was accidental

THAT DYNAMITE CRUISER.
Ole Question is Yet to be Decided Befsrs IL
il Accepted.

WASHINGTON, October 81 = President
Schuyler, of the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun
Company, had a conference with Secretary
Thcy to-day over the question Of the accept
a1ce of the cruiser Vesuvius, built by his COM
p.ny under contract with the Government
AID recently tested. The contract
stipulated that the vessel was to
BE- armed with 10-inch guns that
would project dynamite bomb one mile with
20 pounds pressure The guns that were used
on the trial were 16-inch guns. The naval au-
thorities want to be satisfied, before accepting
the vessel entirely, that the change from 10 to
5-lneh guns was not made, because then 10
inch guns would not fulfill the terms of the
contract.
Another test will probably be had to settle
this point. The officials have no objection. Of
course, to taking the larger guns if the dyna-
mite company will show that the l0inch guns
will do the work required by the contract.

that people would not run against him. The

Thomas Handy, the party con
victed, kept his saloon open dur

He appeared without an attorney
and managed his own case. His
defense was that others in that
business had been selling on the
sly and in order to keep up his
trade, he vas forced to sell on
Sunday, but proposed to do it
openly. His defense prevailed not
and he was convicted. There has
been much noise and a great ex-
pense incurred in N. 0. by prose
cutions under this law. The re
suit to dateis three convictions.

Farmers Alliance and tic Bag

Every bale Of cotton should he
put up this year in cotton bagging
if the farmers can get it. Even if
i. costs more than jule, the extra
cost will be many times repaid
hereafter by victory over thus
odius and oppressive trust. II
jute is cheaper, 1t is on account Of
the war that has been and is now
being made by the Farmers Al

for the same purpose, will necessa-

kens the combine. 1t the farm

deals in bagging, has plenty Of it
and is not connected With the
trust. This may be so, but how
are the people going to he satisf-
ed Of it. 1t would doubtless be
difficult to find one OF these who
would admit that he had any con.

Farmers Alliance Meeting.

The Parish Unions all met in
their regular quarterly meeting AT
Rocky Springs near Lisbon last
Thursday and were IN session till
Friday evening. We were not
there on Thursday, but learn that
all the unions were represented
and that considerable business rel
atlye to the order was transacted.
On Fridry, which was the big
day, there was an immense crowd.
We reached the grounds in time
to hear Rev. j. W. Melton on the
"bagglng trust" He portrayed
in strong terms the baneful and
destrutlye influence of large cor
poratlons and monopolies. His
speech was 4 splendid exposition
Of the evils of the "bagging trust"
and his cxhortation to the farm
ers to refuse the jute and buy the
cotton bagging was full of force
and reason. Next came the state
lecturer, Mr.. Guice Of Desota par
ish. He spoke for about 2 hours.
His speech consisted mainly Of a
review of the history of nations,
showing that money corporations
and monopolies have always rul-
cd the world. He closed with 4
strong appeal to the farmers to
better their conditions and relieve
themselves from the thralldom Of
the crelid system and from the
bondage of debt. Mr., Guice is
well informed man and shows
that he has been a close student
of political and commercial econ
omy.
Next came dinner, that part Of
the programme in which 1000
ANXIOUS, hungry, sultry souls par
tlcipated, The fact that the DIN
ner was spread by the good ladies
OF the Lisbon community, is suf-
hcient guarantee Of its abundance
and quality. We would say that
1.-The table literally groaned under
the weight of rich viands,' but
this phrase being worn out by long
and continued use, we simply say
that there was mighty heap Of
good things TO be had.
The afternoon was consumed in
the transactions Of bushes pecu-
liar to the order. Hon. A. L. Mel
son was re elected president; G. j.
Carglle, yice-president; j. ". Nc
Far!and, secretary; Il. Z. McClen-
don, treasurer; j. 6. Copeland,
parish lecturer and J. W. Melton,

whole was an interesting and prof,
liable one. Many q farmer went
away with stronger determinations
and better resolves.

ing will be held with the Black
burn lodge in October.
