The Lexington w. G.. L. U. recent
ly gave a reception to the students of
the State College. Supper was served
to 500 guests and there was a harvest
of pledged signers.
The text of the new law against the
sale in Mississippi of tobacco TO min
Ors Is as follows: "If any person sell,
barter, deliver, or give any cigar or
cigars, cigarette or cigarettes, smok-
ing tobacco, or snuff to any child un-
der the age of Is years, unless pre-
viOusly authorized in writing by the
parent or guardian of such child, he
shall be guilty of misdemeanOr, and,
on conviction, shall he fined not less
than 500, nor more than 800, or i'm
prisOned in the county Jail not less
than one week, or more than three
months, or both"
Catbarine Cole, in the New Orleans
Picayune, says: "The woman of to-
day, upon whose breast is not pinned
the white ribbon of temperance, or
the red ribbon of education, or the
cross of the Kings daughters, or the
badge of the Band of Mercy, or the
emblem of social purity, is behind her

Lady Henry Somerset, for the three
weeks preceding April IS, is at Wood
land Park Hotel, one mile from Au-
burndale and nine miles from Boston.
She has the same rooms that Mrs.
President Harrison and family had
when there year ago. She is busily
occupied with stenOgraphers, prepar-
ing her annual address for the British
Womcn's Temperance Association,
which meets May 3. She has been
rendered reception by the Mayor
and citizens of Liverpool, and has ar
ranged to address the people on the
day of her arrival in the city hall.
Her meeting at Pittsburg was great
success in every particular the flow
ers that were presented fIOm various
clubs were afterward sent by her to
the hospital, a valuable hint to other
of our hoDored men and women to
whom great many floral offerings
are made. Lady Henry and Miss
Willard are sitting to Miss Annie
Whitney. the famous sculptor, for
portrait busts. Lady Henry goes TO
Portland April for one night, where
she will speak in the City Hall, and
will be the guest of Neil Dow. She
will also lunch at NewburypOrt
with the poet Whittier, and will speak
at fremont Temple, Boston, on April
Z. Miss Willard and Miss Gordon ae-
company her on these trips. Her son,
Mr.. Henry SOmers Somerset, has been
hunting in the Sierras with his tutor
for weeks past, and writes that he
never saw a country or a climate so
heavenly. He will join his mother in
New York, and they will sail on the
Teutonic, White Star Line, April 13.
A thousand new names have been
enrolled on the pledge list on the w.
C. T. L. and other temperance assOci-
ations at Pittston, Pa, as the result of
a series of gospel meetings conducted
by d. H. Burrwell, of Ohio.

The Ocala Demands.

la. We demand the abolition of national
banks.
b. We demand that the government shall
establish Sub-Treasuries or repositories in the
several States, which shall issue money direct to
the people at low rate of interest, not to ex-
ceed per cent per annum, on non-perishabie
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality of land and
the amount of money.
G. We demand that the amOnnt of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
q That we demand that Congress shall pass
such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing
in futures OF all agricultural and mechanical
productions providing stringent system of
procedure In trials that will secure prompt
conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law.
8. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand In lieu thereof the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
4. We demand the passage Of laws prohibiting
alien ownership OF land and that Congress take
prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all
lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates, and that all lands now held by railroads
be reclaimed by the government, and held for
actual settlers only. faf,
s. Believing In the doctrine of equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none we demand
a. That our national legislation shall be so
framed In the future as not to build up one In
dustry at the expense OF another.
b. We further demand removal OF the exist
ing heavy tariff tax from the necessities of life,
that the poor OF our land must have.
c. We further demand just and equitable
system of graduated tax on incomes.
d. We believe that the money OF the country
should be kept as much Us possible In the hands
OF the people. and hence we demand that all
national and State revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expenses OF the government econ
omically and honestly administered
6. We demand the most rigid, honest and Just
state and national governmental control and
supervision of the means OF public commtl-
nicafion and transportation, and II this con-
troll and supervision does not remove the abus-
es now existing, we demand the government
ownership OF such means OF communication
and transportation
I. We demand that the Congress Of the United
States submit an amendment TO the Constitution
providing for the election OF United States
Senators by direct vote OF the people OF each
State. f4

