Hon. Adam Byrd is being pressed
to enter the contest for governor
aeinst Earle Brewer. 1t is averred
that he is importuned by Percy.
Alexander and Vardaman support
ers alike. This may look consist
ent 10 those who want TO see it that
way, but how any. who are familiar
with Mr.. Byrd's toleration of the
secret caucus. can believe that VAR
daman supporters would solicit him
for the governorship is enigmati-
cal, indeed.

The criticism of Will III. Ker-
nan, the peer of any poet Amer
lea has ever produced, which
appeared in a recent number of
the Vardaman Issue. is not all
together just to the peculiar
genius, and character of the
man. In his, days of early boy
nan intimately, and comprehend
ed his eccentric characteristics as
the world has never understood
them. To him, Mr.. Herman was
revealed as too honest to cover
up the shortcomings of humanity,
too unforgiving TO forgive the
few that had proven treacheous
to him, and too weak 10 deport

men ought to live before men.
But with it all, this poet man

that ever throbbed in unison
with the great heart OF mankind.
strove, though with cynocism and
in vituperation, to teach the les
sons of the ideal duty of man.
Mr.. Herman gave the writer
the initials incentives to strive
to mount to the excelleneies of
the higher life, and while his
heart was warm with cOmmiser-
alton. his mind was arrayed IN
uncompromising antagOnism for
what of its perfidy come TO hlm.
Wrong though we confess him to
have been. and not condoning his
breaches of morality temperance
and christian life, we cannothelp
from reverencing the genius OF
the man, and respecting those
inspired Impulses that drove him
to pour forth, inverse, the fires
of his genius for the well beng
of his fellow kind Let us draw
gently over the faults of Will
II. Herman the mantle of charity.
The lessons he taught IN poetry
and in prose, thousand times
wipe out the weaknesses of hls
character. He was too honest to
take the world as he found It,
and instead of coping with it as
the generality of men do, he
hated it, and devoted his genius.
and talents in trying to make 1t
better by disclosing its perfidy.
He cannot, therefore, live in the
memory of man as ordinary men
are remembered. He must live
only as his contributions to Int
erature reveal him. His weakness
es of character are not to be
counted to him as disgrace as
against the matchless gems OF
poetry and prose he has given to
the world. So draw the mantle |
and forget the weak
nesses of the dead poet. As edl-
tor of The Southern States, a
published at Okoloni
in the seventies, he first flashed |
into the hmelight among the
geniuses of Amreica. 1t was there
the writer knew him and compre-
hended him better than the world
him now, but not |
better than it Will when the
true genius of the man and his
motives impress themselves with
the passing of the ages. Forget
the faults of this man of sorrow
and disappointments; for the
purity of his vrese.
for the higher things
of life, in friendship, love an'
eclipse tn efaults IN
his charactre, and write his
name high among those who have
been benefactOrs In poetry and

Woman, Don't Let
 Husband Know All
By MADAME vERoN

(From Chicago Inter Ocean)
 Don't disillusion your husband alto gether. Don't let him know every se- cret of your toilette. Conceal from him the processes by which you retain your beauty. Nothing is so disenchanting to man as to see his wife's face nightly smeared with cold cream It is digust- ing-and unnecessary.
 Any woman ought to keep her hus- band guessing all the time. He ought to have to say to his friends, Well, my wife is the most amazing problem I know about. She always looks about 16, and she neither paints nor powders
 You can do this if you will dissolve a small original package of mayatone in a half-pint of witch hazel and mas sage the face, neck and arms with this solution three or four times a week. You will shortly find you have lovely, soft complexion. fair and dainty, with out spot or blemish--and then the best of 1t all Is that mayatone prevents the growth of hair and is absolutely harmless to the most delicate skin. Make the solution yourself.
 Be beautiful and don't let him know how you do It."
