the author OF the bill, after which we
will be glad to hear from any of the
voters If they do not understand 1t.
In order that they may receive further
enlightenment. We are sure that such
a plan Is a good one, as it is a matter
of very special pride to us that our
columns are read by those who are
really "The People"-those who make
and keep the homes that are the
strength and sweetness of the State
! we all love.
{! Last week this department referred
to the investigation Of the fraudulent
interlineation of certain Senate bill,
passed at the last session, but we re-
Trained from mentioning any names,
because we were unwilling to add SO
(, much as feathers weight to any &C
cusation against the honor of a good
citizen unless he were proven guilty.
Since that time the matter has gone
abroad in the land and has been given
the widest publicity, hence it is no in
justice now for us to mention the name
of Mr.. George w. Carlisle, particularly
as we mention it for the sole purpose
of appending the following expression
of confidence passed almost unani-
mously in the Senate on the day of adj
journment:
Whereas, The report of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the in
terlineation of S. B. 1875 has made a
report of it's findings of facts in said
investigation, but made no charge
against any one, and
Whereas, 1t appears that the i'm
preston has been created outside of the
Senate that the present treasurer, G..
w. Carlisle, is guilty of said charges;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Senate that we dis
claim any such purpose or intent by
said report and that we affirm our con-
fidence in the integrity of the said
George w. Carlisle and his innocence"
Mr.. Carlisle's friends throughout his
native State rejoice that the Senate
gave this manifestation of confidence
in open session that all the world
might hear.
From the censuus reports we learn
that Old Miss has climbed up the pine
tree until she has passed all COM
petitors in the rosin business except
four-Georgia, Florida, North Carolina
and Alabama. This is remarkable, in
deed, when we recall the youth of the
industry and the meager encourage
ment it met with from us for so long a
time. The census report gives the fol-
lowing statement as to the value OF
the establishments in the State and
acknowledges that its agents were I'M
able to reach and report quite num-
Der of plants:

The Sentinel says there is splendid
opening IN Yazoo City for mattress
factory, as there is none in the State
Yazoo City is not Ine only place where
such an enterprise could, should and
1--WE believe), would prove successful
Our fields furnish the cotton that fills
most of the Northern-made mattresses
and covers all OF them, and from oul
woods are gathered the thousands OF
bales of gray moss that frequently
come back to us as "curled hair" mat
tresses, and the same railroads anC
water courses that bring the mattresses
back to us from Yankee factories coulC
carry our home-raiSed and homemade
mattresses to the markets of the world
in sufficient numbers to rest the weary
bones of all the people in the land
What we need is to get up land stay
up) and HUSTLE!
