THE PARNELLITEs.
The Parnellites constitute at pre-

compact political party in the country.
They believe that their prospects are
bright.
The American plan formulated this
week in the Boston Pilot by Sullivan
TO raise fund at the January League
Convention in America sufficient to en-
able Parnell to pay the salaries Of $500
per annum for five years to ninety
Home-Rule members disturbs the To-

elates the Nationalists. Ii is the great
est aid ever rendered to the Home Rule
cause. 1t will enable Parnell to secure
the services in Parliament Of many an
able poor Irish gentleman now debarred
by the lack Of means from accepting a
seat, and will place the whole Irish
delegation under more obligation and
greater allegiance to the League than it
has ever been.
Parnell will next week hold his
first convention for the selection Of
Home-Rule candidates. lie requires
sixty new men, in addition to the pre-
sent member who are seeking re-
election. No man will be accepted as |
candidate unless he has performed active |
work in the Nationalist cause and

A WASHINGTON special to the
New York Sun of Thursday last
says: "Nliss Clevcland's return to
resume her place as mistress of the
White House is not likely for some
time, even if she returns at all.
Her views regarding the use of
wines and liquors are said not to be
the Presidents views. While she
did not seriously object to wine at
official dinners, sue stood for strict
temperance on all other occasions.
This, it is understood, was the un.
Outstanding between Miss Cleve.
land and her brother on her coming
into the White House. To it she
infiexibly adheres, aud Iher depar-
lures from it are said to be the e a
sous for her taking a long Through,
which may become permanent.
Miss Cleveland was said to have
lett Washington to make purchases
in New York, leaving the inference
that she would return at not dis.
tant day. The inference is believed
10 be misleading, as she has gone
10 her former residence, at Holland
Patent, III OBeida county. AT the
White House Mrs. Lamont is re.
,ognized aud spoken of as the mis-.
lress of the establishment. Al
the public have been In
ormed from the White House that
Vben Miss Cleveland returns the
will resume their hotel
Odings, the time of their going is
indefinite, for the rea-
ons already given"

A FATAL DUEL.

A desperate duel occurred al
Rolling Fork IN Sbarkey county.
last Saturday morning between Mr..
w. X. McLaurin, of the firm o.
McLaurin & McLauriu, of Brandon,
and Mr.. S. Il. Shelton, Chancery
Clerk of Sharkey county, in which
Shelton was instantly killed. The
difficulty grew out of a political
teud of two years ago and contin-
ually waxed warmer until Friday,
when notes passed between the
parties which resulted in their
meeting Saturday morning on the
railroad track at Rolling Fork with
double barreled shot guns, with no
one immediately present but the
principals. TIE report of u gun
was heard, and Shelton was seen
to fall by "a party in the distance.
McLaurin met the city marshal as
he was returning and told him he
had shot Shelton and gave himself
up. Shelton was found dead, with
his gun lying cooked beside him.
Fifteen buckshot had penetrated
his body in the region of the heart.
Both were young men, natives
of Brandon, and about the age of
% years. Shelton was a son of
Judge VIM. Shelton, of Brandon,
and a rising young man.
McLaurin waived q preliminary
examination and was released on
bail of $4,000. lie is a brother of
Hon. A, j. McLaurin, of Brandon.

WATER VALLEY INDUSTRY.

1t will be of interest to our read
ers to know something of the va.
ried industrial pursuits aud mate.
rial wealth of Water Valley, much
of which has been hitherto almost
unknown. This quiet, and com.
paratively small town rivals any
place in the State in this line, with
industrial and manufacturing en-
terprises now in many parts of the
South. 1t was there that the first
pillow mandatory was established
before they had railroad facilities,
and it was there that the first loco
motive was built in Mississippi, ia
1878, since when over forty new
locomotives have been built for this
and other States. Now foundries
and machine shops make iron and
steel plows, hollow.ware, cotton
gins, plantation and mill machine
~ and steam engines. Her cotton
mills convert into yarn twelve hun
dred bales of cotton annually. Her
railroad shops supply and furnish
hundreds of miles of track with 10.
comOtives and cars, and repairs to
machinery; and all this without
the immigration of capitalists or
money from abroad.
MOI is she behind in the matter
of intellectual culture, having rs
efficient a system of public schools
as can be found in the State for
both races, and a school of some
three hundred scholars in prosper
GUS organization.
Many members of the Press As
ISOLATION were surprised at this ar
ray of facts showing what has and
what is being accomplished by the
wonderful energy aud enterprise Of
the citizens of Water Valley.

WALKER vs.. LOWRY.

The Hon. Joel p. Walker has
addressed a letter to Gov. Lowry
inviting him to meet him OIL the
hustings before the meeting of the
State Democratic Convention, tc
discuss the political issues of the
day, but the Governor declines the
Invitation. He says it is not "cus-
tom" and he sees no reason for a
departure. That the people know
his views, and it is, therefore, not
necessary for him to talk more.
Capt. Walker, as he states in his
letter, desires the canvass and be-
lieves the people also desires it, for
the reason that, under existing
circumstances a nomination will be
equivalent TO an election, and that
loyalty to the party Will preclude
any opposition or discussion be-
tween Democrats, and that, there
fore, now is the accepted time. If
this is not a reason for a departure
from custom the canvass question
must cease SO long as the Demo
cratic party predominates in the
States, aud the. people must hence
forth vote bliudly for men whose
views are not publicly expressed.
AS Tor the views of the Governor
being known, we have serious
doubts. 1t appears to US that his
Excellency has taken great pains
to prevent their being know u.
Many of the people Of the State are
in doubt and would he glad to hear
him. We are somewhat surprised
that he should treat with such pro-
found respect, and refuse to coun-
tenance a violation of the lea NON
ScriptG, that great unwritten law of
custom. He refuses even to recog.
nize an emergency that would
justify a change of any law written
or unwritten, common or statute,
although, in our opinion, he is mis-.
taken about this particular custom
OF ~canvassing before convention.
But c%Onceding that his views are
correct in that, leaving out the
question of emergency, we would
commend his views as to the sacred
ness of the law of custom to the
serious consideration of voters,
who will remember that he is ask
ing for re election contrary to one
Of those sacred rules. We want to
lear the Governor, and believe the
PEOPLE do, too. He should give an
In account OF his stewardship.

No instruction was given to the dele.
CATION of Jackson county for Lowry,

Jealous Lowry organs that the county is
not committed. The dispatch which is
such a delicious morsel to them was only
a reporters opinion
Being one Of what you choose to dub
an cover Jealous Lowry organ" we would
like to put you n ''pint blank' question,
to which we would request a "pint blank'
answer, viz: Are the delegates chosen at
yOur late comfy convention to represent
Jackson county in the State Convention
Lowry men, or are they notP A simple
answer, yes or no, will put a quietus to
that claim by the "Over-zealous" sup
porters of Gov. Lowry. We have never
Lowry but we claimed on what we thought
good authority That the delegates were
for him. If We are mistaken we will
cheerfully make correction. How do
you delegates stand i-BrdRdOa Republican.
Your "claim' is already so deli
cate aud |emaciated that we should
appear cruel to go to the trouble
to put a "quietus" to such a weak
ling. We have no objection in the
world 10 your opinion, for it is sim
ply narrowed down to "we think
the Jackson county delegation is
Tor Lowry because a reporter
thought So" 1t You and your col
leagues had started out with that
there would never have been an
but in nearly every Lowry
paper WAS the little paragraph
"Jackson county has elected Il solid
delegation" But, Bro.
you have come TO a more
sensible conclusion and we are not
disposed TO disturb you. Think as
sou please for the present.
