The Farmers Must Get There,

Our State Executive Committee
has called the State Convention to-
gether on the 10Th of July next. And
of course the primaries and county
conventions will have to be called for
Il much earlier date. right ia the
midst of the busiest time. No matter,
let's meet them; let the grass grow
two days, and rain or shine, let's 90
10 them and prove To tile world that
we are capable Of self government.
The committee are all good men and
no doubt thought they were doing for
the best i'll thus hurrying up the State
convention month OF six weeks car
lier than there was any use of. No
matter, thc thing is done now; We
won't cry over it, but the sensible de
termined man will resolve that come
what may he viii he on hand with his
sleeves rolled up high.
There is no other way to do it.
We must try to get good Governor
ana State officers, men rcapahle and
willing to execute the law and main
tain the good name of our State. We
want good legislature which can
rise above the ''youtickle-me and
Ill-Scratch-your head policy. Such
officers and Legislators we can get if
We will turn ont and try. Numbers
will tell; we have the numbers and
lets use them and prove to the world
that we have Cuisines with politics
and all other subjects affecting our
interest as citizens and tax payers

Major BarkSdaie.

The Memphis Az Saianche thus cpl
tomizes the public career of Hon. E..
Barksdalc:
lie is native of uennes-
see, and was born in Rutherford
county, whence he removed to Miss
issippi when youth; entered upon
journalism in his twenty first year,
and adopted it as 4 profession; in the
meantime has been engaged in farm
ing. He conducted the Official jour
nal of the State from 1854 to 1867, ,
and from 1876 to 1888; and was ii
member of the congress of the Con-
federate States during the existence
of that government. He served on
the platform Committee of the
National Democratic Conventions of
1860, '6S, ~, and 80; he was on the
Democratic Electoral ticket for the
State at large in 1876, and president
of the State Electoral College; and he
was Chairman of the Democratic State
Executive Committee from 1877 to
1878. He was elected to the Forty
Eighth Congress as Democrat, re-
ceiving 1924 votes against ,5,4l4
votes for James Hill, republican, ana
was reelected to the Forty Ninth
Congress, being defeated for the
Fiftieth by Gen. Hooker, the present
member.

On last Monday the Supreme Court,
III the case of l.. l.. Pearson vs.. the
State from Pamela county, rendered
an important decision touching the
liquor traffic in Prohibition counties.
The Court held that an agent taking
orders for liquors in a local option
county for firm located elsewhere
was guilty of no violation of law.
Pearson represented a Memphis whis-
ky house and took orders in Pamela
county, local option county. The
court says: "The sale OF the whisky
was complete at Memphis upon deliv-
cry to-the express company, and the
fact that order for it was taken in
Pamela county and payment for it re-
ceived there did not make the appel
liant guilty of selling in that county"
The lower court took the reverse
view.

Maj. Barksdale once resided in
Holmes county; three of the four pa
pers of that county are advocating his
nomination; yet at afull meeting of
the County Farmers Alliance of that
county held few days ago, another
gentleman was endorsed for Governor
by unanimous vote. This shows
that the newspapers of Holmes
county do not reflect the sentiments
of the farmers of that county; and
again that Maj. Barksdale is not the
choice of the farmers iOf that county.
If the farmers of his old county
with every influence possible, brou ght
TO bear to influence them for Barks-
dale, still refuse to be whipped in, it
really indicates that Barksdale is not
only not the choice of the people, but
that his strength has been over ,esfi-
mated.-Riptey Sentinel.

Mr.. Mack NJ. Evans, our county
man, who is announced to-day in the
Democrat Star as a candidate for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of this State, is
well and favorabiy known to us--in
fact, we have known him from his
boyhood, he having been born and
reared in the old county of Harrison,
just over the river. South Mississippi
should honor worthy native son
who has elevated himself to high
standard of manhood by his personal
efforts, by giving him her united sup
port in the coming State Democratic
Convention. Mr.. Evans is a man of
strong convictions, with courage to
maintain them and fearless in the dis
charge of every duty imposed upon
him.-PascdgOula Democrat Star.

A Neat Way to DO 1t.

head of sheep; he also has wife and

calls he gives his wife and each child
1 head of eattl c and 10 head of sheer
that is, he gives away to his wife
and children 80 head of cattle and SO
head of sheep. The law exempts from
assessment head of cattle for each
owner, and 10 head of sheep. Man,
wife and children makes 9; foui
head exempt for each, exempts &c
head and he gives 60 head for assess
ment. The 8 eXcmpts 80 bead ot

Nothing mean about him.
We are told this practice prevails
extensively in the 'COw Countless

An Exciting Accident.

An exciting and almost tragic acci-
dent occurred on the night of tue
Concert rendered to the Press in
Grcenville. The most distinguished
guests of the occasion lad been
grouped in the boxes on either side
of the stage, and every available
space IN the vast auditorium was
crowded to ovcrtlowing, including the
balconies ovCrhanging these boxes.
Just as the silver cornrt band con
cluded the opening overture, one OF
these balconies, under which were
seated Coy. Lowry, EX-GDy. stone,
Senator George, Representative
Stockdalo, Hon. Henry c. Meyers,
Mrs. Meyers. Mrs. VIII Henry, of
jackson. and Dr. Il. G.. Dunn, of
Grecnyille, came down with Il crash
underits load Of human freight full
upon them.
For Il few moments the scene that
followed Was one of widest confusion
and excitement. The vast sea of hu-
man faces, which moment before,
were radiant with smiles and a bright
ness that rivalcd the rays of the clec-
tric lights that flashed npOn them,
were suddenly blanched as by death,
women shrieked and the bustiing of
many feet was heard. \ general
panic WAS only averted by The timely
and assuring words of Il few cool men
who took in the situation at Il glance
and set about quieting the crowd.
Most fortunately the balcony was
light and as soon as emptled of its
human freight. which had rolled ont
pell-mell, it was not difficult to raise,
and wiling ana anxious hands soon
had it lifted from the distinguished
company imprisoned beneath. none
Of whom. strange as it may seem,
were dangerously hurt.
Mrs. Myers was very severely brlIiS-
ed and was taken UP in fainting
condition, and Senator George, VIII"
occupied a rather exposed position.
was also right severely bruised, but
all the rest escaped with scarcely a
scratch.
The band struck up in the midst of
the excitement, order was soon re-
stored, and the program proceeded,
but with somewhat deminishcd au-
dience. as many had left the hall too
badly excited and uneasy to enjoy
tie entertainment.

The directors of the bagging fac
tory met in Jackson on the 9th to
make further arrangements regarding
the establishment of the bagging fac
tory soon 'to he operated by the
Farmers Alliance. They canvassed
the returns made by the committee
who were appointed to solicit sub
scriptions to the stock, and found that
while those who had reported had
met with great encouragement, many
had failed to report, so that they were
without the necessary data to tell ex-
aetly how much of the stock had been
taken. On this account the directors
postponed final action until after the
meeting of the delegates to the con-
vention of the Farmers Alliance at
birmingham on the 18th instant.
They adjourned to meet at the call OF

Mississippi needs for Governor a
man who is abeve the petty intrigues
which raise demagogues to power ami
invest them with an authority that is
welded in the interest of rings and
the corrupting influences which at
tend them. The chief executive
should be man of sufficient learning
to command the respect of his con-
stituents, but the blunt honesty that
makes no use of politics for individ-
ual gain is preferred to the fox. like
eunningness of the politician who
keeps an eye open for the money of
his abettors in political trickery.-
