We heard of few candidates and their
strikers who were giving away whisky
here on election day for the purpose of i'll
iluencing voters, but we are glad to know,

beaten, as he should have been, at the
polls One who will thus knowingly vio-
late the law for the sake of office, is about
the last man to entrust with the faithful
performance of official duties.
When in Jackson few days ago we
were informed by Mr.. john Mcdonnell

celebrated Planter Plows will be promptly

foundry which were injured by the fire

ter work than ever.
Rev. J. II. Gambrell, who has been en-
gagged for the past two months in organic
ing the Prohibition move in this county,
left on Tuesday night TO prosecute
similar work in Pike. He has been en-
plOyed by the leaders of the move in Pike,
as here, because of his well known fitness
for the task in hand and the ability and
determination with which he presses the
interests of this great and growing cause
II Mr.. Gambrell needed any introduction
at our hands-which he does not-we
would say to our Prohibition friends in
Pike that they will find in him bold and
valiant advocate and one in every respect
worthy to lead them to success in the bat
tie which they are now about to join with
King Alcohol. His work in this county
has been signal success, and has won for
him the esteem and confidence of the best
people of the county, and the respect, If
not the love, ofthe whisky men themselv
If SANDER and Misrepresentation have been
indulged in concerning him, it was not
expected, nor was it necessary, that he
should turn aside to give such things pub
