As already stated in THE TINES,
Messrs. b. L. Lee, Geo, G. John.
son, }. II. Wynn, w. w, Stone,
w. A. Everman, j, ID. Smythe,
j. S. Walker, Geo. NJ. Helm, j
7. Atterbury, j. c. Lusby, and
H. c. MCGEE, have incorporated
themselves into company to
build railroad to commence at q
point north of Swain station, and
run thence south a distance of 25
miles to the intersection of Muir
ply bayou and the Sunhower river.
The proposed road runs through
the garden spot of Washington
county. Every one of its projec-
tors is a man of fine business judg-
ment, high standing, and impor-
tant landed interest, Moreover,
each and all of them are citizens
of the county, not only landhold-
ers, but actual residents, and their
names alone are a guarantee of
good faith, honest purpose and
success. The new road may easily
be one of two things TO Greenyille
an invaluable feeder, or q means
of diverting from this city the
tribute it is entitled to from the
rich and prosperous section
through which the road is to pass.
1t is not possible to believe that
Greenville will be so blind to its
own interest as to allow this region
to become tributary to Memphis,
or will be slow to seize upon the
means now offered to make and
keep it always part of this clty's
legitimate territory.
The matter will be presented to
business men of Greenville in a
short time, and The TINES has no
doubt that whatever assistance is
needed will be promptly and gladly
rendered for the completion of an
enterprise of such vital Importance
to the CITY.

A SHOWING DEMANDED

The MoLaurin Levee Board
should take the people into its con
idence. They want the facts as
to the expense of administering
the affairs of the district. A show
ing is demanded True, the sec
rotary and treasurer publishes his
report periodically, but no tax
payer can analyze 1t so as to arrive
at the desired information.
1t is generally understood that
the Levee Board has an army of
employees, and that it has been
unduly extravagant in this connec-
ton. This belief may be right or
wrong. The Democrat simply
does not knew, but the suspicion
is natural one, in view of the
fact that the Board, while going
into Office with loud cry of re-
trenchment and reform has not
reduced the salary of a single Off
cial, but, on the contrary, prompt
ly proceeded to
ADVANCE THE SALARY OF ITS PRES
IDENT FROM 5000 TO 1900 PER
ANNUM.
We suggest that the secretary
and treasurer publish a list, giving
the name of every official and en-
ployee during the months of De-
cember and January last, with u
statement of the salary paid each
man, and what his employment
was. 1t might be well also to add
an itemized statement of all other
expenses. The public, with these
facts before it, can then form
Just and intelligent opinion rs to
the charge of extravaganza.

MERCILEss CRUELTY.

Complaints of the most imper-
lous character have been made tC
The TINES of the inhumanity
with which mules are treated in
the work ON the South end of the
levee IN front of Greenville, rear
the sawmill. The writer has
not been a personal witness Ito
the abuses complained of, but is
assured, from the character of his
informants, that the condition is
one which calls imperatively for
some steps to amend it. The mules
are said to be beaten in the most
shocking and merciless manner,
while covered with sores, prodd
flesh and fostering wounds, and
apparently worked without the
least regard to considerations of
humanity. The writer knows that
levee camp is no place for the s.
p. G. A., and that the conditions
are often such that contractors,
while deploring the necessity for
the sacrifice of the stock, are I'M
able to prevent it; but in the in
stance above mentioned, the cruel
ty is charged as being apparently
wanton, brutal and unnecessary.
Persons who have visited the work
state that they have been compell-
ed to leave haatily because the
sight OF the bleeding and tor
tured animals, and the effiuvium
from their rotting flesh made
them sick. A practical business
man says that we deserve to be
overfowed, if we must buy our
security at the cost of such suffer
ings to dumb and helpless brutes.
The TINES feels constrained to
give voice to public opinion on
this subject, and publishes this
article as its expression.

