Splr1tualisn.

We have lately had in eur town a regular
seance on exhibition, such as we read OF
in New York or New England, in which
tables are tipped and weird hands flourish
above the cabinet, and sundry extraordina-
ry tricks are PLAYED on the committee of in
spectlon selected to guard against fraud.
The southern people have distinguished
themselves by their skepticism in all mat
tiers of spirituaiism, refusing to build on it,
or otherwise regnrd it than as the clever
trick OF an expert juygler. But Professor
st. Elmo created somewhat of a sensation.
Now. after all, let us consider what he
and his retinue OF spirits have accomplished.
Here is a man who pretends to call from the
dim and dreadful world of spirits those
who have gone before u.s. and to signalize
their presence by supernatural acts; in 9TH
er words, by the performance of miracles.
and what have the spirits accomplished ?
In the midst of large city like ours where
| there are all sorts Of people suffering with
all sorts of maladies, mental and physical.
the spirits have united hard nots in rope,
and stripped a good natured experimenter
OF his coat and vest while his hands were
tied. This is very poor sum total of ac-
tual good accomplished, especially when
we consider that the audience paid the
spirits about one hundred dollars for the
clever feat. When the spirit seances begin
to accomplish some real good, we shall
consider their appearance a fit subject for
serious thought, but this farcical juggery
i'll becomes the dead, and therefore we
maintain that no respectable ghost engage
in the show.

A Christmas Dinner.

The editor OF THE LEDGER ate one of his
Christmas dinners with the family OF Mr.
J. L. Mikell. Mr.. Mikelps household
know how TO serve dinner and make
one enjoy it. Wedistinctly remember, and
they can never forget it, that Frank White
OF Beauregard, and Marshal Martin were
on hand. They are modest eaters-delicate
men. A whole turkey is little too much
for one of them, but not enough for both
They have weakness for mutton should
ers roast pig, roast veal, ribs of beef, oyster
patties, salads, and the substantials of life.
1t is not on record that they ever refused to
conclude a meal with pound cake, fruit
cake, jelly cake, apple tarts, ice cream,
cheese, coffee and other things if offered
They have small capacity for eating, but
modesty never allows them to refuse to
make an effort to destroy everything SET
before them. We don't like such modestv
1t is dangerous at meal time. At last ac-
counts White and Martin were still alive
They ought to be, having taken on board
enough for good long VOYAGE.

Arrest of an Officer,

Marshal Martin was arrested and tried
before Judge Baggett on Monday of last
week, on an affidavit sworn out by Anthony
Brown, charging him with assault and
battery. The facts ELECTED on the trial were
as follows: Brown and another negro man
were in Smiths saloon and were having
some words over Il money matter, which
amounted to a disturbance of the peace.
Mr. Smith, the proprietor, sent for Marshal
Martin to quell it. When he approached
them, Brown turned toward him and de-
manded to know what business he had
there, and other such questions, interspers-
ing them with insulting oaths. Martin
then struck him, tor which offense he was
arraigned, tried and acquitted. He was
only doing his duty, which he was sworn to
do, and which he had been requested by
tax-paying citizen to do, in whose house
the disturbance occurred. 1t will be bad
day for Brookhaven when any Of our courts
decide that any officer cannot use physical
force when necessary in enforcing an obedi-
| erce to the law,

Wanted to Lynch Him.

There was good deal of excitement il
town last Saturday, caused by the appear
ance of large number of men from bea
three who said they were here to lynch Ed
Grayham, the negro boy who outraged {
little girl, about five years old, daughter o.
J. Q. Rawls, November Oath. He was ar.
rested soon after committing the act, tried
before Justice w. G. Price, was committed
by him and brought to town by Mr.. Rawls
Ii the parties had lynched the brute at the
time, the deed might have been excusable
but they waited too long to make the at.
tempt, and had talked too much about it tc
succeed. When they demanded the keys
to the Jail last Saturday, Mr.. Mikell told
them the negro was not there. He allowed
them to examine the jail to find his words
were true. Having heard there would be
demand made for the keys last Saturday
he sent the prisoner off, and will see that he
is protected till court convenes here on the
fourth Monday in this month.

