expressed that every member of the
order was not out to hear the Grafton.
The theme of the talk was a higher
fraternalism. After the departed
members of the lodge had been duly
called to mind the speaker drew from
the example of their lives the foun-
dations for advocating a more ideal
spirl; of fraternalism, that which at
tracts mad holds men in a common
bond. The one great aim is better
ment over the conditions prevailing.
The ideal to be attained Is the Father
hood of God and the wider dissemina-
ton of the idea of the brotherhood OF
man. Singleness of purpose is not
selfishness where the ends striven for
are the elevation of the conditions OF
society. The Modern Woodmen were
lauded for the great and practical
work they have accomplished in this
direction, the principles of the Or.
ganizatiOn were laid upon the right
foundations and the good that has
been accomplished by the society
passes understanding.
Rev. McCord is a rapid talker and
his ideas have the force OF unanswer-
able argument. His assertions were
backed by the facts we'll understood
and acknowledged by Woodmen them
selves and those who heard his
words carried away with them a
wholesome lesson.

DONATED" A HUNDRED.

Yazoo City Herald: Captain H. l..
Taylor, n of Yazoo county's best
known and most beloved citizens, was
tapped for 500 by Major Vardaman.
The transaction came about as follows:
Capt. Taylor was a member of the
board of trustees of the Insane hospital
during the Vardaman administration as
governor. Coming into jackson from
the hospital, on a street car, after one
of his official visits to the institution
with Gov. Vardaman, the latter said
that he was thinking of organizing a
newspaper company and would like to
have Capt. Taylor subscribe for some
Of the stock.
Capt. Taylor's reply was, that while
he did not think the enterprise would
prove a paying investment, yet out of
his regard for the governor he would
subscribe.
Nothing more was said about the
matter for some time. Capt. Taylor f.

nally received a letter from Governor
Vardaman, saying that he was about
ready to organize 1.-The Issue Publish
ing Co." and would be glad to have him
forward his (TaylJr's) check for the
amount of stock he wanted to subscribe.
By the next mail Capt. Taylor sem
his check payable to Jas. X. Vardaman
for 500. Although that was several
years ago, Capt. Taylor has never re-
ceived any acknowledgment from Mr..
Vardaman that he ever received the
money, nor has he ever received
cents worth of stock in 1.-The Issue
Publishing Co."
That Mr.. Vardaman received the
check and collected the 500, Capt.
Taylor has unquestioned proof. The
proof is that in due course of time the
check came back to Capt. Taylor en-
dorsed upon the back "Jas. X. Varda-
man." 1t is possible-but not prob
able-that the endorsement will not be
denounced as an infamous forgery"
by Mr.. Vardaman, as he did his sigma
ture or pass 1854. But the Herald
would advise Mr.. Vardaman not to do
that, for there is other evidence of it's
being genuine
Would not common courtesy have de-
manded that Mr.. Vardaman acknowl-
edge the receipt of Capt. Taylor's 800,
and would not common honesty have
required him to send certificates of
stock in The Issue Publishing Co. to
the value of 500?
The Herald submits this matter to
those who believe in honesty and fair
dealing. Mr.. Vardaman cannot hide
behind his subterfuge of poverty fer
not acknowledging that ne received TIE
money. 1t would have cost HIM no
more to have done this than it did to
solicit by letter the amount Of stock he
wanted Capt. Taylor to take in the en-
terprise.
To all appearances it was a hold-up
of a friend for 800.

man with a clean record, both public

ENDORSEMENT FROM ROCKIES.

Editor Sentinel-Please allow me a
short space in your Alexander depart
ment. | have just read the last issue
of your paper, always a very welcome
guest, and said to myself how | agree
with you in politics.
Well, since my friend Brewer has no
one to oppose him, we will just elect
him Governor by reclamation and pass
on to the purpose of this writing.
Let me say in the beginning that the
longer l am away from Mississippi, the
more l love the state that gave me
birth. While l have chosen the West

myself with her every interest, still
my heart beats warm for the great
Magnolia State. Nothing touches her

not a chronic office-seeker.


