AN EPISODE OF THE BATTLE OF
GETTYSBURG. Midway between the
contending lines says the New York
Star, was solitary tree that in peace
full times had given shade TO the har-
vest hands at their incoming. EARLY
In the morning some confederate.
sharp-shooters had crawled out to this
tree, and were able to reckon their
game at every shot. So destructive
In fact, did their shots become, that
the widest imprecations were shouted
at them by the Federals, and threats
were made that il taken they would
get no quarter. All at once there
came hull in the firing from that
part of the line. A Confederate was
seen TO rise up from the base Of the
tree and to advance toward the Fed
erals with bis hand raised. Shots
were fred al him, but there was GU
riosity at his approach. and the word
was, "wait till we see what he wants
to do" Some thought he had a mind
to desert, and encouraged him with
shouts Of come over Johnny, we
wont frel" But if the Confederate
spoke, what he said could not be
heard in the din Of the cannonading
and musketry. Forward still he came,
and all eyes were strained TO see what
1t could be that he meant to do. II
might be merely trick to deceive.
Suddenly the Confederate dropped
upon the grass. The next instant q
thrill of enthusiasm passed through
the Federals, murmurs of admiration
were heard, and then cheer as hear
ty as If given in a charge, burst from
their throats; and the cheer repeated,
increasing in volume, proved that un-
selfish actions are possible, and that
there are noble hearts to appreciate
and respond.
The Confederate sharp.shooter, who
had been doing his beat to destroy his
antagonists, had observed in front Of
him wounded Federal, lying help
lessly on the ground between the two
lines, and begging in his agonising
thirst for drink and, atthe almost
certain risk Of losing his own life, he
had gone forward to give comfort
to the distressed enemy. This it was
that caused the Federal cheer, and
for few minutes stopped the work
Of death in that nsighborhood. When
the sharpshooter had performed his
act of mercy he fastened back to the
tree; and with the warning cry,
"Down, Yanks, we're going to fire T.
the little unprecedented truce vas
ended, and was soon forgotten N the
grand event that followed almost i'm
Fnediately after.
The next day-the Fourth Of July
Ia heap Of Confederates was found
under that tree. Whether the hero
Of the day before was one Of the
CHASTITY dead, will never be known.

A Fasting Girl.

In Cincinnati sixteen-year .old girl
recently died after fast Of fifty-two
days. She had been attacked by
something like paralysis which render
ed it impossible for her to take nour-
ishment. The human system cannot
thrive without good food and good
ability to digest it. Weak and i'm
paired digestion is rectifed by Browns
Iron Bitters--bstter than any other
tonic in the world. Mr.. J. Z. Free

Tho pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth
The impulse to wordless prayer, ~
The dreams Of love and truth--7sSs
The longing after something lost
The spirits yearning cry,

The pea for mercy, softly breathed,
When Justice threatene high,

The pressure Of a kiss,
And oil the trilles sweet and frail
That make up life's first bliss,

That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want Of sympathy

The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand

And angels voices say to thee---

Keep II Out OF Politics.

There is good deal of talk just now
in this county, and more particular
ly about Hazlehurst, upon the ques-
ton ofprohibition, some fearing that
it will be made an issue in the mp.
preaching campaign. 1t would be
very unfortunate. for the county
should the question be injected into
politics, but we express a hope that
this will not be done. A few fanat-
les on either side may attempt it, but
the reasoning men, whose fealty to
the democratic party cannot be qucs-
toned, will not consent for the par.
ty to be placed in an attitude which
would invite defeat. @
No one doubts for moment that
such a man as DR.. Rowan.is n dem.
ocrat above every other considera.
ton, and that he Is sincere and
honest when he say s, as he did in
his speech; last Thursday night,
that tl,eS prohibitionists do not
want to iclfry the question into
politics. The dsng&si s that the
council OF the wiser heads may not
be heeded
We really sec no occasion for ag.
itating the question at all. Let us
90 into s,tllS convention with the
purpose bt,Rcmiuating men for the
legislature who have the honesty
and capacity to deal with the
questioniin such q way as q major.

we ought not to nomipase q man

ton whether he is q man who will
fairly and !, truly' represent the
wishes Oh the majority as expressed
either by petition or ut tho ballot

Our County Convention.

We have been frequently asked as
to the time when our county con-
vention would be held. We recent
" had a conversation with the chair
man of the executive committee, Mr..
Ellis, on the subject, and he is OF
the opinion that it should not, and
probably will not, be held before Au-
gust lst. II seems to US this is early
enough, rs there is no necessity for
long canvass. From now until
then is a busy time with farmers, and
a political canvass would interfere
with their operations. In the mean.
time all who want to announce thom-
selves as candidates are requested
to come forward, give us their names
make deposit for the same and &c

EDITOR SIGNAL -
Tho first gun has been double-
shotted and fired by "U. No"
from the lines Of democracy and
is echoed and re-echoed all over
Copiah, and her yeomanry arc
arousing themselves from the leth-
argy into which they have fallen
and propose to again assert their
rights as freeman and Dust flom
their party lines and platform any
platform and principle OF prohi-
jittion that will tend to sever the
grand old democratic party.
"U. No" touches the keynote
of democracy. Are we to quiet
ly submit to extreme fanati-
clsm in this canvass and let the
prohibition party capture our
county convention and then die
tate to us such laws us they see
proper to pass? Surely democ-
racy can find talent aud ability
enough in its ranks to champion
its cause against any prohibition
plank being inserted in its plat
form. We have abundance of
good democratic timber, and only
await the bugle call to rally to its
support. Keep the ball rolling.
We will leave no stone unturned,
and assure you We will be OH

Is He Not Mistaken!

