Musical Recital.

The following young ladies, together
with the members of the College Choral
Society, rendered the attractive program
of the pupils recital at the College lnsti-
tute on last Saturday evening Misses
l.. Cooper, Daisy Thiel, n. Hall, Mary
Walker, Alice Fitzhugh, n. Cam, Mary
Cassidy, Estelle Stewart, Sadie Dove,
Ruth Crutcher, X. Eagan, Annie Leitch,
Annie Herring and Mabel Stands. We
cannot compliment too highly the entire
program, for all of the participants ac-
quilted themselves most admirably, but
the recitation by Miss Lcitch deserved
especial mention and the sacred song by
Miss Mary Cassidy surprised her many
friends who fot the first time heard her
sweet, bird-l like voice, and noted the ease
and grace with which she sang. Having
only been under instruction for a few
weeks, Brookhaven will expect greater
things of Miss Mary in the future.
The recital amounted to a concert wor.
thy of any College Commencement and
the pride President Fitzhugh has in his
institution is manifested by these frequent
exhibitions for the benefit of his pupils
"a well rs for the pleasure of Brookhavcn'
appreciative people.

Mhite City PubliC SCh0hl.

The first month of the white City Grad
ed School closed last Friday with an en-
rollment of ninety pupils, which number
increased the first two days of this week
to one hundred with prospects of a large
addition.
The progress was all that could be OK
pccted under the circumstances, but the
new desks and other school supplies will
enable both teachers and pupils to do bet
ter work. Important to the success
of school Is regular and punctuai at
tendance, which is often neglected by pa
rents. Promptness is virtue which can
not be cultivated too early and hardness
a bad habit which cannot be suppressed
too soon They effect not alono the dis
ciplne of the school but the progress of
the pupils in their studies; and no absence
nor Hardness should occur unless absolute
liz unavoidable.
During the first month the 9TH Grade
was best III attendance. Its per cent. of
attendance was 99.2.
The following pupils are on our Honor
Roll for attendance, being present every
day and neither tardy nor dismissed before
the close of school: Joseph 1Iudnall, Ira
Parsons, Meredith Wood, josie Eitel,
Octavia White, Laura Myers, Deaton

Well Done, Good and Faithful Servants
Judge Chrisman and Hon. r. II.
Thompson reached home Sunday morning
after their arduous aud responsible la
bors rs delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, and laid down, unsullied by
the slightest stain, the commission they
received from the people of Lincoln cOun
ty to represent them in that important
work
Judge ChriSman will 60 down in histo-
ry as one of the few great central, tower
ing figures of that historic body, whose
strong individuality, dauntless moral
courage, patriotism and craftsmanship
left an indellible impression upon the
Convention and the people OF tie entire
State aud whose name in the hearts of his
countrymen will be more enduring than
marble shaft or stored urn.
Mr. Thompson; though less conspicu-
Gus figure, made record and accom-
plished n mark of which any man might
, well feel proud. AS member of the
] tSlSldllNC SOllItllNlCC NC IulIOuubCu anu
secured reforms in that department of the
State government which will save the
people thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars in the future, make hasty and ilId-
gcsted legislation impossible, and elevate
and purify this important branch of the
public service beyond anything hitherto
! attained. As chairman of the Sub Com
mittcc on Revision, lie also rendered in
valuable service to the State md the
Convention.
1t is worthy of record here, that on
every leading question before the Conven-
ton, as far as our observation goes, Judge
Ch.lsman and Mr.. Thompson always vot-
cd together, thus cvincing ii oneness of
opinion, rs well as devotion to duty and
principle that is truly gratifying to their
mutual friends and admirers.
In returning home and laying down
their high trust before their admiring
constituents, they will receive as they
both so richly deserve, the hearty
plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faith

