SHARP FIGHT FOR 'LAUR|N'S 5 SEAT Former Governor VardanaO Leads Against the Field MANY MEN ARE CANDIDATES Governor Noel Will Probably Leave Senatorship to the Legislature.
 Senator McLaurn's Flu
 neral Occurs Today.
MANY MEN ARE CANDIDATES

Jackson, Miss, December 23.-The death of United States Senator A U. McLaurin within ten days of the biennial legis- the most spirited political struggles in the history of the commonwealth
 Regardless of whether Governor Noel sees fit to appoint temporary success sor and many of his friends believe he will not do so, the legislature must elect an incumbent tor the unexpired term of three years and three months.
 The indications are that the names of half a dozen Or more aspirants will be presented. Prominent amorg those men tioned is ex-Governor vardaman, who announced his intention several months ago of entering the contest for Senator McLaurins seat at the primaries in 1911 and has since been busily engaged or ganizing his forces for the fight.
 That former Governor Vardaman has a strong personal folloting in the legis- strongest opponents. He win unqlies- tionaby be formidable factor. in the fight.
 MT. Vardaman's following is especial ly strong in the lower house and his friends assert that he can muster de- cisive majority in that body
 In the senate MT. vardaman's strength is said not to be so appreciable At least dozen men of equal prominence in public life are being mentioned, among them being Senator-elect John Sharp Williams, Hon. J. s. Sexton of Hazel hurst, Hon. Charles Scott of Bolivia, Chief Justice H. W. Whitfield of the supreme court, Congressman E. J. Bow CTS of the Sixth district, Congressman Benjamin M. Humphreys of the Third district Hon. G. L. shands of Laurel. Hon. Leroy Percy of Greenville and Congressman Adam Byrd of the Fifth district, and several others.
 The prevailing opinion. however, is that 1t will be Vardaman against the field and if the names of any considerable number of candidates are presented it will be a long, bitter struggle, probably resulting in a deadlock.
 Some of the friends of Senator elect John Sharp Williams express doubt as to whether he will permit his name to be presented for the unexpiraa term since he has been elected as Senator Moneys successor for a full term of six years, commencing March f. 1911
 Should he be persuaded to enter the contest, it Is asserted ex-Governor Var damans chances will be decidedly dimmed.

GOLD PIECES FOR
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Washington, December 2S.-(SpecialD "It's pretty safe bet said an ofhciaI of the treasury department today. that there will be d host of youngsters throughout the United States who will find gold pieces of substantial value in their stockings Christmas morning. predict this because of the great de- mand for gold eagles and quarter eagles which has been made on the hints during the past few weeks. In the east the demand has been so great that an extra consignment of these coins has been shipped from the Dem yer mint.'
 There seems to be a bench ant Tor new money, especially for that of the smaller denominations. including gold silver and currency. People want the new issues instead of the old.
 A great deal of money is being trans ferred from place to place incident to the Christmas trade, the efforts Of the treasury and the hints being taxed to supply the demand.
 Senator Nelson got up to leave the White House offices. Senator Cullom was sitting next to him. "Cullom. here'i how l used to put on an oNercoat when was a boy" swinging the piece or wearing apparel around his head, MT. Nelson had it on in less than minute. MT. Cullom was amazed. By George, said the Illinois senator, you are cer- tain to live to be 90 years old. Well, my mother is still living at 96 years of age" answered the Minnesota sena- Tor, as he went out with the coat on. He got as far as the front door of the building and then discovered that he had donned another mans coat.

 Meanwhile Wallace F. Tillinghast, the Worcester man who recently Claimed to have invented a machine in which he had covered the distance between Worcester and New York, and who 1t was thought, might have been the navigator of the supposed airship last night, remained non-committal today.

allotted to him, will be forever ex-
Guided from the honors and emolu-
ments of this government, which will
be reserved for those only who have
qualified themselves by political
prostitution for admission into the
Magdalen asylum
May a Southern man become Presi-
dent, Vice-President or Chief Justice,
or Commanding General of the army?
May any candidate for President or
Vice-President stand for restoration
of the government exclusively to the
white population, by whom alone and
for whom alone it was erected? Cot
ton, exclusively from the South, is
the controlling export Of the coun-
try; how many American consuls to
cotton importing foreign countries
go from the South? None. Why
did President Cleveland follow in the
tracks of his Republican predeces-
sOrs by appointing negroes to high
Federal offices? Because the inter-
ests of the Northern section required
that much of him, Northern man.
I venture to say very few men in
the States which composed the
"Southern Confederacy," now living,
ever read of, or ever heard Of, the
Address to the Southern People"
written by Calhoun and published in
February, 1S49, from Washington.
1t was signed by Senators Jefferson
Davis and Foote of Mississippi, Fitz-
patrick of Alabama and by many
others, and by Representatives Lump
kin, Iverson and Wallace of Georgia,
and many others. 1t was an appeal
to the South to unite, to convince the
rapidly developing revolutiOnists of
the North that the peaceable instit u
tons of slavery should not be driven
out by fanatics. The address recited
that England had emancipated the
negro slaves of her West Indies colo
MES, but had not only paid the own
ers liberal compensation, but main
tanned troops on the plantations, in
the cities, to prevent disOrderly con-
duct in the freedmen. Very differ
ent, the address prophesied, would be
the course Of the government of the
United States in the hands of North
ern majority, toward the Southern
planters in the event Of sudden eman-
cipation of their slaves. 1t prophe-
sled:
1.-The blacks and profigate whites,
that might unite with them, would
become the principal recipients of
Federal offices and patronage and, in
consequence, would be raised above
the whites of the South in the politi-
cal and social scale" Does not Mr.
Bryan, candidate for the Presi-
dency, educate his children along with
negroes? Does not President Taft
declare that the 18th amendment can
never be repealed? What do Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Taft mean except the
equality of the negro in the political
scale?"

KINGSVHLE AND CORPUS
TEAMS MEET TOMORROW.

One of the most interesting games
of ball that will be played on the Gulf
coast this season will be played to-
morrow at Kingsville between the
Kingsville and Corpus Christi teams.
Rivalry between these two teams is
strong and as Kingsville has one of
the best and cleanest teams in the
state the game will be hard fought.
Quite number of Brownsville fans
will go up to witness the game and
root for Kingsville. During the Cor
pus Christi games the Kingsville
team went to Corpus and rooted for
the Brownies and Brownsville people
believe in staying by their friends.
