One hundred years ago Govern
or Ben. G. Humphreys was borr
on the banks Of the Bayou Pierre
in Claiborne county, then the cen.
ter of the Choctaw nation. Hi:
earlist playmates were the little
Indians and in common with all
our early pioneers he spoke their
language huently. Though educat-
ed at the military academy at West
Point be preferred the life of a civil
ian and engaged in cotton plant
ing upon his fathers estate. When
Jackson became president, Mr..
Humphreys was Democrat, but
he left that party and was elected
to the legislature as an independ-
ent when Jackson made war on the
old United States Banks. He be-
came the Whig candidate for the
senate at the next session and de-
feated General Briscoe, then the
leading spirit among the Democrats
of that section. He came to the
delta in IS4S, locating on Roe Buck
Lake and named his plantation Itta
Bena which means In the Choctaw
Home in the Woods. He was
bitterly opposed to secession and
made most vigorous fight 20 pre-
vent the state from seeding, but
when the ordinance was adopted he
raised a company at Roe Buck
Lake, then in Suntlower county,
and called it the SunAower Guards. |
The good ladies of Itta Bena are now
endeavoriug to erect a monument
to the memory of the man who COM
posed his company at the now thriv-
ing little city of Itta Bena. He be-
came colonel of the 2Ist Mississippi
and with his regiment car
-ied the Stars and Bars to the fur
.herest point reached on the bloody
ield of Gettysburg. After the fall
If Barksdale in that great hattie he
vas made brigadier general and
commanded the brigade which be-
anne famous throughout the Con-
ederacy as Barksdale-H Humphreys
'rigade.
In 1865 he was elected governor
+ Mississippi and reelected in
868. In the latter he ran on plat !
orm which opposed the adoption of I
constitution which the radicals in
ongress had proposed as ia condition {
recedent to our readmissiou to the
Union. When their pet scheme
vas thus defeated, the president
ent General AdeIbert Ames with a ]
efficient military force and Gov
rnor Humphreys was forcibly e.
ected first from the executive Office
nd, later, with his family from the
.overner's mansion. These were
he darkest days In our history.
The governor whom the people
lected by their suffrages was put
ut at the pointof the bayonet, and
brave and proud people, who for /,
our years had fought as men had
lever fought before, were now to be {
'ound hand aud foot and subjected
o the unspeakable humiliation of
construction and negro domina- |
ion. In that trying ordeal, Gen.
raj Humphreys bore himself as a
dississippian, as patriot, as a
nan, and as Mississsippians, proud
{ ouT birthright we offer this trib-
lie to his memory on this, the Il
entennial anniversary of his birth. q

THE LIEN Law

1t appears TO be a toregore
conclusion that the lien law will
be repealed at the present session
ot the legislature. If the law is
responsible for everything charg-
ed against 1.-THE Generalization
of labor, the announcement OF
eXtravagance, the impoverish-
ment OF farmers and the deJerio-
ration of their lands. and so on
it ought to be killed, but is it
we doubt if.
There io no question about the
fact that the law is oftentimez
abused, that in many instances
undue advantage IS taken Of those
who are dependent upon the lien
for a basis of credit, but it does
not necessarily follow that such
practices are general. An
impartial history of the laws
operations in the state would pro-
badly show that hundreds of poor
farmers in each county, white
as we'll as black, by dealing with
honest merchants and bankers,
have prospered and are continu.

The names of some of Lancas.
ter's streets have no significance
whatever, local or.otherwise, such
as Market, French, Broad and
Arch, for example. There is 70
market on Market street, never
has been and none likely to be.
There is nothing 'Trenchy"
about French str eet. No French
people live On it, or have ever
done so. Broad Astreet ia no
wider than any other. And If
there is any arch in Arch street
we have never seen it. Why not
discard these and other meaning
less names and substitute in
their stead something possessing
both signiication and appropri.
ateness? And now is a good
time to suggest that we return
the compliments paid us by our
sister towns that have "Lancas-
er Avenues" At all events our
street nomenclature needs over
hauling.

dent farms, unless some other
method of using the crop as a
means of credit should be resort
ed TO.
Will the repeal of the law rem
edy the evils complained OF
That, it occurs to us, is the par
amount question which the leg
islature should consider. Will
it make labor conditions better,
will it prevent high credit prices,
and will it promote the farming
interests Of the country general
ly? Let us see.
Labor is already scarce, and
there is danger of its becoming
more so with the lien law out of
the way. The white farmer who
now rents land and gets his Ter
ilizer and supplies from a mer-
chant under a lien, or with
money borrowed on the strength
of lien given on his crop, will
not likely surrender his indepen
dent mode OF living and hire him
self to his landlord for wages
It is more likely that he and his
family will move TO one of the
many cotton mills In the state
that are ready and eager TO Sc
cure their services, and where
they will find profitable employ
ment. The colored renter, long
accustomed to being his own boss,
will scarcely be content to accept
farm wages in this state, when
he can move over into North
Carolina or Georgia and rent all
the land he can work, or when
he can go to the railroads, power
plants, oil mills and other public
works and obtain higher wages
than a landlord can afford to pay
him
But suppose the landlord is
able TO induce his renters or lien
ors to accept service under him
as ordinary field hands-will he
be any better off than heis now?
How is he going TO secure the
payment in labor or otherwise of
the advances that he will be OBJ
liged to make ? 1t may be said
that the legislature is going
to enact a new contract law
one that will stand the test of
Jhe courts and that under such
law the landlord can "bind" his
laborers. But is it possible for
the legislature to pass law that
will prove effective p The only
law that would amount to anv.
thing so far as the negro is con-
cerned is one providing for i'm
prisonment for breach ofcontract,
and such an act, ike the Old one.
would be unconstitutional.
Again. if the landlord. instead
of utilizing his present renters or
lienors as wage hands, continues
to rent his lands TO them, how,
in the absence OF the lien law, is
he going to secure payment for
his advances Will he not as
sumo risks that he has never as
sumed before ! And in order TO
make such advances, will not
many q landlord be forced TO
his lands Z?
