WE ARE SATISFIED WITH OUR RECORD

Editor Lawrence, of the Grenada Sentinel, gets off the fol.
lowing in the last issue OF his paper: Did you ever figure on what
it costs you to maintain a few grudges? If you have not, get out
your pencil. Besides the business loss it would be impossible 10
ascertain what the pcrpetuaton of a grudge has cost YOU in charc.
ter deterioration and loss Of selfrespect' As Brother Lawrence
has been editing a political rpsaw for the past few years, it would
appear that his conscience was getting in its deadly work"
The above from the Gulfport Advocate is a sort of back action
compliment. For the information of the Advocate we will say that
our politics is not persona. it is a matter of principle, ani our CON-
duct is controlled by what we think is best for the future. We bayc
six children whom we are cndeavorng to bring up in the nurture
and the admonition of the Lord and we appreciate fully that what
we do to-day will either teuer or unfetter them tomorrow We have
no malice in our heart nor do we carry grudges and we would NOT
do those who most bitterly oppose us a personal injury: but we would
have the Advocate bear in mind that we have never repented of orr
stand in Mississippi politics. We believed we we're right when we
acted. and we feel that we KNOW now that we were RIGHT Wba,
we have said and what we have written is our record and bless vour

HEBRON LOST IN THE SHUTTLE,

The line up in the race of those who will try to take John Sharp
Williams out Of the United States Senate next year is exciting more
curisoity than interest among the people. A news item sent out
from Jackson a few days ago stated that Hon. 7. U. Sisson Of Winona
would be one of the candidates. 1t is stated that this announcement
of Mr.. Sissons candidacy VA given out from the headquarters OF
the Lieutenant Governor, who is himself candidate for Governor
and while, too. Mr.. Sisson's brother. inlaw. who is to make the race
to succeed him in the lower house of congress, was present; if these
things be true, it looks like poor John Hebron is to be lost in the shut
file. 1t seems to be understood that Congressman Witherspoon of
Meridian will be a candidate and that he will have the endorsement
out.

Kershaw Special to The State, Nav
S.-One of the most destructive wind
storms that has ever visited this
section passed through here yester-
day afternoon about o'clock. It's
course was almost due west to due

yards wide it literally destroyed
everything in it's pathway Trees
were twisted from their roots and
the tops carried in some cases SO or

houses unroofed, stock killed, food
stuff and provender scattered. The
popularity of the cyclone was the
manner in which at almost regular
distances it would dip down like a
huge scoop and pick up and destroy
everything in it's path. The largest
sufferer from the storm was John r.
Baker, one of the most progressive
and prosperous farmers in this sec
ton, who lost practically every
building on his plantation with the
exception of three or four rooms
left of his residence. This building
