Much hns been said in the nnti-Scott
papers Of late about MIR. Scott losing
ground, and predicting his defeat at the
polls. Of course this is done in an at
tempt to minimize the force OF the pop
ular favor with which Mr.. Seott's can
didacv is being received in nil parts OF
the state. During the winter months
when Mr.. S.ott was busy organizing
his planting interests for another year.
and watching the oncoming tide Of the
mighty Mississippi. and giving the bene-
fit of advice to prevent an overflow, the
other candidates for Governor were
busy. aud Mr.. Scott was not much in
the public eve, and hence the friends
tried to take advantage Of this fact to
take advantage of this fact to make it
appear that Mr.. Scott was losing
ground.
Instead Of this being the case. Mr.,
Scott is stronger today than he has
heen at anv time since the campaign
opened. In South Mississippi Judge
Truly had made some friends bv his
stand for needed legislation in behalf of
that growing section, but when Mr..
Scott visited that section during the
past two weeks. pnd announced
his position on the qusption Of most VI
tai interest to them. his reception was
not only cordial. bnt enthuiastic. The
editor OF the Sentinel has made several
recent trips to South Mississippi, and
from careful inquiry among all classes
Of people in that section. confdsn thy as
serts that Mr.. Scott will have a plurnli
ty vote in a large maj ority Of the South
Mississippi counties. Equally encourag.
ing reports come from other sections ~
the State. and il Mr.. Scott continues 10
grow in the affections ot the people ~
he has grown in the past. he will stand
a splendid chance Of being nominated in
the first primary.-Yaxoo Sentinel.
