Senate ex-Gov. Lowry is ahead. The
following counties have instructed for
him: Carroll Claiborne, Covington,
Franklin, Greene, Hancock, Harrison,
Kinds, jackson, jefferson, Pearl River,
Simpson and Wayne. Senator Sulli-

Wilkinson, Montgomery, Warren
and Wayne. Sharkey, Issaquena

time ago on the long term,
expressed no preference for the short
term whatever
The leader., 1899-07-12

They have the right kind of Missis-
sippians down in Wilkinson county
Out of 800 votes cast in that county
only 121 were given to McLaurin as an
endorsement of his administration as
Governor Allen received 43O and Viii
liams 249. Wilkinson is the home coun-
ty of that chivalrous gentleman and
incorruptible patriot, Lieut.. Gov.
Jones, who was among the first to repu-
date McLaurin and McLaurinism.
The leader., 1899-07-12

their choice as to the Governorship

no: Harrison Issaquena, Lawrence
Marion, Quitman, Sharkey, Washing

have gone for Judge Critz. Leflore
county has instructed for Vardaman.

LONGING UNPLEDGED,

The following telegram from Judge
Longino to the editor of THE LEADER,
in response to the question whether he
had ever made any pledge or promise
to appoint McLaurin to office, if elect
ed Governor, explains itself and is as
explicit as could be desired:
FAYETTE, MISS, July IL, 1899.
b. t. Hobbs, Brookhaven, Miss:
Am positively uncommitted, directly
or indirectly, to appoint McLaurin or
any one else.
A. Fl. LoNFINO
In an interview with Times Demo-
crat correspondent yesterday, Judge
Longino also took occasion to deny the
reports that he favored the mainten-
ance of the levees by the State of Mis-
sissippi or the education of the negroes
in the black counties in the free schools
at the expense of the white children in
the hill counties.

MRS. SELVEY DEAD,

The death of Mrs. E. G. Selvey, which
occurred at her home in West Wheel
ing Saturday evening, was sad blow
to her many friends. While not unex-
pected, it was a severe shock to all who
knew her. She was a loving mother,
a kind friend and a wise counsellor.
She leaves a family of ten children
five boys and five girls-all married,
and thirty-two grandchildren to mourn
her, and their many friends extend to
them their sympathy in their sad be-
reavement.

water supply Of innocent tenants on the
block. The matter was argued, and
will probably be passed upon by the
court to-day.
The block is supplied with two separ-
ate pipes, and the water board claims
that the tenants are responsible for the
water rent.
The case is one of those arising from
time to time in the administration of
the water department, and appears to
present no unusual points.

WILL YOU PARTICIPATE?

To the Business Men of Wheeling:
AT its twelfth annual Labor Day cell
ebration, in August, 1898, the Trades
Assembly cleared much more money
than it ever cleared before, because of
the money saved by emitting a parade
from its programme. the expenses at
tending parade being very large.
Those members of the Assembly who
opposed the parade gave this as their
principal reason, besides expressing a
fear that it might prove a failure
through lack of interest on the part
of both the business men and the mem
bers of the various local unions-not
lack of interest on the part of the lat

