Mr.. Wakely said that whoever covered his
S., 500 first would be given the preference by
Sullivan. Sullivan would prefer to fight
Mitchell. His second choice is Slavin and
his third Corbett. The latter has announced
that he Will be on hand on Tuesday next to

NEGRO SUPREMACY /!
1t Has Become a Political REM
iniscence in Mississippi.
Some Mighty Interesting Figures
on This Important Subject.
Misslssippi's New Constitution a
Guarantee of Future Safety.
The Whites Have an Ovcrwhelm
ing Majority of the Reg
istered Vote.

The LEADER presents below table
of statistics of vast interest to the peo-
pie of Mississippi at this time. 1t Is
worthy of careful thought and study.
The population of the State, white and
colored, is given by counties, and by
the side of this is given the new regis
tration of voters. The figures are Of
fetal and strictly reliable. Those on
population are obtained from the U. s.
Census report for 1890, and the regis
tered vote was furnished directly to
the LEADER by the county registrars Of
the several counties, and is official. 1t
will be noted that in the heaviest ne
gro counties like Monroe, Lowndes,
Kinds, Adams, Warren, Washington
and Yazoo, the white registered voters
have large majority. Only one coun-
ty shows negro majority-Quitman-
and that contains the smallest popula-
ton and the smallest registered vote
of any in the State except one-Pearl
River. Returns of the registered vote
have not been received yet from eight
counties. Four of these are "white
counties" and four "black," and will
not make a showing materially differ
ent from the rest:

FAIR PLAY.

1t Is hardly fair to class the
Third Party people In this State
as being opposed to white SUI
premacy. Such small ISLANDERS
lack great deal of being argu-
ment. Since the adoption of our
new Constitution there Is not the
slightest danger of white suprc-
macy being jeOpardized. The
people may safely divide into as
many parties as they see fit. On
local affairs and the currency
they have perfect right to differ

ists.-Vicksbtrg Commercial Herald

A WORD TO PROHIBITIoNIsTs.

En- requesting the address Of two men

attention to the interests of the Prohi-
bition party in their respective coun-
ties, i have received two favorable
responses. One of them says he will
speak and work for the million voters

something besides depend on senti-
ment In favor Of Prohibition and a
party to back 1t, and keep still and wait
for this sentiment to take care of it.
self Many Prohibitionists have dis
carded the Bible doctrine that man
shouldaprove his faith by his works.
So long as this Is the case the liquor
men and parties that are bidding for
the liquor vote, will not be in much
danger. They do not care what our
sentiments are so long as we do not
work for them. If the record to be
made at the ballot box in November
should turn out that the Prohibition
vote Is third or fourth, how will the
Christian men of this State and nation

Mrs. Smell Corrects n Reckless Statement
Made by DIR. womack

Mrs. Smell Corrects II Reckless Statement
Made by DIR. womack.
COLUMBUS, Miss, July 26, 1892.
DEAR LEADER:-Some time ago the
illustrious DR.. Womack of Clinton
Miss, wrote series of articles for the
Baptist Record, against the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Mis-
sissippi and also against the National
Union, under the caption: "Turn on the
Light" The Doctor has made state
ments recklessly. He accused Lady
Somerset of saying in her annual SER
mon, before our convention in Boston
that christianity is dead and spuri
GUS" adding that he thought instead
of calling ourselves "The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union" we
ought to style our organization sThe
Woman's 1nfidel Association" Some
weeks later / met DIR. Womack and
called his attention kindly to the fact
that he had altogether misquoted Lady
Somerset-that there was absolutely
no ground whatever for his charges.
He replied that he had written the ar
ticle in question In playful" spirit,
that he had quoted Lady Somerset
from memory, and that when he re.
turned home he would look up her ser.
mon and make the proper correction
and acknowledgement in the Record.
This conversation occurred in May. ]
have never seen any correction In the
Record, and the statement against
Lady Somerset and our Union has been
allowed to go for the truth to the great
denomination of our Baptist friends
II foEn fhfc r,nnfhn1 Of fhof M
one can bring forth one word that
Lady Somerset ever wrote or spoke
that even sounds like the charges con-
tanned against her In DR.. Womack's
article. He does not call her name,
but speaks of her as the one who gave
us our annual sermon. Lady Somer-
set did say: "Christ is not to be judged
by dead and spurious Christianity y
indeed from saying christianity is
dead ''so-called" Christianity in the
by the false Christ but by the Christ
who is indeed our Savior that his prin-
ciples are to be judged. This Is plain
enough.
Perhaps In his ABSORPTION in preach
ing his sermon ON "Woman" DR.. Wo-
mack has forgotten his promise to cor
rect his statement in the Record. But
when the slight is indeed turned on
Will not the people take all his articles
against the w. G. T. u. at their proper
value, when they see how playful" the
Doctor can be in his careless charges.
What may be fun to the Doctor may
be considerable injustice to the women.

Though the disproportion between

Though the disproportion between
the number of white registered voters
and white population is far less than in
case of the blacks, the number of white
registered votes is out of all proportion
with former years; SO that the differ
ence between the white and negro reg
istered vote cannot be attributed to
any unlawful discrimination against
the negro. This falling off in the regis
tration Is Immediately attributable to
three things: ~ The Increased restric-
tons imposed by the new Constitution;
~ that an entirely new registration
was required this year, and 81 that
there was comparatively SO little polit-
ical excitement during the few months
allowed for registration, thousands
who we're qualified to register neglect
ed to do so until too late.
Mississippi's new Constitution was
framed to make it possible to have fair
and honest elections in Mississippi,
and for the whites to divide as they
please on political questions, without
jeopardizing white supremacy. This
1t has done. Senator George himself
is authority on this point.
Among the many excellent provisions
of the article on the elective franchise,
is the following, taken from section
249:
Registration under the
Constitution and laws Of this State Shy
the proper officers of this State. is
hereby declared to be an essential and
necessary qualification to vote at any
and all elections
Right under that we quote what the
Supreme Court of Mississippi said in
an opinion delivered the latter part of
May in the case of Robt Sproule VS.. f.
A. Fredericks, in the contested election
case from Warren county:
1.-THE regulation OF the right of suf-
/ frage belongs to the State, and the only

nation against persons on account OF
race or color. II is an idle consump-
ton of time to talk of this rs at all
doubtful. Tho Supreme Court of the

firmed it,
In view Of facts and figures like the
above, the twaddle so popular In GER

vote for the candidates Of the New

the dignity Of respectable nonsense. 1t

WHAT CAPT. BURkITT SAYS.
Capt. Frank Burkitt, State Alliance
Lecturer, has Travelled over Mississip-
pi more and become better acquainted
with the sentiments of the farmers
than any other man in the State. Last
week while in Jackson he told the edi-
tor of the LEADER, and repeated it,
that he is convinced from his knowl-
edge, obtained as above, that nine out
of every ten Alliancemen in the State
are Prohibitionists- This but confirms
the opinion the LEADER already enter
tanned, and should make every preacher
and moral citizen of the State a friend Of
and sympathizer with the Alliance and
its objects. When the decisive strug-
gle comes between the liquor traffic
and other immoral and corrupt agen-
cies in this country, the votes of the
+unpurchased and unpurchasable yeo-
many of the country, combined with
the smaller moral forces of the towns,
must be the chief reliance for victory.
The LEADER twill stand by the farmers
until the last day in the morning" be-
cause while they may make their mis-
takes, 1t knows they want nothing but
what is right and just and for the best
interests of the whole country.
