An Itawambian Endorses Gambler

Eastman, Miss, June 13.-We
are glad to be given the opportuni-
ty Of again supporting the Hon. +.
: Gambler for the nomination as
Democratic nominee for the first
congressional district of Mississippi.
In him we are pleased to say, has
been found the essential character
istics of an ideal congressman. His
record for the time he has had the
honor of representing US in the
National Legislature, So far as we
have been able to ascertain,
is beyond reproach or crit
cism He has been faithful, in all
things and especially loyal to the
local affairs of his constituents. 1t
has been the fortune of the writer
to closely study the record Of the
last few years of congressional r0u-
tine work and feel that [ can speak
with accuracy in what | shall sub
NIT concerning our own Little
/eke
As to his regularity in attending
the sessions Of the house, it has not
/ been my fortune to find him re-
corded as absent, when the roll was
called TO ascertain whether a quo
rum was present or to vote on any
measure that has been acted upon.
He has ever been a constant and
close observer of the proceedings Of
the house, always eager to be plac-
ed upon record, showing how he
stood in regard to all matters Of leg
islatiOn that come before him. As
to his influence with his own party
and the regard for him by his col
leagues in the house, | feel conf
dent that no representative Is more
highly esteemed. His influence
with the majority party in the
house can very readily be seen by
his removal from the Agricultural
Committee, against the protest of
minority leader Williams and the
recommendation Of his colleagues,
by the speaker Of the house Uncle
Joe" Cannon, who seems to have
made a record as one Of the most
tyranical speakers that has ever pre-
sided over the lower house. Mr..
Gambler no doubt has had the in
terest Of the people at heart. It'll
seems to be his greatest endeavor
to look after their every interest.
He has only served long enough to
become thoroughly acquainted with
the work of legislation, which seems
to be a lifetime study, and is now
making his influence felt among
that great body of national law
makers The idea Of passing the

An Increase in Railroad Rates.

Washington, July ca few
weeks ago notice was given out by
the Southeastern railways that an
/ increase Of the rates on fresh meats
would be made into Carolina terri
tory from Ohio and Mississippi riv-
er crossings. The Interstate Com
MERGE Commission has now been
informed that a general advance in
rates, effective Aug 1, viii be
made by Southeastern lines on all
commodities of Southern classical
ton taking classes B. c. d. and f.
from Ohio and Mississippi crossings
to all southeastern points. The in
crease amounts to cents per hun
bred on Glass B, , cents per hun
dren on Glasses c. and D. and 4
cents per barrel on class F. The
increases are on packing house pro-
ducts, grain and grain products and
-four in sacks and barrels. While
no announcement is made with re-
spect to fresh meats, the rate on
them now is based on 10 cents over
the rate on class B commodities,
and it is likely that an additional
increase on fresh meats eventually
will be made.

State in the Union Denver had
made elaborate preparations in
every particular for accommodate
ing any number that might be pres
ent in the most royal manner. and
the way in which this was accom-
plished is the acclaim from all who
were there. There has not been as
much enthusiasm displayed i'm the
party since the days of Tilden and
Cleveland, and it presages most
vigorous campaign with the bright
est prospects for success
The convention was called to or

Thumaa Taggart, chairman Of the
National executive committee, who
introduced former Congressman
Bell, Of California, as temporary

conventions, and ii is reported to
have been a strong campaign docu-
ment. After resolutions in memory
of President Cleveland and the APP

to Wednesday morning.

Deliberately stepping in front of

the body falling limp and mutilated
beside the track when the train was
backed to the fatal spot.
The tragedy occurred at Mytilene,

O'Clock yesterday morning.
And from the statements of eye
witnesses it seemed a veritable case

man was seen climbing up an en-
bankment on to the track.

seized a small plum bush whereby
she pulled herself up the steep en-
bankment
Landing upon the fill the woman
deliberately stepped upon the track
in front of the locomotive only
few yards away. Engineer Goolsby
sounded his whistle, but a moment
later the limp black form shot high
into space.
Death was instantaneous, as sew
eral bones were broken and the body
otherwise mutilated.
The dead negress was picked up
and carried on to Mytilene, and the
coroner of the county notified. En-
gineer Goolsby thinks it a deliberate
attempt at suicide, particularly as
the woman used great effort to climb
