"dear people," His knowledge
that he would be made ridiculous
before an audience on such a pro
position is the reason why he will
not meet his opponent in debate.
He knows that to repeal the 10Th
amendment would require the vote
of every southern state and about
half of the northern states. He
knows that to advocate such a
proposition would be to revive the
bitter sectional feelings Of the
past, or else, to be ignored and set
upon as was the senator from Ida
no when he sought to revivify
the passions of the reconstruction
period during the session of con-
gress a year ago. Such a course
on the part of any southern sena-
tor would so antagonize the north
ern senators that he would never
have their support for the most
meritorious measures and his in
fluence in the senate would be
about the same as that of jeff Da-
Wis of Arkansas. This is the Sec
Ond time Vardaman has played
the demagogue.
In this campaign he comes again
with his TRADE about the "nig-
ger'' and the 10Th amendment. 1t
is strange that his promises on the
"nigger" question should have
any weight with the votes of Mis-
sissippi since he failed so utterly
to divide the school fund between
the races, but, ''mirabiIe dictu," !"
there are many voters whose pre-
judice against the ''nigger" is so
intense that they will take up the
widest vagaries if you but cry
"nigger!'' 'Enigger!'
But is there any reason for ad-
vocating this measure at this time!
For twenty years the negro has
taken no interest in politics. Has
not the constitution of Mississippi
settled this question? Is the re-
peal of the 10Th amendment a
live issue at this time in any
southern state? Have they not all
followed the example of Mississip-
pi and eliminated the negro from
Politicsa The only reason why he
takes up this question is that he
may play on the passions of the
masses and get their vote. So we
see again the demagogue.
In addition to his advocacy of
the repeal Of the 10th amendment,

IN MEMORIAM

'Mrs. VIM. F. Braggins died sud
denly of apoplexty."
These words came as a cloudburst
from clear sky to us, who had lately
seen our friend in the prime of woman
ly beauty, abounding in health, happi-
ness, gratiied ambition in family and
home, and with every environment to
make life desirable, Many citizeus of
Macon and Noxubee will remember the
beautiful and brilliant girl, Matte
Davis. who spent some years in Macon,
graduating at the Galloway Institute
The unique grace of that Texas girl in
simplest white robe, with a bright
''lone star" trembling in her dark
tresses. as she delivered her quantity
original graduating essay made
striking picture upon the eye and mem
Ory, and was a true index of the indie
pendent originality and loyalty of her
character and an expression Of her pas
siOnate devotion to her native state
During her school years in Macon
Matte endeared herself to many here
who loye ana honored her, and will be
panied to know that in the high noon
of her happy earthly JOY and useful
short span of her life, Matte concen-
trated all that usually makes up long
and successful existence. She was SO
intense in her temperament, her love,
her work, her ideals that life to her
was brimmed with vital actualities all
the time. 1t is JOY to US to know
that before her departure she could
look upon all her children grown, hap
PLY settled in life and filling places of
honor and trust. The writer recalls
the visit to her elegant new home in
New Orleans and her pleased interest
in showing us all the beautiful arrange
ments of house and grounds, but best
of all the "family jewels, her bright
little grandchildren that came daily TO
cluster about her. Her pride and devo-
tion towards these ''jewels" was sec
ond only to her admiring devotion to
her husband, who was ideal to her not
only as husband, father and family
head, but in him she exulted as a man
of force and influence among his fel
lows and success in the business and
social life of New Orleans.
Mrs. Braggins leaves her husband and
her youngest child, VIM. Braggins, Jr.,
in the home bereft of her radiant pres
sence. Four married children survive
Robert Braggins and Mrs. Kirkpatrick
of New Orleans, Mrs. Barnet of Mis-
sissippi and Mrs. Peel of Arkansas.
May the sustaining grace of God
abide with each member of her family.

Vardaman is doing his best to stir
the passions of the people to the
widest pitch by crying "secret
caucus" "corruption, ""bribery." :"
He has been in more ''secret eau
cusses" than any man before the
people, and we would never have
heard of the "secret caucus" if
Vardaman had succeeded in get
ting the nomination. And nobody
knew, or pretended to know, any
thing of the corruption and bribe
ry but the shameless BilSo. And
a jury, one half of whom were
Vardaman men, said that his
charge against Dulany was not
true. Nobody believes Bilbo's un
reasonable and unsupported tale
unless his partisan feeling has
overshadowed his Judgment.
1t is doubtless true that much
whisky was used by the friends of
some of the candidates. While
this is to be deplored, is it not
true of every political convention
that was ever held in this state or
in this county?
A distinguished senator from
Kansas, J. J. Ingalls,, once said,
"Purity in politics is an irri-
! descent dream" Was the So
called White Chiefs headquarters
entirely on a water basis? So we
see our perennial candidate again
appealing to the passions of the
people for votes; again acting the
demagogue. Why does he not
make the race on some live issue
and appeal to the sober Judgment
and reason of the people? Is it
because he has not the ability? 1t
certainly seems so. If you take
the "nigger" from Vardaman he
has nothing that he can discuss.
If he were called upon to deliver a
funeral Grafton, he would ring in
his little "nigger" in some way.
He is like the old preacher who
took new text every Sunday,
but always preached the same ser
mon. What reason is there for
calling him the White Chief
Would it not be more fitting to
call him the ''Black Chief" All
his reputation and notoriety came
from the advocacy of his absurd
propositions about the negro.

