The Brookhaven leader., 1891-01-29
South Mississippi.

Last week and the week preceding
the State Alliance Lecturer had q very
pleasant trip through South Mississip-
nj. Beginning on Tuesday, January
9th, and ending on the 18th, he visit
ed the counties of Jasper, Jones,
Pearl River, Hancock, Copiah, Lin
coin and Pike. The county Alliances
of all these counties seem to be in q
fiourishing condition, and the people
generally are in a much better atti-
tude financially, than in our portion of
the State. That section of the State
has been regarded, until within the
past few years, as valuable only for
its magnificent pine forests, and was
supposed to be almost worthless as an
agricultural country. There never
was a greater mistake made, for by q
system of fertilizing adapted to those
lands it is not an uncommon thing for
the farmers to make q bale of cotton
and sixty bushels of corn per acre,
and then they raise large number OF
cattle and sheep in addition, with lit
tie or no cost whatever. The wool is
said to be superior to the common
wool and brings a better price in the
market.
The population of South MISSISSIPPI
pi is increasing more rapidly than any
other portion of the State, the Valley
not excepted, and the health of the
country is equal to any in the United
States. The people are thrifty, polite
and intelligent. They have good
schools and are taking great pains to
educate their children and fit them for
the duties of life. This writer was
much pleased with the evidences OF
prosperity he met on every hand, and
was BATTERED by the generous welcome
he received at the hands of the peo-
pie generally, and the Alliance folks
and hopes in the near flu
ture to be able to meet them again

The Brookhaven leader., 1891-01-29
A Hopeful View.

A leading Mississippian, well ad-
vanced in years and a close and intel
ligent observer, makes this hopeful
statement in private letter: "The
standard of political sobriety and
gentility is thousand per cent. higher
than it was 80 years ago, and it is due
to the warfare made upon the liquor
traffic by the Prohibitionists. No pO-
litical party in Mississippi or in Ma
tional politics can stand score of
years more without incorporating pro-
hibitioD principles in its platform, if
the same faithful work is done or
rathor continues, that We have wit
messed in the last 20 years. The w.
C. L. U. and a faithful ministry are
bound to succeed. God speed the
day"
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-01-29
Condemning the omcial Organ.

The following appears in the pro-
ceedings of the last meeting of the
Yazoo county Alliance:
Whereas, The constitution of our
order declares it to be non-partisan in
politics and,
Whereas, We recognize the official
organ of our State Alliance as an ed
ucator; and,
Whereas, We deem such education
should be in accordance with declared
Alliance principles and strictly non
partisan therefore,
BE il resolved by Yazoo County AL
lance in convention assembled, That
we condemn the Mississippian, pub
lished at Jackson, Miss, as the official
organ of the State Alliance, as par
tisan political newspaper.
Resolved, That q copy of these res
olutions be furnished the Mississip-
plan and National Economist for pub
| lication.
If such action as the above is taken
by the Alliances of the State general
ly, it will place the Mississippian in a
rather embarrassing position.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Truth from an Unexpected
Quarter.
For Sale In Rrookhaven by NALTY the GROCER.

Lie lEuth iEOih an unexpected
Quarter.
Far too frequent in the South, and
more or less in all sections of the
country. are barroom brawls and
whisky homicides as for instance. the
killing of Houeye at Amite. The ever
present barroom, the tendency to con-
gregate there as though it was the
social centre of the community, the
general carrying of weapons are re-
sponsible for this as we'll as for hun-
dreds of homicides in this country.
Without having the slightest dis
position toward prohibition, The
Times Democrat objects to the prac-
tice of making the saloon q social and
political centre, where men congre-
gate on holidays as the only place
worth going to, where they can meet
friends, talk over the political situa-
ton, crops, etc. In old days in New
Orleans, this practice was far more
customary than it is now, until the
barrooms received the title so MANY
of them bear today, Exchange" for
they played the part that the cotton,
produce and other exchanges play to-
day, and half the commercial transac-
tons of the city were completed at
their bars. Surely some better plan
can be found, for nothing has contrib
uted more to homicides than these
barroom meetings to discuss politics
and business, and the disposition to
believe that holidays are created for
the special purpose of drinking whis-
ky and raising ROW.. o. Times

Archbishop Ireland has issued a let
ter to the clergy of the archdiocese
of st. Paul in which he peremptorily
forbids every practice that in any way
resembles a lottery at Catholic fairs,
prohibiting all selling of raffies, fish
ponds, postoffices and other devices
generally in practice at such entertain
ments, and upon which church people
largely rely for their receipts. The
letter has created general interest.

