WANTS HIM TO QUIT.

The somewhat sea-sick Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot advises Mr.. Bryan to
60 out of the -Warwicking business,
as it is liable to tangle a man of his
character, and adds:
His experience with Hon. Bill
Joel Stone should bring that truth
home to Hon. William J. Bryan. In
the course of his series of articles in
the Commoner, mentioning good presi-
Dental timber, Stone came in for a
laudatory paper. And in less than a
month Stone, on the same platform
with Bryan and before his eyes, made
a bowling donkey of himself and
showed that there was not enough
presidential timber in him to make a
toothpick. And now Mr.. Bryan finds
himself in a ridiculous position of
which his enemies are making the
most. Richmond Times Dispatch.

BAD POLICY.

The New Orleans Picayune of Mon
day has a long complimentary write
up of Hattiseburg, 1.-THE Magic City

can.
That's right and the people of this
city appreciate the kind words the Pic.
had to say about Hattiesburg. But
it will be noticed that it has adopted
very bad policy of trying to head off
the Times Democrat. AS soon as the
latter paper announced that it would
issue special Mississippi edition the
first of next month, and of course give
write-up of the most prominent
towns in the state, at once the Pic.
sneaks in and attempts to intercede
with the legitimate work of the
Times-Democrat. Honesty is the best
policy, even in the journalistic field.

TROUBLE IN LEAKE.

y man came into this neighborhood
few days ago claiming to be selling
7pectacles and put up with one of the
best farmers in the community last
Sunday night, and Monday moring he
acted very strangely and frightened
the lady of the house, who was alone,
her husband having left early in the
morning for Forest. On Tuesday morn
ing he was notified to leave the COM
munity and not appear hear again
which he said he would do.
Also few days ago two fruit tree
agents bargained with colored man,
so he told US, to take them to Forest
for which they would pay him 81, 90.
He carried them but when they got to
Forest they gave him the dodge and
he has heard nothing more of them.
1t is strange, but nevertheless true,
that people will listen to the fairy
tails of such men and trade With them
as long as they have cent. We have
known many spectacles sold here
which could have been bought under
guarantee for less than half price.
Fruit trees sold the same way, and
many other articles. Barnum said,
" People liked to be humbugged, and
some times we think that he was
quite correct. Of course this is none
of our business, but it does seem
strange that people send hundreds of
dollars outside of the community
when they could get the same goods
for half they send off through men
who are only working to beat
Walnut Grove Dawn of Light.

NOT ON THE GOVERNORS LIST.

We have always blamed the rail
road officials for placing Greenville
in such small letters on their maps.
1t hurts our city as was shown in
Fridays papers which contained list
of Governor Longino's appointments,
and Greenville was not on the list.
This could be the only cause of the
oversight. -Greenville Times.
Vicksburg was also left out in the
cold. But then Vickbsrug is Money

(who undoubtedly made up the list of
appointments never did like it

Well,T have you fellows lost any
thing? You speak of Governor Lon

Pass Christian westward afforded the
best oyster grounds and contained
most of the natural reefs.
The shells will be placed along the
edges of the natural reefs so as to in
crease the area. Oysters grow wher-
ever the spawn finds Judgment, with
the conditions favorable, and as they
are indigeous to nearly all the water
in the Mississippi sound, the commits
sion expects the plan of planting shells
to create reefs stretching over the lar
ger portion of the sound.
The Bowers oyster law has now
been tested one season, and while there
are more minor defects in its practical
appliance, as rule it has given
much satisfaction. Under it's work
ing the output of canned oysters this
season has been as large, if not larger,
than ever before, and the reefs con-
tinued to furnish an abundant supply

would inevitably be a source of hurt
full irritation.
This is very clear expression of
the facts in the case and the execu-
tive committee does not get around
the question by seeking nominations
OF its own party candidates. Even if
it did it would not advance this cause.
for, as Bishop Galloway's letter very
truly says:
The admirable law we now have,
which might be much improved in
several important particulars, was
given after repeated and earnest So
licitation by the prohibitionists of
Mississippi in state convention assem-
bled. Whatever its merits or demer-
its 1T was asked by the friends of re-
form themselves. And no one can
question its great efficiency
Ito my mind it would be illogical
and unwise to seek a simple statute
which would serve as repeal of our
present laws, and I capitally fear
would retard rather than speed the
day of constitutional prohibition. -
Local option should be good enough
for all American citizens. -Natche2

portion of the amount was given to

LOCAL OPTION GOOD ENOUGH.

