Referring to the action Of the Peo-
Piles party State Convention in ignor-
ing the liquor question in their pla.-
form, Mr.. Henry Ware says: 81 scarce
ly know what to think of man or men
who profess to believe that the liquor
traffic Is the curse of the Nation and
stands in the way of needed reforms,
demoralizing the church and corrupt
ing politics, who will allow themselves
bulldozed or dashed into a party that
has not the courage to do right. 1t
confirms me in my previous opinions,
that If Mr.. Ratliff, Mr.. Burkitt and
others of their class cannot influence
the Peoples party to take the right
stand on the liquor question, to be
consistent, they ought to burst it up
the sooner the better. IL they cannot
do either, the sooner it is known the
better. Many Prohibitionists have
united with them, believing they were
uniting with a party in favor of Prohi-
bition. 1t is time they we're undeceiv.

The Rev. ii. M. Long Restored.

SHUQUALAK, MISS, Aug. 16.- The wri-
ter has just road a certificate signed by
the physicians and citizens of this
place, which states that they believe
Rev. H. M. Long, who resides here, is
fully restored to health, both mentally
and physically. This will be good
news to the many friends of the rever-
end gentleman throughout this and
adjoining States. He has been very
successful as a pastor, and contem-
plates entering the pastorate again as
soon as there is an opportunity,
The above, which appeared in the
Memphis Commercial Appeal of the
18th, is welcome news to the thousands
of friends of Rev. III. M. Long in this
portion of the State, where he is so
well and favorably known. AS it Is
his purpose to re-enter the passionate,
any Baptist Church needing a good
pastor might find it to its advantage
to correspond with him.

We would like to look into the pleas
ant face of some one who has never
had any arrangement of the digestive
organs. We see the drawn and unhap-
Ply faces of dyspeptics in every walk Of
life. 1t is our national disease, and
nearly all complaints spring from this
source. Remove the stomach difficult
ty and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are
literally starving, because they don't
digest their food. Consumption never
develops in people of robust and nor
NAL digestion. Correct the wasting
and loss of flesh and we cure the dis
ease. Do this with food

tains already digested food and is "a
digester of food at the same time. Its
effects are felt at once. Get a pam

A Street Fight.

A street fight occurred on McGrath's
corner yesterday morning between Sim
Roberts and Willis Dixon, two young
negroes of VIGOROUSLY bad repute,
which caused quite ripple of excite
ment. Dixon first emptied both bar
rels of an old-fashion shot gun at Rob-
erts, loaded with large dack shot, strik-
ing him with one charge in the thigh
and the other in the arm. but not seri-
ously disabling him. AS Roberts
charged on him with knife, he then
broke the gun over his head, but with
out stopping him, and Roberts then
began slashing Dixon with his knife.
He gave him an ugly cut across the
throat, forehead and wrist, besides sew
eral smaller wounds, but none deep
enough to prove dangerous The knife
had blunt point, was probably what
saved Dixon. Mayor Daughtry and
others who were attracted by the dis
charge of the gun, soon gathered
around and the combatants were sepa-
rated and arrested, or it might have
Jared worse with Dixon than it did.
They have not had preliminary
trial yet, but it is understood the row
started as the result of jealousy over a
young negress. Roberts and Dixon
are two of the most worthless aud dis
reputable young negroes in the com
munity, and about the only regret is
that they did not succeed in killing
each other on the spot.

The LEADER is reliably Informed
that Mr.. w. N Smylie, of Bogue Chit
to, says he will not accept the nomina-
ton rendered him by the Peoples
party for County Superintendent OF
Education. There is also said to be
great doubt about DR.. Henry Flowers
accepting the nomination for Floater
The Doctor is a strong believer in Pro
hibition, who thought the Prohibition
proposition for fusion ought to have
been accepted by the Peoples party
mass meeting. It's rejection virtually
places the legislative nominees of that
party on an Prohibition platform,
a fact which DIR. Flowers doubtless
realizes, and would greatly handicap
him as it's candidate, to say nothing of
forcing him to go counter to his con-
victions.

ALBION, MICH. )
So serious was the business depres-
sion of the country in January last,
that we did not make our usual effort
to raise considerable fund for the
work of the National Committee.
A sum sufficient to meet incidental
expenses was secured from a limited
number of contributors. With i'm
proved business conditions we now
feel that we are warranted in solicit
ing from all former contributors and
other Prohibitionists such aid as they
may be able to give.
Without making an extended ap.
peal, and without a single word of ex-
hortation, we ask every person who
reads these lines to send to the ma
tional fund for the important work OF
the next four months all he can afford
to contribute.
We want a popular two dollar col
lection with occasionally larger sum.
We expect to commence next week
the publication of contributors names.
Let us hear from you. Address all
communications as below.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness tcaused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Judge w. P. Baggett received let
ter few days ago from his son, Hon.

