ANTI POOL HALL BILL
NOW UP TO GOVERNOR

Austin, Texas. Feb. 6.--Unless
Governor Hobby interferes, pool and
billiard halls operated for profit will
follow the saloons out Of Texas. The
bill abolishing pool halls has passed

In the House today the Senate bill
by Mr.. Floyd to prohibit pool halls
was finally passed by vote Of i04
to 16. II is expected hat the bill will
be enrolled tomorrow and delivered

Someone has said. what great

what grand thing is man. when he
uses IL bright; because after al u is

important thing. Character comes
out of thought. for las n man think

acters of thousands have been assasi-
mated By purveyors Of evil thought
which is murder worse than the kill
ing Of the body
Bearing on this important matter
is the following from an unknown
author, which should have the effect
of making us all think more than
twice before repeating anything that
is not good about another. Never
tell anything about anybody unless
YOU know positively il is true. Never
tell even then, unless absolutely nee
essary; and remember, God is listen
ing while you tell" A thought to he
remembered just here also is that
not only is God listening while you
tell, and that you are shining when
you tell it, but you are running that
possession of another that is dearer
than life-his or her character.
Character is a beautiful house. re-
curing years to build; and it is pos
sible to destroy il by causing TO blow
against it the breath of suspicion, re-
auiring in some cases only a moment.
The depth Of this sort Of wickedness
is beyond estimate, and the grief
and sorrow caused are more than
words can describe. So that we find
that the foulest murder that can be
committed is the murder Of ones
good name, Of his character and rep
utation. To use the gift, the power
of speech with which God has en-
dowed man only for such Infamous
purposes is TO commit a sin which Il
would seem would require all The
patience and mercy Of the Almighty
TO forgive.

TINE scOURcE OF

"He that will love life, and see

tim of leprosy in ancient days. His
uncleanness was physical. But there
is mental ieprosy carried about and
impaired to all with whom the bearer
comes into contact 1t is vastly more
destructive than is the physical lep-
rosy, for while the body of the leper
is destroyed, il is the mind which is
the object Of the moral prisoners de-
structiveness.
The warming, "Uncleanw is not
given by the moral leper. On the
other hand he draws rs near as pos
sible and pours his poison into the
ear of his victim. 1t consists of two
kinds-filthy conversation and adj
verse criticism of others. He Is in
effect mental and moral scourge,
from which it is almost impossible to
escape entirely, ones only recourse
being to representatives. which give inn
munization, and which make ineffec-
tive the attacks of the disease. These
preyentatipes consist of love for the

is little likelihood that one VINO can
with earnestness utter this prayer,
who can say with sincerity, LET the
words of my mouth and the medta-
tions Of my heart be acceptable in
Thy sight, o Lord, my strength and
my Redeemer" will be a victim of the
mental malady referred to. Some
one has said that a good heart, benev-
client feelings, and a balanced mind
lie at the foundations of character.
Other things may be deemed fortui-

He who makes an unjust criticism

that in nine cases out Of ten the crit

magnifying their victims faults and
minimizing his virtues II is this sort
of thing of which some poet wrote
very appropriately
And all who told It added something

And all who heard It made enlarge

Il is perfectly natural that gossip
should lie. and so it is perfectly nat
ural also that they begin with "
ing whisper Of suspicion and end
with what they state to be facts
Whose keepeth his mouth and has
tongue, keepeth his soul from trou-
bles," and in doing this he also keeps
the souls of others from unhappiness
The gossip and scandal-monger never
tell their stories in the presence of
their victims. Knowing their unjust
ness, they haven't the courage, for all
liars are towards These thoughts
give US impressive evidence of the
great aye, the inestimable. import

CROWD WITH RUSSELL.

The WoodviHe Republican which is supporting
Hon. Oscar Johnston for Governor does not hesitate
to tell truth about the joint debate at Goster last
week, between Lieutenant Governor Lee M Russell
and Hon. Oscar Johnston and the old Republican sets
good example in noting political matters that many
of the partisan in the State would do well to
follow so and prejudiced are many OF the pa
pers when it to giving out political news, that
they either lie deliberately, else warp the facts to
make them appear contrary to the truth and the fol-
lowing summary by the Republican after briefly re-
viewing the addresses of both gentlemen which 1T
pronounced to have been high toned, digned and en-
tirely free from mud-slinging, says:
"Owing to the fact that the entire audience was
forced to stand during the course OF the addresses
and on account of the confusion, 1T was practically
impossible to give full outline Of all that was said
To summarize however, we will say that the JOINT
debate between these two gentlemen was carried on
without any exhibition of anmosity or ilifeeng, and
in fact there was evidence of mudslinging. Each
candidate presented his claims to the office in clean
and convincing way each taking issue with the other
as the condition justified. While this paper is sup
porting Mr. Johnston it is only fair to Mr. Russell to
saw that all fair-minded will admit that in the
audience which heard the two men the number of
supporters of the Lieutenant Governor were greater
than those favorable to Johnston If we are to judge
by the applause which greeted the respective candl-
dates. BY this do not mean to convey the idea
that it was entirely Russell gathering, as this was
not the truth for Mr. Johnston had many supporters
among the number who applauded him frequently, be-
sides the followers of Longino and Collins, who re-
mained silent.-The Coast Beacon.

