there would have been nothing to mar
the pleasure the large number of visit

one place being allowed for the sale in
each county, upon petition to that eff

ernOr has recently purchased the liq-
uors the State is to furnish to the dis
pensaries. and taken great pains to Sc
cure pure article. In his rules regu-
lating the sale he says that saloons
shall not be opened before a. m. and
shall close at 6p. IN. He estimates
that the annual sales of the dispense

$4,000 will be profit. No liquor is al
lowed to be drunk on the premises
when sold.

AFRAID OF LIGHTNING.

1t would he difficult TO overestimate
the influence of Reform newspapers, If
the friends of Prohibition aud real
political reform would work to get them
into the hands of those who most need
their influence Noclass more keenly
appreciate the power and effect of this
influence than the very ones whom it
is most needful to reach.
Last year the editor of The LEADER
solicited prominent citizen and
church member of Jackson to sub
scribe for the paper. This gentleman
knew the LEADER by general reputa-
ton to he Prohibition paper and he
was an anti. NO." was his ready. but
courteous reply. 81 am afraid to read
your paper. I'm fond of dram and 1t
might make me convert to Prohibi-
ton, and you see / don't want to bc
converted"
The latter portion of this answer was
construed at the time as piece OF
pleasantly, but as that gentleman con
tlnues to drink whisky freely and sign
the Jackson liquor petitions, he no
doubt meant in earnest just what he
said.
Along about the same time we were
one day talking with preacher who
had been one of the most pronounced
and aggressive Prohibitionists i'll the
State. and not averse to expressing
himself in decided way either public
ly or privately on political issues. and
asked him how it was he didn't take
the New York Voice, the greatest and
most ably edited Prohibition newSpa-
per in all the country. "lou see. he
said. in a testing tone. The Voice is
political Prohibition paper, and I'm
afraid if read it much it will have me
going back on the good old Democratic
party"
The last words were spoken in II tone
of half irony but later in the year
when we saw that same preacher open
ly giving his influence to a party with
a whisky plank in its platform. and
supporting candidate for Congress
who had voted in that body to expose
every foot of Prohibition territory in
Mississippi to original package saloons
and undo the Prohibition work it had
taken this preacher and his co workers
years to accomplish, we were CON
vinced he was serious and meant
lust what his words expressed.
He was really afraid of the power of
the stubborn facts and arguments that
he knew would weekly address them
selves to his intelligence if he read
The Voice, so, preacher as he was, he
tried to keep his conscience quiet and
ward off the lightning of honest con
viction by refusing to read the paper.
And, singularly enough, too. this same
preacher had often wondered why sim
ners wouldn't come to hear him preach.
Let US get our reform literature into
he hands of the people. That is one