/ At the regular meeting Of the City
Council Tuesday night Aldermen Davis
aud McGrath, the Committee appointed
at former meeting to examine and make
report rs TO a suitable site for The new
public school building reported that the
I White property, embracing Ii lots in the
northern part of town, could he had for
5000, and that the Hardy property, one
square South of the College, embracing
9 lots, could he had for S675, and recon-
mended that one or the other be purchas-
ed. On motion of Alderman McGrath
the selection was decided by ballot and
resulted in the choice of the Hardy lots
by vote of toe.
The Board held special meeting yes
terday evening to let out the contract for
the building and awarded the contract to
Mr.. J. NJ. Tedford, for 81 $50, he being the
only bidder
At the meeting Tuesday night the tax
levy was fixed at mills for revenue pur-
poses and mills for schools, tho same
rate that has prevailed for number of
years. The taxable property of the city,
as shown by the assessment roll is as fol-
lows:

An increase over last year in round
numbers of S1l5,000. With the same tax
levy, it is estimated that there will be %
surplus of the revenue fund of something
like u thousand dollars over current ex-
penses, In which event the surplus will be
paid ont on the new school building and
save issuance of that amount of bonds.

1 GOOD AMENDMENT.

Mr.. Thompson has introduced a
proposition to amend the Consultation

bribery in legislation. This includes
the trading Of votes on measures, the
penalty being expulsion and ineligi-
bility to reelection to the Legisla-
turc, also prescribing the oath of of.
fee accordingly, Senators to bc at
least twenty seven years of age and
Representatives twenty -four years
old. Every bill shall I've read on three
different days in each house, and no
bill shall become law unless on its
final passage il shall be read at

ing for and against the same to be en-
tered on the journals, and u majority

sion; no person who is defaultcr fol

If adopted the amendment will put
IN end to hasty, ill-digestcd and cor
rupt legislation.

Hon. G.. f. Hooker and those who
worked for his denomination may well
congratulate themselves on the mag
nificent canvass which realized its sue
cessful consumatiOn in last Tuesday 3
victory. Early in the canvass it look
ed for time that Col. Hooker would
not carry county in the district, and
his prospects appeared blue indeed,
but he got away from his seat in Con
gress for awhile and began to mix
with the people and the tide which
had hitherto been all in favor of his
opponents, began instantly to turn
and he soon drove his most dangerous
opponent literally from the field.
Whatever may be said by the oppo-
nents of Hooker, he never strikes be-
low the belt or resorts to the methods
of the wire-puller, and before the peo-
pie he is a dangerous antagonist fol-
any man to tackle.

1t has been said that if we have
woman suffrage, Prohibition will sure
ly follow. While we are bitterly OPP
posed to constitutional Prohibition
for this State, we are willing to forego
our opposition even in this for the
sake of white supremacy.-Orford
Globe.
AntiProhibitionists too often make
every other consideration subordinate
to their opposition to Prohibition,
rivaling in that respect the EXTREMIST
"cranks" on the other side of the
question, but in the above Editor
Showers shows himself to be worthy
exception to the rule.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-09-04
DIDN'T Sdf IT.

Notwithstanding the assertions OF
leading Prohibitionists to the effect
that they did not want Constitutional
Prohibition, big effort is being made
to have prohibition plank inserted
in the Constitution inOnd Ad-
rance.
When and where did leading Pro
hibitionists make any such assertions?
The official declarations of the State
Prohibition Convention and of the
old and new State Executive Commit
tees, the only organizations author
lied to speak for Prohibitionists, have
all been distinctly and emphatically
to the contrary.
1t is true that Bishop Galloway, an
x-chairman of the State Executive
Committee, has been so inconsistent
as to OPPOSE the advocacy of Cmsti-
tutional Prohibition at this time, but
that his views are repudiated by
Heading Prohibitionists" and the
masses is evidenced by the fact that
the last State Convention unanimously
adopted resolutions exactly counter
to the Bishops position, and instruct
ed the hew Executive Committee to
present and urge the carrying out of
its views 10y the Constitutional Con
vention.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-09-04
OUR SENTIMENTS.

