CURTAILING THE LIBERTY or
THE PRESS.


The negro guards around Roose-
velt's camp have no right to shoot a
man.
1t is all right for Mr.. Roosevelt TO
seek seclusion and a polite request,
impartially made, would have been
resecpted. But as long as the Asso-
ciatted Press representative and the
correspondent of the New York Sun
are allowed access to the camp, other
papers have cause to demand their
rights in the premises.
News reached the American this
evening that armed negroes are parad-
ing the roads and refuse to admit rep
resentatives of the independent press
under threats of violence. This act
of Mr.. Roosevelt and his party is I'M
warranted. 1t is a disgrace to the
American republic and a brutal dis
regard of the rights of the honest
newspapers of the country.
The jungles of the Mississippi
swamps in that vicinity belong to
private individuals who have made
no restrictions thereon and Mr.. Roose-
Welt is disobeying the laws of the free
state of Mississippi when he assumes
to prevent access thereto.
Any private citizen has the right to
shoot down an armed guard upon the
lea revocation, and the white peo-
pie of this section have cause to be in
digraut Wien a negro chief executive
invOkes the assistance of plantation
darkies in order to cater to certain
news agencies and filthy metropolitan
rags.
The white citizens of Mississippi
and the liberty-loving press and peo-
pie throughout the nation will SPUN
with cOntumely this last most shame
full and disgraceful dictum of presi-
Dental bastard.
His negroes ought to be eaten by
bears and the state should be scourged
from his distasteful presence-that'
all. -Vicksburg American.

GOODBYE. MIR. BRYAN.

Since the election Of two years ago

ton has been settled, and so has Mr.
Bryan. The passing Of the Nebraska
orator as a great party leader of a
great party, is accomplished. A glance

election NAL es this too plain to cavil
over.
With the silver states-Colorado,
Montana, Idaho and the rest gone
glimmering to republicanism, his own
state of Nebraska incl Teasing its repub-
lican majorities. and his arch enemy,
Hill, almost carrying New York.
there is nothing for Mr.. Bryan to do
but consider Himself dethroned,
ousted, dumped and deserted. Even
his old friend Iclloe is gasping for his
political life in a state which six
years ago gave the Bryan ticket a
plurality Of is, 000-a plurality five
times as great - the total republican
vote cast.
Mr.. Bryan may become the leader
of some sociaiStic new party founded
on the ruins Of the Kansas City plat
form, but a. the head and front of
democracy he is defUnct. His only
claim on glory ut present is as the
editor of a weekly paper and the pro-

( A CLEAN town adds to the com fort and convenience of every citizen. It is an advertisement for the place worth more than the cost of keeping it clean. It creates a favorable impression upon strangers. It attracts population and adds to the wealth of the place. A clean town pays the biggest kind of dividends be- cause it prevents disease and promotes business. The season is here when all back alleys should be cleared of rubbish and the dead leaves removed from front lawns, and the promises in general made tidy.

There is more Catarrah in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. Itis taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

LYING is of all mean traits of character the most despicable. This is the crying sin of the age that some men do not value their word. If a man steals and is caught the world brands him a thief and shuns him; he can never outlive it; but if he lies, though it may be proven, he is still respectable and if he profit by the lie he is esteemed especially clever and smart. But the thief is not near so dangerous to so- ciety as the liar. We can protect ourselves against thieves, we can gard our possessions, but the liar can penetrate the stronger for tress and blast the most precious of our possessions. He can go into court and rob or murder at will. He can blast a life or ruin a fortune, and there is no redress.

Now and then you hear some ignoramus trying to poke fun at the home paper on account of it's
 size, etc. The home paper is generally as big in proportion to the town as the metropolitan paper is to the city. But does the city paper say much if any thing in regard to your locality Does it contain notices of your schools, lodges, churches, public improvements and hundreds of other local matters of interest which your home paper pub fishes? Not an item. Does the city paper publish word calculated to draw trade to your town and your enterprise? And yet there are men who take con- tracted views in this matter; who think if they don't get as many square inches of reading matter in their home paper, they are not getting the worth of their money. It reminds one of the man who took the largest pair of boots in
 the box because the price was
 the same as the pair that fitted him. Take the city paper if you want one, but do not let it crowd
 the local paper out of your home.
