The meeting of the National Ali
ance and Wheel held in Birmingham
on the 18th, resolved to adopt the
Odcmhejmer cotton tagging. weigh
ing twelve ounces to the yard, as a
permanent substitute for iute bag
gim&; to demand an allowance of at
least eight pounds on each bale Gov
cred with cotton at the selling price
Of the cotton and to decline to sell
wherever such allowance is not CON
coded. 1t also appointed a commit
tee to lay this proposition before the
Cotton Exchanges of the country, and
to ask from them this allowance or
tarc. Several million yards of the
cotton bagging was ordered at once
from the several cotton mills repre-
scented, at the rate of II! cents per
yard. This is The heaviest blow the
jute hag%ing trust has received yet
AND marks its permanent downfall.

The response of f. J.. Martin. of
the New Mississippian, on behalf Of
the press, to the address of welcome
at Grecnvillc. was the most brilliant
effort brought forth at the late ses-
sion of the Press Convention, aud We
regret that lack Of space prevents its
reproduction in the LEApER. As Il
humOrist, " 1t and keen satirist, Ed. is
second only to his lamcnted brother
John, and the success Of his effort at
Greenville was acknowledged by his
brother editors in his au2nimous elec-
ton as their next Annual Orator, a
position held by John Martin at the
time Of his tragic death.
While the editor may have his per
sonal preferences, the LEADER will
not champion the carse of any local
candidate who goes before the Dem
Ocratic primary over that of any other
candidate. All will he treated alike
in that respect, hut we will say in
general way, that no man should be
supported for IL place on the Demo
cratic ticket who is lot likely to be
thoroughly loyal to his party and the
rest of the ticket after be is nOni-
mated. Any one who will 10 luke
warm, apologize and ready to trade
of any Of his acknowledgements in or
der TO catcL Republican and indie
pendent votes for himself, had better
lie left off to start with. lie will be a
dead weight TO the ticket and TO the
party ali through the campaign.

Daring his recent trip to GrecmVilie
the Editor bad the satisfaction of re-
newing many old acQuaiutances and
friendships that were very pleasant
indeed. In fact, the population Of
Grcenviile and The Delta is very
largely made up of people from the
hills and pincy woods of Mississippi
who have gone there in the last few
years, many in the last few months.
Any one who has ever lived at Jack
son, Br0okhaVen, or almost amy
where else in the hills, on going there
meets old friends and acquaintanceS
at nearly every turn. We met DI. ES-
It's Butler, formerly of WessOn, on
Lake Washington. the finest section in
the Delta, where he is located, highly
esteemed and doing fine practice.
Capt J. l.. Mikell, former Sheriff of
Lincoln county. is managing fine
place for Major Millsaps near Green
vile, and thoroughly in love with the
Delta. DR.. Cannon, late of Lawrence
county, is located at Indanola, where
he is doing a lucrative practice. The
IIilzims, formerly of Jackson, ARE pros
porous shoe merchants in Grcenville.
In short. space would utterly fail us to
mention all the Oil friends we met
aud their occupations and hopeful
prospects,

From some comments we have
heard, We are persuaded that the
Democratic primary election appoint
ed for July 9th, is not clearly under
stood by Il large number Of the voters
ofthc county, and the Independents
and Republicans, who are opposed to
any thing looking to Democratic par
ty organization, are taking advantage
of this fact to m!srepresent and excite
all the prejudice against it they can.
This being true, we would modestly
suggest that it might be a wise
thing if the Executive Committee
wouM call upon few leading Demo
Gratis like Hon. Il. ii. Thompson,
Judge Cassidy. a. {. McNair, DR..
Applewltite, 4. NJ. Summers, Enoeh
Carruth, j. G. Sessions, and others to
canvass the subject in different parts
OF the county, explaining all the mat
tiers involved, and urging upon true
Democrats the Importance of organic
ing and standing together. And
moreover, such action, to be effective,
should be taken and the appointments
made at once.

