\ Visit to the Capital CONNER
cial College.

We had the pleasure of visiting the
Capital Commercial College last week ,
and were surprised to learn that
about one hundred students have en-
rolled their names on the college reg
lister within the past three months
These represent nearly all the couh-
ties of the State, not a few hallih@
from across the Mississippi river from
Louisiana.
A visit to the college will convince
any one that it's methods of teaching
and appliances are calculated to I'M
part a thorough knowledge of business
routine, such as will enable student
to step into the counting house or en-
ter upon business with a knowledge
he could not acquire except IN such
an institution. We know OF no BUS
mess college where parents may heSl,
tate less to trust their sons an"
daughters, or where they will have SUI
perior advantages in learning tne
practical branches of Arithmetic
Book keeping, Penmanship, BANKING
Commercial law, Correspondence
Telegraphy, Shorthand and type
writing, than in the Capital CONNER
cial College, for a higher estimate 'I -

The Campbell Plan.

After calm consideration and
thoughtful study of what is known as
the Campbell plan, we have deter
mined to give our support to it and to
advocate its adoption. We have our
objections to some portions of it, but,
in the absence of something better, a
thing thus far not presented, and
probably, never to be presented, we
take it aud advise every Democrat to
do likewise. The mighty issues in
volved-tbe great problem of pOliti-
cal life or death to be solved and
that promptly, demand that we should
accept it. Let us lay aside prejudice.
That man to-day patriot is, who
cOmprehends the great responsible
ties resting upon him as an elector,
and cOmprehending, turns his back
upon prejudice and sets his face
where duty leads, and places his bal
lot where it will do not the most good
to him, but to his fellow countrymen,
and those who are to come after him.
Canton Picket.
The Campbell plan seems to be
growing in favor. If that plan shall
be adopted, we hope the limit will be
made for one additional vote to those
owning lands. We do not believe
that the giving of one additional vote
to those who have their property in
lands would jeopardize the State.
The man who has investment in such
property as cannot be moved is not
likely to favor any OnerOus legisla-
ton, but the man who has his home on
forty acres of land is interested to the
extent of all he is worth, just as the
man who has thousands of acres. This
plan puts the power more largely than
ever in the hands of the farmers,
and we do not believe it could be
placed where there would be less
likelihood of its being abused. 1t is
the precedent that we dislike.--New-
Farmer.

KS an original advocate of Il Con
stitutional Convention. the LEADER
does not share the gloomy view of
that subject INDUCED in by some. 1t
is we'll that the suffrage question
should be solemnly discussed and Sc
iously considered from every point,
as the meeting of the Convention APP
pr0aches, but we have an abiding
faith that out of the many conflicting
views entertained, there will be
evolved by the combined wisdom of
the Convention some solution that
will be approved by the majority,
and insure hereafter Il free, honest
and intelligent ballot. If, however,
the convention should decide to do
nothing touching the suffrage, other
changes may be made in our organic
law which will amply compensate for
the expense of holding the COnven
ton.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-05-29

Strong and able us the Kinds dele
CATION is we cannot suppress the ex-
preston of IA deep regret that Hon.
Frank Johnston was not selected as
one of the delegates from that county
to the Constitutional Convention, or
endorsed as her choice for the State
at-large. Capt. Johnston is il pro-
found constitutional lawyer, Il true
patriot and IL clear-headed, broad
guaged, progressive statesman, who
would fill a place in the Convention
to which few men will attain. We
indulge the hope that he may yet be
one of the delegat es from the State
at-large.

Very many citizens are under the
impression that the fourteen dele
gates at large to the State Constitu-
tional Convention, are to be chosen,
two from each Congressional District.
That is not required by the law,
though the State Democratic COnven-
ton to meet in June may nominate
them in that proportion if it sees fit.
The only legal limitation is that not
more than one shall be selected from
the same county.
