THE SENATORIAL RACE.

The withdrawal of the Hon. .Jno.
Sharpe Williams from the senatorial
race was rs unexpected by his friends
us was his entering the race after
announcing to the people of the
state at Winona his determination
not to do SO. In his manly letter OF
withdrawal he admits the lines OF
the campaign are too closely drawn
for him to win. BY remaining in
the race it might have caused a dead
lock in the legislature, but this was
not what was desired by himself or
the state. The endorsement of
McLaurin's administration or it's
condemnation was the issue, and up-
on it was the vote being polled.
Had he carried Wilkinson ounty
hope might have led him on. but
when it was announced an Allen
victory, he decided that as Wilkin-
son went, SO would the counties OF
North Mississippi, and Il farther cx-
penSe of money and time was rash
ness. lie withdrew in Il manner
that adds honor to the man. Mr.,
Williams withdrawal adds strength
to McLaurin'> cause, and while it
denOunces the published statements
that he was brought out by the Allen
crowd to bring about d deadlock in
the legislature to defeat McLaurin.
still his withdrawing at the time he
did left an impression with a large
class OF voters in his district that
McLaurin would win, they voted for
him to be on the victorious side. The
Sap"lio vote OF Kinds, which was
expected to have made the acts OF
the administration whittier than
snow. has, since two weeks driving
out, brought to view Il deeper stain
than ever the boss Jonas UamiIto.

DAUGHTERS OF The coNFEpERAcY.

Mrs. T. r. Henderson, president of the
state d. of e.. to make the paper the
state of the Daughters of the
Confederacy until they can establish a
paper or magazine of their own.
At the beginning, it is our intention, il
the members of the order will furnish
us with matter, of giving each week
at least two columns to their order and
increasing it as circumstances justify.
Next week We will publish the presi-
dents and secretaries of each chapter in
the state. Those secretaries who have
0 sent in the names Of the presidents
We ask that they do so at once. IF
possible it will be our aim to make
this a very interesting feature OF the

Zltion.

political disgrace and demagogery.
On that stand we enlisted in the
aus Of Williams or Allen as against
McLaurln. as from the reports sent
out~by Jackson citizens, his drunken
Sprees and political trades in that
city. as we'll as his shady political
appointments and acts in the state
have brought upon it's fair e%scutchion
a stain that only his defeat would re
move. The vote Of LeflOre has Sus-
tanned our position and if the balance
Of the state does not do so we
will always feel we have done our
duty, and the future will prove it..
Below we give the strength of. the
opposing senatorial candidates. Some
OF the counties have not voted, but
we place their vote as we believe, it
will go. This leaves seven counties
as the lighting ground, and it will
take the legislature, we believe, yet
to decide, as there is talk on both
sides that some representatives will
not follow instructions.

THE LEFlORE PLANTER,

1t has been said by some one that
sit is not what we make, makes US
rich but what we save" There is
no better illustration of this truth
than the Leiore county planter Of
today. His large plantations are
planted mostly in cotton. no pastures
of any consequence are thought Of.
The raising of cOr is only with an
eye to feed the stock on his own place.
A majority, as the assessment rolls
show, have not over a SOW and ten
pigs On the plantation for meat: two
COWS and calves are the beef and dairy
dependence for the family. With
this kind Of farming, what has the
harvest been? 1t has been an enorm-
Gus cotton crop, which lowered the
price of the staple: every dollar that
it brought last year went for labor.
meat, meal and farming utensils, and
what the planter received for his
share was the favor OF some Bank or
Syndicate to advance him the money
to run on this year, provided he
would attach his signature to Il note
which promised to pay &c. $50.
Such methods OF farming will only
result in failure, sooner or later. The
time for a change has arrived and
the sooner our planters grasp it, the
sooner they will free themselves OF
debt. Make one half the land pro-
duce the cotton it takes your planta-
tiOu to raise today, it can be done by
fer t%iliZatiOn and rest, with a pea
or corn crop on it. Raise corn and
meat enough at least to supply the
hands on your place: then if cotton
goes to ; cents. you will be better off
than you are today, for they will owe
you and not you owe some northern
pork and corn raiser or the banks for
the III Ii Il mortgage is over the
farm, sell, if possible, enough land to
clear it: for, ii you don't, free
''niggers and worry'' will soon cancel
it with your life.
The above are PLAIN facts but true
ones, and while you might say they
came from Il newspaper editor, such
is true, but 1874 acres of land, a saw
mill, and free niggers gave him the
but too late to change
before the mortgage and interest had
taken possession OF bis place, and all
had left was the valuable lesson
which he now gives you-~so beware.

grunts and the mention OF Bryan's
name, set the tigers to roaring, and
before he had finished the teachings
of his Texas trainers, he had won the
good will and admiration of every
tiger present, who were as far from
feeding upon his precious self as the
lions were upon the biblical David.
This fourth of July celebration was
expected to be the open voice Of
Democracy against trusts, the begin
ming of the great national democratic
fight, but behind all Of this, was the
desire of Tammany to boost their
champion, Mayor Van Wyck, for the
presidency, but Ex-GOv. Hogg, whose
utterances on free silver, the trusts
and anti-expansion, woke up the
sleepy tigers ard at the mention Of
Bryan's name, set the tigers wild and

