 The priests had gobbled up everything worth having, living in luxury and casting a spell of mental, moral and physical slav- cry over the poor people that can only be removed by getting rid of the miserable superstition in- culcated by the dissolute priest hood. Let Beaufort look at Spain, a people equal to any other in physique and intellectual endow- ment, yet with twelve centuries of priestly domination and Cath. olic idolatry they are at the tail end of the procession, and no doubt would have been better off under Payne, Voltaire or Inger-  sol.
 Italy and Mexico are examples of the unique and splendid en- lightenment of Beaufort's church but if I were he l would go to the jungles of Africa to praise it, though don't think it would be an improvement there. Had Beaufort not let his little person. al spite run him out of the Meth odist church, think he would have been a better and happier man.

WANT THE HOG
 LAW ENACTED
Mass Meeting of Citizens at Hope Discusses Supreme
 Court Decision.

Hope, May 30. A mass meet ing held this afternoon for the purpose of considering the effects of the recent decision of the Su- preme Court regarding the hog law in Hampstead county and to take steps to protect crops now being made under the four-wire fence law was attended by sever- al hundred people. including farmers from all parts of the county. The sentiment of the meeting was expressed in favor of the hog law or four wire fence and a resolution passed asking the representatives and senators in the next legislature to exert their influence for the passage of such a law.
 The question which now con- fronts the farmers is whether they are going to endeavor to make their crops under such a fence or put in their time build ing hog-proof fences, thus losing much of their crops through lack of workinc them. On a motion being made and voted upon re- garding the advisibility of keep ing hogs up only three negative votes were cast and the meeting was clearly and enthusiastically in favor of the hog law and four wire fences.

 If Beaufort is posted on the teaching of the Catholic Church, he knows that communication is believed by all Catholics to con- sign to eternal torture, unless the communicated one has left be- hind enough sheckles to hire a priest to pray him out. But the man that can believe the pope in- fallible can believe anything, even if all the evidence is against it, as all the evidence is against the infallibility dogma of the Catho- lie hierachy.

SMALL VOTE
 THIS MORNING
But An Avalanche of Votes Will Be Cast This
 Afternoon.

The count today revealed the fact that contestants are waiting and holding back for the final count, there being only 582 votes in the box at ten o'clock this morning. They were divided as follows:
 Hitchcock 300, Dougan 156, Moncrief 100 and Daniel 26. Miss Almand PAT, Miss Wilson 229 and M. E. Dougan 106.
 At four o'clock sharp, this af- ternoOn, the contest closes. All who have votes should get them in before that hour to in- sure their being counted. Every one has had ample warning and at the time designated the con- test will close. Good feeling has been supreme all through the contest, and everyone has had a fair and square deal, and at the end the winners may rest as- sured that they are getting noth- ing but what came legitimately. and those who will be defeated can charge it to no reason except tha they failed to get sufficient votes. This afternoon will be busy one around the Picayune office. The young lady contest ants are leaving nothing undone to further their interests, and as a consequence, hundreds of names are being added to our subscription list, both Daily and Weekly.

BEAUFORT, THE SAPIENT.

Editor Picayune-I am ever so much obliged to A. D. Meredith Beaufort for calling my attention to the fact that "a greater than Solomon is here" If this is not what he intends to call attention to by his reference to Mat. XII 42, 1 do not know what it is True, the queen of the south shall rise up, etc., but this is in per feet accord with my views as set forth in the pamphlet, that rais- ed the ire of the sapient Solomon of modern times. Never having had any acquaintance with the Hebrew Solomon 1 am not pre- pared to say whether our Pres colt Solomon is greater than him or not. If the effusion that ap- peared Tn your issue of the 18th inst. is a fair sample of our own Solomon's wisdom, am inclined, after careful and prayerful reading of a few of the Hebrew Solomon's effusions, as set forth ill Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, that he is not much behind our Solo mon, although it will not matter if we admit, inasmuch as the He brew is dead and will not be of tended, that the diction and lit erary polish of our man is some what in advance.
 I wish now to notice some things that Beaufort calls my at tention to. He says, T wish Mir. Jones would seek his information about the teachings of the Catho- lie church from Catholic sources" Now, in my ignorance, l have of- ten wondered why a court of jus tice should be so unreasonable as to demand information" other than what the criminal was will ing to give. But as proof of my statement in the pamphlet, to which Beaufort takes exception. I submit from a Catholic source" the following:
 By the authority of God, the Father Almighty, of the blessed Virgin Mary of St. Peter and St. Paul and of the holy saints: We curse and ban, commit and deliv- CT to the devil of hell. him or her, whatsoever he or she may be.

e0y, x.O. PINDALL
 TO LEAVE STATE
After the Term of Speaker Hamiter Expires in
 September.

Little Rock, June l.. Acting Governor X. o. Pindall announc- ed Saturday that he intended to leave the State in both Septem- her and October to attend two national conventions. one at Chi capo and the other at Albuquer- oue, N. M. His announcement comes as a surprise in view of tbe fact that the Governor re- gently withdrew from the race for delegate at large to the nat ional Democratic Convention on the ground that he did not wish to risk a repitition of an attempt to seize the governors chair, such as was made when Speaker Allen H. Hamiter of the House of Representatives took posses sion in the Governors absence and called an extra session of the legislature.
 The announcement made yes terday by Acting Governor Pin dall, however, is explained by his friends, who bring to light new feature in the controversy in the assertion that the gover- nor may safely leave the State after the Septe aber election. when the term of Allen H. Ham, iter expires. The house will be without speaker and there will be no one, according to the claims of Governor Pindall's friends, clothed with authority to take reins of the government during the Acting Governors absence from the State.
 Acting Governor Pindall can leave the State in all safety af- ter September 14." declared one of the Acting Governors close friends last night. The term of Speaker Allen fl. Hamiter ex- pires when his successor is elect ed. His successor, Tillman Parks, will be elected September l4 and after that the House of Representatives will be without a speaker. In that event there will be no one with the authority to take the governors chair dur ing the absence of the executive from the State. Governor Pindall could not attend the national convention with this assurance, however, as the convention is held in July and at that time AL len H. Hamiter will be speaker and will be clothed with the au- thority to act as governor. :"
 Acting Governor Pindall eX- pects to attend the national irri- gahon convention at Albuquer- que, N. M., which will be held September g to October 10, in- claslve, and the deep waterways conference at Chicago, which VIII be held October 8, 9, 10.

 ette concerning the assertion
 mat he would be powerless to
