Our dear comrade, our beloved Ad-

RESULT OF MONOPOLY.

Complaints continue to be heard
against the quality of oil distribu-
ted here by the Standard Oil Co.
1t makes dim, feeble light that is
difficult to read by and very unsat-
isfactory in other respects. Halle
hurst Courier.
The same complaints are being
justly made here. The oil the peo-
pie are forced to buy at an extor-
tionate price, is of poor quality, and
sometimes utterly unfit for lighting
purposes. We are informed that
this Corporation refuses to sell the
best quality of fre-proof oil in this
market. This Octopus declares or
realizes a dividend of one hundred
per cent or more, and having a COM
plete monopoly of the sale of oil,
here and elsewhere, is increasing
this extortionate profit by putting
inferior stuff upon the market.
We do not know whether it is
possible for our merchants to OBJ
tain coal oil from any other source,
but if it can be done they owe it to
their customers to do so, even if
the cost is greater. We suggest
this as a simple business PROPOSE
ton. The trade of WoodvilIe does
not amount to anything to the
Standard Oil Company, but good
lights amount to something to its
people.

The Lauderdale grand jury has
indicted the editor of the Meridian
Star for libel. The libel consisted
in reciting the fact that the judge
had rebuked the grand jury for
failure to comply with his charge
against bucket shops. Thereupon
the county inquisitors, who had re-
ported that they were ready to make
final report, retired and indicted
the bucket shops, also the news
paper that told tales out of court.
AS this sensitive grand jury has

Poor Warren, friendless and alone

comment upon an editorial in the
Lexington Adverser;
"This is what they all say about
us, and the worst of it is no one
can iepel the shameful charge. 1t
conveys to all citizens of common
honesty and county pride, the state
ment of the debt they owe the fac

county politically in recent years.

The Penitentiary Investigating
committee, in compliance with a
joint resolution passed by the leg
islature, is probing into the conduct
of the Board of Control, and War
den Parchman. The first witness
examined was Hon. Kincannon, a
member of the Board, whose testi-
mony shows that Warden Parch-
mans relatives have been bene6c-
iaries from the work of convicts,
with 10 reports of same to the state.
Other irregularities are cited. The
matter will doubtless be probed to
the bottom and we trust criminal
proceedings will be instituted if oc-

"A full state treasury, attribute
bic to uncommon conditions, seems
to have perverted the minds and
reason of, the legislators in the mat
ter of appropriations. They have
changed from a penurious body to
spendthrifts. We trust they will
not be so far led astray by the false

The latest details of the work of
the Kemper county mob, are even
more horrible than at first reported.
six persons were wounded, two of
whom will die. No arrests have
been made, so far as we have seen,
but should the officers of that coun-
ty permit these bloodthirsty MUIR
derers to go unpublished, they would
bring disgrace upon the county and
its people. All crimes in the his
tory Of the state pale in the face of
this, aud in behalf of the people of
the entire state, we trust these cul-
prits will be captured and justice
given them.

IN MEMORIAN.

The undersigned committee appoin-
ted by Woodyille Camp No. 40, to-
prepare suitable memorial on the
death Of our late Comrade NJ. JACoBy
and to cause the same to be published
and to send copy thereof to the
widow of our deceased Comrade, subs
nit the following:
COmrade MAX JACoBY was a mem
Der of Company A, list Texas Regi-
ment, and lost leg at Gains Mill, Va.
After he was thus disabled he persis-
ted, with rare patriotism and deter
mination in serving the Confederacy.
The following certificate from the
gallant Hood, his old Commander, is
in itself a splendid testimonial to his
record as a soldier of the Lost Cause,
and we cannot add one word of eulogy
to it:
New Orleans, October 25, 1868.
To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is to inform all whom it may
concern, that Mr.. M. Jacoby was Il
member OF the LIST Texas Regiment.
He made a good and faithful soldier,
and at the battle OF Gains Mill, June
9th, 1862, he had the misfortune to
lose his right leg. After this he con-
| tinued TO serve his country and by so
doing showed spirit far superior to
many many Of our worthless young
men who remained at home, and by so
doing lost the cause for which Mr.
JacOby struggled most earnestly.
Respectfully,
j. B. HOOD, Late G. S. a.
Comrade Jacohy cast his lot among
us near the close Of the Civil war, and
bis life has been an open book to the
people Of Wilkinson County since
then; and all can bear witness that no
stain ever rested upon it, In the dark
days OF reconstruction he was as true
as steel 10 the cause of democracy and
white supremacy, and never wavered
to the day Of his death. He was true
man, and a true comrade. Peace to
his soul.

SCHNUR FAMILY RELEASED
Jewish Parents Accused of Wandering
Son Freed by Proof of Mans
Existence.

NEW YORK. April 1s.-Dr. NJ Neustad-
der OF this city today received q cablegram
from Vienna giving notice Of the release
from prison OF the Schnur family, ten mem
bers OF which have been confined near there
for some time on the charge OF having MUIR
dered Schulim schnur.
The story OF the charge, as told by the
doctor. is that the young man supposed to
have been murdered. was about to become
Christian convert, and to marry a Chris
tian girl. Notwithstanding that he came
from a well known Jewish family of DOM
brow. Galicla.
His parents, to avoid the consequences
OF his proposed change OF faith, sent him
to a brother IN this country and after his
disappearance we're accused by the Chris
tian peasants OF the neighborhood with
having murdered him. They were arrested
and taken in chains to the nearest Jail
News OF this reached the brother here
and a committee of twelve was selected to
arrange to send the young man back in
order to prove that he had not been muir
dsred.
The committee. OF which the doctor was
chairman, raised enough money to carry
out its purpose and announces that young
schnur has already left this country in
the care OF an American.

TO VOTE ON EXCLUSION BILL
Senate VIII Reach Final Action on
Measure 90 Bar Chinese
wednesday,.

WASHINGTON, April i3.-ln accordance
with the agreement reached on Friday last,
the senate on Wednesday will vote on the
Chinese exclusion bill and the present un-
destanding is that the Philippine govern
ment bill will be taken up Immediately aft
erward.
II is probable, however that the Philip
pine bill will be soon broken in on by the
calling up Of the river and harbor bill be-
ing an appropriation bill. which is a privi-
legged measure and can be taken up at any
time, but 1t is not the desire Of the com
mittee to have 1t considered until there
shalt have been a chance afforded to make
further amendments in the committee. That
opportunity will not be provided until
Thursday, following the vote on the Chinese
bill
The opponents OF the Chinese bill will
press their fight from this time forward and
II they find that they cannot secure it's re-
committal, they will concentrate their ef-
forts on proposed amendments. Especial
effort will be made to secure the adoption
Of the Platt substitute.
There will be a number OF short speeches
on the bill Monday and Tuesday, and in
addition to these, Senators Foraker and
McLaurn OF South Carolina have given
notice OF set speeches for Monday. A por-
tion Of the day Saturday will be devoted
to euloges on the late Senator Kyle Of

retard the advance OF the soldiers coming

lead to irreparable damage.

police to be insufficient to guarantee order.
This is proved. they say by the fact that
