THE McLAURIN VACANCY.
Gov. Noel Says he viii ReappOint the
Old Bird Hunter If the Legislature
Doesn't Fill It.

jackson, Miss, Feb. Is. Gov
ernor Noel today expressed the
opinion that the Legislature will
break the deadlock and elect
United States senator before its
final adjournment: that the mem
bers will finally subordinate per-
sonal preferences and select a man
who will be acceptable to a major
ity of the people.
The governor added, however.
that in the event the deadlock con-
tinues he feels confident that the
United States Senate will recognize
reappointment of Colonel James
Gordon, the temporary senator:
that he had advice direct from
Washington that the Senate. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike, will
reverse the Quay precedent and
permit Senator Gordon to hold the
seat for three years.
Should the Legislature fail to
elect, Governor Noel declares that
he will re-appoint Senator Gordon.
| and put the matter up to the Unit
ed States Senate for decision.

BIOGRAPHICAL.
The New Senator Born in Washington
County. Miss. Nov. 9. 1871.

Jackson. MISS. Feb. %. Leroy
Percy was born in Washington
county. Miss, Nov. 8. 1861, and is
the son of the late Colonel William
A. Percy, formerly of Alabama. He
graduated from the University of
the South at Sewanee, Tenn, and
is also a graduate of law of the
University of Virginia. His post
graduate course was at Princeton
University.
After his collegiate course Mr..
Percy returned to Greenville and
engaged in the practice Of law in
connection with the management Of
extensive land interests, and since
early manhood has taken an active
part in the political and other
affairs of the State although he has
never heretofore held public office.
He was married in 1883 to Miss
Camille e. Bourger. Of Louisiana.

Percy Nominated The fermentation
Process Won.

The Leader publishes elsewhere
the Picayune's telegraphic report
Of the nomination Of Mr.. Percy by
the secret ballot legislative caucus
in Jackson last night. The limited
space and time at our command,
before going to press, precludes
any extended editorial comment
here on the outcome Of this. the
most disreputable political contest
known in the Democratic annals Of
Mississippi. Time and scementa-
tion. the things so much needed
by the anti Vardaman combination.
won out at last by scratch. Max.
ing large and due allowance for
honest difference of opinion, con-
scientious and patriotic motives BY
those who opposed Gov. Vardaman
and overrode the popular will,
there is no room to doubt that
Doodle. booze and the abuse Of
official power and patronage were
the factors at last which turned the
scale in favor Of the successful Sc.
cret caucus candidate.
We do not say it in any spirit of
disappointment or bitterness; but
in all sincerity. the editor of The
Leader would deliberately choose
"a hundred defeats such as Varda-
mans, in preference to a Sena-
torial toga won by such means as
achieved victory for Mr. Percy.
For the first time in her history
"a Democrat will represent Missis-
sippi in the Senate of the United
States whose title to the Office is
stained and tainted by the methods
employed in securing it.
The honest masses must right the
wrong done them and the State. or
become craven vassals unfit for
popular suffrage and self.govern-
ment.

A Nicaraeuan Refaeee.

Apropos of the present strained
relations between the United States
and Nicaragua. it is an interesting
fact that less than year ago Doro-
/ thy Davies, appearing with Tim
Murphy in his comedy. Cupid and
the Dollar" soon to be presented
here, left the domain of Zelaya in
a hurry. glad to escape with her
life. Miss Davies was living at
the time with her mother and
brother on the latterss rich estates
near Managua. The Zelayan party
learned that Miss Davies brother
was in a sympathy with the Revolu-
tionary Party and was giving them
aid. while the Davies family in
turn, got wind Of the fact that
their estates were to be confiscated
and their lives were in jeopardy.
They lost no time making a hurried
exit. working their way into Mexi-
co and up to New Orleans. So
quickly were they compelled to
leave that their household goods
had to be abandoned. Miss Davies
is naturally not very strong for
Zelaya and only hopes that our own
Government will continue its good
start and clean up" down there.
But why send our army and
warships7' is the way she puts it.
"The Police Department Of almost
any city in America could whip all
of Nicaragua in one round.

Deal With a Bank.


Every man and woman should do
their business through the bank.
No matter how little you purchase
or how little money you have. it is
the safest and best plan to have it
in bank.
Reason this out a little and you
will see where you can save money
BY having an account at a bank.
Firts, let us take a man who has
but little money. He either car
ries that little in his pocket or
leaves it at home in the trunk or
some ohter hiding place. When be
wants anything from town he must
| 60 to town to buy it. If he had
his money in the bank he could
write out a check (every depositor
has d check book of his OWN for
any amount, making it payable to
any person Whomsoever he chooses.
Thus he can sit down. write out
Ais check for a certain amount,
lmail it with a letter and get what
eyre he wants delivered BY mail,
freight or express, as the case may
be. He thus saves a personal "Trip
I to town and thereby saves time,
which IS always money on thefarm.
With bank account, no matter
EhoW small, you are in position
always to send money away. You
don't have to 60 to town and buy
Ian express or postoffice order. You
merely sit down. fill out your
check, make it payable to the party
Ito whom you want to send your
lmoney. but it in al envelope with
\ d letter Of what you want to pay
for and the trick is done. You
save by this the expense Of q trip
Ito town to buy the money order,
the price paid for the money order,
and are enabled at all times to be
prompt ia your business dealings.
Any bank will take your account.
You can bank BY mail if you desire.
Besides the advantages referred to
you can keep a complete record OF
every cent you spend and what you
lspend ii fol. This record can be
kept on the stub Of the check you
Idraw.
Another good reason for banking
Iyonr money is the safety of it.
Your house may burn down al any
time and your money be burned
Iup; thieves may get it or you may
lose it in other ways. No matter
Eif you do lose your check book
your money is always sale. and Vol
can easily get another check b0oI

The crowd wanted to hear a
speech from the nominee, and as
soon as he could extricate himself
from the crush of men who were
overpowering him with congratula-
tions. the slight, weIl-knit figure
of the son Of the Gray Eagle of
the Delta" was seen making its
way toward the rostrum. For full
Iy five minutes Mr.. Percy stood
there, awaiting an opportunity to
make himself heard, as the din and
uproar of acclaim was deafening.
He spoke very briefly, without
emotion. calmly and weighing his
words WE'LL though without special
effort. He began by hoping that
the long. hard struggle which had
just been ended would leave as few
scars as it were possible for such a
struggle to impress upon any Of
those engaged. He thanked those
who had opposed him for their
courtesy and consideration, as much
as he would thank those who had
been with him in the fight. The
weight Of responsibility which had
been laid upon him, he declared,
was overpoWering.

CHARLTON COURIER
l wish to extend my heartfelt
sympathy to the relatives of the
late C, P. Vandiver, in this sad
hour of their bereavement. All
of the common people will great.
ly feel his loss. He was always
their friend and fought their
battles for them. He was the
only newspaper man in the
county that had the manhood to
stand by his convictions, and at
all times tell the truth about
those in office, and in the fight
in this county, for local option,
to work hard, first, last and all
of the time telling the people the
truth.
He championed the cause of
the people against great and
small or the county officials, ct
all times and has done great
good.
sincerely hope that his sue.
cessor may have the same spirit
of manhood and fairness, and
the moral courage to print the
truth fesrlessly, as has had Mr..
Vandiver.
Lastly, but not least, the peo.
pie want to see q thorough in
veshgation into the act that took
a good citizen from US, and wish
that all who may be involved in
his untlmely death be promptly
punished as deserved.
(Signed) A FRIEND.
