sures his election practically without
opposition. 1t is encouraging to see
the counties selecting such men as

as much as any man in that body to
stamp out all agrarianism that may
show itself. Clarion Ledger.

and arrange with some hotel to enter

What Does it Mean?

The following dispatch from Jack
son to the Memphis Commercial of
the 3rd, perhaps means a great deal.
1t certainly indicates that corruption
the most corrupt, is being resorted
to, that Col. Hemingway may he
saved. But Bob Miller is there and is
watching the States interest with II
vigilant eye. Read the dispatch:
"On motion of the District Attorney
the Grand Jury panel was quashed and
the Sheriff directed to summon new set.
1t appeared that the list of the Grand
Jury sent by the clerk of the Board of
Supervisors was those selected by the
board sitting at Raymond, which is not in
this district. Secondly, the minutes
of the board failed to show that these
men were selected; and thirdly, the min
utes were not signed by the president of
the board.
Nothing of this kind ever happened be-
fore in Kinds county, and 1t has given
rise to much remark"
We ask now is Col. Hemingway en-
titled to any further sympathy? Must
pnblic opinion be held in Obeyance
longer7 When an attempt is being
made to swindle justice of her due and
the people OF that which is theirs, are
there any now to ask for further lem
iency?-Greenrille Democrat.
Since the above was put in type,
the new grand jury empaneled has re-
turned two indictments against Col.
Hemingway. He was required to give
a $25, 900 bond in each case, and his
astute lawyers at once made motion
to have the cases continued until the
next term, claiming that one of the
-treasurer's experts had discovered
a Sic, 900 mistake in the bookkeeping
and expected to find others to the
amount of 100000. The motion for
a continuance was promptly resisted
by District Attorney Miller, and
Judge Chrisman cut the matter short
by overriding the motion and setting
the trial for next Monday.

To the Citizens of Jefferson and
lincoln Counties.

In answer to n call in the Chronicle
to become a candidate for floater be-
tween Lincoln and Jefferson counties,
after consulting some friends, have
decided to do so. The primary cleo
ton is on the 9Th of July, and the
Convention meets in jackson on the
18th of August.
It is with some reluctance | do
this, as il seems Lincoln has already
signified her choice for the place,
which she has clear right to de, till
the two counties can adjust the mat
ter by joint convention.
BY common consent it has become
| the custom to alternate with each
other in making nominations. The
last Pictorial candidate came from
Lincoln; it Is now Jefferson's turn.
and at the next general election il
this rule will still be satisfactory to
both counties as heretofore, | shall
not hesitate to announce my name.
OF the amendments expected in the
new Constitution, such as the gues-
ton of suffrage, the appoiutive OF
elective judiciary, the term of Offices
and ineligibility after one term, pro-
viding against trusts, combines OF
monopOlies, and other changes of mi
nor importance, that have been freely
discussed i'll the State press, | have
an opinion about them which at a
convenient opportunity | am ready to
declare at length.
But as the whole Constitution will
be discussed in the Convention, some
margin is due member for a modi'
fication of his views, SO that if he
cannot get all he wants he may come
as near as possible to it.
At first | thought we might have
managed without any convention, but
our federal relations are becoming sc
menacing, the State is to be congrat'
ulated it was ordered.

Cant. Frank Johnston for the
Convention.

Strong and able as the Kinds dele
CATION is, we cannot suppress the ex-
preston of a 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 a pro-
found constitutional lawyer, a true
patriot and a clear headed, broad
gagged, progressive statesman, who
would fill a place in the Convention
to which few men will attain. We in
dulge the hope that he may yet be
enc of the delegates from the State
at-large.-Brookkaren Leader.
The name of Hon. Frank Johnston
was not brought before the conven-
ton in Difference to his expressed
wish. He had numerous solicitations
20 allow his name TO be used from the
best men of the county and has had
calls from all over the State to be-
come a candidate from the State al
large. The New Mississippian, with
the Leader, thinks that he should go to
the Convention, for it needs just such
men. lie would have few equals and
no superiors in that body. Ne,e Mis-

Against "Original Packages

Against OTlSlnal IdCkdScS.
The Senate has passed the "Origi-
nal package" bill to restore to States
the rights and powers over the liquor
traffic within their borders which was
taken from them by the recent Su
preme Court decision. The bill pass
ed reads as follows:
"That all fermented, distilled OF
other Intoxicating liquors or liquids
transported into any State or Terrific
ry for use, consumption, sale or stor-
age, shall, on arrival in such State OF
Territory Tor remaining therein), be
subject to the operation and effect OF
the laws of such State or Territory
enacted in the exercise of police pow
ers, to the same extent, and in the
same manner, as though such liquors
or liquids had been produced in such
State or Territory, and shall not be
exempt therefrOm by reason of being
introduced there in original packages
or otherwise"
The vote on the measure was a
light one, some Senators probably
fearing to go on record. 1t stood,
however, % Republicans and 5 DEM
ocrats for the bill and 10 Democrats
against it, The vote in detail is as
follows:
Yeas, Republicans Allen, Allison,
Casey, Cullom, Davis, Dawes, Dixon,
Dolph, Edmunds, Hawley, Hiscock,
Mitchell, Moody, Morrill,, Paddock,
Plat, Plumb, Power, Sawyer, Spoon
er, Stewart, Stockbridge, Washburn,
Wilson.
Yeas, Democrats, Call, Colquitt,
George, Pugh, Walthall.
Nays, Democrats-Bate, BlOdgett,
Cockrell, Coke, Harris, Jones, of Ar
kansas, Turpic, Vance, Vest, Voor-
hees.
Representative Sweeney, of Iowa,
has reported favorably from the
House Committee on Commerce bill
similar to the one just passed in the
Senate, though not in the exact
wording. An effort will be made to
substitute for it the Senate bill.

THE PRIMARY.

A surprisingly Small Vote Cast aud Sew
eraI Precincts Hold no Election at All.
The Democratic primary election
in this county last Tuesday, though
regularly ordered by the Executive
Committee and due notice given, was
attended by less than tenth of the
voters. In view of the important
political interests involved in the re-
suit, the indifference of the people
was absolutely incredible. and was
anything but complimentary to the
county.
The election was ordered to nomi
nate delegate to tile Constitutional
Convention, to decide Lincoln's
choice for flOatcr delegate, and to
elect 80 delegates to a county con-
vention to meet next Saturday, which
in turn is to appoint delegates to the
floatOrial convention, the cOngression-
al convention and the Democratic
State Convention which meets in
Jackson next Wednesday, June 18th;
so it will be seen that not only was
the nomination of delegate to the
Constitutional Convention from this
county involved, but it involved the
expression of LincOln's voice in the
selection of floater delegate, our
next Congressman, and the IA dele
gates to the Constitutional Conven.
ton from the State -at-large. Here at
Brookhaven, the largest precinct in
the county, only 81 votes were cast,
all told, including both town and
country.

ed and counted the returns and an.
