Echoes From the Election.
unjust taxation.

1t is amusing read the exchanges of this week tell
ing the of the late election Very few of the papers
on the winning side have tried to rub n while most of
the papers the defeated side passed it off with Jokes
and good natured funnyisms
Some cried Shame shame while others cried Thank
God few out with the hint of I'VE told you so"
and others sang the song of great trip up salt
River the big ship Defeat" One paper printed a
picture big ship ready to take the losers candidates
and voters all up the imaginary Salt River where peace
and condolences reign supreme
Some "swingers were elected and many were not
Line ups failed to work in many places while at others it
went like steam roller
few men and some writer's in the papers moanfully
declared that Mississippi had gone to hell and the people
should another state Other men and papers bv
the dozens declared the greatest victory for the people
pulled off in the south Some declared that it meant
peace and prosperity for the next eight or twelve years
while others declared only the forerunner of strife and
backward legislation Some declared that laws will be
steamed Olered bankrupt the state while others de-
caTed that laws will be passed to bring Mississippi out of
financial oblivion To it was triumph of good gov-
ernmen and to others trump of graft and crookedness
Some say the state has the ceanest set of officers
elected while others say they are the worst and
disgrace to our country
Whatever the other papers say The Hummer will re-
main neutral We will boost Mississippi as of former is
of this paper will always strive to help make the ad
minstratOn of the Democratic nominees success from
first to last
Thru it all we are satisfied with what the majority
said and will not knock any man who holds office in good
old Mississippi
We also hope that the committee will find true
count of the ballots

NOTICE. q =,

1t has been street gossip in
Americus for the past eight or
ten months that Mr.. j. E. Mathis
has an interest in HightOwer's
Book Store. | have corrected
this to few o: my friends and
thought it would pass over with
out further comment, as / did
not wish to make a public denial
of this gossip on account of the
nOtOriety it would cause.
However, it has gained such
headway of late that feel it an
injustice to Mr.. Mathis, as well
as myself, and think it should
be stopped, hence the following
for public information.
To my friends who have heard
this, and really did not know
whether it were true OF untrue.
| wish to state that Mr.. Mathis
has not now nor ever has had,
one dollars interest, directly or
indirectly, in this business. This
should set at rest the gossip re-
ferred to. No one owns a penny
in the HightOwer's Book Store,
except myself.
viii say that if | did have any
business connection with Mr..
Mathis, l would be only too glad
to admit it,. | wish to state in
advance Tint the next time yOg
hear this report the busybOdy in

misinfOrmed by one that has.

erous waters connecting the Black Sea
with the Golden Horn, lie between the
Ottoman capital and the Russian fleet,
but heavy shells are being thrown in
to the Turkish defenses hourly, and
the damage wrought is described as
substantial" The attacking Russian
fleet, however, is considerably inferior
in strength and armament to the great
squadron of warships assembled at
the western entrance to the rardan-
elles, and little hope is entertained
that the eastern defenses to Co1san-

permit the passage of the Russian
