reaping better service and more sat-
isfactory results. We have added

has ever been. For this we are in
debted to Miss Carney, who we

tent buyer and faithful helper.
We have a good stock of nice
dress goods adapted TO the season.
Ladies seal-plush coats and Jackets;
also REFERS, which at present are the

TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A comprehensive synopsis Of the
article on education adopted 10y the
Constitutional Convention will I've of
interest to the LEADERS readers.
II provides for the maintenance of u
uniform system of free schools for all
children hetwCen 3 and 81, and the
establishment as soon as practicable,
of schools Of higher grade. The State
Board Of Education is continued, UNI
changed.
County saperihtendents are made
appoiutive by the State Board, with
the advice and consent of the Senate,
but the Legislature is given authority
to iitake them elective.
The school fund will consist of the
pull tax tu bc retained in counties
where collected, and sufficient sum
from the general Treasury fund to
maintain the schools four months in
each year, tn be distributed among
the several counties and districts in
proportion to the cducable children
in each. But any county or separate
school district may levy tax to con-
tinue its schools for longer period.
1t is made the Legislatures duty ia
continue the support of the A. Il NJ
Colleges Mt Starkville and Rodney,
and institutions for the education OF
the deaf. dumb and blind.
Separate schools are provided fOl
the two races, and the control of any
part of the school funds by any reli-
gious sect, or the appropriation OF
public funds to any sectarian school,
or school not at the time being con-
Quoted as II free school, is forever pro-
hibited.
Public officers and school trustees
are prohibited from possessing any in
terest i'm the sale of school books, APP
paratus or furniture.
The Legislature is directed to ascer,
tain the true condition of 18th section
school land titles, or lands granted i'll
lieu thereof, in the Choctaw purchase,
and prohibit the sale or lease of same
for more than ten years for gross
sum; but may provide for their lease
for not more than % years for an an
nual ground rental. Uncleared lands
may be leased for a short term for inn
provement, and afterward leased for a
term or to hold on payment of ground
rent.

their children that there is blissful
heaven and d horrible hell, one of
which will receive their souls when
this life is overt How, many read
the Bible by their firesides and hold
family prayer; or teach their children
that when they go to church, they
must go i'm the house and keep quiet
during services IL they do not take
any part in themG
| am mach afraid, Judging from
what see and hear every day, that
it would be comparatively few that
could truthfully answer, al do" to
all these questions. A great many of
our people are trying to educate their
children mentally, but unless there /.
more attention given to their moral
training, in my humble opinion, they
had better keep their money in theft
pockets aud their children In the field
until they can control them morally
and then have them trained mentally.
knowledge, rightly applied, is q great
blessing, but what is q greater curse
than knowledge misusedf
Brethren of the Alliance, l cal
your attention to these things and sin

when we will adopt a new and muci
better code of morals than we prac
tice at the present.

Belated Communication Re-
pudiating Ministerial SYM
pathy for Hemingway.