enemy's loss was heavy, and three
babies and an old woman surren-
dered and were sent to the rear.
General Stovepolish is now pre-
pairing to take Hoolahoola, which
isalso an important strategic point,
as it contains a rope factory, and
at the present time our officers are
in need of hammock sings.
Casualties on our side few. Pri-
vate jackson fell into a muskrat
hole and sprained his ankle. Cor
poral Bulger stepped into a ditch

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

I Tn Saturday afternoon, March
goth, a most distressing accident
occurred on the narrow gauge
branch of the Southern Railway
at Estill, resulting in the instant
death of Mrs. A. A. Gillespie, and
painful injury to her companion,
Miss Phillips. The two ladies
were walking on the dummy"
track, which runs parallel to the
Main line, and did not heed the
whistle of the appro aching train,
thinking it was on the main track.
Mrs. Gillespie had dropped some
flowers she had gathered, and
stopped in the middle of the track
to pick them up, when she was
struck by the engine and instantly
killed, her neck being broken.
Miss Ella Phillips, her companion,
was struck at the same moment,
but her injuries, while painful,
are not serious. The accident was
most shocking and deplorable,
Mrs. Gillespie being one of the
best known ladies of the neigh
borhood, and greatly admired for
her accomplishments and personal
advantages. She was the eldest
daughter of DR.. j. 7. Atterbury,
and was only nineteen years old,
having been married about four
months. Miss Phillips is from
Missouri, and is a govcrness in
the family of DR.. Atterbury.
Every effort was used by the
conductor and engineer to avert
the accident, which arose solely
from The mistake made by the
ladies in supposing the train to be
on another track.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Greenville Times, one Of
the most ably edited papers In the
state, pronounces for the Hon.
Robt. Powell of Madison, in the
following strong and forcible Ian
guage as its candidate for Cover
nor:-Wesson Mirror.
We do not know whether the
above high compliment was paid
THE TINES inadvertently or not;
but, as the Mirror sends,us mark
ed copy OF the paper containing
the article, we presume it is a bo-
ma fide boquet, and make our ac-
acknowledgements accordingly. Tho
Picayune's Mississippi correspon-
dent made the same mistake, cred.
lting the editorial endorsing the
Hon. Robt. Powell to THE GREEN
VILE TINES, and correcting it in
a subsequent issue, in which it was
stated that THE TINES had already
announced in favor of Judge Lon
gino, and erediting the article in
question to the Coffeeville Times,
The GREENvILLE TINES begs to
assure the Mirror of the high es-
TEEN in which it holds Judge
Powell, and to repeat its thanks
for the compliment paid it.

RIVER SITUATION.

The gauge here reads 38.S feet
this morning. The river has
crept up for for weeks, rising
more slowly than it has done be.
fore for years, and after a steady
rise since the middle of February
is still within Its banks, except in
low places and barrow pits. The
exceptionally slow rise and COM
paratively good weather of the
past two weeks has enabled levee
men to work with speed and good
effect, and the good work is still
going on wherever practicable. At
number of places, notably along
the IssaqqeRa line, work has been
stopped by the encroachment of
the water, and in Bolivar cOun-
tv also contractors have been COM
PEELED to suspend operations in
places, and in others are seriously
interfered with by water, which
is rapidly filling the barrow pits.
Immediately in front of Green
vile the almost completed work at
SCOTS camp is still proceeding I'M
checked, and is most satisfactory
in character. 1t will probably be
finished before the water is high
enough to stop it. 10 anxiety is
felt, either by engineers or the pub
lie on the score Of high water, and
planting operations ave progress
ing as actively as possible, the
volume of water now in sight from
The upper rivers not being sufficient |
o increase the height of the river
much, if any, beyond the danger
inc. Much depends on safety from
overflow this year TO Greenville

