A Matter of Sentiment

The Chronicle dispatches few
DAYS ago recorded the fact that
when Hon. John Sharp Williams,
the new senator from Mississip-
ri. entered the senate he took the
desk used by his illustrious pre-
decessor jefferson Davis, and
that he then and there attained
the summit of his ambition.
A man who is able to appre-
ciate such a man as jefferson Da-
Wis. and who so esteems his char
acter and services as to desire TO
follow in his footsteps and sit as
senator of the same state in the
same great deliberative body
can be trusted to meet the duties
of the position as becomes a sen
ator and a gentleman.
Such an ambition is evidence
of the possession of state pride, OF
admiration for great character
and unselfish service and of re
sponsiveness to the influence OF
lofty example. without which
worthy achievement is impossi.

The dispatches stated that the
lesk which Senator Williams will
use bears the scars and mgks

The Signal is reliably informed
that DR.. A. O. Scarborough will
begin the building of an opera
house and hotel at once, both
buildings to be OF the best press
ed brick and modern in every re
Spect. The plans are as follows (:
to build a twO-story building Box
90 feet on the lot west of the
building now occupied by the
Stimson Drug Company and the
Scarborough Sanitarium to be
used as an opera house. then
build a two-story annex on the
south end of these two lots trout

upper stories now occupied hN

modern conveniences.

The doctor also intends to
build another fine building to be
used as a sanitarium and which
will be located out on the hill and
viii be ready for occupancy by
the time these other Improvements
are completed.
The building and promoting OF
the above houses and enterprises

state which he so dearly loved
and so faithfully served should
have been so fortunate in the Sc
lection of one who will occupy the
seat he once honored. Mr.. Will
liams is a gentleman by birth and
breeding, a man Of wealth and
culture, a scholar of varied at
tainments, having had the adj
vantages of the best schools in
America and Europe, and that he
is a man of integrity, of convic-
ton and of action goes without
saying, for Mississippi does not
send any other kind of men to
the senate.
II is no disparagement of his
ability or fitness to say that he
will not measure up to the stand
ard of jefferson Davis as scholar
or orator, because those who
reached that standard have in
deed been few in number. The
equal of jefferson Davis is not in
the senate now and has not been
for many years past, because he
was an encyclopedia of accurate
learning upon every subject with
which statesmen are called upon

a statesman he combined the

BITTEN BY oENTEPEDE
Buford Harrison Bitten by Cente-
pede Near Arab Last
Wednesday

Buford Harrison, who lives
near Arab was bittne by a Cente-
pede while feeding stock, and has
since been confined to his bed a
very sick man. His physician
states that he has passed the dan
ger mark. The Centepede in
question was about one and one
half inches long. Mr., Harrison,
who is farming out near Arab
was out feeding his stock when
in some unaccountable way the
venomous insect got under his
clothes and stmg him. To those
not acquainted with the Cente-
pede we will state that they re-
semble what is called the thous-
legged worm from which fact
they derive this name. They both
sting and bite. A full grown one
measures eight or ten
inches in length. AS is proven by
the case of Mr. Harrison, the
Centipede's bite is very poison
