IT WON'T WIN.

They have a funny way of doing
business over in Texas. The pro-
hibitonists want 30 prohibit the
sale of intoxicating liquors because
the use of it is not only degrading,
but because it kills men and democrat
ICES the country. Then they hold an
election and if beaten they get out
their guns and shoot men down in the
streets. This kills, but perhaps it is
not considered demoralizing.
A few days ago the prohibitionists
won in an election in Waller county,
but the ants secured an injunction.
Then the prohibitionists declared the
injunction illegal, and gave the
ants short time to close up bust
ness, which if not complied with
force would be used Then the state
had to call out the militia to stop
what threatened to be a serious riot.
Thus persuasion has been laid aside
and hereafter force will be used to
make men eat, drink and wear what
ever may suit the ideas of some men.
This Texas county has set a precedent
that cannot be very we'll followed, at
least safely. Men can be reasoned
with and persuaded, but not driven.
If a man can be forced to be tenn
perate, forced not to touch q drop
l,ofo sn%n hot
his cravings for it may be, then he
can be forced to other things-forced
to join the church and become a
Christian, forced to love his neighbor
as himself and forced to give nine
tenth of all he has to those who may
assume the roll of masters.
But man cannot be forced to any
thing that is unreasonable, that is
unjust, that is un-American, that
was ont inculcated in the teaching OF
civilization. for it is opposite to the
sentiment of the majority and the
majritoy rules. The government and
everything that is governed is in ac-
cord with the ideas and consent of
the majority of the people, otherwise
we could have no government. In
the dark ages men fought and tried
to focre religious ideas and beliefs in
each others heads, but that time is
past and we will have no more such
wars. Men must be persuaded and
reasoned with and taught, and any
other way is anrachy and will not
win in this enlightened age.

the negroes, burned their houses and
caused other negroes to take to the
woods But not being entirely salts
fed the whites notified the negroes
that they must leave and the leaving
should be put into action within
three weeks, after which time those
refusing to move would be planted in
the ground. In consequence the ne
groes are not hesitating on the word
go, nor are they asking for an extern
sion of time, but are calling the dogs,
shutting the gates and shaking the
dust of those two counties from their
feet.
This will be the closing of the war,
but it will be little hard on those
merchants who have been furnishing
some of the negroes with SUPPLIES with
which to make their crops. To
them this will evidently be total
loss and they are murmuring low
protest-a very low one, for it is I'M
derstood that those who have ordered
the negroes to move on don't want
any sympathizers for the negroes in
any form. Hereafter doubtless these
merchants will add clause to their
contracts to the effect that the crops
must so far advanced that payment
can be had when the curfew bell rings

So far as that particular section is
concerned the negro problem is abOu
to be solved. But if every communi-
ty should adopt the same tactics
where would the negro find yard
of land ON which to plant his No.
~ foot? The move-on command
would meet his ears wherever he
went. He is not wanted i'll the west
and will not be tolerated in that sec
ton. He cannot live in the north,
for the northern people know nothing
about his nature and disposition, hi:
long and short cOmings, his ideas OF
thriftiness, of morality and citizen
ship, and hence they could not use
him in any respect. Then he must
remain in the south where the people
know him and can get the best results
out of his labor He can find plenty
of places where he can live without
being molested-even in Smith ant
Scott counties-if he will go to wOrl
and behave himself and try to make
a good citizen. Otherwise he is not
wanted anywhere else and he cannot
live anywhere else, nor can the dis
reputable, mean white man.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

The negroes living on the border
line between Smith and Scott coun-
ties have suddenly taken the notion to
move out of that section to some
other that is more cougenial to their
nature and disposition. This sudden
conclusion was arrived at the other
day when they were notified that
their presence was very offensive to
some of the whites of the county and
that they would be given three weeks
to pack their bags and baggage and
leave.
This is the result of race riot
that has been going on in that section
for the past three weeks and precipi-
tated by the assassination of white
man and the attempt of the assassina-
tion of another. Some of the white
men banded together and making a
raid on the settlement killed four of

The Progress is not quite ready to
believe everything it hears. But due
thought is given to some things it
hears, especially if the report is often
repeated. 1t has been going the
rounds of the press for the past
month that Governor Longino is gain
ing in strength every day and his
chances now are favorable for his
election. We are not prepared to say
that there is no truth in the report.
On the other hand one would natur-
ally believe from close observation
that he is really gaining in strength
and that if he does not get the per-
simmon his pole will be but very
little too short. The Progress never
did love the governor, but it sees nc
reason to misrepresent what appears
to be facts to the effect that the
gentleman is going TO make good
run and that it will not be what is
commonly termed an easy walk-ove1
for Senator Money. This was not the
conclusion drawn at first, but mel
and political sentiment change and
the change made for the past two
months is to Longino's favor.

