\ Cheeky Proposition.

Besides the Judgment in the Kinds
county Circuit Court for $44 900 de-
barring Hoskins from taking seat i'll
the Legislature, there is another
little obstacle that might operate in
the same way. This is an indictment
against him in that court for gam
bling. The Kinds Circuit Court meets
about the time the lawmakers do, and
if Judge Chrisman should decide to
make an example of large game by
giving Hoskins pretty stiff sentence,
Lincoln county would have repre-
sentative on the Kinds county con-
Wet farm next winter instead of III
the Legislature.
Think of it anyhow,-this PROPOSE
ton to elect man to make laws who is
not only a defaulter to the State in a
large sum of money, but who stands
indicted for violating law and setting
the youth of the land an evil cx-
ample The people of this county
are not ready to submit to such a scan
dial as this, and the coons who are
backing him will find it out before
the election is over.

DR.. Il. Il. AppleWhitc for
Speaker.

Hon. r. r. Applewhite is mention
ed for speaker of the House; he has a
long and honorable record us q legis-
lator and is splendid parliamenta-
rian.-C0mmOncedlh.
1t gives us special pleasure to publish
the above extract from the Common
wealth. Dr. Applewhite is in every
way worthy of the position.
He is clear-headed, experienced as
a Legislator, fair minded and honor
able. He is man of genuine mod
esty and yet as fearless as lion in the
assertion of right. He has the courage
of his convictions.
1t is to be hoped that this true and
tried Democrat will be made speaker
of the House of Representatives of
the next Legislature, and that our
law makers will honor this section of
the State, and themselves as well. by
his election.

Better Let the White Folk:
Settle 1t.

The negroes have no candidates OF
their own color to vote for, and they
would act wisely if they would stay
away from the polls like they did at
the primary and let the white people
settle this election. Nearly all the
race conflicts that occur are brought
about by self-seeking white men who
want to use the negroes in elections
for their own benefit, and when the
trouble begins, the white leaders
always manage to get away, and the
poor darkey is the only one that gets
killed. The white men of Lincoln
are amply able to settle the election
among themselves, and they are going
to settle it this time their way.
The Brookhaven leader., 1889-10-31
Don't Hug a DeluSion.

We have been told that a good
many negroes and poorly informed
white men are going to support
Hoskins for the Legislature on the
idea chat if he is elected, he will Sc
cure the repeal of the fivc-mile law
aud obtain legislation that will bring
the saloons back. Hoskins has pro-
claimed himself an uncompromising
AUTHORIZATIONS wherever he has
spoken. and given encouragement to
this idea. vet nothing could he more
delusivc. Watts. who has straddled
the liquor question during this cam
paign as IL dead issue, really stated
the case about right in his opening
snecch mt the court house. lie said
that to talk about securing repeal
of the iiyc-milc law and getting
whisky back in Brookhavcn and Lin
coin county again is the sheerest
nonsense. Dr.. Applewhite, who has
no opposition, and whose election is
/ assured, is an uHcompromiSing Prohl-
bitionist lie will oppose the repeal
of the fve-mile law or the passage
of any measure looking to the revival
OF the liquor traffic i'll the county, and
lie will have more influence i'll the
Legislature than ten such Republican
whiskvitcs as IIoskins. Then there
is Senator Ford, who got the five
mile law passed by the Senate. lie
would stand like stone wall i'll that
end of the Capital against its repeal,
so that it is utterly useless for any
man to throw his vote away on Hos
kins on the idea that he can ac
complish anything i'll this respect,
even If elected.
Again, the whisky men in this coun-
ty, might find it profitable to remem-
Der Il little history on this point. Two
years ago they combined, while the
Prohibitionists were divided on other
issues. and elected just such an in
dependent Republican "h'SNylte 10
the Legislature as hosklhS' " nat
was the result lie not only did not
get whisky back IN the county, ouV
he had no influence III the Leglsla-
ture, though fully as aole a man as
Capt. HoSklhs, ana the hNe-hiiie lit"
The Brookhaven leader., 1889-10-31

Hoskins complained in his Front
street speech, as we are informed.
that his opponent Watts, had gone to
a protracted meeting. 1t surely would
have been better for the Captain to
have been there himself; he would
think so, if he could hear the COM
ments on his speech made by those
who heard it. BY the way, does Mr..
Hoskins oppose protracted meetings?
He stated in his "oration" that there
had been protracted meeting in
Brookhaven, at all times, since 1865,
with the air and manner of a man
who took but little interest in them.

sCANDALOUs CONDUCT,
In Which the Mayor of the Town
Appears as the Central
Figure.

