A Novel Question.

A very curious question has arisen
under the new Constitution in regard
to the city election to be held on the
first Monday 9th day of January
1891, in Biloxi, Woodville and Holly
Springs. The franchise article pro-
vides certain qualifications for voters
and Office holders which apply to
towns as well as to State and county
elections. One of these is the voter
must be registered again it is provid-
ed there shall be no registration with
in four months of an election. The
Dortch Law ordinance and the fran
chise article both take effect the first
of January, and all statutes in conflict
are abrogated. Of course nothing
can be done under the Dortch Law
until it goes into operation and by its
terms no person can be voted for nm
less on official ballot and the name of
the candidate must be in at least ten
days before the election.
1t is therefore manifest that if the
constitution takes effect literally there
can he no qualified voters or office
holders in those towns on the 9Th of
January. So the question is shall a
literal construction he applied and
those towns thereby disorganized. 1t
is believed there is nothing in the
charter empowering the present in
cumbents to hold over.
The president of the convention is
understood to hold that elections
must proceed without reference to the
constitution.-COmmereial Herald.

The Penitentiary Farm.

The Clarion Ledger has the follow
ing to say about the crops on the Pen
itentiary farm at Jackson. According
to this showing, the sooner the State
prison farm is established and the
leasing system brought TO an end the
better:
This year the manager, Capt. Jcn-
kins, planted thirty acres ct new
ground in corn about the first of
June. The land was cleared last win
ter and of course was full of roots and
stumps, but they did not seem to hurt
the crop, as he gathered an average
of 81 1-15 bushels per acre corn, 62
bushels of peas and 23,500 pounds of
fodder.
From 16 acres in potatoes he has al
ready gathered 1855 bushels of the
finest and largest potatoes ever seen
in the State. The largest single po-
tato weighs 10 IL pounds; five of the
largest weigh A pounds, and twenty
five of the largest weigh 179.
This immense yield of corn and po-
tatoes was supplemented by the pro-
duction, also, of over 5000 pump
kins, some of which are of immense
proportions.
Capt. jenkins is a believer in the
efficacy of cotton seed meal 200
pounds per acre having been applied
at the last blowing. Farming at the
penitentiaTy certainly pays.

| The lumbermeu's convention which
ret in New Orleans last week was
very largely attended. and perma-
nant organization was effected under
the title of the Southern Lumber
Naaufacturer's Association. Under
the Constitution all manufacturers OF
Southern lumber and wholesale deal
ers are eligible to membership, mem
bership being no longer confined sole
~ to yellow pine men.
The Association incorporated a
clause in the official price list provid-
ing that hereafter the shipper only
guarantees prices, and that his re-
sponsibility ceases when bill of lading
is issued by the railroad.
The governors of the different
States will be memora!izcd to recon-
mend to their legislatures the passage
of laws against railroads failing to
furnish adequate shipping facilities,
and Congress is to he appealed to to
amend the interstate commerce law
SO as to remedy all unjust discrinina-
tons.
\ committee was appointed to pre-
pare plains for Il lumber exhibit at
the Worlds Fair. 1t was proposed
that each State assist in erecting an
octagonal building, in which the as
ISOLATION will hold convention.
Annual meetings will hereafter be
held on the second Wednesday in
January. Memphis was named as the
next place of meeting.
Lincoln. which is one Of the great
est lumber producing counties in the
South, was well represented at the
meeting by her leading lumbermen,
Capt. Lacey. Messrs. Hartman, Drey-
fus and others taking an important
part in the proceedings.
The lumber industry is one of the
most importont in the South, and the
LEADER is glad to see the hard work
ed but poorly paid lumbermen com
ing together and organizing for their
mutual interest and protection.

\ Hcll-HOIe Closed.

Some weeks ago, license was grant
ed 10y the Board Of Supervisors of
Jefferson county to one Mcdaniel to
open u saloon within FIVE miles Of
Union Church where the counties of
jefferson, Lincoln and Franklin cor
ner, and To say that this saloon at
once became an intoleTable nuisance
t" the good people in all that country
roand about, aud standing menace
10 the public peace and order, is but
stating fact. 4 number of the lead
ing citizens of that neighborhood, ap-
prcriating the direful results of such
ln evil in their midst, promptly re-
solved upon its suppression, if it
could I've accomplished. A little in
veStigation elected the fact that it
had been set up in violation of law,
and last Saturday petition was pre-
scented To Judge Chrisman for an in
junction and the same granted on the
following grounds:
!. That the order granting the priv
ilege did not describe the place where
the liquor was to be sold with sufti-
cient particularly; the grant being to
sell in the northeast corner of a GER
tain section.
.. Because before the passage of the
local option law, there was local act
prohibiting the sale of liquor in five
miles of Union church, and before the
local option law took effect, char
tered institution of learning was To-
Gated in the prohibition territory, and
the local act was protected and ex-
cepted from the repeating section OF
the local option act on that account.
3. Though the petition for license
alleged Mr.. Mcdaniel was a man of
good moral character, the Judgment
granting the license did not adjudi-
cate but pretermittcd any notice of
that essential requirement of the law.
The petition for injunction was pre-
pared and fled by District Attorney
McLa III, and the fiat granted by
Judge Chrisman.

Well Said and to tho Point.