Trial of Blue and Applewhite

The preliminary trial of VIM. Blue
and Bob Applewhite for the killing of
Dave McRee began at W. F. Smiths
store, near Caseyville, last Monday
morning before Justices j. f. Decell
and Irving Smith. The State was rep
resented by Hons. Geo. s. Dodds and
A. C. McNair and the defense by
Judge H. Cassidy. About 120 wit
nesses had been summoned and the
taking of the testimony was not con-
cluded until Tuesday evening, too late
for the case to be argued by counsel.
That was the program for yesterday,
but what judgment was. rendered
by the court, could not be learned
when this report closed.
Blue was unable to attend the trial,
and yesterday was delirious and SO
much worse that his brother came to
Brookhaven for DR.. Bennett.

1t is peculiar to perceive how many
of our prominent men are coquetting
with the Alliance. They will tread
daintily around it, hat in hand, give it
little side-wise smile, and be most
polite and attentive, but when it ap-
proaches to PROFOUND an important
question or to demand an expression
of opinion on some leading issue, they
float softly away. give stammering,
evasive answers, and draw close
their robes of hypocrisy. But the AL
lance is making it SO warm for some
of these meu that they would be glad
TO "take of their flesh and sit in their
bones" in order TO cool themselves

Being a great constitutional lawyer.

the restricting of the Suffrage to safe
and intelligent basis, yet it is said
that as member of the Franchise

everything that gave the least prom
Use of substantial ballot reform. At
the same time he has tenaciously
clung to his gerrymandering scheme
of making the Legislature safely Dem

also make safe the United States Sen

of the election officers might stand
and mark the tickets for every thick

He has proved himself worse than a

nenth of Mrs. BrIttingham.

The many friends of Mrs. Jacob Brit
tingham, the estimable wife OF the rec
tor of ST. Luke's Episcopal Church, will
be panied to learn of her demise, which
occurred last night at half-past eleven
o'clock at the rectOry on South Penn
street. The cause of her death was
typhoid fever, and although she has
been confined to the house for some time
she has been subject TO frequent varying
conditions, and her friends have
rather looked for an improvement, and
were little prepared for the final shock.
Mrs. Birmingham was i'll thirty-eight
days and was conscious to the last,
bearing the pains and discomfortS with
christian fortitude.
In the death of Mrs. Birmingham
church, social and literary circles lose an
active aud prominent worker. She
possessed in a marked degree the many
rich traits of true womanhood, and was
always earnestly and cOnscien-
tiouSy concerned in all that
tended to the upbuiding of
the church and the improvement Of So
ciety. OF a genial disposition, a pleas
ing address. a renneu ana cultured
taste, she had endeared to herself
many warm friends, not only in Wheel
ing, but also in Clarksburg and other
places in which she has at times So
iourned. Mrs. BrttiLgham, in addition
to other accomplishments, possessed SUI
perior intellectual attainments. While
successfully conducting private school,
at which bibliology, the classics and
modern languages were taught,
she also contributed at various times
articles of recognized merit to well
known periodicals. She took partic-
ular delight in literature, and her ac-
quantancc with many branches was
quite thorough. The deceased had been
here about two years, having previous
ly resided at Clarksburg. She leaves a
husband and one son, Philip Britting-
ham.
Funeral services will be held at st.
Luke'S church, this Monday evening
at o'clock, and at midnight the re-
mains will be taken to her former home
in Moorefeld, Hardy county, for inter
ment.
