A Voice From the Third District.

Lefore County Correspondence of the Car
roll Waterman.
But just now there is anxiety throughout
! this fair agricultural realm. A cloud
hangs over the political horizon. The Dem
ocrats are without nominee for Congress
Since the nomination at lIazlehurst the
leading Democrats of the Shoe-string Dis
trict have rallied with tongue and pen to
the standard of Ethel Barksdale, and
shoulder to shoulder with the 18th District,
resolved to push upon this favored son OF
Mississippi the congressional honors. lie
is as we'll known here as in his own district,
and if possible more beloved, honored and
respected. For years his clarion voice has
rung throughout the State, from her gulf
shore to her northern border, in the defence
of right, justice and truth. Feeling tbs,
the citizens here know that he will not
represent the 7th District alone, but the
State, and the whole State; especial
ly that weak section which he must
know is clinging to him in the hour of her
restitution. They know his faithfulness;
they know his fervor; they know his dscre-
ton, and they know his valor-and could
this district give him her actual support it
would be the most flattering vote ever cast
in the valley. As ii is, he has her heartfelt
moral support, and all the influence of her
best citizenship. All feel that his election
will be not only for the good and honor Of
Mississippi, but that Ethel Barksdale will
be another pillar of strength supporting the
great arch of the general government at
Washington. His untiring energy and great
firmness of purpose are unequalled. lie is
close and logical reasoner, a quick and
fluent debater, foe to error and friend to
truth, with a due consideration for the
rights of all. ENIGMA.

Funeral Of Bishop PAYNE.

The Aberdeen Examiner of the Cad ssy,
that the funeral services of Rev. Rober-
Paine, senior Bishop of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, South, on the SATURDAY. rrc

one of the largest in the State, vas hand
somely decorated and the music admirably
adapted to the solemn occasion. Ever
part Of the church was completely filed.
The services we're conducted BY Rev
Bishop II. n. McTyeire, assisted by Presid
ing Elder Kendall, and ReT. 1Tessrs. Mitch
ell and MeVoy, of Aberdeen, and by the
Brothers Scruggs and Messrs. Steele, Porter
and Long, visiting ministers. The pail
bearers consisted Of Reyerends Kendall
scruggs, Steele, McYoy, Porter and Long
Every possible tribute of respect, love
and devotion was paid to the good man.
Every store in the city was closed during
the services, and a long procession of CARR
ages followed the remains of the lamented
Bishop to their last resting place in Aber-
deems beautiful cemetery
The Examiner, in noticing the death Of
Bishop Paine, says:
Born away back among the shadows Of
a dying century, in December, 1899, he
would have been So years OF age had be
lived to see this eyentful year entombed
and no man of America or any other land
ever spanned so broad gap of time with
brighter, purer, saintlier record. A man o.
massive frame and giant intellect, he wa
well fitted by his Maker for the work assign
ed him well fitted for a career that fol
over sixty years had hardly admitted of {
halt in labor. When his pastoral duties
were least exaeting, his pen was busy, and
thousands of pages that the world will moi
willingly see die, attest his literary ability
and preserve his recollections and experien
ces, while he moved and worked the hardest
worker of them all, beside three consecu.
tive generations of workers. The end was
as peaceful as the life he lived, and the in
tellect that had enlightened and electrified
50 olten anu 80 many WAS just AS bright AT
the going down of the sun as in its merid-
ian splendor. While we miss him and
mourn him here as neighbors, friends and
fellowtownsmen and kinsmen, there will be
tears of sorrow shed by those who knew him
well and loved him dearly in every town
and hamlet in the broad South, and at
thousands of hearts beyond her borders.
All is well with the dead Bishop. May the
Master he served so long and so faithfully
be with his stricken household.

