We favor a strict execution of the
law in relation to the sale of liquor
and it IS best that people should
understand what the law il. Our
Supreme Court last week construed
two doubtful points which we pub
fish:
By Arnold, c. j.: W. A. Monaghan
VS.. The State Convicted in the Cir
cult Court of selling whisky to a minor.
Reversed and remanded. In this case
the proof shows hat the minor pur-
chasing the whisky was acting as the
agent of an adult, and SO stated when
the purchase vas made, and paid for
the same with the money of the party
for whom the purchase was made.
The minor did not Il g or drink any Of
the whisky, but delivered same to the
party for whom purchased. The court
below decided that this was a sale to
the minor in the meaning of the law.
This court decides that the law for.
bidding the sale to minors cannot be
construed to prohibit the mere delivery
to a minor, he acting in the capacity
as agent for an adult.
By Campbell, j.: L. L. Pearson VS..
The State-Convicte ted in Second Dis.
trict of Pamela Circnit Court. Reversed
and remauded. The person repre-.
scented a house in Memphis and took
orders for whisky and delivered same
in Memphis to a common carrier to be
delivered TO purchaser in Pamela
county, where the Mississippi local
option law is in force. The court
says: ""The sale of the whisky was
complete at Memphis upon delivery to
the express company, and tho fact that
the payment for it was received there
did not make the appellant guilty of
selling in thai county. The point is,
where was delivery made; if the seller
was to deliver the whisky in Pamela
county before any right accrued to him
to claim payment for it, the sale was
not complete until delivery at the place
of its destination; but if the delivery
was in Memphis to the carrier, as the
agent of the buyer, the sale was then
complete, aud the law of Mississippi
was not violated. A delivery to the
carrier in the usual course of trade is
deemed in Law primd Jacis a delivery to
he c~ensignee.

HAY PRESS CONTEST.

The business of shipping hay from
Mississippi has reached such proper
tons that a press which will make
the best and most compact bale is as
necessary as is a moving machine.
In order to decide which Is really the
best and most economical press for
general use, the Director Of the State
Experiment Station has invited all
the hay press manufacturers in the
State to meet at the Agricultural
College on June 18th and 10Th for a
competitive contest of their several
presses. This is an important move
as, for the first time, the hay growers
Of the State will be able to see the
different presses at work, side by
side, and can so make comparisons
which will enable them to select the
one best suited to their needs.
Prof. Tracy, the Director, has
promised to send us a full report of
the contest, which we hope to pub
fish for the benefit of such of our
readers as are unable to be present.

SLIM BARRTERS.


Speaking OF the narrowness Of the
dividing line between the ''protee-
tom Democrats aud the Republican
party the N. o., States well says:
"The to-called Democrats who advo-
cate protection are much more allied to
Republicanism than they are to prin-
cinles Of the party Of which they form
an insignificant fraction. Surprising
that the field Of practical politics. as it
is laid out at the present day, were re-
presented by ten points, in at least
Of those points the protectionist-
Democrats would be found in line with
the 6. o. p; in the remaining three ouly
would they stand with the party with
which they Lominally affiliate them
selves.
Why do they not openly and man
fully give their allegiance to the party
with whose political and economic
creed their tenets, their sympathies and
their teachings are in almost complete
unison, it is not very easy to under
stand; but it is certain that, rang. d
alongside Of the Republicans, their
position would be both more intelIi-
gible and more logical than by tho
utmost stretch of charity it can be con-
strued to be, as things now stand"
1t is one of the political certainties
OF the future that a tariff for reve-
nue. on the one hand, and n tariff for
protection on the other, will be the
lines upon which the voters of all
sections viii ragne themselves.
Gradually but surely the alignment
is now being made. individuals
North and South are placing them
selves upon it, and the administra-
ton but recognizes a patent fact
when it seeks to make smooth the
pathway Of Southern protectionists
into the Republican party. May
Mr.. Harrisons efforts be so success
full that the last hide bounced protec-
ZIONIST IN the country will go to the
party to which Of right he belongs.

