VOTE FOR KETHLEY.

The Prohibition party has no Sena-
torial candidate in Copiah and will
have none. The Peoples party in that
county is clear-cut and out-spoken
against the liquor traffic, and all Pro-
hibitionists, under these circum-
stances, ought to vote and work for
their candidate. Mr.. Willing, the Dem
ocratic nominee may be personally a
local option Prohibitionist, but he is
the nominee of a whisky party, and the
dog will wag the tail when it comes to
dealing with that question. The Dem
ocrats of Copiah secuted the idea of
endorsing Prohibition, because they
knew they could not do it without an
their party nationally. VIM.
Kethley is a Prohibitionist and he
stands on Prohibition platform. Vote
for Kethley.

A REQUEST.

We are approaching the close of the
old year and the beginning of the new.
1t is the season when great many
persons are deciding on the list of
newspapers and periodicals they will
take for the ensuing II months, GULL
ing out some and adding others. 1t is
the season of all others when good
and effective work can be done by the
friends Of reform papers in circulating
them, and this brings us to our re-
quest. We desire to request and earn
estly urge every single reader of The
LEADER who believes in the principles
it champions, to make a special effort
to send us, before Jan. LIST, one or more
new subscribers. We have set our
mark for a thousand neV subscribers
by the beginning of the New Year, and
unless you help us in the way indica-
ted, we can not reach it. When you
read this do not pass it over or throw
the paper aside and assume that it
is not addressed to YOU, for it is, if
you are in truth friend of prohibit
ton and all that is best in government.
THE LEADER is the one and only pa
per in Mississippi which has stood and
still stands firm, first, last and all the
time for the complete suppression of
the beverage liquor traffic, regardless
the men or political parties which
stand in the way of the contamination
of such policy. We expect to fight
our way to final victory on this line,
There are many evidences that the eff
forts of the paper are telling, but it is
not doing a 1.-THE of what it could
and would do, if every friend would
interest himself or herself in circulat-
ing it among the people.
We are offering a number of excel
lent clubbing combinations to subscri-
bers, and in addition to these, from
now until Jan. LIST, we offer that splen-
did family periodical, the Home and
Farm, one year FREE, to all subscribers
paying years subscription to THE
LEADER.
Now friends, reformers, all at it and
let us hear from you.

A white man, crazy drunk, murders
an inoffensive negro on the streets of
Hazlehurst and when tried for his life,
goes scott free. A few weeks after the
trial, inspired by liquor and with such
an example before his eyes, murder
Gus rufiian clubs the chief official of
the town to death under the very shad-
ow of the court house. Nothing strange
about that. "As We sow, so shall We also
reap" saith Jehovah. The astounding
thing is that Christian men and law
abiding citizens of that same town are
found clinging, with the grip Of death
itself to political party that says the
bloody traffic that produces such
shocking crimes as this shall go on
Great God! When will such men
awake to their responsibility and their
duty as Christian patriots!

Washington Hessing, the German ed

to openly endorse the anti-sumptuary
plank in the Democratic platform and
publicly bid for the saloon vote in his
letter of acceptance, has been reward
ed for his friendly advice by being APP
pointed postmaster of Chicago. Hes
sing went all the way to Buzzard Bay
to urge upon Candidate Cleveland the
importance of giving some recognition
to the liquor interests in his letter, as
surfing him he could not get the whis-

1t is Thought the Crew WAS "Bo ozed.''
1t is reportrd in railroad circles this
NOR ming that Conductor Marion, who
had charge of the freight train which
collided with the cannon ball, just as
soon as he saw what was the matter he
exclaimed: "My God, it has occurred,
and it can't be helped" He was seen
to go down the l. G. track and has not
been seen since. 1t is thought by some
that the freight crew was boozed, as it is
alleged they had plenty of time to side
track before the passenger came. The
railroad authorities will investigate the
cause of the wreck.-Jdckson Ne,cs.
If the investigation proves that "the
freight crew was boozed," ten to one it
will also prove that they thanked up
on liquor from Jackson's Evergreen
Saloon" which, by grace of Jackson's
voters, many alleged Christians includ-
ed, stands SO conveniently near the
Union depot.

