= FRANK f. STARK, who killed Allen
in the Vicksbu'g theatre, las been
granted bail by Judge Cowan on a
writ Of hdbeDs corpus in the sum Of
$4,000. The Virksburg Post of the
pad inst. contains splendid article
showing clearly by the evidence and
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the Thomas case that bail
should not have been granted. The
following is the quotation from tue
Supreme Court decision:
Viewed in the most favorable
light for the d"!e idant, his act in
preparing his pistol for quick and
ready access, and walking up to
deceased and calling out. Pm ready
for you to Shoot was 4 challenge
TO fight an impromptn duel. He
who slays another in a duel, whether
impromptu or otherwise, and however
fairly conducted, is legally a muir
derer; but he who walks up behind
an antagonist unaware of his pres
ence, and invites him to fight, and
shoots him 10 the back before he can
draw is an assassin. 1t is true de-
PENDANT says he shot because de-
ceased threw his hand behind and
thereby induced him to believe that
he was about to draw a pistol. But
he who compels another TO get ready
for self-defencc, by his own conduct
cannot claim that the responsive pre-
paration has put his own lite in
danger and thereby justified him in
stopping the preparation by taking
life"
In the Stark Allen case, it was
not shown that Allen even attempt
ed to draw a weapon. The Post also
makes some other good points.

The Cotton awards ~ E.oufs
Vile.

The aggregate Of the cotton pre-
miums at the Louisville Exposition
reached the sum of $500, aud OF
this total, THREE THOUSAND AND TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS were
awarded to Mississippi alone. Con.
sidering the fact that nine States
were competing for premiums it must
he conceded that Mississippi carried
up her corner in a most creditable
manner.
The successful competitors from
Mississippi were as follows:
The best bale Of long staple cot
ton. J. b. Allen, of Claiborne county,
81 900.
For the hest bale, long staple,
Capt. S Ii. Parisot, Of Yicksburg,
$3.50.
For best bale Of short staple, A.
N. DooEer, OF Pamela county, $1,000
For third best bale short staple
+. f. Bryant, of Pamela county.
$3.50.
For the hest FIVE bales, Sea Island
excepted. T. +. Bryant of Pamela
county, $500.
For best hale of Mississippi cotton,
J. W. Chandler of Noxukee county
$500.
For second best twenty cotton
stalks, w. S. Hamilton, of Prentiss
county, $50.-Total, $3,250.-Ticks

xhe Old War Cry Of a Solid South
10 be Revived.

The Times-Dcmocrat special, OF
the 9Th, inst, from Washington City,
saws:
The programme of the Republican
leaders here tor the campaign next
,e.rr has already been announced
The word has gone forth to shout
again the Old war cry of "solld
South" Old Republicans prejudices
at the North are to be revived, il
possible, by the claim that the Vir-
ginia election was largely affected
by the intimidation of the negroes
and appeals to race prejudice. That
this card is TO be played next year,
leading Republicans candldly admit,
and they say, "whlle the Virginis
election promises a solid South, it
will help to bring about an equally
solid North" 1t does not seem pos
sible that this lmbecile cry of these
desperate politicians can again deter
the people of the North from voting
against the robber crew who com
mands the ship Of State.

The Cases against Ex-Sherid
Cook.

It is frnsh in the minds of all that
the board of supervisors employed A
w. Burret and Sessions IL Cassidy
of Brookhaven, to bring suit agains,
the bondsmeh Of w. w. Cook for an
alleged defalcation, reported by a
committee to be about $3.50. The
matter came up at this term Of the
court and A. G.. McNair, of Brook
haven, was appointed referee, on
whose report the court acted. There
were four cases, three against Cook
and one by Cook against The county.
After a week or more thorough in.
vestigation, the referee reported that
the county was indebted to Cook IN
the sum of one thousand dollars, and
so Just and proper was the decision
that Messrs. Sessions & Cassidy did
not except to the report. Thus il
will be seen that not only was Cook
not a defaulter, but that the county
owed him a Thousand dollars, and
that the action of the board of super.
visors has cost the county nearly
81, 500.-Coptah Signal.

The Farewell of bishop Green.

