Unlawful to Rattle.

The following section is copied from
the Annotated Code of 1892 for the in
formation of some people in this com
munity and elsewhere who onot seem
to be aware of it's existence:
Sec. 1908. RAFFLEs-If any per-
son, in order to raise money for him
self or another, shall publicly or pri-
vately put up or in any way offer any
prize or thing to be rallied or played
for, he shall, upon conviction be fined
not more than $1,000, or be imprisoned
not more than one month in the coun-
ty Jail.
From this it will be seen that any
person guilty of rafting which is only
one of the many forms of gambling
is liable to indictment by the grand
jury and fine or Jail sentence with
cost of prosecution. Let our officials
see to it that the law is enforced.

The Man for County Treasurer,

EDITOR LEADER:-There are so many
good men running for the office of
County Treasurer at the July primary,
that many people will find it difficult
to decide between them. There is not
one who isn't good citizen of the
county, and any of them would make
an honest and conscientious treasurer.
All of us, however. will have to make a
choice from the list, and for myself,
after weighing the subject carefully, l
have decided to give my vote and in
f1uence, for whatever they may be
worth, in favor of your worthy towns
man, E. Bowsky. ELIAS" Bowsky, as
he is called by his friends, is pre-emi-
nently qualified for this important Of
flee. He is thoroughly good business
man, courteous, honest and capable.
That is what the people want, and no
question of prejudice should cut any
figure in the matter. He has been a
citizen and merchant of Brookhaven
J ever since 1866, coming here when a
very young man. He has always been
sober, conservative and fair in his
dealings. A thing can be said Of Mr..
Bowsky which can be said of few mer-
chants in BrOokhaven or anywhere
else in Mississippi, and that is, during
his long business career of nearly 81
years in this county, he has never sold
one of his customers out under deed
of trust or mortgage.
Another thing is worth considering
by the people of Brookhaven and the
country in this connection, and that
| is, that this is the only county office
any Brookhaven business man is ask
ing for. If Mr.. Bowsky is elected, he
can always be found in Brookhaven,
the county seat, and this, of itself will
be great convenience many times to
persons having business with the Coun-
| ty Treasurer; whereas treasurer iv-
ing at his home in the country would
frequently be out of the way. He can
easily give the required bond and the
county's money could be placed in no
safer hands. Let us make Bowsky
our next County Treasurer.

State Association of County Superintend-

The effort to form q State associa-
ton of county superintendent of ed
ucation here last week was q failure
on account of the small attendance.
Only the following counties were rep
resented: Amite, Geo. A. McGehee;
Jefferson, j. Rives Wade; Lincoln, J. M.
Girault; Lawrence, B. d. Bishop; Pike,
}. S. Lamkin; Yazoo, w. r. McCutchen.
A temporary organization was effected
by the election of j. Rives Wade, Of
Jefferson, chairman, and B. d. Bishop,
of Lawrence, secretary. A resolution
was adopted requesting State Super
intendent Preston to call meeting at
Jackson for the purpose of completing
the organization at some date to be
fixed by him during the month of De-
cember next. In addition to this the
temporary chairman and secretary
were directed to issue a circular letter
to all the county superintendent, urg-
ing them to attend the Jackson meet
ing when held.

OUR NORMAL

No one thing has added more life to
Brookhaven than the presence of our
200 teachers. Bright-eyed women, earn
est men, diligent workers are these
teachers. The lectures grow in inter
est from day to day and we are glad to
see our people taking more and more
interest in tho course of study.
Lincoln county has just cause to be
proud of her representatives. Wheth-
er it be the far-sightedness of Supt.
Girault or the general wide awake ma
ture of our boards of trustees, certain
it is, that our country shows up we'll
both in the quantity and quality of
our teachers.
We were trifle disappointed that
our Superintendent Conference did
not do more work. We, in common
with all our teachers, are glad to know
that they expect to meet early in De-
cember and prepare some much need
ed memorials to the Legislature which
meets in January 1896.
We suggest that one much needed
action is to make teachers certificate
good anywhere. That is, interchange
able among the counties. Under our
present administration, no man can
be superintendent unless able to
stand first grade examination and
this ought to do away with the cap
tious excuse that one superintendent
was better qualified than another. A
free interchange of teachers will help
all the counties. 1t is not wise for one
teacher to stay long in the same COM
munity. Five or six years is about as
long as the ordinary man or woman
can do good at one place.

