PRoHlBITIoNlsTs IN EARNEST

Declare for National Prohibition and
Believe Blind Pigs are Not So mimi
cal to Good Morals as the Open
Saloon.
The state prohibition party, in their
convention at Fargo, found only two
republicans worthy of Endorsement,
Messrs. Young and Engerud for the su-
preme court. The platform, while de-
claring for initiative and referendum
and primary election, is principally
strong on the question of prohibition
and says:
The destruction of the liquor traffic
is the most important issue in Ameri-
can politics.
The cowardice and lack of states
manship exhibited by the leaders of
the republican and democratic parties
in their treatment of the liquor issue
has resulted in the practical DONNA
ton Of national, state and local govern
ment by the liquor traffic
All methods of dealing with the
liquor traffic which recognize it's right
to exist have proved powerless to re-
move it's evil, which the insignificant
license revenue has scared the public
conscience.
The enactment and enforcement of
prohibitory legislation, in which alone
lies the hope of protecting the peo-
pie from the liquor traffic, requires
that the legislative, executive and judi
cial branches of government should be
in the hands of a party which believes
in and is pledged to the enactment and
enforcement of prohibitory law.
We pledge the prohibition party
whenever given power, to prohibit and
abolish the manufacture, importation,
transportation and sale of alcoholic
beverages.
There is no other issue of equal i'm
portance, and the so-called issues of
the republican and democratic parties
are largely subterfuges under cover of
which they wrangle for the spoils of

We view with alarm the threatened
resubmission of the liquor question
and we submit that the question is

tilted the wisdom of the prohibition
law in this state. We point with pride
to the benefits of prohibition, and we
point to the small number of inmates
in the state prison Of our state as COM
pared with states where the saloon is
in full sway as a proof of the benefits
of prohibition. We deplore the laxity
in the enforcement Of the law in the
frontier districts of the state, neverthe-
less we recognize that the "blindpigs
and bootleggers" are not a hundredth
part so inimical to good morals as the
| open saloon. Believing national prohi-
bition to be necessary as a protection
to state prohibition and believing the
| question as to whether our national
government shall continue it's protect
ing favor to the saloon business, to be
the greatest question before the peo-
pie, we call upon the temperance men
Of this state of all parties to cast their
votes for the national candidates of
the prohibition party, in order that the
nation may be blessed with prohibition
as our state is now favored with that
reform.

The only contest in the recent repub-
lican convention at Grand Forks was
ON congressional nominees. The north
ern counties signed up early for A. J.
Gronna of Lakota and as this combina-
ton with the fourth district which was
solid for Marshall offered a successful
combine and Cass county with Spald-
ing could make no combination that
promised to win the result was favor
able to Marshall and Gronna There
were over 800. or large majority,
signed up for the slate before the
Missouri slope counties joined in and
made the number about 400 On the
roll call there were some splits. All
the counties cast their entire votes
for Gronna, except Barnes, 10 for
Spalding: Billings 4 for Spalding;
Bottineau. II for Spalding: Emmons
2 for Spalding and 5 for Gron-
ma: Mercer 5 for Spalding: Pierce 1
for Spalding, for Gronna; Ransom 5
for Spalding, 9 for Gronna; Rolette 1
for Spalding, for Gronna; Stark
for Spalding; Steele for Spalding
and Ward 2 for Spalding and "a for
Gronna. A total of 101 for Spalding
and 40 for Gronna. Stark county
was instructed for Spalding and Simp
son made one of the seconding
speeches. The sudden death of Hon
John M. Cochrane was the subject OF
suitable resolutions of sorrow and re
gret on the part of the convention.
Notwithstanding the hopelessness Of
their cause, the prohibitionists of the
fast and have nominated state ticke
to be voted for at the fall election
Without charging anything agains
their sincerity and earnestness, the
wisdom of this dignified and ancien
party may be questioned 1t is ex
tremely unlikely that any party will
ever be successful upon platform
with a single plank in it. and that ;
plank calling for sumptuary legisla
ton. The republican platform call
for the enforcement of the prohibition
law, as all other laws are enforced
The prohibitionists should ally them
selves with the one of the great partie
from which they believe they will OF
tain the greatest encouragement an
assistance, and in that way they ma
accomplish something. AS 1t is, thei
efforts are simply thrown away b.
voting for candidates who have n
possible chance to be elected.