HOW CRIMINALS MAKE BOND

The Hattiesburg Progress wonders
at the ease with which criminals
make bond nowadays and secure
their release, often after committing
most serious offenses. In the course
of remarks upon the subject the Pro-
gress notes that in many cases
strangers are caught In criminal acts
and upon arrest and committal, men
of the town who apparently know
nothing of the stranger, present
themselves as bondsmen.
These are facts, and can be ac-
counted for in but one way-the uni
versal membership of fraternal or
ders, which it is no dIsparagement
to say are so broad in their scope as
to take in many disreputable char
acters.
These organization do not indorse
the lives of crime of these question
able characters, but often where a
doubt exists the ties of fraternal
brotherhood are sufficiently strong

Now it is stated that Judge Crit2
has several men in his pay to do the
boosting of the state for him and one
man goes so far as to tell exactly
where he got the money. 1t is
usually the case when a candidate is
ahead the friends Of the hindmost
man will begin to accuse the leader III
the race Of doing unfair things. II
Judge Critz is using any money in this
campaign it is certainly his money
and he came by it honestly. But this
argument that he is using money in
the campaign is about the weakest
argument that we have stumbled upon
in long time. Why not say that he
stole a sheep and be done with it?

The editor who will dodge this way
and that trying to please every body
the delinquents as we'll as those who
pay for the paper, is not fit to edit a
peanut parcher. He must take a
stand, the right stand according to
his own conscience, and let the world
know that he has taken it and expects
to stand to it. He may get wrong
occasionally, but the people will over
look that and applaud him for doing
what he conscientiously believes was
right. But if he tries to please this
man here and that man there he is
wrong all the time and the people
will condemn him because of his
utter weakness. Dare boldly to do
right, and whether right or wrong,
the boquets will come your way.

to enlist the substantial sympathy of
the local brotherhood. A number of
such cases have been known.
This cannot be construed as criti-
cism of the orders. nor of the
brotherhood of such orders, because,
to say the least of it. commendable
trait is shown in the practice, but
there are grounds for the suggestion
that the traternities use more care in
admitting members who are to be
armed with credentials enabling
them to impose upon branches of the
order and communities wherever
they may go.
1t is admitted that it is hard
matter to keep all the rascals out,
but If proper care is used their initia-
ton IN these social precincts can be

should begin to let his light shine

let the people know his name, and
especially should he give to the public
list of promises he expects to fulfill

or not he believes the constitution of
the United States is a copy of the old
English laws and whether or not it
should be repealed. He should give
his ideas on the dead issue of free sill
yer and state why the funeral was not
more largely attended, and he is ex-
pected to tell who blew up the Maine

ship should have nothing to do with
the black balls when they are found
necessary. A mans conduct and

the community in which he long re-
sides. If such are good at home 1t is
very seldom that they change when
they go abroad.

CeiliA Oi Si OSS fi'ibtOtttlN iit III attempt tu discrediL the Colburn report of the speaking. and mud dv the waters so as to relieve Gov Davis of the just condem- nation which he ought to receive i for such vile and slanderous ut terances.
 But before eHlarging further upon the subject we feel that 1t would, perhaps. be better to give the exact language used by ] Editor C0lburn and that used by l Judge Evans. as to what they understood the Gov. to have said, and then compare and analyze the statements and see wherein the difference lies, it in deed there is a difference in reali ty, rather than apparent.
 Editor Colburn reports the Gov. as follows:
 I am not fit to belong to the church. and no man Is fit There IS not a married man true to his wife; am not and no other man iS-all onr wives could get di- vorces on that ground"
 Judge Evans. who was Chair man of the meeting, gives his version of the Governors lan- guage as follows:
 "But, my fellow citizens. l am not fit to be a member of any Ichurch. No man is fit to belong to church The women are fit. but the men are not. If our wives knew W hat We are doing they would sue us for divorces !"
 Now, if this astute Judge had said this much and stopped there would have been no room or ne cesSity for comment. as every in telligent reader would readily have agreed that there was no material conflict between the two reports. But this he does not do. With a stupidity that he'd ges upon puerilitv, he With a great hurrah and flourish of brazen effronterv, emits the fol- lowing sweet seen ed and fshy utterance:
 eThatis what Gov. Davis said and all he said on the subject. If Gov Davis had said at Ozark what is attributed to him 1 would not vote for him in the primary nor in the general cleo tion If he should receive the nom ination. ButI know he did not. If this hurts or helps 1t is the truth and I am willing to abide by 1t forever 1 am very truly yours,
 H Evans. "
 If the Hon H Evans was a lavman, then there might be some excuse offered for such d heroic utterance as the above; but since he wears the ernine and the presumption is that he knows the law, he is amenable to enligh tened public sentiment for the ridpulous and unscem- ingly pligGt in which he has vol untarilv placed himself. The gist ot the Colburn charge is that Davis admitted himself to be a libertine and that he charg- ed all other men of being like wise untrue to the marital vow. Evans says that the Governor said, "lf our wives knew what we are doing they would sue us for divorces, He did not say some few of us, any portion of us, or even a majority of us, but he used the term to embrace all. As the statutes lav down sever- al causes for the dissolution of the marriage relation, it might be claimed by those unlearned in the law that the Governor made no specific allegation, and thus his remarks could not be con6n- ed to the single cause as appar- ently selected out by Editor Col burn; but since Judge Evans knows the law Chat being one of the constitutional qualified tons of a Circuit Irdge) he is de nied the privilege of dodging be

