been unwell for month, but was confined
to his bed only two weeks, with typhoid

was in his thirty-fourth year. He came
to Mississippi in 1861, locating at Artesia,
and about six years ago removed to Column

The deceased was brother of our estma-
bic townsman, W. II. Perkins, Esq, Cashier OF

our heartfelt sympathy in the loss Of one to
whom he was connected by the strongest
ties of blood, and whose noble traits of
character endeared him to every one.

with the accused. If he killed deceased at
all, it was because the latter had been
tampering with his wife If so, he not only
had right to kill him, but would have
deserved death himself if he had not killed
him. No such scoundrel is fl to live. To
avoid the pollution which always attend
such a william, and save the community
from the presence of such a monster, the
law should not only justify his killing, but
should make it the solemn duty of every
man, woman and child in the community,
to join in hue and cry against him. and

Call for State Prohibition Convention.

To the People Of the State Of Mississippi:
That the liquor traffic has been and still
is of incalculable injury to the State-de-
structive alike of the health, prosperity and
happiness of the peoples a conceded fact.
That its complete and utter suppression
would be productive Of the greatest good, all
are ready to admit. The controversy between
the friends and opponents OF prohibition" is
only this, shall the people be allowed to say
that the traffic in this State shall come to an
end? But when all agree that the end
aimed at is good 1t Is easy to adjust the
controversy by submitting the question to
the votes of the people. If the majority
favor prohi bition, surely that majority ought
to determine the policy OF the State. We
do not believe there are any intelligent peo-
pie in this State who think that the liquor
traffic is Of any benefit. In view of this
We are instructed to call State Convention
of those who favor the prohibition, by law,
of the liquor traffic in this State as a pure
matter of State policy. 1t is understood
that this Convention shall be composed of
delegates from all the counties in this State,
and that our colored fellow-citizens shall be
represented in it upon the same basis with
white citizens of the State.
We are instructed to announce that it is
not our purpose to organize any political
pasty, or to antagnize existing political
organizations. Our sole purpose Is to COM
bine and cooperate, SO as to induce the
adoption of a constitutional amendment,
prohibiting the liquor traffic in this State
after given day-leaving the scope and
phraseology of the amendment to the wis
dom of the Legislature. If we have an enc
my or opponent it is whisky. We have no
quarrel with the men who, under the sane
ton of law, are engaged in this traffic. We
have many friends in all parties, and are
determined not to forfeit their good will or |
esteem by drifting or being drawn into a
new party with platform and candidates.
In order, therefore, that the friends of
prohibition may have an opportunity to
deliberate upon, and devise the means nee T
essary to secure the adoption of the proper |
constitutional amendment, in pursuance of
authority vested in US by the meeting hereto
fore held in this city, a State Convention,
composed of such delegates from each coun-
ty, as they may appoint, is called to assem-
bic at Jackson, in the Hall Of the House of

EDITORS CLARION: Are honors easy
burdens equal; equal jnstice? Ipresume a
large majority of our fellow citizens will
agree with us (yOu and the writer, that all
of our youth should have an opportunity
to be educated. We may differ as to the ex-
tent and as to the means TO be used | hest
tate not TO say, provide for all of our youth
to be instructed in the three R's-Reading,
Riting, and Rithmetic, and under compe-
tent instructors mean competent All of
our citizens should have an advantage of
schools, to enable them to transact ordina-
ry business. None permitted to vote who
cannot read, and write his name, and show
his tax receipt. 1t is not equal or Just that
the industrious and frugal should pay taxes
to be used il educating children of the in
dolent and the thriftless, those who pay not
even poll tax. There are many more black
polls than white largely more educable of
the frst-25l ,438 colored 17J, Pol white ;
with many of the white educated in private
schools. How to equalize the burden, l
know not but help if some means could
be devised to require all to pay poll tax.
Our burden could be more equalized if the
vast cost of trials of petty cases could be
made out of the parties, by requiring all
cost be paid by work done in the county on
public roads, etc, at current wages, coun-
ties paying the wages. This thing of board
ing and clothing criminals better than hon
est people can afford, is bonus to commit
crimes. Feed light-light diet is healthy.