We have opposed Governor McLau.

his defeat been brought about through
the vote of the negro, as was his vic
tory in Carroll county, we would have
chosen the lesser of the two evils as
be believed and supported him for
the place. When we first read a
statement OF these facts in the papers
we could not believe 1t. but from the
lips OF responsible citizens who saw it
with their " eyes, negroes in Car
rOlltOn voting, we are ashamed to
confess that the statement is true,
and that McLaurin'S victory is due
to their vote. From the time that
AmeS, the carpet bag governor, with
his negro supporters, ruled the state,
the question of freeing the state of
this ignorant, selling vote, was the
problem OF her statesmen, and not
until the constitutional convention
Of 1890, was it solved. Carroll coun-
ty sent the statesman who settled the
question. 1t was the Hon. j. L.
ucurHe, the great constitutional law

Mississippi, white supremacy. Let

The referendum bill has been
passed by both houses and plac-
ed in the hands Of the governor.
The dispensary bill has passed
the senate and is now before the
house. A strenuous effort has
been made to defeat the measure
but it is believed that the house
will measure up to it's duty by
obeying the demands of the peo-
pie as expressed at the last cleo
tion and place upon the statutes
q reasonably good law that will
take the liquor business out OF
the hands of private parties and
invest it in the state. It is gen
orally believed that this can be
successfully and profitably ac-
complished if the right kind Of q
law is framed, and the people de-
mand that an honest effort along
this line be made.
Since writing the above it is
learned that the bill has beer
defeated in the house by a vote
45 to 81, and if this proves final
Gov. Lee will be perfectly justi
fed in carrying out his threat o
calling an extra session and com

NEW FIGURING MILL,
An Additional Industry to be
Added To the Business Of
MilbAnk.

For some time a proposition
for the erection and operation
Of new Touring mill has been
talked of, the proposition ema-
mating from Minneapolis parties
who recognized the location here
at Milbank as one of peculiar
value for the operation Of the
milling busiress. While this
new enterprise has been talked
OF for some time the HERALD
ADVANCE has not deemed it pru-
dent to speak of it until it's es-
tabllshment became a certainty,
which is now the case. The
parties interested in the enter
prise asked the citizens to donate
a site selected for the mill, and
this was speedily secured, or at
least the amount to purchase the
same. and the purchase has been
cousumated during the week
The mill is to have a capacity of
$50 barrels a day and is to be
fitted with the latest improved
machinery and appliances for
flour manufacturing, and we
understand orders for a portion
of the machinery have already
been given. The mill building is
to be completed by June 1st.
and equipped with machinery
and in running order by August
1st. The mill will be located
south of the farmers elevator
and just west Of Wood Bros.
lumber yard, on the northwest
corner of block Is, lots IL, 13
and IA having been secured for
site, and sidetrack connections
with the railroad will be put in.
At the head of the enterprise is
Mr.. @. H. Wagner of Mime
apolis, and other capitalists of
that city, who have ample capital
back of them to keep the mill
supplied with wheat for steady
running. The new mill will be
an important addition to the in
dustries Of M.lbank, affording
an additional market for wheat,
and will also prove of inestimable
value IN securing a plentiful
supply of feed in the shape of
mill stuffs, for which there is a
constantly increasing demand by
farmers engaged in stock rails
ing and dairying.

Aberdeen News. Sheriff King
OF Sphinx county and City Marsh
al LIE Croix of Mellette arrived in
Aberdeen this morning and after
spending several hours quietly
IN the city, at 2 o'clock created
quite a sensation by arresting J.
=. Levers, the saloonkeeper on
the charge of being an accessory
to the burglary Of the store OF
Henry Braun at Mellette last
week. The officers have not Civ
en- information as to the evidence
on which the warrant for Levers
arrest was sworn out, further
tuan to say he is believed to have
knowledge of the intention of
Grant Skillman and Jimmie
kearns, alias Carroll, to commit
the crime and after it was COM
mitted and Skiilman was arrest
ed, assisted in the secretion of
kearns and helped him escape
from town. 1t is said the cigars
stolen were secreted~ in Levers
barn and there found by the
officers when Skillman was
arrested. 1t is claimed that
kearns, the man who has escaped
has done time in the penitentiary
at Saltwater, Mimi, and is now
wanted in Minneapolis and st.
Paul. 1t is claim ed that he had
with him here fine kit Of bur
glars tools aud was an expert in
their use. 1t is alleged that Skill
man has "squealed" but what
foundation there is for the state
ment the Sphinx county officers
were not ready to say to the pub
lie today.
J. E. Levers will have a hearing
on the charge of being an access
ory before the act at Mellette to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o clock.