yers of San Francisco, stating that he
had just won a suit in the Supreme
court of California, involving one mil

will recover the rest in due course
Mr.. Baggett took the case on q. contin-
gent fee of ne-fourth the sum involved
which will make his entire fee the
princely sum of s250,OOO. The suit
grew out of certain mining claims ant
he had to make the fight against sew

which money could command. MI

Religious and Moral Progress Among the

Negroes.
| To the Editor of The Leader:
While the negro camp-meeting in
Madison county was not the large at
| fair expected, and though Bishop Gal
| loway did not come, still there were
prominent negroes present,-the be-
havior of the large crowd of colored
people was exceptionable and the gath
ering interesting from more than one
point of view.
The negro's progress in religious
matters was shown to an advantage
The old style type of negro preacher
and the old style type of negro sermon
were remarkably scarce. Instead OF
using dialect, yelling, haranguring
pounding the pulpit, having fits, and
behaving in half heathenish manner
the up-to-date negro preacher is cool
quotes Greek and is an almost fault
less orator. He is also a disciplinari
an, and no general has his army under
better control than this preacher his
congregation. Under the guidance oil
their modern religious leaders, the ne
groes are learning to worship quietly
and sensibly. They are being taught
that religion does not mean shouting
going off into frances, etc, on Sunday
and sighting work and stealing chick
ems in the week, but the living of g
cody every day life.
The two most prominent colored
men present gave me their views or
Prohibition.
The Rev. Mask, P. E., is strong Pro
hibitionist and was just out of the pro
hibition fight in Grenada county, in
which he took a prominent part. He
said: "Prohibition-that movement
which has helped so many homes to-
ward purity and self-support-is real
necessity. The negro, above all men
should be true blue Prohibitionist
of the deepest dye, for intemperance
has Slapped his manhood, fired his I'M
cultivated brain and dethroned his
reason.
'The fell destroyer should be driven
from our land and every American
home freed from the manacles of this
home destroyer. Every Christian
should help drive him out" "God
bless Miss Francis Willard and the no
BILE women of the w. G. II. u"
The Rev. Geren is also Prohibition
list. He has been on the State execu
tive committee and was formerly State
lecturer to his people on prohibition
He thinks that the negro needs prohi
bition badly, and says that the intelli
gent, thinking minority of the colored
people are in favor of it, locally at least
but that the ignorant majority are
still inclined to drift with the white
saloon element. He wants local op.
ton election in Madison, and volun
teers to take care of his people in that
event. He says that the negro is yet a
Republican, but will become Prohi
bitionist reader than he will become
either Democrat or a Populist.
The emigration to Africa scheme is
considered impracticable by the lead
ing colored men, and indeed, l found
none of the negroes in favor of it. The
negro here is perfectly contented and
is resolutely improving himself moral
ly and intellectually.
The good behavior of the colored
people during this meeting was most
gratifying to the white people of this
section. They hope that a sound NOR.
al education for the negro will elimi
nate some of the puzzling factors in
the race problem.

The Picayune complains bitterly OF
the great difficulty of convicting even

MR.. DINKINs' STATEMENT.
Mr.. Paul Dinkins said:
"Aside from the considerations stat
cd by MI. Miller, as counsel, Mr.. Fox
was connected with our family by mar
riage, and / had been on personally in
innate terms with all the defendants,
and our relations we're very friendly.
On account of the relations of our
families, this proposition was accepted.
knew, too, that it would be my moth
er's preference that they be not hung
if she had it in her power to decide
their fate. If she had been given her
preference, our mother would have
preferred this settlement rather than
to have executed these men, the slay-
ers of her son, and these cpnsidera-
tions, added to those stated by the at
torney, influenced our agreement to
the proposition.
aWe had no desire at the outset for
revenge upon these men; we only want
ed to see the law yindicated. We feel
they have murdered our brother and
should be held to account. We are en-
tirely satisfied with the verdict, fixing
the penalty at Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life."
On Friday, just one week to day
from the date Of the murder, the Peni-
Tertiary Sergeant, Mr.. S. S. Parker,
conveyed the prisoners from the Bran
don Jail to jackson and lodged them
behind the penitentiary walls. A great
throng of curious people followed them
through the streets from the Jackson
depot to the very door Of the State
prison, many kissing and jeering and
otherwise expressing their condemns
ton. Once on the inside. they were
taken in charge by Sergeant J. w. La
~, who took them to his Office, strip
ped them, took their description,
dressed them in regulation suits of
stripes and turned them on the yards
to do as they pleased until night
when they we're given cells.
Eae men are numbered and describ-
ed as follows on tho prison register;
T. Dabney Marshall, No. 81 Sen
fenced from Rankin county for life;
