Liberty, MISS, Aug. 9TH.
Editor Leader Seeing the oft
repeated statement in the Jack
son Evening Liar" that Bilboism
and Vardamanism are sadly on
the wane in all parts of Missis-
sippi, / am dropping you few jots
TO let you know that you won t
have to pull down your Vardaman
sign yet awhile.
Twas over in McComb Friday
night and heard the irrepressible
Bilbo. deliver an address of some
two hours to as fine an audience at
the City Hall as was ever assembled
in any town in the State, and to
say that he received an ovation at
the hands of the five hundred voters
present is simply swapping words,
as the audience just ran away with
enthusiasm, and when Bilbo raped
old granny Noel, the boys went
absolutely wild with delight.
Whatever Noel has done or has
not done, he is undoubtedly the
most despised and contemptuously
regarded man in South Mississippi
today, that was ever known in the
history of the State.
When | got back home to Liberty
Saturday, | found the same unter-
lrifed Bilbo handing 'em few
from the same platform where
Hon. Percy E. Quin had made a
magnificent address in the fore
noon, and if this much villified
senator hasn't got some kind Of a
rabbit foot, then / am very much
mistaken. for the way he took that
seemingly hostile crowd and Bilboed
them into tumultous enthusiasm in
the course of an hour and half
of speaking. was a wonder to be-
hold.
The best men here say that as a
net result Of Saturdays. meeting at
the court house. where some two
thousand people were assembled.
Quin will get about ninety per
cent Of the county vote for Con-
gress and Bilbo could pull about
Ielghty per cent of the county vote
for Governor, or any other old job
he had a mind to run for.

If some mothers in our city could
see their little ones as others see
them on the streets in the hands Of
their careless and Indifferent
nurses, they would shudder at the
dangers they repeatedly encounter,
and wonder if guardian angels do
really protect their darlings. On
the railroads; on the streets; In
front of vehicles, autos, and what
not, and drinking in the thick dust.
it is q miracle that some fatality
has not already been recorded. But
it may be that only seeds Of disease
have been sown for future years
SO nobody will be shocked at their
development, nor will anybody,
perhaps, trace from effect back to
cause, and know the origin Of some
malignant foe to health. and Provi-
dence will be blamed for il all.
when, as IN SO many cases. the laws
Of nature and common sense have
been disreearded and the penalty
has to be paid as q result These
negro nurses generally care more
for their beaux and the company
they keep than for the little
charges they are paid 10 protect j.

BROOKHAVEN HAS
a. MINERAL WELL
Like the Famous cOOper's Well. It Was
Discovered by a Dream.

Near the South end Iof First
Street in Brookhaven, in the sec
tion known as Petersburg, has been
discovered a we'll. the water OF
which is reputed to have valuable
medicinal virtues. The we'll is
owned by an old but reputable me-
gro, named R. D. Allen. and like
the famous Cooper's Well in Kinds
county, was discovered as the re-
suit of a dream. The story of the
we'll and it's discovery is told by
Allen in his own language. as fol-
lows:
Brookhaven, Miss.
In the year of our Lord 1872,
dreamed dream. A voice spoke
to me and said, if you will dig a
we'll right here you will have water
good for you to drink and to bath
IN for your health: and IN the year
of 1874 / had we'll bored at that
place and the water was good, but
we could not wash clothing in the
water. The water was good and
cool and had a light brown color
and would stain everything that
you put it in, and after it was
drawn about 5 minutes there would
form a brown skum on the water.
The Holy One has shown me this
water and not by a chance that /
am In possession of this water, for
the Holy One has shown me.

Yours truly,

Mr.. K. D. Allen, Brookhaven,
Miss.
Dear Sir:-Referring to the sam
pie of water received from you
some time ago, we wish to state
that our chemists have now had an
opportunity of completing an ex-
animation of it, and we find it to
contain: Grains of solid matter
per U. S. gallon, 8.59.
The sample is acid in reaction,
and the solid matter in solution is
made up most largely of iron and
sodium. The sample contains
some lime and small amounts of
magnesium and aluminium. The
amount of sulphates in solution is
small, but there are relatively
large quantities of chlorldes and
carbonates.
However, the total amount of
solid matter carried by this water
is small, and so far as these in
organic salts in solution are con-
cerned, the water ought to be very
satisfactory for any kind of use.
But you of course know that all
healthful drinking waters must be
carefully protected from contamina-
tion by surface drainage.
Trusting that this information
will be of interest and value to
you, and assuring you that we are
always pleased to serve you. l am.
Yours truly.
w. F. HAND.
/ would be pleased to have every
body to come and partake of this
wonderful water without money or
price, until the 18th day Of August.

That Straw Ballot at WinOna. Miss.

