Governor Lowry has at last be-
come partially aroused from the pla-
cidity which characterized Ames when
he declared "the blood of 25 or sc
negroes would be good for the Re-
publican party" and has directed the
sheriffs of Noxubee and Kemper cOun-
ties to call out sufficient force to put
down the lawlessness in their territory
and if necessary to call upon him fol
additional aid.
A dispatch says the Governor in.
sists that the county officials and peace
officers shall do their duty, and says
that he is ready to give them all the
support conferred upon him by the
Constitution and laws of the State.
Ye gods how strange and how re.
assuring It feels to hear such talk as
this, and how long, o Lord, how long
has Mississippi felt the need of it
The Governor taking such a decided
stand for law and justice, and this
without being especially called upon
for help by the county officials! 1t il
enough to cause the average citizen
to pinch himself to realize that he il
not dreaming.
And how hard it is to keep from
rejecting that, had he given some
such assurance as this when the Car
rollton Massacre and other shameful
crimes which have hitherto blackened
our annals under his administration,
the State might have been spared the
disgrace of this last act of vandalism
and murder.
1t isn't often we find anything to
commend in Dear Bob, but we dc
most heartily endorse his action in this
case; and if he would give an earnest
of his sincerity by paying visit to
the scene of these lawless deeds, and
stimulate the officials by his personal
presence and counsel, our praises OF
him would be much louder and
longer.

Letter Writing.

As IL appears that there is some Gu
riosity in the minds of some people
i'm regard to letter writing, and as
see the name of Henry Smith used by
Mrs. Lotion in her statement before
the court, in the case of the State vs..
w. E. Rails, J. j. GOss, Henry Sheri-
dan, ct nj, charged with the killed
of +. III. Varpado, in which Mrs. Joe
Lotion states that she received let
ter from Henry Smith warning her to
leave the county, will state that am
the Henry Smith she has reference to.
MY name is Henry c. Smith, or IL.
C. Smith, but am commonly called
Henry Smith. 1 do hereby denOunce
said statement as base falsehOod,
made use of for purpose which Is ut
terly groundless, asI have never writ
ten the scratch of pen to her. 1 re-
ceived letter from w. E. Rails, Nov.
g, 1888, warning me of great trouble
in regard to the killing of James Sauls
and three letters that Mrs. Joe Lotion
had received from Joe Lotion stating
Mrs. Lotion, Mrs. James Sauls and
the three letters would all appear be-
fore the grand jury, and if SO, there
would be a true bill found against me
and others. But il l would furnish
him money, he, w. E. Rails, would
stop the matter where it was, and
such he thought best.
wrote him in answer to above, that
l had no money to pay out to stop
anything, except that if Rails knew
of any one that could be hired to as
sassinate me. would pay him not to
do it if Rails would inform me of the
fact.
Ihave w. E. Rails letters, which
any one can see. also wrote letter
to Mr.. McGraw, at Holmesville, wish
ing to secure his services to capture
Joe Lotion, who attempted to assassi-
nate me, which appears to be causing
some curiosity.

of bandits that are pitching at me that

candidate for Congress in this district,
and political bankrupt, has failed in
business at Brandon and made an as
Segment to bis creditors. If Henry
had flung away ambition and stayed at
home and looked after his jewelry
business last fall, instead of monkey
ing around trying to get elected to an
office for which he was in no wise
qualified, this last bad luck would pro-
badly not have overtaken him.

MOB LAW.
A DIsGRACEFUL CONDITION or Az
FAIRS EXISTING IN KEMPER
COUNTY.

The recent race troubles in Kemper
county which grew out of the killing
of three white men by dozen ne
groes in ambush, has been sliced up
on by the lawless white element in
that county for perpetrating the most
outrageous crimes upon innocent and
unoffending parties. The following
letter from a citizen Of KempeI
to the New Mississippian reveals a
state of affairs that is a disgrace tC
our civilization
SHUoULAK, MISS, Jan. I6, 1889.
Editor New Mississippiau.l
DEAR SIR 81 sent you telegram
this morning giving short account OF
what is going on in the northern part
of Kemper and the southern part OF
Noxubee counties. had previously
written the Governor on the same
subject. / am not sensationalist
but when mob composed of the mos
depraved and irresponsible parties in
our community can rob and plundel
defenseless women and children and
drive them from their homes, carry.
ing on their barbarous work for three
weeks without a check or hinderance
it is time some one took the initiative
and appealed to those who are high
in authority and have been entrusted
by law with the preservation of oul
lives and property.
Crimes have been committed that
the outside world has not dreamed of
Brutes, feeling no restraint of law OIL
honor, have endeavored to see how
deep they could.steep themselves in
infamy.
AS l telegraphed you to-day, ovel
forty families (by actual county have
been driven from their homes. Many
of these families, by years of industry
and economy, have paid for theil
land, and had stock and supplies
sufficient to make crops. These peo-
pie have committed no crime, unless,
indeed, it is q crime to be born black
No charge has ever been made against
them. Three families, who sent to me
yesterday for protection, have been
notified to leave within five days
One woman has q child eleven days
old ;and anOthera child three week old
Their limit expire tomorrow. They
are now rushing through the rain and
mud, hauling corn, meat and bedding
and household furniture to save them
from the vandals. 1t is time that the
press of the State should be aroused
am perhaps not competent to judge.
but it does seem to me that the Gov
ernor Of the State ought to place
these people back on their farms and
protect them there in the enjoy
ment of the fruits of their labor land
comfort of their homes, if it should
take the militia of the State to do SO
Make what use you please of this
letter. If it will serve, even in a
slight degree, to draw attention of the
lovers of law and order and fair play
to the vandalism now going on at ouI
very doors, it will have served good
purpose. Respectfully,
S. ID. CHAMBERLAIN.

