The Interstate Farmers Assoc
eioffOn

This body was organized by the
Inter- State Convention of Farmers
which met in Atlanta, Ca, in Aug,
1887. 1t was o magnificent body of
broad-minded, patriotic, representa-
tive agriculturalists of the ten cotton
States. The association was born of
necessity. The peculiar and languish
ing condition of agriculture, especial
ly in the South, is matter of intense
interest and profound concern. To
reach a just conception of our environ
ments, and to devise the wisest meth
dds for relief, is the great and grand
object and purpose of the association.
In all departments of industrial enter
prise in the South, except i'll the great
field of agriculture, we witness and
feel the invigorating pulsatiOns OF
quickencd life and energy. There
are causes which have unbalanced the
industries of the country. They
must be readjusted so as to secure to
agriculture 1.-THE greatest of ally fair
showing in the race. To this end the
Inter State Farmers Association was
organized.
Its next meeting will be held IN the
city of Raleigh, n. c., on Tuesday,
2lst day of August next.
1t will be composed of delegates APP
pointed by the Vice-Presidents OF
their respective States-five delegates
and their alternates, from each con-
may come will be welcomed, but the
vote is limited by the constitution OF
the association to five for each con-
gressional district.
The Southern Passenger Associa-
ton has established a schedule of
summer excursion rates from all
points South, to various points in
North Carolina, which are good from
June LIST to Oct. 21st. Parties attend
ing the convention and desiring to
bring their families to our charming
summer resorts i'll our mountains or
on the seashore, will find these sEcur-
sion tickets convenient and cheap.
Special rates will be secured, and
furnished to those who may desire
simply to attend the convention and
return.
VICE-PRESIDENTS.
The Vice Presidents elected by the
Association for the various State,
are as follows: Alabama, r. f. Kolbs

A short article copied into last
weeks LEADER from the New Missis-
sippian, was misleading in that it as
sumed that the State Railroad Com
missioners are charged with the en-
forcement of the new statute requiring
railroad companies to provide sepa-
rate accommodation for white and
colOred passengers. We took it for
granted, without referring TO the law,
that the n. M. was cOrerct in its posi-
ton, but we have since examined the
law itself, and find that the response
bility for its enforcement is not i'm
posed upon the Railroad Commission
ers, but that it is left to be enforced
as other ordinary penal statutes. This
much for the information of our read
ers and in justice to the members OF
the Railroad Commissioners, whom
we have no reason to doubt are try
ing faithfully to discharge every duty
their position imposes; but the fact still
remains that the railroads are grossly
ignoring the law referred to and
shOuld be indicted and dealt with by
The regular executors of our penal
statutes.

Official Notice.

Notice is hereby given to the different
County Alliances, and to all persons
who may be interested or concerned.
that the next annual meeting of the
Mississippi State Alliance will con-
vene ut the city of Jackson on We'd
nesday, 22nd day of August.
In selecting Jackson as the place OF
meeting, the committee have been
Influenced solely by the following
reason: its central location, its rail
road facilities rendering it easily
reached by the delegates from the
different portions of the State, its no
tel accommodations, and the fact that
it would cost less in railroad fares
and mileage, the fact being obvious
that large per cent. of the delegates
are nearer to jackson than any other
point, at which it would be practicable
to hold our meeting.
The committee would respectfully
call the attention of the different
county alliances to the following sug-
gestions: in view of the fact that in the
hands of the State Trustees there is
but little money, the called meeting
of last February having exhausted
the first semiannual payment, and
further, that certain obligations
already incurred must be met, they,
therefore, recommend that in the
meeting to be held i'll August that the
representation be reduced to the low
est number compatible with the in
terest of the organization; say one
delegate from each county, or in no
instance to exceed two from county.
These delegate or delegates can be
instructed to cast the number of votes
to which each county would be en-
titled under full constitutional del
egation. This is not mandatory, but
the committee believe that the organ
izatiOn at this critical period demands
that it be seriously considered and
adopted.
The Executive Committee will meet
in Jackson on Monday, August Goth,
to examine the books of the Secre-
tary and Treasurer, in order to be
able to make full and comprehensive
report of our financial operations dur
ing the past year, to include receipts
from all officers, or any member of
the Alliance interested or concerned
in this examination, or in the report
to be based upon the investigation,
is requested to be present.

MARCHING ON.
An Exciting Prohibition ConteS,
In Missouri.

