Attempted Robbery.

On Sunday night about o'clock
Judge G. S. Mcmillan heard a noise
and discovered light in his dining
room. Getting up and starting out he
demanded to know who the intruder
was, when the sneak thief, who had en-
tered the house through an unlocked
door, retreated from the dining room
into the kitchen, at the same time fir,
ing his pistol. Being hemmed in the
kitchen he burst through the lower
sash of one of the windows, smashing
glass and sash as he went. Judge Nc
MILAN thinks the shot was fired to
cover the retreat of the thief by warn
ing him not to pursue too closely, as
the Judge was not within range when
it was fred. Nothing was missed from
the premises.

of the County Exscative Committee.
The County Executive Committee of
the Prohibition party met at the Court
House in Brookhaven last Friday, with
the following members present: Z. p.
Douglass, Vernon Smith, ]. d. Bailey,
HI. A. Kinchen and III. T. Read. Sever
al of the party nominees were present,
including Mr.. Daniel Hickman, who
announced before the committee his
acceptance of the nomination for
County Treasurer, pledging himself to
do all he could for the success Of the
party and its principles.
The venerable "Father in Israel"
Rev. w. H. Bailey, who has ever taken
a lively interest in every movement
for the religious. moral and material
advancement of the people, was pres
emit and led the meeting in a fervent,
inspiring prayer, invoking the Divine
guidance in all that was done.
Reports we're heard from the differ
emit candidates and members of the
committee and all were more or less
encouraging. There is no doubt from
these reports that the Prohibition par
ty is growing in favor among the peo-
pie all over the county.
After due discussion it was decided
to inaugurate an active canvass at an
early day, and the chairman of the
committee was instructed to challenge
all candidates of other parties for the
Legislature, to meet the Prohibition
candidates on the stump in joint de-
bate on the various issues of the day.
Hon. James A. Tate, the celebrated
stump-speaker of Tennessee, and mem
Der of the National Prohibition Com
mittee, was invited to come and assist
in the campaign at such time as will
best suit his convenience.
The chairman and other members OF
of the committee were delegated to
proceed at once to the raising of a suf-
ficient campaign fund, and Vernon
Smith was elected Treasurer of the
committee.
A list of names were agreed on to be
recommended to the County Election
Commissioners for appointment as
election managers at the several pre-.
cincts.
The committee adjourned to meet
subject to the call of the chairman.

Party is an excellent thing in itself
and fealty to party when there are nc
vital issues at stake and dividing the
party, is to the last degree commenda-
BILE. Immeasurably better results can
be obtained by organization than with
out it; and, without loyalty to such
organization under most circumstances
the organization could effect nothing.
But there come times in the history of
a party, as in the history of nation,
when loyalty would be treason to the
highest and dearest interests of the
people. On such occasions, the con-
victions of the thoughtful and the sin
cere count for immeasurably more than
the claims or the dictates of party;
conviction becomes, in fact, the con-
science and the imperative rule of ac-
ton of honest citizens.

THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

The Brookhaven Democratic club
held a meeting last night with % or 80
members present. The principal fea-
ture of the evening was speech by
Hon. r. H. Thompson. A letter was
read from Hon. A. j. McLaurin, indi-
eating that he would probably be able
to speak here on Oct. 18th, and that
date was accordingly decided upon as
the time for the Democratic barbecue.
Invitations were extended to Sen
ator Walthall and Hon. Frank Burkitt
to attend and deliver speeches on that
occasion. Committees were appoint
ed to make all necessary arrangements
and big time is anticipated. The
Democracy of Lincoln is in a
desperate strait, and the leaders and
candidates have adopted this plan to
get up little enthusiasm before the
thing peters out altogether. Mr.. Chas
Chrisman was invited to address the
club next Monday night.

it is gradually shrivelling and sinking

old Democratic cry of negro domina-
ton had become mere bugaboo, which
the people could now we'll afford to ig-
more and give their time and thought

There is one single fact which ought
to cause every professed friend of Pro-
hibition in both the Democratic and
Peoples parties to reflect and join the
Prohibition party. If they will but
look about them and study the situa-
ton, they will discover that every
friend of the saloon in Lincoln county
is either in the Democratic party or
with the Populists; while in the ranks
of the Prohibitionists not a single
friend or advocate of the liquor traffic
can be found. Apply this test and see
if it is not true.
