names erased. These we're of the
nature of new petition, and would
have been required to lie over one
month surely, or even If they had
been admitted and the 80 names that
are claimed to have had erased from
the counter petition, the result
would not have been changed-the
license would have been defeated.
The effort to defeat the petition
for license has not been by any
means a failure. 1t has been the
means of bringing to light the un-
scrupulous proceeding of the friends
of the whisky business, and thus has
aided in educating public sentiment.
The anti-whisky sentiment is grow
ing in our county and district and
only needs thorough, determined and
continued agitation to cause our peo-
pie to utterly prohibit the traffic.
We have little Clifton Prohibi-
ton Club which is gradually growing
in numbers and influence.
Recently Mr.. j. II. Gambrell vis-
tied the community and in his usual
vigorous manner showed up the
whisky business in several of its
phases. He spoke in Fellowship
church in the morning of the second
Sunday in May, and in Rodney Bap-
tist church at night.
On Monday came the meeting in
Fayette, recently reported by Rev.
J. P. Drake in your columns. By
constant work in this effort to re-
deem the homes of the people from
the deadly evils of the drink curse,
the time will come when the whisky
fiend is banished to his native hell.
The editor of the Southern Rev.
ellie has kindly given a column in
his paper for the discussion Of this
great question of Temperance, and
the friends of the cause feel quite
grateful to him for the favor. They
hope thereby to reach and cultivate
public opinion on the subject.
All friends of Temperance ought
to secure the services OF the secre-
tary, Rev. ]. II. Gambrell, if they
desire to secure the best results from
their efforts. A few lectures from
him would be exceedingly valuable
in any community. He has done a
magnificent work in organizing the
Prohibition forces all over the
State. But it is necessary to lecture
again and again. The people need
line upon line and precept upon pre-
cept in this matter, in order to crys-
tallize sentiment. May his work be
abundantly blessed of the Lord in
the caEse of God and home and ma
tive land" in the redemption of all
that is good and pure from the power
of the rum tend, is our prayer.

The Hattiesburg Temperance In
ion was organized in April. | can
not give the exact date, as some of
the records have never been placed
in my possession.
The main objects of the organlza-
ton are to secure prohibitOry law
for this county Perry, and to exc
cute the laws in reference to the
traffic in "heli's beverage. We
have a law to prohibit the liquor
traffic at Hattlesburg. Violations
of this law was the immediate occa-
sion of our organization.
The society now numbers seventy
nine members, and is increasing at
every meeting (weekly.)
The enthusiasm seems to be grow
ing. Evidently some good has been
accomplished already. We are try
ing to get enough members to per-
ceptibly influence the election, if
necessary. We are determined to
elect only temperate men, and men
favorable to the Prohibition cause
to places of trust and honor. We
feel confident of success in banlsh-
ing from our county the curse OF

A Few Facts about Whisky.

One bushel Of the best corn will
only make three gallons of whisky;
but little strychnine easily raises 1T
to four gallons. This is so unlver-
sal that four gallons is now the aver
age yield. One drug house in Lon
don, in 1867, sold more strychnine
to a liquor house than the whole
city could use incidentally. Mark
the progress in evil. A distiller adds
one-fourth by the use Of strychnine.
The wholesaler takes this adulterated
stock and doubles it by the use of
stamonium and opium. The retail
-er gives it another turn. He
doubles it again by the use OF bella
donna. This brings ten cents a
drink, and here is the motive power.
This is the practice all over the land.

the other plan which has never beel
resorted to has IN it elements Q
strength which ought not to be over

isIatures Of two-thirds of the sever
Al states, shall call a convention
for proposing amendments whlc
shall be valid when ratified by I'll
legislatures Of three tourths Of til

three fourths thereof" There
nothing in the constitution requirin
the application Of all the legislature
in one year nor in twenty.
When legislature desires sue
an amendment. or such convention
it can pass Il vote calling for it TN
send it's record of that vote to til
secretary Of state, and when the SCI
rctary Of state has received certli
Gates from two-thirds OF the stat'
that the legislatures thereof have a.

congress is required to call Il

Last fall there were $50, 600 vote
in the United States who made d

and it created but little impressl'

TnEHE has been a general complaint
and restlcssncss upon the part Of the
Democrats because President Cleveland
has been 50 slow in bouncing Republi-
can Office holders. The Chicago News
Ia inclined TO think this Is good scheme
for the Democrats In the coming cleo
tions, and says. Ever since the first
month Of President Cleveland's admin
istration the Office seeking portion Of
the Democratic party has been telling
rs that the refusal to turn out Republi-
can officials by wholesale and I'LL their
places with Democratic workers was
running the Democratic party. The best
answer to this comes from Ohio, where
1t IA held that the Presidents policy has
done more than anything else to make
Democratic success possible IN that
State this year. According to a prom
incnt Republican authority-so says the
Washington sunday llerald-there are
1000 third and fourth class postof-
fees in OHIO held at present by men
who have been Republican workers.
bat who are now afraid to take an
active part In the campaign lest they be
removed from Office for violation OF the
civil service law. The loss Of 30 many
workers In the small towns, where post
masters have usually exerted so great an
influence over elections, must, OF course,
be very Injurious to the Republican
cause. Then, too, while the Republic
Guns suiicr this loss, the Democrats en-
Joy very elective gain in the fact that
every Democrat who hopes for the re-
moval Of a Republican postmaster and
wishes to be his successor will labor
with extraordinary vim in order that he
may attract the attention OF those who
control the matter of appointments; for
1t has been frequently shown that the
term offensive partisan applies only to
men who, while in Office, labor for par
tisun ends. The fact that u man not
holding office works for Democratic sue
cess does not prejudice the administra-
ton against him.
