Mississippi RIVER Railroad.

To the Publici
Having read carefully an article in the
Upton Record of date 10th instant, pre-
tending to give an account Of the pro
ceedihgs Of the Mississippi River rail
road and accusing its President, A. S.
Mitchell Esq, of Incorporating the
funds Of the company, we feel it ineum-
bent on us TO state over our own sigma
lures that the article of the Record is
filed with misstatements, and is utterly
unworthy Of the attention or respect OF
the public.
With regard to Mr.. Mitchell's connee-
ton with this road, il is probably well
for his reputation that this article of the
Record gives us the opportunity Of
stating the facts Of the case, which are
as follows:
Mr.. Mitchell was one of the first citi-
zens, after the war, to revivethe railroad
hopes Of Memphis He reorganized this
company and obtained all the aeedful
legislation therefor; he secured a grant
Of State aid, which hes never been used,
of $500, 600. He oanFassed oil the
counties on the line Of the road and OBJ
tanned county subscriptions TO the
amount of $3.50 900; he secured private
subscriptions to the amount of nearly
So 900, The total amount Of subscrip-
tons obtained by him was over $1,000,
000-and no citizen Of Memphis was
called on by him for Gus dollar Of aid
while doing this work He caused sur
veys TO be made for eighty miles Of the
rO.s at his own expense, and the road
vas ready 10 put under contract TO Cow
ington before these was a dollar in the
treasury Of The eompans. In fact, a
recent settlement Of his accounts 9Th
the company. from the beginning Of his
connection With i 20 the first day Of this
month, made by Is a. members Of the
Executive Committee. revealed The fact
that Mr.. Mitchell spent, Of bis oTR
money and money raised on his private
credit, over $4,000 in support Of the
road and in paying for its surveys, be-
fore the company ever had control Of a
dollar Of its own. Or examination Of
Mr.. Miichelfs accounts established the
further fact that, except where he al
vanced il from his own pocket, OF OBJ
tanned il on his own credit, he has never
had the handling Of any money Of the
company, and eoal4 aa=sT have missp-
propriated any Of It's funds
With regard TO the Eve hundred thou
sand dollars Of bonds issued to the com
pany BY Shelby aud Upton counties. We
further assert that Mr.. Mitchell has
never had custody or control Of seid
bonds. and consequently could make no
disposition Of them whatever Not ex-
ceediug hity thousand dollars altogether
q said bonds have been redeemed by

NO REGISTRATION OR TAX RECEIPT
REQUIRED.


The law that formerly existed in thii
State requiring voters to register, wal
abolished by Article ~, Section |, o.
the new Constitution. The only qualif
cation now attached to the right of suf
frage is the payment of poll-tax by
each voter in the State, which ,poll-tax
must be first fixed by law. There being,
ms yet, no law on the subject, this, then,
will not be asked of those who shall offer
10 vote on next Thursday. Every male
person of the age Of twenty-one years,
being a citizen of the United
States and resident of the
State twelve months, and of the county
wherein he may offer his vote for six
months next preceding the day of cleo
ton, shall be entitled to vote. With
these specifications is one other, which
requires a man 10 vote in his own civil
district in the county. 1t would be well
if the negroes would bear this in mind,
who have heretofore so little regarded the
laws restraining voters. The penalty
attached to the violation Of this law is
fine and imprisonment. which has Of
late been totally disregaFded. The
mere fact of a mans offering TO vote
outside Of his district will subject him to
the operations of the law and the judges
who shall preside at our next election
should see TO the arrest of every indl-
vidual who attempts, knowingly or other
wise, TO vote contrary to the letter Of the
law. Negroes have been known to vote
a half dozen times at one single election,
by going from poll to poll where they
were not recognized. II they should be
unsuccessful in voting contrary to the
law at any one voting place, they at
once post off to another, and, by false
swearing and statements, are enabled to
get their ballots in the box. This thing
should be closely watched by our friends
ON next Thursday, and when one Of the
black or white miscreants are caught in
the above act, let him be taken by a
policeman to the stationhouse, that he
NAV at the proper time give satisfaction
TO the law. We have never believed
otherwise than that large majority OF
the votes of the city were Democratic;
and how it was carried by Curry and his
friends in the last election, was by the
most stupendOus frauds ever committed
in daylight. They imported negroes
from Arkansas and outside the county,
and did probably vote them more than
once on the day of election. Il was b.
this means. with the control Of the bal
lot-box after the election closed, that
they were enabled to foot up very small
majority in favor of tgo Of their candi-
dates. We have been taught lesson by
these miserable swindlers, and II il is not
well observed on the coming election day,
then we are not deserving of sympathy
and should be defeated. We should not
forget the oft-repested maxim, that
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib.
ertv."