ter in their various organizations but
simply in the parade. Although they
said: II will walk, they much prefer
not to.
Those members who urged that the
Assembly should have a parade took
the position that q Labor Day celebra-
ton without a parade died great harm
TO the business interests of the city,
especially to the retailers, as it brought
no one to the city, but we'll nigh de-
populated it in the afternoon: that we
owed the merchants something for the
position they assumed during the late
street car strike and for various other
favors the Assembly had received at
their hands; their members thought
that if the matter was placed before
the business men and manufacturers
in its proper light. they would hardly
hesitate to do their part toward making
the parade a success. 1t was also
claimed that parade, in connection
with the general Labor Day celebra-
ton. well advertised throughout the
territory adjacent TO Wheeling, with
the incentive of reduced fares on rail-
roads entering the city, would occasion
a great influx of strangers on that day;
besides, the gathering of residents of
the city on the principal streets and the
business centers and along the line of
march would make business for the
merchants.
The reduced rate of fares on all rail-
road lines has been secured; posters
have been printed and circulars and
other advertising matter are in the
hands of the printer. which will be
freely and judiciously distributed with
in a reasonable radius of the city, and
every other effort will be brought TO
bear to make this the most pronounced
success of all of our Labor Day Demon
STATIONS.
The contention for the Labor Day
parade was made solely in the interest
OF the business men of Wheeling.
We would most respectfully solicit
the business men-manufacturers are
included, of course-to let all the en-
ployes they can spare from their duties
on that day join in the line of march,
should they so desire; to dress up their
various vehicles in holiday attire and
place them in the line; to cast all the
bunting and gaily-colored fabrics in
their possession to the breeze, and DO
any other good thing that may sug-
gest itself to whoop up the procession.
Again we ask, will you participate?

The City Board of Equalization and
Appeals held its first session yesterday
morning at the City Hall, Chairman
Stroebel presiding and nearly all the
members present. There were in at
tendance, in addition, City Clerk
OBrien. Committee Clerk Worls. AS
SCISSORS Heiskell and Bowers, Collector
Hall, and other interested parties, in
Guiding a number of citizens having
petitions before the Board.
The matter of the discrepancy in the
North Side assessment was taken up
and discussed at some length. Asses
sor Heiskell presented number of
blanks, filled out, which had not been
incorporated in his books, and made
statement that by reason of sickness
and the errors of his clerk. the list
had not been incorporated IN the books
when returned. His general claim was
that when belated and delayed blanks
were returned and added to the books
the total would be equal to that OF last
year. Enquiry, however, after the SEES
sion dissolved, elected the information
that even with all the blanks credited
the assessment would still be short,
and it was stated on the authority of
city official that Chairman Stroebel, of
the Board, would ask for Assessor
Heiskell's resignation. Another high
official stated that as a result OF the
session the Committee determined to
lay the whole matter aside and pro-
coed with the final adjustment OF the
petitions and the books as they APP
peared in the incomplete stage, and
after the business demanding attention
in the several wards was disposed of
an expert accountant would be called
in to take charge of the shortage and
make a final adjustment. The entire
matter occupied the attention of the
Board for quite time, and was then
laid aside. During the discussion Col
lector Hall and others made statements,
explanations and suggestions, all OF
which will be used in guiding the fur
Their course of the Committee.
After disposing of the matter the
Committee took up the First ward pc
titions, and adjourned to the northern
portion of the city, with the assessors,
and the remainder of the day was put
in examining property named in the
petitions for reductions or changes.
This morning the Board will meet
again and will take up Second ward
matters requiring attention.
At the office of the City Clerk it was
stated that petitions were coming in
rapidly and in large numbers, and the
impression was conveyed that there was
more than usual dissatisfaction with
the assessment this year.
There was apparent all around a
certain amount of Discrimination to
furnish detailed and specific statements
of the session of the Board even news
paper men complaining that it was
impossible to ascertain just what was
going on or what had been done. I'm
der the circumstances the above outline
of the session is the best which can
be given at present, and with it the
public must be satisfied for the time
being.

of seed, according to its variety, the
condition of the soil, etc.
In food value it compares favornbly
with clover hay. The seed is very
rich in protein and can be fed advan-
tageously with corn, but they should
be ground before feeding. The price

Foreign residents Of Spanish cities
are amazed to find that the relentless
butchers OF Moriscoes, Lucayans,
Netherlanders, and Cuban insurgents
seem to be the most charitable people
on earth. The famished citizens OF
Cadiz and Havana shared their pittance
with still poorer wretches. Without
a poor-tax, Spanish communities OF
$4,000 self-supporters feel pauper
population of 5000 to 1000. Public
hospitals are thronged with ministers
of mercy. Nor should we shrink from
the confession that in the land OF Tor

kindly than in Puritanical Great Brit
ain. There are Spanish towns where
