BRooKHAvEN, Oct. %, 1895.
Editor Lawrence County Press:
Kindly allow me a limited space to
correct a misleading report of my
speech at Blountville by your CORES
pondent in the Press of the 18th inst.
What really stated favored, is law
prohibiting the sale and the manufac-
ture for sale of all intoxicating liquors
as beverage, in every county of the
State, and providing for the sale of
pure wines, liquors and alcohol at one
point in the several counties for sacra-
mental, medicinal, scientific, and me-
chanical uses only, at cost of purchase
and handling. It has never been the
purpose of Prohibitionists to prohibit
the sale of intoxicants, except for use
as a beverage, and my position is ex-
actly in line with that of the leading
Prohibitionists of the country from
the origin of the Prohibition move
ment, A bill embracing practically
what I now favor was introduced in
the Senate by DR.. Teunisson of your
county, at the session Of 1892. Before
the draft was completed and the bill
introduced, it was submitted by Sena-
tor Teunisson to Bishop Galloway and
myself, acting as committee for the
Prohibitionists, and endorsed by both
of us; but it was killed in the Senate
by vote of Is to II.
/ will not trespass on your space by
going into discussion of the details
Of such bill, but will limit myself to
saving that provision could be in
serted that no county need have even
q dispensary, except on the petition Of
q majority Of her qualified electors, or
having once obtained one, should not
be compelled to retain it, unless it
proved self sustaining. Lawrence, un-
der the existing law, might vote to have
saloons ut Monticello, Blountville and
other points in the county. Why
strain at gnat and swallow camel?
Surely q law that would limit the sale
to one place and to the legitimate uses
/ have named, would be an improve
ment on the present one in the estina-
ton of every true friend of Temper
ance.
IL / ann correctly informed as to the
bibulous propeusities of your Bl0unt-
vile correspondent, and my position
was correctly reported by him, 1 ought
to have the enthusiastic support OF him
and every other lover Of the "ardent"
in Lawrence county, instead OF their
0pp0''''' B.T. HOBBS.

The LEADER, a Prohibition paper,
published at Brookhaven, is showing
up some ugly things Oh one Smith, the
Democratic nominee for Floater Rep
resentative from Lincoln and Franklin
counties. It's very clear that Smith
made a proposition while Superintend-
emit of Education, of Lincoln county,
to have the books of a New Orleans
firm adopted in said county, if said
company would pay him to do SO. Mr..
B. T. Hobbs, the founder Of the LEAD
Err, q fearless writer, and man that
cannot be bought nor bulldozed, has
laid the whole matter before the voters
Of that Pictorial district in an article
in the LEADER of the 18th inst. Smith
should be defeated. We want no man
in the Legislature that will sell out
the peoples interest for his profit

Petition for Pardon.
To the Hon. J. NJ. Stone. Governor Of the STATE
OF Mississippi:

~ tuC nun. o. otohc. pOftfHof Vi Vic vale
OF Mississippi:
The undersigned petitioners would respecf-
fully show to your Excellency, that Thomas J.
Decell, at the February term 1896 Of the Circuit
Court OF Pike county. Mississippi, was convicted
OF granddaughter for the killing Of Oscar Stew
art, and was sentenced by the coui to I'VE years
imprisonment in the penitentiary, where he =
now confined under such sentence: Prior to his
conviction, he was confined In the county JAIL on
the charge OF killing said stewart, about 8
months and he has been confined In the peni-
Tertiary about months: Petitioners further
show that the evidence and circumstances, In
reference to the killing. show 1t to have. been
done without malice, and under circumstances,
IL not establishing, at least leaving 1t In great
doubt, that the killing was done In his own or his
brothers defense. At all events, the evidence
would not sustain the conviction, except upon
the theory, that in committing the homicide he
acted too hastily.
This we submit will be shown by the evidence
taken by a stenographer and embodied In . bill
of exceptions now on file in the 0fice Of the clerk
of the Supreme Court OF this state, to which
your Excellency is referred. The premises con.
sidered, your petitioners pray that the said
Thomas j. Decell may be granted full pardon
for the offense for which he stands imprisoned.

reached the climax of his undi-
gested and illogical speech when he
ridiculed the party Prohibitionists IS
q set of visionary cranks and declared
that Prohibition is q moral and not q
political question, and that it is foolish
and impracticable to try to build up .
political party on any such issue.
The idea that . political question
can have no moral side to it, or that .
moral issue has no place Ia politics. is
. dangerous doctrine. and could only
have been suggested BY the moral de-
generacy Of tho party to which Mr..

The SJst was about tile same, and the
directors engaged the opera house to
hold their services in. The fire caught
from leaky gas pipe, from which the
gas collected in the upper part Of the
auditorium which was ceiled with
Oregon pine, and burned with great
rapidity. The fire department was on
hand promptly but could do nothing to
save the building. The pastor lost most
of his books and manuscripts and much
clothing.
The basement Of the U. S. Grant build

tract is let for the remaining part of the
