Leal1e County Democrats Listen
to Stirring Addresses.

I'D Special.
Carthage, Miss, Sept. 23.-Cir-
cult Court met here to day, Judge
Myers presiding.
Hon. Wiley n. Nash, candidate
for Attorney General, addressed
the people OF Leake this morning
and made strong speech on State
issues.
At o'clock in the afternoon
Hon. H. D. Money delivered
speech, which for historical re-
search, beauty ofrhetoric, strength
OF logic and the broad and enlight-
ened craftsmanship it betokens,
has not beeu equaled by any of the
public speakers of the year. The
Democrats of Leake, after hearing
this address today was convinced
that the Democracy Of this coun-
ty made no mistake in instructing
her Senators and Representatives
to vote for this distinguished gen
tleman for United States Senator.
Messrs. Nash and Money spoke
here by invitation of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the
county,
Hon. U. S. Roberts, Populite
candidate for State Senator, arose
at the conclusion of Col. Moneys
speech and made a bitter attack
on the Democratic party, through
which he is indebted to the only
political preferment he ever had,
At the conclusion of his diatribe,
Hon. A. M. Byrd was called upon,
and he responded in a manner
which made Mr. Roberts regret
having invited himself to speak or
the occasion. Mr.. Byrd fairly
flayed alive the impetuous anC
rather reckless Populist, and tht
latter left town a sadder and wise.

from her buxom, healthful appearance

The wheel evidently belonged to a
small boy, who was making himself
black in the face in an attempt to keep
her erect by steadying the saddle from
behind. The young woman was red
and perspiring. but not from embar-
rassment or any knowledge that she
was attracting undue attention. She
was too intent on striking a balance
for that. The tricky wheel wiggled
about, both from excessive weight and
want of guidance. And when finally
the rider lost control entirely she had
only to take her feet from the pedals
and let them slide along the street for
a rod or two and the wheel eventually
stopped. 1t being a child's wheel. she
could easily reach the ground with her
feet without leaving the saddle. Wom-

LIZA.

A plain old fashloned name. unheard by me for
many years,
But still see it has the power to ope fount of
tears;
1t calls up. too. the youthful days among the
haZy hills.
OF mornings thrilled by mocking birds. OF nights
by whippoorwis;
And somehow even now l think, as often long
ago,
No days have been so sweet as then. when l
was 'LiZa's beau.
I'm told her married life was hard and changed
her much at last
But now she's slumberng well up there, where
all her years were passed.
Forgotten are all wrongs to her In that unend-
ing sleep
The look unkind, the cold neglect, the words
that made her weep;
But now and then find myself a-wishing she
could know
One heart is still as true as then, when was
'LiZa's beau.

IN LIVINGSTON.

Livingston, May 25.-The campaign
of equal suffrage was inaugurated in
this city last Thursday evening by
Mrs. Emma Smith De Voc of Chicago,
who is just now stumping Montana in
the interest of the National Equal
Suffrage association. Mrs. De Woes
lecture was delivered at the opera
house to a rather small but apprecia-
tive audience. She is a lady of fine
presence and womanly bearing, and
her address was a masterpiece of clear
reasoning. Whatever the opinion or
prejudice of her hearers may have
been. there was no place left for ad-
verse criticism from any thinking, fair
minded man or woman. The meeting
was presided over by Mrs. l.. A. Hef-
ferlin of this city. At the conclusion
of the lecture all those interested in
the success of the equal suffrage cause
were invited to enroll themselves as
members of tn Livingston club, which
was organized during the afternoon at
K. of =. hall. The club starts off with
a fair membership and is differed as
follows: President, Miss NJ. A Muir
ply, vice president, Miss Annie Nc
Anelly; treasurer, Mrs. l.. A. Heffer-
lin: secretary, Mrs. Minnie N. Hickox.
The object of the club is to advance
the industrial, educational and legal
rights of women and secure suffrage to
them by appropriate state and national
legislation. Gentlemen, as well as la
dies, are invited to become members
of the club which can be done by
signing the constitution and paying
into the treasury the sum of so cents.
The equal suffrage movement is unsec-
tartan, non-factional and non-partisan,
and the new woman is liable to be-
come quit numerous before long.
The. public schools of this city
closed for the summer last Friday with
interesting exercises appropriate to the
occasion. Many parents were present.
The pupils of the eighth grade, pro-
moted to the high school. rendered the
