An End to the Jackson Way.

A special from Jackson to the
Picayune:
The city officials are about to
run the negro who has been
dispensing booze to the thirsty
people of jackson, out of his hid
ing place. The officials for the
last two weeks have been engaged
in a vigorous campaign against
the illicit sellers of festive spirits.
The cOlored brothers who pre-
side behind the bars of the sever
al clubs and the blind tigers have
been hard to locate, for the rea-
son that the persons called be
fore his honor to testify could
only tell that they purchased the
whiskey from negro. Further
than this they could not tell. As
to his name, his features, they
could tell nothing.
Now Mayor Hemingway and
Prosecuting Attorney Stricken
are asking another questions:
Who did you apply to to get the
whiskey that the negro served?
and this question solves the prob
lem. They have to give the name
OF the person to whom they ap-
ply to get the whisky, and the
persons that the city officials are
after have thus been brought 10
light and will be brought TO JUS
tice. The names of some of the
persons whom the police have
suspected of running blind tigers
and selling whisky have been
given in, aud with them evidence
that will convict in the courts. "

There are reactions and reac-
tiOns. The great reaction which
Vardaman S candidacy is sup
posed to have caused has come
and gone and it finds the people S
candidate stronger with the
masses than ever. This is the
first instance in the history of
the State when the man in the
back woods had had a voice ia
the selection of State officers.
Through the primary law his
vote counts as much as the big
gest politicians, and he knows it.
The many attempts made by the
politicians over the State to de
feat Vardaman have been foiled
and they have endeared him to the
common people closer than ever.
