Percy-BFeWer Newspaper.

Memphis, Tenn. May 23. It is
stated here on what is considered
good authority that a contract has
been signed for the establishment
of a new weekly paper at Senate
bia, Miss. which will support Lez
roy Percy for United States senator
and Earl Brewer for governor of
Mississippi. Whether or not this
indicates that a combination has
been effected between the Percy
and Brewer forces in Mississippi is
not known, but it is said there is
no doubt about the Percy Brewer
newspaper deal at Senatobia.
Ii the event that there is a secret
Percy Brewer combination, how
will it strike the Scott men who
are inclined to lean to Percy. and
with Percy's corporation lawyer
record, what becomes Of Brewer j
claims to being the anti-trust ami
corporation candidate and special
champion of the masses. such as he
posed as being three years agog
There must be somebody mistaken
somewhere.

eclipsed anything Of the kind that

wias ever witnessed in this section
of the State.
The big event had been we'll and
widely advertised; the leading
attractions being the promised adj
dresses Of Ex- Gov. Vardaman, Hon.
James w. Cassidy, Hon. Jesse b.
Webb, Hon. Thomas Shelton, candi-
date for Congress. and Senator
Theodore G. BiIbo, of Pearl River
county, who spoke on the subject
previously outlined for him by the
committee, which was: Jim VAR
daman, the Radical: Leroy Percy,
the Conservative; Grandma Noel,
the Sissy; Senator Bilbo, the Liar.
Owing to the sudden illness of
Governor yardaman he could not
meet his engagement. and he wired
his regrets at the last moment, his
place on the program being assign
ed to Hon. Jesse B. Webb, of
Brookhaven, who upon being intro-
duced to the audience in a brief
but eloquent and highly apprecia-
tive manner by Hon. Richard T.
Quin. Of McComb City, himself a
candidate for sheriff, delivered one
Of the most scholarly, feiicitous
and beautifully appropriate ad-
dresses on woodcraft and fraternaI
societies In general that was ever
delivered in the State.
At the insistent request of the
enthusiastic audience, Judge Webb
was forced to depart from his first
intention. and made a short talk
upon some of the more urgent Of
the political issues of the day,
carrying his vast audience with
him at every point, and winning
at their hands spontaneous and
tremendous ovation.
Owing to the intense and almost
frantic anxiety of the crowd, which
had gathered from Pike and several
of the surrounding counties. to see
and hear Senator Bilbo, Of late sem
atorial caucus lame, Mr.. Cassidy
obligingly gave up his time. and
when Mr.. Webb concluded his
splendid effort, the vast multitude
repaired to the long lines of tables
along the banks of the classic Bogue

TEXAS COTTON SEASON
THREE Weeks EARLIER
Railroads Rush Staple to Galveston
for Shipping to North
ern Ports.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 16.-That
the cotton season In Texas opened up
three weeks earlier than usual this
year is borne out by statement is
sued Wednesday giving the total num-
ber of bales of cotton which has been
shipped through Houston since Sep
tember | this year and the total num-
Der OF bales shipped for the CORE
spending days last year. The total
shipments for the first part OF Sep
tember, 1910, show an increase OF
more than 10000 bales. or an increase
OF about 35 per cent over the ship
ments for the corresponding days last
year.
This unusual heavy shipping at the
opening of the season is said to be due
10 the good price. cotton is bringing
now Another reason for the heavy
shipping is due. so commercial and
cotton agents of Fort Worth railroads
say. is that the shippers are sending
their cotton into Galveston as soon as
possible in order that they may not
miss a ship and be forced to lose the
use of their money while waiting for
another ship.
The Texas railroads are carrying
out the plans which they made short
time ago for the prompt handling OF
cotton and all lines report that their
special cotton trains and fast freights
are doing big business. The special
cotton train run .by the International
e. Great Northern railroad made a
record Wednesday of loading and haul
