STATE PROHIBITION.
An Address 10 the Stale Executive
Committee.

Committee.
To Mississippians: Only a
very small number of Mississippi
pi counties now license the dram
shop. In most of these, if not in
every one of them, a majority of
the grown white people, includ-
ing men and women, are opposed
to dram-shops, and would prefer
that their county should be rid
of them. The women cannot vote,
but surely on an issue like this
their wishes should be respected.
The dram-shop is a nuisance. 1t
is an evil only. Shall we con-
tinue to license it in Mississippi
That is the question!
In the present movement there
are three battles to be fought:
First. We want a Legislature
elected that will submit to the
people prohibition amendment
to the Constitution.
Second. We want the people
to adopt that amendment by pop
ular vote.
Third. We then want the i'm
mediate passage of law in &C
cordance with the amendment.
The first battle is now on. All
prohibition counties should see to
it that their next legislators are
in sympathy with this movement.
We are informed that in some
prohibition counties all the can
didates for the legislature yet an
nounced are anti -prohibltionists.
This ought to be remedied. Let
us have legislators whose hearts
are with US. Surely every man
who aspires to the legislature
ought to be willing for the peo-
pie of the whole State to vote on
this question. The fact that the
Liquor Dealers Association is
flooding the State with anti-pro-
hibition literature is positive
proof that they see that State
prohibition would greatly reduce
their business in Mississippi.
Let no one be deceived by their
arguments.
Let prohibitionists organize in
every county. Let Executive
Committees be appointed and
their names sent to the Secretary
of the State Committee at jack
son. This is the cause of law,
order and righteousness. 1t is
the cause Of childhood, woman
hood and manhood. Let Missis-
sippi be one State whose soil shall
not be polluted by single
licensed dram-shop.

WHAT MAKES A NAN.

Not numerous years, nor heightened life
Nor pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe, cigars, not bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine;
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
A dandy vest or trim cravat.
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store,
Nor master, reverend, sir nor squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went from Normandy to kill;
Nor Latin, Greek nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled over,
Nor judges robe, nor mayors mace.
Nor crown that deck the royal race,
These. all united, never can,
Avail to make single man.
A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind;
A helper of the human race,
A soul of beatty and of grace,
A spirit firm, erect and free,
That never baSely bends the knee;
That will not bear feathers weight
OF Slavery'S chain for small or great
That firmly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the letters deSrotS make,
And loves the truth for his own sake;
That worshipS God, and Him alone;
That trembleS at no tyrant'S nod
A soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile in curse and ban
That is the soul that makes the man.

Articles, similar to the one On

If people haven't sense enough,
or reverence enough, or charity
enough, or religion enough to
show them the proper thing to do,
Or the esteem they should hold,
theregard they should feel or the
sanctity they should cherish,
there is no rule, or set of rules,
that can develop them and make
their characters worthy of en-
ulation. Gentlemen and ladies',
like poets, are born and not made.
1t is the lack of mental grasp
or soul power to reach the highest

people small and commonplace;
and they can't help it.

REPORT OF COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER.
The following communication was
received from DR.. J. T. Butler, county
health officer, to-wit:
BRooKHAvEN, Miss, May 1, 1908.
To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Alder
men of the City of Brookhaven, Miss:
1 have inspected by request the
premises on the property occupied by
Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Laura Mckee and
DR.. V. B. Watts, and find that the
waste water and Stops from the
kitchens runs out under these kitchens
and into the back yards, overlooking
the premises of those on the north on
to those south or below them, causing
very disagreable odor, and unless
the plumbing and sewerage is imme-
diately repaired it will cause sickness
in the families in immediate proximity
thereto. 1t is my opinion that the con-
dition above described constitutes a
nuisance and should be abated.

Act of the Legislature containing sub
stantially the same provisions as the
act of the Legislature of 189-, creating

PRINCIPLES AND MEN.

The old party shackles and pol
itical scales have been slowly
loosening foryears. The greatest
power is the power that works
unseen. That power, through
long years of struggle and cor
ruption and demagoguery is de-
monstrating itself today and will
be more clearly defined in years
yet to come. We have predicted
that men of principle, of high
courage and honor would come to
the front eventually for the hon.
age of the people in the highest
gifts of the State and country.
Today our political eye is fixed
upon Mississippi; and never be
fore have we had better oppor-
tunity to set on indisputable
ground those principles that make
for the advancement of our people,
than we have today. In two of
our prominent candidates, for
Governor and for State Senator,
we have those principles embodied
as truly and as purely as patri-
otism in the life of any hero of
past or present history, and to ig-
more them in the face of doubtful
issues and policies as proposed
by some othercandidates is like
Peter denying his Lord. No pat
riot nor christian gentleman need
hesitate one moment in casting his
votefor Longino or Noel. Theyare
thekind of men thrat are now in de-
mand-"tall men, sun-crowned."
If you vote for your countryls
highest good you will vote for
Noel and Longino.
