WHAT !: 4: 4; !: 1T 1T DONE DO

The original and only genuine Compound OXy-
gen treatment that of Drs. Starkey & Palen, is
a scientific adjustment of the elements of OXy-
gen and Nitrogen magnetized; and the compound
is so condensed and made portable that it is sent
all over the world.
1t has been in use for over twenty years;
thousands of patients have been treated, and
over one thousand physicians have used it and
recommended it-a very significant fact.
"Compound Oxygen-Its Mode of Action and
Results is the title of book of 200 pages,
published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which give
to all enquirers full Information as to this re-
markable curative ageut and a good record OF
surprising cures in wide range of chronic
cases-many of them after being abandoned to
die by other physicians.
Will be mailed free to any address on appli-
cation. DRs. STARKEY & FALLEN.

The Memphis A

The Memphis AppeaI-Ava-
lanche is against the issuance of
State bank notes and remarks
that certified checks, clearing
house certificates and State bank
notes are based ON the belief that
YOU can convince the other fellow
that you have plenty of money.

practicable. Whether it is steal
ing the registration books from
the clerks office, as they did in
Monroe, to prevent an expression
of the popular will or, organizing
and massing the negroes against
the whites as they did in the last
local option elections in Kinds
and Lauderdale, they are equally
unscrupulous. In Lowndes coun-
ty liquor men, who had been bla-
tant for white supremacy and pro-
fessed to be lifelong Democrats,
were not willing to submit this
question to primary election in
which only the white voters of
that county were to participate.
Practically the same proposition
was recently made by Mr.. Lon
gino and other Prohibition lead
ers of Lefore, and ignored or
spurned by the representatives
of the saloon. Men who are loud
in their professions of democracy
at other times, and are ready to
keep Sambo away from the polls
with Winchesters when it comes
to political election, will turn
right about in local option con-
test and overslaugh the best white
people and outrage white suprem-
acy, decency and morality by
massing the negroes at the polls
for the saloon.
This is the spirit of the liquor
traffic and it is the same the coun-
try over. In its last analysis it
has no politics but whisky, no
patriotism save the indulgence of
its own RIGHTEOUSNESS, no god but
mammon. The spirit which ami
mates it in Mississippi and else
where would not hesitate to sac
rifce any political party, place
black heels on white necls, tram
pie down the affairs of the living
God and abolish the Christian
Sabbath and turn it into a Bac-
chanalian holiday, if it had the
power and all this were necessary
to crafty its lust.
What amazes us is, that sensi-
BILE men like Mr.. Haley do not or
Will not sec all this, but are 90
ing along giving their support to
a political party that has taken
this villainous traffic under its es-
pecial guardianship. 1t now
dominates that party nationally
with a rod of iron, and, having
no ruling principle but selfinter-
est and self-indulgence, would be-
tray and desert it or any other at
1.-THE slightest attempt to throttle
it. With all the good men in this
Nation who are opposed to the Ii
quor traffic and its annual harvest
of villainy, crime, .wretchedness
and waste, modified under one
banner and in one political party,
it's doom would be sealed at the
next election. But let them con-
tinue divided as they now are,
with politicians and old party
managers as we find them, and it
will live on and on subverting
and degrading every thing sub
jected to its polluting touch.
The LEADER utters its solemn
warning and here and now pre-
diets that scores and thousands of
good men in Mississippi who are
today giving their adherence to a
party which at one and the same
time grotesquely poses as the
champion of white supremacy and
godfather to the liquor traffic,
will live to see and repent their
folly. If they go on, as they are
now going they are but nursing a
viper and sowing deadly dragons
teeth which in future years will
spring into life to curse their
children and their children's chill
dren. God help them to see and
correct their error before it is too
late.

SPIRIT OF THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.
viii Vote the Negro or do Any
Thing Else to Accomplish
It's DebaSing Ends.


The following letter, copied
from the Greenwood Enterprise,
reveals the tactics to which the
saloon men are resorting to carry
Leforo county for whisky in the
local option election to be held
next Saturday, 14th inst:
EDITOR ENTERPRISE: With the
hope that | may do some good
and cause some to think seriously
on a subject that is before the
people, | ask little space in the
columns of The Enterprise. 1t
is not my wish to express my
views as to Local Option, for on
that subject | am willing to abide
by the decision of the majority of
the white people. When this
question was first agitated hoped
it would be settled amicably and
without that bad feeling which
often springs up in such contro-
yersies. | also hoped that it
would be settled by white people
only, and | could not bring my
self to believe for moment that
either side would undertake to
register and vote the negro, but
in this l was mistaken. 1t is
with deep regret and serious ap-
prehension, l find that in various
parts of the county there are men
riding, hunting up the negro, and
insisting upon him registering,
and even paying his way to and
from Greenwood. l also find,
without a single exception that
these men are extreme whisky
men. | have talked with good
many of the best men of our
county, and men with different
opinions as to the advisability of
local option; all agree that it is
wrong and dangerous to bring
the negro back into politics, and
condemn the acts of those men.

What object can the few men
have who are registering these
negroes 1t is certainly not
from principle. Is there a finan-
cial interest great enough to JUS
tify the act! Are they doing it
because they think the white peo-
pie of the county incapable of
Judging and acting for them
selves! Or are they afraid that
a majority of the white people
will vote against their wishes and
wish to control them with a set
of ignorant negroes: Or part
company with the best interests
of the county and future safety
of our homes! Let it be either,
it should fill the minds of every
man and child with apprehension
and horror. l know the best ell
ement of the negro is willing to
risk the Judgment of the white
people in deciding this question.
And the attempts Of a few white
men to place the balance OF pow
er in the hands of a few of the
worst element Of the negro should
be looked upon with scorn and
contempt by every true man in
Lefore, and should not be toler-
ated. The people in every neigh
borhood should, for the good of
the negro, advise him to stay at
home on the day of the election.
The negro who persists in voting
will find out that those who used
him as tool are his worst ene-
my. And those who persist in
voting the negro are the worst
enemy to the negro and the best
interest of our county, and will
live to see the day that they will
regret their folly. In the last
few days / have heard several
men say they had intended to vote
wet ticket, but since the agita-
ton of the negro question they
are now determined to vote dry
ticket. l believe there will be d
great number of men in Le6ore
county who will take this view OF
the question and will teach those
few men a lesson they will never
forget.

Sept. 26, 1898.
In pursuing the course indica-
ted in this letter, and at which
Mr.. Haley expresses such sur
ment, the whisky men of Lefore
county are guilty of nothing new
whatever to those who have OBJ
served and are acquainted with
the methods of the liquor traffic.
The spirit of the men who engage
in and support this traffic, is SO
unpatriotic, selfish, sordid and
withal satanic, that they viii not
