PERSONAL POLITICS

There appeared in several
newspapers of last week a SEN
sational article which, it is
charged, was inspired by the
personal and political enemies of
Governor Brewer for the pur-
pose of defaming that dis
tinguished gentleman's private
life.
Referring to the article in ques-
ton, the Commercial Appeal, in
a strong editorial entitled Dirt
deprecated the fact that Missis-
sippi politics has descended to
depths never before reached.
The reading of this article re-
calls the horrible tragedies which
occurred on the streets of the
capitol city about twenty-five
years ago as the direct result of
personal attacks of prominent
men in the newspapers of that
town. A distinguished citizen of
the state who had served his
country with dauntless courage
throughout the civil war, and a
brilliant young man of excellent
promise met in deadly combat on
one of the main streets of Jack
son, and each lay dead with
smoking revolvers in their hands
at the end of the encounter. Only
a short time thereafter two other
prominent and useful citizens of
the state, one who had borne
himself bravely as a Confederate
soldier, and the other a young
man of marvellous gifts as a news
paper writer, likewise met in
deadly encounter as the result of
sensational newspaper accusa-
tions. The young man lost his
life, while the other after being
dangerously wounded, was tried
for his life in the courts Of the
state. The people of the state
were shocked beyond measure as
a result of these tragedies and
even to this good day, evil
dences Of the factionalism of that
time may be found. All of this
was the result of personal poll
tics. What thoughtful citizen &C.
quainted with the conditions in
Mississippi at that time will now
say that those tragedies were es-
sential to the public welfare?
What patriotic Mississippian be-
lieves that it was necessary to
destroy any human life in order
that the state might be relieved
of hurtful influences?
The recent publications regard
ing the private life of Governor
Brewer not only remind us of
those deplorable sacrifices of
splendid citizens, but they also
warn us that there is an end to
human patience. Those who are
intimately associated with the
governor speak of his domestic
relations as ideal in character.
Surely, no governor of Missis-
sippi ever had a more interest
ing family. and there is every
reason to believe that his Excel
lency is proud of his family and
happy in his relations with them.
As far as the Journal can ascer.
tain. the people Of the state dis
credit these accusations against
the governor. The prominent
men who are charged with con-
spring to destroy Governor
Brewer are all emphatic in deny
ing their responsibility for the
rumor. Certainly, no man OF
character would adopt such des-
picabIe methods for the destruc-
ton of a personal or political foe
Such rumors could originate only
with the human scavenger. AS
the Commercial Appeal very
wisely said, there are many is

It was point ed out that the best dressed woman in the United States. eXpends annually something over $75,O00 on her clothes. She can afford this. Her rank in wealth, her influence and her social position in society make this possible. The amount ex- pended is commensurate with her ability to spend.

CONSTABLE SLAYS
 BAD MAN
Shoots Drunken Man During Hand to Hand Fight-Ofi-
 cer Exonerated.

Forrest City, Oct. 19.--Roy
 Burnett, aged 28, employed by
 the Forrest City Ice and Coal
 Company, was killed by Consta-
 ble Thomas Johnson early this
 morning after a desperate fight
 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Warshavsky, where the officer
 had been called to arrest Bur nett, who wa sintoxicated and creating a disturbance.
 Johnson says that when he arrived at the Warshavsky home about , o'clock this morn ing he found Burnett in the kitchen. He had walked through the house looking for Burnett and as he opened the door to the kitchen, he says Burnett showed a pistol against his breast and demanded that the officer drop his gun, which he carried in his right hand. The constable says he seized Burnett's pistol with his left hand and thrust it from him at the instant Burnett fired. The two men then clinched and at the same time Constable Johnson opened fire. He fired four shots three of which crashed into Burnett's body and the mans huge bulk toppled backward through the kitchen door and fell lifeless out into the portico.
 Examination showed that one bullet had passed through Bur nett's left forearm, another through hlS neck ana a tnlrd had penetrated his skull just above the left eye.
 At coroner's inquest Consta- ble Johnson exhibited his left hand, which was badly powder burned as a result of the dis charge of Burnett's gun while the officer was thrusting it from him. With this convincing proof of the truthfulness of the officers story before them, the jurors lost no time in eXonerat- l ing Constable Johnson.

Tansel raised the gun to shoot at bird, and the Johnson boy, who was sitting down, suddenly jumped up, just in time to receive the bullet in his abdomen. The ac- cident happened one mile west of the city at II o'clock this morning. Tonight the boy is not expected to live.

elements upon which her soul
 fed and became beautiful. To
 impart virtues to others is like giving,-it blesseth her that gives more than the object of sweet charity and builds a mon- ument Of reverence and love in any community, more beautiful than any flowers that will grace the bier, more lasting than mar ble shaft.
 And thus her very work build ed in her, character and aspira- tions for usefulness that cannot but be admired and virtues that are ever extolled. And in this we'll spent life that an all-wise but inscrutable Providence has terminated, we find a woman frail in bodily strength, forget full of her own i'll health, weak ness and suffering, directing on broad scale the humanitarian work of a score of charitable or ganizations. Such is the inspir- atiOn of a life of good deeds.
 In the home, an affectionate wife and tender devoted mother to children, whose training was entrusted to her, for she had been a real mother to them, we realize there comes a loss that makes their grief almost incon- solable, where the sympathy of friends does not suffice and yet in this dark hour, they have but to look back upon the usefulness, good deeds and Christian faith of the dear departed to know that she has gone to a rich re- ward and has but passed to a full realization and enjoyment of the life beyond the grave that knows no sickness and suffering, but is eternal in it's happiness.
