First Southern Immigrants.

The first batch of Europe an i'm
migrants for Southern port ar
rived at New Orleans Friday, con-
sisting of 369 able bodied laborers
with comparatively few women and
children, composed of Germans,
Turks, Albanians, Hungarians,
Greeks and other nationalities, and
included only forty seven Sicilians
and Italians. They received a
warm welcome to the Crescent City,
and were eagerly offered employ
ment at 81 50 per day and upwards
Many labor employers were present
when the vessel arrived but the
mum Der of immigrants was not at all
adequate to the demand and nu-
merous disappointmenta were ex-
perienced. The success Of this van
guard in obtaining ready employ
ment at satisfactory wages and
pleasant treatment at the hands of
employers, will result in the arrival
in due course of time of many hun
dreds of others at New Orleans and
other Southern ports.

Careful Storing of Cotton.

President Walter Clark of the
Mississippi division of the Southern
Cotton Association, has disseminat-
ed the following advice and warning
to the farmers ana warehousemen
in regard to better protection Of cot
ton for market. President Clark is
instituting a crusade against the care
less and unsatisfactory manner in
vogue of packing and preparing the
staple for either holding or market
ing, that in the end will result in
great improvement and the enhanc-
ment of its value:
After seeing the damaged con-
dition of our cotton as received in
Liverpool and other foreign ports,
caused by exposure in open COM
press yards and on the streets of va
rious towns and cities, | desire to
serve notice on all parties concerned
that at the meeting Of the legisla-
ture | will have introduced bill
making it a misdemeanor for any
person to collect any charges what
ever unless said cotton is stored in a
thoroughly waterproof warehouse.
| shall also bring this matter to the
attention of the officers of the Cot
ton Association and the Farmers
Union in each and every State, with
view of having similar legislation.
Enough cotton was lost in the State
of Mississippi last season to build
fireproof warehouses to store every
bale of cotton grown in the State,
and | shall do everything possible
to have these defective methods
corrected at the earliest possible
moment

DREW LOTS.

In Yaz0o county two candidates
for supervisor tied in the recent pri-
mary and called on Chairman Lo-
max for a ruling by which the con-
test should be settled. That official
stated that the primary law was
silent on the subject, but the gener-
al election law provided for the cast
ing OF lots in such emergencies, and
suggested that action.
Here in Monroe county there was
a tie in the first primary between
Capt. J. NJ Parchman and Hon.
IT. r. Caldwell on the legislative
ticket. This being discovered by
the executive committee in canvass
ing the vote, a decision similar to
that later advised by Chairman Lo-
max was about to be ordered, but
both the candidates being present.
they agreed to submit their claims
to the second primary which was
satisfactory to all concerned. The
same candidates experienced an
other tie, in the second primary at
the Quincy precinct, receiving u
votes each at that box.

0umSWiZZled. -

Editor of the Herald:
approve and most heartily en-
joyed your editorial styled What
Allied the Whirlwind Campaign -
but must enquire what does the
word gumswizzled mean?.
ENQUIRER.
Let us answer by way of illustra-
ton. There was, in old befo' the
war days, a member of the legisla-
ture from Wilkinson county, most
estimable and popular citizen and
lawyer; though rather more noted
for the emphasis and sound than
the profundity and substance of
speech. In addressing the house
on certain bill he quite thrilled
the audience aud walked the echoes,
by denouncing it an attack upon
the Palladium of our liberties. -
He was interrupted by the request
to explain the phrase. Mr.. Speak
er, he said, 1 am asked what is
the Palladium of our liberties. Sir,
reply to the gentleman that the
Palladium of our liberties is the
Bulwark of our freedom" So we
would inform Enquirer that
gumswizzled' is the synonym of
hornswoggled; a colloquialism of
the wild and woody west .-Vicks-
burg Herald.
In other words, as Capt. Jack
Bunsby, of Dombey & Son, would
have said, the bearing of that OBJ
servation lies in its application.

ernor without any secret pledge or
understanding of any kind as to any
office. Fitness shall be the supreme
test. When an applicant of equal or
superior merit is indorsed by those
who supported me their choice shall
become my choice. No person or
enterprise that meets its tax and
other State obligations. lives within

The canvass was long, trying
and difficult. Those whose con-
trolling political impulse is that of
being on the winning side went
against us solidly. However by
each man $ faithful performance of
duty as he saw it we won a great
victory. Obstacles were greater in
some counties than in others, but
every vote counts alike. Those who
gave earnest work to reduce major
tiles in counties from which moth
ing else could be hoped for equally
share in bringing success.
The press. with a help altogeth-
er unselfish and patriotic, so far as
affected assistance to me, largely
contributed to our victory. Fol
