The diurusto of the latter committee that prompted the New Idea candidates and
leaders ITO demand h etireme of that committee nd Tits chairman from the
county, campaign management nd transfer their authority to a committee die
tated by the New Idea men should, therefore, attach to the State committee.
Chairman DaHymples right to manage In the county is equally al goo as
Chairman Murphys right o manage in the State at large. and a demand for
the retirement of Murphy and his State committee in favor of a State cam
pagn committee selected by Senator Colby wouldn not be any more unreasonable
than the demand upon the county committee But perhaps something of the
kind is incubatng. .@.I#.H M 4H..

SMOKE OF THE
BURNING LEAVES.

Upward. g
To the heavens, It winds.
Like some shroud,
Or storm-blown cloud.
It blinds
OF the bright sky's blue
And white.
Like the night
1t comes,
Crawling, creeping,
Up to the trembling willows, sleeping
Keeping
Time to the tune OF the cricket
That huns
In the infinite hush
OF the field,
From the n~eighboring brush.
Like the rising Of mist
1t blends
With the barred boushs
or the tall trees,
Kissed
By the suns beam
And the fair breeze.
Vending
It's slow way onward,
Never resting,
Breasting
The brisk air, aStH
It sends ~
Its faint scent
Through the dried lands, here
And there.
Then.
When
The eve dies,
And the moon CLEANS,
Sending its gray light
From the black skies.
It's frail soul
Leaves.
It's tall form droops.
And stoops
To the cold mound
OF the charred forms
Of the burned leaves
On the damp ground.
And 1t dreams
In the deep calm
And balm
OF the great night.

FOR THE BEST

In the face of events and wrongs
supposed or in fact which have
been comitted against the race,
there is at this time a great deal
OF agition as to just what stand
our people should take in the pend
ing campaign. There is a coterie
OF Negro democrats in the east
who are teking advantage of
these incidents to Greats antipathy
against the only party in which
these is any hopes this people,
selfish Negro democrats see an
opening for i'll gotten gain and
are using it for all it is worth, the
same gang was at Kansas City
four years ago.
But no matter in what guise
these parasites on the body polite
appear they and their mission is
kuown and there are enough men
to stand for the race that will 90
into the highways and hedges
and counteract any influence that
these dull and disingenous polite
ians may sttempt to the detri-
ment of the race.
The thinking men of the race
do not believe that because one
man did the race an injustice the
race should give their support to
It's arch enemy, they do not bell
eve that as long as Ben Tillman
crazy Vardaman and rattle brain
ed Jeff Davis are leadiug spirits of
Democracy that that party is a
safe haven for our people.
They still believe not so much
n the man as the principles that
he two parties stand for.
They know that the democra-
ic party has been a failure on
Ill greatquestions which they have
attempted to solve, they know
hat for the good of our common
Country that the revision of the
ariff if we are to prosper must
,e done by republicans.

iideration the man who would Z
