The refusal last Saturday by vote
of u to 10 to allow DR.. Il. r. Apple
white and Mr.. A. Lewenthal seat on
the floor of the Convention as duly
authorized proxies of regularly elect
ed delegates, was discOurtesy to
those gentlemen as uncalled for as it
was ungraceful. We had hoped when
the primary election was over, that
all fractional spirit would be buried
and forgotten, that the minority can
didates and their friends would be
treated magnanimOusly and all mem
bers of the Democratic party regard
ed as common brotherhood, but the
spirit displayed by the majority of
the convention was just the opposite.
DIR. Applewhite was chairman of the
old Executive Committee and Mr..
Lewenthal It's secretary and both had
done move unselfish and disinterested
service for the Democratic party for
the last two years than any men in it.
Therefore to be thus treated by a con-
vention, some of whose members
have been chiefly noted as disorga-
mixers and opponents of the party, and
whose party fealty was not one moon
old, was decidedly tough and is re-
garded by their friends, if not bv the
gentlemen themselves, as anything
else but the proper thing.

them. The very defeats recently met
in four Northern States ere but the
earnest exhibitions of q purer Christian

exhibited. We were defeated, but
millions voted with us who in their
determined opposition to evil, did not
recognize the fact that the entire puri-

Gov. Lowry sent requisition to
New Orleans for Sullivan, but before
it could be served, the big bully got
wind of it and skipped out for the
North. At Nashville he was arrested
on a telegram from the Governor to
the chief of police, but Tennessee
Judge, with indecent haste, released
him on a writ of habeas corpus before
a requisition could reach Nashville,
and he made good his escape. The
Governor, however, says he will have
him yet if he remains in the United
States.

In the Circuit Court at Jackson,
last week, the State of Mississippi
obtained Judgment against Hamilton,
Allen Il Co., former lessees of the
penitentiary, for $40, 400. The suit
was for $4,000, and we fail to see
why judgm ent was not given for the
full amount.-Magnolia Gazette.
That's easy, Brother Huff. The
Judgment just obtained was for the
lease money of 1885. The suit for the
amount of 500, APO due for 1886, with
interest added, is still pending.

Concerning Our jackson Spec

Concerning our JACKSON spec
JACKSON. July 12-The Times
Democrat correspondent interviewed
Gov. Lowry and Hon. L. Barksdale
relative to communication from
jackson, of date the 10th instant, to
the BRoOKHAYEN LEADER, headed
"a Conspiracy to Defeat the choice of
the people for Governor; Political
Wire-pullers Scheming to Defeat both
Stone and Cameron and Run Il dark
horse" wherein it is stated that a
pow-wow was held at the Edwards
House to discuss how to beat Stone
and Cameron, and that either Banks
dale or Lowry was to be the dark
horse. Both gentlemen stated with
emphasis. at is lie out of whole
cloth; that no such meeting was held;
that said publication was the first and
only intimation they had received of
it, and after diligent inquiry no such
meeting can be traced to have Occurr-
ed or been contemplated. In word,
it is an unmitgated fabrication. =
Times Democrat Special.
In connection with the above, we
wish to say that the LEADERS Jack
son correspondent, who was Gamer
on man, is gentleman of unques-
toned veracity and integrity, and
would not have sent us the communi-
cation he did, had he not had good
grounds for believing it true. He said
that the dark horse considered at the
meeting referred to was either Banks
dale or Lowry, but in the same para
graph added, Though all that was
said and done cannot be definitely
asccrtained, | can say it was to dis
cuss how to beat Stone and Cam
eron."
The day the publication was made
in the LEADER a neutrality-suspicious.,
referring to the subject, stated to lis
that he was at the Edwards House Oh
the night of the alleged meeting, and
though he was not Il member of it
(bcing a Cameron MANI he was conf
dent it was held, and for the purpose
charged, though he differed from our
jackson correspondent in that he be-
licved it was held in the interest OF
Judge Calhoon; so that there is this
additional proof that our correspond
ent's report was not "an unmitigated
fabrication," as charged in the tbs
special. Moreover, it is now an open
secret that all sorts of schemes and
combinations were proposed and dis
cussed the last few days and hours
before the convention to defeat Stone
and Cameron and bring in Barks,,ale
CalhOon or some other dark horse
and that the effort was only finally
abandoned ut the last moment wher
it was discovered that majority o
the delegates were resolved on hav,
ing one or the other of the two avow
ed candidates.
And still again, it is well to remem
Der that any man or set of men who
would engage in clark horse
scheme of the kind referred to, would
be the very last to admit it, and es
pecially on the eve of grea
and decisive political contest.

sober, steady, successful and firm

What hallowed name is this! 1t
strikes every chord of the human
heart with its angelic fingers. 1t has
an influence which is stronger than
death. Home! how often we hear people
speak of the home of their childhood.
What a blessing it is when with care
and burdened with sorrow, to have a
home to which we can go; and there
in the midst of friends we love so
dearly we can feel the benefits of
home.
Ask the little child what is home?
You will find that to it, it is the world,
for it knows no other. Home is the
best place know of, for in my home
| find my best friends and they are
my papa and mamma. Yes! home is a
place of rest. We may find pleasure
elsewhere, but it is not the joy of
home. "Be it ever so humble, there's
no place like home"
Here the song "IGome, Sweet
Home" was sung.
There is another home, and it is in
Heaven, that everlasting home with
God. Through the rich grace of our
Lord may we all reach it.

Some OF the farmers OF this valley.

have come to the conclusion that
there is As much money in raising
Strawberries as there is in anything.
The plants require some attention
and the work of picking the berry is
tedious, but the results both as to
yield and remuneration warrants all
the care. labor and work, and more
too. 1t is difficult to get at the exact
number OF Strawberries raised i'm this
valley this year, but it is safe to say
that ~, 900 quarts were raised and
disposed OF readily at fifteen and
twenty cents per quart, the latter
price being paid for over hall the crop.
Of these the bulk were shipped to

than the supply. Mr.. Hawkins raised
about 5000 quarts. +. Morse 200
