Wait Until Temporary Wharf Could

masted schooner Massachusetts. now
AT inis port, made his first visit TO
newport News about 25 years ago,
bringing Il schooner loaded with lum-
Der and railroad ties to be used in
the construction of the Chesapeake
Dc OHIO railroad terminals here. At
that time what is now this city was
a broad eXpanse of farm land with II
few houses dotted here and there. AS
the railway company had not then
started work on its terminals, there
were no piers here and Captain Lane
was offered to anchor in the harbor
and wait until temporary dock
could be built before his vessel could
discharge her cargo.
On his arrival here from Norfolk
Wednesday the old skipper was
amazed at the size of the city the
development of the Chesapeake &
ohio terminals and the great ship
yard.

For Mr.. Scott.

Editor Times-Promoter:
Why we should ali vote for Scott:
Because he is the man for the place.
He is an honest, patriotic, successful,
self-made, business man. Like the
Hon. Earl Brewer, Mr.. Scott hap
pened to be one of the bare footed
boys. He was born in the darkest
days of the states history. When on
ly beardless lad of fifteen summers
he was called to bleed and die for his
country. He at once responded and
for four long years faced the enemy
| as If he were stone.
The opponents of Mr.. Scott seem to
regard any man a political idiot who
advocates foreign immigration. As
DR.. Ward said OF Mr.. Williams, the
five opponents of Mr.. Scott have un-
fortunately permitted themselves to
be hired away from the broad high
way of practical craftsmanship by the
phosphorescent glimmer of an ignis
fatmus fighting Mr.. Scott on foreign
immigration. They arc using it as a
political knife to sever the veins and
drain out the life-blood of a man who
is making clean race, not like the
five Ogre trying to assassinate the
character of his opponents.
For governor of this great state we
want man that is a man. One that
will stand up boldly for the right and
enforcement of the law. know of
no one that quite nearly occupies that
position other than Chas. Scott.
In speaking of his antagonists he is

their superior. l am a young mans
friend, where it is not detrimental to
me Or any one else, but for me to
vote for the young man in this con-
test | deem it detriment to the
whole state Of Mississippi
He is known as the candidate of the
corporations, being supported by rail
roads and their lawyers. Why GER
tainly, some of them will vote for
Mr.. Scott, but there are others who
will support the other aspirants for
this exalted position. If the Hon.
Chas. Scott is elected chief executive
of this great commonwealth the far
mers will receive more for their pro-
duets, educational facilities will be
improved, labor will be plentiful, and

of the greatest issue of the day, the
negro question.
Judge Truly in his charge to the
jury in his judicial district said: "The
only salvation was to educate the
negro" Now he says it will never
do to educate them. The Judge re-
minds me of the little paradox on the
flea: you don't know where to put
ycur finger to catch him. He is very
much like Bill Arp said his wife was.
Bill said she could spread in or spread
out, just to suit the crowd she was in,
and that is the way with the Judge.
New, I appeal to the voters of the
grand old state in the name of COM
mon sense, common justice, and COM
mon decency to think over this mat
ter and cast their vote according to
their heart and not their mind. Their
heart says vote for Scott and they
should be guided by it. 1fhe is elect
ed governor, we will slumber under
the paternal care of peerless, up
right, honorable man.
