SKETCH OF SENATOR-ELECT PERCY.

Hon. Leroy Percy was born in Wash
ington county, November 9th, 1861. He
was the second of five children. Mr..
Percy's father was Col. William Percy,
a native of Alabama. Col. Percy was
one of the foremost men of the state,
and though his business interest in the
delta engrossed most of his time, was a
power in state politics throughout his
life. He was the political leader of the
democrats during reconstruction days,
when the delta suffered more than any
other section because of its overwhelm-
ing black majority, and was widely
known as ''the Grey Eagle of the Delta. !"
Col. Percy was recognized as one of the
ablest lawyers of the country. His man.
tie fell upon his eldest son, who was
nominated for the United States senate
Tuesday, and who is recognized as in
heriting much of his fathers ability as
a lawyer and perhaps equaling him in
capacity of organization and leadership
of men.
Mr.. Percy's mother was Miss Mamie
E. Armstrong, Of Tennessee.
Leroy Percy was a graduate of the
University of the South at Sewanee,
Tenn, and graduate also in law of the
University of Virginia. He also took
short course at Princeton, New Jersey.
After his collegiate course Mr.. Percy
returned to Gre9nville, Miss, where he
made his home, engaging in the prac
tice of law, which has been his hfe's
business. Upon the death of his father,
who was the senior member of the firm
o f Percy &; Yerger, lawyers, at Green
Y lie, Mr.. Percy was taken into the firm.
Mr.. Percy was married on the 9th day
of December, 1888, to Miss Camille E.
Bourges, of Louisiana, and to them was
born one child, VIM. A. Percy, named
for his grandfather.
Two brothers, Wm. A. Percy, of
Memphis, and Walker Percy, of Blrm-
ingham, both distinguished lawyers,
have been in Jackson since the contest

Governor Noel is Gratified.

Governor expresses his qualification
that the United Statee senatorial con-
test is ooer with and that the legislative
caucus for that purpose is no longer a
part OF the daily routine.
Furthermore, he is greatly pleased
with the choice made by the legislature
on the final showdown Tuesday night.
SIN point Of abilit," he said, "Mr.
Percy ranks with the best of those in
the public life of the country, and he
will undoubtedly prove to those who
elected him that their confidence has
not been misplaced"
The governor has taken a very lively
interest in the contest from the Begin
ming, six or seven weeks ago, although
he has never attended one Of the eau
cuses. He was in close touch with the
situation at every stage OF the game,
and probably knew every trump that
Was played.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Composed and read by Mary Mason Mcdonald,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A Mcdonald, at
public school celebration of Washington S
birthday. She is in the Fifth Grade, a mem
Der of Miss Edwards department.
George Washington was born in West
Morelaad County, Va, February 22,
1872.
Ills childhood was just about like any
other boys life of that time.
Once George Washington's father
bought him pretty little hatchet.
George was so proud Of it that he went
into the garden and cut down everything
he saw. He cut down one of his fathers
cherry trees.
His father was very angry and asked
who did it, and George Washington
said, "Father, canno5 ell lie; did
it with my hatchec."
His mother had a ve~y wild horse
which she could not Gsa. She wanted
him broke to harness, 50 one day when
some of Georges friends came to see
him he tried to ride Jns morse, but the
latter plunged a1d jumped and soon fell
dead.
When his mother saw her favorite
horse dead she asked, "Who killed my
horse? ?" George very brayely told her
that he did, and his mother said, 81
would rather lose hundred horses than
have my boy deceive me-"
When only sixteen years Of age
George was employed to survey Lord
Fairfax's large estate, and he took his
first hunting trip with Lord Fairfax.
The latter gentleman claims the honor
OF having taught him to hunt.
Later IN life he did distinguish him
self in the Revolutionary War.
George Washington was loved very
much by every one He was the first
president of the United States.
He was unanimously elected. AS he
travelled on horseback from Virginia to
| New York City, children on the road
| side threw flowers at his feet. And the
women and men welcomed him with joy
| full shouts.
| George Washington was president
two terms, and the people wanted him
| for third term, but he refused. He
| died December Ia, 1893.
The whole country went in mourning
| Washington has been called the ''Father
OF his country" and is remembered as
| the great American VINO was First in
war, first in peace and first in the hearts
OF his countrymen",

