claim to being more than human it Is
unnecessary for me now to say what
my intentions and purpose lii reference
to Bilbo were at that time. Shortly
afterward, however, upon consulting
with personal friends at Starkville, upon
their insistence, [ agreed with them to
lake no action in the matter until they
could have Mr.. Bilbo interviewed by d
mutual friend in an effort toward an
amicable adjustment. A friend of mine,
who was a friend and former college
mate of Bilbo, was sent to him by my
friends after several days search this
mutual friend succeeded in finding Bilbo
and having an interview with 6im.
This friend asked Bilbo if he would re
tract the language used about my family.
This he refused to do. At a somewhat
later date, through reliable gentlemen az
New Albany, | was informed that BilbO
admitted having used the language re-
ferred to about me and for the edifica-
ton of his admirers he repeated that
language on the streets of New Albany.
In the meantime | was informed through

him that Bilbo stated on various occa-

J. J. HENRY.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-28
What Bilbo Said.
STATEMENT Or HON. J. J. HENRY.
A Plain Recital of Facts in the Henry
Bilgo Difficulty.

S~tarkville, Miss, July S.-Hon. J. J.
Henry, on being requested for a state
ment relative to his encounter with
Bilbo and the cause that led up to it,
said, 1T was purely a personal affair,
and has been regrettable to me since it's
incipiency in Bilbo's insulting language
relative to me and my family in the
spr;s g, which language no se~lf-respecting
ma>r could fail to resent. AS far as |
ktow, the matter is terminated, it has
no political bearing and do not care to
discuss it. When asked if there had been
any personal difficulty between him and
Bilbo prior to the Blue Mountain speech,
Mr.. Henry said none that he knew of.
"Probably l had seen him in Jackson, but
was not personally acquainted with him,
and except from subsequent description
of him hardly knew him OF sight. Upon
being informed of the language used
about me at Blue Mountain I at once
te%lephoned Mr.. T. c. Lowrey, secretary
of Blue Mountain College, and presi-
dent of the Bank of Blue Mountain, re-
questing the facts and he replied by let
ter as follows:
blue Mountain, Miss, April 10, 1911.
MIR. j. J. Henry, New Albany, Miss.
Dear Sir-I have your request by
phone. While [ did not enjoy the abuse
of you, l know you only Slightly, and
my voice was raised much more in de
Tense of decency inc the women of my
Eown than in your defense. Bilbo gave
20 one credit for the language he used,
sut a Mr.. Collins, a candidate for attor-
aey general, who was with him, told
ne that he had given the language to
AIR. Bilbo that morning, and expressed
surprise at Bilbo's using it in his speech.
He said that it was a quotation from
Mr.. Brann, of Iconoclast fame. He said
you were a cross between a hyena and,
l think, a mongrel, begotten in a niger
graveyard, sucked by a sow and edu-
Gated by a fool. l am sorry that l cam
not give you language definitely, but the
above is as much as I would like to say
In trying to quote it to you.
"Yours very truly,
(Signed.) ct. C. L0WREY."
This statement as to BiIbo's language
used about me was also confirmed by
other reliable sources. As I lay no

