His Business Principles.

About one o'clock Yesterday c'ti-
zen who was passing through the
Central market was halted by gone
tossed stranger who said:
"Sir, I want to raise money to es-
tablish large college in this city
fully equal to Harvard for Yale. Can
you invest ten cents3"
The citizen asked for further par
ticulars and finally handed out the
small sum. The stranger walked
directly to the saloon and bought a
humping big dring of whisky, and
was swallowing the last of it, when
the citizen jostled his elbow and
said:
"Arnentyou about two-thirds fraud
and the rest dead beat2"

spouse. ~ clam to he honest and
upright"
"How about that college. Didn't
I give you ten cents towards its es-
tablishment9"
"You did. SIR"
"And you have spent it for drinka"
~ have sir, but let me explain. My
business principles are as firmly fixed
as the laws of nature. Whenever I
set out to establish college always
drink ten cents worth or whisky to
nerve me up and encourage me. l

never departed from this rule in a

principles, and now I'll go out and
establish the college. Do you know

We were indeed glad to see the General,

privilege to FIRST form his acquaintance

are enabled to meet occasionally and bring
up the "reminiscences Of the past, AM con-
template the future. He is called the
"Noblest Roman Of them all" and is well
worthy of any trust or confidence that the
people Of Mississippi may see proper to
confde TO him. He will probably be be-
fore the State Convention for Gubernator'
1al honors, and the race will be between
him and Lowry.

The Executive Committee,

We suggest to the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of this county, OF which
DR.. II. P. Atkins is Chairman, a reorganl-
cation of the party, preparatory for Vlgor-
ous work in the approaching campaign.
1t is known that it requires some time TO
yet u ounty in good working order, and 1t
Is better to commence alittle too soon than
20 be too late. In this connection 1t Will
not be amiss to state that we will have to
hold 2 contention soon to select delegates
to the State Convention, which will meet
in Jackson to nominate candidates tor
State off ,es. Timely notice Will have to
he gwen to the different Supervisors
Bcats, in order to get the proper represent
alton in the County Convention, at which
time perhaps it would be well to nominate
candidates for the different county ofhces,
obv;ating thereby the necessity for a sec
ond convention. A good organization Is
the first step in the direction Of SUCCESS,
and as success is the wish of all Democrats,
we urge them TO respond promptly to the
call ofthe Executive Committee, whenever
that body may deem proper to make H.
We Inadvertently offered u suggestion to
the Central Cub not long ago to %inangur-
ate a movement to secure an organization
in the county; and after the motto. had been
published We saw or error. We do not
intend to cast any reflection en- our Club
by making this statement, hut the call on
that body looked a little like ignoring our
Executive Committee, a thing that we are
far from doing intentionally. We should
have offered the ~snggestion in the first
place to the Executive Committee, for that
body is the highest political power in the
co,,nty. IF we have offended any of the
committee by the apparent oversight re :
ferrea 10, we hope the statement on ouf
part that it was by no means intentional
will be amply sufficient to make ali neces-
sary amends. In conclusion, then we
suggest that the Democratic Executive
Committee of cur county i~naugurate q
movement for a speedy organization. All
the cid clubs ought to be reorganlzed ready
for active political service. One blast from
the Doctors buglc, and the signal will DC
o5eyed.

A CDlered Man Killed.

One day last week Ed. jackson and Al
fred Lenoir, two colored men, living on
Mr.. Ben. Martins plantation. in Copiah
county, near Martinsville, became involv'
ed in a difficulty about some old grudge
that had existed between them for some
time. 1t appears from our informant that
jackson approached Lenoir with a shot
gun. and asked him if he was ready to set
tie that matter between them, and Lemon
answered in the affirmative. Thereupon
Jackson shot Lenoir in the head, killing
him instantly. Jackson made his escape
and is still at large.

Pay q A. CoulSOD.

This divine delivered a lecture in the
Baptist Church last Thursday mghtson
the subject of the "Bible--lr lis Translation
and Revision" We listened attentiyely
to his discourse, and while it may be pos
sible, as he said, there are errors III the
Bible. we cannot consistently APPRECIATE
the necessity Of a translation aud revision
of that Sacred doctrine at this period oil
the worlds history. The same work which
is proposed TO be revised has doubtless
con.oled countless thousands with joyful
hopes of an eternal salvation, and with the
hope OF an immortal existence in that
abode prepared for those who love and
serve God. We are prone to believe that
a revision Of the Bible at this late period
would have a pernicious tendency to de-
stroy the implicit faith that is enjoyed by
"a great many deyout and soul-stirrlrg
Christians; and while, perhaps, it would
not entirely destroy the faith of some, 1t
would possibly prove the evil precursor OF
grave doubts thatewonld ultimately have a
deleterious effect upon the progress of the
Christina religion. It wonld b. like
Joge s,lightnings, the precursors . f.dread-
ful thunder-claps."
Children would grow mp, and, after hsv-
ing been appraised OF this new translation,
would be convinced that it did not impart
the same doctrine that inspired their good
fathers and mothers with precious hopes
of 1.-THE sweet bye-and-bye;' that it was
not tho same beacon light that directed
them to the "Lamb of God, that takeih
away the sins Of the world" and conse-
q%nently the faith of the rising generation
would be materially impaired. They
would naturally philosophize thus: If the
old version was not right, what evidence
have we that the new one is correct The
probable solution of the problem would be
about this: Either the old or new version
ia absolutely wrong, with chances perhaps
in favor of the old one, which, perhaps has
"landed many thousands, and can land as
many more
With all due Difference to Rev. Mr.,
Coulson, and without impdgning his sin
ceritv, or the sincerity of those learned and
eminent diyines to whom he referred, as
favoring a revision Of the work, we hope
his fairness and honesty of purpose will
allow him, and those who sgree with him,
to accord to others the right OF opinion
also. As a journalist, we assume the posi-
ton, then, that, if the Bible is wrong we
are not responsible for it. If it il wrong,
We have no authority to correct it. Weare
not permitted to add to, or take from; and
if we DO, We are subject to 4 severe penalty,
the character of which is familiar to all
Bible readers.
If the Bible is the rule Of faith for he
guidance of the Christian world, it should
be endorsed by al Christian denonha-
lions; but if each denomination is TO have
a Bible unto itself, then we have no more
to aav, except to choose the one we prefer.
We will take the old one, for We believe 1t
contains everything essential TO salvation.
