A citizen Of this county reports that he
saw en- ii tree, near HoImesvillc, the geo
graphical center of Pike county, notice
from Mr., Frank Campbell that he is an
independent candidate for Treasurer Of
Lincoln county. This is taken to mean
that Mr.. Campbell has abandoned all
hope of being elected by the voters of
Lincoln and is appealing to the voters of
Pike to help him defeat the Democratic
nominee of Lincoln, Ii is IL pity that IL
man who does not know that each county
elects is own officials should ask the peo-
pie to elect him to any Office. Pike coun-
ty voters can not help You, Mr.. Campbell,
and Ike G. Smith will be Lincoln county's
Treasurer the ensuing tonr years.

A Commendablp Enterprise.

Mr.. John Il. Perkins and his son Charles
are about TO project a useful enterprise
which the LEADER notes with pleasure
They propose to sink deep well in the
rear of Perkins Hardware Store, erect II
huge tank above it 40 feet from the
ground, and equip the well with Il strong
force pump, which will be run by large
wind mill erected above the tank. In
this way the tank will be constantly sup
piled with water, and from it underground
pipes will be run to the principal stores in
the block and water plugs put in at CON
venient distances, to which hose may he
attached for laying the dust or in case of
fire. The Messrs. Perkins propose to do
all this at their own cost, and all they ask
is that the business men who are TO be thus
benefited will pay Il moderate monthly
toll. The enterprise is worthy of all en-
couragement and praise, and once inaug
urated, we are confident will not be aban-
doned until Brookhaven has regular
system of water works. Mr.. Perkins says
if the plan works as satisfactorily as he
anticipates and he receives proper en-
enlargement, the system will be extended
to other business blocks.

Fade Cotton Gins
S72 a Bale for Cotton.

We make what is known as the EAGLE
ECLIPSE COTTON GIN, with Il HULLER AT
TACHMENT. With this kind of a gin planter
can gin cotton Of very long staple making a
splendid sample. selling in the market at lie a
pound; or he can gin on the same gin very dirty
cotton, turning ont sample from this kind of
cotton OF the very highest grade and bringing as
high a price as cotton Well and clcanly picked.
We haN" hundreds of testimonials regarding
the wonderful work done on the Eagle Eclipse
fIuilcr and Cotton Gin. During the season of
1889 Il large number Of planters sold their cot
ton ginned on this Eagle Eclipse liulcr Cotton
Gin i'll various markets at 16. 1Gi and IL, cents
bales of this cotton for II Fl Davis, Of Bruins
wick. Miss, at 17is cents pound. and they
write to Mr.. Davis that it was the most wonder
ful work of any SAW yin. and that the staple,
which was so long. was not cut seems very re-
maFkablc. During the season of 1899 a large
numher of planters obtained remarkably high
prices for cotton ginned on the EAGLE
ECLIPSE HULLER GIN.
one planter states that Harris, Day & Co.
have sold this cotton as high as Il cent? Il
States States that harris Day ( Co. sold 100 bales Of
cotton ginned on the Eagle Eclipse Huller Gin to
net him So a bale. The crop of pr. George
Eclipse Huller gin, and sold by \ j Forstal at
16, c. a pound. one planter who purchased
two Eagle Eclipse Huller Cotton Gins the
past season states that John 7 Harde & Co.
sold his crop of $40 bales at one cent pound
over the market price. The Rev. & VIII
llamS writes that the Eagle Eclipse Huller Gin
made sample to cotton which brought 10 per
cent. higher price than any of his neighbOTs OBJ
tanned for cotton gnned OH other cotton gins.
We now have large stock of the Eagle and
Eagle Eclipse iluler Cotton Gins ready for I'M
mediate shipment Send for Illustrated cata-
lOgueS and price lists.
The entire crop of long staple cotton of II, II.
Davis. of Brunswick, Miss. was ginned on
new Eagle Eclipse Huller Gin, with the Patent
Combined Breaker and Feeder and sold at IL,
C. a pound.
Mr.. Davis writes to the New Orleans Machine
Co.. Limited as follows:
The cotton with ordinary handling was sold
all of it, first and last packing complete by Har-
riS, Day Co, at lie cents "A pound. There
were SiNty-fOur bales of my own cotton and
eight bales of a neighbours, all gnned on your
EAGLE ECLIPSE HULLER GIN. | cannot do
better than quote from Harris, Day Coz let
ter regarding the ginning; they say: AS far as
the ginning is concerned. we must compliment
you. 1t is the MOST WONDERFUL WORK OF
ANY SAW GIN, and that the staple. which is
very long, is not cut seems very remarkable.
The cotton was not prepared, as Is often the
ease, at Il fair, but simply handled like the rest
of the crop, and was sold OH its merits
The above endorsement of the EAGLE
ECLIPSE HULLER GIN, with the combined
BREAKER and FEEDER, proves the SEPE-
RIORlTI of the gin over any other kid.
Samples of the l7'a cent cotton are now on
exhibition at our office.

j, III. Davis Killed.