alarm was given.
The girls were stupefied and
stunned by the fearful calamity
which had overtaken them:
One negro informed Mr.. Burke
that one Of the girls approached
him several times exclaiming,
''Oh, Uncle" but never stated
what was the cause of her ex-
citement. The negro became
alarmed and left the scene. The
saw mill men were first to reach
the scene of the drowning and
they went heroically to work.
Capt Young, Mr.<Will Ussery,
Mr.. Ware and others soon joined
in the task and they worked I'M
remittingly until the bodies were
recovered and the hope of rescus-
stating life had been abandoned.
Capt. Burke stated yesterday
that the first man drowned at
this point in his life time was a
white man in 1916. He was en-
gagged in making brick at Wav
erly and got in the current at
this deep water point and was
lost. In 1866 three negroes who
were in swimming here were all
drowned and only a few years
agoyoung Cottrell, of West Point,
Miss, an expert swimmer. sank
at this point from exhaustion.
There have been others who
have met watery graves here but
whose names could not be recall
ed by Capt. Burke yesterday.
Memorial services were held
in the College on Monday and the
day was observed as a holiday in
honor of the memories of the
dead girls. President Kincan-

In Memory OF Mss Emma Griffin.

This estimable Christian lady
departed this life April 10th,
1904, surrounded by mourning
loved ones, at tie home of her
brother. law, Mr.. J. P. Conner
of Noxubee county. She was
born and reared in Giles county
Tenn. Her sojourn upon this
earth was nearly fifty-four years
having been born Nov, 9th,
1850 For many years she was
a most consistent and devoted
member of the Presbyterian
church connecting herself with
this denomination of christians
when quite girl, being only
nine or ten years OF age. True
to her own creed and church at
all times, her kind. gentle
and generous heart easily led
her to lovingly affiliate with
christians of every name. Truly
hers was a life of sacrifice. To
minister unto the wants of others
was ever LIES ruling motive with
her At the tender age of child
hood the subject of this sketch
was deprived by death of the
4o,,5o,. -; +3r,, . a,,I copos Ofo
fond mother; and scarcely had
her life rounded into young
womanhood ere she was called
upon to take the place Of moth
er in rearing her younger sisters
and brothers. These younger
children, Mr.. Foster Griffin. of
Columbus, Mrs. @. Blewett. of
the country, Mrs. J. p. Conner.
of NoXubee county and Mrs.
Mamie Drake of Birmingham,
Ala, all rise up and bless her
memory. Aud we'll they may
for was she not indeed and in
truth, a mother to them? In adj
dition to the brothers and sisters
already mentioned she is sincere
ly mourned. and her memory
fondly cherished, by her only
full brother. our good friend,
Mr.. O. r. Giffin, of Colum bus.
Her father, Mr.. A. p. Griffin, for
many years a citizen Of this
county, proceeded her to the
better land" several years ago.
The ideal lifeof womanaly WON
an is the care of children; and
since God, in His infinite wisdom
placed these little ones in Miss
Emma's hands, how nobly did
she reach up to and grasp that
ideal life. For the last two or
three years, physical suffering
has been her constant portion,
but she bore all of this without
a murmur and with meek Chris
tian resignation. Surely the one
who had lived this self sacrifc-
ing life had no fear in meeting
her pilot face to face, and was
full of the blessed assurance of
an abundant entrance into that
home of the blessed, " where
the wicked cease from troub-
ling, and the weary are at rest. "
Gladly is this poor garland
laid upon her bier by her physi-
clan and friend.

The Survey Completed.

The survey for the Columbus
Memphis and Pensacola Railroad
was completed Saturday and the
party of engineers who have been
at work on the route for the past
two months disbanded. Mr.. Eos
ter returning to his home 10
work up his estimates.
The prospective route, as it now
stands consists of a line from
this city extending twenty five
miles without a break, then
branching to Amory aud Aber-
deem. 1t is understood that a
decision has not yet been reach
ed as to which of the two routes
will be chosen.
The work so far has been re-
markably successful, the survey
being carried on with little
trouble and routes chosen that
will make the construction of a
railroad comparatively easy. the
section through which the road
is to be built being practically
free from Instructions in the
way of hills and large streams.
Although the rightof way has
not yet been secured the pros
pect for a new road for Columbus
is extremely flattering, and the
doubts that have been predomi-
nant in the minds of many may
soon be dispelled.