ROW IN TIE RADICAL CAMP.

The signs are not propitiOus for the
election of the Radical ticket in this

already the mutterings Of discomfort as

who boasts Of belonging to no party, has
been thrown aside by his qEoadam
friends and kicked into the corner as
one would an old pair Of boots. He is

three times that amount has been done
on the road within the two counties. Of
the rest of the bonds, every one is IN safe
keeping by order Of the board, and will
be applied in the construction OF the road
they we're appropriated tc.
II is hot true that Mr. Mitchell has re-
ceiyed 1926, 900 in salary 1t is not
true that the Board or Executive Com
mitteehaye ever voted him $25, 00O
or any other sum for extra services. y
II is not true that he ever received q
check for $4,000 or SIS, 900, or that
he ever received a check for any sum,
except in repayment Of money he had
advanced to the company or in payment
of salary, which salary is as low as that
of any railroad President we know who
is in active service, building railroad
and much lower than most of them en-
ioy. To sum up the whole matter, we
assert that no citizen of Memphis, in
proportion TO his means, has ever used
his private resources more literally than
Mr. Mitchell has to make this road a
success and that his whole conduct as
President of the Mississippi River Rail
road Company has been laborious, eff
fective, publ;c-spirited and honorable.
He possesses the full confidence and
support of every member of the Board
of Directors, and deserves the confidence
of all interested in the general welfare
and prosperity of the country;
The statement of the Record in regard
to the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Company is equally untrue. Neither of
these officers had ever received dollar
of pay until they entered on the active
duties of their respective offices, the Sec
rotary on the LIST and the Treasurer on
the goth day of July last.
The statement of the Record in re-
gard to the progress of our work, the
number of hands employed and our re-
lations with Colonel McComb are as
untrue as everything else we have here
contradicted.
That the public may understand the
motive that prompted the editor Of the
Record TO make his attack on the Missis-
sippi River railroad, we will state that
we have indubitable evidence that he of
fered to sell his services and that of his
paper to the company as an advocate of
county subscriptions, but the directors
of the company deeming it proper that
all money raised from the people should
90 into the work of building the road,
declined to use it in paying the editor of
the Upton County Record for services
not needed. Hence his malice.

ONE of the neutrality advocates in the
Avalanche was such clamorer for the
Democratic party success, that during
the great canvass in which Albert Pike
was President Of the organization, 1t
was conceded he had rival in import
ance and oracular advice, as the head OF
a ward club, until the general impression
prevailed that the rival had got rid OF all
the Radicalsm his early and long con-
nection with the Bulletin had engen-
dered. To use homely comparison,
though scriptural, as the dog will return
to his vomit and the sow to its wallow,
he is getting back with all his might to

THE Picnic given to the pupils of
the Methodist Sunday-school, of this
city, at Dunbar's Cave, on the 2lst
inst, was largely attended by one of
the happiest concourse of children, of
all ages, that have been thrown to-
gether upon any similar occasion.
Refreshments, play and pleasure were
enjoyed almost to safety. Explor-
ing the beauties of our grand old cave
added much to interest and amuse
the children, which pastime was en-
joyed and engaged in by both old and
young. Let pic-nics and any other
enjoyment, as day of recreation, he
annually set apart for the little folks,
for in ripper years they will revert
back in memory to these associations,
which have a tendency now to instill
a moral and refining sentiment and
feeling which makes its possessor
happy.
