urging Governor Longino to call n
special legislative session and send a
message to the body asking the re-
peal of the valued policy clause of
the act of 1896.
1t is the purpose of the insurance
men to secure a session during the
month of August, if possible, and
the matter will be engineered rapid
ly to this end. The cotton brokers and
compress managers are co operat-
ing actively in the movement, and it
is expected that a numerously-sign-
ed petition will be presented.
! If a special session is secured it
will be the first time in the history
of Mississippi that such thing has
been accomplished. 1t is under
stood that some members are oppos-
ed to the movement, and will urgs
the governor not to convene the
body. Insurance Commissioner Cole
however, is favorable to the prcpos
ed step, and in his address at Biloxi
stated that the valued policy Law
shsuld be repealed. as it has cost tn,

Lilly White or White Republican
party has just showed us what q
hyrocrite he was when he was
stumping the third congressional
district just two months ago, and
preaching his false principle OF
snowy wilderness.
This same man Howell, has this
week removed from Office Mr.. Ear
hart, one of his deputies, a white
gentleman, esteemed. respected,
and fully competent and has ap-
pointed ia his place one OF the
blacklist ignorant negroes, Of the
old regime, and this is the action of
preacher of Lilly White party.
This appointment of the black
negro johnson by Mr. Howell, who
is to sit in his own Office, convin-
ces the white people of Louisiana,
that the whole set of politicians,
Lilly Whites and oehers are after
offices, and they will swallow any
kind or quality of black negro pro-
vided it helps them to remain in
power.
This action of Collector Howell
is the death blow of a decent, no
nest Republican party in Louisi-
| ana, as all the leaders of that par
ty in this state seem ready to affi-
late with the negro in order to &c.
cure Offices. aud this is what the
best element of this state object
to. They want a white party, but
they want it spotless, and not Of
the Howell kind.

\ HAPPY NEW YEAR.

This is the last issue of the Mes
senper during the year 1902, the
next issue will reach our subscrib-
ers on the Ord day of the year l9O3,
hence, we take occasion here 10
extend to one and all a happy aud
prosperous new year.
The past year has been gooo
one generally speaking, and our
neople are at this time enjoying
increasing prosperity. The CROPS
with the exception of rice, have
been satisfactory. and have COM
manded good prices, commerce
has been good, our merchants and
all other lines have done their
share of the business, and all seem
satisfied with the conditions sur
rounding st. Martinville and the
entire parish, all our laborers have
been employed during the entire
year at good living wages, and the
business was kept good adj the
year.
We can see no good reason why
the coming year will not be as
good and favorable as the past
one, we expect to see an improve
ment as our people have enjoyed
some prosperity, and they are all
determined to maintain that con-
dition if it depends upon labor and
good will, even the rice planters
who have gone through the disas.
ters of the past year are all hgur.
ing on making a new crop and are
hoping that providence will not be
adverse to their anticipations as
during the past season.
We hope for the best in every.
thing and we wish all full anc
abundant prosperity for the com
ing year.

THE LILLY WHITES.

The politicians who recently or
ganized a wing of the Republican
party under the misleading name
of Lilly Whites, and who have
been preaching for the organiza-
ton of a white Republican party
in Louisiana, are proving by their
actions, that their preachings to
our peoples for the organization
of a white mans party and the
elimination of the negro from po-
litics, were hypocritical and false.
They were not Office seekers but
were citizens interested in the well
fare of our state and our people,
but we can see these same preach.
sito the people Of their political
parity and untainted Wilderness,
getting into federal offices one by
one, aud now that they are enjoy
iug these fat paying offices. they
are beginning to fall under the
party lash and obeyipg orders as
they are received from hesdqusr-
tors regardless of what nature they
are.