We take the following from the
Aledo, (Ill, } Record in reference to
the Reverend gentleman who has
lately come among us:
"During the past week the Rev. h,
X. Brouse received a letter from the
Bishop of the Diocese OF Mississippi,
rendering him the charge of a pros
porous parish in that Diocese. The
charge of a parish being more con.
genial to his taste than the practice Of
medicine, and the climate more shifted
to his impaired health, he has decided
to accept it, and expects to start for his
new field in the course of a week or ten
days. Last fall the doctor returned to
Aledo with his children, after an
absence OF twelve years, proposing to
practice medicine. He got into a fair
practice, which was constantly increas-
ing, and his prospects were encourag
ing. In November Bishop Burgess
asked him to take charge OF the
Episcopal church in Aledo, Rather
than see the church closed, aud the
congregation deprived Of services, he
accepted the charge, and has since,
when the weather permitted, given the
congregation one service each Sunday,
without pay or hope Of pay-literally
fulfilling the Saviour's words, ''To the
poor the gospel is preached. While
the members of the congregation win
be deprived of services by his removal.
and will lose a rector they have learned
to love, their prayers for his success in
his new field will ascend to the throne
of grace, at the close Of this lental
season, from purified and grateful
hearts. Tie service next Sunday viii
probably be Dr.. Brouse's list in Aledo."

n HER ouEs1a.

In last weeks REPUBLICAN some
account was given Of the meeting Of
the Press Association and the recep-
ton Of its invited guests by the city
Of Greenville.
7 he banquet at the Opera House
on the evening of the second day
was elegant and enjoyable in every
respect The tables which filed the
room were crowded hut there was no
confusion or disorder, which suhi-
GENTLY attests the excellence Of the
management.
Hon. w. G.. Yerger presided with
dignity and introduced the speakers
with happy remarks. Judge Wynn,
of GreenvIlle, spoke TO "our guests
and his speech was a good one.
Governor Lowry spoke to the toast
Mississippi and made the speech
of the occasion. We have seldom if
ever heard a more compact and able
speech, eloquent alike in language
and delivery. Senator George,
Lieut.. Gov. Stands and Col. Pitkin,
of Louisiana, were to have spoken
but were prevented from attending.
Col. Stovall made a short and appro-
pirate address on "The Delta"
Hon. T. r. Stockdale was given the
subject of 1.-THE Mississippi River .
He made some good points but did
not pretend to treat his subject. He
spoke three or four times as long as
he had a right to speak and as it was
getting late, started his audience on
the run Had his remarks been
eloquent and apropos the time con-
sumed by the Congressman from
this district would have been con-
sidered unreasonable. We should
not mention it here had we not been
informed that the gentleman upon
occasion is given to the trick of
tai ing out both his time and vel
come and has done the same thing
on previous similar occasions. II
the members Of the press, especially
from this district, who were bored
and somewht mortified, would enter
proper protest a repetition Of this
"unpleasantness" is not necessarily
inevitable.
Judge Van Eaton-our own Van,
our Strawberry Blond-spoke to the
last and fairest toast = "The
Ladiesl" This subject being nearly
as old as Adam, original treatment
was not expected but the Judge
handled the ladies in a tender, felicit.
Gus and eloquent manner which was
highly appreciated by his cultivated
audience, and thus ended a banquet
that would have reflected credit upor
any people and upon any city.
An excursion through the magniti-
cent country atout Lake Washington
was given next Gay, and subse-
quently a ball, which was graced by
many fair ladies and gallSnt men.
For fear we should omit it, we will
speak here of the orderly character
of all the proceedings and the good
order preserved everywhere in the
city so far as our observation
extended. The people Of the Delta
have a partially for ''red liquor
which is conceded but there was 8
conspicuous absence of all excuses
and the genus hoodlum evidently
does not make Greenville his abiding
place.

lue RueSIS WHOm Iue people "
Greenville entertained last week will
always have pleasant membranes
of the hospitality with which they
were met and the many kindnesses
of which they were the recipients.
"The Queen City Of the Delta
henceiOrth will be something more
than a name to editors in the north
thern, eastern and southern por-
tons of the State.
They saw a vigorous and beauti-
fully located city, well built and
spreading over a large area, with
extensive business houses and
tasteful residences and the best
manufacturing industries of their
kind to be found anywhere in the
State: Withall, a prosperous and
cultured and energetic population,
which has the will and intelligence to
appreciate the situation and profit by
its advantages.
1t is to be regretted that time
occupied by business meetings and
Astounding hospitalities did not per-
init the visitors to inspect the oil
mills, congresses, saw mills, planning
mills, ice factory and brick man
uiactory, among the best to be found
anywhere.
Some Of the members Of the press
in a body visited the graded schools
and were most agreeably entertained.
Nothing seen in Greenville more
impressed the visitors than the care
and intelligence shown in educating
the 1000 children who are accomo-
dated in the schools, one white, one
colored. The buildings are well
located and ample, and so far as a
%cursory examination could deter