OR old friend \. G. May, Esq, Chan
crIy Clerk of Simpson county and candi-
date for State Treasurer, paid the LEAD
Err IL welcome call last Friday. He was
here in the interest of his candidacy and
getting acquainted with the people. In
consideration of the fact that Mr.. May is
in every respect worthy and competent,
that he is from u neighborinG county, and
that The present incumbent has held the
Trea>urer's Office something over an
eighth of a century, he should receive
the cordial support Of Lincoln county in
his aspirations. MIR. May is IA handsome
and atiable young gentleman, and this
coupled with the fact that he is related
to our Lincoln county Mays, should al
so commend him to the favorable colIeid-

Eultor Brook haven Leader:
OF all the names mentioned for

consideration, than that Of \. g. May
for State Treasurer. Mr.. May is at
present Chancery Clerk of Simpson
county, having formerly been sheriff,
and is well qualified for State Treas
urer or any other position to which
he might aspire. He is a son Of Judge
William May of Simpson county and
related to Felix May, Chanccry Clerk,

He j. an old stuicmt of Mississippi

STEPHENvILLE, TEX. July 21.-Steph-
enville is vertically on a boom. The
graders on the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande railway are only a few miles
out.
A month or so ago, when it was
announced that the First national bank
of Stephenville was organized, also
debenture company with capital of
$3.50 900, people looked at one another
askanJ, as much as to say, ''Who
would have thought this three months
ago?" Bully for Stephenville! Now it is
announced for a certainty that the Erath
county national bank is also organized,
both to build immediately. The first has
for itsjpresident our leading lawyer and
land agent, c. Shepard. The second
has for its president our leading physi-
clan, DR.. NJ. S. Grow. Both are men of
business and of money. The directory in
both are composed of our best business
men and most solid capitalists, and sub
stantial capitalists from abroad.
Col HOxie, vice president
of the Erath county natiOnaF bank is a.
man of many millions. He says he
wants to make Stephenville q. banking
center foEJall this Western country.

Three months ago 1t was apparently

airs. An election for incorporation has
been ordered for August al which will
carry beyond the peradventure of
a doubt. The sound of the hammer
and the saw rings out from early morn
to dewy eve. Several new rock build
ings are going up, some nearing compile
ton; many to follow. Even the sur
rounding country has caught the infec-
ton, and real property is changing hands
at double the figures of a few months
ago, in whole farms near town.

Crops are magnificent, never better,
though the small grain Is somewhat dam
aged by the continued rams and wet

KILLED THE WRONG MAN.

officer Fatally Wounded and an Unknown Man
Killed in an Attempt to Arrest Escaped Pris-
Oners.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 21.-Two pris-
oners, W. A. Smith and Richard Mans
field, broke from the county Jail last
night, going through a slate roof. Dep
uty Sheriff Joseph Goldsoll went to the
western part of the city, where one Of
the men lived, and with policeman lay
in wait for the fellows. About midnight
a carriage containing two men passed
along the street. The officers called to
the men in the vehicle to stop, and after
some talk one of the men fired a revolver
at the policeman. He and Goldson
opened fire in return, half a dozen
shots being exchanged. Goldsoll fell
at the first volley shot through the
abdomen, and the rig was driven
rapidly away. The wounded officer was
taken to the hospital, where he now lies
in diving condition, and an hour later
the rig driven by the two men was found
a mile from the place of the shooting. In
the buggy was the dead body of one of
the men. He had been shot through the
body. 1t was at first thought the dead
man was Smith, the younger of the pris-
oners, but those who knew Smith utterly
failed to identify the corpse and tonight
the police are still in the dark. They
think, however, that the dead man was
up to mischief, for IN the buggy were
found two revOlvers, club, screw driver
and piece of rope. The horse, which had
been stolen in the eastern part Of the
city, was wounded in the hip, and the
buggy was riddled with bullets. 1t Is
believed the other man was also wounded.
