MAYOR OF SHILOH.

Two Young colored boys, John and
Joe Hill, sons of Charley Hill, the shoe
maker, who live out near Bellaggio,
got in fuss on Wednesday while in
the field which resulted in Joe being
slightly wounded by his brother.
When John raised his gun to fire Joe
Jumped behind Caleb Stewart and Joe
made quite scuflle to stay behind
him, but John got in a shot from his
gun. which was loaded with small
squirrel shot A few of the shot struck
Caleb in the left hand and Joe in the
right hand, near the elbow and in the
calf of the right leg. They were only
slight flesh wounds. From what we
can learn John is of very imposing
nature aud has treated his brother
very bad. threatening that morning to
club him with club that he carried
to the field. After the shooting Joe
took to the woods. but returned during
the night and is now at his homo. The
Hills are hard working coiored people
and attend to their own business.
Perhaps this fracus will cause the
brothers to be more careful.

The Boliver county (Miss.) Demo
crat in an editorial on Judge Z. 5.
Taylor and the Mississippi River Com
mission says IAN earnest protest has
gone up from every part of the Missis-
sippi Valley against the removal OF
Judge Taylor as member Of the Mis-
sissippi River Commission. Not to re-
tain him would be in the nature OF an
irreparable loss. He has for years
made special study of the river and
all its difficult problems. By exhaus-
tive work he has mastered the subject
so thoroughly that we doubt if there is
any engineer in the country who is
better equipped for the important du-
ties incident to a mem bership on this
Commission. So far as the civilians
are concerned, we are satisfied that
none of them approach Judge Taylor
in this regard. We trust that the at
tempt to remove him will be aband-
oned. or if not, that the President will
turn it down regardless of the political
influence behind it. In matter of so
great importance mere political favor
itism should haYe little weight. We
hope and believe that Judge Taylor will
succeed himself"

ADVICE TO DEMOCRATS.

The General Assembly of Ala
bama. now in session, invited Hon.
David b. Hill, of New York, to adj
dress them on the great questions OF
the day, but not being able to accept
the invitation, sent the General AS
sembly letter in which he gives
several reasons why the Democratic
party should close up its ranks. stop
all chickering's and pull together. d.
B. Hill. is a great man and has done
much for the Democratic party, and
many claim that if 1t had been him
instead of Bryan, that he would have
swept the country.
His advice to the Democrats is as
follows:
"The reference to political matters
contained in the resolution leads me
to say that the Democratic party, as
the great conservative force of the
country, is more than ever essential
to the well-being and safety OF the
republic. The nation is confronted
at home by the mallgn influences OF
corruption and plutocracy, and it is
threatened abroad by the machina-
tons of the enemy of constitutional
government and popular liberty.
lit becomes our party, as patriots
and Democrats, to strengthen our
party organization, to unite all ele-
ments of opposition to radicalism, to
organize for future contests upon
right lines, so as to make national
victories again possible, to avoid re-
ordinations and to subordinate all
selfish and personal considerations in
the exhibition of widespread
national and party patriotism.
s'We should stand as solid pha-
lanx in favor of strict construction
of the Federal Constitution for the
preservation of the reserved rights OF
tile JtdtcS, luC
the constitutional currency OF ouI
fathers, tor system of public taxa
ton for public purposes only, fol
economy in all public expenditures
and for the supremacy of the Consti'
tuition with all it's guarantees over
every portion of our national Jurls-
diction, and we should resist by
every honorable means in our power
the Republican efforts to fasten upon
our country the evils OF militarlsm,
the wrongs involved in the diversion
of public money in the shape OF con-
gressional subsidies, the tendencies
toward Capitalization of power and
the substitution of imperialistic ideas
for the plain and simple theories OF
Democratic government. Upon al
those issues the Democratic party is
right, and sooner or later the right
will surely prevail.

When Telephone connection was
made on Wednesday, the first to use
the phone was Mayor Franklin, who
called up the mayors of New Orleans
and Vicksburg to extend congratula-
lions. The big town of Shiloh. In
Mississippi, which has about 600 600. 10
inhabitants, more or less. felt hurt and
sore at our mayor for sighting them in
sending his congratulatory message,
sent the following to him:
To the Mayor of Lake Providence, La:
We hear you are connected with
Mississippi by Telephone. Allow me
to welcome you in our midst. AS the
the big Mississippi has always kept us
apart, mans ingenuity has overcome
all this, and here we stand talking as
face to face. We would like to en-
brace our sister city, but for the above
reason we cannot. Therefore we will
extend our congratulations, hoping the
line will prove blessing to us all, is
the wish OF the

The Truth of History.