4 Plea for the Negro.

DR.. j. b. Gambrell makes the fol-
lowing plea for the education of the
negro in the Meridian Tribune
Ignorance is Il heavy load for peo-
pie to carry. The fact is, they can't
carry it very far. 1t will bear them
down. There is not prosperous
State anywhere where the people are
ignorant.
From a financial standpoint alone,
we ought to do our best to educate
the colOred people. An intelligent
iaborer will accomplish far more and
be of much less trouble to the employ
er than an ignorant labOrer.
The south is fairly entering upon a
great industrial development. Intel
ligence must lead in it and intelligence
must work it out along all the lines of
human activity. The negroes are so
great portion of our population that
we cannot afford to have them ignO-
rant.
But there are higher views to be
taken by all religious and philan-
thropic people. Intellectual and NOR
al education make character, and
character makes happiness. Wheth-
er education and religion will help
the negro is not question among
thoughtful people. They have ele-
waited and civilized every tribe and
race where they have been tried.
They will do, in time, for the negroes
after their natural workings.
Sometimes We hear it said that the
old time uneducated negro is better
than the latter specimens of the race.
Very likely, but let us not make
the mistake of supposing that the old
time negroes were not educated. They
were, as rule, thoughtfully trained
by their masters. They could not
read, but they got the benefit of their
masters reading.
That cannot be any longer nobody
wants it to be. The whites can no
longer be eyes for the blacks. 1t is
the duty of the Northern people, who
brought the negroes here, and the
Southern people, who held them in
bondage, to unite in strong, well
sustained, wisely directed effort to put
the negroes on their feet intellectually
and morally.
Let that be done, and they will be q
blessing to themselves and add much
to the national wealth.

NOTES ON FARMING.
The Farmers Work Likened to
the Christian Warfare.
Man Was not Created to Starve,
Beg or to Go to Hell.
The Language of Experience
and Wisdom.
Editor Mississippi Leader:

Editor Mississippi Leader:
In my second and last, mentioned
a few of the important details of farm
ing, such as preparing the soil, plant
ing and cultivating the crop. In this
| will add, and emphasize the import
ance of preparing the soil, especially
for corn.
1t should be done by bedding the
lands thoroughly and deep in the
month of February, giving time to dry
ont and warm before planting, so the
grain will come up early and grow
fast. Tenth of March is early enough
to plant corn in Mississippi, as stated
before. Tenth of April is early
enough for first planting of cotton
second planting one month later.
Lands intended for cotton should be
freshly bedded just before planting.
The cultivation of both corn and cot
ton should commence when the plant
is fairly up, and repeated so as to keep
the grass from coming and the land
from baking or crusting after. hard
rams. There is striking analogy
between Christians and Il farmers
life. They have many details. These
details must be studied. if either
thrives as designed by an all-wise
Providence. Man was not created to
starve, beg. or to go to hell. The
means to prevent it consist in what
we do and do not. The possibilities
of success are placed within the reach
of every man. Success in farming as
in every thing else, requires the exer-
else of what brain we have, as well as
muscle. My experience and observa
ton for the past sixty years prove to
me, that going IN debt, neglecting
small matters, and Fastening to be-
come rich have produced more disap-
pointment, poverty and distress, than
any other three things. Add to this,
the use of whisky and tobacco, and
card playing, and the wonder is that
there is not more complaint of hard
times than there is.
1t is not so much the scarcity of
money and low price of cotton, as the
things referred to that produce hard
times among farmers. | was very
small farmer when cotton brought on
ly three cents, and money scarcer than
it has ever been since. | was out of
debt, and never more prosperous and
happy than then. My success far
exceeded my expectations, attribu-
table, | think, to my trying to do
my duty, placing my trust in God.
and feeling thankful for results.

FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR.
A Mississippi Newspaper Back
in the FOrties.