The Courts Brought into Con-
tempt by the PardOning


Drs. Hunter and Harrington and
Robt. Smythe, three of JacksOn's
druggists, were indicted for selling
Hostetter's Bitters, which is a viola
ton of the Local Option Law. Smythe
was one of the grand jurors dismissed
by Judge Chrisman at the opening of
the court.
In the case of DR.. JnO. F. Hunter
and DR.. Geo. X. Harrington, cOmpOs-
ing the drug firm of Hunter & Har-
rngtOn, and r. II. Smythe and H. H.
Hughes, composing the drug firm of
Smythe e. Hughes, convicted in the
Kinds county circuit court of selling
Hostetter's Bitters in violation of the
Local Option Law, Judge Chrisman
sentenced each one of the gentlemen
to Jail for sixty days and imposed fines
of $50 in each case. In consideration
of the high character of the gentlemen
charged, and their well-knOwn char
acters as law-abiding and upright cit
liens, and in view of their statements
that these bitters were openly kept
upon their shelves and sold as other
medicines, petitions were at once put
in circulation asking the governor to
pardon them as to the imprisonment.
This petition was signed by the en-
tire grand jury and by upwards of
four hundred citizens, the list embrace
ing nearly if not every prominent cit
izen to whom it was presented,
Acting upon what appeared to be
the universal wish of the people, and
having In view the heavy penalty in
the shape of the fine and costs impos-
ed in the case, the governor granted
pardon as to the imprisonment

jury Reform.

At the recent meeting of the State
Bar Association in jackson, Judge
Chrisman Ia said to have read very
able paper on the subject, Needed Re-
forms in eurJury System, "and reso-
luton was adopted by the Association
requesting the committee on Juris-
prudence to formulate and present to
the next Legislature, plan for reform
in the selection of grand and petit
juries.
We do not know what reeommenda-
tons were made by Judge Chrisman
in the paper referred to, but it seems
to us there are tleast two amendments
that might be made TO our jury sys-
TEN that would prove of inestimable
value. ny To 80 amend the law as to
place it beyond the power Of yenal
or careless Boards of Supervisors to
stock juries in the interest Of law
breakers; and ~ by providing an
educational qualification and that not
less than three men should have the
power to hang jury and cause mis-
trial.
An eminent lawyer Of this State
once said that no commonwealth in
the world had code Of laws superior
to those of Mississippi, but that it
was extremely difficult to enforce
them.
There is no doubt that the censure
implied in the latter clause of the
above sentepce has but too much
foundation, and in fact so many proofs
of this meet our eyes every day that
few will be hardy enough to deny the
statement.
1t is now made the duty Of Boards
of Supervisors under section 1851 of
the Code to select the persons from
whom the juries are drawn and if
these officers would do their duty the
jurors will be both competent and re-
putable persons. The Code says:
"The Board of Supervisors of each
county, at it's first meeting in each
year, or at any meeting thereafter, if
not done at the first, shall select and
make a list of persons to serve as
petit jurors in the Circuit Court Of
the county for the ensuing year, and
in making such list they shall use as a
guide the list of the names of persons
qualified to serve on juries made by
the assessor, but shall not be confined
to it, if it is known not to be correct,
and shall select for said list the names
of persons, who are regarded as of
good intelligence, sound judgment
and fair character, and shall take
them as nearly as conveniently may
be in equal numbers from each super
visor's district of the county if suit
able persons reside therein"
1t would seem that the above statute
is as nearly perfect as anything of
human origin can be, but it is fire.
quently neglected or disregarded by
Boards of Supervisors and the bene-
fits that would flow from its abser-
vance are thus lost to the common
wealth.
Another thought is worthy of con-
sideratiOn in this connection. Law
breakers, always excepting thieves, are
not generally regarded by the COM
munity with that degree of disfavor
which they merit, and hence the law
is not only weakened but its efficiency
practically nullified. Good public
opinion can force even bad jury to
do it's duty, but a vicious public Opin-
ion can do much more to weaken the
resolution of good jury and cause
its members to acquit the guilty.
