Yes, and the Times is one of the
prohibition organs" that thought it
"unwise" to carry this question before
the Constitutional Convention, and
afterwards lived to see, as result of
its folly, members of that Convention
who were Prohibitionists, bound hand
and foot by pledges to non action,
standing up and voting to perpetuate
the saloons of Mississippi in violation
of their honest convictions. Persons
who are too ready to listen to and heed
the advice and warnings of the enc

Col. Daniel bennett.

The death of our honored fellow
citizen Col. Daniel bennett was wide
" noted and universally lamented by
the press, and many are the glowing
tributes paid to his worth as a writer
and patriotic, public spirited citizen.
The following short biographical
sketch is taken from the closing por-
ton of an editorial in the Times DEM
ocrat
As a writer on farming subjects Mr..
bennett was able to be of great serv-
ice to the section where he had made
his home, and to him some of the late
improvements in our farming methods
are largely due.
Mr.. bennett was born at Saco, Me-,
March 81, 1918, and was consequently
~ years of age at the time of his
death. He moved to Ohio in 1888,
where he taught school two years, then
to Iowa, also teaching school, near
Dubuque, finally to Lebanon, Tenn.
He returned to Maine in 1871, but
soon after came to Louisiana, in which
State. Texas and Mississippi, he has
ever since resided first on Bayou
Sale, in st. Mary parish, then at Crys-
tai Springs, Miss, Franklin, La, and
other points. He began editorial
work in 1912 on the Franklin Banner,
and kept it up almost to the time of
his death, devoting himself mainly to
agricultural and kindred subjects.
Mr.. bennett was an active, indus
trious, energetic and public spirited
man, and in all respects good citi-
zen

a Wife and Mother that Let

Not Let Her Alone.
AND HOW HIGH OUGHT THE LICENSE
BE TO PAY FOR SUCH A CRUEL
OUTRAGE AS THIS?

GREENvILLE, Jan. 11.-Frank
Poole, victim of the horrible do
nestle tragedy of Tuesday night last,
died at his home i'll this city at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
Poole and his wife were horribly
burned by lamp which he, in fit Of
drunken frenzy, broke over her head.
He had been out until about l O'Clock
that night, and when he returned
found his wife in bed.
When he asked for his supper she
told him where to find it, and com
planned of being sick. This seemed
to enrage him, and he grasped her by
the hair and pulled her out of bed,
then grasped the lamp and broke it
over her head. AS he did so the burn
ing oil streamed over them both,
burning them horribly. Mrs. Poole
was not burned quite as badly as her
husband, and though she still fingers
in great agony, hopes are entertained
for her recovery. Much sympathy is
felt for Mrs Poole and her three little
children. Should Mrs. Poole recover
she will be SO manned that she will be
a helpless invalid for life.

Cuts Both WnNs.

1t seems that under the franchise
article of the new Constitution, which
became operative January LIST, no Ii
quor licenses can be granted in coun-
ties where local option election has
not been held. Such counties operate
under the old law, and petitions for
license have to be signed by a major
ity of illegal voters" Now, under
the Constitution, registration under
it is essential to qualify as a voter,
and there is no way to determine who
are legal rioters until n registration is
had. In case, therefore, Mr.. Rummy's
license expires at any time after Jan
uary LIST and before the completion of
the new registration, he must shut mp
shop, for a while at least.
This is one effect. Now another
that strikes PrOhibitionists and
whisky men alike. The local OPP
ton law provides that an cleo
ton Hereunder can only he had upon
the petition of at least "One-t tenth of
the voters who are qualified to vote
for members of the Legislatures" and
SO neither the PrOhibitionists in Il wet
county nor the whisky men in n dry
county can call an election until there
is new registration.
Again, the new Constitution requires
that every voter must be registered
four months before any election at
which he offers to vote, and the local
option law provides that local option
election shall not be held nearer than
two months of any other election. A
general election is to be held in this
State on Nov. 81 so that in no county,
wet or dry, where local option cleo
ton is not set on or prior to Sept. 3,
and four months after the completion
of the new registration, can such
an election be held this year. In
short, if there are any local option
elections held in 1891, it will require
the making of some very "close con-
nections."