No man in Mississippi has shown
more substantial interest in Christian
education, and none contributed so
munificently to it's promotion, as Major
r. w. Millsaps. In addition to the $751;
600 he has already given to establish
and endow Millsaps College, he now
proposes to duplicate annually any
amount the people and the church will
raise. The only limitation is that he
will give no more than $4,000 in any
one year, Bishop Galloway says he
will see to it that the Major will have
to reach down in his pocket for good
many thousands of dollars. He thinks
the proposition the most liberal one
yet made to the college amp that it in
sures it large endowment fund.

Mr.. VIM. Kethley, the nominee of the
Peoples party of Copiah county for
State Senator, had the misfortune to
get his right hand caught in a gin a
week ago yesterday. 1t was very badly
lacerated, and for time it was feared
amputation would be necessary, but a
friend writes that he is now getting
along well and will not withdraw from
the canvass in consequence of his inju-
ries. The LEADER tenders him its cor
dial sympathies and wishes him a
speedy recovery.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

Under the new Constitution, the Leg
islature, at its approaching short ses-
sion, is restricted to legislation on reve-
nue. and appropriation bills, and such
subjects as the Governor may specially
recommend by message. Aside from
providing for penitentiary farm and
the final abolition of the leasing sys-
tenn, which was omitted at the last ses-
sion, there is another subject of special
Importance which should receive the
attention of the Governor and Legisla-
ton at the coming session. We refer
to the repeal or amendment of the
present primary election law.
The trainers of this crude law, mani
festly started out on the assumption
that there would never be but one po-
litical party in the State and that to
guarantee this, the best thing to do was
to hedge all nominations (which it was
supposed would be equivalent to an
election), about with every possible
safeguard against fraud and unfair
ness, in order to avoid internal discord
and party disruption. The result was
they over shot the mark and trenched
entirely too far on matters that should
be left to the free and untrammeled
discretion of the people in the govern
ment of their party affairs. The law
has not given satisfaction to men Of
any party, and its provisions, so far,
have been only partially complied with
or contemporary ignored. 1t defeats
the very object it was intended to as
sure. It's rigid enforcement in all its
details would not only produce no end
of discord and confusion within party
lines, but increase general discord and
strife. To let it stand unenforced, a
dead letter on the statute book, is to
encourage contempt for all law,
something likewise to be avoided.
All that is really needed in the way
of primary election law is few SIM
pie provisions to insure fairness and
prevent fraud and undue haste in the
making of nominations, leaving the
people and party managers all the lib
erty otherwise they may see fit to ex
ercise. Such law would conform to
the spirit and intent of the Constitu-
ton.
This is certainly matter that should
receive the serious consideration of
Gov Stone and the Legislature. Be
fore another Legislature can meet to
change the law, unless an extra session
be called, candidates are to be nomi-
mated for every elective office in the
State from Governor to Constable.
With the present law unchanged and
an attempt at rigid enforcement, coup
led with the soreness already existing
in many quarters over the abridge-
ment of the elective franchise, and the
complicated by partisan ran
cor, a political pandemonium would be
precipitated such as has never been
witnessed in Mississippi

MAYOR WILLIAMSON MURDERED.

News reached here last night that
Mayor Williamson, of Hazlehurst, was

the head with club in front of the
court house steps. Miller was prompt
ly arrested and jailed, and little la

was also arrested as an accessory. A

One of the crying needs of the times
is more religious newspapers in this
country like the Tennessee Methodist
and Texas Baptist Standard, which
will teach the people the intimate rel
atious existing between their religious
and political duty. The latter paper
says truly in late issue: IF Christian
voters would quit voting for political
parties that license the liquor traffic
the saloon wouldn't live two years."
