A meeting of New Democrats at
BuffalOe-
Resolved, That whatever may have
been the estimation in which Senator
Hill has been held in the past by the
Democrats of this State, it is now evil
dent the course he has pursued with
reference to the vital issues of the
tariff reform and honest money, his
INSCRIPTIONS political methods in this
State since last November, his un-
seemly and disgraceful efforts to OBJ
tain the presidential nomination and
his continuous and cOntemptuous neg
lect of senatorial duty have estranged
from his support nine-tenths of the
Democratic voters in the State, and
his nomination or the nomination OF
any man supposed to be subject to
his influence or control would result
in the overwhelming defeat of the ma
tional ticket in the State.

The electiep on Thursday passed
off quietly. The vote was small, as
the figures show. Total vote 54S, of
which about 17S were colored.
1t was a funny little election in enc
respect at least. For instance, at
this precinct when the voter walked
up to the polls he found variety of
tickets; when he inquired which was
the proper ticket to vote, he was told
to take his choice. This was free and
easy and comfortable and seemed to
be satisfactory to all.
A majority Of the white vote no
doubt was against the sale and if this
is so prohibition will come - Wood

Hon. J. w. Bailey, the eloquent
and talented young Mississippian who
went to Texas few years ago, now a
Representative in Congress from that
State, received, next to Mr.. Mills, the
highest vote in the Texas Legislature
for U. S. Senator. Mr.. Bailey is a
young man of great promise, and the
stand he has taken in Congress against
open violations of the Constitution
will still further elevate him in the es-
TEEN of the people.

100000 PROHI. VOTERS.
The Agreement Plan for Sc
curing That Number.
Now is the Time to Push the
Scheme i'm Mississippi.

What is known as the Million Voters
Agreement for securing 100000
voters pledged to vote the Prohibit
toin party ticket in the presidential
election of 1892, is already familiar to
many readers of the LEADER. 1t was
originated by the Voice last fall, and
has grown in favor with Prohibition
lists throughout the country from the
day of its publication. The plan has
met with the hearty endorsement of
Chairman Dickey and every member
of the National Prohibition Party Ex-
ecutive Committee. The committee
now has active supervision of the
work and is pushing the agreement in
all of the States.
Agreement blanks are furnished
free, and the names, as they are sent
in, are counted and audited under the
supervision of two members of the
Prohibition party. and a well known
member each of the Democratic, Peo-
ple's and Republican parties, to insure
perfect fairness.
The following is
THE AGREEMENT.
We, the undersigned, being profoundly int
pressed ,oih the aggressive poUer of the IL
quOr traffic aud the Overwhelming erils, po-
liical, industrial and moral, grOviRg ont of
it, beliere that a strong influence Coud be er-
erted upon public sentiment and long step
taken tocard the eradication Of those erils if
the enemies Of the liquor traffic Would present
as united front as the liquor dealers present
rhen their business is attacked. We there
fore agree 10 rote, al the Presidential election
in 1892, for the candidates Of the Prohibi-
ton Party for President and Vice- President,
prOrided the signatures of one million roters
be secured TO this agreement.
A great many persons who endorse
the objects and aims of the Prohibi-
ton party, hesitate to vote for its can
didates because they regard it as a
vote thrown away. Here is the op-
portunity to enter into an agreement
with 100000 other voters in advance
of the election, to vote for candidates
representing Prohibition principles.
If the million signers are not secured,
no one is bound by the agreement.
With that many pledged votes, it
would give an impetus to this move
ment which would insure it the bal
ance of power in this years contest
and give it control of the government
in 1896.
Agreement blanks can be had free
on application to the LEADER, the
Voice, of New York, or the National
Prohibition Executive Committee, and
when signed, they can be returned to
either, and the names will be correct
ly recorded by the committee having
that duty in charge.
SO far, very little effort has been
made in Mississippi. Let Prohibi
tionists and members of the w. c. T.
U. take the matter in hand in their
respective communities and begin
pushing it at once.

