Lowry and McCardlc's History
of MiSSiSSiDDi.

We take pleasure in acknowledging
the receipt, with the compliments of
the authors, of copy of "a History
of Mississippi" by Ex-Governor Low
ry and Col. w. II. McCardle. The
work covers the period from the dis
covery of the Mississippi river by Her.
nando DeSoto to the death of Jetfer-
son Davis, and presents in consecu-
tive form and attractive style all of
the great events and important facts
connected with Mississippi as a Terri
tory and State, as well as many minor
features of absorbing interest. We
have only had time so far to sean a
few chapters, but enough has been
CLEANED to discover that it is a work
no one can afford to be without who
wishes to become familiar with the
history of his State. AS a mere book
of reference, it is invaluable.
1t is handsome volume of Gas
pages, elegantly bound and neatly
printed, and reflects much credit OIL
the publishers, r. ii. Henry & Co., OF
Jackson, proprietors of the Clarion
Ledger.
The same authors are now engaged
in the preparation of "History OF
Mississippi for the use of schools y
1t will be volume of two hundred
and fifty or three hundred pages, and
we have no doubt, judging from the
volume before us, it will be work
well worthy of adoption by the school
authorities of the State.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-08-06

the bolts in ChickaSaw, Pontotoc and
Carroll counties, two of which were
rccornizcd and endorsed by the self
same majority of the convention
which usurpcd authority to deal with
the financial issue. In every county
in which the Alliance Democracy
have been beaten in the primaries
they have promptly acquiesced. The
danger of n third party has been con-
qucrcd for this particular occasion in
mississippi. IL was not seen when the
Alliance Democrats carried Tennessee,
the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.
1t was not seen i'm Kansas when u Re.
publican majority of $4,000 was over
come. aud when ingalls,, the sectional
agitator, was sent to the rear.
81 have abiding faith in the princi-
pies of the Democratic pavty, and
maintain that they are broad enough
to conserve the welfare of the country,
and to meet the just demands of the
agricultural and other industrial class
cs for relief from the ills which afliict
the body polite. The National Dem
ocratic Convention will adopt plat
form in favor of increasing the volume
of money in circulation, and upon
that broad declaration will be formu-
lated a plan upon which true Demo
Gratis can unite. The contractionists
who are fighting the demand for more
mOncy-equal rights for all and spec
ial privileges for nonc-will be forced
'to obey or quit the camp.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-08-06
Vic Primary.

The attention of the white Democ-
racy of the county is called to the
of the Executive Com
mittcc published in another column,
that none but white Demo
cratic voters. and such other white
voters as are willing to abide by the
result of the primary and support its
nominees at the general election, shall
vote at the primary.
This is as it should be. No white
man should, and we are sure no true
Democrat would desire to foist him
self upon the people by negro votes.
We feel assured, from what we know
of the candidates, that none will OBJ
jcct to the proceedings Of the Com
mittcc, It's they will all have an equal
chance before the primary, with none
but white men to vote.
If there should be any who are
afraid to submit their claims to the
white voters of the county, but prefer
to rely upon the negro element, then
such should not be supported by white
men.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-08-06
An Old Lie Revived and Nailed
to the Cross.


In 1881, the Messenger in support
ing Gov. Stone for reelection, charg-
ed upon authority that it regarded as
reliable, that his opponent, Maj.
Barksdalc, voted while q member of
the Confederate Congress "for the 20
Niger law"
Replying to the charge Maj. Banks
dale wrote a letter to Judge j. w.
Buchanan, then Il resident of this city,
now of Memphis, Tenn, which in JUS
tce to HIM was published in the Mes
senger July 2Sth, 1881. Touching
this subject the Major said:
"The 20 niger law. 1t was a
clause in very long bill, switch was
reported by the Military committee to
the House (Of which committee | was
nota member,) after consultation with
Gen. Lee and other military authori-
ties. Such bills were usually passed
with but little consideration, as they
were presumed from their origin, to
be proper measures. That clause i'm
pressed me unfavorably and VOTED
AGAINST 1T, as one of our members in
Congress, who has recently examined
the Confederate archives ut Washing
ton, informs me, and though it has
been eighteen years my recollection
conforms with his statement. The
bill was only in existence a few
months. INTRODUCED A BILL TO RE-
PEAL 1T AND 1T WAS REPEALED ON MY
NOTION
OF course the Messenger retracted
its accusation in the face of the above
statement, and it is simple justice to
both Maj. Barksdale and himself, that
the Hon. John NJ. Allen, who made
the charge at Billiards. last Friday,
should correct ChickdsdW MeSsen-
ger.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-08-06
The Copiab Alliance.

The Copiah County Alliance met at
White Oak Church, near the Little j.
Railroad, on Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week, and it was the good for
tune of the editor of the LEADER to
DC in attendance and enjoy the meet
ing to the fullest extent.
On the first day, after the usual
formalities of opening, the body adj
iOurned to hear speeches on the polit-
ical issues of the day by DR.. L. n.
Rowan. one of Copiah's most loyal
sons. and Maj. Barksdale, the gallant
standard bearer of the Democratic
masses for United States Senator.
Both gentlemen made profound inn
preston on the large audience which
had gathered under the spreading
oaks to hear them, and frequent bursts
of applause attested the favor with
which their many telling points were
received.
We found that the Alliance men
and farmers of Copiah had been great
ly misrepresented by the George press
and partisans, and that they were
strong and enthusiastic for Barksdale
and the Sub-Treasury. Some claim
that the county will give Barksdale
500 majority in next Saturdays pri-
mary, and their earnestncss and en-
thusiasm indicated that they meant it.
The Ocala demands were endorsed
at a previous meeting, and the scnti-
ment was to support no man for leg
islative office who is not in accord
with the Alliance platform.
The resolutions adopted by Shiloh
Alliance of Madison county, demand
ing the expulsion of Assistant Lectur-
er McAlister from the Order on ac-
count of disloyalty to its principles,
were unanimously adopted.
The selection of the LEADER as the
official Alliance organ of the It'll Con-
gressiOnal District, was heartily en-
dorsed, and a large number of the
brethren showed their appreciation
still further by enrolling theiI names
as subscribers, for all of which, as
well as for many other courtesies and
and expressions of confidence, we feel
profoundly grateful.
The election of offices for the ensu-
ing year resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, y. B. Guyncs; Vice President,
John b. Middleton Secretary, j. ID.
Miller; Treasurer, 7. f. GrOome
Lecturer, Il. j. Millsaps; Assistant
Lecturer, y. II. Templeton; Chap
lain, j. y. Scarborough.
y strong delegation, headed by
President Guvnes, was elected to the
State Alliance.
The hospitality of the White Oak
people was unboundcd, and the good
sisters and ladies generally of the
distinguished them
selves i'll the culinary art by spread
ing magnificent basket dinner both
days of the meeting.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-08-06

A few Alliance men in this county
have bOlted the organization, rather
than support candidates in accord
with the Alliance demands. 1t is to
be hoped these brethren will see their
mistake before it is too late, and re-
trace their steps. No one who knows
them well can doubt their honesty of
purpose and conviction, but the blum
der they are making is none the less
apparent. The doctrine of majority
rule is the prevailing one in this coun-
try, and the one to which all must
submit at last i'm the settlement of all
public issues. The minority must
yield, pride of individual opinion
must be surrendered. No great bat
tie was ever fought or won by every
soldier going into it, fighting "on his
own hook" and following his. own or
ders, and the battle against the money
power in this country can't be won by
Alliance men in that way either.
