Ed. Mercury: IL has been repor-

that the Mississippi Election law
(which ours was patterned from
does not disfranchise any white peo-
pie. / wrote to a cousin Of mine
who is an ex-Sheriff and Democrat
to know the truth. He writes me
il does disfranchise all blacks and
whites who cannot read snd write
or understand the constitution when
read to them, and i'm addition must
have paid all taxes due and unpaid
for two years before the election.
This is no Glenn-Cleveland letter,
but any one can see IL if they want
! to, and you are at liberty TO use this
and my name in connection with
same, and if they want, will give
them the name of the man who
wrote me.

BUNc0MBE COUNTY POLITICS.

Joint Canvas.-Craig's Bulldozers-Lusk
Denounces SumervilIe Craig in n Hole.
Buncombe county politics waxing
hot. They have joint canvass. Mr..
Lusk is too much for Craig. The Ivy
correspondent on July 10Th writes
to the Asheville Gazette, among 9TH
er things he says:
"Craig read an affidavit charging
that the editor of the Gazette for the
sum Of five thousand dollars paid by
Pritchard, Harkins and Lusk, agreed
to oppose the constitutional amend
ment. This affidavit was made by
w. Roy Sumerville, a former en-
ploye on the Gazette.
"ColOnel Lusk arose and said the
man who made that affidavit COM
mitted perjury and is base liar.
"Craig expressed surprise that Lush
denied Sumerville's charge. Col
Lusk replied, "There is not scin
tilla of truth in it."
"Craig in his last speech used vul
gar language in the presence of la
dies.
"The people ofIvy are indignant a
Craig bringing bulldozers here from
Asheville. If trouble originates ii
this campaign it will be due to tn
; important body guard that accompe
nies Craig and he will be responsible
therefor.

SALT LAKE TO LOS ANGELES. The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Companies Both Interested in the

Chairman Walker. of the Santa Fe board of directors, was interviewed. recently. in New York in reference to the proposed building of Il railroad between Salt Lake and Los Angeles. ill which he is quoted as saying that a corporation is in progress of Organiza- tion having in view the construction of q railroad to connect the Mojave division of the Santa Fe (at some point between MOhave and the Needless with Salt Lake City. The territory fin question has been examined by engi- neers. and the most desirable line ap- pears to be one which would run north easterly from some uOIIt in the Santa Fe Pacific between BarstOw and Bag dad Both Southern Pacific and Atchi- son interests will be represented in the new company. The formation of alleged in the western press to indi- cate the existence of a deal between the Southern Pacific and the AtchisOn i'll respect to California traffic general ly. but it means nothing of this kind. beyond the well-known fact that the management of both of these systems are opposed to unnecessary railroad construction. Each believes that when one line of rails can be utilized by both companies that course is preferable to the building of parallel lines

AN OLD RAILROAD TICKET.

An exchange notes the fact that "a resident of San Francisco recently made a trip out of that city on ticket purchased fourteen years ago. The ticket was unlimited and $60 had been paid for it. It was bought March s. 1SS6. As the purchaser was about to use it rate war intervened. and he bought another ticket for less money. He had Ho occasion to use the first ticket until a month ago" Apropos of the above. the editor of the Journal Miner has several miles left of a 1000 mile ticket issued by the Chicago. Bur lington and Quincy road, away back in 1872 or 1873. \ portion of the ticket was used prior to the emigration to California of its owner in 1874. After q residence of several years west of the Rocky mountains it SOwnep went east, and present tains it's owner went east. and present cd the ticket for passage over the c. B. and Q. out of Quincy It was a new one on the conductor despite its age of twelve or thirteen years, and after carefully examining it he concluded it was good for several miles ride yet and he proceeded to punch it. The ticket is the old form card, with the miles printed in figures around tine margin. It does not contain any limi- tatfon and does not even contain the date of issue.

WATER WORKS FOR JEROME.

The recent issue of the Jerome News gives the following concerning the proposed water system for that great copper camp:
 At last it looks as if Jerome was going to have fire protection through an adequate water supply. The council has taken hold of the matter in the proper way and progress can now be reported.
 Surveyor l. l. Fisher. of Prescott, has been employed and is now at work making estimates on the cost of the plant. He was instructed by the council at it's last meeting to push his work at fast as possible, and and it is estimated that by the first day of September. 1900. Jerome will have one of the most perfect water works systems in the southwest. and then insurance companies will be falling over each other to secure risks in this city.
 IT iS the unanimous wish of the citizens of Jerome, and more eSpe- ciallv the heavy taxpayers, that the council continue to advance this work. The grading of streets can be done later Protect our homes and busi- ness houses against fire and we can all afford to pay taxes for street grading and other less important i'm prOvementS
 Under the present state of affairs he who owns q home or business house spends all his time In schemlng 10 put enough money aside ito build again when the next fire comes.
 The work at present layed out by the council and which is now being
 figured on by MT. Fisher, is to build two or four tanks near the present city tank on the water line of the ! United Verde Copper company above
 the town. These tanks will hold an aggregate of I50.0O0 gallons or wa ! ter. From these tanks will be run 10 The engine house q SiX-inch cASt-irOn main Al GirOuX street the main will be tapped with fOur-inch lateralS
 which will run 300 feet north md south. with plug at the end of each. With 100 feet of hose all of the resi- dence buildings on the hillside above Main street as far south as HulFs corral and north to the city limits will
 be thoroughly protected against fire Surveyor Fisher estimates that the pipe and the laying thereof will cost about S6jO0; the tanks. whether they be two or four. about S750. The eleva- ton of the tanks will give q pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch.
 which will throw water over any house in town.