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition OF our coun-
try imperatively demands unity OF action on
the part of the labOring classes, reformation
and economy and the dissemination OF prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour-
aging the toiing masses-leading them in
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, Just ex-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the labOring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all monopOies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subyert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers OF American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies: .f-
/. To labor for the education Of the agricul-
tural classes In the science Of economical gov
ernment, In a strictly non-partisan spirit and
bring about more perfect union of said
classes.
2. That we demand equal rights to all, and
specialfavors to none.
8. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sential, unity and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally, morally.
socially and financially.
5. TO constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which 1t gamers, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of brother or sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
phans to exercise charity toward all Offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good Intentions to others and to protect the
principle. OF the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, its intention is "0n earth,
peace and good will to man."

Twas in church on a summers day.
Outside the fields were ''sweet with hay"
The people came-the bell was rung,
The organ pealed-the dirge was sung,
The son lay dead in his casket there,
The preacher rose and READ a prayer.
The mother kneels beside the bier,
The father sheds a piteOus tear.
This tale is old, but then it's true.
How many men?-ah, very few
Can call to mind what they have done
To lift their brothers fallen son,
They'll gather roses when he's dead
To place above his lowly head.
They'll sing the song which fashion makes,
But give no cheer to the heart that aches.
They'll march around in pomp and style,
But feel within their breasts meanwhile
No tender thrill of sympathy
For those whose hearts heave many sigh
Tonight, I've told before you, friends.
That same sad tale that never ends.
The tale you've heard, but gave no care,
No smile, no thought, no tear. no prayer.

A strange Method a: non,,.rx.

For more than a year the people liv-
ing N the vicinity Of the City o. Mexico
have been much mystitied and alarmed
over peculiar attacks which we're made
on oelated travellers who happened to be
within o radius Of twenty miles % tho
city after dark. No deaths have oc-
Cured. but in each instance the party
attacked has been graspcd by the throat
by some apparently powerful animal,
which was SO strengthened that it shut
on the air at the first grasp and caused
the victim 10 faint. When conscious-
ness returned he found htmsely lying
with a bleeding throat and his pockets
riled Of their contents. The mystery
has ut last been solved. The strange
animal proves to be an enormous Dane
bloodhound, which its master has trained
to take down it's victims without killing
them. The man would then approach
and rob the unfortunate traveller. Tho
dog is dead now and the man is in jail.

"The number of opium flends,' aa

who S the drug in one form OF
another, and the station houses and
asylums are full of those who have
been pulled down by it. Whisky is
bad enough, but as to effects by the
side of opium all intoxicating liquors
amount to nothing, comparatively,
because its use is easily kept secret
until the victim of the habit is

disease-the lowest rounds of tho
ladder of human disgrace.
"The opium habit thrives in the
very highest ranks of society, and
comes down permeating all classes,
excepting the working mechanic
class, which is less tinctured with
the disease than any other. / don't
know why it is. but you don't find
many opium users among skilled
mechanics. 1t may be that men and
women who fashion things stimuli
taneously with brain and hand have
less craving for opiatcs. 1t is the
active brain worker and the restless
ldler-two cxtremes-who are prone
to fall before the deadly poppy plant.
The disease assails women and men
alike-and the women are the most
unfortunate, because harder to de-
tect. Respectable people, who would
consider it vulgar to drink in public,
and a lasting disgrace to get drunk
on liquor, will go around under the
influence of opium every day and re-
tire drunk with it every night. /

outgrowth of illness-acQuircd i'm

would look over the prescription

be astonished to see how widely
opium is used by physicians; and

The First Natural Gas.

The first natural gas discovered in
the United States was at Fredonia,
N. Y, in 1921. In that year a wom-
an went to a spring to draw water.
and as the night was dark she took u
lantern. On setting the lantern
down on the bank the rising gas
took fire, to her great alarm. The
gas was collected for use by inverting
large pots above the spring, but after
a time it was carried to a small tank
made of copper, and was supplied from
that to several houses, including a
tavern, that was lighted by it when
Lafayette passed through the village
in 1924.
