can only be known and appreciated by
one who has performed a soldiers duty
in time OF war. and who has formed a
soldiers friendship. War is the high
est OF oil professions. It's trials. exper-
fences and hardships try to the utmost
mems abilities, courage and hndliness.
and therefore the friendships thus
formed are based upon sterling worth
and heartfelt appreciation. 1t win be
appreciated, therefore. how anxiously
and expectantly the Philadelphia COM
rades are waiting the advent of their
old associates, and every veteran who
can possibly come should not dlsap-
point his old comrades, but make a
special effort and DO present. The
general committee are exerting every
effort to accomplish this end and the
registration committee are busy regis
tering the names of those who will be
In attendance.
The plan pursued is to correspond
with the organization. whether posts or
reglmental associations, which have
slgnIfed their intention of coming to
the encampment, and forwarding to
them sufficient cards at least ten days
before the opening of the encampment.
The difficulty will, however, be to get
the names Of those who VIII come.
The plan to be pursued outside Of the
city is to correspond with the organlzn-
lions, whether posts or reglmental as
soclatlons, which have signiaed their
intention of coming to the encampment,
and forwarding to them sufficient cards
at least ten days before the opening of
the encampment. The difficulty will be
to get the names OF those who will come
individually and every comrade who
reads this article should make up his
mind that the necessary part Of his
coming here is to be registered. or he
will lose half the pleasures to be enjoy
ed. Under all the systems of reglstra-
ton heretofore in use at encampments,
a man had to so to the headquarters Of
all the organizations with which he
may have served during the war. I'm
der the Philadelphia system he will
only have to I'LL up as many spaces as
he has served with different organlza-
lions. The card on which he will do
this is perforated. The attendant
breaks It along the perforatlon and
each Of the spaces is filled with the
proper organizations; so by means Of
this one card he registers himself in
every regiment he was connected with
and is sure to be found II wanted.
BY this system of registration, II a
man will register, he makes It possible
not only to be found himself, but he
makes 1t possible. also, for him to find
others. Heretofore. the registers at the
encampments have heen Of so little i'm
portance, by reason OF the difficulty OF
the registration. or hunting for names
Unfortunately entered, that large
number of the comrades made no at
tempt whatever to announce their
presence. and then more than half the
pleasure and the advantage Of these
great gatherings were lost to many OF
those who attended, and for that rea-
son also others have been heretofore
deferred from attending the national
encnmpment. Philadelphia is always
open. handed and full-hearted, and on
this occasion she expects to Guido her
self. Comrades, q royal welcome
awaits you.

calfriend of Mr.. Bryan.
AS newspaper man Mr.. Henry has
long held the first place among the
successful members of the fraternity
in Mississippi, and this means that he
possesses the enegry and executive
ability to fill creditably the presidents
chair, if need be. His recent unani-

nently in touch with the press of the
nation. Early next year the National

The Herald sees no flies on the sug-
gestion of the BRoOKHAvEN LEADER,
that Editor Henry, of the Clarion

President next year. AS an original,
ardent and consistent Bryan support
er, he could but be acceptable to the
head of the ticket. AS to other points
of fitness for the place, they will be

Gle, which we reproduce.

Tue LEADER would like to hear a
general expression from the State

the South should be accorded the
vice presidential nomination next
year, and that no Southern Democrat
is more available or more deserving of
this high honor than the eminent Mis-
sissippian We have named.

The Leaders, Suggestion Meeting the
Endorsement Of the State Press.

IL Southern man is to be given the
second place on the National Demo
cratic ticket next year-and there is no
good reason why he should not-THE
LEADER suggests that the ticket read,
VIM. j. Bryan, Of Nebraska, and X. II.
Henry, Of Mississippi. Like Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Henry is of the younger genera
tion, who has reached his majority
since the close of the great civil war.
He has been a lifelong Democrat of
unfaltering fidelity to party and party
principle. In point of ability he will
easily rank with the men who have
held the vice presidential office. He
has never held political office, but
he has national reputation as a
journalist and party leader. In 1884
he was made chairman of special
committee delegated by the National
Democratic Convention to bear res
olutions of greeting and cordial
sympathy to that great New York
statesman, Samuel. j. Tilden, and he
has been a delegate from Mississippi
to every National Democratic Con
vention since, thus becoming person
ally known to and placed in touch
with the principal party leaders from
all portions of the Union. He is an ar

No Bridge Across the Homochit'o.


After much delay and evasion, the
New Jersey Steel and Iron Co. OF Tren-
ton. N J.. has forfeited it's contract for
erecting steel bridge over the Homo
chitto river on the Brookhaven and
Union Church road near n. r. G. Wat
sons. It will be remembered that the
contract was awarded to the New Jer-
sew Co. at the March meeting OF the
Board for the sum of $4,000, with a
five years guarantee, that company be-
ing the lowest of II bidders. The Board
required all bidders to accompany their
bids with certified check for $4,000
as earnest money. In accepting the
bid of the New Jersey Company, it was
made one of the conditions that the
Company should, within 80 days there
after enter into bond in the sum Of
$4,000 for the faithful performance OF
the work according to the contract and
plans and specifications, the Board,
meanwhile holding on to the company's
certified check.
Pending the expiration of the 30 days
in which the bond was to be furnish
ed the New Jersey Company be-
gan higgling with President Parsons to
secure certain notifications of the
contract and failing in this, they allow
ed the 30 days to expire without giving
the bond. The matter then dragged
along, all efforts of the President of
the Board and the county attorneys to
bring them to terms proving of no avail,
until four weeks ago, when the Board
determined to demand the payment of
the certified check for $4,000, which
the county still held. The check was
forwarded through the Commercial
Bank for collection, and after quite an
unusual delay was paid, no letter or
explanation being received regarding
the New Jersey Companys breach of
contract.
This means that the question of
bridging the Homochitto stands just
where 1t did six months ago, with the
county 500 ahead in the way of forfeit
money, THE LEADER hopes, however,
1hat the Board will not let it rest long
III TINS shape but set about making a
new and successful effort in that direc-
ton.
IL Is alleged that the sudden rise in
IRON and steel very soon after the con-
tract was awarded to the New Jersey
company, SO that they could not meet
their bid without heavy loss, is the
cause OF the forfeiture. Be this as il
may $4,000 is very poor compensation
10 the county for the loss it has sus
tained by their failure, and it seems to
us claim for still further damages
ought to lie against the company. We
nope the Board and it's attorneys will
look carefully into this and if further
manages can be collected, hold then
toaccount.
