Politics in Lawrence.
Editor Brookhayen Leader :

N~~s-NNN@
Though Sheriff Cannon was fair
ly and squarely defeated by the
people Of Lawrence county for n
nomination in the primary election
for said county, yet some of the
malcontents on account of his de.
feat, have been vigilant trying to
find excuse for their inconsistent
support of Mr.. Byrne, the Republi-
can candidate for said office, and
have discovered many mountains IN
molehills. The last of these insig-
ficant - discoveries is that in Beat
3, minors under 81 years of age
voted in the primary election. The
writer is informed that there was
one such occurrence land only one J,
and that this offending young man
voted for D. ]. Cannon for Sheriff,
and yet the recipient of this vote
and his friends are trying to use
this and many other little bubbles
of thin air to defeat the honestly ex
pressed wish of the Democratic pri-
mary election. The writer desires
to correct the report that is being
circulated that the people of Beat
8, are dissatisfied over the result of
the primary election. Owing to the
circulation Of various reports OF
fraud, soon after said election, there
was some dissatisfaction in our
ranks, but as soon as our people
came TO understand that ali these
reports of fraud came from small
sources, and grew out of the defeat
Of Cannon, the breath of dissatisfac-
ton disappeared from our midst,
and our people are now solid for the
Democratic nominees. II the re-
mainder Of the county will come up
as well as Beat 3, the opposition
ticket will find but little comfort
after the election.

Healthful Vigor for the Girls.

How Judge Chr1sman will Vote.

A gentleman of this city wrote to
Judge Chrisman at Woodville soon
after the late Prohibition Barbecue
at Young's Mill, at which Watts de-
clared himself opposed to Local OPP
ton and squarely on the side Of liq-
uor, asking him how he would cast
his vote and influence in the pend
ing contest for Representative. By
permission, we are permitted TO give
below the full text Of his reply.
Would that every voter were actua-
ted by the same lofty principle:
WooDv1LLE, Mss. OcT. II, '85.
DEAR SIR Il have yours giving
me an account of the Barbecue at
the Mill.
There ought to be no doubt in
any mans mind as to where shall
stand and how l shall vote in a con-
test between candidate who favors
local option and one who opposes it .
l would vote for my worst enemy
and against my best friend in such
a contest if my enemy favored local
option and my friend opposed it.
Yours faithfully,

Opening Of the State Female Col
lego.

The Mississippi Industrial Insti
tute and College for the industrial
education Of the white girls of the
State, was formally opened at Co
lumbus on the 22nd inst, under the
most favorable auspices. A Times.
Democrat special says from every
section Of the State, scholars had
come, and the aggregate number
who have entered is already over
800. Many of the relatives of the
young ladies accompanied them,
and Columbus that day ente r
tanned as her guests several thou
sand of the best people of the State.
The exercises were opened in the
chapel. building of the college (Which
was crowded to overfowing) at IL
o'clock by an appropriate address OF
welcome, delivered on behalf of the
citizens of Columbus by Senator f.
7. Sykes. This was responded to
by Senator j. McMartin, of Clai-
borne county, and Col. J. L. Power,
of Jackson, both Of whom dwelt at
considerable length upon the noble
purposes of the institution and the
benefcent results that will accrue to
the womanhood of the State from it
in the future. Hon. Jas. F. Harri-
son, chairman of the building com
mittee of the college, in a short adj
dress turned the buildings over to
the Board of Trustees.
Gov. Lowry, upon the part of the
State and the trustees, accepted the
buildings, warmly commenting the
the building committee for the faith,
full, efficient and thorough manner in
which they had discharged their du,
ties. He reviewed the history of the
college and spoke of the doubts he
had entertained regarding the pro-
priety of its establishment. He said
that he was firmly convinced now,
after visit here, that the institu-
ton was not only necessity, but
would prove a grand success. He
spoke of the vast improvements of
the age, and the inviting and con-
stantly increasing field there was for
woman's labor. He dwelt upon the
numerous advantages Columbus pos
sessed over any other town in the
State for the location of the college,
specifying particularly its splendid
waterworks system and the general
advancement of the town. He pre-
dicted great success for the institu-
ton from the day of its Inaugural
ton, and closed by formally declar-
ing it open and turned over the key
to President Jones, whom he warm
ly commended for his efficient labors
in the cause. Gov. Lowry's address
evoked continued and hearty APP
plause.
DIR. Jones replied in fitting terms,
showing his appreciation ofthe great
trust bestowed upon him.
Mrs. E. G. Peyton, of Hazlehurst,
who from its incipiency has taken
a lively interest in the college, was
called for, and in O few well chosen
remarks, deprecated her ability to
make speech, but expressed the
pride she felt in the State and in
the college, feeling sure she said, that
Mississippi's daughters were now in
safe hands.

