From the e:0S "a of Maud s.

I One afternoon recently several hundred
expectant spectators were gathered at the
Waltham (Mass.) bicycle track to see
Father Time knocked out. Julian Pye
Bliss, the famous record breaker and
"Pocket Hercules Of Chicago, was to go
against the mile record Of / minute So
seconds, flying start, made by John S.
johnson ON the same track June &c.
There was buzz of excitement as three
tandems ridden by half dozen well
known riders appeared upon the track,
and cheer arose as little Bliss joined
them and circled tho smooth metalithic
surface of the course in order to get well
warmed up for the effort Of his life.
There was deathlike silence as the first
tandem team came toward the tape with
a rush and with little Bliss close behind
and bending to his work. Every watch
was out as the wheels flashed across the
tape, and when the handkerchief fell as a
signal that the flying mile was on yell
of encouragement arose that was heard
half a mile. The tandem riders were bent
double and pedaling like mad, and every

PROF. JAMES A. TATE.

The speech of Prof. James A. Tate,
editor of the Pilot, Nashville, Tenn,
and member of the National Prohibi-
ton Committee for that State, was a
notable feature of last Wednesdays
State Convention at jackson. Prof.
Tate spoke at night in the Senate
chamber to miscellaneous audience,
and it is no exaggeration to say his
speech was one of the strongest and
most logical deliverances in support of
the Prohibition party ever heard in
this State. Prof Tate is one of those
speakers who is fairly bubbling over
with good humor, and he carries his
audience along with him from start to
finish, keeping them smiling and
laughing more than half the time,
even while ciinching some of his most
telling arguments. We are pleased to
announce in this connection that the
Chairman of the new State Executive
Committee contemplates having Prof.
Tate spend a month in Mississippi
during the summer, speaking in the
principal centres of population, land If
this arrangement can be effected, a
genuine boom for the Prohibition par
ty may be confidently expected.

Attribute OF RESPECT.

Resolutions Adopted by Copiah County
Alliance in memory of w. NJ. Kethiey.
Whereas, w. NJ. Kethley, .our presi-
dent. has recently been taken from us
in the providence of God: and,
Whereas, By his virtues, his ability
and his high toned sentiment, he had
endeared himself to all who knew him;
by his upright, manly course he has
left an impress upon our minds that
he died as he had lived, an honest man,
the noblest work of God.
In the Alliance he was ever foremost
i'm advocating it's principles. He was
bold and never faltered in what he be-
lieyed to be true Alliance doctrine, but
always ready, as true Alliance man,
to succor those in need; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we bear willing testi-
mony to the ability and fidelity with
which our president fulfilled the trust
confided in him by this order. That in
his death our order has lost a true and
loyal brother and her dearest rights
and interests bold defender.
Resolved second, That while lament
ing his death we will ever recall with
mournful pleasure the frank and gen.
ial nature, heightened character and
gallant and chivalric bearing which
made our president welcomed to every
heart.
Resolved third, That we tender to
his family our heartfelt sympathy in
their hours of deepest affiiction and
invoke upon them the blessings of
Him who has promised his guidance to
them, bowed down under affection.
Resolved fourth, That a copy oflthese
resolutions be forwarded to the family
of the deceased and also be spread
upon our minutes.
Resolved fifth, That we send copy
to The Peoples Messenger, paper
published in the interest of the ALI
ance, by Capt. Frank Burkitt at Oko-
Iona, and also to The MISSISSIPPI
LEADER, published at Brookhaven, for
publication.
Adopted by Copiah County Alliance

T-A-R-E-E-F REFORM.

The tremendous tariff issue, over
which the..campaign..o of 1892 was'fought,
for which millions of dollars were
spent and thousands of torchlight pa
rades were held, seems now to give a
pain to many people who thought the
fate of the country depended upon the
issue. After great uprising to secure
tariff reform, here is the way Henry
Watterson describes what has been SO
far secured, namely, the Senate bill:
A mongrel piebald of patches and
pusillanimity, a grotesque hodgepodge
of pretense and pettifogging, monde
script abortion Of ineompetency, self
lshness, cowardice, and treachery.
Senator Brice is not so fluent; he
calls it "a free lunch" And it was to
get this that tens of thousands of men
who hate the saloon, '.just this once
more" voted against their sentiments
on the drink issue because they didn't
want to "throw away their votesr'-The
Voice.

some good work with their needles, as
Hic has learned. They are an ener-

new features soon.
We have good Sunday School; but
still, there is room for improvement.
