MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
Vardaman’s Majority Over Six Thousand.
HIS FRIENDS GO TO GREENWOOD TO
CELEBRATE.
Leflore Candidate Issues Card of Thanks
to White Democrats.
Greenwood, Miss., Aug. 29.—
Greenwood is celebrating the
nomination of J. K. Vardaman for
Governor. The celebration began
3’estreday, and tonight it is being
continued in great shape. The
whole State is joining in the jubi
lee. Every train which has ar
rived to day has brought in prom
inent men from all parts of the
; State, who were anxious to per
■ sonall\7 extend their congratula
tions tp the man from LeFlore,
and tonight a special train reached
the city from Jackson, bringing
between 600 and 700 enthusiasts
who have gathered to pay their
respects to the nominee. They
came with a brass band and fire
works, and tore the town wide
open on their arrival.
There has been a continuous
meeting in progress at the Green
wood Opera House all day, speak
ers of note addressing the Var
daman celebration. Senator
Money, who spent the day here,
was one of the speakers this after
noon.
The meeting tonight, which was
held upon the arrival of the special
train from Jackson, was called to
order by Hon. Chalmers H. Will
iamson, of Hinds county, who
congratulated the people of Mis
sissippi upon their choice. Other
speakers were ex-Attorne}7 Gem
eral Monroe McClurg, Attorney
General William Williams, who
has been nominated to succeed
himself; Joe George and Mayor
Hemmingwaj7, of Jackson. Major
Vardaman was forced to make a
short address. He spoke of the
obstacles which had confronted
him in his race, and said that his
highest ambition was to be worthy
of the confidence which the people
of the State had reposed in him.
He said that he would take the
gubernatorial chair unhampered
by promises. He had not a friend
to reward or an enemy to punish
at the expense of the State.
Major Vardaman today received
congratulatory messages from
every State in the Union upon
his nomination. He must have
been the recipient during the day
of at least 500 telegrams. To
night he issued the following
signed statement for publication:
■JLo the White Democrats of
Mississippi: While the result of
the primaiy of the 27th inst. has
not been announced, it is apparent
from the returns that I have been
nominated by a majority of not
less than 7,000 votes. I take this
method of expressing my grati
tude to the friends who, like the
Old Guard, have stood so loyally
by me in the very vortex of
calumny, vituperation and mis
representation which has charac
terized the campaign just closed.
It has been a hard fought battle;
every inch of ground has been
stuobornlv contested, but my
friends have won a great victory.
To them all the credit is due. If
I shall be able to prove myself
worthy of their esteem and confi
dence I shall be satisfied. God
bless them.
JAMES K. VARDAMAN.”

A Chan ge of Mississippi Bureau Managers
The New Orleans Picayune of
last Sunday contained the follow
ing announcement:
Owing to the pressure of other
engagements, Mr. Edgar S. Wil
son has resigned the position of
Manager of the Picayune’s Mis
sissippi Bureau, at Jackson, which
he has filled with distinguished
ability and success for the past
twelve years. Mr. F. L. Bellen
ger, who is well known in the
newspaper business has been ap
pointed to succeed Mr. Wilson.
THE PICAYUNE.
New Orleans, Aug. 29, 1903.
Mr. Wilson, the retiring mana
ger, several years ago inaugur
ated, through the Mississippi de
partment of the Picayune, the in
dustrial campaign which has re
sulted in such unprecedented
material development of the State
along all industrial lines and ad
ded so Vastly to her wealth and
advancement. Every progressive
movemehfc, looking to the indus
trial, educational and moral pro
gress of the State has found in
him at all times an able and zeal
ous champion; while at the same
time, the Mississippi Department
of the Pic. has been a faithful
and impartial chronicler of cur
rent happenings of the State and
the best thought of the State,
political and otherwise.
Mr. Bellenger, the new mana
ger, is the editor of the Jackson
Evening News, a f ”1 news
paper man, and doubt
keep the department up to
its past high standard. Both old
and new managers, who are among
the State’s very ablest journal
ists, have lie Leaders best
wishes.