The farewell of the venerable
Bishop of Mississippi was one of the
touching incidents of yesterday
session Of the general convention.
He told the deputies that he was
the last survivor of the convention
of 1928. What a marvellous exper-
fence a man must have who can
look back over GO years in these
days of rapid change, and especially
over period OF such great change
in every relation, both Of Church
and State in America, as Bishop
Green has witnessed The good
Bishop is in his Saith year, aud nat
urally looks upon his course as near
ly finished. He has been 63 years
in holy orders, and "a Years in the
episcopate. and in al that time has
preserved the deep respect Of all who
have known him.-PhiiadelphtG

There was considerable disappointment
among jurors, witnesses. lawyers aud litI.
giants on reaching Monticello last Mnnday
and finding no court present. Judge Nav
crs and Distric;-Attorney Huddlestor had
been unavoidablv delayed and did not
reach Monticello until TuesAay. However,
business was pushed when the court did
get to work. A splendid Grand Jury was
impaneled with that level-headcd gentle
man, w. w. Williams, of Silver Crcek, a.
foreman. The docket is light and most Oi
the civil business was disposed of the first
day. The case Of young Baygents was
to have been tried this term, but owning
to the absence of important witnesses for
the defense, it was postponed until pext
term. The suit of BroOkhaven against
Lawrence county was compromised by
Lawrence county agreeing to pay so pei
cent on amount involved and costs. BE-
sides the usual court officers, the following
attorneys were in attendance. A. III. Lon.
gino, of the home bar; r. II. Thompson, A.
c. McNair aud G. G. Chrisman, of Brook.
haven; Ben King, Jr., of Beauregard. and
J. l.. Meade, of Hazlehurst.

We pass over here all OF the ill
ustured, low-brcd filings made by
the above writer at The LEADER, as
unworthy of special notice, aud will
deal in few words with a phase OF
the subject that is ofrcal importance

Mississippi, and the great mass OF
the people of Copiah county in par
ticuIar. So far, there has been

tie abuse fom the Signal is only q
fair sample Of what has been dealt
outconcerniug THE LEADER aud other
journals which do not see things as
these Copiahans themselves. With
utmost Difference to the opinions of
all such persons, such course, while
it may be natural, ls not wise. Every
day the Matthews letter and the
resolutions passed swift upon Print
Matthews death by the political lead
ers who opposed him, are spreading
in circulation and elicitipg the Sc
verest criticism both on the part of

is not going to help matters in the

lie, denounce all those who dare ex-
press an opinion contrary to their
own. This is country of free
press and free speech, people
will write and talk, and if this is the
policy our neighbors expect to pur-
sue, we can assure them that they
will have time for little else for the
next year to come. We COM
mend to them the. example
of the citizens of Danville,
Virginia, in regard to the negro riot
there. Let committee of investlga-
ton be appointed and, if need be,
witnesses sworn and examined, and
if there was real necessity for what
has been done let everything in jus
LITIGATION Of the late extraordinary
programme, be brought to light and
published. Articles like the Signals
do not cover the ground. Such a
course, with a righteous cause, would
go farther than whole volumes Of
abuse of those who do not and can
not, thus far, see as Copiahans
themselves seem to see.
Two things may be set down as
certain and beyond cavil: LIST.
Somebody Tor set of bodies) is ter
ribly to blame for what has recently
happened in our siste r county and
2nd, some map, set Of men or party
will as surely be held to account be-
fore the bar Of public opinion. 1t is
entirely with Copiahans themselves
to show clearly TO the country where
this possibility shall rest, If it
Gao be placed upon Matthews and his
followers, as Democrat. we say so
much the better; if it must fail else
wke-e, be it so. In neither case cau
the Democratic party and the peo
pie of Mississippi afford to shoulder
the responsibility.

NICE DOINGS IN BELLEVUE.
A Scrimmage that May Yet Result
in BlOOlShcd.

\ lively scrimmayc occurred in
Bellevue yesterday, between {. Will
holt and Clark Nichols. After an UNI
equal contest, in which NICHOLS re-
ceived several contusions about his
frontispiece, they were separated.
Nichols, unwilling to let the at1'ray
stop there, started for his cabin to heel
himself, and constantly threatened to
blow Wilhoit into smithercens from
his blundcrbuss. a large crowd fol-
lowed Nichols, some to see the fun
and others to dissuadc him from exc
outing his threats. Before he could
have done so, however, Officer Little
appeared on the ground and ordered
Nichols to throw down his arms.
This Nichols refused and instead
showed fight. Officer Little, finding
patience had ceased to be a virtue,
dove for him and, being resisted, drew
his billy and used it with such effect
that Nicholas head came near being
put in the shape Of the earth's surface
after an earthquake. The rumpus
was quoted, but it is stated that the,
are all three sleeping on their arms

4 Lucky EulliOllite.

Dan Harrington is lucky man.
He placed two shifts of men at work
on the Lincoln claim, which he loca
ted January |, and started in to ex-
plore his location. Yesterday the
men cut into ledge of ore. This To-
cation lies between the Parnell and
Chicago, the Bay State and Saturn
and Harrington is seriously inclined
to start night shifts to expedite dcvel
opments. This claim promises well
to become valuable mine. He is
also interested in several other new re-
locations made January with Mar
tin Curran and others, and all of tn,
prospects are developing we'll.
There is much advantage in being
informed, as there were at least sever
mineral locations made January
near Bullion, that are worth to-day, a.
mine values are estimated, $1,000
each.