The Tribune has been shown a copy
of the Eastern Clarion, dated "Pauld
ing, June Is, 1910" The Tribune's
good friend s. o. Edmonson, of the
Edmonson House, owns the paper,
which he prizes very highly, because
in it is published the marriage notice
of his father and mother. Nearly fif-
ty-two years ago this little five col
umn folio was sent ont to enlighten
the denizens. of the new country.
In looking over the faded sheet, one
cannot help thinking how like it used
to be it is even now.
There is the marriage notice of a
Mr.. Fish and Miss Sheppard. The
chrOnicler becomes poetic and says:
And for their future happiness
They have our kindcSt wishes,
Hoping they may have their share
Ofl0aYes and little Fishes.
There is Presidential election
pending. The Republican ticket,
Martin Van Buren, of New York, for
President, and Richard NJ. johnson,
of Kentucky, for Vice President. The
Republican Whig ticket, VIM. Henry
Harrison, of Ohio, for President, John
Tyler, of Virginia, for Vice President.
S. S. Prentiss heads the list of electors
for Harrison and Tyler.
There is a log cabin song for Harri-
son and plenty of campaign talk
about like we have now. Mr.. Waiter
son had made a speech, arraigning the
Harrison convention. He wanted to
know where the bone and sinew of
the country was, "farmers, mechanics
and working men," We hear the like
now. The convention was said to
have been composed of 'lawyers,
bank officers, merchants, manufactur-
ers, planters, spectators, doctors,
parsons, wing editors, school masters,
lottery men, abolitiOnists, apostates
from Democracy: farmers, mechanics
and workingmen."
There is an account of stealing
and the capture of thief. The arbi-
tration of the boundary line between
Maine and the British Dominion is
mentioned. Depression of business is
mentioned with some signs of i'm
provement. There are many legal ad-
vertisements aud brief notices of
preaching and other current events.
In short, tifty-two years ago things
were moving along after the natural
way. The Eastern Clarion then
showed skillful hand at the helm and
gave promise of what it became, the
leading paper of its section.
S. r. Adams was editor and the
subscription was put at So a year.
The paper was printed weekly.--Me-

The Prohibition Party Outlook
Pass Christian, Miss.

Hon. Samuel Dickey, chairman of
the National Prohibition Executive
Committee, says in the current num-
Der of the Semi Monthly Bulletin:
"The Prohibition Party is doing
more work and better work during
these spring months than it has ever
before done at q corresponding period
of the year. There is activity and
hope and courage everywhere. The
fusiOns idea seems to be pretty gener
ally abandoned and the determination
to make an aggressive and vigorous
campaign characterizes our workers in
all parts of the country. Indications
everywhere are encouraging. Our
meetings are large, our newspapers are
increasing in influence and in their ag-
gregate circulation. Our party COM
mittees were never so we'll sustained
financially as at present. Where COM
mittees National, State and county,
had one dollar at command four years
ago it can be demonstrated that we
have ten to-day. With more money,
better organization, and an equal de-
termination of purpose, the party is
certain to make the campaign of 1892
a memorable one. Conventions so far
held are marked by old-time enthusi-
asm and a business-like attention to
the task that betokens much for the
future

The report of the majority of the
congressional committee in the Rock
well -Noyes contested election case
from New York, reflects seriously on
Mr.. Hills course as governor. The
report says that the face of the re-
turns showed Noyes to be legally en-
titled to the issuance of certificate
and its issuance to Rockwell in face
of the evidence, a palpable disregard
of the law. In view of the fact that
the govern )r issued the certificate,
that the case was in his own home
district, the committee certainly knew
that Gov. Hill could not have been
ignorant of the details of the case.
and for this reason the reports reads
like an arraignment of Mr.. Hill per-
sonally, although his name is not
mentioned in the report.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-04-14

The Alliance have placed their de-
mands before the cOun ry, and these
demands are right and just yet both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties repudiate these demands and de-
nounce the Alliance as third party
cranks, fiat intiatiOnists, centralistS
and socialists. Yet what do they de-
mand ? Do they ask for anything
more than has already been granted
to others? Let us see. The princi-
pal demands can be stated in few
words, viz: Stop the payment of inter-
est by placing bondholders on the
same footing with others, and pay his
demands as you pay others. Let him
receive What the day laborer receives
for his work. Adopt and act on the
motto that what is money for one is
money for all. Add to the taxable
property of the country by such legis-
latiOn as will force idle capital from
the bank vaults into actual circula-
ton and conver bonds into currency
and protect laborers more and bank
ers, bondholders and corporations
less. Appeal -4ralanche.
That is odd talk for paper that a
year ago was referring to Alliancemen
sneeringly as "subordinates and sub
alternsn who had no conception of the
reforms the country needed, but it
shows our Memphis eotemporary is
ahead of its party and that it is get
ting its eyes open at last.

Facts From History.

Since it came into power, more than
thirty years ago, the Republican
party has taken every presidential
candidate from the West, with one
exception.
Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and
Harrison were all Western men.
Only once has the party put for
ward an Eastern candidate-Mr.
Blaine in 1SS+-and only in that year
has it been defeated.
These are historical facts which it is
worth while for the Democrats to
think about.-Ne,C York World.

A meeting of anti-Hill Democrats
in Buffaloe, New York, declare that OF
the $4,000 men who voted the Demo
cratic ticket in Erie county last No
vember, less than 1000 were repre-

1000, all told, attended the 142 pri-
maries which elected the Erie dele
gates to that convention.