The Vicksburg Herald. in it's
issue of July 27. published the fol-
lowing special to the Commercial
Appeal:
Winona, Miss. July %. A
ballot box was placed in front of a
lstore here today for about one hour
and an election held by a Vardaman
man. Result: Leroy Percy AT;
Vardaman 80; Alexander IL
The Herald made gleeful COM
ment on this staw ballot and cited
the fact that DR.. B. F. Ward. a
strong friend Of Vardaman. lived
in Winona.
The Kilmichael Record, of Aug
lust 5, gives the following result of
a straw ballot taken at Winona
Saturday, %: Vardaman IT'S;
Percy SO; Alexander "a.
And the Record gives the follow
ling as the result of, a straw ballot
taken at Duck Hill on the same
day: s'Vardaman So, Percy g.,
Alexander g.
These ballots are later and larger
than the one which the Herald
chuckled over, but Of course The
Herald and the Commercial Appeal
will not publish them.

Better Raise Turnips Than Maltreat Animals Says
 Mir. Coleridge
FOREIGNER JUST
 ABHORS CRUELTY
Son of Late Lord Chief Jus tice Advancing Crusade
 Is Wealthy

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-"I never shot bird, never hooked a fish, l never attended a meet, ' said the Hon. orable Stephen Coleridge, son of the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge of England. "I have disliked cruelty all my life, and this may explain why take such an interest in the antlvivisec- tion movement"
 Mir. Coleridge has come to be regard ed as the chief exponent of those in England who are doing their best to stamp out the practice of experiment upon living animals. He came to this country a few years ago to deliver a series of talks upon antivivisection and he will talk in this country again.
 Rich, prominent in English society, a lawyer and author of several books, Mr. Coleridge makes no explanation for his crusade, except to say that he ab- hors cruelty, and since he has come to regard vivisection as both cruel and wicked he intends to do his utmost to get rid of the practice.
 "Mind you," said he, "I am not so bigoted as to say that some good may not come of vivisection. Possibly there may; but l want you to give me the proof. And I want to make it clear that do not object to experiments where there is no pain, no suffering. For instance, do not think that it is a crime against morals for a scientist to anaesthetize dog to operate upon it at will, and then while the animal is still unconscious, to kill it.
 But that is not the practice among the medical men, and, therefore, l say that it would be better for the world and better for the human race had th"r' never been such thing as vivisection; better had the men who devoted their time to this work employed themselves in raising turnips. Man may have q right to take life, but he has no right to torture.
 Medical Men Hypocrites

suffer you can save human life. I deny that by operating upon a dog in one room you can restore to health a man lying sick in this room, and for medical men to base their arguments upon that ground is hyprocisy' ''
 But the medical records say that hu- man life has been conserved through the discoveries that have come, in part, from vivisection," was ventured.
 Yes, the medical records say that. but where do these records come from ? From the hospitals, where individual cases are picked out. I reject those fig ures, l sa yto the advocates of suffering and the advocates of inhumanity, deal with the total number of deaths in community and compare them. I have taken up the number of deaths in Great Britain from all diseases. l have taken the statistics showing the deaths from smallpox in 1,000,000 of population, of the deaths from diphtheria, from levers and from all causes. I have taken the deaths for twenty years preceding 1884 and for twenty years following.
 "Those figures show that the diseases which have escaped the peculiar opera
  ed decrease, while the diseases which have come under the protecting care of the vivisectiOnist show a marked in- crease per 1,O00000 of population. Therefore, I draw the deduction that vivisection broadly has been a failure and a sham, and crime against the morals of a people supposed to be civil ized and Christianized. I cannot see how a man can be Christian and a gentleman and give his approval to this brutal practice"
 One of the questioners put this to MT. COleridge:
 r'During the last few years Dr. Dix. on, head of the Pennsylvania health de- Dartment, distributed to every city and hamlet antitoxin prepared for use in cases of diphtheria. Since that time the has decreased rom about 30 l per cent to less than 10 per cent. How 10 you account for that?"
 Doubts Antitoxin's Value
 Cranky, I could not make a proper 'eply until l had gone over the cases given in the report. How do you know | hat the persons to whom the antitoxin | vas administered were i'll with diph- | heria9 Possibly they had mild cases of lore throat, and the wonderful results were attributed to antitoxin. I know hat in one great hospital in London cures were claimed, when, IS a matter of fact, the patients were lot suffering from the specific diseases mentioned.
 "Well, then, do you concede that medical men have learned valuable hings through the dissection of human 
 "Yes, suppose that is true" ;"
 "Do you think they can learn more y exposing the living nerves of ami nals or observing the organs in actual 'perationa"
 "That is an expert question. It is or the expert to reply. My argument s based upon the position that we hu- nan beings have no right to make any hing suffer. I deny that by torture ,ou can save life.
