DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

u
| In another part Of the COMMERCIAL
| HERALD win be found the call Of tht
Chairman Of the County Democratic
Executive Committee, for the various
Ward and District Clubs to meet on
the 18th Saturday and select dele
gates to the County Convention. Al
that time the clubs will also express
their opinion as to the adyisability Of
not making nominations for county
Offices.
We trust that all good Democrats
will attend the club meetings, and do
all in their power to sustain the hands
Of the party, that has done SO much
for the city and county. There
should be but one voice and that should
be for thorough organization and
discipline and strong, clean capable
nominations for every Office from the
highest to the lowest. 1t looks to US
cowardly in the extreme to surrender
without an effort. There are those
who argue that we should surrender,
for no nominations. means surrender
to those who propose to buy their
places, and thus further disgrace the
grand old county, and cor
rupt her citizens. If the Dem
ocratic party does not protect the
people from their methods, our young
men win grow up in the belief that
bold, firm, honest manhood is at a dis
count. Indeed it is already boldly
proclaimed that Catalinian practices
are entirely successful in our city, and
that the Democratic partyis powerless
to overcome them. If that is so, it is
yet true that 1t is powerful enough to
make heroic struggle for the right.
If it makes an effort Of that kind, it
will be more respectable and powerful
even in defeat, than it is possible for
1t to be, if it surrenders, to be the CON
temptible play-thing Of negro bosses
and their hirelings.
But the party cannot be defeated if
1t is true to itself. There is no man on
the green earth who can beat the Demo-
cratic party of Warren county, if it
asserts and maintains its rights from
now until after the election. We feel
confident that it will do IT.; and we
are fully impressed with the hope that
long before the Convention meets in
the Fall to nominate county officers,
will be conceded by all
parties to he equivalent to an election.

ONE Of the delegates selected to rep
resent Sunhower county in the State
Convention informed us, that the
County Convention instructed for Cap
tain Stone, of Washington county, for
Auditor. He claims that our informa-
tion from another source to the effect
that delegates were to vote FIRST for
Stone and then for Sykes and so on to
.the end, is not correct. The delegates

TO MISS LADY PERCY.
THE qvoIuNrEER souTHRoSs,

Oh. not to us the wreathes OF bays,
Oh, not to us the vict0r's crown:
To thee, the homage and the praise,
To thee the glory and ren0wn.
Thou vert the star whose vigil bright
Illumed our souls with doubt forlofn;
Thou vert the star that banished night
And ushered in the glorious morn.
Had 1t not been for yonr bright eyes
That on our efforts kindly beamed
we never would have won the prize
And olden name and fame redeemed.
Twas not the banners silken fold
That gave US courage all the while;
Nor was 1t for the victors gold,
But it was for thy witching smile.
Oh, who could dare to find defeat
And own within man $ high heart,
When one 50 fair, when one so sweet,
Did bid each do the soldiers part?
We. won, and thou deseryest the praise,
The glory Of the victor's crown;
And every heart its homage pays;
With thee, we could but win renown.

Ereenyiile Times.
I II was our pleasure upon last Sun
I day night to attend the lecture of DR..
etheim, at the Synagogue. His
sgument was a refutation of the idea
Of the inherent evil of money. And
that It is on the contrary the potent
power, the chief enginery for the
spread Of civilization, the promotion Of
progress, the diffusion Of charities.
And that thus it is only the false use
of money which deserves the stigma
of "the root Of all evil"
His theme was managed with true
logical ability; and be demonstrated
therefrom the duty, the divine iniunc-
tion of charity.
The day succeeding his lecture DR..
G. called upon the Jewish members Of
the community for their response to
] his appeal for the Jewish Orphan
Asylum. He collected the generous
sum Of s1,100, the. most liberal con
tribution Of all the communities to
which he has yet applied.

