HOW ABOUT EX-GOVERNOR BREWER?
Fortunately there are some Democrats in Mississippi who
are not dependent on politics and elections to earn a livelihood
forge of the Bible doctrine to be faithful over a few things.
fortunately there are th9asands in Mississippi who toll in one

When this challenge rang out over the Judean hills in the
centuries ago and fell upon pom the ears of David, who had been
Goiah, and the world knows the result. OF course it is under

Mississippi will be the jury to say who shall triumph. Our con-
fdence in our WOmanhOOd and our manhood and the fidelity
that has marked them in every crucial hour of the past, makes
us feel that we know that a David will be brought forth to at
tend to this bombastic political Phiistine. t
Quite a number of gentlemen have been mentioned for the
honor, but it seems to us that Ex-Governor Brewer is peculiarly
fitted for the patriotic task and we feel that there is no one in
Mississippi who would take greater delight in leading the un-
terrified hosts of Democrats in the contest than he. We feel
that we know that there is not another man, outside of Pat Har-.
risOn, who can make the appeal that Brewer can to the people.
He is conceded even by his political enemies to be one of the best
canpalgnerS the state ever had. He fights straight out from
n David act his SING is ready n the OpDDIpS have ppO Sc
lected.
We have heard several names besides that of former Gov. p
Brewer mentioned in connection with the race, among whom are {
Hubert Stephens, Marion W. Riley. and Judge Anse McI-aurin. G
are sure that any one of these will meet the demands of the p
hour. We know Marion Reilly better than the other two, and st
we know that he measures up to the highest standards of true t
AmericaniSm and that he has few, if any, superiOrs in the state q
in getting a message to the people. w. H. Smith, the former =
president of the a. & NJ. College, We learn, has a listening ear \
to the ground and is watching the shaping up of the race.
Many are chuCkilng over the rupture between EX-GOV. BllbO +
and the standing candidate who announced himself when he
to enthuse over him at this time, but there ae thousands who
would take him in preference to the former Senator. j
The very cultured and accomplished Miss Belle kearney Is
campaigning but somehow nobody seems to take her candidacy !!
Fortunately there Is more than one who can carry
the banner Of the unterriied in Mississippi.
The "FavOTte" ma de its appearance in Grenada last week
as q candidate for Journalistic favor. The proprietor, MI. A.
?. Mitchell, is Grenada product. He is a man of integrity and
enjoys the confidence of the community. He has never had any
in the mercantile business. Rev. Mr.. TAFT Ring, the editor. Is
a minister of the Christian church and came to Grenada from
Memphis, but has been in and out of Grenada for perhaps a
or more. He is not without experience in the printing bust
which he is capable. The first issue was a very neat and
crednable one.
