The mayor and r. e.. Remington,
prominent business man of Jackson,
and head of the Jones Huntington
dry goods company, are going to New
York as the representatives of the city

water pressure and other things which
he deemed essential. A number of
these recommendation have since
been carried out, and the board stands

FAVORS, A RELIGIOUS TRUST
So as to Provide Churches in Places
They are Most Needed.

Chicago.-A s'trnst" in religions
forces to bring about economics in
sorul-saving after the manner of the
commercial world has been advocated
by the Rev. Bruce Brown, in the North
Side Christian Church. cit ia high
time there should be a trust in reli-
gious forces and resources" he said.
"Our present methods tend to multi
ply churches in respectable communl-
ties and to leave the slums destitute OF
church privileges. We build 50 many
churches among the comparatively
good people that we have no money
left to preach the gospel to the poor.
The millennium will never dawn on q
divided church. The kingdoms of this
world will not be made the kingdoms
of God by any sect or schism. Our
usefulness and efficiency and influence
would be magnifed many fold if we
would cease multiplying churches
where they are needed the least and
use the money for building churches
where they are needed the most. ]
am in favor of religious trust"

Candidate win Not Contest.

The two highest candidates for the
senate In Lafayette will run over in .
second primary for the nomination,
without waiting for an official opinion
on the question submitted to the at
torney general. It will be recalled
that it was stated several days ago
that Mr.. Hightower, the plurality
candidate, was claiming the nomina-
ton on the ground that Lafay ette
county was a senatorial district all by
itself and under the terms of the pri~
mary law, his plurality in the county
gave him the electoral vote of the
district, which just happens to be that
of the county, thus nominating him.
1t now develops that Mr.. Hightower
does not intend to press this oonten-
ton, but will run in the second pri-
mary with the next man on the ticket.

The board of supervisors of Lee
county have decided to sell a series of
ten-year 5 per cent bonds, aggregat-
ing $4,000. These bonds are authoriz-
ed by a recent act of the legislature
providing that communities or dis
tricts possessing overfowed or swamp
lands may tax themselves for reclaim
ing such land, and bringing them into
cultivation. In the Lee county case
the district is known as the upper
Chippewa Swamp Land District" en-
bracing large areas of the most fertile

tion by private means. The denomi-
nations of the bonds range from $27S
to SAIL, ten in number, one of which

hoated; and work on the road is to be
begun soon, calls atten ton to the fact
that Hamburg is likely to have three

The corporate limits and may yet be
adopted. The Pearl and Leaf river
survey also runs through the corpo-
rate limits, aot great distance from
the depot of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley railroad, which already passes
through the town. The building of
the Natchez and Gulf Railroad will
result in the building of hotel at
Wildwood Springs, which will then
become suberb of this town.

CURRENT CULLINGS
IN MISSISSIPPI.
Lee County to Sell Bonds to Reclaim
Swamp Lands.
IMMENSE TARPONS CAUGHT
Trouble Brewing Between Oyster and
Shrimp Fishermen and the Packers-.-
Agreement Between Candidates Con.
demned at Natchez.

During the summer the oystermen
and men engaged in taking shrimp
have organized strong union known
as the Oystermen's Protective Asso-
citation. The Biloxi branch of the or
ganization has a membership of 325.
AS the fall shrimping season APP
proaches it becomes evident that there
will be some friction between the as
ISOLATION and the packers. The oys-
termen will insist on sealed" or
stamped" measure to be used IN
buying shrimp and oysters, different
from the measure that has heretofore
been in vogue. The old ''half- bar
rel" that has been in use since the
canneries were established along this
coast, is fourteen inches high, nine
teen inches in diameter at the bottom
and twenty-four inches at the top.
This measure will hold about los to
ITO pounds of shrimp. The new
measure which the oystermen insist
shall be adopted will contain just 100
pounds. Though the shrimping sea-
son has scarcely begun and only one
of the Biloxi factories has worked any
shrimp this season, it is now evident
that there will be a conflict between
the association and the packers, not
only in regard to the ''sealed" meas
ure, but the price to be paid for
shrimp and oysters as we'll. The pack
ers say that they are willing to pay
the highest market price, but are un-
willing that the association shall die
tate what that price shall be, and
they are not willing to adopt the
sealed measure. At present the oys-
termen are only insisting on the
sealed or stamped measure.

ATE NEWS OF MISSISSIPPI.
LAST Week Of The Campaign Full of
Interest.

Interest.
This is the last full week of the state
campaign which has been in progress
for the last six or eight months. The
primary election takes place one week
from Thursday. The forces on both
sides are lining up. A feature of the
second primary election is going to be
the part that will be played by the po-
lltlcal clubs. More clubs have been
organized in the last week than have
been organized since the inception of
the campaign. The only contests that
are to be settled in the second primary
are governor and railroad commission
or in the First and Second districts.
OF course the contest for governor
overshadows everything else. Both
candidates will mingle with the voters
in various parts of the state until We'd
nesday week. The returns from the
primary election to be held on Thurs
day, Aug. 81, will come in very rapid
ly after the polls close. The ticket
that is to be voted this time is short
one, and it is believed that the count
will be finished at every polling pre-
cinct in the state by or 1880 O'Clock
that evening. and at the larger pre-
cincts in the cities the count will be
finished by 8 O'Clock. Enough re-
turns will be received by 10 o'clock on
the night Of the 9th to indicate who
will be the next governor of the state.
OF course, there are some interior
counties which will not be heard from
until next day, as they are remote
from the railroad and telegraph, but
the majority of the counties are within
easy access.
