CITY OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF GRAVE OFFENCES
AND INDICTED.
Considerable excitement has been created in
Norfolk by the publication OF report of the
grand jury on the official actions of several city
ofncers. An ordinance is in force which gives
to lnformers one-half of all fines collected by
the magistrates. 1t is alleged in the report that
an agreement has existed between Magistrates
Charles III. Todd and Elisha r. Johnson where

getting % per cent each of all fines imposed. In
speaking OF the magistrates mentioned the re.

permitting liquor to be sold by his barkeepers TO
minors. We nave also indicted said Charles H.
lodd, one OF the justices of the peace OF the
city, for failing TO pay into court fines collected
by him. We have indicted f.. r. johnson of
performing the ceremony of marriage without
having the authority of court to perform such
ceremony. The examination of witnesses sum-
moned before US dlsclOses the fact that the said

assured that she could see the child occasionally
and consented: The child was taken away and
since then all trace of it is lost. The mother is
nearly beside herself with grief at what she has
done: Miss Creegan refuses to say anything
about the transaction. The child's birth was
regularly returned, but no adoption papers

Now You See Ii.

The whisky dealers have formed a
protective union in this State and
say they intend to give three blows
in return for one given them by
Prohibitionists. And so it turns
out as said before in this column
that it is the whisky men combined
against the people. As far as blows
are concerned the whisky dealers
have had the people down on their
backs all these years and have al
most knocked the life out of us.
Now when we have partially come
to ourselves and made feeble eff
fort to regain our feet they are ready
to strike US "three blows to keep
us down and tho punish us for haY-
ing the temerity to try TO get off our
backs. At the same time and with
great show Of injured innocence,
they declare that we struck them
first. Such impudence and brass is
in perfect keeping with the business
The people should not allow them
selves hoodwinked into supporting
these few whisky sellers. The whis-
ky seller is working for the money
there is in it for him and for no 9th
er purpose. He will take your last
dime from you and then turn you
you away naked cold and empty.
He wanted your money, your voted
him into business, he got your mon
ey and who is to blame. Be not
deceived.-N. G. Steele, in Corinth

PrOhibitionfsts Take Warning.

Experience is dear school and
our county can speak to all other
counties in the State that have not
held their primary elections from
sad experience. We had two candi-
dates running before the primary for
Representative, and neither one
would come down. We have in this
county a chronic candidate that has
been running for twenty years who
claims to be Prohibitionist, and re-
ceived the vote OF Prohibitionists at
his own box and few at other
boxes. At Enterprise and Shubuta
the lines were closely drawn and it
was a test vote. At Shubuta the
vote stands: Moore, 108; McGee, s !;
Collins, %. At Enterprise: McGee,
123; Moore, IA; Collins, 81. The
trouble was, each place was trying to
elect different men, believing they
could beat Collins, and the conse-
quence was, Moore was defeated by
81 and McGee by 120. Had there
been only one Prohibition candidate,
he would have been nominated by
2243 majority. w. II. ?.

Prohibition in Louisiana.

The first regular State Convention
Of the friends Of Prohibition in
Louisiana was held in Shreveport on
the nineteenth instant. The attend
ance was not very large; but an or
ganization was perfected and pol
icy outlined that will speedily devel-
Ope an irresistible sentiment
throughout the State. DIR. s. NJ.
Angel, OF New Orleans, presided,
and j. Y. Gilmore, of New Iberia
acted as Secretary.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported a declaration Of principles as
that VII, in the main, command the
support of all unprejudiced Chris
ton citizens. We produce this most
important resolution.
Res07ued, That this move IS non
partisan and non-sectarion in char
acter, and seeks only TO enlist the ac-
tive cooperation Of all patriotic and
law-ablding citizens, without regard
10 race or party, hoping thereby TO
secure the hear;y support Of all TEN
perance, benevolent and church OF
ganizatIons in the legal suppression
Of the liquor traffic.
Thai is the true policy. Distang-
led from parry politics we are sure
to win. Then all parties, creeds and
colors can unite in the suppression
Ola great evil and for the triumph of
moral ieform.
A State Executive Committee was
composed of member
from each Congressional District and