guilty of it deserves the condemnation
OF the voters of this state, and Senator
Percy should be driven in shame from
public life. Senator Percy has challenged
Ex-Governor Vardaman to meet him face
to face and substantiate his charges be-
fore the people of this state, but to this
good hour Ex-Governor Vardaman has
not lone so. Viewed from Senator
Percy's headquarters, therefore, the para
mount issue of this election is the charge
that his election is tainted with fraud
and corruption. By such a charge not
only the honor and integrity of the in
dividual members of the legislature and
of Senator Percy are at stake, but the
good name of the state itself is on trial.
The defeat of Senator Percy by either
of his opponents could be construed as
an endorsement of these charges by the
voters OF the state. Knowing thaf these
charges are false, and that they were
made for political gain, the friends OF
Senator Percy feel that he is entitled
to have the voters of this state place
the seal of their condemnation Oh them.
Nothing except the reelection of SEN
ator Percy will have the effect of plac-
ing the stamp of condemnation on he
false charges that have been made re-
flecting on his honor and integrity, on
the honor and integrity of the members
of the legislature, and on the good name
of the state of Mississippi. For these
reasons it is submitted that this is the
paramount issue of this campaign, ami
that those who believe that Senator
Percy was honestly elected, and has hon
orably discharged the duties of senator,
should give him their support.
"The people of Mississippi believe in
justice and right, and have never yet
failed to do the manly thing. 1t is
good, sound Democratic doctrine to ac-
cord the endorsement of a second term
to the man who serves with credit to
himself and to his office, and even Sen
ator Percy's political enemies cannot dis
pute our claim that he has more than
made good.
"Reassuring reports reach our head
quarters from every county in the state,
and the nomination of Senator Percy
may be forecasted with confidence"

A PERSONAL MATTER.
Language That Caused Henry to Attack
Bilbo.

Language mat caused denIy 70 AIIdCh
Bilbo.
On April 5, 1911, I. c. Lowrey, OF
Blue Mountain College, gave out a sworn
statement as to the offensive language
used by Bilbo in his speech at Blue
Mountain in reference to j. Henry.
Mr.. Lowrey says: ''There were about
a dozen ladies present and occupying
front seats upon that occasion, their
presence was recognized by Bilbo and
every one of them left the hall just after
the language used by Bilbo about Mr..
Henry. The language was SO unclean
as to Justify any lady in being insulted
at it's use in her presence and, L think,
it would have been hard to get a jury
that would not have cleared the father,
brother or husband of any lady present
if he had shot tile speaker down on the
spot"
What Bilbo Said.
%. J. Henry is a cross between a
hyena and a mongrel; he was begotten
in a niger graveyard at midnight,
sucked by a SOW and educated by a
Observation-Disclosures.
Take it home to yourself.

language been applied to your dead

There are some things that even
the most absent-minded Of us can't
forget.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-28

The fact is, Bilbo's story slandering
the legislature, the governor, Senator
Percy, the courts end others, has never
been c~orroborated by a single living be-
ing or a single circumstance.
And thus it will be seen that Senator
Percy has been declared fairly elected
by the Vardaman as well as the anti
Vardaman members of the legislature,
while Bilbo has been declared unworthy
of belief by the members of the legis-
lature and by the jury hearing his UNI
reasonable story.
And having been fairly elected and
having made a brilliant record for &C
tual achievement in the senate, Senator
Percy certainly deserves an endorsement
at the hands of the Democrats of Mis-
sissippi.

Realizing that it is impossible TO
keep alive a wholesale establishment
or manufacturing plant of any de-
scription in the interior in competi-

seaport city, | share the feelings of
the creator of Frankenstein.
Just before his death the poet, Shell
ly, Mrs. Shelly and Lord Byron were
passing a few pleasant months on the
classic shores of Lake Geneva in
beautiful Switzerland. Meeting at the
home of Lord Byron one dark and
tempestuous night, German ghost sto-
ries became the subject of discussion.
They each entered into a compact TO
write a ghost-story, which should be
read the next time they met on a tenn
peStuous night The occasion soon
presented itself. and with a modesty
that is the charm of womanhood, Mrs.
Shelly insisted that Lord Byron's and
Shelly's should be first read. but
when hers was read the others were
torn into fragments, her story being
so much the superior. Lord Byron
and Shelly paid Mrs. Shelly the defer
ence and honor that is said to have
been shown TO Mr.. jefferson by his
| associates when the text of his de
claration of independence" was read.
Mrs. Shelly's story was based on

| tic mould fashioned in the image of
man which was finally infused with
the elixir of life and the mischievous
monster became a threatening men
ace to its creator.
