Versus the Cigarette.

The trustees of the public school
at Hattiesburg have passed an or
der forbidding the attendance
upon that school of cigarette
smokers. Why is this not good
step for other public schools in the
State to take? Legislation has
been resOrted to in this State
against the cigarette dealers in
times past, in order to keep the
boys from this deadly habit, and
why should not those boys who
seek the benefits of public edCca-
tion be told that they cannot go to
the public schools if they smoke
cigarettes? Commenting on this
order, the Port Gibson Reveille
says:
"Although sweeping, we believe
this order is right. Medical au-
thorities are unit in condemning
the cigarette. We heard DR.. Sea-
yer, the great Yale authority Oh
anthrop0mony, say last summer
that his long experience in physi-
cal measurements of Yale men
showed that the cigarette was more
injurious to physical development
than ALCOHOL

Silver Soldiers.

LINCOLN, NEB., May 24.-Mr.
w. J. Bryan's regiment, which will
be known as the Third Nebraska
Regiment National Gnard, will be
ready to muster in by Saturday.
At present Mr.. Bryan is private
in Company A, of Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, but will be elected captain of
this company, and later will be
elected colonel of the regiment.
The regiment, for the most part,
is composed of silver men and per
sonal friends of Mr.. Bryan. The
Nebraska Republicans are sore
about this regiment which will be
officered entirely of silver men, and
say that it has been gotten up for
political effect. The Democrats
say this is not true, and that the
reason there are so many silver
men in the regiment is easily ac-
counted for by the fact that the
sentiment ofthe State is largely for
silver.

NEW MILITARY COMPANY.
Mr.. 1. w. Hoskins, of Brook
haven, Engaged i'm Organ
ing One.

The following letter from Mr..
/. W. Hoskins explains itself, and
should receive the patriotic con.
sideration of all South Mississip-
plans who are qualified to pass the
physical examination required by
the Government. Mississippi has
almost an entire regiment to raise
yet before she will have her quota
of men under the Presidents first
call:
EDITOR LEADER IL am organ
izing Company to join the army,
and if l could enlist the support of
the newspapers of this section it
would be of material aid. Knowing
you to be patriotic yourself, l write
to request you to bring the matter
before the public and keep it there,
until my company is fully organ
lied. The people of this country
are not wanting in patriotism, but
their attention has not been called
sufficiently to the Importance of
responding to the Presidents call
promptly, and if the newspapers
would give the matter especial at
tention the people would become
aroused and this would remove all
danger of Mississippi failing to
furnish her quota of troops. If
she does fail it will be an everlast-
ing stain upon her honor and pa
triotism. I am devotingsm my entire
time to raising a company which
will join the Second Mississippi
Regiment and go into camp as
soon as the First leaves. The
company, when it assemblies to go
into camp, will of course elect its
own officers. 1 expect to go
whether honored with Office or not.
Please state that l can be COM
municated with at Brookhaven at
any time and will answer all in
quiries promptly. Those desiring
to enlist can furnish me with their
names and address. 1t seems to
me that if our Christian and liber-
ty-loving people could be made to
understand that this war is one
solely for humanity, to rescue starry
ing women and children from un-
told miseries and woe at the hands
of a butcher nation, the full num-
ber of troops from Mississippi
would crowd to the front eager to
be among the band of rescuers.
Yours truly,
|. w. HOSKINS.

THE LEADER today announces
Hon, Jas. G.. Spencer as candi-
date for the nomination of the
the Democratic party for Congress
from this district. After serving
in Congress two years and making
arecord for energy, industry, fidel-
ity to party and public duty as
enviable as that achieved by any
Mississippi Congressman since the
war, ,Mr.Spencer was retired and the
nomination went to Hon. Pat Hen.
ry, the present incumbent. He
therefore correctly claims that
there is good party precedent for
retiring a Congressman after only
one term, and, pointing with pride
and confidence to the record he
made during his first and only
term, respectfully appeals to the
sober second thought Of the people
to reconsider their action of two
years ago and return him at this
time.

WAR NEWS /!

The most important war news
for a week past is the report that
the Spanish fleet under Admiral
Cervera had successfully eluded
the American squadrons and safe
Iy landed in the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba. Thus far there is no re-
liable information that any fight
between the opposing fleets, and
the very latest news as THE LEAD.
Err goes to press is that Admiral
Sampson has the Spanish fleet
penned up in the harbor of Santa
go, whence they can't escape with
out fight.
The transport of troops to the
PHILIPPINES and to Cuba has CON-
menced, and a general advance on
Cuba is expected within the next
week. Dewey remains master of
the situation at Manila.

Ed. j. Il. Thigpen has accepted an
invitation to assist Bro. Douglass in
the August meeting at Fair River.
Bro Douglass's sermon and report
on the Southern Baptist Convention
last Sunday was listened to with much
interest by the entire audience. He
chose as his text Isaiah 2:23, 4,5, which
scripture he said was a prophesy con-
cerning the origin, progress and devel-
opment of the church of Christ, or
kingdom of God upon the earth. From
Zion has gone forth the law and the
word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He
said, as he witnessed the gathering of
the Lords hosts at Norfolk, Va, and
noticed the earnest missionary spirit
that pervaded the meeting of that
great body, and saw some of the mis-
sionaries and heard them talk and tell
of their work, he thought truly, the
word of the Lord has gone forth from
Jerusalem, and would soon be pro-
claimed in all the earth. He spoks of
tha ,,,,,1ts-
tudes of men at work preparing num-
ber of great war vessels ready to move
out to war, and remembered that we
are at war with another nation. He
thought the scripture of the text had
not all been fulfilled, but that evident
ly great progress had been made. He
truthfully said this is not war of con-
quest, but for humanity's sake, the
government and our great religious
bodies are working to the same end
the good of humanity. The Lord shall
judge among the nations and shall re-
buke many people. Spain has been
cruel and oppressive to her own people,
The Lord has judged and will rebuke
her. Other nations like Spain are
wicked and oppressive. They stand in
the way of Christian evangelization.
| He says our government seems to have
taken the initial step in this rebuking
of the nations. 1t may be that this
great Christian nation, together with
England, is to be the instrumental
ty employed by the Lord in the con-
summation of this grand work. He
said he was glad that he went to the
convention and came away better
Christian, more fully enthused with
the missionary spirit. He spoke of
visiting Washington, the nations cap
itol, and of viewing George Washing
tons old home, Mt. Vernon. He also
gave vivid description of his travel to
and from and his thrilling account of
visiting the old battle fields of Virgin
ia, of the old prison that held him
within her walls during the civil war
was the most touching point and many
like the writer, caught the inspiration
from this grand and noble servant of
God, and today, as he said, have a
more intense feeling of patriotism
than ever before, and join him in his
closing remarks, that is, may the Lord
use us to the glory of his name.
