The Biloxi Review, in speaking
of the pernlcious habit of swearing,
says: zone of the most common
and yet most unnecessary practices
is that of swearing. There was a
time in the history of this country
when no gentleman, if he INDUCED
at the vile habit, would swear IN
the presence of a lady, but in this
latter day new order of gentility
obtains, and ladies' as they pass
along the streets haye their ears
RECALLED with the vilest profanity.
We are not posing az reformer,
and shall not render a homlly upon
this useless and we believe unmanly
practice-but in connection with
the subject we have been struck
with the statement that in Japan
profane oaths are never heard, fol
the reason that there is no word in
the Japanese language equivalent
to an oath. Japan stands alone in
this unique condition of affairs,
and despite the emigration pouring
IN there from other countries, the
necessary word has not found its
way into their vocabulary

HOW VARDAMAN WAS DE-
FEATED.

Vardaman's defeat was the re-
suit of az oversight. j. Holmes
Baker, a Catchings man, who made
up the ticket to be voted for In
Suphower, did so from memory,
and Inadvertently left Vardaman's
name off the ticket, hence he did
not receive vote in that county.
Had his name been on the ticket
the 205 votes cast for the regular
Catchings ticket would also have
been counted for him, which would
have given him about the same
majority that Catchings received
thus assuring his election.-Green'
vile Times.
Mr.. Henry's Vlcksburg organ
has been especially jubilant over
Captain Vardaman's defeat as a
member of the Third District Ex>
ecutlve Committee. From the ex-
PLANTATION given by the Times, it
appears that Mr.. Vardamsn's de-
feat was entirely due to the acct
dental omission CT his name from
the Sunfower ballots. If Mr..
Vardaman's opponent, who profited
by this oversight. is not morally
obtuse, he should proffer the place
on the Committee to Captain Var
daman when he returns from the
tront.--Vicksburg Post.

Piles of free silver from all candl-
dates, the people are calling for
men who have some higher right
to their suffrage than merely the
ability to howl for the white metal.
The experiences of the past two
years have been sad revelations,
and the lesson taught will not, we
think, be soon forgotten. In the
ranks of the free silverites are to
be found full quota of intelligent,
conscientious men, men alike in
character, training and mental
acumen to meritoriously fill the

sibility, and we believe the temper

To do otherwise Is not only to in,

Meridian 6eraiu.
j. j. Carmichael, a slick negro,
with ten other smooth bucks from
some. where up North, have been
film flaming the negroes OF the
Lauderdale, Daleyille and Lock-
hart neighborhoods out OF their
hard earned ducats.
Carmichael and his gang haye
been operating in those neighbour
hoods for some time, and have sues
ceeded in thoroughly demoralizlng
all of the negroes in that part of
the county. Carmichael claimed
to represent the international
Emigration Society,"" with heads
quarters at Birmingham, Ala, and
for the sum of 81 per head he agreed
to take the negroes to Africa. a
land which he pictured as flowing
with milk and honey. Carmichael
would go into neighborhood to
hold campmeetings and make
speeches to the deluded cOons.
His scheme was to induce his dupes
to pay HIM 81 Cash, and that sum,
he said, would secure them trans-
portation to Africa and a house,
and rs acres of land in the Repub~
lie of Liberia. The land, he said
was covered with coffee trees and
ginger plants, interspersed with
giant palm trees, which could be
tapped on one side and genuine mo-
lasses would FLOW; and tapped on
the other side, pure leaf lard would
come out in stream. Knots grew
on the palm trees up near the
branches, which, when cut open,
disclosed the finest kind of flour,
and when placed in skillet. would
rise so fast that the lid would be
thrown off IN five minutes.
At each place where Carmichael
held meetings he had elected a
complete government, including a
Senate, House of Representatives,
and county officers.
Carmmichael's associates, ten
black co0ns wearing long tailed
coats, would go around among the
negroes in each neighborhOOd and
solicit shoats, sheep, goats and
beeves, which they would barbecue
and sell to the negroes who dos
mated them. The whole crowd
were reaping harvest and had so
completely demoralized the negroes
that phe citizens up that way con-
Guided to take hand.
Carmichael was arrested on a
warrant charging him with obtains
ing money under false pretenses,
and was released on a 800 bond to
appear before Justice Pigford yes
terday at Lockhart. Carmichaels
partners were also arrested and
gave bond for their appearance.
Mr.. r. F. Cochran, of the firm of
Cochran & Bozeman, of this city,
was sent for to prosecute the ras>
Gals, and went to Leckhart yesters
day morning. Carmichael failed
to put in an appearance yesterday
and forfeiture was taken on his
bond. The other ten negroes
showed up however, and convicted
of running lunch stands without
license and fined $40 and costs each.
Carmichael came to Meridian and
is SAID to be in the city now. His
bondsmen came down on the train
yesterday from Lockhart and are
looking for him with blood in their
optics.