Intelligence was received here ycster-
day of the killing of James Henry DAVIS
by man named Columbus Jones, east
of Wesson, near the Copiah and Law
renee county line, last Monday af
ternoon. 1t is stated that Davis
had borrowed somc corn from Jones
in the spring, with the understanding
that it was to be paid back this fall He
was at Jones's house to deliver the corn
when dispute arose as to the number
of bushels he owed. During the cOntro-
versy Jones drew his pistol and fired on
Davis, who at the time was in his wagon
and unarmed, and shot him through one
arm. Davis then jumped out of the wag-
on and ran, bnt was pursued by his as
receiving wounds from which he died in
a few minutes.
This is the version of the unfortunate
affair received here, and if correct, Jones
will be lucky if he escapes with his neck.
Deceased, as we knew him, was an in
offensive and worthy citizen. He was
raised on Fair River in this county, and
was the eldest son of Alexander Davis
and son-in-law of G. NJ. Bessonett, two
of the oldest and most respected citizens
of that community. To his Borrowing
relatives we tender our sncerest sympa
thy.

Tn. ColIc,,e Musicale.

The recital last Saturday evening by
the Musical Faculty of Whitworth Fc-
male College and Conservatory of Music
for the benefit of the Methodist church,
cclipscd all of their former efforts, aud
demonstrated beyond successful contra
dIction that WhitwOrth's corps of teach
ers ia this department are not to be sur.
passed il cqualcd, by any female college
of the country.
The musical portion of the program was
carried out lay Prof |. +. McKernan, Mrs.
w. d. Murrah aud Misses Kellogg, Russell
aud Brown, with members Of the.College
Choral Society assisting in two choruses.
All of the faculty except Miss Brown
were members last year, but if one might
Judge 10y their music on this occasion, all
devoted much of their vacation to per
f,cting themselves in their chosen pro-
fcSsion Prof McKcrnan and Mrs. Muir
rah sang with more than their wontcd
sweetness, and as Il pianist, we know we
have never heard Miss KcllOgg's equal.
. The program was most charmingly
varied by two recitations by Miss Town
send, the new teacher of elocutiOn. The
rccitations selected, 1.-THE Dumb Savior,
by Bryan, and "The Ruggles's Christmas
Dinner by Wiggan, were absolute
Iy antrpodal in style, conception
aud sentiment, testing To the Mt
most extremes the range of the
elocutlonist's talents, yet Miss Townsend
proved herself more than equal to the test
and her rendition of each was faultlcss.
She was enthusiastically encorcd by her
admiriug audience, and there never was
an encore more spontaneous or more rich

Pres Fitzhugh has always said that he
would keep the College equipped with
the finest teaching talent money could
command. He is keeping his word.

RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were introdnc-
ed and unanimously adopted by the Board:
Whereas, The members of this Board of
Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Brook
haven learn with deep regret of the resig
nation of our worthy Mayor, \. Lewen-
thai, Jr., and of his intention of chang
ing his residence from this city to that of
Greenvile, Miss.
Resolved, /. That in parting with Mr.
Lewcnthal, this city loses true citizen
and an officer who was ever ready to APP
hold law and order and to advance the in
terest of the city in every way possible.
Resolved, g That the Board of Alder
men of the city of Brookhaven regret that
Mayor Lewenthal finds 1t to his interest
to leave the residence of his boyhood in
order to enter larger field of usefulness,
and while we part with him in sincere sor-
row, at the same time hope he may sue
ceed and prove himself equally honorable
and useful wherever he may locate.
Resolved B. That these resolutions he
spread upon the minutes of the Board and
a copy furnished Mayor Lewenthal by the
Secretary.
MAYOR LEWENTHAL's FAREWELL.
Mayor Lewenthal then read the follow
ing address, which was ordered to he
spread upon the minutes and published IN
the proceedings of this meeting;
