The Temperance Movement in
n Hincoln Comfy.

The Prohibition movement in this
county is a success beyond the most
sangine expectations of its friends.
The Mass Meeting which was held
at the Court House last Friday was
composed Of the substantial and
leading citizens every portion
Of the county, and was 50 larga in
numbers that all were not able to get
into the the court room. An oyer
flow meeting was hefi at night at
iIeuck's Hall, which, nOtwithstand-
ing the i1clcmcut weather. nearly
filled the house. DR.. c. b. Gallo
way, clitor Of the New Orleans
Christian Advocate. Elder A. A.
l. max and Rev. Simeon Jordan
were the speakers at the Court
House, and the TWO former also adj
dressed the meeting at night.
As will he seen by the official pro
cccdings, one Of our foremost citi-
zcns PRESIDED over the meeting, and
the hearty applause which greeted
his Introductory remarks, as we'll as
the frequent bursts of applause
which greeted the speakers OF the
occasion, showed the enthusiastic
temper of the meeting. There is no
denying or conccaling the fact that
Prohibition in Lincoln county has
achieved sigral victory.
In pursuance OF policy marked
out at the commencement to keeT
the movement entirely divorced from
from politics, a delegation was APP
pointed TO take charge of the pcti-
tions and present them to the Legs
lature.
The committee on Ways and Means
have before them duty not always
pleasant to perform, but they were
selected on account Of their we'll
known probity and influence, and
they can give the assurance that
every dollar will be faithfully ac-
counted for by the Treasurer.

The Chickasaw Messenger wants a
free election and q fair count, and no
"stuffing" and is not afraid to say so,
Well we hope such things belong to
the past, and that hereafter no place
in the State will give grounds for
the charge Of unfurness in elections.
The thing is demoralizing; it is
wrong; it ought to stop; and as Bill
Arp would say, "may be it will."-
COrinth Herdld.
1t is time 1T were known and I'M
derstood in Mississippi that the man
who stuffs ballot box is no bet
ter than any other thief; and that the
man who accepts an office, knowing
that it has been awarded him by this
kind of dishonesty, is no better than
one who knowingly accepts stolen
goods.

The Democratic ticket in Law
renee is q splendid One from top to
bottom, and the best people of the
county are supporting it with :;
hearty good will. Dickson, the
knight'y candidate for Senator;
Dale, candidate for Representative
Cannon, candidate for Sheriff; and
Watts, candidate for Chancery and
Circuit Clerk, are all Young men
whosesuperior merits have won them
distinction, and they give that vigor
and dash to the campaign which
only young men can inspire. The
balance of the ticket Is composed
Of substantial and influential citi-
zcns who, while they lend the gravity
of Their years to the ticket, also give
to it weight aud worth.
We predict that when the polls
close on next Tuesday evening, the
result will prove that the Democrats
of Lawrence have not h0nored man
on the ticket in vain.

to have their tickets printed in their

General Walker, the Superintendent, of the
Census, in a recent letter to The New iuri;
Tribune, gives some interesting figures illus
truting the general tendency toward The con-
centrating of labor and capital in larger shops
and factories. lie says thlt the establishments
Of 1870 showed 8 as the average number Of
hands aud $500 as the average amount OF
capital. The establishments of 1880 show
l0.7 as the average number OF hands aud
$40, 992 as the average amount Of capital. In
the c1Upers' trade, notwithstanding reduc-
liJn Of 20 per cent in the number of cstab-
llshments, the hands employed have in
creased IL per cent. In the carpenters
trade, the average number of hands en-
ploycd in 1880 is 80. against 80 in 1870,
But this increase in the average number of
hands, says General Walker, does not alone
explain the decrease in the number of cs-
Establishments. We have also to take into
account the prodigious effect of the growth
of the sash, door and blind factories, doing
on large scale and by machinery what was
| formerly done slowly and on the spot by the
individual carpenter. In other words, large
part of the carpenters of to-day work i'll
factories which are not known as carpenters
shops We have, then, TO take into account
the growth of the wheclwrights' trade, which
| Has ltuuCtu upplttIuuly 'lio huilpti ooth VI
| Dlacksmiths and of carpenters. In 1850, aud
again in 1860, no establishments were ic-
turned as engaged distinctly in whcelwright-
ing. In 1870 thelc were 1913, employing
au aggregate OF $3.50 hands. In 1880 there
were 10, 70l, employ ing 10, l0S hands. We
have, also, to take into account the intro
ducllon of machinery into the furniture and
cabinet-making industry, and the wide trans.
pHrtition of the products of that industry
(lurnilure beng now brought in vast quanli-
ties from Indiana and Michigan even To New
Eugland), thus replacing much of the for
mer work OF the local carpenter in rural dis
lricls and small towns. We have next to
consider the immense extension, in late
years. of tue contract system of erecting
buildings, the immediate and necessary effect
of which is TO dlsCOnnect large part OF the
working carpenters OF every city from dttndt
shops, and constitute them movable, DIS
possible force, 10 be hired, now by this con-
tractor and now by that. as jobs arise. Ne
have, last, to consider the rapid substitution
Of brick and stone for wood in building,
evidenced by the fact that the persons en-
ployed in the manufacture of brick IN the
United States have inCrc ised more than 90
per c-nt in ten years In the same way,
while the cross roads blacksmith shop is still
II necessity Of tens of thousands of locasts,
much of Inc work formerly done by black
smiths is now done by wheewrights, lock-
smiths, or maChiniss, OF in hardware fac
tories, or in establishments producing the

known to the market.