Der of the New Mississippian under

of its founder, Mr.. E. S. Wilson, the

The Democrats OF Jefferson are
badly divided on candidates for
Floater, and some will support Wise
and others McLaurin. The same
seems to be true in this county also
it being claimed that the Lincoln
county delegates did not carry out
the wishes of our county convention
by refusing to accept Jeferson's
choice. We have been shown a let
ter, however, from MIR. McLaurin to
Dr. Wise, in which he disclaims any
intention of being a candidate,
though he docs think he was unfair
ly treated by part Of the Lincoln
delegation.

Not Open to that Objection.

Of the popular medicines they see adver-
tised are nine-tenths rum. That is true of
many, but not of DR.. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. The Doctor agrees
with his temperance friends that it is
better to die of disease than drink. Fa-
vorte Remedy contains not a drop of al
cohol, and cures Kidney troubles, Liver

Watts lays great stress on the ar
gument to the country people that
the town Of Brookhaven is against
him. This opposition is very
significant. For certainly the best
way to find out the truth about q
man is to 60 among those who hes,
know him. The estimation in
which he is held by his own towns
people ought to weigh heavily with
those who earnestly desire to fine
out whether he is worthy OF conf
dcnce. II his neighbors vote against
him, it is circumstance which
should never be ignored.

indicated by communication in

MEAN MINING.

There are class of men manag-
ing mines in this State who are a
constant menace to the develop
ment and progress of the country.
They are before the people osten-
sibly as mine managers but their
business extends further; they are
also grocers, lodging, boarding house
and saloon keepers,
They future so closely upon out
side finances that miners who are
in their employ must patronize GER
tain boarding-houses and stores, or
be discharged. Upon all these
transactions the company takes its
thieving percentage, and the men
must submit or seek employment
elsewhere. They furnish poor
board and lodgings at exhorbitant
rates, and wretched liquors at the
clearinghouse bar. But the men
who feed upon their miserable fare,
sleep upon their vermin-ridden
beds and swallow their vile liquors,
must continue the practice or get
out. ...... .-
He must neither object to the
bad fare or growl at the liquor
rates, but accept all with a smiling
countenance and affect to enjoy it.
It brings one back to the time
when Louis Phillip ruled France,
although the people hated, feared
and despised him, they sang,
Happy, Oh Happy Are We"
whenever the old scoundrel hove in
sight, and it was the only means
they had of keeping their heads
upon their shoulders.
The Grand Prize at Tuscarora is
alleged to be run on the plan of COM
polling employees to turn the
bulk Of their wages back into the
treasury of the company through
the medium of certain stores and
boarding houses run by the COM
pany. 1t is a roundabout way of
lowering miners wages.
1t is simply reducing the miners
to the level of the serf, takes away
his independence, tramples upon
his citizenship and degrades his
American manhood. 1t is a shame
that men living in Nevada should,
on account of having wives and
children to clothe and feed, be
compelled to submit to these out
RACES. The labor organizations Of
the State should see that these
wrongs are righted. Major Dennis,
Of the Times Review, has opened
his batteries upon the iniquity, and
the press of the State, irrespective
of party, should back him up. This
sort of mining should be driven
from the State.
