EXIT VARDAMAN.

It is not always that good comes out of Mississippi, but the remark able farewell speech of Senator Cor don, who held the high office of sen ator for sixty days, calls attention to
 the reasons for general felicitation in the defeat of Ex-Governor Varda- man in the recent senatorial primary The magnanimous and patriotic utter ances which characterized a large part of the valedictory of the ad in terim senator from Mississippi sug- gests the hope that the new senator is of the same stripe That he is of different sort from Vardaman is to be taken for granted from the fact that the latter was overwhelmingly defeated.
 Senator Gordon rebukes the fire
 eating negro-baiters and 'unrecon-
 structed" demagogues in the South who pose as statesmen He pays a high tribute to the bravery of the soldiers who fought on both sides of the great war and declares that the line between the two sections ought to be wiped out in totality as it is wip- ed out eriodically-every Fourth of July, for instance. These are senti- ments which are worthy of the heart jest commendation and shine all the more luminously in the light of Yard amans defeat. Some weird states men have come out of the South no more weird than have come out of other sections of the country, per haps. But another term of Vardaman would have been a calamity to a DOT tion of the Union which is already feeling the stimulus of the new na- tional enthusiasm and is being bound fast to the other sections of the coun- try by the times of trade, the bonds of new patriotisf-the New South, cherishing the imperishable memories of the past but looking with the same optimismf toward the future which is the common destiny of all America.
 Gordon is a name to conjure with in this new South, which has had enough of men of the Vardaman stripe, in whom even sincerity is folly and insincerity doubly dema- gogic. In the national window one of the brightest lights has been shin ing for Mississippi, and when men like Gordon can get into the United States Senate and men like Vardaman can be kept out of it, it is time to tender Mississippi very hearty con-

ghey obtained the votes of both the anti-saloon and the whisky elements by misrepresentation. On this point he said:
 T am reliably informed that the wholesale whiskey interests outside of Arkansas contributed large sum toward Governor Donaghey's election. The reason I mention these matters is that Governor Donaghey is seek ing to muddy the waters and attract attention away from himself by in- jecting into this campaign matters that do not belong init. He is at i tempting to prejudice the balance of the state against the city of Little Rock by asserting that I live in Lit tie Rock and am backed by Little Rock ring and the statehouse ring. when, as a matter of fact, Governor Donaghey today owns more property ] in Little Rock than I ever hope to own, and he has appointed more Lit tie Rock men to office than any of his predecessors, including H. L. l Remmel, the head of the Republican ring.
 The only office l ever held was as sheriff and tax collector of Pulas- Xii county, and my record there is public and open, and l am glad to say that I turned over to the county treasurer more than $7,OO0 in excess fees, the largest amount ever turned over by any officer in the state.
 T have over my own signature re- peatedly said that efforts have been made and efforts would be made seeking to intimidate and bulldoze by attaching odium to my candidacy by resorting to this usual cheap method of a man whose record is not good and which he cannot defend, and for that reason he wants to attract attention to some other place.
 T want the Democrats of Arkan- sas to investigate my ability and in- tegrity thoroughly, and I feel that af- ter doing so they will come to the conclusion that Donaghey is simply trying to attract, attention from his own unsavory record
 At this point MT. Kavanaugh made the most severe charges, in words and terms unmistakable and unequivocal, saying that he mot only insisted that Governor Donaghey is not a good Governor, but that he is not a good contractor, and that affidavits and statements are proof sufficient to jus tify allegations that he has been guilty of acts not conducive to the good of the state.
 He also said that Governor Dona- ghey had appointed number of Re- publicans and Socialists to responsi- ble positions after he had been elect ed as Democrat. These, said he, include H. L. Remmel, J. F. Mayes, Dr. Meriweather, Brockman, of Log an county; o. P. Nixon of Van Buren and J. B. Lewis of Craighead, all of whom he said, are Republicans, and Ed Douglas, Socialist, fora mine in spector.