Both are enjoying Q solid and en-
;ouragipg growth and improve

will place both upon a

'erity than they have ever before
njoyed. 4

PERSONALITIES AND STATE ISSUES,

The low plane and personal
character of the speeches at
Ninona is adversely COM
commented upon by press and
people alike. 1t could not have
been otherwise, Governor Nc
Laurin is himself responsible for
lit. His administration has been
personal. His actions, writings
and utterances have all been onthe
lowest plane of personal politics,
If he knows anything about State
issues, they rank, in his considera-
ton, far and away below the per-
sonal interests of the Clan Nc
Laurin, and the securing of the
emoluments of Office.
How is it possible to discuss
high questions of State polity with
"a man who appeals to the public
to pray for him that he may resist
the temptation to drunkenness,
tells the old women of his congre-
CATION how he cried over his sins,
bers for votes on the ground
that he went barefooted until he
was grown and boasts that he
habitually outrages the rul 5 of
good sense and good manners in
his eating and drinking
The same papers which are max
inc an outcry against the harsh
personalities of Mr.. Allen at
Winona hadnothing to say while
Mr. McLaurin was touring the
State with stock in trade of
speeches telling of the collection
of back taxes for which he was
in no way responsible, Of anec-
dotes Of his own squalid boyhood
and his methods of eating, and
uubridled personal abuse of Muir
ray Smith, Charles Scott, the gold
bugs, railroads, newspapers and
his opponents generally.
Mr.. Aliens severity was a shock |
to some of his auditors. This was
1t is always a shock tol
see severe punishment administer
ed, But when we stop to reflect
that it was deserved, the sense Of
shock is lost in the satisfaction Of
knowing that justice has been
done. The truth of Mr.. Aliens
lrraignment has not been disput-
sd. If it was true it was deserved,
and McLaurin brought his just
3hastlsement upon his own head.
The sentiment of modification
S also natural one, and credit
lble to those who felt it. 1t is al.
degrading thing to see the chief
executive Of the State held up to
public contempt, stripped of his
mask of cant and hypocrisy, and
showed in all the baroness of his
Iemagogism, humbug, selfshness
md lncompetency.
The campaign will be humili-
ting one for Mississippi, but the
State has got to be cleaned, and it

The following communication
has been received from Mr.. f
H. Tompkins, whose important
work on the subject of the Ripar-
ian Lands of the Mississippi River
is now approaching completion.
The matter is one in which our
levee board and engineers have
taken active interest, and the work
is expected to be of great value In
determining Federal action in re-
gard to the levee system.
At a Joint meeting of The Cairo
Board of Trade and the Bushes S
Mems League of Cairo, Illinois,
held this day, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopt
ed:
Whereas, The Committee on
Commerce of the United States
after thorough investigation, has
recommended that the Mississippi
River levee should be completed
and strengthened from the Passes
to the head of the alluvial Basin
above Cairo, Illinois, and have es-
timated that eighteen or twenty
million Of dollars is sufficient for
this purpose, and
Whereas, The raising of the
present line above danger of over
flow and the completion of the
whole system would open up to
settlement and cultivation millions
of acres of the most fertile land in
the world, capable of adding an
nually millions of dollars to the
internal commerce of the United
States, therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the
business organizations of the City
of Cairo, Illinois, promise a cor
dial cooperation to the Inter
State Mississippi River Improve
ment and Leyee Association in its
efforts to bring this important sub
ject to the attention of the Com
mercial bodies of the United States.
Resolved, End, That we hearth
ly join in the general endorsement
of the work now being proposed
by Mr.. Frank H. Tompkins which |
will be full presentation of all
facts entering into this great ques-
ton and we promise our assistance
TO secure It's wide circulation
throughout tho country.
Resolved, Bird, That the Secre-
aries of the commercial bodies of
his city do all they can to notify
similar bodies in the alluvial sec
ion of the Mississippi River of
his action.

90 to Havana was received very
recently, and requires that he go
just as soon as his successor as
post surgeon to Battery G. arrives,
which will be within the next week.
DR.. Archer did service in the vel

that he is now ordered
