wrrHpRaws IT'S supPoKr.

Last weeks issue of the lincoln
County Times, whose editor is the sec
Rotary of the Central Democratic Club
of Brookhaven, contained the follow
ing editorial, which explains itself:
In view of the grave charges of cor
ruption brought against Mr.. Edward
Smith, Democratic candidate for
Floater Representative, charges too
grave, in our opinion, to be met with
the silent contempt with which Mr..
Smith has treated the matter, The
Times must withdraw it's support of
his candidancy. 1t goes against the
grain to counsel the scratching of any
Democratic nominee, we are for the
party's choice every time providing he
is honest and honorable, but with the
lights before US, we cannot think the
party will do right to send Mr.. Smith
to the Legislature.
AS long ago as July, 1891, Mr.. B T.
Hobbs published the charge that while
county superintendent Mr.. Smith had
solicited bride from book publish
ing company, offering for pay to use
his influence to have it's series of text
books adopted for use in the public
schools of Lincoln county. Again last
week the Prohibition executive COM
mittee published the charge. Mr..
Smith has mover made any public de-
NAL of these charges. If they are true
he is unworthy of a place in the Legis-
lature, which offers far greater oppor-
tunity for bribery. If they are false,
then Mr.. Smith ought to resent the
imputation ON his honor and clear
himself of the charge of corruption
| Our representatives in the legislature
ought to be above suspicion.
The Times is to be commended for
the high stand it has taken in this
matter, and we are confident its exam.
pie will be followed by the better class
of Democrats all over this Floatorial
District. Smith cannot disprove the
grave charges against him, because the
proof is too strong. direct and over
whelming to be overcome.
The withdrawal of Greer and the
growing popularity of DIR. Flowers as
sure the defeat of Smith by large
majority. All good citizens should
unite in making it as big as possible
so that hereafter men with such tat
tooed regulations will take warning
and not presume to offer themselves te
positions of public trust and honor.

DIR. HENRY FLOWERS.

| A Pen Sketch of the Gentleman Who is
to be Lincoln's FIoater Representative.
The subject of this sketch was born
in Amite county in 1859, being now
thirty-six years of age. His boyhood
was spent on his fathers farm, attend
ing the common schools of the county,
save about three and a-half years spent
at the Peabody school in Summit. At
the age of twenty he entered the
freshman class of the State University,
having for class and room mate the
present Democratic nominee for sher-
iff, j. p. Jones. Spending two years
there, completing the studies of the
sophomore class, he was for awhile
forced to suspend his studies in order
to earn the means to complete his edu-
cation. He taught very successfully
the Liberty school, acquiring sufficient
money to finish his studies at the Uni
versity, and to take thorough course
at a Kentucky commercial college. Up
on the recommendation of the chan
cellor of the University, he obtained a
position in Memphis male college,
remaining there two years, and quit
ting to accept the principalship of
Boonville Normal Institute, where he
taught with great success, having an
enrolment of 225 scholars. Deciding
to adopt medicine as profession, he
1 resigned his position at Boonville to
pursue his medical studies, attending
lectures both at Louisville and New
Orleans, but graduating from Tulane
University. He located in Lincoln
county within a-half mile of Amite,
two miles of Franklin, and four miles
| of Pike counties, so that his practice
extends over four counties. He has
recently erected a handsome modern
residence upon the exact site of the
old Adams camp ground, famous in
this section of the State before the
war and we'll remembered yet by many
of our readers. He Joined the Adams
church at the age of twelve, and has
ever been an active and consistent
member. He has served as member
of the board of stewards of his church
and for a number of years has been
an enthusiastic teacher of the Bible
in the Sunday School. He married a
daughter of the late Judge Thos. A.
Magee, of this county, and sister of
our townsman, DR.. L. K. and Louie
Magee.
DR.. Flowers was not candidate for
the nomination for Floater, but on the
contrary he urged his friends not to
consider his name, since he did not
aspire to political honors, and it in
volved a personal sacrifice he did not
like to make. Notwithstanding his OBJ.
jections, he was nominated by Lincoln
| county in mass meeting assembled al
Brookhaven, though he was not pres
ent and thought he had prevailed on
his friends not to put him in nomina
ton. He has accepted the nomination
with the understanding that his friends
must not expect him to make per
sonal canvass of the two counties. He
promises, however, that the readers Of
the Gazette shall hear from him as of
ten as his professional duties will per
mit.-Franklin County Gazette.

DELINQUENT TAX PAYERS CAN'T
HOLD OFFICE.

By section 1851 of the Code no man
can vote unless he has paid all taxes
which have been legally required OF
him and which he has had an oppor-
tunity to pay, according to law, for the
two preceding years, and who shall
produce to the officers holding the
election satisfactory evidence that he
had paid such taxes on or before the
LIST day of February Of the year in
which he shall offer to vote.
There are few persons exempt from
the payment of poll tax and the Code
designates them in section 3745 as fol
lows: "Every inhabitant of this State
over twenty-one and under sixty years
of age, shall pay the tax except per-
sons deaf and dumb, or blind, or

DEAR SIR:-I hereby tender to you
my resignation of the nomination for

event of it's acceptance that you will
announce that am no longer candi-

LANDAUER TROUPE.
Remarkable Flexible Models, Now With
RingIing Bros Big Circus.

Ringing Bros Big Circus.
Among the high class features of the
great European circuses during the
past two or three years, nothing has
attracted so much attention and arous-
ed so much enthusiasm as the Ian
dauer troupe of flexible models, which
is now making it's first tour of Ameri-
ca, with Ringing Bros Worlds Great
est Shows. The troupe comprises nine
artists, all of whom are experts in their
line. Statue acts on small scale are
more or less familiar to the people of
the United States; but nothing on the
colossal scale of the performance given
by the Landauers has ever been seen
in this country. The act opens with a
remarkable reproduction of famous
fountain from one of the leading CAPT.
tails of Europe. In this striking pic
is used, and the human figures, all
Herculean in form, the curious dol
phins, gushing streams of sparkling
WdOCI, anu CuO
of sculptured marble, all combine to
produce an effect beautiful beyond de-
scription. This striking picture is fol
lowed by a series of reproductions, en-
bracing classic and modern statuary
and lofty human pyramids. 1t is an
act which delights all lovers of the
beautiful in art and nature and where
ever it has been seen it has provoked
unbounded admiration. In securing
this great feature Ringing Bros. have
had in mind the Importance of not only
maintaining their past reputation as
the leading amusement purveyors of
America, but also of emphasizing their
recognized policy of making each re-
curing seasons exhibition greater.
grander and more comprehensive than
that of the previous year. In this COM
mendable ambition they have succeed
ed beyond all comparison, and it can
safely be said that never before, in the
history of amusement enterprises, has
there been an exhibition to compare
with Ringing Bros circus for 1895. In
arenic features, in great acrobats, gym
nasts and riders, and, in fact, in every
thing that goes to make up great ex-
hibition, they have surpassed even
their own hitherto unequaled efforts.
The two performances to be given in
Brookhaven Friday, Nov. 8, will be
events long to be remembered.
