issues INVOLVING the social and
moral community. The delay Of
constitutional prohibition few
years by agreement, concerning
action upon the subject by the
convention, would not weaken the
cause or render the OBJ ject more
difficult to accomplish at some
future time. The probability IS
that the new Constitution viii IN
crease the relative strength Of
Prohibition In the legislation OF
the State, and that final success
can be reached more easily under
1t than under the present order of
things. Tho friends Of te emperance
can afford to labor on few years
more under the law of "local
option to prepare the people for
the observance Of prohlbitory law
throughout the State. The cause
is gaming strength all the time in
the thought and consclcnce Of the
people, Its success is only a quej-
tion of time and patient labor on
the part Of Christians, patriots
and phllan'hropists. III it be
argued that delay Is dangerous to
the cause, it may be replied that
the enemy would be strengthened
by our defeat in case Of failure ia
the convention and the difficulties
in the way would be multiplied.
Success will not be delayed BY
keeping the question out of the
Convention, If the friends and
supporters of the cause are dill
igent IN guarding Its interests.
So far as the liquor traffic is con-
cerned we may safely abide by
such laws as we have for the
present with constitutional pro.
vision for the people them elves,
or through their representatives to
control the whole matter. The
advocates of this reform should
see that no constitutional him
drance Is put IN the way, and that
the field Is open for the contest for
a fair settlement IN the future
ProhlbitIonists do not propose to
gain the victory by any unfair
means. They propose to enllght-
en- the people on this important
subject that they may see that
their best interests are involved
in its right adj Istment. They are
willing to have all the facts
brought out is evldence Of the
nature and object of this move
ment. If there is to be an attempt
to decide this question in the
Convention, let it be understood,
and let the anti-Proh bitlon know
it. But If, afterdue consideration,
It should appear to be best to
leave the question out of the con.
ventlon to facilitate the settlement
Of other important gquest ons, let
those who are concerned on bott
sides of the case agree to leave il
open for future consideration.

While we we're ut morning
prayers, in Kayanaugh College,
Friday, April 2jth, the life-weary
saint, Berkeley S. Turnipseed, at
his home a half block away,
closed a long period Of suffering
and an active, useful cai Ger, quiet
", softly, breathing out his hfe.
1t was fitting, beautiful time to
die "a morning lit with the sun
shine Of spring, odorous with the
breath OF flowers and redolent
with the wild rhapsodies of the
mocking birds--a time eminently
fitting the passing of an earth
weary spirit, home-slck for
heaven.
He was born at the old Turn ip~
seed homestead, on Toplsaw, five
miles northeast Of here, on July
9th, 1915. He was reared and
educated there and here, spent
his whole life, here or near here.
and died here among his friends
and relatives, honored ami be-
loved as a Christian, a friend and
a citizen He was married on
Dec. 2lst, 1861, TO Miss Mary
Huffman, who is still among Us.
In 1867, under a sermon bv
Rev. w. B. Lewis, of the Mlssis-
rsippi Conference, boyhood
friend and school-mate, he was
profoundly convicted. Uuable
to thrnw off the impression thus
made, he was converted some
weeks afterward, while in a skIff
with his brother-In-law, on the
waters of Top:saw. He joined
the Baptist church, and became
an active, useful and very promi-
nent member. He was especial
ly active in the Sunday School
work, loving it almost passionate

to his death, Clerk of the Bogue

pRoHlslTloNANo AUTHORIZATION

Mr.. EDITo2:-Iu the choice Of
dplega tes to represent the people
of Mississippi IN the Constitu-
tlonal Convention there should be
a mutual agreement between the
parties, respectively, IN regard to
these questions ia the Conve ntion.
In the fist place 1t IS Important
that the friends Of Prohibition
should understand whether there
will be an effort made to put 1t
in the Constitution or not. The
address of the executive COM
mittee seems to favor the agita-
ton Of the question in the selec-
tion of delegates and the action of
the convention for Prohibition.
There are others who have been
and are still true friends of the
cause, but they do not think it
best to have 1t tangled with other
questions of importance to be
acted upon by the convention.
Prohibition must prevail by its
own merits, and it cannot have
the consideration 1t deserves 10
this campaign. There are other
things prominent in the minds of
the people to constitute the work
of the convention. which will cause

STAND EIaM. BROTHERS.

The New Orleans New Delta
eXhorts the anti-Lottery members
of the Louisiana legislature in
the following language:
The Lottery Company IS now
gathering It's forces for final
desperate onslaught on the de.
voted band Of Representatives, in
the General Assembly who arc
standing Up for the cause Of the
people ana honest government.
Headed by their chief, the lottery
forces were eatly In the field at tie
Capitol and boosted Of their power
to sweep ali before them. But
they have found in the House
minority composed OF some OF the
best and truest democrats in Louis
lana, organized and determined
to defeat what they regard as the
most dangerous measure ever pre-
sentcd for the consideration o a
legislative body in this State
The lottery cohorts were driven
back in confusion IN the first
attack, aud no longer boast
ownership of the Legislature.
The champion of the people hold
the citadel and are we'll equipped
for the fight. They have now to
withstand the seige which has
peen laid, and maintain unto the
last day Of the session the trust
which Is in their custody.
The banner which they have
raised Is watched by mllliors of
people. From every city and
town, and village and hamlet,
aye, from every fam in Louis,
lana anxious eyes with every ris-
ing sun will turn to that standard
and breathe a prayer that it may
not 90 down in dlshonor. From
every State In the Union there
will come greeting TO the httle
baud that IS so gallantly maintain
ing the honor of Louisiana, and
upholdlng It's rank in the sister
hood of States. From all parts
of the civilized world, wherever
the Anglo Saxon tongue IS spoken,
there will be words Of cheer.
Since the liist white settlers set
foot upon our soil no Loulsian-
iaus have occupied a more exalted
po;Ilion.
Stand firm then, brothers.
Be true TO the right and duty,
and your fellow-citlzens of Louis

Time will vlndicate your course,

nitted its future prosperity ano

Stand firm to the last.
And when the Speakers voice
shall declare the session of 1890
ended there will 90 up a shout

FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.

Rain is badly needed in Macon county
and crops are suffering.
There IS one section in Butts county, ex-
tending five or SIX miles in the direction of
Griffin, where 1t has not rained in five
weeks. The people there are the most pros
porous and energetic set of farmers in Butts
county, and the drought is hurting them
badly. In nearly all the rest of the county
there have been rains, and the crop pros
poets are fine. But the entire fruit crop is
failure. Even the blackberrIes and plums
were failure.
George w. Forester brought into the
Albany NelUS and advertiser office the other
day most wonderful thing in the shape
of watermelon. He had procured it
from j. l. Hand of Pelham, and was taking
1t to Atlanta to place on exhibition in the
melon exchange in that city. 1t is a regu-
lar Richard Ill watermelon-the worst
deformed specimen ever seen. 1t resembled
in shape the knottiest artichoke ever grown
upon freeman's soil, and it owed Its de-
formity to the spot which it had selected as
the seat of its growth. The vine had run
out through the gnarled root Of a tree, and
the little melon had been born right In a
spot surrounded on all sides by roots. AS it
grew it found that it could not stretch
itself freely, and only grew where it was
not confined by the roots.