The Tariff and Shipping Laws.
N. Y. Herald

NJ I. Herald.
Mr.. John w. Gambler, who is seeking a
reelection to Congress in the Ninth Con-
gressional District of Massachusetts, as 4
Republican, made au address few days ago
before the Middlesex and Essex clubs, at
Boston, in the course of which he said that
he was not in favor of leaving the revision
of the tariff TO the Democratic party. That,
he declared, "is the mission of the Repub-
lican party" Why, then, does it not fulfill
| 1t? Mr.. Gambler and his friends controlled
legislation at the last session Of Congress,
but an overwhelming majority decided to
Keep up the present iniquitous system.
They lodged and eyaded the question by
turning 1t over to a commission which has
made itself the laughing stock of the whole
country.
The following is another gem from Mr..
GAMBLER q speech: "We are also consider
ing the shipping interests of the United
States. Let us strive in the coming Con-
gress 70 regain portion at least of the car
rying trade of the world which we have
lost" Mr.. Gambler knows very we'll that
the restoration of our ocean commerce un-
der Republican rule is out of the quest ion,
and for this reason--it does not suit Mr..
John Roach that it should be restored. On
that question he carries the Republican
party managers in his breeches pockets u
the party remains in power ten or fifteen
years longer the probabilities are that we
shall have no ocean commerce whatever ex-
cept that along the coast. No. The "mis-
sion" Of the grand old party is not to regain
the carrying trade or to revise the tariff.
1t does not mean to, either. On the con-
trary, it intends to destroy the one for the
benefit of Mr.. Roach and to maintain the
other for the benefit Of all the big and littis
protection rings all over the country.

The Fifth District.

Yazoo Sentinel: Every Democrat in the
Fifth District should go the polls on the 7th
of November and cast his vote for Col. Sin
gIeton for Congress. The Republicans are
apparently making no effort, but for ways
that are dark and for tricks that are sly
they are noted. They are probably now
making quiet canvass at night among the
eolored citizens. That is their favorite
mode of eleetioneering down South. An
open canvass doesn't suit. them, especially in
aDistrict like this. All that is necessary for
the Democrats to do is to turn out and vote
and Col. Singleton viii be elected by 5000
majority.

yesterday that, having no conveyance, he
intended to walk eight miles to vote for

Senator Lamar Speaks for Himself

The following extract is taken from a
letter written by DR.. S. v. D. Hill to
the Macon Beacon, he having recently
met Senator Lamar in st. Louis:
In speaking of the political situation in
Mississippi, referred to the charge that he
did not favor the election of Col Barksdale
in the Seventh District. This he repealed
with indignation, and stated that he not
only desired the election of Col. Barksdale
but would canvass the district in his behalf,
If it were not for his domestic misfortune
He spoke of his eminent fitness for seat in
Congress, of his faithful, efficient and long
continued service to the party, and how
much he regretted not being able to take an

il impossible for Mr.. Barksdale to ell
his appointments for the last few days.

does not suffer from his enforced absence,
but exert themselves the more to keep
the flag fun high advanced.

ACTING Secretary of the Interior
Joplin has rendered decision of the ut
most importance to large class of ap-
plicants for pensions. He holds, in eff
feet, that seven years absence may be
taken as proof presumptive of the sol
dier's death, and such proof shall war
rant the issue of a pension to the fam
lily if the other requirements have been
complied with. This decision is a direct
reversal of the practice which has hith-
erto prevailed in the Pension Bureau.
Positive proof of the soldiers death
was required, which in many cases it
was impossible to produce.

We learn that Hon. John r. Lynch,
colored Republican candidate for Con
gress in the 9th District, had been still
hunting in Covipgton county for several
days and put in his appearance at VIII
liamsburg on the first day of the Circuit
Court and desired to address the people.
After court adjourned for dinner, he
was told that he could speak just as
long as he pleased, and accordingly he
held forth for over two hours. Capt
McCaskill was called on by the Demo-
Gratis to reply and he did SO most sue
cessfully. He answered the few argu-
ments that John attempted to make
most triumphantly and the people were
all pleased with the result. 1t was con-
fdently stated that the discussion would
induce one hundred and fifty voters to
come to the election and vote for Judge
Van Eaton who would probably have
not voted at ALL
