There seems to be more ac- tive newsraper sentiment at this time in beualf of Mr. Mayes than 'any other candidate and if that gen- r and general personal fitness that will make him hard to beat if | he seeks the nomination with his characteristic vigor. sr. Mayes has been getting much praise from.the State press as a prospective candi- date for governor and none of it has been “laid on too thick.” ¢ —0 “CHARACTER IS EVERYTHING ” Under the above caption a valued exchange in another State (thel Mich., Patriot) preaches the best short sermon on a vital question we have ever read. It in- timately concerns every man and woman in the world and especially the young, whose characters are still in the formative stage and not yet hardened for right or wrong.” From the article referred to we take the following: “Without integrity, force of will, strength of purpose and clearness of vision, which are character, brain is . useless. Integrity alone does not it, for the accomplishment of desir- | The Times has drawn a strong | indictment, but, following the hc-- rign example ot‘ our grac'ous laws, | we Lave never yet convicted any defene on the mere allegations' in an indictment and never will.

And this brings us gist of the matter. that the (ditor of the Times thinks that he has read Mr. Paze's book, “The Southerner,” and found there- in the libels on the South which condary right to the We feel sure Justify his attack on that gentle- | man. Seriously, we doubt it. your horses. We suspect it to be a case of mistaken identity anrd our reasons for thinking so are these: As' we understand it, Mr. Page's book is a recent publication, issued | within the past year or two, where- | as the editor of the Times scys he | read it several years ago. Now many years ago another Southern author, George W. Cable, of New Orlcans, transplanted himself to New England tecause he was per- eona non grata to the South and thero he ‘wrcte “John March, Southerner” (observe the similar. ity in the titles), and in that book, if our recollection scrves, there is the episode of the marriage of the white man to the mulatto to which the' Times refers as a part of its in. dictment against Mr. Page. Cable did indeed de-southernize himself, and held views on the negro ques- tion in accord with those of the ‘New England cult on that subject and quite impossible to the repre- sentative Southerner. His “John March, Southerner” didn't suit the people of this section at all, and because we had cast him out, in a sens2, his pictures of Southern peo- ple and customs were probably col- ored by some 'resentment, although he was a peculiarly gentle, sweet- natured and deeply sinccre man. Now let the editor of the Times refresh his recollection and see if he hasn’t mistaken Cable’s “Southern. er” for Page’s. We think he has, but whether he has or not, we shall not permit the conviction of our man on the unsupported allegations of the indictment by the Times. We must have the proof as per Greenleaf et al. and when that is. sue comes on for trial we will have plenty to say. D — L — Any one cf these names that have been mentioned recently would make a governor of whom the peo- ple could be proud: Frank Mayes, Judze Hocker, Judge Perkins, Brax- ton B. Beacham. But the Times ro mains steadfastly in favor of the | that is best. But has he in fact done so? | Now, hold : able ends, must be ability. “The drifting derelicts on life's high seas are not drifting because they are brainless, but because they are characterless. They lack the istrn‘n;;th to stop when they should . ! pause in a wrong course, the energy to begin or to continue in the wny‘ Character is sclf—built; and self-maintained. Tendencies for | or against it may be inherited. There may be a wrong inclination on the day of birth, Down the long ancestral channel sweeps a streum! that may be disposed to carry one in 1 the wrone tion. This is hered- ity. Dut it is each person’s duty to pull up stream instead of 1t.-overcoming in all Girc drifiin with the curre things. Character is a structure | cach must build. | “To begin with, the materials with which we build are our own thoughts. tight thinking is the| basis of all true education. *Cease to do evil, learn to do well.” Ha- bitual thoughts create an atmos- . phere in which we thrive or lan- guish. We may not speak our thoughts, but we cannot conceal them. They reveal themselves in | every act of life, in the lines and | expressions of our faces, in the eyes, [in the smile or gloom we carry in | work or play, really our conduct re- veals the secret of our innermost and habitual thoughts. Speech may | hide them; actions do not. “According to our thoughts, flow- | ing into acts, we succeed or we fail. Thoughts make character, and char- acter is what we are. Finally when | the end comes, as it surely comes to all, character is all that we take out of this life into the life beyond. Morgan was right. ‘“Character is everything.” ion——— Five candidates for United States marshalships are here now, camping on the trail of Attorney General Mc- Reynolds. They are J. C.