Learning on yesterday that the
house of Rev. !. w. East, while
shrouded in sorrow and mourning in
cident to the death of his daughter,
Miss Cora, had been ruthlessly invad-
ed by Mayor Brennan in an intoXI-
Gated condition, and the watchers
over the dead girl seriously discon-
certed by his uusccmly conduct.
of the LEADER inter
viewed Mr.. ThoS. White, who was
one Of the watchers, to ascertain
what foundation there was for the re-
port. As this is matter i'll which
the Brookhaven public is vitality III
tercsted. we give the circumstances
exactly az Mr.. White related them.
He said
"Several young ladies and gentle
men, / among them, were sitting up
with the remains of Miss Cora East,
and about 1870 \. VI, +. +. Brennan,
in company with |. IsaacS, came into
the house in Il state of intOXicatiOn
and asked to open the coffin, as he
said, to make some change about the
corpse. told him the coffin must
not he opened and should not be, for
special reasons. This angered him
and he used vile oath. He also act
ed as though he intended to draw u
pistol. This all occurred i'll the pres
ence of some of our best young ladies
who were keeping watch over the life
less form of their dead friend. This
conduct so outraged and frightened
the ladies that they were absolutely
afraid to remain at Mr.. EaSt'S resi-
dence till daylight, he and his family
having retired for the night.
"Finally Brennan invited me out on
the gallery and charged me with be-
ing an enemy of his, and i'll various
ways sought to involve me i'll diff
Guilty right there ut the house of be
reavement and mourning, but | would
have no difficulty with him."
As all are aware who know him,
Mr.. White is young man of ire
proachablc character, and any state
ment made ny him can be relied upon
as correct The otfensc was all the
more aggravated, too, because Mayor
Brennan was not on terms of init
mate friendship with the family and
visit from him was neither solicited
nor expected.
This otfcnsc, is still more helm
Gus and inexcusable by reason OF
the fact that Mr. Brennan is, by vir-
tue of being Mayor, the custodian of
the peace, order and dignity of this
community. And What is more, we
have just learned that this is not the
first time he has invaded home
shrouded in mourning and made a
similar exhibition Of himself.
As public journalist who has a
painful duty to perform, we lay this
matter. which is Il delicate one to
the bereaved household and sor-
rowing relatives, before the
people of Brookhaven for theil
serious consideration. There ought
to be Il remedy, and it ought to be APP
piled. No town can suffer such con-
duet Gil the part Of its chief official to
pass unnOticcd and not suffer in rep
utatiOni to say nothing of the eXas-
Drratium nature of the OttrnSe aDart

A Standard System.

On Saturday last we had the pleas
ure of. visiting the State business
College ut Meridian, Miss, aud were
courteously shown through the entire
building and given an insight into
the excellent manner in which the
college is conducted. The system OF
actual business practice as taught
in this school is a result of practical
experience and investigation and is
recognized standard system, being
adopted by the best business colleges
both North and South. Young men
who desire to secure Il thorough,
practical business education should
see for themselves what is being done
at this college.-Aiabdmd Observer.

1t behOoves every Democrat to do
his whole duty in this contest. and
especially should every one who has
been honored with a nomination by
his party feel it incumbent upon him
to do all he can for the success of the

is a single traiotr in the Democratic
camp, but if any man who has been
entrusted with carrying the Demo
cratic standard in this fight
should he detected in making deals
and trading off any other man on the
ticket in order to secure his own
election, he should be publicly eX-
posed and the word TRAITOR writ

We are told that Capt. Hoskins
denies that he denounced the mer-
chants of Brookhaven three years
ago as thieves, robbers and eXtOr-
TONERS, when he and Watts were go
ing around playing the "Two
Orphans" act in the Local Option
campaign. However, we have a syn
opsis of one Of his speeches made at
that time, which reads very much
that way. To say the least, he play
ed Aaron and Hurr to Vans Moses in
that particular. In other words,
while Watts was doing the villifying
and abusing, he stood by and held up
his arms and said, "Amen /! smite
them Moses, hip and thigh !"

white antics to go in with them to
elect him on the idea that he can get

not a Prohibitionist, but he is too

For years we have believed that the

from the whole country if only the
professors of religion would do their
duty. Too many of them encourage
it by drinking the vile stuff. Then,
too, they encourage it by voting for
men who drink to drunkenness. The
christian man as much encourages
drunkenness by voting for a drnnkarl
