Local Option Election, not a New
Thing IN Coplah.

Our attention has been called to
an act of the Legislature, approved
January 20, 1860, entitled, Gan Act
to prevent the sale of /.
liquors in Copiah county )"
claws 1860, chapter 1913, the lastsec-
ton of which provided for an cleo
ton in October Of that year at the
general election to determine
whether the law should be operative.
We are not informed of the result
of the election, if it was held.
Would it not be interesting read
ing if our Hazlehurst contemporary
would republish the vote, giving the
result at each precinct, 80 that by
contrast some idea of the growth OF
public sentiment on this question
may be seen. We would be spe-
cially interested in it, since one
third Of our county was then IN Co
piab.
OF course in drawing any conclu.
sion therefrom we must not be un-
mindful of the fact that in 1860
other serious public questions over
temperance ideas, and we
muat remember, too, that the right
to vote has since then been largely

Effects of Prohibition,

ness in o Prohibition town and
county, take pleasure in stating that
general business has been as good,
if not better, under the Prohibition
law, than before the law was en-
forced in the county, ard We are
certain that our trade has not been
driven off by the enforcement of the
law. Laborers, around the town,
who, under bar-room rule, spent
their money for whisky, we think
are more prompt in paying their ac-
counts, and more industrious and
reliable in every way

And the Lessee of the Peniten
tiary, whose sir name is Hamilton,
rose up very high, even almost out Of
his breeches. and said, "Oh, hill |!

And another Lessee of the Peni-
Tertiary, whose sir name is Hoskins,
did grid up his loins and go forth in
the county of Lincoln and lift up
his voice and make an exceeding
great smoke about sundry men and
things trying to hide the true reason
of his mighty wrath against the
Prohibition cranks, but the below of
the Penitentiary cannon was heard
10 the midst thereof and the people
began to marvel and say, $40 how
strange all this seemeth Is not
this the same Hosklns, too, who
hath the contract for working the
county convicts who hath fallen
into the clutches of the law while
drinking too freely of red eye p
And as the people thought on these
things they marveled not any more,
but rose mp as one man and went
out and said we'll vote dry.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The late Prohibition agitation in
Warren county has led TO the en-
forcement of the Sunday law in
Vicksburg.
Wonder if the Local Option cleo
tion in Copiah in 1860 didn't bring
on the terrible A years war which
followed. Ask the anti speakers.
Charley Russell was sent to the
Penltentiary from Lawrence county
for years for burglary. Hall and
Davenport, who burglarized Beals
store, were indicted, but their cases
continued.
Hon. Hubert o. Thompson, the
noted leader of the New York County
Democracy, was found dead in his
bed last Monday. He had been sick
for some time, but no apprehensions
were felt of a fatal termination of his
illness.
1t is a significant fact that one Of
the Pcnitentiary Lcssees is heading
the whiskyi,es OF Kinds county. and
the other running the whisky ma
chine in Lincoln. The saloons carry
the Peni,entiary bait" in their
pockets, you know.
DR.. Z. A. Rowan is doing valiant
and efficient work for the cause OF
Prohibition in this county, for
which our people will always hold
aim in grateful remembrance.
Whenever Rowan speaks the antics
are thinned out and weakened.
In Pike county only 10 white
men out of every 100 voted the wet
ticket. If the white men of Lincoln
10 that we'll the county will go dry
even if every colored man in it votes
for whisky,-something the best
colorcd men are in nowise likely to
do.

of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes, that he

That Kinds County expended
more money in criminal prosecution
during the year 1885, three-fourths
of which came directly or indirectly
from whisky, than it received from
whisky revenue by $3,986.60. That
is, whisky not only did not help the
public schools but actually made the
county poorer by $3,9S6 so.

+ Henry N. Copp, the land lawyer of
Washington, has Issued the eleventh
edition of his Settlers Guide. 1t is
an indispensable book for all who
are, or expect to be, interested in
the public land. Settlers will save
money by purchasing it, and all
who expect to take up land should
get posted on the several laws un-
der which land can be entered. A
chapter, illustrated with numerous
cuts, shows how to tell township,
section, and quarter section corners,
and explains the system Of surveys.
1t gives Commissioners Sparks or
ders and several late decisions and
instructions, and full information
about the homestead, presumption,
timber culture, desert land, and
other news. The price of the book
is only % cents.
1t will tell you who is entitled to
enter land; how continuous your
residence must be; what improve
ments YOU must make; what aft
davits you must swear to.

The attacks the Anti Prohibition
speakers in this county are making
upon the business men of Brook
haven are entirely unprovoked and
unwarranted. Moreover, it is en-
tirely aside from the question at
issue. and wholly at variance with
the opposition heretofore set up
against Prohibition by Capt. Hos
kins, the burden of whose song until
now has been that Prohibition would
ruin Brookhaven and break down
the trade Of her merchants. Consis-
tency, however. is one of the things
for which the antics have no regard.
