Who Knew Alexander Mann?

r. O. Edwards, postmaster at
Jackson. received a letter this
morning from George W. Nc
MILAN, a merchant at Acworth,
Ga, telling of the finding of a
Mississippi Confederate soldiers
grave at t. at place few days
ago, and asking him to put the
matter before The people of the
State for the purpose of finding
some infor nation as to the vet
Grams relatives. In the letter
Mr.. Mcmillan says that while he
had charge of the cleaning off of
the cemetery there the other day
a grave was found with the fol-
lowing inscription on it: Alex
ander Mann, Forty third Missis-
sippi Regiment Thinking per
haps that some relatives of this
dead soldier may be living and
never knew of his resting place,
the Acworth citizen wrote the
letter for the purpose of satisfy
ing some sad hearts that never
knew of the fate of their loved
one. An effort will be made to
find the relatives of this Confed-
crate soldier.
The above is from a Jackson
special and explains itself THE
DISPATCH reproduces it ia the
hope that the relatives and
friends of Alexander Mann, if
there be any living. may know
where his body is slseping the
last sleep.
There were three companies
which went out from this county
as mem bers of the Forty third
Mississippi, Col. ]. o. Banks
company, the late John NJ. Bill
lups company and Capt. Hamp-
tons company. which was or
ganized from the northern and
eastern section of the county.
1t is thought, as mem bers of the
local commands cannot recall
Mann, that he was a member of
Hampton's company, and his
body being at Acworth, in Geor-
gia, is accounted for by the fact
that he was in the Georgia cam
paign, probably dying from i'll
ness there at the above place.
The relatives and friends of Mann
can secure all the information
they want by writing and COM
municating with the parties
above.

The PROT GIVE POLICY.
1t Makes Good Times. Good Wages and
Good Citizens.

Good Citizens.
An unanswerable argument in favor
OF protection is that it maintains stand
ard of high wages for American work
men. An American producer cannot
compete with an English producer unless
he can get his labor at the same wages
that are paid in England, or is in some
way protected against low-wage compe-
tition. No true American wants to see
the British standard OF wages introduce
ed in this country. The security and
tranquility OF the country in time of
peace and its honor aud safety in time
Of war depend upon the maintenance Of
such standard Of wages as will make
the workingman feel that he has stake
in the country. When you put hope out
of his heart; when he sees no promise
of improved conditions for his children
when he sees that his wages mean mere
ly daily sustenance. as is the case in
most European countries. he is not apt
TO have that interest in his country that
comes from wage scale that enables
him to feel that he has a chance to get
on in the world and give his children a
better chance in life than he has had
himself. The Republican policy of pro.
lection makes good times. good wages
and good citizens. The Democratic
policy Of free trade creaies the reverse.
