HON. EARL BREWER.
Next Governor of Mississippi Spends
Night in yazOO City.

Hon. Earl Brewer, Missssippi's next
governor, without providential inter-
ference, spent Sunday night in Yazoo
City, leaving on the early train Monday
morning for Belzoni to look after some
business interests:
Gov. Brewer is in the best of health
and is wearing smile as broad and as
big and as great as Major Vardaman's
majority. He was one of the candi--
dates whom the Vardaman steam roller
did not get chance TO run over, having
been nominated without opposition. He
was kept busy by his friends while in
the city, numbers of whom paid their
respects to him.
Seated in the comfortable reading
room of the Elks' Home Sunday night,
the next governor was the center Of
quite crowd. All attempts to get an
expression from him about the primary
| and its results on the first of August
were futile. Mr.. Brewer was entirely
IN a reminiscent mood, and related
numbers of incidents about the cam
paign of 1907, when he, Hon. Charles
Scott, jeff Truly, T. U. Sisson and E.
F. Noel were the contestants for the
prize. but nary word about the CAM.
paign Of 1911 and his own desires for
future honors.
notwithstanding some of the envi-
ronments that will surround Governor
Brewer during his administration, if he
will conserve his health and his
strength, the opportunity is open to
him to make for Mississippi one of the
best chief executives the state ever
had. Young, strong and vigorous, a.
man of determination. trained and
logical mind, he will assume his re-
sponsible duties untrammeled and un-
hampered by political promises, and
when he contemplates who would sue
ceed him in case of death, it behooves
him to care we'll for the state. This
the Herald feels sure Mr.. Brewer will
do, and that he will retire from the Of
flee with the plaudits of his fellow-citi-
zens, We'll done, thou good and faith
full servant. - Yazoo City Herald.
