"McComb complains of telephone

have they effected a consolidation of

The farmers are all going to plant a

did not plant much cotton last year
and we realized fair price, and the

crop of '9S, and it is to be hoped that
we will be fortunate enough to get
good price for this years crop. The

DEWEY ACdNDIDATE.

Admiral Dewey has announced him
self rs a candidate for the presidency
on the broad and rather indefinite plat
form of The Constitution and the
cepta nomination from either the Re
publicans or Democrats on this plat
form. The announcement has caused
feelings of mingled surprise and amuse-
ment, for the politicians of neither old
party take it very seriously.
4 Washington special says the an
nouncement that Admiral Dewey is a
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation before any convention that may
accept him, while it gave surprise, Great
ed no sensation in political circles here.
On the contrary, the admiral is not
taken seriously by either party or the
local press. The latter think that he has
been ill-advised, and the suggestion is
made that if he is really candidate he
should resign from the navy. At the
some humorous comment. Senator
Hanna observed
"Dewey's announcement should have
been made on the 1st of April
Fools day"
He added that the admiral would not
be the Republican nominee.
Representative Dinsmore remarked:
when a man merries his troubles be
gin"
Mr.. Sulzer, of New York. and Chair
man Jones, of Arkansas, both declared
that Bryan would be nominated by the
Democrats and would defeat either
Dewey or Mckinley.
Representative Dick said that the ad-
miral had always been considered Re-
publican and that he was an expansion
list, two very good reasons why the Dem
ocrats AMI Populsts would not want
him, and that the Republicans already
had their candidate.
Said Representative Weeks:
His wifes ambition has overcome
his judgment. think her desire for
social advancement is responsible for
the interview. OF course we admire
the admirals bravery, but he is not an
ideal candidate for the presidency"
These interviews illustrate the trend
of opinion among all parties. 1t has
been intimated that some of the gold
Democrats had been working upon
Dewey to play the martyr for them
this year, as the Buckner and Palmer
ticket did in 1896, but it is not believed
that he could get much of a following
as an Independent candidate.
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, in
speaking of Admiral Dewey's presiden-
tial announcement, said
THE statement in regard to the presi-
dency purporting to come from Admi-
raj Dewey is as much of q surprise to me
as it can be to any one. The subject of
politics has not been referred to be-
tween us in the slightest matter, di-
rectly or indirectly, since his statement
soon after his return last fall. The
substance of that was, as | recall it
that he did not propose to be a candi-
date for the presidency or engage in
politics in any way"

BURHELL JACKSON WRITES TO
THE GOVERNOR.

A Jackson correspondent says Gov
ernor Longino received letter last
Wednesday night from Burwell Jack
son, prominent colored man OF
Franklin county, convicted of man
slaughter at the last term of the cir
cult court, begging him to come to the
penitentiary to see him on his arrival
there. Jackson arrived by the time
his letter did, Travelling Sergeant
Henry having brought him in on the
same train. He is due to serve SEN
tence of fifteen years for manslaughter
having shot and killed a neighbor
who made himself too promiscous-like
around Mrs. Jackson during the alb
sence of her husband from home. The
letter is we'll written and very touch
ing. The prisoner admitted his un-
worthiness, and suggested that he
might be considered presumptious in
asking the governor of a great State to
visit him at the penitentiary, but for

governor that Christ was convicted on
the testimony of two bribed and cor
rupt witnesses. 1t is very probable the
governor will give the prisoner hear
ing at the earliest opportunity. Ser
geant Henry states that Jackson left
q
black, in Franklin, and that they gave
him quite an ovation on his departure
from the county Jail. The prisoner
has been very prominent as a politi
clan and as school teacher in his