These Caval- rymen were notedly the greatest riders of the immortal regiment, and the exhibition of expert horse manship they give in connection with the performance at these great shows will prove most inter- esting, in addition to giving the people of this city and surround ing country to see at close hand some of the heroes who dld so much to add to their counlry's s glory in the cause of liberty.

-BORDEAUX' DRUG STORE.-

there can be nc doubt of what the Governor intended by his language. unless we adopt the theory that he is crazy and did n't know what he was talking about.
 As Governor Davis has been rushing, pell-mell. over the state trvingto find someone who could tell him, "If there a difference be. between tweedle dunn and tweedle dee," he ought now to be perfectly satisfied with Judge Evans-the man who says, 'If Gov. Davis had said at Ozark what is attributed to him l would not vote for him in the primary nor in the general cleo tion If he should receive the nom- ination, and, then in the same connection, in the same article. admits that Davis did say just what was attributed to him.
 We have all heard of the whangdoodle, and many of us were under the impression that it was lusus naturae, perhaps, cross between a black-snake and a yoke of steers, but now the proof seems ample thatitis a Circuit Judge who can really tell the difference between "tweedle, tweedle dunn and tweedle, twee- dle. dee" and who is willing to abide by 1t forever"

THE GOVERNOR AND THE RAIL
 ROADS.

Governor Davis spoke at the opera house Tuesday night by in vitation of his friends here. He had a good audience and his speech was ot the characteristic Davis . kind. He had considerable to say of the legislature but did not men ton the names of any of the mem bers from Washington county. He charged that the Washington Go Bank at Fayetteville was circulat
 in5 literature in this county for the purpose of injuring him, and that Mi B. K. Davidson. one of the stockholders. was back of it, be- -etttise tfe tfe Itestda testda helped hfe@ ped raise the val uation of the property of the Fris- co railroad, of which corporation Maj Davidson is attorney. "--Rog- CTS Democrat.
 "The Governors enmity to rail- road attorneys is altogether assum- ed. During the last campaign he abused Dodge X Johnson-the noted Missouri Pacific attorneys from nearly every stump in the State. yet these gentlemen were among his most active supporters at the very time he was heaping abuse upon them. When the leg islature ordered an investigation of his conduct it was to the railroad lobby he flew for advice and as sistance, instead of his family. as he falsel y asserts in his speeches and the lobby threw itself into the breech with vigor that came near checking the investigation at the very outset. It is also welknowu that when he made the proposition to increase the assestment of the railroad property of the State he d so IS d bluff. He expected his proposition to be opposed by Mon roe and Crockett, the other mem bers of the board. When the lat ter gentlemen called his bluff by withdrawing their own proposi. ton and accepting the one he had offered. the Governor came near sainting. ."-Ft. Smith Elevator.
 The above from paper edited by man who has been a mem Der of the legislature for quite a number of years, and one who has been in a position to know whereof he speaks, Is certainly well calculated to arouse the credulity of the masses. and put the people upon inquiry to say the least If the Gov. IS really standing shoulder to shoulder with the gigantic corporations, when he is constantly posing as their uncea>ing and irresistible foe. 1t ought to be ascertained Mir Weaver is a responsible man and edits a paper which IS hnan- ciallv strong, and he does not, at all, mince matters, but Is quite positive in his statements.
