What the Approach
of Death Does.

One Of the strangest OF the many
strange, but withal noble. character
istics of human nature is its forgiving
spirit when the heart hears the foot
steps Of Deaths approach.
There is in the heart Of every indi-
vidual something that makes the soul
yield up its dormant love and sympa-
thy at the irresistible appeal Of the
Grim Reaper.
You may harbor enmity and stub
born ill-will against your fellow man
| all through this life where men
breathe, struggle, smile and conquer,
but when that individual shiv-rs his
last lance and lays down his shield,
you then, for the first time probably,
reflect that he is not all bad and that
there are many good qualities in his
SOUL
| You conquer the coarse grudge you
feel for him, and whisper a message
| to him and those about him that
serves only to show the humanity
that's in you and to soften his dying
pillow" We are too prone to hesitate
until the last to drop a flower in the
pathway of those about us. But all
things save the goodness of the human
soul retreat as Death approaches.
The Montgomery Advertiser, as an
| instance, has never been a champion
| of the TilIman cause but when the
news of the senator's serious illness
was flashed over the wires a few days
ago, that paper looked around for the
good deeds he had done, and the
courage and unquestioned honesty that
had always distinguished him among
his colleagues. 1t was a magnificent
tribute the Advertiser paid Ben Till
man.
| Senator Tillman has fought his last
f., great fight and it is feared that he
must soon draw round him his 'pale
robes of white in a dark spot to sleep
through Deaths long, dreamless night. .
The very probability Of the early
death of this forensic giant has sad
dened those who loved him and soft
ened those who once assailed him.
The press of the country is univer
sally lamenting his illness and the ma
ton pleads for his recovery.

From DR.. S. r. M. Kennedy.


In reply to your communication Of
Feb. 21st, 1910, asking my views in
regard to the effect on the public
health of a sewer system, the outlet
of which is partially INSTRUCTED, pre-
venting a full and free discharge of
fecal contents, and as to whether
or not l consider sewer gas deleteri-
GUS to health, I beg to reply that the
heterogeneous substances constituting
the excreta and waste matter of do
nestle economy consists mainly of
putrescent animal and vegetable It's

cholera, typhoid fever and cerebro
spinal meningitis. OF course. you can
readily understand that sewer gas va

The Apostle of White
Supremacy Defeated.

The peanut politicians of Mississippi
at last succeeded in defeating by the
narrow margin of five votes, the
eloquent Apostle of White Supremacy,
Ex-Governor James X. Vardman, Mr..
Leroy Percy of Greenville being
chosen.
But this must not be taken as the
setting Of Vardaman's sun, neither
shall the action of the legislature be
interpreted to represent the wishes OF
the people of Mississippi. Vardaman
two years ago was defeated before the
people for the senate by Hon. John
Sharp Williams by the hair margin OF
SAG votes. Tt was simply case OF
mot that we love Caesar less, but
Rome more" and Williams was chosen.
afterwards boasting that he was the
only man in Mississippi who could
''beat Jim Vardaman.'
In the fight just closed there
was never the slightest question
but that Vardaman was the choice
of the people of Mississippi by
a tremendous majority. Ninety-five
per cent of the press of the state
demanded his election regardless OF
the personal wishes of the legislators
for the reason that he was the com
mon choice Of the people as expressed
at the polls in 1907. Many newspa
pers that had never before cham
pioned the "Vardaman idea" but felt
it the duty of the legislature to choose
Vardaman in the late contest, and
these papers demanded his nomina
ton.
But the voice of the people was
ignored and the influence of personal
spite prevailed, hence the temporary
downfall of the distinguished ex-gov
ernor.
However, he will take his claims be-
fore the people in 1911 and that he
will be overwhelming elected, there
is not any doubt. 1t was known to be
an anti-Vardaman legislature that TEN.
porarily decided his fate 1t would
have been to the credit of that body to
have chosen Vardaman, but it is by no
means to his discredit that he was
beaten by them.
It was but natural that the wh1skey
and lumber interests of that state
should exert their every power to en-
compass the defeat OF Vardaman
While governor he put the liquor men
out of business in that state and de-
feated pet scheme Of the lumber in.
timbered lands in south Mississippi.
Vardaman's administration as gov.
ernor was clean and progressive. He
gave Mississippi cleansing she had
needed for many years, and brought
her schools and colleges to their pres.
emit high standard, which Is second to
none in all the south. Despite his
"nigger hating" reputation Vardaman
has the distinct credit of having saved
the lives of more negroes from mobs
during his term Of four years than any
governor Of that state for twenty-five
years previous.
All this is to his credit and that he
will be elected by the people next year
Is the indication now.
The Journal is not a special admirer
of vardaman's particular style of pub
lie life, but it believes him honest and
patriotic, and, when it is conceded
everywhere, that the vast majority OF
Mississippians wanted him elected sen.
ator, the legislature was recreant 70
its trust when by secret caucus it &C.
complished his defeat,

A Whac ok at the Normal Schools

The black eve given the State Normal
Schools by the Senate last Friday, in
passing a bill establishing a training
course for teachers in high schools, is the
result of long and arduous work by the
State Superintendent of Education. M,
S. Stone, and the strenuous work of Gov.
Mead Mr. Stone has for years been a
strong advocate of one Normal School
TOR the state and has left no stone I'M
turned to wipe out the three schools we
now have. Gov. Mead is also using every
means possible to bring about a like re-
suit. In order to railroad" the bill
through, the Senate rules were suspended
by vote of Is to II. On the third read
ing of the bill the Senate was about even
ly divided, 10 to ~. Senator Powell
called attention to the rule which requires
three-fourths vote to suspend the rules.
Lieut.. Gov Slack ruled that g. the third
reading of a bill at any particular time
did not require a suspension of the rules"
1t was the intention of the promoters of
the bill to rush it through the Senate and
get it into the House in short order but
this snag caused hold-up which may re-
suit disastrously for the bill hereafter.
This railroad" movement is justly CEN
sured by many.

AnuIina and Fishing.

The true angler does not care much
about the size of the catch, and let it
be remembered that to angle and to
catch fish are very different things.
There are debased creatures in human
guise who will attach an assortment
of murderous hardware to the end of
a rope and with it pull fish from the
water by sheer strength, but such
methods are unrecognized by the an
gler who has imposed upon himself
a rigid code of honor and to whom
even the use of live bait as a last re-
sort is the occasion for severe self
examination. The angler does not go
forth TO catch fish, but to fish, and
only those with the anglers nice sense
of propriety will recognize the diff
