A Jackson dispatch says: Numer-
Gus conferences are being held by
the Gotten oil manufacturers of Mis-
sissippi relative to the controlling
prices to be paid for seed The mills
are now paying SIG per ton, and as
the crop is 80 per cent short, it is
the general belief that the price will
advance to at least $18 within the next
few weeks.
The manufacturers say, however,
they cannot afford to pay more than
the present price, and that they are
losing money on seed products at the
prevailing figure. 1t is believed by
some people interested that two-thirds
Of the mills will be closed down by
Christmas on account OF the seed
shortage.

What is the purpose of the campaign
lie? Is it to amuse the people? 1t
certainly does not influence voters. AS
a general thing it is so easily detected
that no one regards it seriously.

cure the services of those who have
a talent for manufacturing lies re-
speeding the opposing candidates or
the opposing party, and nay them in
accordance with the success with
which they discharge the duties re-
CURED of them. Now and then a cam
paign lie is set afloat that is really
injurious to the opposite party, and
then there is a great effort to coun-
teract its effect. Usually, however,
no attention is paid to campaign lies,
and they are forgotten almost as soon
as they appear in print.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS.
Late Returns from Sullivan's Hollow
Feud.

Hon. Joseph J. Stubs, member of
the legislature from Smith county,
was in Jackson few days ago and
brings some fresh news concerning
the famous Sullivan's Hollow feud.
He states that when the recent in
dictments were brought against Sam
Sullivan aud Mack and Vernon Howell
for the killing of j. w. Sullivan, a
cousin of the man first named, indig-
nation was so high in the community
that it became necessary for the
sheriff to remove his prisoners by
stealth to the Simpson county Jail to
prevent wholesale lynching. Hent
Sullivan, f. T. Sullivan and Joseph
Sullivan were also indicted by the
grand jury, but they Immediately left
and have not been seen since, al
though it is believed that they are in
hiding in an adjoining county.
The feud is family affair and has
become so complicated during the
past two years that it is said even
the principals do not fully realize to
what side they are aligned. Sulli-
vans Hollow is one of the widest
communities in the south, it is said,
and its reputation is so bad that the
revenue officers are afraid to visit it,
although several large wildcat dis
tilleries are known to exist in the
neighborhood and "pine-top" is man
ufactured in large quantities. A pair
of revenue officers visited the local
ity several years ago and they have
never returned, The new Gulf G. Ship
Island road runs within a short dis
lance Of Sullivan's Hollow and it is
thought that the advent of the steam
cars will have salutary effect upon
the turbulent population.