remember during the last cOun-

Noxubee that Capt. Henry Hunter
was chairman, and no better man
ever lived in NOxubee county and
the minority combined against my
good friend, Zack DOrrOh, and
beat him for the nomination for
sheriff, and no one questioned
their right to do this, but the peO-
pie felt like that their will had
not been carried out, and rose in
their might and elected Mr.. Dor
rob the sheriff, and history is go
ing to repeat itself; and while a
great many people believe as do
that Percy and the balance of the

they believe their will was defeat
ed, and they are going to right
this in August and nominate Jas.

FROM THE PEOPLE
Vardaman's Politics.
Editor gfthe Beacon:

Editor gfthe Beacon:
1t is not the purpose of this ar
ticle to attack the record of the
So called White Chief, though it
is we'll known to every non -parti-
san in the stats that it is most vul-
nerable. Never before in the his
tory of Mississippi has the specta-
Gle been presented of an officer
declining to discuss with his Op-
pOnents his record as an officer.
But Vardaman, instead of defend
ing his record, contents himself
with denunciatiOn and abuse of
those who bring serious charges
against him. While this may sat
isfy the man who is governed by
passion and prejudice, it will not
satisfy those who think for them
selves. By his studiOus avoidance
of meeting in public discussion the
men who bring these charges, the
unprejudiced mind, logically con-
cludes that he either knows the
charges are true, or else he feels
his inability to hold his own
against them in debate.
The main purpose of this article
is to suggest some reason why the
people should not vote for Varda-
man. In the first place, he proves
himself nothing but a demagogue
by his appeals to passion and race
prejudice, simply to further his
own political fortune. Eight years
ago when he made the race for
governor his promise was that if
he was elected, he wonld divide
the school fund between the whites
and blacks in proportion to the
taxes collected from each race. He
knew, and every man in Missis-
sippi who was not wOefully ignO-
rant, knew that this could not be
done without an amendment to
the state constitution, and further
that such an amendment would be
in violation of the constitution of
the United States, and therefore
ineffective.
Did he make any effort to have
such amendment passed! He may
have alluded to it in his first mes
sage to the legislature, but no man
will claim that he ever made any
honest, earnest effort to have such
legislation enacted. No, he had
accomplished his aim in riding
into office on this silly appeal to
the ignorant voters of Mississippi,
and he troubled himself no more
about it. Was not this the part
of the demagOgue?
Four years ago when he made
his canvas for the senate he again
appealed to race prejudice, and ad-
vOcated the repeal of the 10Th and
the modification of the 14th
amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. Nobody knows better than
he the absurdity of this PROPOSE
tion, but he thinks that by stir
ing up race prejudice and the pas
sions of the masses, he may secure
enough votes to put him into of
6ce, and this is all he cares for the

Winslow and Faffstaff played the second game of ball to be played on the Winslow diamond last Sunday. We were in hopes of being able to report winner for the home team from the in ferences made before the game, but alas, our hopes were shat tered. Shattered worse this time than the other. On account of some minor differences among the players, the staff of lite oi the Winslow team, Baca, who had been pitching, refused to en ter the game, and the result was there was no twirler to do the twisting job for Winslow, and Flagg put the everlasting crimp to every ball that came any where near the plate. Sad to relate, these things, but never theies we have nerve enough to to try it again.
 So Sunday, May 14th, we are going to Williams. and if we don't skin that team to finish for revenge there will be another

Don't open lingerie waist in front unless you wish to say adieu to all style.
 Don't use deep navy blue this win ter when bright shade and royal blue are the newer tones.
 Don't save on any Things or notions In dressmaking.
 Don't buy cheap black goods when a 1ecent quality repays you twofold.
 Don't try to use stitching as trim ming unless you know your machine and have a Straight eye'' Don't make walking skirt to "dip"
 the back; let it hang evenly all
 Jund. f.F Don't begin your home dressmaking with tailored suit, this requires ex- perienca.
 With paper patterns of exclusive make you will find the extra shoulder and underarm seam allowance suffi- cient for any ordinary alterations; if not you need larger pattern. Pin your pattern together and try 1t on if you do not cut one of cheap muslin and make it up, thus save slashing in to dress goods until you are sure that you are right.
 Shape the bottom edge of a skirt exactly with the pattern or it will nev- CT hang evenly. Use snap fastenings at the placket opening and anywhere else you can. Keep your clothes push ed down about the waistline, the short ening of which indicates the flight of youth.
