The State Board of Control, more
than month ago. ordered the dis
charge of a guard 10y the penitentiary
lcSSecs on account of his brutal treat
ment of convicts. The lesseeS treat
ed this order of the Board of Control
with the same disregard and defiance
which they have all laws that have
been passed with reference to them.
Attorney General Miller seems to
have gotten an idea in his head,
which has long since grown obsolete
in this State, that laws are enacted to
he enforced. not only with reference
to the poor and humble, but also with
reference to the rich and exalted, and
has sued out an injunction before the
Supreme Court to compel the peniten-
tiary lessees, alias the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad Company, to comply
with the order OF the Board of Con
troll, and also to observe its contract
i'll other respects. If the lesSees had
been compelled to comply with the
laws heretofore, the State would have
been some $4,000 better off, besides
being spared the disgrace of the re-
voting brutalitieS which have been
practiced upon convicts. The lcssees
were not satisfied with escaping tho
enforcement of the law requiring then
to make a new bond at certain time
but set their henchmen to work tC
prejudice the public against the ole
bondsmen because they refused tC
assume an obligation from which
they had been released by an act ot
the legislature, and from which the
Supreme Court had adjudged then
entirely free. -Tupelo Joarnal.

We will Use this paper for the further
ance of every good thing calculated
to help woman, and we will make it a
weapon in our christian warfare not

for the driving away of evil and wrong.
1t will therefore be for lis both Il
helper and defender. We rely upon
the Press to give us IL kind, brotherly
"scnd off" and want to exchange
with the State papers. Mrs. Kells
will give to the public and press all
necessary information about the pa

The Greenville Review, in discuss
ing the resolution of Stems Creek
Alliance declining to support Lowry
in the future, speaks as though it con-

Lowry as fools. Call them fools if
you wish, but these fools are the large
and silent majority which controls
the issues at the ballot box, and will
be heard from. Call them fools be-
cause they have the manhood and

tive. Call them fools because their

The Two States reports that $1,000
has been paid out at Osyka to date,
on truck checks, and that the Il. r..
has carried 100000 TBS. of truck and
vegetable freights. This estimate
gives one cent per ID net for all truck
sold, which is about SO cents per bush
ell for peas and beans, and 60 cents
per bushel for potatoes. Very little
money has been realized, as the price
of seeds and railroad tariff were large
consumers of the profits. If our peo-
pie could save their seed at home and
the railroads could carry a little
cheaper the business might be re-
munerative, but the crops that ex-
haust all their profits in paying for
seed, boxes and fertilizers do not
commend themselves largely to the
intelligent farmer.

house which she occupied to obtain a
large insurance which she had placed

not less than one year and not more
than twenty years in the penitentiary.

was imprisoned on the charge of at

she alleged, she supposed TO be good.

New Orleans has adopted the sal

New Orleans has adopted the same
rates of charges on cotton, which
amounts to tritliug increase, as that
which prevailed last season. These
charges are the same as those which
prevailed when cotton sold for almost
double what it does now, and there is
no reasonable doubt, that they caused
the building of congresses and the
direct shipment of cotton, from all
other cities in the Cotton States. Still
if New Orleans can stand it, we have
no right to complain.-Commereiol

when the third drunk law went in
to effect in Atlanta on Feb. 7, last, il
became necessary for the clerk of the
Recorders Court to keep a complete
list of every person convicted OF
drunkenness. This list is referred to
by the recorder whenever a person is
arraigned on the charge of drunken
ness, in order to see if there had been
any prior convictions against the same
person. The list is made out alpha
betieally, the first dated Feb. 7, and
now the list, after run of five
months, contains 500 names, or an
average of about 120 each month, or
