duced bill in tho House on the 3lst of
January TO submit tho question of amend.
mont or no amendment to amendment to
section & Of article of the Constitution of
the State to the people of the State.
His amendment proposes to require the
fines collected for tho violation of the penal
laws OF the State, and all moneys received
for licenses granted under tho Jaws of the
State, for the sile OF intoxicating liquors or
keeping of dram-shops to be paid directly
into the county treasury Of the several
counties in which such fines and licenses
are collected and by them disbursed for the
benefit Of the schools of their respective
counties, instead of being paid into the
State Treasury and paid out for the bene-
fit Of all the schools in the State according
to the number Of educable children as now
required by said amendment OF said section
oil the Constitution. He thinks that tho
people who have to be annoyed by the OK.
is.enee of saloons in their counties ought
TO be allowed to enjoy the benefits arising
from the revenues from this source.

duty is to raise the necessaries Of life at

An argument used against this policy
is that the colored laborer will not agree
to raise any thing but cotton. The mer-

have cotton If VIC furnish you meat,

Interesting Letter From Yazoo.
YAzoo CRY, Jan. Both, 1884.

YAzoo CRY, Jan. Both, 1884.
EDITORS CLARION: The Democratic Coun-
ty Convention met to-day to nominate a
Sheriff and Constables rice those elected at
last election and who had failed to qualify.
The candidates for Sheriff we're: Messrs.
Sim Harrison, s. II. Childress, X. w. Exum,
d. Bunch, n. N Wilson, ID. G. Love and A,
NJ. Hicks Capt, Sim Harrison was nomi-
mated on tho tenth ballot, and on motion
his nomination was made unanimous.
Yazoo holds no man better fitted for the
office. Capt. Harrison is a man of nerve,
energetic and conscientious, and under his
administration it will be safe to predicate
that the Office will not run itself. The cleo
ton has been called for the 18th of Febru-
airy
The following resolutions were adopted
by the Convention;
WHEREAS, Differences of opinion exist in
the Legislature of such character rs to
perhaps render it unfeasable to carry a
bill through strictly in accordance with a
bill instructed for by the last convention;
therefore be it
Reslrcd, That our Representatives have
discretion TO obtain levee protection in the
manner deemed best by them, adhering as
closely as possible under the circumstances,
to their former instructions, that they may
agree to consolidated levee district, if
separate district be not feasible, so that
only in either event taxes be uniform and
placed on no one species of property alone.
A resolution was passed, that we desire
that the tax on land be not specific but dd
tdlOrem; it was also resolved, that it as the
wish of this Convention that no part of
Yazoo county be cut OF in order TO form a
new county.
Trestle work for the railroad is now be-
ing constructed through town, and track

The Legislature.
Bonneville Pleader.


From all we can gather, the Legislature
is moving on pretty we'll. Speaker Inge
makes fine presiding officer The. COM
mittees are all working well. Some MEM
Der has introduced a resolution to adjourn
finally on the 10th of February. This, to
say the least, is premature. The Legisla-
ture should remain in session long enough
to make clean sweep of the business be-
fore it. Let the members make provision
for an epidemic, if it should unfortunately
come upon us. Let them adjust that levee
system for the river counties. We don't
want to hear hue and cry for an extra ses-
sion after the Legislature adiourns. 1t
is meet and proper that all business of a
public nature be finished before the men,
bers so home. The members are paid a
salary to attend to the legislative business
of the whole State and they should not
adjourn until they have finished the bust
ness which called them together.
The Agricultural Lien Law will come up
again in the shape of bill from the SEN
ate. The Temperance question will have
to be considered, 1t seems now to be con-
coded that local .option will be adopted.

Sorghum It's Culture and Uses.

That it can be improved on, the inn
provcmcnts already made, is a fact
which no one doubts, Every effort
should be made to make it ms perfect as
possible, because as an article of food,
especially for the young and the labor
ing classes, whose provisions are scarce,
and nothing but a mortgage on the com
ing crop will secure them, it is safe to
say that this article will supply one
third "a fourth certainly-of what is
necessary to support family.
We started to write about sorghum
sugar Those who raise sorghum have
found out that it makes a very good ar
ticlc of sugar. We have not ascertained
the relative quantity of saccharine mat
ter there is in first class sugar cane and
sorghum, nut we presume there is not
much difference.

or labor, and to carry out the settled
convictions of our most experienced