The people of Mississippi owe it to
themselves and to Col. Hemingway,
to locate the Whereabouts of the treas
ury shortage. The Pinkertons make
it their business to unravel just such
cases, and they can discover all the
ms and outs of this "mysteiious" de-
falcation. \ thousand dollars judi
clously expended in this direction, will
do the business. If Col. Hemingway
is an innocent man, as he protests,
and his friends assert, he ought to be
vindicated and liberated without de-
lay. If, on the other hand, he is
guilty, as twelve of his peers and the
courts have said, and has had accom-
plices, they should be uncovered and
made to share the same fate which has
been meted out to him. In this mat
ter the peoples motto should be :
"Let no guilty man escape, let no in
nocent man be punished."-JackSon
MiSsiSSippidR.

The WcSson Mills.

AS an evidence of the rapid growth
of the mills, and their continuous in :
crease in capacity, so new looms have
arrived this week, with so more to
follow. The knitting machinery that
was expected some time ago, has also
been received, and will be in full Ope-
ration soon. This enlargement of the
mills necessitates. of course, a new
force of hands, and will to some ex-
tent, help build up our town. The
enterprising Mill Company certainly
deserves credit for the good work it is
doing WessOn Mirror.

The Penitentiary Board of Control
leased out the convicts again last
Monday for another year. There are
now only about $50 able bodied con-
victs fit for farm duty. They are
scattered over the delta counties in
squads of from Is to %, and in most
instances the same planters who had
them this year are retaining them al
the same price, So per month. They
are in great demand. The number
left in the walls is only about IS.
The new constitution forever prohib-
its the leasing system after January

The Farmers Alliance.

The objects of the Alliance are "to
labor for the education of the agricnl-
tural classes in the science of econom-
zeal government, in a strictly nom
partisan sense; to indorse the motto,
IN things essential, unity, in all
things, charity; to develop better
State mentally, morally, socially and
financially; to create better under
standing for sustaining civil officers i'll
maintaining law and order; to con-
stantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will among all man
kind and brotherly love among our
selves; to suppress personal, local,
sectional and national prejudices, all
unhealthy rivalry and selfish ambi-
ton.
Are not these objects worthy of the
greatest effort of which the head, the
heart and the hand are capable!

EXTENT OF WOUNDS.

DR.. Barber of BroOllhaven was call
ed Tuesday night to see all of the
parties, and yesterday afternoon gave
the LEADER the following as to the
nature of the wounds received by
each:
Blue was struck Oh the top of the
head by three large shot, two of them
ploughing through the skin several
inches and passing out without injury
to the skull. The third went a little
deeper and fractured the skull and
affected the brain, also passing out.
McRee was shot int he left forearm,
the ball ranging up to elbow, where it
was cut out, and near the navel, the
ball ranging to the left near surface
over the hip bone and was cut out of
rump.
Applewhite received a flesh wound
through the upper left arm, another
through the flesh of left hip, and a
third ball in the breast above and to
left of heart, which could not be To-
Gated; he also had one or two cuts on
the head from blows received.
DR.. Barber regarded Blues condi-
ton as very critical, the others favor
able for recovery. Summing up,
though, he said all might die, or all
might recover.
The pistols used were SO Smith g.
WessOn's.

SHOOTING IT OUT.
\ DEADLY FEUD BEARS
BLOODY FRUIT.
Three Young Men Engage in a
Desperate Encounter Near
Caseyville.
All Three Dangerously Shot.

\ desperate shooting affray took
place in this county Tuesday about a
mile south of Cascyville, between
young Dave McRee on one side and
Will Blue and Bob Applewhite on the
other, in which all three of the par
Elephants we're dangerously wounded.
An old fcud had existed between
Dave McRee and Will Blue prior to
the killing of Young Penn McRee
Dawes cousinl by Blue near Union
Church last October, and the Staying
of Penn and what occurred that night
greatly intensified this feeling. Bob
Applewhite had previously had trou-
DIE with another cousin Of Dave Nc
Rec and was an intimate friend OF
Blue. This was the relation existing
between the parties when the en-
counter of Tuesday was precipitated
On that day Will Blue and Bob APP
plewhite had been to Mr.. Will Nc
Laurin's together in gig and as they
nearcd the main road after leaving
Mr.. McLaurin's, Dave McRee was
passing along the main road on horse
back with a shot gun, going to n
neighbours after load of corn, his
wagon and team having preceded
him some distance. Coming into the
road Immediately behind him, Blue
and Applewhite turned down the
road in the same direction to go
somewhere else, instead of taking the
other end, which led to their home.
McRee, noting this, and naturally in
ferring by the strained relations be-
tween himself and Blue that
they were following him to raise a
difficulty, suddenly stopped and
turned to meet the supposed attack.
Blue, on the other hand, seeing Me
Rec turning, thought he had stopped
to make premeditated attack, and
commenced drawing his pistol. No
sooner had he made a motion in this
direction than McRcc fired with one
barrel of the shot gun and Blue fell.
McRee attempted to shoot Applewhite
with the other barrel, but it failed to
fire, and he then jumped from his
horse and drew his pistol, Applcwhite
having meantime jumped from the gig
with his pistol and commenced shoot
ing. Both emptied their pistols at
each other, Applewhite throwing his
at McRee when it would no longer
shoot. and McRcc closing in and
striking Applewhite blow on the
head with his gun.
Mr.. w. II. Williams, who lives
near Caseyyillc, was in town yester-
day and gave this to representative
of the LEADER as Apprentices YER
sion of the atfray. We could not get
a statement from Mckee. There were
no eye witnesses except the partici-
pants.
Subsequent to the shooting, all
three were found by friends at differ
ent places on the road and their
lying on the field of battle,
near Blue, who had never moved from
the spot where he first fell. His pis-
toll. undisCharrcd, Law besides him.
