AFTER LIQUOR LICENSES.
Revenue Agent Adams Institutes Civil
Proceedings.


State Revenue Agent Adams has
launched new crusade against viola
tors of the liquor laws of Mississippi,
and two proceedings have been insti-
tuted to force persons who have been
convicted of unlawful retailing to pay
the privilege provided by law, notwith-
standing the fact that the individuals
we're conducting an illegal business.
Messrs. Stirling and Harris, of this
city, attorneys for the revenue agent,
have secured writs of attachment
against the property of Bryant Clark
and F. l.. and l.. T. Grisham, of Flora,
claiming delinquents' licenses in each
proceeding amounting to 81, 800, being
500 for the State and an equal amount
for Madison county and the town of
Flora. The parties. we're convicted
some time since in Justices court of
selling liquor without license and they
have been singled out to be proceeded
against on account of their solvency.
AuJhOIlIy lOI Iho lSNOhuO uSOhb D
action is found in section 1890 of the
code, reading as follows:
"Any person who may sell or give
away liquors unlawfully, or allow the
same to be sold or given away at his
place of business, for any purpose
whatever, shall be subject to pay the
State, county and the city town or
village where the offense is committed
each, the sum of $500; and it shall be
the duty of the sheriff and the State
revenue agent, to assess and collect
such sums whenever he is informed
that such sales or gifts have been
made; and such person shall be liable
to criminal prosecution, as in other
cases; and, in addition, the State,
county, city, town or village may sue
for and recover civilly, either jointly
or separately, each, the said sum of
five hundred dollars; and such civil
suit may commence by attachment
without bond"
There is only one other case on
record in Mississippi where prosecu-
tion has been conducted under this
section of the code, this being the suit
of the revenue agent VS.. johnson, in
the circuit court of Claiborne county,
and reported in the 72nd Mississippi,
page 500. The revenue agent was vic
torious in this proceedings. The
Madison county cases will be brought
up for hearing at the circuit court
session in Canton on the fourth Mon
day in November.-Cldrion Ledger.

GIL RONOR

Jackson, Miss. Oct. 2S.--in a dis
course at st. Andrews church yester-
terday Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson,
of the Episcopal diocese of Mississippi,
severely criticised the well known
Protestant revival hymn, "Just as /
Am Without One Plea" declaring that
the words of the hymn are scandalous,
outrageous, immoral, and contain
neither sense nor reason. Bishop
Thompson stated that he once heard
the hymn sung in New Jersey by a
man on the gallows who was about to
be hanged for numbering his wife by
the slow poison route.
Every body to his own opinion, and
we vouchsafe the following:
That the beautiful hymn-beautiful
and true in word and sentiment-will
continue to resound through ages to
come, regardless of belated criticism,
favorable or unfavorable.

DeplOrablc Condition of Affairs
at Scranton.

at Scranton.
Special to the Times-D Democrat
Biloxi, Miss Oct 31.-A conspicuous
and somewhat sensational feature OF
Judge Neville's charge to the Jackson
county grand jury yesterday at Scran-
ton was the reading of parts of letter
written to the Governor of the State
by the mothers" of Scranton, and
sent by the Governor to the judge.
Judge Neville prefaced the reading of
the letter by the statement that for l3
years he had been district attorney in
this district and had never met more
law abiding people than he found in
Jackson county during that time, but
that the letter in his hand disclosed an
appalling condition of affairs; that he
had shown the letter to prominent
citizens and they had declared that
half had not been told. He read from
the letter, which began: I'VE, the
mothers of Scranton, ask you for
Gods sake to save our sons" The let
ter stated that it was the saloon, the
brothel and houses of ill-repute that
we're "demoralizing and running boys
from fifteen years of age up"
"We are afraid" continues the letter,
"that if this condition of affairs is not
stopped trouble will come upon them.
Our people will not do anything
through fear of injury. Can you not
send some one here or do something to
stop these conditions of things?
1--WE charge here that every barroom
man in Scranton except one names
all given but withheld by the judge
sells whisky on Sunday. One of them
keeps his back door open and crowds
can be seen going in and out all day
Sunday. There are at least twenty
notorious houses, conducted by ne
groes, in the town of Scranton. Every
barroom sells liquor to minors"
In conclusion the letter states speci-
fically condition of affairs that is
shocking to every sense of law and
decency-a condition which is imprint
able and almost unreliable.
The letter is signed by number of
ladies of Scranton and its reading to
the jury created profound impress
ion.
Judge Neville, in ringing tones, de-
nounced this condition of affairs, and
impressed upon the jury the impor
tance and necessity of thorough eX-
animation of the matter. He stated
he would give the names of the parties
to the jury later. Citizens went up to
Judge Neville while on the bench and
thanked him for the masterful and
courageous charge.
And yet whiskey men and some pro-
hibitionists tell us that the saloon is
preferable to the blind tiger. The
above is the saloon with the mask torn
off. Give US prohibition every time.
Could blind tigers be more "dishonest'
or could they deceive the people"
more than this open eyed saloon
seraglio?

