"Pa, can you tell me what party
Dr. Watts and Capt. Hoskins belong
to?" asked Il young hopeful of his
paternal ancestor the other night as
the old gentleman returned from IA

all prominent Prohibition workers,
were present and invited to seats in
the Conference After free exchange
of views and discussion of the situa-

the sense of the Prohibition Press
represented:
Believing. as we do, that the Pro-

of the State should never he allowed
to concentrate and cTystulize around
either local option or license, high or
low: Therefore,
ResoIred, That we hereby declare
ourselves in full accord with the
platform adopted by the last State
Prohibition Convention, and unite
with that body in demanding the
passage 10y the next Legislature of a
/ Prohibition statute covering the entire
State, and we pledge ourselves to adj
vocate such measure in our papers.
ResOlred, That we earnestly recon-
mend to all of our brethren of the
Press, who are friendly to the cause
of Prohibition, and opposed to the
indefinite perpetuation of the liquor
curse, to unite with us i'll pushing such
a measure to final success.
ResOlred further, That all papers i'll
Mississippi, friendly to the cause, he
requested to publish these resolu-
tons.
In few weeks the LEADER will

What Are They Roaring Aboutp

What Are They Roaring About?
The charge of Watts, Ioskins aud
Others that the nominees Uf the
Democratic party are not Democrats,
cIats, comes with poor grace from
that quarter, and recalls Benson's an
ecdote of the old hard-shcll preacher.
Going into the pulpit, lie opened his
bible, adjusted his spectacles care
fully, and with becoming solemnity,
said:
My brethren. sisterln and congrega-
ton, take my text to-day from First
Peter, the 9Th chapter aud 18th verse
'Your adversary the devil, as roar
ing lion, walketh about seeking whom
he may devour.'
"My brethren, sisterin and congre-
CATION. we will divide the text into
three parts:
"Firstly-Who the Devil he is.
'Secondly-Where the Devil he is
going.
Aud thirdly-What the Devil he is
roarin' abOnt."
That is it. If Hart, McNair, Allen
Smith and others are good Republi-
cans aud Independents, what are
Watts, IIoskins and other Republic
cans and disorganizers roaring about
If what they claim were true, they
should support the ticket aud leave
all the kicking to the Simon-pur,

sheriff McNair and the Leader.

sheriff McNair and the Leader
eve must elect all the nominees"
sbonts the LEADER. Yet, two years
AGO our venerable neighbOr was CIV
inc one of these same nominees hts
in the way of showing that he was
short in his accounts, etc. w nat
strange things do hapPen.-Brookhd-
rem NeTs.
We will say for the information OF
the News that Sheriff McNair, who Is
the nominee referred to, made a clear
showing of all his accounts after the
LEADERS, criticisms, and the punch
ing up he got then has made him Il
hotter official ever since while the
News supported him at that time,
knowing that the records showed ev-
erything to he true that we charged.
We never did charge Sheriff McNair
with dishonesty in office, because we
did not believe him gniity of it. II
the News believes his Office is not
straight now, let it say so, and let it
prove what it charges by the record
as we did.
As to our supporting him now, the
above facts and the reasons set forth
in our article headed, "The True Is
sue" furnish all-sufficient ground fo'
that, though we could give other good
reasons if necessary.

"The Only Safety"

Referring to the race problem in his
speech at the Macon Fair last week,
Senator Walthall said: "There is no
new remedy that meets our case and
there is no present safety for us but
in the absolute and unbrOken unity of
the body of our white population.
When the day comes when politi
clans shall cease to work this danger
Gus machinery for party uses-when
both the great political parties shall
realize that great race issue presents
no party question, but is Il gigantic
social problem which can never be
solved until it is lifted high above the
plane of mere partisala warfare, then
some thing broader and more perman-
cmt may be evolved and accepted; but
now our only safety is in our unity,
and the questions of the day which
simply serve to divert us and delude
us should be discarded and discour-
aged for some future OCCASION"
Here in Lincoln county where Gun
ming demagogues are now engaged in
trying to unite the negroes and divide
the white people for their own selfish
purposes, these words from one of
Mississippi'S greatest leaders should
have peculiar weight.

That is rather slcazy evasion of
responsibility on the part of the News
to say now that its defense of Hos
kins last week was certain queries
propounded by a friend when tie
article appeared as straight editorial
matter, without mark or signature to
show that it was any thing else. How
ever, we are glad to be assured that
our neighhor is ~ dyedinthe-wool
Democrat" and hope it will hereafter
quit using its columns to boost Re-
puhlicans and independents and prove
its faith by its works.

Congressman John NJ. Allen says
when we look at the pension rolls
of the United States and see $4,000
Yankee pensioners drawing $50,
600 year, and about 100000 more
waiting to get on the rolls, with $780,
600 Union soldiers lying dead in the
national cemeteries, it is enough to
make the Rebel heart swell with pride
on account of the record they made
during the last war.

Gen. Chalmers started out as bolt
CT, then became an independent, and
now he is afull fledged Mississippi Re-
publican, despised and sunk so low in
degradation as to be almost beneath
contempt. Some men in this county
who are boilers and refuse to support
the nominees of their party, but pro-
TESS to be Democrats, should take
warning from his example.

have chosen a good man from their

ticed by reading your paper that
their present worthy commander is
comrade S. w. Hoffman, a man that

his worth as a soldier. He was ever
ready for duty, yea, more, was al
ways ready for "A fight. never had to
be urged to go, but was continually
urging others on to duty. Comrades,
it seems to me that you have chosen
a good commander, and the nameof
S. w. Hoffman at the head Of your

that your post will Eot falter, but az

your quartermaster, M. Hoffman.
He was a fighter. and was always
ready to say, come on boys, let us
give it to them. Comrade NJ. HoE-
man was captured a few days after
l was and we met at Atlanta, Ga.
where We only stopped a short time
when we were taken, together with
others to Richmond, and then we
were separated, Hoffman being ia
ken to Libby and / to Belle Isle
and there we were confined in those
Southern his for n long year.
Comrade III. has seen the elephant
with many others. In conclusion let
me ray, work and cooperate with
all your officers, and the good work
will 60 on and our good work will
go on and our grand order will grow
stronger. Comrades. let me say
to you that our little post way down
in Southeast Neb. is growing-slow