SOLATION PRIZE.
More Bouquets for Senator Noel.
Written for The Loader ]
Defeated! What balm is there
in Gilead for the unsuccessful can
d i d a t e? The campaign—nine
months of hard work, of strenuous
days and wakeful nights, of travel
and speechmaking and handshak
ing, of being talked about and
written about, of being lauded as
a god and abused as a devil—-had
ended for the State Senator in de
feat. And he had been so sure!
not only that he would be elected
to the office of Governor, but that
his political progress would not
end this side of the United States
Senate. Not until the final mo
ment when the returns were all in
and the result demonstrated be
yond the possibility of a doubt, or
rather of a hope(for what candidate
ever doubts?) could he realize
that his splendid record in the
various public offices he had fill
ed, his acknowledged ability, his
unquestioned patriotism and his
high moral standing, were so little
appreciated by the people whom
he had faithfully served; that in
stead of endorsing him, and
through him all that made for
good government with a hand
some plurality, they had rudely
thrust him aside and now given
his most radical opponent a major
ity vote.
The day was a gloomy one. A
slow, persistent rain was falling.
There alone in the dieary law of
fice the Senator heroically tried
to accept defeat; but the
natural buoyancy of a sanguine
temperament deserted him. Sto
icism failed to come to his
relief and Philosophy fled far.
Convinced of his superiority over
the successful aspirant, bitterly
he resented his treatment by the
masses—caught by tinsel and glit
ter-swayed by the “catchy” ora
tory of a man most dangerously
gifted—“born to dazzle, not illu
minate, mankind”—erratic as he
was brilliant—perverted in man}'
ways— a paradoxical being— im
passioned but calculating—pro
fessing to honor and preserve the
traditions of the South, yet posing
as an iconoclast, religious, irre
ligious, and sacreligious by turns.
Defeated by such a man! The
proud Saxon face of the incor
ruptible Senator—statesman by
the right of a clear, vigorous,
welltrained intellect, and thorough
study of the science of govern
ment, by virtue of his true pa
triotism and by the grace of the
God whom he served—was pale
and worn, the lines pencilled by
awe sharply defined, the lustei of
the blue eyes dimmed. His faith
in the right judgment of the peo
ple was lost; his faith in himself
began to falter. The “self ap
proving hour, worth whole years
of loud huzzas” tarried on the
way. A wave of self-condemna
tion and self-pity swept over him.
Armed alone with nis common
sense anu simple nonor, ne naa
been a fool to enter the lists with
that dashing knight, whose rhe
torical feat and sentimental atti
tudinizing were calculated from
the first to win the popular ap
plause. He felt old and tired and
insignificant. Wearily he turned
to the law business in hand—a
case that demanded his immediate
attention and necessitated the
answering of several letters. Some
unopened mail, over looked dur
ing the anxiety of the morning,
caught his ejre. A square, white
envelope, addressed in a cultivated
feminine hand was among the
others. He opened it wonderingly
and caught his breath at the sig
nature. Mildred Evans! Anoth
er flower of hope blighted by the
frost that had fallen upon his po
litical aspirations! Through all
the heat and worry of the long
contest he had remembered the
grave sweet attenion of a pair of
grey eyes, as solid practical truths
fell from his lips during a cam
paign speech, the winsome smile,
the cordial grasp of a firm white
hand when the speech was ended,
and the added attractions of a
slender, graceful form and amidst
of golden hair—a memory to stay
by a man and stir the depths of
his batchelor heart! He had re
solved, in the event of his election
to propose, with all proper meek
ness, to this queenly woman that
she shaie the honors of his office
and the joys and sorrows of his
life. Ah, well! But what could
she have to sa3r? Likely a few
kindly, consoling words, well
meant, but blundering—cruelly
blundering.
My Friend: — Congratulations
on what the majority call defeat,
but what I and others are glad
to deem a great victory. If,
in your progress through this
campaign, you had once ever sol
slightly swerved from the course
of nonor and integrity you cour
ageously marked out for yourself
at the beginning, then indeed you
would have been defeated; but
you stand triumphant at the goal,
uncrowned, it is true, by the rab
ble, yet hailed as a victor by the
thoughtful and righteous people
of the State.
With best wishes, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
MILDRED EVANS.
The Senator stood erect. Ilis
blue eves lighted. A proud smile
cuived his lips. Blushing, he
lifted the letter and kissed it.
After all, the campaign had been
worth while and brought a great
reward. * # *

