Carroll county has produced some men
OF which we are proud, and among them is
the present Governor Earl Brewer, and what
ever may be said of him, his name will 90
down in history as having stood for honest
government and that he scourged the graft
ers as far as within his power from high
places in Mississippi.
Doctor Thomas H. Somerville is a pro-
duct of this county, of which the people are
proud, and he has lived for a long time in the
State with a spotless, Christian life.
We heard a man stand on the platform
in Carrollton, Lee Russell, a candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and villify, SANDER
and abuse both these men; he went so far
as to say that Thomas Somerville was a cut
throat and a character assassin. Mr.. Rus
sell has got a big job when he undertakes to
make the people of Mississippi believe that
these distinguished men are such black char
acters as he painted them, but such in Bill
boism in politics.
Beware of a mar who comes into Car
roll county and his only appeal to the people
to vote for him is abusive SANDER hurled at
the characters of such men as Tom Somer-
vile and Earl Brewer.
Carroll county and its people pre-,
fer to uphold the hands and good name of
such men rather than teach their children to
follow such men as Russell and Bilbo-Car.

Mr.. QUIN rs

Hon. Hillrie M. Quin, one of the leading candi-
dates for Governor, was in Grenada for a short
while Sunday afternoon between trains. Mr.. Ouin
was en- route to Benton county and other points in
North Mississippi where he was billed for a number
of speeches this week.
Mr.. Quin expressed himself as most highly
pleased with the progress of his campaign and as
serted very positively that he would be in the run
off in the second primary. He stated that he was
appealing to the better judgment and good common
sense of the voters of the State and that he be-
|lieved that tine issues he was discussing were strik-
ing a responsive chord in the hearts aud the minds
OF the people. He said that there were a number
OF fads being urged on the voters but that he was
brushing these things all aside and talking to the
people about matters that nobody could fool them
about and in which all were interested. He stated
that his record as a legislator gave the voters a
splendid insight into the character of Governor he
would make.
Mr.. Quin said that wherever he went repeated
and persistent inquiries were being made about leg
~islative employees, and that he found that the entire
State endorsed the course pursued by him as
Speaker Of the lower house when he appointed
poor white boys as pages and to other places, and
that his action in this regard was in marked con.
trast to another candidate for Governor that pre-.
sided over the Senate and who appointed negroes
to places paying them $4,000 per month and mileage
besides. This, he said was regarded by thousands
as a pretty fair test of the sympathies and Interest
of the two men in the struggling white people Of
the State.
