/ entirely concur in the view taken by
Mr. Wilkinson, in the preceding letter in
respect to the propriety Of admitting Messrs.
Mcneil and Buf'kin, representatives from
this county. We need the force of such &C.
ton as is suggested by Mr.. Wilkinson, be-
cause if the Democratic members admit TO
their confidence the enemies of the party,
we cannot reasonably expect to muster our
forces in future conflicts The example of
Messrs Mcneil and Bufkin must be dis
countenanced in every form and onlalI occa-
sions. Else the morale of the party here
must be lost L. B. HARRIS,
Chairman Executive Committee.

IT is estimated in New Orleans that
the cotton crop will run up to 5,4OO, 00C
bales. There is a slight deficiency in
Texas and n considerable deficiency in
the South Atlantic States, bnt the terri

branches will bring in between 400, 00C
and 500, 900 bales more than last year
The estimate is too high.

LETTER FROM W. C. WILKINSON, CHAIR
MAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATING
CONVENTION.
CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Dec. 80, 1889.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Dec. 80, 1885,
DIR. A. HUNTER-DEAR SIR, The facts
in relation to the desertion of the party by
Mcneil and Buf'kin are such as in my
judgement warrant their exclusion from a
seat at the council board with those who
value the interests of party organization.
Our County Convention assembled in
Hazlehurst on the day appointed by the
Executive Commission. Every precinct in
the county was represented, there being no
less than POI delegates present. In point
of numbers as well as intelligence, it was
the best Convention ever held in Copiah.
Organization was effected promptly. The
writer was elected chairman, and the bust
ness of the meeting proceeded with good
feeling and harmony. All the candidates
for nomination were required by a resolu-
ton adopted, to pledge themselves to abide
by the action of the Convention. An,ono
those tUhO came .t0rlCdrd to give the required
pledge, tcas Mr.. j. W Mcneil, Whose plsdqe
tCdS given Nth much edrRtstness and in posi-
the terms. The candidates for the Legisa-
ture who had received the highest number
of votes at the meeting for the election of
posed there could be any reason for dissat-
isfaction at the result, as the nomination
made simply gave effect to the popular voice
as expressed in the primary meetings, where
Mcneil was also voted for,
A few days after the Convention adjourn
ed, a conspiracy was entered into between
J. p. Matthews, leading Radical of the
county, J. w. Mcneil, and one or two others
of the defeated candidates, whereby in re-
turn for the election of Matthews as Sheriff,
he (Matthews) was also to furnish Radical
votes enough to defeat the Democratic
ticket and to elect Mcneil. The plan
was partly successful, resulting in the defeat
of the regular nominees for the Legislature
and County Treasurer. Mcneil and his
friends were not, however, able to deliver
Matthews enough Democratic votes to elect
him. During the canvass the old Radical
stories of bulldozing, broken promises and
special legislation against the blacks were
revamped and made to do duty once more
as consequence, the disorganisers received
the solid Radical vote $500 or I6OO) aud
about three hundred white votes out of over
2500 whites registered The candidates,
Mcneil and Bufkin, not only broke faith
themselves, but they constantly urged that
it was right and proper to do so and that
Democratic organization was useless and not
needed.
To admit these men into a caucus of the
party will have the worst effect in this
county and utterly prevent any organiza-
ton next year, as Democrats will not act in
harmony with those who 50 violated their
pledges and did so much to divide and
break down the party They sought the
Radical vote, not to convert it to the DEM
ocratic side, but simply as opposed to De-
and gloried in their triumph over
the party. Can these men, fresh from the
meetings of white and negro Radicals-who

The National Debt.

In 1881, nearly $500, 000,0 900 of Uni
ted States bonds will fall due. Some o.
them draw interest at the rate of 6 PEI
cent. per annum, and the rest ut 5 pen
cent. Mr.. Fernando Wood has intro
duced bill in the House providing that
the new bonds to he sold for the purpose
of refunding those about to fall due shall
draw interest Mt the rate of 81 per cent.
per annum. Secretary Sherman recon-.
mcnds their rcfunding in 4 per cent.
The true policy will be to pay off the
public indebtedness as speedily as posi-
bic, unless it be assumed that the old
doctrine of monarchies is correct that
Il public debt is public blessing. The
interest of the debt is a cancer which
is constantly eating out the substance of
the people. Pay the debt and
thus compel the holders of the bonds
to invest their means in enterprises that
will he subject to taxation and
that will create labor and help to
build up the material interests of the
country.

An ingenious method of swindling un-
suspicious farmers on pretense of collect
ing statistics for the census is thus de-
scribed: A gentlemanly looking fellow
drives up with blanks for statistics of the
farm-bushels Of wheat, number of cat
tie. acres under cultivation, etc. Be-
tween the table and the foot of the page
where the farmer signs his name attest
ing the statement, is blank space,
whose existence is accounted for as at
fording room for miscellaneous informa-
tion. In month or so the farmer re-
ceives notice from neighboring bank
that his note for $3.50 is due. He knows
nothing of the note, but investigation
shows that the "census-taker" has filled
in the blank with a promise to pay,
which, being in the hands OF an inoncent
holder. must be paid by the unlucky
dupe.