FROM RUSSELL HEADQUARTERS.

Capt A. B. Sehauber Campaign Manager for Lee
M. RUSSELL leading candidate for Governor issues the
following statement
Lee M. Russell, leading candidate for Governor of
Mississippi spoke last week. in Harrison Jones' New
ton and Franklin counties. He spoke to large and
enthusiastic audiences at each place where he spoke
He spoke on the Fourth of July at Vance Mineral
Springs to an audience of four nve thousand peo-
pie and was given fine hearing He also spoke to
an audience three four thousand people at Lu-
cien in Franklin county, and was given hne hear
ing there His friends very much pleased with the
wonderful hearing that he received at both Of these
large gatherings as there wonderful outpourng
of the spirit.
He was also represented by speakers at large pic
mic at Lena in Leake county, at large picnic near
CentervilIe in Wilkinson county, on the Fourth OF
July and also at picnic at Carson on the NTH OF
July His friends are feeling very confident now of
his election and many Of them state that he will be
elected in the first primary.
The record of the men running against him is such
that the people will not elect them as their records
bad in many respects while the record OF Lee M
Russell is open to attack His record is Clean His
private and public life is clean. He has always stood
for those measures that for the best interests of
the people of Mississippi and the people know that
he Is their true and tried friend.
Russell is open and above board. He is telling the
people very frankly each day just where he stands on
every proposition and he has nothing to cover up.
He is not afraid to his record at any time
place. and he invites the very closest inspection Of
his record and Of his entire life both in private and
his public life.
He is the only friend that the great Of the peo
pie have in this race He has always stood for the
right and it is very important that the people have

in their minds as to the negro's
guilt because the old lady upon
whom the rape was committed could
not see well and was not at all posi-
tive as to the identity of the negro?
That there were doubts about it was
borne out by the further fact that
the negro was ever allowed to go to
the penitentiary or even to be tried.
Does any reasonable minded, sensi-
BILE man believe for one moment that
a negro would ever be sent to the
penitentiary from Yazoo county "a
county where they kill negroes on
the slightest provocation) for COM
mitting a rape upon an aged white
woman # the people there had really
thought him guilty? In fact, the
Yazoo City Herald, newspaper
published by our good friend, John
Mcclure, at the time the pardon was
granted and who was familiar with
the facts and the sentiment of the
people admitted that the negro
should be pardoned.
Lie No. 3 is to the effect that Gov,
Longino appointed a negro election
commissioner in wilkinson county.
The facts are that the State Board
of Election Commissioners is COM
posed of the governor, the secretary
of state and the attorney general,
who together appoint the election
commissioners from the various
counties upon recommendation only.
The state Board does not know the
applicants at all and if negro
should happen to be appointed it is
because he is recommended by white
people of that particular county and
the governor has no more to do with
it than the other two members of the
provides that the election commits
sioners shall not all be members of
the same political party, and that at
that time negroes still represented
the Republican party in good many
instances. The editor of this paper
at one time served on the board of
election commissioners of this coun-
ty with a negro-Reaben Fields
who was appointed as Republican
during the democratic administration
of honest John M. Stone upon the
of white democrats
in this county, and yet nobody would
think of blaming John M. Stone with
appointing a negro election commits
sioner in Lawrence county when in
fact it was done in nearly every
county in the tsate at that time.
People forget about these things or
else they don't want to remember
them.
All we ask is for Gov. Longino and
his cause to have a fair and reas-
enable hearing. If he has this we
are not afraid of the result. He has
been maligned,. misrepresented, lied |
on and lied about more than any
man who has ever been before the
people of Mississippi and it is because
he is not owned and controlled by
the politicians who have had things
their own sweet way so long in this
state that they are moving heaven
and earth to beat him. They see in
him their finish and they are dying
hard, for every indication points to
the fact that he will certainly be
on the first primary. Let
Lawrence county do her part and
give him tremendous majority