and was possessed of such qualifications

and was possessed OF such qualifications
as pre-eminently fit him for the trust.
And again: Mr.. Bowers was assured
! of Senator Moneys endorsement of the
application, and Hon. John Sharp Will
liams and other Democrats high in the
party's councils and of influence init
mated to him that their moral support
and personal effort would be forthcom-
| ing when desired.
| Mr.. Mendes, thus assured Of his posi-
ton relative to the appointment, and as
Democrat accepting the probability of
position for livelihood under an ad-
ministration other than Democratic
one, did not refuse it. In fact, he owed
it to the white people and Democrats of
Bay ST. Louis, who on Saturday last at
the polls gave him such an overwhelm-
ing majority. OF this fact there is no
questioning once offered him he owed
it to them not to finch for once in the
face of prospective criticism by carping
and jealous critics.
And from whom did he accept this
invitation to become an applicant?
A Democrat.
And from whom did he accept the en-
dorsement?
A Democrat.
And should he be ultimately success
full in receiving the appointment, it will
come to him unsought and unthought-
through the hands of Democrats, AND
1T WILL NOT BE WITHOUT PRECEDENT!
If it is blessed to give, then it is as
blessed to receive. Now, who will GEN.
sure Congressman Bowers and others
for giving the endorsement and assur-
ance of the appointment?
This ''campaign lie' was created and
nurtured by those who were sinking,
and in their agony they cried, but 10 no
avail, "Help me, CaSsius, or | sink!"

GOVERNOR NOEL AND THE LEGISLATURE

Governor Noel is giving the State of
Mississippi one Of the best and most
business-like admins trations it has ever
had, and his work in conn ection with
the present session of the Legislature is

show him to bo student of affairs and
man Of forethought. 1t is well Mis-

RAYMOND AT ZILLAF

Attracted by the low price of bear
ing orchards, three men who have
many interests in North Central
Washington, have been induced to
invest in the Yakima valley. Bear
ing orchards at $3.50 per acre are
unknown in this section, but We're
found by the Wcnatchee men in the
district south of here. Already they
are offered substantial profits al
though their purchases were made
only three months ago.
F. NJ. Upper has spent the past
week on the property and reports
that Dr. Stryker and Mr.. Raymond,
his associates, are very busy men.
They have established a commission
business to buy and sell fruit, are
building a warehouse and at the
same time caring for their own
tracts amounting to 140 acres, a
large part of which is in bearing.
They will market about so carloa is
of fruit
Dr. Stryker is an Everett resident
who has been associated with E. NJ.
Upper for some time. Mr.. Raymond
is a newcomer.

Editor Heacock, Chelan Leader.

Last week the editor OF the Lead
or spent a half day in Wenatcnee
attending the annual meeting OF the
State Press Association. This was
the first time he had seen the Red
Ample metropolis since he came
through there in June, 1903, en-
route to Chelan'
To those who are familiar with
the county seat town as it is now
and who knew it as it was then, 1t
is needless to remark the marvellous
transformation that has taken place
in those intervening seven years.
In the summer of 1905 Wenatcnee
was only village, boasting but two
or three blocks of poor frame busl-
ness buildings uneven and rocky
streets, and rickety plank sidewalks
Altogether a place which appeared
to the Fastener as a forlorn assem-
blage of human habitations set in a
waste of sagebrush which was
frightened only here and there by a
spot of green where the few FORUM
ate ranchers had water from a pri-
vate spring or ditch; today it is a
flourishing city, metropolitan in
many essentials, with graded ave-
nues, imposing brick blocks and
beautiful homes, while
Round about it orchards sweep
Apple and peach trees fruited deep"
And what is the magic which has
wrought this change? Simply wa

ously abundant but most unevenly
distributed element, carried by hui
man ingenuity and enterprise from
the rushing, roaring, useless noun
tain torrents where nature consigned
it, TO the barren, thirtsy land where
nature denied it, transformed des-
ert into wealth-producing orchard,
a mountain village into modern
city.
Wenatchee is literally built on
water.
This remarkable growth and de-
velopment is interesting in itself.
But to the resident of the Lake Che
Ian region its greatest interest lies
in the fact that it is an object les
son of what the future has in store
for this favored but as yet undevel-
Oped valley. Seven years ago the
Wenatchee high line ditch was
building but had not yet been COM
pleted, and the ten thousand acres
of land which it has since watered
and made a garden of Eden, was as
barren almost as the wastes of Sa-
hara
There are now in process of de-
velopment in the Chelan valley two
large irrigation projects AMI a num-
Der of small ones which, when they
are completed, as in all human prob
ability they will be within two or
three years at most, will water an
aggregate area greater than 10000
acres of the best fruit growing land
on Gods footstool.
Give the Chelan valley railway
transportation, and few years time
and with its irrigable lands, its wa
ter power, its attractive lake and
scenery, and its unestimated resour-
ces of mineral wealth, it will rival
if it does not surpass the rich and
beautiful Wenatchee.
To one who knows the Wenatchee
valley past and present, no stretch
of the imagination is required to
picture the fruitful future of the
Lake Chelan country.
