FIVE thousand pounds of Jerusalem

Editor BrOOkhaven Leader:
In your last issue you rendered the peo-
pie much needed service by publishing
in full the important ordinance governing
the November election. The LEADER IS
the only paper in the State, to my knowl-
edge, that has given to the people in ex-
tense this lengthy document. 1t is sin
gular fact that before its publication but
few electors understood the unique mOdus
operandi of the new law, which is a puZ-
cling innovation upon the old-iashioned
method If clecting our public servants.
1t has some things about it that must
meet with general approval. The design
is that the people shall vote privately on
their own Judgment for the best men for
the public service, uninfuenced by mere
partisan considerations. The entire pro-
cecdings is secret. The ballots are not
distributed, and no man sees his ballot,
till he goes to vote. No man knows, or
can know, how any other man votes.
There is to be no scratching of tickets.
The only way to vote is to make an y
mark Oh The margin of the ticket opposite
the name of the candidate voted for. On
ly those so marked are to be counted.
The names not voted for by the cross mark
are to be left standing just as they are
printed
There is to be no party ballot. Only
one ticket is allowed for all parties, and
that is to be headed the "Official ballot"
There is to be no Democratic, no Repub-
lican, no Prohibition or Independent
ticket only the one "otficial ballot" on
which all names OF all parties shall be
placed without preference to any. This
enables the voter to select from among all
the candidates according to his best jndg-
ment, without help or hinderance, or in
reference of any kind, the best man for
the public service. That is what every
good citizen desires, for "A public officer is
only a servant of the people aud they
ought to have fair chance to get the
best servants. LEN.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
The Brookhaven Machine Company's
Boiler ExplOdes.
John Hoskins Instantly Killed and Others
Slightly Injured.

John HosIkins Instantly Killed and Others
Slightly Injured.
Between and 3 o'clock Tuesday morn-
ing dull explosion was heard by most of
the citizens of BrOokbaven, accompanied
by a very perceptible concussIon, and
some of those Ill the central portion OF
town who had been reading about the
earthquake that shook up Alcorn and lis
honingo counties last week, thought
there was about to be II repetition of the
same experience in these parts.
1t soon became known, however, that
the sound aud jar had been occasioned by
The explosion of the boiler in the machine
shop of the Brookhavcn Machine Com
pany, near the Railroad crossing on Cher,
okee street. On fastening to the spot,
those in the vicinity found that the ROOF
and sides of the rear portion of the shop
were badly wrecked, and numerous pieces
of iron and debris had been thrown into
the street. John Hoskins, who was the
fireman, was lying dead in The black
smith shop, near where the engine stood
badly mutilated and his head entirely
blown off. G. A. Woodbury., the machn-
est, had been painfully, though not dan
gerously wounded in the side, by piece
of splntered timber, Mr.. Charles Chris
man, his blacksmith and Hardy Matthews
who were standing near the boiler at the
time of the explosion, were stunned by
the shock, but not otherwise injured
Their escaue seems almost miraculous.
Mr.. Chrisman and Ans. Lawson were
engaged at the forge about 20 feet from
the engine, where the explosion occurred,
being separated therefrom by partition
wall, and John Hoskins, who was killed,
was blown through the partition and fell
dead between them. Hardy Matthews
says he was standing Immediately behind
John HOskins when the explosion oc-
Cured, and that he found himself in the
blacksmith shop without knowing how he
got there.
The cause of the explosion cannot be
satisfactorily explained. Mr. Chrisman
is of the opinion that it was caused by an
excessive head of steam
The death of John Hoskins is regretted
by all who knew him, and the more so,
because of its suddenness. He was the
eldest son of Mfr. u. Il. Hoskins. of this
place, was just about grown, and had the
promise of II useful life ahead of him.
His sorrow stricken father and brothers
and sisters have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their sudden bcreave-
mcnt.

The towns of Brook haven and Halle
hurst will doubtless enter into lively
contest for the branch of the Illinois Cen
trial, in case it is built to Natchez. The
BROoKHAvEN LEADER refers TO the eff.
forts of the Hazlehnrst Signal to interest
its people in the road, iu the following
manner:
"The Copiah Signal is enthusiastically
discussing the prospects of a new railroad
from Natchez to HaZlehnrst Time and
Ink thrown away. neighbor. The next
railroad built east from Natchez will
strike the |. C. at Brookhaven. This ia
the place where the shrewd business man
will invest in real estate-the place for an
ice factory, big lumber manufacturers
cotton compress, etc."
We hope the rivalry between these two
prosperous little cities may result bene-
ticially, and hasten the building of the
road. We are disposed to encourage any
competition of this kind, as the greater
the inducements offered Mt that end of the
line, the more likely the road is to be
built at an early day. Let the contest
wax warm, and enthusiastic.-Natches
Banner.

About Printers Ink.

This is the day of printers ink aud the
prizes are for those who use it. Your ira
ditions and prejudices may he to the con-
trary, but the world doesn't care Il fig for
them. The man who sits and waits for
his trade in these days gets left. Don't
advertise, don't quote your price lists,
don't sec that your city or your business
is represented i'll your patrOnzinS terri
tory, and don't stand up manfully along
side of those who are fighting for your
rights and interests, and there can be but
one Notwithstanding up. Good sales
men, first class articles, gilt-edge credit
are not enough. They are excellent,
necessary-but not enough. Printers ink
beats them in the long ran. Uncle Sans
mails go every day, carrying their freight
of special offers. new crops, long credits,
cash discounts, job lots aud lovers tales
from every where. And in the end your
trade is seduced It's the wOrld-Old story
of the honeNcd tongue and the open ear.
In the fierce competition of these days old
habits and associations simply cannot
stand the pressure. The trade is for the
man who uses printers ink.-Groce'y
