Bro. Black, of the New Orleans
Christian Advocate, is much exercised
over the ruthless disregard of the doc
trine of States Rights and local-self
government by a Federal Judge in
South Carolina. While in entire agree
ment with what Bro. Black says on
this subject, The LEADER would at the
same time gently remind him that this
outrageous step toward Capitalization
has been taken under Democratic and
not Prohibition party administration.

The Prohibitionists of Lincoln
should be looking around for their
best material for legislative candi-
dates. Rev. E. P. Douglass has been
suggested by many as fine man for
Representative, and the proposition
meets with universal favor. There is
no better man for the place in the
county. He is we'll qualified from ey-
cry point of view, besides being good
enough parliamentarian to serve as
speaker of the House.

BOGUE CHITTO DOTS.
By JEEMS.

Our farmers are on the home stretch
just now.
Frank Turnbough has returned from
the east with drove OF cattle and 9th
er things in proportion.
Mr.. Elisha Ratliff, the photograph
man, has rented the Reeves boarding
house.
We are informed that somebody up
the road grinned at the johnson Trio
something near a week after they had
gone.
AS the bankers have declared non
fellowship for the free coinage of sill
yer, there must be something good in
it for the farmers. The whole thing is
as clear as mud to myself and a few
others.
Judging from the manner in which
some Democratic newspapers are abus-
ing "Coins Financial school," it must
be very valuable book. Where can I
get a copy?
Mr.. H. D. Money declares himself as
highly in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, and in '92 he de-
clared in favor of the free and unlim-
tied manufacture and sale of liquor. l
haven't learned whether he was favor
able toward freeing the negroes in 1865
or not.
The keystone Lumber Co. are max
ing two trips day over their railroad
from Wellman City to Bogue Chitto
bringing in lumber, which is evidence
that business is picking up.
If you believe that thing is politi-
cally right, back it up with your vote
How is the Prohibition sentiment in
this country ever to be backed up by
political parties who oppose it? If all
the men who favored the freedom of
Southern slaves had remained out of
the Abolition party, Lincoln never
would have been elected and the ne
groes freed. 1t matters not how very
much they were in favor of freeing the
negro, but if they had continued to
cast their votes with party in favor
of slavery, the negro would have re-
manned a slave just the same. This is
a crumb for Prohibitionists(? p who cast
their vote with party who "hold wa
ter in light esteem" Hence the man
who votes with free whisky party
need not pray for the downfall of the
saloons, for the Lord has no bottle
that will hold such a prayer as that.

FLORA, Miss, May 10, 1895.

to Mississippi w. c. I. US.
FLORA, Miss, May 10, 1895.
To Members of the Mississippi w. c. I. U:
MY DEAR SISTERS AND COMRADES
Several weeks before the recent State
convention met in Natchez, l had
given up the idea of going to Europe,
as had previously hoped to do, and
had begun to map out line of work
for the summer and autumn, making
engagements as late as the Pennsy2va-
MIA State convention in October. When
l accepted the presidency of the Mis-
sissippi w. G. T. u, the highest honor
that you, in your love and confidence,
could bestow upon me, did so in the
full faith that would give you one
year of the strongest devotion that
was mine to give. Since my return
home, l have written many letters
urging our Mississippi workers to 60
into the field at once, asking others to
come into the State, studying new
methods to arouse the unions and de-
vising means, generally to carry on an
energetic campaign. Last Saturday l
received a cablegram from Miss Will
lard, who is now at Eastnor castle with
Lady Somerset, summoning me to
England and opening up the way SO
clearly for me to 60 that l cannot dis
obey the call. There are numerous
speakers and organizers in America to
carry out the blessed plan of salvation
through the w. G. II. u, but few in
foreign countries.
My dear parents insist upon my 60
ing abroad in answer to Miss Wizards
urgent request. If God Wills, I shall
leave home for New York city May 80
and leave there June 5, for England.
The length of my stay will be uncer-
tain; perhaps only few months-may
be two years or more. 1t grieves me to
lay down the work that has so lately
been assumed, but | do so with
stainless conscience and with a firm
realization of the appreciation of our
Father in Heaven. Mrs. Mary Curlee,
a woman of deep conservation and un-
usual ability, who was elected Vice
President at large at the last conven-
ton, will serve as your President for
the new year that dawned on our Mis-
sissippi w. G. T. U. May 8. Mrs. Mel
lie Nugent Someryille, our cool-head-
ed, strong minded and valiant Core
spending Secretary, Mrs. Annie E.
Harper and Mrs. Josephine Ker, Re-
cording Secretary and Treasurer, our
beloved and true-hearted co-workers,
will keep the good w. G. T. U. ship of
our love and admiration sailing on
smooth seas and under clear, sunny
skies. Please forgive me for leaving
you. l would not do so if did not be-
lieve it is for the best. Bear me up
before Christ our Lord daily in your
prayers, asking that may be kept in
harmony with His precious will, pre-
served from all physical danger and
allowed to return in safety to my own
native land.
May the peace of God that passeth
all understanding abide with you al
ways even unto the end.
Yours in loyal service for the King.
BELLE KEARNEY.

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI.
II. b. Lacey, Okolona Miss.
MY DEAR SIR-In reply to yours of
the 9th inst, will state that the law
of Feb. 10, 1894, is very clear in the re-
quirement that the Registrar shall keep
has books open at has office and shall
register the electors of has county at any
time, except in a year of ageneral cleo
ton he shall visit the voting precincts
with the registration books for regis
tration purposes. With this exception
it is clearly the duty of the Registrar
to keep the registration books at his
office, and every elector has right at
all times to register at the office of the
Registrar. This right the electors are
deprived of, whenever the books are
taken away from the proper Office
without authority of law. The Regis
trar has no right to take the books
from his office at any time except as
provided in the year of general cleo
ton, and then in the mode and man
am not aware of any law which author
lstrar There is no such officer as Dep
uty Registrar. The Circuit Clerk has
been appointed by the State Board of
Election Commissioners as Registrar,
but the Deputy Circuit Clerk has no
official relations to the Office of Regis
trar. Persons registered irregularly
at political meetings about through
the county, and not in the manner
prescribed by law, may not be in legal
contemplation legally registered. lido
not say that they are not entitled to
vote, but their legal qualification as to
registration and their right to vote
presents doubtful question, even had
they been thus irregularly registered
| by the Registrar in person, and the
fact that registration has been made
by the Deputy Clerk renders this
doubt more serious still. An irregu-
lar registration by the Registrar in
person, might not affect the right of
the irregularly registered elector to
vote, but it is exceedingly doubtful if
any registration made by the Deputy
Clerk or other unauthorized person
would be legal for any purpose. Your
inquiry does not come strictly within
my official duties, but take pleasure,
as matter of personal courtesy, in
giving you my impressions of the sub
ject presented.
Very truly your obedient servant,
FRANK JOHNSON.