KANSAS CrTY, June 2S.-After ,h,
most exciting local option fight evar
known in Missouri the Prohibitionis,a
of Independence, the county seot &c
this county and the oldest town i,
Missouri, won great victory yest.r'
day, carrying the election by over 2oo
majority and ending the sale of limo
for four years. Women were ever
where at the polls, Mt the lunch stand,
and on the street corners, wearing silk
badges and with dry ballots in their
hands. Girls stood at the polls, nnd
at every voting place was banner
with the inscription, "Tenprr,nc.
Beaux or No Beaux at all"
Free dinners were served at tL..
polling places. Hundreds of childrnn
carried banners through the streets
and about the-voting precincts. Some
of these were inscribed "Sow wbis.
ky ballots and reap drunken bovs..
"YOung men, keep your record clean
}. b. Coughs" Rum, revenue and
rags" "Rum ruins the reasoning"
"Vote as you pray;" "For God and
home and native land"
The legend, 1--WE can't vote but wa
can suffer-" was carried by the women
in parade and occupied a prominent
place at each ward precinct. MANY
of the best people of the town were
interested in the contest and il was
no unfrequent sight to see young cills
with horse and phaetOn covered with
streamers bringing in young gentle.
men to vote for local option. In the
first ward, where there was a large
colored population, it was expected
there would be large "wet" majority
but both sides worked hard and the
"dry" gained great victory. 1t was
here the fight conferred and where the
women stood all day, even though the
weather was unpleasant. The Nor
mon church, which has over hun
dred voters, voted unanimously in ia
vor of prohibition. The Temperance
people had grand celebration at
night.

To the Baptists of Mississippi

1t is well known that a change in
the place of holding the next session
of the Mississippi Baptist State Con-
ventiOn has been suggested. Upon
being notified of the proposed change
and requested to take action thereon,

with the other officers of the COnven-
ton. After a full interchange of
views with the officers and quite a
number of the brethren, | now an
nOunce that the number of officers re-
quired by the constitution, do not ad-
wise change, and the place of meet
ing of the Convention will remain as
fixed at the last session. 1t will meet
with the church at jackson on Thurs
day before the fourth Lords day in
July.
may add that the church at Jack
son desire the Convention to meet

all who go, delegates and visitors,
men and women. They hope for a
great blessing from our meeting there,

ed. urge upon our churches the i'm
pOrtance of full attendance, and the
wisdom of sending our strongest and
best men there. Let us 60 up in the
spirit of the Master, and we shall all
be blessed.

Elk Lieut. Gov. Sims, who made
so excellent a reputation for himself
at the st. Louis National Convention,
is said to be looming up conspicuous

Mr.. Sims would make an excellent
Governor. He is man of great abil-

ty that is rare among politicians. He
has a splendid war record, aud a rec

The old reliable Memphis Appeal
very correctly says: at will be Re
numbered by the readers of The APP
peal that Governor Lowry treated a
delegation from the Farmers Alliance
of Mississippi with marked disrespect,
almost contempt, for which he was in
strong terms rebuked by the Alliance
of his own county of Rankin. 1t now
appears that the Alliance of that State
number $4,000 intelligent white men,
being within from $1,000 to 5000 of
the total of the vote east in 1880 and
1884 by the Democrats for President
and in 1881 for Governor. The Ali
ancc seems from these figures to be as
dangerous for Il politician to deal with
as giant powder"

Those Missouri young ladies who
inscribed on their banner, "Temper-

made of the right sort of metal. If
young ladies generally would adopt
that motto, there would be infinitely

Ir is fitting that the pioneer of low-prced
journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis of
the lowest unit Of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest The founding of The
DAILY News at lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation of
The DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, $4,000 copies day
with single exception the largest daily circula-
ton in America, and greater than the circula-
tions of all other Chicago aathes combiueA
The DAILY News has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ever, that the time has now come when acting
entirely within the limits of a wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression. 1t proposes henceforth TO divide .
as to its friends-and to multiply as to its circula-
ton To-day it reduces its price to one Cent-
and expects to double its circulation
And anticipating the questionngs of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the Mng can be
done. THE DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past as we'll as all that is rightly expected of
it in the future as a leader in progressive Anler-
can journalism-can be produced and sold for
one cent a day, and this by reason of those com
mon principles of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases THE DAILY News now
sells o0er a million papers 7oeeA shown by its
published sworn statements of circulation, and it
afford TO sell at a smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dailies, no one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation
