For Congress.

Elsewhere in this issue OF The
HERALD will be found the an
nouncement of Hon. j. Ii. Currie
as a candidate for the Congress
sional nomination from this, the
Fifth District of Mississippi.
Probably no man is better
known in Kemper County (where
he was born and reared) than
"Ueck" Currie, and but few, il
any, possess greater prominence
in the Tenth judicial Circuit, in
which he has just entered upon
his third consecutive term as Dis
trict Attorney.
AS public prosecutor Mr.. Cur
rie has proven fearless and ag
gressive, and as an orator he will
rank with the best at the bar OF
Mississippi. lie is careful as to
details, and, being just in his
prime, the future should hold for
him even greater successes than
the past.
There is every reason to pre-
sumo that Mr.. Currie would
make the Fifth District OF Miss
issippi representative in the
National legis a tive body OF
whom ourpeople could be proud.
His training has been of a char
acter to fit him tor the service
required, and his ability is un
questioned; his judgment on Ma
tional questions should be of far
more value than that of many
others now holding down seats
in the illustriousCD body to the
membership of which he aspires,
and If at any time he be prone to
lose his head and fly off at tan
gent on sectional matters, there
will be plenty of cold blooded
Yankees there who.will be only
too happy to apply ice to his
heated brow.
Naturally, Mr.. Currie thinks
that he should have the united
support OF the voters of this
county, and he will appreciate
any and all assistance that his
friends may render him during
the campaign.

County Ala, where he lived un
til the beginning of the Civil
War, when he joined Fleets Di
vision and made a brave and
faithful soldier, aud was much
beloved by his army comrades.
He was iull OF life, and made
many friends by his cheerful dis
position.
Alter the war closed he settled
near Meridian (where the asylum
now stands). Here he practiced
both farming and veterinary sur>
gerry. He remained there until
twenty-seven years ago, wher he
moved to aear Enondale, where
he bought a farm and lived until
his death.
Mr.. Brantley belonged to that
rare old class-the old, anti bel
lum, chivalrous Southern gentle
man, now SO rarely seen even in
the South. But in his youth the
South was so noted for its chiv-
airy.
Mr.. Brantley was good neigh
Dor and man greatly beloved, es-
pecially by children. He was
fairly prosperous through life.
MIR. Brantiey was a man of
many sorrows, having lost an af-
iectionate vile and two grown
sons in a short time, besides
many other members of his fam
lily who died during their child
hood.
He was unusually vigorous I'M
! til a few years before his death,
when his health gave way and
he commenced growing feeble
suffering from heart failure,
On the morning OF his death
he laid down to sleep, telling his
children he would like to ride
when he awoke. After II o'clock
his son wents to call him, when
he found that this old veteran of
two wars had heard "taps"
sounded and had gone to answer
roll call, gone to attend the grand
re union, to meet his Captain.
comrades. wife and children.
Late in life he united with the
Presbyterian Church. and lived
a consistent member. He was
also a Mason, and was to have
been buried with Masonic honors,
but the steady down pour pres
vented.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, a large crowd Of friends
and neighbors gathered to Sit>
ness the laying away OF the dear
old brother in the silent city of
the dead. -
Mr.. Brantley leaves three sons
and a daughter, and veral
grandchildreastD mourn his loss. |
We extend them our most heart

ment, and pray they may live

John Wanamaker ON Advertising

John Wanamaker, the big re.
tai as well as wholesale merchant
of Philadelphia, Pa, is quoted as
follows:
IF there is one enterprise on
earth that a "quitt er" should
leave severely alone, it is adver-
tising. TO make a success OF ad
vertising one must be prepared
to stick like barnacle on a
boats bottom. He should know
before he begins it that he mast

A Government of Law

In sentencing three labor leaders in Butte, Montana, for inter
ference with non-union men, Judge W. II. Hunt of the United States
Court delivered himself of the following views:
"God gave man his hands, his back and the right to use them
as he pleases. 1t is an inalienable right No person can take 1t
away from a man.
"No power can compel him to work. No power can compel
him to stop working if he desires to work. When a man or any set
of men take it upon themselves to say that they are the law and to
defy the process of the courts. to defy the police authorities OF the
land, to usurp the authority of established government, to upset the
very fabric of society in which we all live, there is a power that
will come to the rescue of the man who is wronged In that way, and
that power is the power which protects you and protects me, and
must continue to afford us all protection, else government is destroyed
at once.
ITO deny the truth of these utterances is to attack the funda-
mental principles Of the Government This is a government OF law,
and unless the law is enforced the Government must fall, carrying
with it all the guarantees of personal liberty and personal protec-
ton that the Nation has bought SO dearly. Whether the Injunction
be properly exercised in a labor dispute is not the point at issue
The fact is that while the injunction stands til $ the law, and as such
must be obeyed, or be violated only at the risk OF penalty as in
violations of any other law"

He Is over six feet tall and broad In

over things that would worry most
people. Speaking Of his administra-

knew him there said:
"IIe took the job seriously. All the

receiving salutes he did with the dig
nifty of a funeral and the splendor OF

by himself. This tickled the Central
Americans down to the ground. In
fact. he was a great hit"

that he had been ''~excellencied" so
much that he longed to be called