The State of Nebraska is at present
in the unique and unprecedented posi-
ton of having three Governors.
There are two who claim to have been
elected on Nov. boyd and Powers,
the former Democrat and the latter

there is Gov. Thayer, Republican, who
declines to vacate the Office and the
State House, until he has ascertained
which of the other two is his legiti-
mate successor.

A Washington telegram states that
big fight can be expected when the
apportionment bill is taken up, as it
is understood that the Republicans
will move to reduce the representa-
ton of the State of Mississippi be-
cause of the disqualifying clauses in
the new Constitution of the State as
applied to the suffrage, and the
Democrats will get even by proposing
similar reduction in the cases of
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connccti-
cut and Rhode Island, where, it is al
legged, similar disqualifications exist.
The contest is certain to be warm and
protracted.

Hon. II. b. Tillman, the Alliance
Governor of South Carolina, when
asked if he favored the Sub Treasury
scheme replied:
"No, Irby does not, nor does Don
aldson, nor /. No, sir. We are will
ling to grant the alliance demands for
free coinage, the abolition of national
banks, and taking taxes off state
banks, but we don't believe in the sub
treasury scheme at all. 1t is vision

The Vicksburg Post says: "Neither
of the political parties seem to take
hold of the Southern problem in the
right way. The Southern Senators
and Congressman should come square
ly out with the whole truth in regard
to our political condition, and ask the
Northern Senators and Congressman
to remedy it, if possible, in a way that
would set at rest all agitation and at
the same time be just to each section.
1t is not wise, nor honest, nor states
manlike to claim the benefits accru-
ing from the negro vote, in National
matters, and then to suppress that
vote. Cannot this condition be rene
died 2"
Because the old parties have so
clearly shown their unwillingness or
incapacity to deal with this and other
great questions in an honest, states
manlike manner, is why there is a
growing demand among the people
for new, vigorous, nOn-sectional
party that will.

company they keep. Therefore, when
men associate, from choice, with MUIR

Mr.. Dickie, chairman of the Nation
al Executive Committee, made liberal
propositions in behalf of his commit
tee to aid in paying an organizer,
which was accepted. One plan of
raising money to defray our part of
the expense, is to ask for small month
ly contributions for twelve months or
for such length of time as the commit
tee may deem it necessary to keep an
organizer in the field. In order that
we may commence the work at an
early date, the Committee would re-
spectfully request that all Prohibition
lists who are in favor of this move
ment, send me their names and ad-
dress, stating the amount they are will
ling to pay monthly, from 20 cents to

Tombstone epitaph., 1891-06-07
OfIuterest.

A writer in the last number of the Mining and Scientific Press has some. thing to say of Sonora mines, among which he mentions two or three which will he of local interest. He says;
 "The St. Helena gold mine at Las Delicias on the Sonora river is now running its business steadily, its 6O- stamp mill is being constantly In op. eration, running partly on tailings, ol which many thousand tons are banked from former years, and partly on ore extracted from the mine.
 "There has been large influx of natives into the "Oso Negro" camp from the surrounding country, owing to the fact of the great activity of the above company. Their mines are rich and as they have worlds of ore in sight are being operated very successfully.
 "Mr. Jeff Bickerton of the Tobaca- chi mine near Cumpas. is making regular shipments of rich ore to the United States and is doing fairly we'll, although freight to Sonora R. R. costs him very heavily, owing to the great distance he has to transpor this metal.

THE Apaches are getting restless again and good sized outbreak is feared this summer. Reports of out breaks and killings are of every day occurrence. It is only aquestion of a few weeks or perhaps days, when they will move through Cochise county on their way to Sonora. The needs of a ranger service cannot be overestimat- cd. With ell due respect to Governor Irwin as an individual, as an officer to whom is consigned the personal safety of those who live in the exposed portions of the territory, we think him complete failure. He has full power to equip a ranger company to protect our people from the ravages of these blood thirsty devils. His neglect to do 50 will cost him the condemnation of our people should our fears be re- alized and deeds of bloodshed follow his neglect of duty.
