Last Tuesday evening, at $50
O'Clock. Mr.. Chas. II. Hill aud Miss

The Church was crowded TO its

There seems to be q fight on the
part Of the Nowlands to try and run
the Julia out of the Memphis aud
Vicksburg trade by cutting freight
rates 10 such an extent that it is los
ing business even if the Delta was
loaded fiat each trip. This is wrong,
and no boat can run long at it. Cut
ting freight rates down to losing
price is not done for the benefit of the
consignees or persons who have freight
to ship; It is done 10 drive the opposi-
ton boat out of the trade, and when
this is done, freight rates go up higher
than ever. We regret to see this
there is enough business for these two
boats leaving Memphis on different
days. The Nowlands are first class
steamboalmen aud popular gentlemen,
but they are doing wrong in making a
fight on the owners of the Julia, and If
they are not careful they will find
that they are hurting themselves to
such an extent that it will be difficult
to regain. The Julia 10 not cutting
rates, and her charges are not now and,
never were, exorbitsnt, aud we have
heard a half dozen of the leading mer-
chants of our town say that they
would support the Julia on account
of this fight being made on her, simply
to drive her out of the trade.

The State platform is broad

stand on.
When the Amendment is adopt-
ed 1t will be constitutional. That
is why it is being submitted to a
vote of the people. It could not
be made constitutional otherwise.
In fact, the amendment, when
adopted, as it surely will be in
August, will be part and parcel
of the constitution itself. See!

The negro has ever voted as a

make a return of such condition,
forever henceforth impossible by
voting for the amendment.
