The Poll Tax DELINQUENT.

Judge Robert Powell, in his charge
to the grand jury at Jackson, last week,
paid his respects to the poll tax delin-
quent as follows: 1--WE have law for
regulating primary elections, and
charge you that any man who is not a
qualified voter, who votes at such pri-
mary, is liable to indictment. Under
present political conditions in Missis-
sippi, the primary is practically the
whole thing, and it is a shame that men
who will not contribute a dollar to the
support of the government-shou
have, as they frequently do, the naming
of the officers to administer the gov
ernment."

DR.. Hiram A. Revels Dead.

Rev. DIR. Hiram A. Revels, a noted
colored divine and educator, died very
suddenly at Aberdeen on the 10th inst.
while attending the A. NJ. L. annual
conference. He was secretary of State,
by appointment, in 1878; United States
senator from February. 1870, to March,
1871. He was the first president of, and
organized, Alcorn A. and M. College.
He and Blanche X. Bruce were the only
colored men ever seated in the United
States senate. Revels was one of the
best of his race.
The interest in the proposed Jackson,
Columbus & Northeastern railroad is
steadily increasing. Several largely
attended public meetings have been
held, and committees are securing
rights of way and donations of land.
The road is greatly needed, and wher
built will be one Of the bast patronized
in the State.

Christian Science.

DR.. j. M. Buckley, the editor of
the New York Christian Advocate,
contributes to the July number of
the North American Review an ar
ticle entitled 1.-THE Absurd Paradox
of Christian Science" in which be
subjects some Of the leading beliefs
of the cult founded by Mrs. Eddy to
searching examination. DR.. Buck
lev repudiates the claim that Mrs.
Eddy's book, Science and Health, !"
agrees with and interprets the Bible,
in great number Of passages. rec
ognizes the actual existence OF dis
ease of various sorts and the effica-
cy of medicines and other material
correctives in curing them. The
teachings Of Christ, DR.. Buckley
contends at length are absolutely at
variance with those Of the prophecies
If New Hampshire, and, so far from
her system being Christian, she can
harmonic her theory with Christi
anity only by reading into Chris
tianity the dreams Of her heated fan
cy. DR.. Buckly lays emphasis up
on the practical abSurditv in which
the application of the Christian Sci
ence principles Involves its yotaries,
and he finds a conclusive argument
against the Christian Science idea
that medicines cure only through
the patients belief in them in the
fact that the curative properties OF
many substances were discovered by
pure accident.

This property lies within about

that are now and probably will be
on sale for years to come at any
thing like reasonable price, and
from present indications. are sure
to Increase rapidly in value.
These lots are desirable to par
ties who may wish to erect a hotel,
Boarding house. Livery Stable, or

With this revolution in the judici-
ary executive heads, abolition OF
several Of the offices and having
the Legislature meet every four in
stead Of every two years, the say
ing to the State is placed at possibly
$250,000. This estimate may be
and probably is too large, but there
is every reason to believe that it will
exceed 100000 annually Not on
ly this, but it is proposed to at
tempt to reduce the expemces of

Of the convention is decidedly il
favor of doing away as far as pos
sible with the whole fee and COM

NEW ROAD FOR WAYCROSS.
MiIIen and Southwestern to Extend
to That Point.

Waycross, Ga, Dec. 2S.-There is a
bright prospect of Waycross getting
new railroad in the near future, and
our people are ready to extend it the
hand of welcome. The stockholders of
the Millen and Southwestern Railroad
Company at a recent meeting decided
by resolution to extend its line to Way
cross. 1t is said that this has been
under advisement by the projectors of
the scheme for some time past, and
now the decision has been made that the
line will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible to completion. The company has
heavy capital back of it, and no delay
will be occasioned for lack of funds.
The road as MAPPED out will traverse
one of the richest sections of the state.
1t is to be extended from Stillmore Ito
which point it is already in operation)
to Waycross, passing through The coun-
ties of Emanuel, Montgomery, Tattnall,
Appling, PIERCE and Ware, and will
cross the Seaboard Air Line at either
Vidalia or Lyons, and the Southern pre-
sumably about Baxley or Hazlehurst.
The distance of this extension is about
eighty miles, and it passes through
fine agricultural section.
1t has been decided by this company
to extend it's line from Millen, in Burke
county, to SylVania, or some point near
there, and thence to some point on the
Savannah river, a distance of about
thirty-five miles.

THEIR TROUBLES NOT OVER.
Argentines Dissatisfied with Proto-
col Signed by Minister.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Official ad-
vices received in diplomatic quarters
here indicate that the Chili-Argentina
controversy is again opened. According
to these advices the peace protocol,
referring the whole subject to arbi-
tratfon, was signed at Santiago three
days ago. But the action of the Ar
gentine minister in placing his sigma
ture to the document seems to have
caused resentment at Buenos Ayres,
both among the prominent officials and
the people. Accordingly, on yesterday
the Argentine minister informed the
Chilean foreign office that he was I'M
able to concur in all of the terms which
had been agreed upon heretofore and
signed.
The riotous demons trations which
have occurred in the streets of Buenos
Ayres are thought to have resulted
from the signing of this protocol, and
to have been expressive of popular dis
approval of the settlement with Chilli
The popular sentiment in Argentine
is very warlike and this leads to the
belief In well posted quarters that
President Roca will not succeed in any
policy which can contemplate an ad-
justment with Chilli.
