Capt A L. Odom and wife, two
workers Of the Salvation Army, ar
rived in the city on Monday after
noon and will spend several days here
in the interest of missionary work.
Services will be held on the streets
every evening during their stay in
the city. About two months ago it
was announced from the Office of Maj.
j. NJ. Barrenton in Atlanta that a
corps of the army would be estab-
lished in three towns in this State,
there already being about six corps
in the State. The towns in which
the corps are to be established are
Hattiesburg, Gulfport and Columbus.
The visit of Capt. Odom and his wife,
however, has nothing to do with the
proposed establishment of a Saliva
tion Army barracks here.

Hon. Sam Coleman. of Greenwood

Hon Sam Coleman, of Greenwood,
Miss, who has represented Leflore
county in the legislatures of the
State for a number of years past, has
announced that he will not be a can
didate for reelection. His retirement
is brought about by his age, and it
is tinged with sadness. for it reminds
US that he, like many others who have
served their people faithfully and
well, is drawing nigh TO the end of
this earthly journey. Mr.. Coleman
made a fine representative, honest,
fearless, conscientious, always at his
post, and the announcement that he
will not again be in the halls of leg
islation is disappointing to his friends
all over the State.

EFFORT TO GUST JOHN SHARP.
DeArmond of Missouri a Candidate
for Minority Leadership.


Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Op-
position to the continuation of the
Democratic leadership in the house
by the Hon. John Sharp Williams,
which heretofore has had a more or
less inderterminate existence, has f.
nally crystallized around DeArmond
of Missouri, who tonight gave official
sanction to the movement to use him
as a battering ram to break down
the Williams Notifications.
The managers of the anti-Williams
campaign assured Mr.. DeArmond of
sixty-eight votes in the Sixtieth con-
gress, and with this formidable
strength pledged the Missourian gave
The announcement of Mr.. Dear
monds candidacy for minority lead
ership and the stated causes under
lying it augur combinations and is
sues which unquestionably will make
no end of confusion in the next Dem
ocratic national convention.
In fact, great strife is foreboded.
A gentleman actively interested in
the overthrow of Mr. Williams said
tonight that the certainty of William
J. Bryan's nomination for the presi-
dency made it imperative that the
Democratic minority in the Sixtieth
congress he led by man in perfect
accord with the Nebraskan's policy
He said that Mr. Williams was large
ly instrumental in the nomination of
Judge Alton B. Parker for president
in 1904 Moreover, Mr.. Williams is
accused of now being only a condi-
tional supporter of Mr.. Bryan for the
presidential nomination.
We must have a full-f1edged Bry-
an man TO lead the minority in the]
next house" continued the gentleman
in question. for the success or fail
ure of the Democratic national cam
paign will in measure upon the
course pursued by the Democrats in
the SiXtieth congress. DeArmond is |
a straight Bryan man, and will rally |
around him the Bryan forces in the |
house.
1t is claimed that DeArmond will |
have the solid support of the Demo
,rats from Missouri, Virginia, Ohio |
and Illinois. and in addition to this |
number he will get the disgruntIed /
Democrats from the other States. He /
will go into the fight with more than
he strength developed for Champ
Clark, who declined to become a can
lidate against Mr.. Williams.
The most significant feature of MIR.
Diamonds fight is the support given
lim by William Randolph Hearst and
lis personal political machine. The
special feature is the practical GER
ainty of the enlargement of Hearst'sI
influence with the view to the adop-
ion of a government ownership plank
" the next Democratic national con
'ention, a plank which Mr.. Williams
las stated in his reply to Governor
he would vote TO keep out.
1t is this that gives the anti-Wil-
Jams movement in it's latest manifes-
ations a decided bearing in the direc-
ion of national politics.
All previous efforts to encompass
he defeat of Mr. Williams have prov
d abortive, but the announcement Of
)eArmond's candidacy may mean re-
ults quite different. The Mississip-
ian still holds his old following, and
his may be recruited from the new
omers sufficiently to enable him to
etain his leadership.
Big politics is being played, and
enceforth the country may be ex-
ected to look on with increasing
interest.

MIssIssIpPIAN DEFENDS BAILEY.

MISSISSIPPIAN DEFENDS BAILEY
In last Sundays issue we presented
a letter from Mr.. Fl. o. Carothers, oi
| Plano, Texas, in defense of Senator
| Bailey and taking the writer to ac-
count for criticising that apostle OF
| political purity and honesty. The
writer has not the pleasure of a per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Caroth-
ers, as he left this section long before
he came upon the scene of action, but
if he is like his good brother, Hon.
Porter Carothers, of Lee, whom the
writer knows and esteems most high
ly, Mr. Carothers of Texas is one of
the Mississippians who has cast his
fortunes with the State of whom we
can all feel proud But because men
are Mississippians does not remove
them from the right of criticism when
they are guilty of those acts which
destroy their usefulness and bring
down upon them the condemnation
of all right thinking and right living
pSopIS MI N(e1I oIASio 10 Ao 0ouOb
honest and true in his convictions
about Bailey, but as the writer often
differed with his brother" so does
he differ with him.
Mr. Carothers supposes that our
impressions of Bailey are founded
upon editorials in the Dallas News.
In this he is mistaken. Our convic-
tions in the Bailey matter are the
result of reading the associated press
reports detailing the developments in
his investigation and the charges that
have been made against him, and
supported by documents from time to
time. While the line of demarkation
in Texas between Bailey and anti
Bailey followers is sharply drawn,
we believe that the people of the
country have long since convicted
him of guilt in the transactions that
brought him into disrepute and that
his usefulness to the people of that
State is over.
Mr. Carothers says that Bailey is
a better Democrat than he is a Chris
tian. God pity his Christianity, then.
He states further that ninety per cent
Of the papers of the State are against
him, Influenced by trust money. We
cannot place the proper estimate up
On the honesty and decency of the
press of the Lone Star State, but it
seems to us that if this is true the
sacred and responsible function of

moral reformation in the people un-
il these mercenaries are driven from |
