SURPRISING THE RADICAL PAPERS.
Columbus (Miss.) Index, Sept. 90, 1876.
We are glad to announce that one of our
bookstores has stopped order to the Harpers
for their Illustrated Weekly. This is a step
in the right direction. This sheet would fail
to be pecuniary success were it not for the
support given it by the people of the South.
DEMOCRACY Or DEATH.
Aberdeen (NIiss) Examiner, Oct. 2, 1861
He who dallies with Radcalism in. this
State stands torch in hand beside powder
magazine, and puts at hazard the safety, hon
or, and lives of those that should be the pride
of manhood to battle for, and, if needs be,
die for.
DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Aberdeen Miss Examiner, Oct 2, 1876.
The greatest excitement and enthusiasm
pervades the ranks of the whites, and they
are determined to redeem the State from her
ignoble thrall at any cost and at any sacrifice.
Troops have no terrors for them they want
all the troops that can be sent to the State,
for the true soldier deeply sympathzes with
the cause of the oppressed white man every
where, and they are determined to haue either
achite mans government or military rule

KISS THE ROD NO MoRE-RADIoALIsM SHALL
CEASE.
Extracts from the Aberdeen (Mississippi)
Examiner, Sept 2S, 1876.
To lose the election in Mississippi this fall,
would entail upon us such canvass and such
scenes in the fall of 1877 as no well l-wisher of
the State would like to see
Mississippi was torn from the clutch of the
tyrant, and there are tens of thousands of her
sons who are ready to dare the uorst ere yield
ing again to the degrading slavery of the past.
To be sure there are some few whose lamps
burned ont in one brief canvass, but the peo-
pie by an overwhelming majority have re-
| solved to maintain the status quo of brave old
Mississippi.
Mississippi has kissed the rod as often as she
proposes to, and has many thousands of sons
who would rather see her not only 6lotted
from the sisterhoOd Of States, but from the list
of habitable lands, than surrender her control
J again to the villainous horde that we so lately
forced to bite the dust.
We care not for the first intentions of these
conspirators and their abettors; the letter from
South Carolina that we publish, and the result
of every mans observation in our State, ex-
hibits the possible and probable outcome, and
there is but one sentiment pervading the South
to-day, and that is the firm and positive deter
mination that this thing of appealing to the
negroes baser passions, and exciting his ami.
mostly to the white man, must and shall
cease
