L"UMBERMEgg MEETING.

The Alabama Yellow Pine Lum.
Der Association met at Birmingham
on the 18th uIt. The attendance
was very good. The delegates from
this State we're rs follows: Hin
ston, represeHtingCamp & Hiustou,
Peotona, John Hamper, Of Hatties-
burg; Il. @. Vaughan, Of Moss
Point.
The meeting was called for the
purpose Of hearing the report OF
delegates who we're appointed TO
attend the convention Of the South
ern Manufacturers Yellow Pine
Lumber Association, which met at
TeXarkana, Ark, on June 10th, and
arrange for harmonious and united
action between the two Organiza-
tons as to prices and grades and
other matters Of mutual interest.
The report of the delegates shows
that their mission was successful in
every respect, and that at the Tex
arkaBa meeting many features Of
general interest 10 the lumber men
Of the South we're discussed and a
better understanding between the
two associations arrived at. The
work done and the report submitted
ere both very much commended.
Secretary BiVings was delegated
to visit every mill in Georgia and,
If necessary, in Alabama and ex-
plain to the proprietOrs the objects
Of the lumber association and use
every means to induce them TO be
come members.
The present pricesof lumber we're
discussed at considerable length,
and vas decided not to establish a
new scale Of prices until the next
meeting. IL vas developed that,
notwithstanding the dan and de-
pressed season just drawing to a
close, the association had been en-
abled by good management to pre-
vent any reduction in the figures
which held at the beginning Of the
year. The membership allows an
increase and the affairs Of the asso-
citation are, generally speaking, in
q fourishing and prospective con
ditiOB, with q bright outlook for the
fature.

should viudicate himself-clear the

A Voice from Jones.

EIlisriile Eagle.
Col. 7 Il. StoekdaIe is now before
you, declared by the Chairman to
be the nominee of the Democratic
party. 1t was the understanding
all through the canvass that it
would take II votes TO nominate,
but as soon as Sfockdale got a
majority, the Chair Ia Stockdale
mani erred out. "a nomination y
What was that majority, aud how
did be get i'll Well, that majority
was not one whole vote, but the
1888 part of a vote, and it Judge
Van Eaton had not been swindied
out of several proxies, StOekdale
never would have got even that
fractional majority.
A motion was made to take an-
other ballot, bat the Chair ruled
that the motion vas ont OF order ;
an appeal vas made from that de-
e%isiOn, and the Chair refused to put
the appeal to the meeting.
This county was voted solid for
StockdaIe, notwithstanding there
was a proxy there with instructions
from the delegate giving it, to vote
it for Judge Van Eaton. This
county has over 1000 votes, aud OF
that number not 10 per cent. are
StOckdale men. With a very little
trouble We ean prove the truth of
this statement.
We opposed StOckdale during the
canvass, but we said nothing
against him that We did not believe
10 be true, aud nothing has occurred
yet 10 change our mind.

A False ASSERTION.

, Some disappointed sore. headeS
maZwump, in the DEMOCRAF-STAR
signing himself sSuap Beaas,
makes some very grave as well a
false charges against the support
ersof Stockdaie. He says, I've have
heard iE sail and believe truthfully
too that a candidate was recently
nominated to serve this district III
Congress BY votes bought on the
ground This certainly is a bold
and broad assertion to make with
0ur One ~scintilla OF evidence to back
IE up. He says that Delegates sold
their votes. Now, "SHap Beans
as you seem TO know So much about
this thing why can you not enlight-
en- an ignorant public and tell us
who the delegates were that sold
their votes and I'd whom they sold.
We are surprised that a newspaper
like the DEMOCRATS STAR would
permit such vile stuff to enter it's
columns. As far as the Democrats
OF the district ever needing alvice
from such a mum skull az .aSnap
Beans,T good Lord deliver Us. Bat
TO see their names in print some
people would viIify their own kin
dretI.
If he has sufficient evidence TO
base such a charge on why don't
this self-cnnceited Jacknaper give
the names of the delegates he has
reference to. IT he does not give
his true name and expose the fraud
that he seems to know so much
about We will think he is a fraud
himselE-HattiesbHrg Democrat.
Well, you are a nice defender of
the cause you espouse! How do
you know 'Suap Beans has no
evidence to back up what he saysf
Hoa make assertions as broad as
the universe, but you are liable to
wake up some beautiful morning to
a full realization OF the fact that
you are neither omnicient, omni.
present or allwise. Next thing you
will be saying there wasn't a LIE
told on the StOckdale side during
the campaign, aud LING for votes
as bad as buy ing or stealing
them. As for sSnap Beans be is
4 responsible man, and was present
1t the late Mississippi City Conven-
ION, aud while we are not prepared
% sag whether be has been correct
y informed or not, we have no
loubt he received the information
Is be gives it, and that he believes
{ to be true. Hence, it Is perfectly
legitimate hat 1t be published,
specially when the charge is not
made against those Of the ilk of
J9sar's wife, by a big majority.
Beans is able to take care
f himself.

JUDGE VAN EATON.-Tbe yicks

JUDGE VAN EAToN.-The Vicks
burg Herald says:
The gentleman whose name heads
this article, has so gracefully &C.
cepted the decision Of his party,
that he is noble in defeat. After a
long and earnest canvass of the
district in which bis friends were
arrayed against those Of Colonel
StOokdale he vas defeated for a
denomination TO congress by a frac-
ton of vote. de accepted his de-
feat promptly, maufully and good
humOredly. He has no enemies to
punish and no sOrrbeads to nurse.
II his fellow citizens admired him
before, they admire him more now,
and bis praise is spoken freely all
owe the State. Any man can stand
up and face victory, bat there are
very few who know how to accept
defeat as cOurageously as Judge
Van Eaton has done. II be elects
10 remain in politics, be has a fu
ture. Mark that.