RoCKPoRT, Miss, Oct. 16, 1890.
Editor Brookhaven Leader:
In the latter part of August wrote,
as near as | can recall it, the follow
ing note to the New Mississippian,
which l registered at Rockport. At
ter waiting for some time, finding
that the N. NJ. did not see fit to pub
lish the note, sent stamped envelope
for the return of said note, and after
delay of several weeks, said note
is still in the hands of the n. NJ.
Therefore, be it resolved, that l write
the same in substance to the LEADER,
and if you do not see fit to publish it,
as am willing to bear expenses both
ways, please return it, and thus lay
an example of honesty and upright
ness worthy of imitation. The note
was written "thusly:"
In the BRooKHAvEN LEADER of Au-
gust 14th appears the following edi-
torial clipped from the Durant Dem
ocrat:
"And what of Mr.. Hemingway !!
Oh, he's all right. The peoples money
is gone, that's certain, but he is re-
ceiving sympathy, barrels of sympa
thy, and even ministers of the gospel
are holding out that he is innocent,
the decision of the court to the con-
trary Notwithstanding
In commenting on the above, the
Walthall Warden says the follow
ing: "No matter how much sympa-
thy Mr.. Hemingway receives, nor how
many ministers condole with him in
his disgrace" etc.
Now, | do not claim to know all the
ministers of all denominations i'll the
State, but do know many of them,
and as far as know, there is not one
who "holds out that he is innocent" or
"cOndoles with him in his disgrace"
In my humble opinion, there is not a
more law-abiding set of men any
where to be found than the ministers
in Mississippi, regardless of denOmi-
nations. And if the Durant Demo-
crat and Walthall Warden know of a
number of ministers who are "hold-
ing out that he is innocent" and econ
doing with him in his Disgrace"
it is not unreasonable to ask them
to give us, at least, few of their
names, that the entire ministry
of the State may not have to
wear the foul imputatiOn. Let
them do this, or else cease their carp
ing, which some of us don't wish to
endure. j. A. SCARBOROUGH.

JUDGE CHRISTIAN.

There is IL peculiar sort of criticism
being made of Judge Chrisman by a
certain set or clique in the State that
is worth thinking about. Nobody
who has strong conception of the
truth denies what he said ON the floor
of the Convention on the subject of
what is called in proper parliamentary
language "our present election meth
DDS" But the complaint made OF
Judge Chrisman is that he has in
some way revealed or betrayed Sc
cret that has been kept securely bot
tied up and hid away during all these
years. This is an odd notion. 1t is
so cranky and curious that it really
amounts to delusion OF an halluci-
nation. And its persistence and OBJ
stinate repetition savors even more
strongly of monomania. OF all the
extraordinary conceptions of the hu-
man mind, this fancy that Judge
Chrisman has made a revelation IS the
widest.
Let IFS calm our minds for few
minutes and think the thing over
coolly and nationally. Why was this
Convention called? What was the
great underlying cause of its coming
togetherP What reason did Senator
George give in the several earnest
and powerful speeches that he made
in the summer of 1892 Everybody
who heard this distinguished gentle
man understood perfectly that the ne
cessity was pressing and urgent, that
white supremacy in the State should
be placed upon legal methods and
that the present illegal and indefensi-
hle methods would have to be aban-
doned. The prominent and the ablest
newspapers in the State said the same
thing identically and precisely. And
if it has been said once it has been
said hundred times on the floor of
the convention. Everybody in Missis-
sippi who is not an actual idiot under
stands the meaning of the polite
phlaseolOgy of tour present methods"
And the man is fool who does not
know what has been going on in the
State for fifteen years. Our nerves
are very sensitive to plain, blunt
speaking, and such terms as FRAUDS
in elections" and "ballOt box stuffing''
offend delicate and refined taste, and
crate harshly upon sensitively Or
ganized nervous system. Chrisman
apparently has brusque and straight
ont way of saying things, and some
allowance must be made for him in
this respect. Besides this, most any
man who desired to go right straight
to the business before the Convention,
after reading the Mississippi newspa-
pers and hearing the speeches OF
statesmen on the great necessity fol
the Convention, would not have sup
posed he was committing an indiscre-
ton or making revelation of things
heretofore unknown to the outside
world.
If Judge Chrisman did not tell the
truth, what did the convention come
to Jackson for anyhow If every
thing is pure and sweet why disturb a
condition of serenity and repose ?

