RECIPROCITY ExEMPLIFIED.-The
Richmond Wing says: During the last ses-
sion Of Congress, the Secretary ofthe Treas
ury caused to be compiled. under resolu-
ton Ofon Of the Houses, a view OF the COM
paralive Tariffs of all countries. The work
was skilfully and laboriously done from
materials by no means easy to collect chiefly
BY that worthy and diligent person. Johna-
than Elliot, the author of the diplomatic
Code" and the collector of Debates on the
adoption of the Federal Constitution" The
following paragraph cut from distant pa
per. may be said to express the results OF
his comparison of duties:
"In ls4i. the whole imported into the
United States was 1927. .945, ,OOU.--lne

GERS can exercise no influence upon national

TIES OF TlPPAH, PONTOTOC,
MARSHALL. LAFAYETTE. PA
| NOLA, DESOrO. TUNICA AND
| COAHOaIA
FELLOW CITIZENS:
BY law passed at the recent called
session of the Legislature. j: is provided that
you shall elect The Clerk of the District
7 Chancery Court at Holly Springs. BY the
solicitation of numerous friends, have been
induced to become a candidate for that office
and of course, l she'll feel gratifed and hon.
ored for the suffrages of sufficient number
to secure my election.
The shortness of the period intervening
before the election, viii render it impractical
bic for me TO call upon each voter. and com
pels me to address you in this, the only way
in my power.
The proper performance OF the duties of
the office | ask is highly important to the
people ofahe District. BY reason Of the inn
portant character of the litigation carried on
in the Chancery Court, involving, as it does,
ritles'to lands. and personal property, to an
extent probably equalling that of all the suits
prosecuted in the Circuit Courts of the DIS
rict. OF my ability to discharge those du-
ties. it becomes not me to speak. have re-
sided in the county of Marshall since the year
1885, and for the last three years have been
engaged in the office of the Clerk fthe Cir
cult Court of that County; and have thus
had an opportunity of acquiring knowl-
edge of the duties of Clerk, which ought
10 enable me to disc charge, in satisfactory
manner, the duties of the Clerk of the Dis
trict Chancery Court My acquaintance in
the District is unfortunately rather limited
and must refer those of you whom | have
not the pleasure of knowing personally, to
the citizens of my County generally, and to
those more particularly who have had busi
ness to transact in the Clerks office of the
Circuit Court of Marshall County, for infor-
nation in regard TO my character. and quail
fcations for the office | am seeking at your
hands THOMAS LOMAX.
