not more than four games separating US

The election last Tuesday to fill the
vacancy in the Board of Supervisors
was very, very close, The managers in
counting the votes On the tally sheet
gave Mr.. Geo. G Pagan one majority,
there being 200 votes according to their
count. But there were only POS ballots
on the string and the election was de-
clared to be tie. If that had held
good, under the law the commissioners
would have had to decide the election
by drawing the lucky man g name from
hat. But the commissioners, in cam
Vasslng the vote, found a number of
illegal tickets, some marked with
pencil instead of a pen, some with
names rubbed out and others with two
crosses this making a Distinguishing
marx on the ticket, and they decided
to throw them out. When this was
done the result was in favor Mr.. Pagan
by three votes. The following notice

Crumpacker Bill Revived.

The Grumpacker bill is up again be
fore Congress, and the Republicans, led
| by Speaker Henderson, seem to be de-
termined to get vote on it, and the
Democrats are planning to defer action
by resorting to all kinds of obstructive
parliamentary tactics. We remember
on one occasion Mississippis great
Senator, George, asked a New England
Senator if he didn't represent many
residents Of his state who were debarred.
by one reason and another, from the
privilege of voting. OF course, he had
to admit that he did; but if those same
people in Massachusetts and several
other states, who cannot exercise the
rights of citizen, were residents of
Mississippi, they would not be debdrred
fer the same reason that kept them
from being citizens in Massachusetts,
Many people voluntarily disfranchise
themselves. See, for instance, the
delinquent list published in this paper,
There is no discrimination there. White
and black alike are debarred from the
of voting simply because they
have not complied with what the state
requires to make a man a qualified
voter.
The Southern States have certainly
rot the talent in Congress to meet the
jrumpacker gang. and upset all their
harges about riding roughshod over

This partisan action must be met with