A communication appeared in
the SIGNAL last week from gu. No."
in which he stated "the prohibi.
ton law in this county was enact.
ell by the legislature upon tue pre-
tence that majority ofthe citizens
had expressed a desire to have u
law to that effect enacte5, when In
reality the people were never given
an opportunity to express their
Wishes gu. No" is mistaken~in
the premises. 1t was our under.
standing that q majority of the vo.
tiers had signed a petition to have
the law enacted, and y delegation
from the county went to Jackson
to present it in person. Even If
the petition had not q majority,
the law should receive the sanction
of all, as a committee from the an.
ti.prohibitionists had conference
with the prohibition committee,
and it was agreed and compact
entered into that no opposition
would be made to the passage OF
the law if framed so rs to make 1t
take effect from the first of May,
1886. We believe all parties will
stand by this compact, as long as
it is the wish of the majority for 1t
to remain in force. Whenever sen.
timent changes and q majority OF
the people want the law repealed
they havea remedy.
The SIGNAL stands as a sentinel on
the tower, ever watching over. the
interests of the democratic party,
which it regards as paramount to
all other issues, and it apprchends
great danger if the whisky ques.
ton is allowed to enter into poll
tics. In our county the question
of whisky is settled, for the present
at least, and while all are entitled
to their opin ions, it would l'e wise
to let il he an issue within itself.
When the democratic banner is un.
furled We want to soc all our citi.
cons marching under it to victory.

A Change Of Policy.


The policy inaughraccd by the
administration. while it was not
openly rebelled against gave cause
for mutterings and complaint, and
In o few Instances individuals Of
high standing in the party and ma.
ton, notably Senators Eustis and
Beck, hesitated not to raise their
voice against such n departure from
the line of policy which was thought
necessary for u democratic admin.
istration. We beheld the govern
ment in the hands of democratic
president and cabinet while the
subordinate positions were held by
republicans, some of whom held
over and others beng appointed
since Mr.. Cleveland grasped the
reins of government. An appli'
cant for a position was surprised to
learn il was no recommendation for
him to have been faithful worker
in the democratic ranks. The
question that presented itself was
"has not the man you wish to dis.
place made a good oflicer!'Of course
the democratic applicant was cha.
grined and even Disguised. He
thought q change of administra.
ton meant something. He had
worked har,l and faithfully Tor the
owe, throw OF the republican party;
he could not conceive that demo-
cratic triumph meant only the dis.
placement of President Arthur and
his cabinet; he believed, and still
believes, il the democratic party liz
responsible for the conduct Of af
fairs the inner machinery should
be in the hands of friends and SYM
pathizers, and not controlled by
republican partisans who take eve
nv occasion to insult Mr.. Cleveland
and the party, as was done when
Mr.. Logan was re elected U. s. Sen.
ator.
In Que instance Mr.. blackburn,
of Kentucky, was appointed to a
foreign mission, and his name ut.
forwards recalled when it was
learned that when q young man
serving in the Confederate army he
wrots an indiscreet letter, other
appointments made where the up.
poin,ees were known to be republi'
cans, and even partisan republicans.
This policy was the cause OF dis
content and the feeling was general
among the leaders that it was a
mistake.
There is now unmistakahle evil
dence that the original scheme is
being considerably modified. 1t
has become evident to the Presi.
dent that such q policy will not do
that it is unwise to so outside OF
the party to find supporters. He
finds that he can not run the gov
eminent aud hold the party toSeth-
er OH mere sentiment. and since the
appointment OF Pearson IN New
York and KernOchan in Louisiana
he has kept strictly within the
party lines IN making his nolnina'
tions, and inquiries into the party
strength and standing OF mp.
plicants. Secretaries Manning,
Whitney and Lamar have never
favored the policy pursued up to
this time. They are party men,
and consider the party on trial, aud
since the party is to stand or fall by
the verdict they are in faver of
putting mono but democrats OH
guard.

Is He Responsiblei


In attempting to show that Low.
rvs administration has been nm
extravagant one, we are told that
he is not responsible for it, that
the Legislature made tho appro,
priations and 1t was not tho Gov.
ernor's duty to say whether they
were wise, economic or necessary;
that when q majority of the lcgisla'
ture, which represented the dele.
gated wisdom Of the people, saw
proper to draw upon the treasury
the Governor was overstepping his
authority in interposing On objec.
ton. This is poor reasoning.
We all know how that thing works.
Every representative wants to do
something for his locality. One
county over here wants q college,
one over there wants a wing of the
asylum, one wants o branch of the
penitentiary, and another some.
thing else. In order to get their
bills through, each reprepresenta'
tive will agree to vote for all the
others, and in tho aggregate we
have q heavy appropriation. 1t
was Just to meet such cases as this
that the Governor is intrusted with
the veto power. He stands as a
watch dog over the treasury. Ike
has access to the books at all times,
and is presumed to know the c9n'
lition of our finances, and when
the legislature INDUCES in reckless
appropriations he should have I ne
backbone to interpose his veto, a nd
thus save the State from 10 heavy
debt, which would have to be met
by an increase of taxation, which
the country Just now is not able to
bear. The people want q red,'c'
ton of taxes, but we are afraid they
won't get i: if wo have a Governor
the next four years who manages
to spend in ono year S236,9oo.ti
more than is received.
The attempt to place the blame on
the legislature will not do. Gov.
ernor Lowry does not draw.a war.
rant upon the treasury, but he
can save the State from bankrupt.
cy by exercising his right of veto.