The railroads of the country are di-
recting something of their energy
toward the abolition of the tramps
from their trains. Special orders have
been issued that the trainmen keep a
sharp lookout and make it impossible
for the tramps to steal rides. This
will, doubtless, help to keep the "W cary
Willies" from wintering in the Sunny
South, and will have salutary effect
upon the tramp nuisance generally.

Show no Quarter to the Vagrant

The vagrant, now that cold weather
is coming on, must steal wood and
coal, in addition to something to eat.
The laws of the State are ample to
break up vagrancy, but the vagrant,
according to common report, continues
to flourish like a green bay tree. The
step from yagrancy to murder and
other revolving crime is very short
one. With white cotton fields and
beautiful weather there is no excuse
for idleness. A vagrant is a vagrant
from choice no matter what his color.
There is work for all hands that are
idle from choice. If vagrants will not
work for themselves, then they should
be made to work for municipalities

The sanity verdict that was pro
nounced on examination of the brain
of Czolgosz intensifies the puzzle of
the crime. The man was not an en-
thusiast,nor of a morbid temperament.
He was unknown through any zeal or
sympathy for the oppressed. He was
neither student nor dreamer. He was
physically healthy, but timid, and
shrank from notoriety. As far as
shown he had belonged to no band of
anarchists. lie was an unbeliever in
a hereafter-a rank infidel. Such
traits and characteristics linked with
such deed, make up problem for
the psychologists. If Czolgosz was
sane, wherein was the motive or the
prompting of the senseless crime

LET'S ALL GET TOGETHER.

The democratic party does not
need to be reOrganized. and especially
in the sense of confessing past errors
and promising radical changes In
policies The party was right in
1896 in all the great principles enun-
ciated in the Chicago platform and
none more 50 than its position on
the money question Conditions are
greatly changed since and what was
the proper policies six years ago
would not be now. what the condl-
tion4 will be- TWO years from now no
man can tell.
The democratic party is progress
sive and must keep up with changing
conditions OF a progressive people
II needs no reorganization and its
affairs will be- controlled and its pol
icies and pletiorns made by demo
Gratis who have always remained
loyal and true. That truth must be
kept prominently to he front
The party organization and man
ageInent will not be turned over to
anv sci of men who deserted the par
" in 1896 or in 1900. Those gentle
men are cordially invited back home.
They are needed and if they come
back in the proper spirit their sins
will be blotted out and remembered
against them no longer. This must
be done if the democratic party is to
be successful Discussions must
cease and harmonious, organized
body, fighting for fixed principles
must be put forward in opposition
to the republican party.
The question OF leadership is i'm
material and those politicians who
try to use the party to further their
own selfish ends should be relegated
to the rear The TINES wants to be
recorded right now against the pun
ishment of any democrat or set of
for any theories they may
advance Tor the party's betterment
or for any factional fealties. We are
going to need every vote to which
we are entitled. We must get togeth-
or, give and take. and the sooner we
get all differences settled within the
party the better, When the next
presidential campaign comes around
we should be prepared to fight the
enemy and not among ourselves