RURAL FREE DELIVERY?
Is the Greatest Blessing Ever Devised for
Country Population.
COVERS THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
MILES.
Costs $2,000,000 Per Year, But the Price
Is Not Considered Too High.
Not since the construction of the
first railroad, says the Atlanta
Journal, have the’coqnty districts
of our nation been blessed with a
greater improvement than the es
tablishment of the rural free de
livery system. The government
has not undertaken a service at
any time which seems to have
been more satisfactory or produc
tive of greater good to so large a
number of people.
It has long been urged as an
objection to country life that dis
tance from postoffice facilities fre
quently renders the farmer isolat
ed from the rest of the world. In
cases where the postoffice is 15 or
25 miles from the farm, a whole
day must be devoted to a trip for
the purpose of getting the mails.
The result has been that farmers
have found it impossible to keep
up with the tiend of the times or
to indulge in any considerable
correspondence. The daily news
papers have been to them out of
the question. Even the weekly
Eeriodical and the magazine were
edged about with difficulty. As
a consequence, it is admitted that
farmers have been, as a rule, less
in touch with national affairs, less
informed on scientific and general
topics than dwellers in cities of
lower social grade and of inferior
natural ability. The rural free
delivery system puts the farmer
on an equal footing, for all prac
tical purposes with the resident of
the towns and cities. It seems to
us the greatest educational instru
ment that has been devised for
theenlightmentof the people dur
ing many a decade. The trans
continental roads opened up wild
wildernesses. So the rural free
delivery routes, like numberless
arteries, afford access to remote
and barren districts which may
thus be nourished from the throb
bing centers * of the world’s
achievement.
Another most important effect
of the rural free deliver}7 system
is the idea which it gives to those
affected by it of the beneficence
of our government. In this con
nection, the Southern Farm mag
azine, we think, says truly:
“It is always an uplifting thing
for the government to come in
close touch with the people. Too
often the citizens look upon the
national government as something
afar oft with which he has no im
mediate concern. He rarely
comes in contact with its officials.
He pays direct taxes to his state;
his public duties are mainly due
to tne state; the public school to
which his children go are sustain
ed by the state; the public roads
are worked by his county or by
the state; the administration of
justice is usually performed by
state officers, and so he comes to
think that the general govern
ment is of -but little interest or
value to him.
“The rural free delivery system
brings more forcibly to his mind
than any other civil service the
beneficence of the general govern
ment. Every day the carrier who
represents the postal service
comes to deliver his mail. Kain
or shine, hot or cold, bad roads or
good roads, the carrier comes with
the regularity of the sun to illum
inate the household with the fresh
beams of knowledge and intelli
gence from the world at large.
Whoever suggested the rural free
delivery system builded better
than be knew. At first it was ex
perimental, and but few routes
were established, and these in
Maryland, where the population
in the country is dense and the
distance from the postoffice de
partment is short, so that the ex
periment could be watched by
higher officials. This was in 1896.
Very much to the surprise of
many, it was found that the quan
tity of mail matter on such routes
increased very rapidly. Every
year since the system has been ex
tended, until now7 the farmers
covering an area of 300,000 square
miles are served once a day with
mails, requiring the passing over
of 300,000 miles of road by the
carriers.”
The moral effect of this system
cannot be disregarded. The coun
try store, with its congregated
loafers, its rum and water, its
cracker boxes and barrel heads, is
a breeding place of idle gossip, of
profanity and vulgar anecdotes.
The postoffice in connection with
this store is the excuse for such a
gathering. The establishment of
the free rural delivery system goes
far towards abolishing these uni
versities of idleness; and must
necessarily result in widespiead
uplifting of our rural population,
making them more sober, more
thrifty and industrious, as well
as more intelligent.
It is estimated that twenty-four
million dollars will be needed for
the purpose of extending this sys
tem over all parts of the country.
We do not see how such an. amount
could be expended in a manner
which would do so much good in
so many different ways. It be
gins to seem that the golden age
of rural life were beginning.
With the introduction of long dis
tance trolleys, with the telephone,
and with tne free delivery, the
dweller in the country is leaching
a point wheie he has practically
all the advantages, without the
discomforts, of city life. It may
be that the solution of the city
problem, with its vast overgrown
Young Plants
Eveiy farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that’s the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Scott’s Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

delivery system cannot fail to pro
mote the welfare and happiness of
that class of people upon whom
our government must depend for
its most conservative judgments
and its sturdiest support.

A Picayune special says there
are all sorts of rumors about the
resignation of this judge and that,
or this chancellor and that. Judge
Neville has resigned, and, it is
stated, but with what authority
is not known, that Judge Lowrey
expects to resign. This report
has been in circulation from time
to time for a year or so. There is
also a robust rumor that other
judges will retire to resume
practice. As before stated in the
Picayune, the salary of a circuit
judge or chancellor is only $2,750
a year, and out of this must be
paid hotel bills and traveling ex
peses. Aside from the honor,
therefore, there is not much in v
circuit judgeship or chancellor
ship.