1t had been generally supposed that
Bishop Chas. B. Galloway's open let
ter given to the public last February
had effectually settled the question OF
mixing prohibition with Mississippi
politics, at least for this year, but the
| action of the Prohibition Campaign
Committee in calling for nominations
of county candidates for the State
Legislature proves that the SUPPOSE
ton is erroneous. 1t is not probable
that the efforts of the committee will
have any serious effect upon the CON-
pletion of the next legislature, for
the present law is more equitable
than statutory prohibition and if pro-
perly enforced will prove more effec-
tive. Under the act of 1902, repeal
ing section l, 575 of the annotated code
of 1892, licens to retail may be grant
ed only to citizens or towns of five
hundred inhabitants or more, having
police protection, day and night, but
chapter 81 of the code of 1892 which
governs in the matter of local option.
That the present law is good enough
for Bishop Galloway who is one Of
the acknowledged LEADERS of the pro-
hibition movement was shown in his
letter in which he said:
Having signed the first call for
state prohibition convention, and
having been actively connected with
the cause through all the intervening
years, / may be pardoned in having a
deep solicitude for it's future success.
In our first convention held in
1881, an official address was issued, in
which these words occur: we have
nothing to do with politics.. And in
the last state prohibition convention
held several years ago this language
is found in the platform of principles:
'"We reaffirm the declarations made
by the first state prohibition conven-
ton, July 20, 1881, and frequently re-
peated, that the cause of prohibition
should be distinguished from party
politics. Without disturbing the
party affiliations of any citizen we ask
his support of this great reform which
should be sacredly enthroned above
the contests for mere place and
power. -
In his next paragraph he directed
attention to very important matter
in connection with the matter of
political efficacy in the way of secur-
ing statutory prohibition, says:
There is not single line of any |
law Oh the statute books of |
any commonwealth in America, placed |
there by the agency of prohibition
party
At that time it was the intention of
the promoters in this movement to
query all candidates for office and sup
port none but avowed prohibitionists.
Referring to this suggestion Bishop
Galloway said that ''as we have al
ways declined to ask even recognition
rom political parties, could not
avor resolution which proposes to
candidates for political
'fice and exact pledges on this issue.
That would be distinctive violative CT
ur declaration of principles and

WORK SUSPENDED
 AT STEEL PLANT
Shut Down at EnSIey Believed
 to be Temporary
THE NEWS NOT SURPRISING
Has Been Known for Some Time That T. c. e l. Go. Would Close Down Plant for Necessary Repairs
 and Improvements.

Ensley, November 14.-(Special)- was suspended at steel platn today. This temporary suspension was deemed exped- ent by the officials of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company on account of slack orders and some much needed repairs that have to be made.
 Fifteen hundred men are idle by the closing down of the plant. but as it has been known for some time that the plant would be compelled to suspend operations a few weeks before Christmas for repair ing the announcement this morning was not surprise. as all the men were pre- pared for the news.
 It Is a matter of general note that all steel plants close down at least once a year for repairs. This plant has been running for three years on double time without shutting down. In this respect it stands without a parallel. Small orders are being received every day and when these have accumulated sufficiently to insure several days work the plant will be started up at once. Several large orders have recently been received for rails, but as they are not to be delivered in several weeks, the officials did not think it wise to begin on them until nearer the time for delivery
 A new mixing machine and eighteen blowing engines are being installed at the plant which when completed will greatly facilitate the work. It is said that there are some repairs to be done around the open hearth furnaces that are ab- solutely essential.
 The people of the Steel City are not depressed in the least over the shut down. They say that Ensley's progress will not be hindered by this temporary suspension.
 At the regular meeting of the council next Thursday night, it Is probable that bids will be advertised for contracts to put in the S6O0OO sewerage and sanitary systems.
 Mayor Scott received notice today from Speir x Co.,. brokers of Baltimore, that the bonds had been prepared and shipped to the First National bank of Ensey for the signatures of the Ensley officials. After they are signed up the bonds will be shipped back to Speir X Go. It Is safe to say that within the next thirty days ground for the sewerage and sani- tary systems will be broken.