The Mississippi Mills.

The Atlanta Constitution has very long
and interesting article on the Cotton Expo.
sition, and from ii we clip the following
article relative to the Mississippi Mills, at
Wesson. 1t has watched closely the pro-
ducts of Southern industries, and notes
that great interest was taken by Northern
manufacturers and capitalists in the sue
cess of Southern cotton and WOODEN mills.
1t says:
1t is with pride that We congratulate our
sister state of Mississippi Thy the exhabit
OF the Mississippi mills) as having received
the highest award that the judges could give
with recommendation i gold medal upon
her manufactures Of wooden goods --cassi-
meres. jeans doeskins, etc. The Mississippi
mills, located at Wesson, Miss, and control
ed by that prince OF planters, f. Richard
son, modestly placed their handsome exhib-
1t before the public at the opening of the ex-
position, and through the uniform courtesy
and attention OF their agent, Mr.. H. c. Caul-
kIns, have invited the closest and most
severe criticism thereon.
We think we speak the universal opinion
when we say that their general exhibit of
WOODEN and cotton goods is superior to any
thing heretofore placed on exhibition. We
congratulate Mr.. Caulkins upon being able
to swing to the breeze his blue ribbon, with
the recommendation OF the Judges for the
award Of gold medal thereto attached.
The following items in reference to these
mills may be interesting to our readers
The mills arc run by two Corliss engines,
one OF two hundred horse power and the
other of two hundred and fifty the fuel
consumed being wood, supplied from the
timber tract of four thousand acres belong
ing to the mill The machinery includes
ten thousand spindles and three hundred
and eighty looms, and the average force
employed is six hundred and fifty opera
tives, who, with their families constitute
the bulk of the population of Wesson.
! The mills consume, annually, one million
five hundred thousand pounds of cotton
and four hundred thousand pounds of
wool, manufacturing twenty-five varieties
of wooden goods in one hundred and TWEEN
ty-six different patterns, and forty flour va
rieties Of cotton fabrics in one hundred and
tifty-fve patterns. As to the stock in these
mills, it Is only necessary to say that there
is not a dollars worth Of it on any market,
or to be bought at any price. Those who
hold ii cannot find any other investment in
America that would justify them in selling
it. To the brilliant management and
splendid business qualities of Col. Ed.
Richardson, president of this company, and
Capt. VIM. Oliver general superintendent,
our commonwealth owes the unexampied
success OF great enterprise that has pio-
neered Mississippi-the greatest OF staple
States-into the ranks OF manufacturers.

The Board Of Supervisors,

The new Board of Supervisors met or
Monday last and organized by electing NJ
w. Novels President While the Board
that has just passed out of existence may
have done some things that did not NEE,
with general appreciation, they also did
many things for which they deserve credit
In this connection it may not be out Of
| place to state few facts with which all are
not probably acquainted -Four years ago,
according to the report of the Grand Jury,
the county was burdened with a debt of
$4,000; we had no Courthouse; there were
but few bridges; county warrants were
worth but fifty cents on the dollar, and the
tax levied by the previous Board was thirty
mills on the dollar. The debt has been
wiped out, together with the unusual and
additional judicial expenditures made nec-
essary on account of bulldozing; we have
an elegant Courthouse, costing in the
neighborhood of $4,000; about thirty
bridges have been built, and warrants are
at par. The tax levy for the past fiscal
year was only thirteen mills on the dollar
and five mills additional will settle all OF
the present Indebtedness of the county
This is good showing There may be
many causes for this desirable state of at
fairs, but we should cheerfully accord tc
the Board their true measure of credit
They have turned the county over to theil
successors in a good condition, and we trust
they can make as satisfactory showing Al
the expiratio" of their term. They haye
been bequeathed system OF reform and
economical management which, if followed
up, will redown to their credit and to tht
interest OF the people. We welcome the
new, and extend our best wishes to the re.