Nearly thirty-six years have elapsed
since the termination of the tremend-
Gus civil war. in which the South bat
tied heroieally and with undaunted
courage for the fundamental princi-
pies that underhe American Constitu-
tional liberty. Its termination was
stamped by desolation. ruin, want and
the destruction of the Souths organ
lied labor. This situation was inten-
sified by the oppression that emoit-
tered the reconstruction era. But
with the same courage, heroism, tena-
city of purpose that marked their
deeds of valor amid the throes OF That
gigantic struggle. the men Id gray
have built up the waste places To-
day. amid the pursuits of peace. the
South is growing rich, powerful ana
progressive. Their achievements In
agricultural, commercial and financial
channels have elected the wonder and
no less the admiration of the world
Yet despite such a splendid reco:d
of endurance aud progression under
the banner of peace, their record in the
war is certainly belittled, misrepre-
sented and falsihed by those against
whom they battled so fiercely during
four years of strife.
Events that never occurred are be-
ing dramatized aud published in the
North as actual occurrences, that have
no foundation in fact. A false sentl-
mentalism is being taught and some OF
the Union leaders surrounded with the
glamour OF fiction and The halo of a
heroism that is without any veritica-
| ton.
1t is about time that the Southern
press and every journal in the land
tina, loves truth, fair play and the facts
of history, should expose such perver-
sions and overturn the flimsey gauze
of fiction being thus thrown over the
form of falsehood.
Truth is mighty and will prevail;
crushed to earth il will rise again Ii
it is stranger than fiction, it is also
more powerful. If it Is prevented by
prejudice and animosity; if it is made
the tool of ambitious leaders; If it is
turned aside to engender hatred and
malice, not less win the troops of
error become the trophies of truth.
History may be thus assassinated by
these dangers of falsehood, but time
will mark its triumph, (which besides
it nothing but eternity hath triumphed
lover.'' Its records, in reference to the
occurrences of the civil war should be
taken up by the press and perversions
/ promptly exposed. and those de-
nounced who claim an undue share OF
the struggle of 1S6l-lS65, which has
stamped its pages with achievements
that electrified the world.
The living parucipators in that
mighty conflict, owe it to their de-
cendants. particularly in the South, to
make known and deny counterfits that
are reflection on those who followed
the Southern cross. that marked the
bivouac of The dead.-Shreveport Pro-
| Dress.

Congressman Mcclellan stated the
other day in Congress that the cost
of each United States soldier was
81, 1888; including pensions the cost
was s2,s2S each, per year. The
cost of the German soldier, includ-
ing pensions and expenses of past
wars, he said, was only 1927, and of
the French soldiers, also including
pensions and expense of the Franco
Prusian war, was 1892. Before the
end of the year, he said our militia
~ establishment would cost over
$500, 600, 900. This grand total
did not include any of the expense
of maintaining the navy.

Gen. Thomas g. Catchings, of
Mississippi, was presented with a
handsome and MASSIVE silver loving
cup in Washington last Saturday.
The cup was the gift of his friends
and admirers in the city of New
Orleans, and was presented by Gen.
Adolph Meyer. On one side of the
cup is the inscription: "New Or
leans to Hon. Thomas G. Catcbings
of Mississippi" and on the other
side, Gin grateful recognition of
services rendered in behalf of the
passes at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi." General Catchings was
presented not long ago with hand
some and costly fob chain by his
friends of Lake Providence, which
was fitting tribute in what he nas
accomplished in the way of levees
and the protection of this great
country from overflow. The great
State of Mississippi, which owes him
much, should not be the last in
showing her gratitude to her pop.
ular citizen.

Last week mention was made of
the purchase of the New Orleans
and Northwestern railroad by the
Gould system, and we notice in the
Times. Democrat of Monday last
that .'Major B: S. Wathen, chief
engineer Of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, after conference with
George Gould was ordered to push
surveys already outlined from New
Roads, near the mouth of the Red
river to Vidalia, La. Contracts fol
the construction for this branch OF
the Gould system will be let at once,
in order to have the work proceed
without hitch or delay. With the
completion of this road new shor,
line between New Orleans and st.
Louis will be established. The
route will be along the right oanS
of the river. 1t will embrace the
Texas and Pacific branch to Vidalia,
thence to the New Orleans and
Northwestern and houston and Cen
trail, Arkansas and Northern to Hele
ma, and from that point direct to
st. Louis over the Iron Mountain. g
By bnilding this road on up from
Vidalia it would still shorten the
distance between New Orleans and
st. Louis and would be almost a di-
rect line. Perhaps when they build
to vidalia, they will decide to con-
tlnue to push their road on to this
point.
