cult Clerk.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Harris-Mat Harris
as he is known to his numerous
friends in the county authorizes the
Weekly to say to the people that he
is candidate for Circuit Clerk.
Mr.. Harris was born and reared
in the first district where he is now

race for chancery clerk in the cam
paign of 1907 and received a very
complimentary vote for that office.
He will make an active canvass
and talk this matter over with each
of the voters before the election.
In the meantime he wants the voters
to know that he would appreciate
their support in this election and to
ask them to consider his candidacy,
and if they find his claims worthy
and him a fit man for the place that
he would appreciate their votes. and
make them the best officer that lay
in his power

People Calling Longino Back as
They Did Stone.
Report comes from all parts o.
Mississippi that the people arc
going to put LonginO back into
the million dollar capitol, bulls
under his administration without
issuing of a bond and without
graft or scandal. The taxpayers
remember with appreciation the
wonderfully successful admins
tration Longino gave them. No
bonds were issued for any pur-
pose, but nearly a half million
dollars of outstanding bonds were
called in five years before due,
saving 100000 in interest. He
successfully pointed the way to
the establishment of the COnfed-
crate Soldiers Home; increased
pension appropriations and the
common school fund; purchased
and organized the State convict
farm, of $4,000 acres; twice rec
commended and approved the
compulsory primary election law;
advocated good roads, and many
other commendable things. In
doing all this under the I.ongino
administration the State tax levy
was reduced, and nearly a mil
lion dollars in cash was left in
the State treasury.
The people are all powerful,
and when they assert themselves
nothing can withstand their
wishes, as was shown when they
called back John NJ. Stone for
Governor. Garth agen i a n,

We are gratified to hear rumors
that the road leading north from
Matubba bridge towards Cotton Gin
has prospects of being surfaced at
some day not far distant. This
road. while it has been graded and
drained. is of such character of soil
as to render it almost impossible
during great part of the winter.
1t is one of the important roads that
lead into Aberdeen and its condi-
ton at various seasons of the year
has turned trade that otherwise
would come here to other points.
Our road authorities are to be COM
mended for contemplating seriously

The men who are crying out
against the factions are talking the
veriest twaddle. Furthermore. III
doing so they are inspired either by
fear, or a desire to create a certain
political effect. And the funny part
of it is that. if given a chance, they
would quickly jump into power as
factional leaders and rule with a
strong hand until displaced from
power.
As for US, we intend to stay put.

Political EaCtionaiiSnl.

The following from an edito-
rial which appeared in a recent
number of the Jackson Daily
News is a candid acknowledge
ment that factionalism has place
in Mississippi politics.
Coming from a journal which
vaunts that it is hiiched TO the
Williams Harrison faction and
that whenever any fighting is IN
progress it will be found some
where in the sCrimmage" il will
be construed by the Jeffersonian
democrats of the state as the
challenge for a further tryout be
fore the people, or else for them
to jump into the river while the
water is up" and commit vOlun-
tary suicide.
When we speak of JeffersO-
MAN democrats, we comprehend
all who yoled for Vardaman in
1918 and many who did not vote
at all.
These democrats were denom-
mated "Vardaman pups" by the
opposition newspapers In the
mad ecstasy of temporary vic
tory. Would you think that
those American freemen will
Jump into the river while the
water is up" and drown them
selves in the election of 1919?
Hardly. Self respecting Missis-
sippians are not built that way.
If there ever was occasion for
factionaliSm in Mississippi poll
tics there seems TO be a place for
it this year.
we are hearing \ lot of idle talk
nowadays about the evils of faction
al politics, and urging that this ele-
ment be abolished in Mississippi.
A few days since a parsonage no
less :han Associate Justice Geo II
Ethridge wrote lengthy communi-
cation to the New Orleans and Mem
phis papers declaring that there
should be an, elimination of faction
alism in Mississippi.
Even the several candidates for
Governor declare that they will
wage non-factional campaigns, and
that they are not seeking votes along
factional lines.
These gentlemen are no doubt
sincere and we'll meaning, but they
don't know what they are talking
about.
fractional politics cannot be
abolished in Mississippi.
Furthermore. factional politics
should not be abolished.
So long as political contests are
waged there will be political fac
tons, and the man who asks that
they be abolished might as we'll cry
for the moon.
Particularly is this true in a
state like Mississippi. where there is
only one political party.
The division of that party into
factions is as inevitable as the law
of gravitation.
When one set of men contend
for set of principles and another
set of men contend for opposing
principles, the natural and logical
result is political faction.
When a part of our people are
and another element is
radical there is bound to be clash.
and factionalism becomes apparent
If majority of our voters want
a certain man for Governor. and
is supporting another as
pirant. majority and minority fac
tions spring up just as surely as
grass in springtime.
Furthermore. when you hear
man shouting against factionalisn,
he has either been squelched by the
dominant faction, or fears that the |
faction in power is sharpening a |
large ak to be used in cutting down
his political aspirations.
There is no danger whatever in
factions. They are merely the fot-
sam and jetsam on the surface of

WILLIAM LAWS
NEARLY KILLED
BY CURT CORDY
Attacked On Road And Head Is
Crushed BY Piece OF Pipe
In Hands of GOrdy

William Laws. a young man twenty
years old. living in Wicomico County,
near Wilton, is in the Salisbury Hos
pital in a precarious condition, rs the
result of injuries he received by being
assaulted by Curtis Gordy, also of
Wicomico County.
Laws was driving four mule team
to wagon loaded with corn to be
delivered in Salisbury. When passing
the house where Gordy lives. the lat
ter is said to have come out in the

from the wagon TO head them Off, the
alleged assault occurred. ii being

accompanied Laws. and who was an
eyewitness to the affair, the assault
was unprovoked and most brutal.

grudge against Laws. and took the
first opportunity to "get even" The
road along which Laws was driving is
said to have been used as a public
highway for rs years.
Laws is the youngest son of Mr..
William Laws. and a brother of Mr..

SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED IN
RACE RIOTS IN WASHINGTON
Young White Women Attacked And Negroes Boosted OF It, For
Some Time The Police Seemed Unable To Quel The Reign
Of Depredatons. Situation Now Under Control

Washington. July 23.-Fivc cases
Of criminal assault by negroes upon
young white women of the capital
within less than 30 days is at the
bottom of the murderous rioting
which has been going on in Wash
ington for the last four days and
which even the presence of strong
force of United States troops has not
been able to curb wholly.
These assaults were committed in
the suburban sections of the District
and all Of them under peculiarly
brutal circumstances. Moreover. the
District police have been totally un-
able to deal with the situation. Not
one of the assailants has been captur-
cd and convicted. One was taken.
identified and then. by strange cir
cumstance, was released on bail, ac-
cording to local press reports. This
release was looked upon by the peo-
pie of Washington as about as
criminal as the deed with which the
man was charged.
For time the people of the Dis
trict remained patient as the police
prosecuted their pursuit of the Grim
inals. but when the third successive
assault was committed, just over the
District line in Montgomery county.
