Of price it Will give an increased
amount Of valuable literature. and
great gain in timelinrss and freshness

The Aberdeen Examiner, which
somehow seems to be always the
special champion and sponsor for
the Sins" claims that the opponents
OF Gov. Lowry are paving the way
for his nomination for Governor a
third time, and seems TO think that
only those are opposing him now
who opposed him before the last
State Convention. II this be the
impression the Examiner is endeav.
oling to create, it is certainly wide
of the mark. Men who have stood
by Gov. Lowry through all his
campaigns are among those who
would now throw every influence
they could bring to bear in the way
OF his eveT again being called to
the chair of tue chief executive of
Mississippi. The facts brought out
before the last LegiS!ature-the
almost criminal eareleSsneSS and
extravaganza then eIpOSed-were
enough TO make many Of Governor
LOwry's former champions reluct.
antly acknowledge that a mistake
was made when he was elected
Governor q second time. There
are those who hold in the highest
esteem Robert Lowry as a man.;
but Robert Lowry as Governor they

A CORRESPONDENT of the Utica Comet
after paying j. Wad Horne, of Learned
many deserved compliments, says abe is
the biggest liar in the State" and then,
through fear, doubtless, asks the Comet
editor to shoulder all responsibility. We
all know that Wad Horne, some times
tells untruths, but in extenuation the
Gazette must be permitted to say that his
stories are told ia such an extrayagant
style as to leave no doubt, in the mind OF
the listener. There are two kinds Ofliars
in this world. The ~ one by prcvallca-
ton hopes to obtain reward. The (2)
other in the same way expects only to
amuse his friends and put himself on re-
cord as n jolly. rollicking fellow. Wad
Horne belongs to the latter class, and Isl

the wOrd.-RGymOnd Gazette.
Poor old dog Tray. How "evil
communication will corrupt good
morals" Wad was reared at Hands.
borO, Miss, and we knew him when
a youth. He was a good, truthful
boy, then, almost too good to steal
a watermelon, ever in "the last OF
pea time" Now, to think that, by
association, he has learned to lie is
a little too much. He had better
come back to the Coast aud reform.

Mr.. VAN EAToN,s LETTER.


Elsewhere we insert the letter o
Mr.. Van Eaton concerning hi
opposition to the Blair bill. On
exchanges have banded this lette.
quite freely, and some OF them have
been poking Mr.. Van Eaton rathel
severely, not only because hi
opposes the bill, but for his state
ment that, or the question of refer
ence, he voted his convictions
while the other Representatives and
Senators from Mississippi, who
really dislike the measure as much
as he "vOted the other way.n We
de not regard the letter as a strict.
ure HpOn the course OF the other
Congressman, for we doubt not
that Mr.. Van Eaton believes as we
do, that while they may not hearti.
~ approve the bill, they had what
they considered sufficient reasons
for voting as they did OIL the ques-
ton of reference. The bill proposes
an appropriation of about $4,000,
900 to be distributed to the States
within the next ten years upon the
basis of ~illiteracy. Of this sum it
is estimated that Mississippi will
receive within that time abOnt
100000 but the bill provides
that each State must add to this
fund, as mucb as she receives from
the general government. Thus in
order TO cen the tull %appropria-
tons to which she would be emit.
tied Mississippi would have to
raise yearly $3.50, 900 for ten years,
and this Mr.. Van Eaton thinks we
are not able to do and with this
view of the matter in connection
with his belief that it is a scheme
to deplete the treasury in the inter
est OF high tariff it seems that he is
not entirely without his reasons for
opposing the measure.
II the bill provides that after a
State has received Its share of the
appropriation upon the basis of
illlteracy the State authorities must
then make the distribution npon
the same basis, this would furnish
the best of all reasons why every
Congressman from Mississippi and
the South should oppose it. We pay
enough already to educate the non
taxpaying element, and the "basis
Of illiteracy" dodge would increase
our burdens without bestowing
any adequate benefits. State Led

The above refers to a letter from
Judge II. S. Van Eaton to the Sum
nit Sentinel, which We recently
published.

ly can do more than a new man ,

SOUTHERN PINE.-Gradually the
Southern pine is making it's way in
Il variety of special cases through.
ont the North and West. Owing
to Its strength, elasticity and endu.
lance it is increasingly coming into
favor III the form of heavy timbers
in great buildings. As an instance
of this there are now contracts be
ing filed by Norwood s. B%ulterield,
of this city. Their mills are near
Brookhaven, Miss, on the Illinois
Central railway, well down toward
the Louisiana State line. Yet tim

Struction of a gram elevator. The
bill now being filed for that pur,
pose amounts TO $50, 200 feet. The
stuff consists of sticks fourteen to
twenty eight feet long and I4x16
in diameter. 1t is to be used for
supports inside of the structure.
The same firm are contractors for
the mammoth warehouse, corner
Fifth avenue and Adams street /;
also one of 100000 leet for the l.
n. w. Sherman building. These
city bills require a large amount of
5x12, 10, IA and 2S sizes. yellow
pine timber is being put INTO these
heavy buildings because 1t is con
sidered the best for the purpose.
1t all comes from the Brookhaven
mills. These bills are mentioned
as mere incidents of the yellow
pine dimension trade IN the North.
The same firm is filing another bill
Of dimension, consisting of 1,5OO,-
900 feet, for Marshall Fields orders
of the same character, or is about
TO 10 so, besides receiving numer-
Gus Inquiries and making estimates
that will result in further business.
