Mr.. Thompson stated in his address
as President of the State Bar AssOcia-
tion last January, that he had secured
an authentic list, and that there were
only 613 lawyers in Mississippi.
Judging by the enormous proportion
of this number who were in jackson
on the 18th, they must have mistaken
the Democratic State Convention for
"a called meeting of the Bar Associa
ton.

The Real Issue.

In a late interview, President Polk
of the National Alliance said:
"The issue is not the tariff nor the
free coinage of silver nor the Sub
Treasury bill. The issue is the reform
of the entire financial system. Neither
the issuance of more money nor the
collection of less taxes will alone do
the people any good. The entire fl
nancial system of the Government
must be changed before anything else
that may be done can correct the ex-
isting evils"

The Kemper Herald heads the plat

Circuit Court.

A special term of Circuit Court
will begin next Monday for the pur-
pose of trying the parties caaryad
with murder of Jacob Nav IN the
night of the 10th of last Novem.. , p.
1t will be remembered that On thai
night Jacob May was shot ana
killed in his bedroom about IL
o'clock. From the evideuce it ap-
pears that Mr.. May (probably at
tracted by an unusual noisc) had
gotten out of bed and gone to a
door which opened into an unoccu-
pied room, and just as he rnached
the door to enter the unoccupied
room met with his death. The
family were aroused by two shots,
and, as soon as they ascertajned the
cause, at once raised an alarm. The
nelghborS were soon on the scene.
A torch, made of rags saturated
with coal oil was found in the
room from which the shots were
fired. Next morning a crowd of
searchers started out. Tracks were
soon discovered, and other evlden-
ces were slowly but surely brought
to light which resulted in some half
a dozen men being arrested for
completely in the commission of the
crime and who were closely guarded
for several days.
Finally George Critics, one of the
apprehended, ''turned States Evi.
dence, and all of the apprehended,
except Sanford Francis and Joseph
Nirden, were given their liberty.
Joe Virden is a cousin 1--WE are toid)

The trial which will be called
next week will attract great many
people to Marble Hill. Sheriff
Huskey has selected the following
gentlemen as a special grand jury
in the case: James Allen, John
Call, Jonas Grader, A. J. Masters,
David Check, Wm, Burkctt, II. f.
Rhodes, G. II. Lane, Peter Hawn,

FisIar.
The Press has refrained From
any expression as to theguilt or limo,
cence of the parties under arrest,
and shall do so until after the case
has been settled by the courts. But
it gave an unbiased account of the
crime few weeks ago. The mere
fact of all arrest is far from a con-.
victlon Of guilt and innocent par
ties are frequently arrested for
crimes, in the preparation of which
they were in no wise connected.
We hardly think that the case,
Will be tried next week, although
it may. The Press will publish a.

trial however, whenever the trial is
had.
