The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1907-07-06

Governor Vardaman against Mr. Viii
liams because Of the fact that Mr..
Williams is already in congress and
is the leader of the minority, and his
election to the senate is no higher
honor either TO him or to the state,
while Governor Vardaman, if placed
III the senate, will prove worthy sue
cessor to our senior senator, Hon.
Fl. D. Money, and man whose char
acter and ability can render the
state a great service

/ The large crowds which the band
concert and the theatorinms drew out
Thursday night proves more conclu
sive1y than ever that the city should
have a park where the people can
assemble and spend few hours to-
gether in the evening in pleasure and
enjoyment Such meetings are con-
decive to health and happiness and
increase the value OF your city as
home. Let the business league ano
the street railway take up this mat
ter again and never let it rest until a
park IS secured for the city

The sad and unfortunate death OF
Greenville's dog catcher brings
feeling Of sadness to the hearts Of
the mothers of the city on the ap-
/ preaching dog days, but a great re
tjo.cing among the ten thousand ca
nines that now roam the streets bark
and howl to their hearts content
Now since The dog catcher is dead.
let's tax the dogs and this would II
tcease them TO bark and bite Unless
the dog population decreases very
rapidly the city IN 10 years would
get enough money for it-to erect a
city hall

The friends Of Hon. E. n. Thomas.
not only in this county. but through
ont the state, should exert extra ef-
forts on their part during the next
three weeks to secure for their hon
orcd champion 4 vote large enough, ii
fl IS possible. 20 place him in the Sc
coud race for the governorship. If
this could be done. We don't believe
there s. a man in The race who could
beat him and Mr. Thomas would be
The next governor Of the state. Mr.
Thomas has shown already to his
friends that he Is no gutter and has
in the face Of all the odds against
him made a race for the place that
will be an honor to him even should
he be defeated.

The citizens of Vicksburg have
started fight for a cleaner city.
The first move was made on last
Monday when a mass meeting Of cit
liens was held TO discuss the ques-
tom The meeting resulted i'll advo
eating a league for the purpose of
securing information and evidence,
and prosecuting offenders guilty OF
miscegenation, and to work up pub
lie sympathy against this Infamous
practice Such a movement should
be started by the good people in this
CITY. and started before the conven-
ing of our December term of court |
Miscegenation is a crime that affects |
the whole community and nearly al |
ways results in trouble, and we are
glad to see public sentiment forming |
in every city in the South for its
suppression.
The fellow who said that Governor |
Vardaman was afraid to meet Con- !
gresham Williams on the
stump will now change his tune.
From all reports Of the Meridian de
bate the governor lost none of his !
hair, hide or votes. We think now (.
that when the jury Of the great COM /
mon people meet to render their |
verdict OF the case on August ii will !
be I'VE, the common people Of the /,
great state of Mississippi find that |
both candidates are worthy and able |
to represent the state nd recommend !
that the Hon John Sharp Williams |
remain in the house where his great /
need and usefulness for the South
and state has been seen in the past,
and that James x Vardaman be cleo
ted To the senate where he can con
tinue to fight for the rights Of the
South and justice and supremacy OF /
its people
