E. C.. Walthall was a railroad lawyer.
No one, he said, had ever cast the
breath of suspicion on these men.
Gambling in Cotton.
He discussed the gambling in cotton
futures and how it affected the cotton
producer. He gave brief account OF
his short career in the United States
senate, and emphasizes that legislation
to the welfare of Mississippi
or indeed any other section was gotten
not by mourning the i'll will OF fellow
legislators and abusing the people OF
other sections, but by diplomacy and
by the recognition of the rights OF
ther people.
Sectional Speeches.
He said a new era had come in the
politics of the country. The better
men in both the great political parties
were endeavoring to cultivate friendly
relations between the north and south
and that a Christian spirit demanded

an awakening was here. The =, in
all sections was demanding lat ex-
tremist be squelched and Nc men be
sent to Washington ~ who were
capable of locking 1.SS matters and
who knew how to protect their constit-
uents' interests. He said lurid speeches
and inflammable utterances didn't hep
the man who had a debt to pay.
Vardaman's Inability.
He adroidtly puts the question: "Has
Vardaman shown ability to manage
anything?" In effect, his deductions
were, a man that can net manage his
own affairs can not do better for others.
He said Vardaman's hobby was the
nigger. He said the negroes were out
Of politics and that we had managed
the negro all these years. He wanted

Mcdonald g. Blackburn.

By reference TO the fourth page,
there will be seen a statement OF the
Southern States Fire & Casualty lnsur-
ance Co. of Birmingham. The writer
does not pretend to know personally
anything about the company put ne
does know that the gentlemen, MeSsrs.
J. A. Blackburn and C. E. Mcdonald,
now in this territory interesting many
business men in its stock, are two
clever, wholesouled, capable gentlemen.
He knows, too, that when such men
as J. T. Thomas and M. H. Moore give
their endorsement to a business propo-
sition that it will hold water.

that the conflicts of the past cease to
be matters Of political debate. He SAID
we needed the north and that the north
needed the south. He cited the very
bitter speech made by Senator Hey
burn of Idaho during the last session OF
Congress opposing the loaning, by the
war department at Washington, OF
tents to the Confederates at the Mobile
reunion. After Hepburn S speech was
made a vote was taken and every SEN
ator, both north and south, voted for
the loan, except Hepburn, he stood SOL
itarv and alone. Only a few months
ago. he said, Jeff Davis of Arkansas
made bitter TRADE against the north.
At the conclusion Of Davis speech a
vote was taken and every senator north
and south voted one way except Davis
and he stood alone and repudiated by
his fellows.
All people, ne said, were tired OF the
fire-eater. Such men, Mr.. Percy IN
sisted, had cost the poor OF this country
many hardships and made the path OF
the rich easier.
Othrr Things Lost Sight OF.
Mr. Percy said that for years before
the Gill War that slavery was the alb
serb;ng question and that all others
were lost sight of in i. For years
after the war. he said, reeonstl dction
and other things growing out of the
war were uppermost in the public mind.
If public man measured up rightly or
these questions, how he stood on mat
ters involving the material welfare OF
the people was overlooked. This very
condition, he contended, had made pos
sible the great trusts and the centerlns
OF wealth in the hands of few.
Mr.. Percy said that the money sharks
never slept and that while we are talk
ing they were securing legislation tha

high appreciation of the speech and
from as manys lips could be heard
cit is the most beautiful and best
speech have heard for many years.
Regret was expressed by many OF
the older heads that every boy and
every young man in the county did not
hear the speech. Mr.. Brewer has
many friends in Grenada county who
have ever been true to him and have
been with him in every political contest
in which he was ever engaged. He re-
ceived many assurances of support
from parties who opposed him in
the last gubernatorial race and on al
most every tongue was the the thought
"he'll be our next governor.
At l:3O O'Clock great mass as
sembled in the courthouse to hear Un-
tied States Senator Leroy Percy Mr..
Percy's friends had secured the Gren-
ada Cornet Band, which was stationed
| Just inside the courtyard gate. The
music dispensed served to give inspira-
ton to the occasion. The courtroom
was absolutely packed, many ladies
crowding into the rear to manifest
their interest in the occasion.
| At2 o'clock Hon. w. S. P. DOty as
cended the speakers stand, followed
by Senator Percy. Mr.. Doty presented

language, and showed that he was
deeply interested in the cause OF the
sl-,ator.
Mr.. Percy acknowledged very grace
fully Mr.. Doty's introduction, and
stated that it was the most fiatterlng
he had received in the campaign. Gen
erous applause indicated to him at once
that his friends were in the audience
and that he had their sympathy. Mr.
Percy began by saying that except t(
serve as chairman of the Democratic
: executive committee of Washington
county, he was now acting in his frs
} official capacity. When they were
/ fighting negro domination in the delta
he said he tried to do his part In th'

to handle the negro? He said that this
talk about the negro was all to fool the
people and get Office.
He quoted from atrecent copy OF The
Issue. Governor Vardaman' personal
organ, in which it was stated that 1t
was time for our congressman to quit
begging for what they wanted and
crawling On their bellies to the legis-
lators up there. Mr.. Percy dramatical-
ly inquired what senator or what con-
gressman had been begging in WASH
ington. He said such statement was
an insult to Mississippi and indeed the
entire South.
Gov. vardaman's Way.
In this connection he said Gov. VAR
daman's way, if he should be elected
senator, would be to go up there and
abuse the legislators of the other Sec
tions and take them by the throat, as
it were, and say to them that Missis-
sippi must, and just would, have certain
things. In fact, Gov. Vardaman's
method was not to argue anything, but
to abuse those who disagree with him.
He quoted what the ex-governor said
about President Mckinley, gave his
words of abuse of Roosevelt and read
from the Issue of last fall Mr.. Varda~
I mans opinion of Taft. All these things
he said, would, of course, maka the
people cf the North love him and fall

On last Monday after the court was
organized the Judge gave way to those
desiring to make speeches.
Hon. Earl Brewer, candidate Tor
governor, was present and delivered
his address on patriotic Citizenship,
Mr.. Brewer was introduced by Judge
A. T. Roane, who paid splendid trib-
ute to his character as citizen and TO
his great ability as leader IN puDhc
thought and said he hoped his friends
would vote for Brewer for
Governor. Mr.. Brewer was greeted
with cheers when he arose. He SAID
he appreciated most highly what Judge
Roaue had said Of him, however, he
said. that he feared that the long
tie of friendship that had existed be-
tween them had made the judge char
liable in constituting his shortcomings.
Nevertheless he thanked him from the
very depths of his soul and SAID that
he would rather measure fully up to
what Judge Roane had said of him than
to be governor or hold any other ofh ce
within the gift of the people.
Mr.. Brewers speech was non-politi-
cal. 1t was an appeal to that which is
highest and noblest in man. He set the
beacon light of truth high upon the
pedestal of pure aims and purposes ane
bade every citizen to strive to be guld'
ed by it's insignia. He discussed brave
ly and courageously the rocks that be-
set the pathway of our national life
and gave remedy for the correction
of every national i'll. He said govern
ments were what the people made
them and that it was impossible tt
have that whish is highest, noblest ant
best in government unless the life o.
the individual citizen exemplihed these
characteristics. He pointed to tn
downfall of the governments of Rome
Carthage and Babylon and gave tn
cause. In the study of the failure o
these governments he said he hoped t
be able to benefit the people of his ow
land and his own state. 1t was grea
