Soon after reading of the sudde

Soon after reading of the sudden
death of Senator Anse McLaurin, we
we said to close personal friend Of
ours, that's a veritable windtall to
ex-Gov. Vardaman. He has been
wanting to wear the Senatorial toga,
now he is virtually assured of the
honor. By some process of political
jobbery, the Legislature may not
name him, for the upexpired Term;
and that's extremely doubtful, as he
has the advantage of every man in
in the field by having the whole state
strung with his wires, yet if such
shonld happen to be the case. the re-
action on the minds of the people
that would follow such a course,
wsuld surely land him in the Senate
rial Chair in the next State Primary
election. Vardaman has a laudable
ambition for the place; is opposed by
good timber in the brilliant but I'M
schooled in political game Alexan-
der; but is reasonably and logically
the peoples choice far the vacated
seat in the upper House of Congress,
and 60 there he will, for this toss of
Fortunes wheel makes him prac-
tically invincible in that running
with the vox populi. Vardaman, we
are for with Scott out Of the way, in
the face of any demurrers we may
have to some of his radical ways
and views.

Jane Porter's Thaddeus of Warsaw

the National life of Poland and the
partitioning of its domains among
her envious and powerful neighbOrs.
The legend of MtNutt is a book

others with various countries, states

would occasionally show a squirt OF
cleverness. Such Governor Noel
displayed when he extricated him
self from the dilemma of appointing
a temporary Senator to sit in the de-
ceased McLaurin's chair until the
Legislature could elect a man for it.
The giving of the appointment to
Gordon, the old Confederate veteran,
was fitting tribute and honor and
relieved Noel from complications IN
the Senatorial choice.

That was a graceful thing for

he stating that having already allow
ed his. name to be used as a candi-
date for the Governor office in the
oncoming campaign, he felt rather
bound to not permit his political aspi-
rations to run in other channels. We
are glad he did so for several reasons,
one of which we give, is that so

during the present administration

we dislike to see one whom we ad-

afflicted with political ambitions as
TO collide with a lifelong friend as
would have been the case OF Scott
in the race with Vardaman, and thus
crush out Of two breasts one OF the
sublimest sentiments that can ami
mate the human hea TT, even
FRIENDSHIP. Scott showed the
true loftiness of his manhood in the
hour of testing and choose to cherish
the tie which bound Jonathan and
David, rather than selfish political
aggrandizement. This action will
considerably help his next Guberna-
Material candidacy.

Delight and pathos are ineXtrica-

Years day, 1t is only a eonven-
tional point of time; any other would
do as well. Every day closes an old
year and begins new one, but for
all that we cannot help feeling that
this day. which is agreed upon thro
out Christendom for The beginning
of new year, is somehow unique.
The pathos comes from the review
of the past, and from the sense that
another notch has been cut for us O..

es from the anticipation of the new
and better experiences of the year
to come. What interest any rational
psrson could have in having bis for
tame told is mystery. The zest
and charm of life consist largely in
the fact that each day is like new
page in the story. If you wish to
enjoy your book you do not, when it
is half read, turn to the closing chap
ter to discover how it turns out.
You do not thank anyone for telling
you the plot. 1t is so with life. There
is infinite satisfaction in each DAVIS
contribution to the record. You do
not want to anticipate it. 1t would
be curse if anyone could tell you
just what the year would bring. 1t
is Just as reasonable to suppose that
the year will be as happy as sad.
who can tell? Who can control that?
Are we not IN the hands, of God?.
That is the reason for a happy New

And down the street with cries of

Dashed after him. an angry crowd,
Made way for him, and smiled and

He reached the calaboose at last,
And when the iailer's daughter cast
A dozed roses in his path
And asked him for his photograph,
And all the thieves began to shout
Appeals to him to get them out,
Suspicion had become so strong
That John knew there was something
wrong.
And so there was, as they with mirth
Explained to him:The pig was worth

Was not mere thieving, but bit

No penalty. The pig was his,
