceremonies,
introducing the speakers and max
ling all announcements.
Hermanville's hospitality, which
lis proverbial, was not lacking on
| this occasion. This time, howev-
er, the act of feeding the multi
tudes was done by the gentlemen ;
and, while the same old-time hos
pitality was displayed, we must ad-
nit that we prefer the dinner pre-
pared by the ladies.
In the evening, at eight O'Clock,
Rev. Frank Wells, formerly chap
lain in the regular army, delivered
lecture on philippines Under
Uncle Sam" for the benefit of the
pavilion fund.

The coming year win zee the opening Of
the Brooklyn tunnel, the MoAd0o tunnel
and the Belmont tunnel. IL will witness
transportation. For the Hrst time some
thing like quick and cheap transit will be
provided outside OF Manhattan and The
Bronx. The consequence munt be an ex-
tensive dispersion OF population. Such q
dispersion cannot fail TO afect inturiOusEy
property In The cOngested nat and tene-
ment sections, particularly Ia Manhattan;
Blu it IL certain to benefit far more aKeen-
sive outlying sections and TO occasion

Finally a reduction OF rents through
out the older tenement sections will. OF
course, increase the purchasing power
OF the lower and middle classes OF the popu-
lation. While undoubtedly iniuring prop
srty owners there IL will add TO the pros
perity Of landlords and tr~adespeople In
the shopping districts. These districts
will also be benefited by The provision OF
transportation to the suburbs. We may
therefore confidently expect a resumption
before long OF building apd investment
centres Of Manhattan and in the suburban
residence sections.
The tendency toward the suburbs, while
depending principally on rapid transit
will be greatly furthered by the tenement
house law, which was adopted with the
avowed purpose Of dec~entralizing popula-
ton and which ven In the absence Of ade-
quate transit has already in some degree
realized that purpose, as the following
figures show. And, besides, many people
will be forced in case Of industrial depres-
sion to seek less expensive homes away
from the congested sections Of manhattan.
The following tables, obtained through
the courtesy Of Tenement House Com
missioner Butler, show the amount OF con-
struction work planned under the ten en1ent
house Law in the last six years:
