JACKSON, MISS, FEBRUARY Is, 1915.
Ny views on the liquor bill: lst. This
is free country and all men have a right
to spend their money as they choose. End !
do not think women have any right to help
make la Us for the land. When the laws
were first handed down, they were handed
| down TO men. 3rd. have 10 or 80 years
of experience which teaches me that know
/ better how to serve my people Than man
| who has been here not more than or .
| years. 4th. If these men lately come anon g
| Us would wait until they became the choice
| of the people. they would know better how to
| represent them while they think they know
| it all we will assure them that 1t they would
let Us alone, the Southern people would all
| come together so strong that the world
could not divide u. Respectfully.

he settlement should have been made, WIZ.
he 10th of January, 1879 had passed, and
hat he had failed to make the settlement,
lot remembering the day as it had entirely
dipped his memory. and as soon as he dis
covered his mistake, he went into the Audi

by the Deputy Auditor that the
ime for making the settlement had passed
md he could not allow him any commits

ions. Col. Tate also states that he is walt
ng for the senate to act upon certain bill ;
or the relief of J. j. Evans.