4 SOCIAL EXPERIMENT.


 purpose it was a pretty mean trick that Mrs. Alma Webster Powell of New York played upon a number of her friends when she invited two poor girls to her home, dressed them in her own expensive finery and in troduced them for what they were not-heiresses. Mrs. Powell seems to be fond of doing bizarre things She is suffragette of the extremest kind and poses as a social reformer and student of sociology. It was she, it will be remembered who was said to have advocated kissing cam paign to secure votes for women though we believe she denied the charge.
 The latest exploit of Mrs. Powell can be considered nothing more than a poor joke in extremely bad taste. She wished to prove that wealth and false pride form the social barrier" The two poor girls who were taken in hand, lavishly gowned and ex- plotted as belonging to the social set, played a very unfortunate part in the farce. They entered into the plan for the deliberate purpose of decep- tion That in itself was enough to subject them to severe criticism No doubt they thought it would be great fun to deceive the men guests. The deception, according to Mrs. Powell, was quite successful There was a foreign count in the list of guests and he fell victim to the charms of one of the disguised impostors. Therefore Mrs. Powell feels justified
 in saying that her experiment in showing tha: wealth and false prize form the social rrier" was an ln~ qualified success.
 If Mrs Powell demonstrated any, thing, she demonstrated something that every person knew already. ov,I fo1 1,,rido of hn nrf apparently so familiar to Mrs. Powell no doubt form a barrier in the social set to which she belongs. But that barrier is not general nor genuine. It does not prevail among people of refinement generally. By having these two young women in her home she vouched for their character and antecedents. As her guests they must have been considered eligible and not rank impostors If the count fell in love with one of them, it was not because he represented any spe- cial social quality, but rather because
 he was the average idle fortune hunt CT who regards rich jewels and fine clothing as evidences of high rating in the matrimonial market.
 Mrs Powell's experiment might have demonstrated something if she mad invited to her house men of fine character and honest purpose. It is certainty that if such a man had fallen in love with a poor girl who was masquerading as a rich one he would have been disillusionized more by the fact of her trickery than be- cause of her lack of wealth. It was not to the credit of either Mrs. Pow ell, her guests or the two girls that the imposture was successful Just as the best men do not go ahead on fortune-hunting tours of fashionable houses, so the best women do not pose and strut as baits for matri- monial fishing. The whole experi- ment is disgusting.

MIR. G. +. Newman the Victim of a
Man Who Passed Himself Off
as a Government Official.

"Dunder en- bitten, Got en- Hem
NELL" exclaimed Baker c. F. New
man as a Herald man strolled into
his place the other day. "You vos
the very mon wants to see,' con-
tinued Mr.. Newman. "Vat does
yer tink A rascal vat calls hem
self revenoo officer comes into my
blaze der udder day undt stheals
dirty dollars from NIT my office
desk"
Mr.. Newman was very much ex-
ercised over the affair. And sure
enough the kind-hearted German
had been victimized for that
amount. AS the story goes, ons w.
b. Moss, claiming to be an employee
of the International Revenue De-
partment, with headquarters at
Washington, blew into town and
made the acquaintance of a num-
Der of people, among them Mr., New
man. He was a smooth-tougued
fellow and it was not long before
he got into the good graces of the
kindly-disposed German baker.
Sometime during the day Mr.. New
man sent the man to the postotfice
for his mail, giving him his bunch
OF keys. En- route to the postoffice
Moss appropriated to himself the
key to Mr.. Newman's desk and
thereby hangs a tale of woe. In
the desk were thirty dollars of
hard-earned money and later in the
day when Mr.. Newman looked for
his money it was gone. A search
for the revenue officer and the key
revealed the fact that both had
taken possage on southbound
train and were nowhere to be
found.
The loss falls heavily on Mr..
Newman. He has been to consider
able expense in getting his bakery
started and recently he moved into
better quarters and had spent all of
his surplus money in making still
better improvements. He is an
hohOi aDiS, upiiShJ SltiISH anu lS
working hard to establish an en-
Fterprise in Dillon that should re-
ceive the support of the people.
The Herald sincerely hopes that Mr..
Newman will recover his money and
that the guilty party who has caus-
ed him so much distress will be
brought to justice.

A negro was shot by a white man
named Honneycut on Mr.. j. G. Cot
tingham's place at Gallavon Friday
night. Honneycut had had a row
with the negro and went to his
house for the purpose of settling or
renewing the difficulty. The negro
slammed the door in Honneycut's
face and the white man pulled his
pistol and began shooting through
the door. One of the bullets took
effect in the negro's hand and an
other struck one of the negro's chill
dren. Neither is seriously hurt
Hcnneycut took leg bail and when
Sheriff Lane reached the scene he
could not be found. The first re-
port that reached Dir,h concerning
the affair was greatly exaggerated.
Honneycut is tenant on Mr.. Cot
plantation.