OF all the famous sports a country
can enjoy, that which attracts the most
visitors from far and near, that which
creates the most excitement, and that
which produces the greatest amount
Of speculation, is the day Of horse
racing; a day in which a general reaction
Of tle mind, muscle and body seems to
tc take place. 1t brings together every
class of citizens irrespective Of color
or previous condition Of servitude.
The sports of the Lake St. Joseph
Jockey Club Of late years have been
abandoned and almost forgotten; the
race track had grown up In weeds, the
building had been torn down, the
fencing had been carried of and every
thing was in dilapidated state, with
out any prospects of ever being put in
repair or use again, but good crops,
good feelings, and in anticipation Of
future prosperity the old spirit has been
revived. The Fourth Of July was the
day selected by the Jockey Club to have
a little amusement on the race course.
consequently big turnout was the
result. Many Of the citizens of the
parish and adjoining parishes were in
attendance, including a fair repre-
sentation Of the lady folks, whose
presence always lends enchantment to
the scene. The fore part Of the day
was just such weather as was needed
to make the occasion pleasant one;
the heated rays of old Sol having been
diminished by scattering clouds, added
greatly to the comfort of both man
and beast. The track had been given
the proper attention and was in good
condition. The races were six in num-
Der, and of an exciting nature, great
odds being given and taken in the
pools OF every race. During the after
noon, and before the closing of the
days exercises, some Of the ladies
extended an invitation to partake Of
cold lunch, which had been prepared
and spread on the grounds. Many
were they who enjoyed the feast, and
only regretted on leaving the table
that such things did not happen oftner.
An incident occurred near the race
course which strange to say nothing
very serious resulted. A wagon and
mules in passing over the Styx bridge
when about half way became fright
ened and commenced backing; the
bridge having no railing, the wagon
soon went over taking the nudes with
it; the distance to the water and mud
below was about eighteen feet. The
driver who saw the danger Jumped
out on the bridge in time to save him
self, while the wagon and mules went
down together, landing below, compar-
atively with little or no injury. The
attention of the parish authorities has
been called to the condition Of the
bridge several times and If something
Is not dene soon it might cause a seri-
GUS accident. Races again in two
weeks. Pool SELLER.

The New silver Dollar.
Natchez Democrat.

Natchez Democrat.
1t is not everybody who is aware
that new discovery has been made
about the silver dollar. The man who
designed it was named Morgan. He
hit upon bright project to make him
self immortal when he was about the
job, and he carried it out very success
fully. On each side Of the coin he
worked in his initial an" and he did
1t cleverly, too. Anybody with a silver
dollar and pair Of sharp eyes can see
for himself, although in one case most
people will need a magnifying glass.
One side the initial is at the base of
the neck Of the Goddess of Liberty,
and on the other it is in the left hand
side Of the knot that ties together the
olive branches. The latter is plain
with a good magnifying glass, but is
hardly discernible with the naked eye.
1t is said that the law does not allow
such a thing.

Coahoma County Democratic Con-
vention--Mr. Cutrer's Anti-Levee
Views Pronounced Against.
Greenville Times.
The Convention of the Democratic
party Of Coahoma met June 25th, pur-
.suant to call. By the Banner we Judge
that it was thoroughly representa-
tive body, the proceedings Of which
were of unusual interest TO the citi-
zens Of that county, whose local is
sues appear to have been settled to the
best interests of the community and
the satisfaction of all present. A del
egation Of good reliable men were Sc
lected to represent the county in the
State Convention uninstructed, though
the Banner says that they will vote
for Stone for Auditor.
The action of chief general impor-
tance was the adoption Of the follow
ing resolution:
"On motion Of w. Fl. Hartley reso-
luton was adopted fully endorsing and
sustaining Colonel w. H. Stovall and
Captain ]. F. Townsend in all their
official acts as our representatives on
the Board of Leyee Commissioners for
the Mississippi Delta"
We can but regard this resolution
as direct announcement by the con-
vention of favor Of a law imposing
cotton tax, this being the position
officially of the commissioners of that
county. AS we regard a cotton tax as
absolutely essential to an effective
leyee system, we earnestly hope that
we are not mistaken in our construc-
tlon of the action of the convention,