The South today is on the eve of an
era of wonderful development along
agricultural lines. and this is being
greatly encouraged by the Agricultural
department at Washington. We need
men in the senate and house who are
willing to cooperate with the federal
government and the best people and
statesmen of other sections of the
country in securing the aid of the gen.
eral government in all our industries and
enterprises where such aid is given to
any section. The best and thoughtful
people everywhere can but have the
utmost respect for Mr.. Alexander, and
he is a man who would not fritter away
his time on any hobby, but would do
his level best to secure the help to
which we are entitled from the federal
government. Besides needing the aid
Of the general government in our ami
NAL and agricultural interests, our nat
ural water courses need to be cleaned
cut aad wet lands to be drained, and
the railroads to be made to give us
reasonable rates. Nh. Alexander's eff
forts would be along these and other
practical lines, and to my way of think
ing he would accomplish more that
would be of real benefit to the people
than any other candidate in the race.
We a'so need legislation in Congress
to enable Us to better enforce our pro-
hibition laws. and Mr.. Alexander's rec.

Twelve Reasons for VOTING
for Hon. C.H. Alexander
for the U.S.. Senate.

/. Vote for C. H. Alexander because
of his ability.
2. Vote for him because he has been
on the right side of every moral ques-
ton.
8. Vote for him because he knows
the needs of the masses of the people.
4. Vote for him because he has used
his talents and his small worldly pos
sessions for good purposes.
5. Vote for him because of his early
surroundings and because he knows the
distresses of those with little money
and no bank account.
6. Vote for him because as a lawyer
he would not accept fees to further
matters that he believed inimical to the
morals and material welfare of the
public.
7. Vote for him because of his con-
sistent record on prohibition.
s. Vote for him because he has not
professed one thing to the public and
practiced another behind their backs.
9. Vote for him because he would &c
to Washington City without any M
mics up there who would be in the way
Of his securing any special legislation
for his people.

ity as a debator and because you know
that he is capable of handling any ques-
ton that might come up before the u.
S. Senate.
II. Vote for him because he has al
ways sought to accomplish his ends by
argument rather than by ridicule and
by abuse.
II. Vote for him because there is
nothing in his private life nor public
record that you would object to your
boy emulating.

strength in the balance of the state as
he is here, he will be elected. There
can be nothing said against him. Vote
for him.
As a final word to those who are
more interested in saving the state
from the blight of Vardamanism than
in electing anybody to the senate, l
want to say that the way to make sure
of this is to vote for Alexander and see
that he goes into the second primary.
Many doubt Percy's ability to beat
Vardaman IN the second race; nobody
doubts Alexander's ability to defeat
him. For the sake of our great state.

MR.. CAVETT ON SENATORIAL
RACE.
Hoehne, Colorado.

When l went to Vardaman, as | had
promised to do, and as every member
of the Legislature knew l would do as
soon as Alexander was out of the race,
| voted an open ticket for him every
ballot, not ever giving my good old
friend, Col. Street, a complimentary
vote; and when he was defeated | was
one of the first to raise the cry, "Wait

my support to the white chief" in the
present contest, and | have never wa
vered a single minute in my allegiance
to him.
Now then, the question has been
asked why did l introduce that resolu-
ton generating Percy from all blame,
and say there was nc faint on his COM
mission. did it because l did not be-
lieve that Percy did a single act in that
caucus that | would not have done my
self had l been in his place. l never
attended an old-fashioned convention
and l have attended all of them since
1S75-but that the minority candidates
naturally, and as a matter of course,
combined against the majority man.
Percy had the state administration and
we would have been glad to have had
it, but l told Noel that l would not
have had any respect for him had he
not been against Vardaman. Percy had

Hill, Tom Catchings and he also had
Bob Miller, Longino and others for
whom l have the highest respect and
whom Mississippi has delighted to
honor, and we would have been glad to
have had these men for US. And then,
because they saw fit to oppose Varda'
man were we to say that these men,
and such men as Kyle, who walked the
plank and gave up his place in congress:
rather than sacrifice his principles anc
go for free silver; such men as Adam
Byrd. who has reflected honor upon the
state ever since his election to con.
gress; and Judge Anderson, who woulc
not even lie to an insurance agent

did not want their support? l coulc
not see why that we should condemn

gotten the nomination. So | was glat
to introduce a resolution stating thii
fact, and to show that the other mem

that l live in a state where we have
more than one big man, and l am prouC

States Senate. |, for one, am not dis
posed to try to bring reproach upon OF
