Now it is proposed that when the
Mobile jackson and Kansas city rail-
road is completed to this city, which
will be about the first of October, a
grand excursion be given from Jack
son to Mobile. Many years ago the
people in the adjoining counties
north and east of Jackson went to
Mobile to sell their cotton and do
their trading in wagons and the fell
low who could make the most fuss
with his whip was considered the
leader of the train of wagons. 1t
took from fifteen to twenty-five days
to make the trip, but on the first of
next October the trip can he made
by the children of these whip-pOp-
pers in day. Wonderful how
things have changed and men with
them. Still once in q while one will
run up against some one who does
not, or pretends that he does not, adj
vocate railroads. But all men are
not constituted alike or this would
be lonesome old world.

William Jelks was nominated
Monday for governor of Alabama
over Joseph F. Johnston, the former
governor of Alabama. jerks was an
ardent supporter of the amendment
of the constitution while his oppo-
nent opposed it. 1t is the same
amendment adopted by Mississippi
several years ago, this state being
the first to adopt it, to eliminate the
negro voter or others who could not
read the constitution or understand
it after it was read to them. Fol
this reason we are glad Johnston was
defeated. This is white mans
country and the white man should
domineer. However, the negro has
the same chance that the white mar
has, but if he does not improve the
opportunity it's his fault and not the
white mans.

FIRST TEST NOEL PRIMARY ELECTION
LAW

The first test of the Noel primary
election law is, to say the least, dis
appointing. We thought that only
white democrats could participate in
a democratic primary, but in the
election Just held in this district, we
understand that at many boxes in
different counties, republicans and
populites voted, and at Ora and OkO-
hay in CovingtOn county and also at
Laurel in Jones county, negroes also
voted. Certain it is that men who
voted for Mckinley at the last presi-
Dental election voted in this county.
1t is said that the managers aP-
pointed to hold the election permitted
this fragrant violation of the law,
doubtless under the misrepresentation
that it was not their duty to chal-
lenge, but only to decide challenges
when made. But 1t was their plain
duty to challenge every man whom
! they had a reason to suspect was
disqualified under the 9th section of
the law, and under the resolution of
| the district executive committee re-
stricting the right to vote "to white
democrats.
1t Is also currently reported that a
free use of whiskey by the friends of
the successful candidate was made
in Covington, Lawrence and SImp-
son.
We understand upon good authority
that there is now a barrel OF bottled
whiskey in the depot at Seminary
shipped there for election purpos es
but unclaimed as yet.
If these reports be true. the whole
thing is a stupendous fraud, and
worse than a roaring farce; and the
district executive committee ought to
make a most rigid investigation OF
the matter, ana If found to be true
set the election aside and order
another-Or, at least, throw out the
boxes where these Irregularities and
disgraceful frauds and practices oc-
CURED.
If 1t is not done it will surely break
up the democratic party in this dis.
trict. The unity, harmony and in
tegrity to the party should count fol
more than the success of any man.
Mr.. Bowers would raise himself ir
the estimation of all the people of the
district if he should demand II rigid
investigation by the committee. /
be does not do it he can hardly hope
to get many votes at the Novembe
election.