GETS !! MANY ACRES.
Minnesota Secures a Tract Of
Swamp Lands in the
Duluth District.
WISCONSIN ALSO HAS 4 CLAIM
For 100000 Acres Under
the United States Grant
of 1850.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-The secre-
tary of the interior has approved a
swamp land list for 1,454. 36 acres of
land selected by the state of Minnesota
in the Duluth land district. This land
is located west Of the fourth principal
meridian. The swamp land grant was
made applicable to lands in the state of
Minnesota by special act of ex-
tension which became law March IL,
1860. The state of Minnesota was ad-
mitted into the Union as a state on
May IL. 1858, and the act Of admission
contained the usual provision that "all
laws Of the United States which are
not locally inapplicable shall have the
same force and effect within that state
as in other states of the Union" Un-
der this provision it was claimed that
the swamp land grant was extended to
Minnesota on it's admission to the
Union. there being lands of the charac-
ter described in the act within her
borders. But the supreme court in the
case Of Rice VS.. The Sioux City and st.
Paul Railroad company held otherwise,
saying that las the act Of 1850 (swamp
grant) related only to the states in ex.
istence when it was passed, it was To-
cally inapplicable to Minnesota"

Last Cabinet Meeting Before the Presi-

WASHINGTON, June S.-Secretaries
Smith and Herbert did not attend the
cabinet meeting during the day. Mr..
Smith was in Georgia and Mr.. Herbert
had not returned from Annapolis. As
sistant Secretary Uhl appeared with
the papers of the state department and
it was generally understood that this
would be his last appearance as acting
secretary of state. Attorney General
Olney was an early arrival and spent
20 minutes in the presidents private
Office before the cabinet met Secretary
Lamont, who has been in New York,
returned to Washington, and it is be-
lieved he had a great deal OF cabinet in
formation in his possession, as it was
understood that he had n,llted with
the New York friends of lne president
while he was away. He had consul
tation with the president soon after his
return to Washington. Postmaster
General Wilson hurriedly returned
from the South to be present at the
meeting, as it was quite possible that
this would be the last meeting held
before the president went away for the
summer 1t was generally understood
that if the business was all disposed Of,
the president would leave early next
week

prove beyond question that his father,

lie Harrington was murdered in her
fiat last Saturday, the chief Of detec-
tives is not satisfied with the alibi
All who can throw any light upon the
movements of Mr.. Buck on Saturday
have been subp9naed for the coroner's
inquest to be held next Saturday. The
cor oner has notified detectives that at
the inquest he will demand all the let
ters of the murdered woman. The
police have intimated that the cor
respondence has sensational features,
but decline to give particulars for pub
lication. The inquest will probably be
the end of the case. At present there
is no prospect that any one will be ar
rested. The police have failed to dis
cover any fact duplicating the muir
derer except the suspicion they have
expressed concerning Senator Buck,
who is dead.

SHORT OF SAILORS
Navy Department Has No Men
For Their Many New
Battleships.
CONGRESS WAS INCONSISTENT
Made Appropriations For New
Vessels But Not For
Their Crews.

WASHINGTON, June a-Iti is becoming
each day more serious problem for
the navy department here to man our
new ships with the small number of
sailors allowed by law. In recent years
there have been constant additions to
the ships Of the new navy, but con-
gress has not seen fit to increase in like
proportion the number Of sailors al
lowed to man them. The modern ship,
with its complex machinery and great
size, requires more men than the small
sailing steamers of the late war, yet
with all the liberality congress has
shown in the matter of appropriating
money for the construction Of new
ships, it has failed to grasp the import
ance of giving them effective crews.
Last year Secretary Herbert appealed
to the legislative branch Of the govern
ment to authorize the enlargement Of
The Number Of Enlisted Men
by 1000 pointing to the number of new
ships that will be completed and turned
over to the navy in the course of ayear
or two as the basis of his application.
The. appropriation committee, how
ever, saw tit to cut this number down
to 1000 additional men. Now the
battleships Maine, at the New York
navy yard, and the Texas at the Nor
folk yard, will be ready to 60 into
commission this summer. To man
these two ships about 700 men will be
required and as the Lancaster is also to
go into service as a practice ship, 800
men must be assigned to her. Thus
the entire additional l, 900 men allowed
by congress will be absorbed. Mean
while the big battleships Indiana, Ore
gon. Iowa and Massachusetts are rap
idly approaching completion, and. there
will bs no sailors to place on them un-
less the department shall put out of
commission some other ships, and
transfer their crews to the new vessels.
