Warning.

The Southern Cotton Associa-
ton has won it's third great victo-
ry against much opposition. We
are now considered a powerful
factor in the cotton world. Our
successful campaign has won for
US these plaudits and this con-
sideration. The fight is only be-
gun; and the next attack will
come like thief in the night.
Look well, good farmers and bus
mess men interested in a greater
Industrial South, that the leaders
chosen this December are able,
fearless and honest men, and
above the taking of any mans
gold as the price of fealty TO the
Cotton Association and the South.
Yes, the next fight will be along
different lines. How enticing are
soft berths and nice political sine
cures as opposed to the hard work
of fighting the heroic battles OF
this industrial South, thereby op-
posing the interests of the graf
ter, the gambler and manipulation.
/ say, Cotton Association work is
hard work 'tis campaign work,
tits pioneer work, but with ener-
gy and right on our side, justice
on the lookout and clear-headed
determination at the wheel we
will continue to win battles. Bull

ISSUES AN OPEN LETTER.
Strong Addresses to American Express
Company.

The prohibition attorneys in
Jackson engaged in the fights
against the G. 0. d. liquor traffic
have received copies of an open
letter addressed by State Senator
Wiley Sanders, of Kosciusko, to
the American Express Company.
The letter is very straightfor-
ward document, and is in full as
follows:
"Gentlemen:-It is noted that
you have been doing business in
Mississippi for a number of years,
that you have shared in the gen.
eral prosperity that has marked
the progress of. the common
wealth in the past, and that you
have been duly protected in the
interest of your business by the
laws thereof, and that from time
to time you have invoked the pro-
lection of those laws.
"Do you think that it will be a
profitable business, and is it not
in rather bad form for you to
claim protection from our laws on
one hand and bid defiance to such
laws on the other?
''Do you not think you are
making a serious mistake in help
ing to flood our country with a
beverage that is debauching our
manhood, wrecking our homes,
and diverting millions of dollars
from the legitimate channels of
commerce, in Difference to traffic
that has been outlawed in our
State!
''You say that the Federal con-
stitution compels you to do this.
1t is noted, however, that you re-
fused to bring merchandise and
even money from New Orleans
during the fever when demanded
by the banks and business men of
the State. Please give the article
and section that allows you to
thus discriminate.
''If the further plea for aiding
this traffic on the ground that you
are common carrier is tenable,
how is it that the Southern Ex-
press Company, also common
carrier, can and does refuse G. o.
D. whisky shipments!
Just one more question, ii
you please:
''If you have no interest in the
matter except to do your duty as
common carrier, how is it that
when the whisky houses get in
trouble with State laws you come
in as party to the suit as you
did in the case of The American
Express Company and K. M.
Coffin & Co. versus the State OF
Iowa?'
Now, the people of Mississip-
pi wish you we'll, but they mean
for you while receiving the pro-
lection of the State laws to also
obey them, and if they can't reach
you through the Federal courts a
way will be opened in the State
courts, even if they have to for
bid you to establish or maintain
an Office in the State until you
obtain a charter from the State to
do business, in which case you
will be FORCED to obey State
IaWS''

When an Irishman pronounces sea

authority, for Chaucer, Spenser, Milton
and Dryden all pronounced these words
exactly as he does. As a matter of fact.
most of these so called Irish pronuncia-
tions are merely old time importations
from England and are thus more Eng

centuries ago and more the educated

1hANAS' for such observ-
ance was started by him in 1868, ana
there has since. been no break in the
yearly Thanksgiving proclamations
since that date
The first Lincoln proclamation APP
pointing a day for divine supplication
was dated Aug. II, 1861 1t desig-
mated the last Thursday in September
as "a day of humiliation, prayer and
fasting" Things did not look especial
ly bright for the northern arms just
then The memory of Bull Run was
still fresh Perhaps to this fact may
be ascribed the pathetic wording of
the document:
Whereas, When our own beloved coun-
try, once, by the blessing of God, united
prosperous and happy, is now afflicted
with faction and civil war, it is peculiar
ly fit for us to recognize the hand of God
in this terrible visitation and in sorrowful
crimes as a nation and as individuals to
humble ourselves before him and to pray
for his mercy.
Thousands of individuals through
out the land refrained from food and
prayed for the nations salvation. The
regular Thanksgiving in November,
1861, was rather subdued occasion
and there was no presidential procla-
nation. BY the following spring, how
ever, the clouds had begun to lift.

So on the 10th of April Lincoln re-
quested that the people give thanks
because lit has pleased Almighty
God to vouchsafe signal victories to
the land and naval forces" Thanks
giving day proper in November of 1862
was observed much as it had been the
year previous and no proclamation ac-
| companied it.
The momentous year Of 1868 saw
| three such proclamations, however.
! The first was dated March 30 and
| designated April 80 as day of fasting
| and prayer. In this rather noteworthy
| document occurs the significant state

By July 10 Vicksburg had opened
! the Mississippi, and Gettysburg had
] ended the fear of invasion, so on that
! day another proclamation was issued
reciting that God had heard the pray
ers of the people and had vouchsafed
| victories on land and sea SO signal
| and so effective" as to promise ulti.
mate peace. So Thursday, Aug. &, was
set apart as a day for national thanks