The following introduced in the
Constitutional Convention last week
by Hon. w. c. Wilkinson of COpiah
expresses our views to a nicely:
"That Mississippi is Il sovereign
State of the Union, having all the at
tributes, rights and privileges held by
any other State. 1t is the right and
it is also the duty of this convention
to place such safeguards and restric-
tons on suffrage that none but those
who are capable of intelligently exer-
cising the privilege should have the
right to vote. No mere device OF
strategy to hold political power, how
ever ingenious or plausible, will be
in keeping with the dignity and pow
er of this convention nor satisfy the
Just expectations of the people of the
State, nor will it be regarded as per-
manent settlement Of the race gues-
zion. If lessening the number of vot-
ers involves corresponding decrease
of representation, let it go. Intelli-
gent home rule is of far more impor-
lance to the material welfare of the
State than Congressional votes"

For DoDDs.

The chair announced that Hon. T..
E. Hooker having received majority
of the votes cast, was the duly nOmi-
mated candidate of the Democrats OF
the 7th congressional district.
Mr.. Brown of COpiah moved that
the nomination be made unanimous,
which was carried amid applause.
On motion of Mr.. Sexton, Hon.
George S. DOdds was invited to add
dress the convention, which he did in
an eloquent, patriotic speech, pledg-
ing his unfaltering loyalty to the nom
inee and was enthusiastically cheer
ed.
At the close of Mr.. Dodds' address,
Col. Hooker was loudly called for and
responded in a well-timed speech
which was loudly cheered.
The speaking over, Mr.. Thompson
of Lincoln introduced a resolution
that the District Executive Committee
be instructed to make a new appOr-
tiOnment, and fix the representation OF
each county in the district convention
according to the white population
thereof
This raised a storm of opposition
from delegates from some of the black
counties, and Mr.. Powell of Madison
moved to table, which prevailed.
The counties voting to table were
Claiborne, Franklin, jefferson, Kinds,
Madison, and 2.10-11 votes from Ran
kin. Against, Copiah, Lincoln, Simp-
son and ILL from Rankin.

Isaiah T. Montgomery, the only ne
gro delegate to the Constitutional
Convention, is said to bear himself
with exceptional dignity and good
sense in the meetings of the commit
tee. A few days ago he made an ex-
cellent speech in which he declared
himself in favor of drawing the suf-
frage line at virtue and intelligence.
He voted for every Limitation propo-
sition agreed upon by the committee,
including the woman suffrage idea.

The truck farmers of Centreville
dissatisfied with the freight rates of
last year concluded this year to seed
down their patches to cotton which
now presents as fine crop prospect as
could be wished. Barring misfortune,
their lands will produce from a bale

acre. 1t is claimed that at least 100
bales of cotton will be produced with
in the cooperate limits of the town.

When you hear man say he is op-
posed to an educational qualification,
but is in favor of the Australian sys-

even read the Australian system, for
after all, that is nothing more nor less
than an educational qualification, and
without some other limitation that
will be of no good, in few years.

LAMAR FOR UOM1N SUFFRAGE.

Several years ago, before the defeat
of Mr.. Cleveland demoralized SO many
of our leaders and aroused a panic
among them as unreasonable as it was
groundless, Col. Lamar suggested to
the writer and perhaps to many other
Mississippians, as a means of securing
white supremacy in the State, the pol
icy of admitting to suffrage every
woman possessed of property in her
own right to the amount of 81, 200,
but he did not propose that she should
vote by proxy, or that woman adj
mitted to "Qualified suffrage" should
vote by virtue of certain qualitica-
ton possessed by her husband, and
then have her husband as her nearest
and best friend, cast the ballot as her
duly qualified agent and attorney.
He believed that the plan of admit
ting woman to suffrage on the basis of
property qualification, in Mississippi
pi, would secure white supremacy, as
thousands of our white women are
large property holders in their own
ight.-Aberdeen Examiner.