HON. II. I. BIRD.
He Has Misrepresented His Peo.
pie by Voting for the Saloon.
what His Home Paper and the
County Alliance Say.

n cas- surprise to nanny last Friday
to M, Capt. II. l. iIir,i of Lawrence, rep
resrnting the ohieSi PrUhbition county
la the State, and one that il practically
solid against the liquor traffic, castih.
his vote Ia perprtuate the saloon. He
Iirrfaccd his vote lay saying he felt in
stTuctrt by tile expressions he had heard
from leading men pf his cinnty ami all
other sources that they did not want any
thing done by the Convention on the sub
ject of liquor or Prohibition, and hence
he was onstrained to vote for the majorI-
ty report, which was in effect u vote for
the saloon, though he had intended To
vote Otherwise B'cokhuren leader.
Oct 2.
Capt. Bird may know more about
the expressions of the people of this
county on this question than we do,
but we have reason to doubt it.
We are in u position SO see the
leading, representative tax-paying
citizens of this county quite often; In
fact, more than anybody else in the
county except the Clerk, Sheriff and
Assessor, and we feel perfectly safe in
saying that fully threeshurths Of that
humber are in favor of prohibition
first, last and all the time, no matter
in what form it is enacted or enfOrc-
ed. The "leading" men of the coun-
ty that are in favor of the saloon are
few and far between. a great many
negroes would vote against Constitu-
tional Prohibition, and some good
white men, but if left to fair and
square test, Constitutional prohibi-
ton would sweep the county by an
overwhelming majority.
A great many that are uow pppos-
ed to local option are at the same
time III favor of Constitutional prohi-
bition, arguing that local option builds
up one county to the detriment of an
other, and they are thereby in favor
of imposing equal lmmunities upon
all. We know this to be fact, for
when statutory prohibition was talk
ed of for awhile last year, 1T fell to our
lot to circulate the petitions in this
county, and during the short time
that the writer and assistants canvass
ed the question, not only were the
names of the very best men secured,
but also some that had always before
been identified with the saloon crowd.

represented this county in casting his
vote for the saloon, as this is prohi-
bition county and will always remain
so.-Lawrence County Press Of Oct. 9th.
As is well known to all, conversant
with Lawrence county politics, Capt.
Bird was nominated for delegate to
the Constitutional Convention as the
chosen candidate of the Alliance. At
a meeting in Monticello Oct. 14th, the
County Alliance, whose candidate he
was, and which represents nearly
every man in the county of any prom
inence or influence, unanimously
adopted the following, which the
LEADER has been requested to pub
lish:
ReSolred, That we do not approve
of the action of Delegate IL. |. Bird
in voting no on the adoption of the
minority report of the Committee on
Temperance, as expressing the senti
ment of "leading citizens" of this
county, which sentiment we hold to
be in favor of Constitutional Prohibi-
ton.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-10-23

Judge Chrisman has made record
that neither he nor any of his friends
need ever blush to own. He has
proven himself in the Constitutional
Convention to he man true to his
convictions and faithful to his pledges.
All lovers of humanity will honor him
for the bold stand lie has taken in fa-
.yor of Constitutional Prohibition of
the liquor traffic. We are pleased to
note such men as j. p. Carter of Per-
ry, and w. T. Martin of Adams cOuu-
ties standing shoulder to shoulder
with Judge Chrisman in the fight "for
God and our native land" Although
in the minority, such men make no
whining apologies for their COURSE

that have been charged upon the peo-

CENSUS JUGGLING,

The Times-Democrat thinks no
State in the Union has been more
swindled by the census of 1890 than
Mississippi. 1t would seem that the
Census Department singled it out as
hOpelessly Democratic and punished
it therefor by cheating it ont of some
10000 or 100000 people and one
Congressman. During the period from
1860 to 1880, which included the war,
reconstruction, two epidemics and the
great emigration from Mississippi to
Texas, the State increased at the rate
of 21.5 per cent. for each decade.
Since 1880, there has been compare
lively little emigration from Missis-
sippi and a considerable immigration
into the State, mainly of negroes of
Alabama, Georgia, the two CarOlinas
and some even from Louisiana. And
yet the census declares that the total
increase in the population of the
State since 1880 has been only 153, 900,
or 1873 per cent, considerably less than
half the increase for the previous
decade of reconstruction and emigra-
ton.

or give a reasonable Interpretation

write up a reception. He got along all right

apparently in Chicago, the reporter entered
