Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
loss to our Southland Of this great and
honored commander, who was promi-
nent in the organization Of United Con-
federate Veterans. As editor of the
Confederate Military History his work
has been great. This work is of untold
value to the minds of fair Southland in
furnishing true and reliable history OF

South.
Resolved, That we honor his MEM
DRY by our love and work for the few
remaining veterans. We are daily told
by the press how they are fast falling
out OF ranks. We can see the bent
forms and slow steps of some in our
home county who can not be with us

young husbands, fathers aud brothers

Predatory Wealth.

Jackson, Miss, August @-Former
Gov. James K yardaman. Democratic
nominee as United States Senator from
Mississippi, last night promised that
when he goes to Washington he will
strike against predatory wealth, know
ing that / will be assailed, and that in
stead Of being stung by the little gadflies,
/ will be attacked by the vultures.
The occasion was a reception and cell
ebration in honor Of Mr.. Vardaman
and candidates for State offices noni-
mated in last Tuesdays Democratic pri-
mary election. Delegations came from
every section Of the State to take part
in the demonstration, which was held
in front Of the State capitol. A torch
light procession preceded the speech
making.
Mr. Vardaman asserted that were he
to ALLOW predatory wealth and corpo-
rate power to stalk rampant" he would
be heralded hero by the metropolitan
press. Instead, he said, he would fol-
low the opposite course. He reiterated
his views as to white supremacy, and
urged that the issues Of the campaign,
one of the most bitter in the history Of
politics, be closed Incl

Washington, Aug S.-The death o
Senator Frye of Maine, after thirty years
in the Senate and eleven in the House
all years of service, marks another nota
BILE step in the change of the politica
complexion Of the Senate. With the
vacancy filled by the Democratic legis
lature, of Colorado and the election o.
the successor to Mr.. Frye by the Dem
ocratic legislature of Maine, the Demo
Gratis would have forty-three members
of the Senate-more than they have
had since the close of the Fifty-third
Congress, sixteen years ago. The Sen
ate would stand: Republicans 40, Dem
ocrats 43. A change OF four votes
from the Republican side to the Demo
cratic would be sufficient TO carry any
issue on which the Democrats were
united with the aid of that number OF
Senators classed as Republicans. An
other striking feature OF this change is
in that it will be the first time in the
history OF the State that Maine was
represented at one time by two Dem
ocratic Senators and also the first time
in thirty-two years any New England
State was represented by two Democrats
Connecticut having been represented
in the forty-fifth Congress. 1S77-79, by
William II. Barnum and William w.
Elton. 1t is remarked also as another
measure of less of the power Of New
England in the United States Senate,
which has been enjoyed by that group
Of States for more than half century.
Senator Frye was one Of the last two
of that remarkable coterie of Maine
statesmen which began with Hannibal
Hamlin, ended with himself and Sena-
ator Hale, who retired at the close Of
the last session of Congress, and included
James G. Blaine, William Pitt Fessden,
Thomas B. Reed and Nelson Dingley.
Both he and Hale began service in the
Senate in 1881 and served side by side
for thirty years. much longer time
than any other two men ever sat togeth-
err in the Senate, whether from the
same State or not.
