ELECTION MIDDLE
Resulting from the November Election In
This State.
Laurel Ghaonicle.

Laurel Ghaonicle.
Secretary of State J. w. Power
and Attorney General Fletcher are
now wrestling with the most unique
problem that has yet resulted from
the November electionlin this state.
In one of the supervisors districts
in Greene county theresare only two
polling precincts. State Line and
Avera. L. G. Peaster was the party
nominee for supervisor in that pre-
CT act, getting a majority at the sum-
mer primaries. At the November E.
lection Avera precinct failed to hold
an election. At State Line an cleo
ton was held, and eleven votes cast
for Mr. Peaster, but the returns
were not forwarded to the County
Board of Election Commissioners in
time to be counted, and no. result
was declared, F
When it was ascertlihed, however,
that Mr.. Peaster was about to lose
his Office, a special meeting of the
County Board of Election Commits
sioners was held and a supplemental
report forwarded to Secretary OF
State Power Announcing the election
of Mr.. Peaster.s
ThesState Board of Election Com
missioners declined to recognize this
report on the ground that it did not
arrive within, the legal limit The
present supervisor from that district
is Mr.. A. r. Clark, who was not a
candidate at the November election,
but who has written a. letter to the
State Board of Election Commission
ers demanding the right to hold over
for four year term. +
1t is certain that Mr.. Clark has the
right to hold until his successor is
elected aud qualified, and the Attor-
ney General has SO advised. The nee
essary procedure to get him out of
Office will be for the Board of Super
visors to declare vacancy from that
district and order special election.

ADJUSTMENT INDICATED.


The tough spell through which the
countryis now Struggling, but more
strongly emphasizes the necessity Of
the denizens- of this timber belt turn
ing to agricultural pursuits SO as to
anticipate the desolate conditions
that would prevail after the timber is
gone, weren' t some rel liable indus
tries fostered to take the place of the
-several-iivehhoeds-- afforded.
The class of citizens who today are
least feeling the pinch of the present
commercial and financial paralysis,
are the farming folks, whether of the
cotton section or here at home, The
fellows that tickle the face ofDld
Mother Earth get as b reward for
their labours products that are essen
tial to the worlds sustenance; some
thing to eat and wear: the >tonsurnp-
tion and demand for which can not be
made dependent upon flush conditions
as is the marketing of lumber, which
rests upon constructiongor building,
and this ofconrse work back to pros
perity, for capital does not seek to ex-
pend itself in this matter unless times
are flush. The farmer can house his
cotton and hold it till the actual cash
is forked over for its release same
with the corn aisers, the pea patch
man can bank his taters 'putshis peas
and shelled corn in the crib meat in
the smeke-house, .molasses in the
barrel, and 1--we al hbme, getting
pin-money by occasional,sales of his

duct to the friendly lstoEekeeper who

the knitted sock fellow, as, be near

tucked down in its long toe. We
are pleased to note some gravita-
lions this way in thisScounty even
now, but there should he more.

Presiding Elder Qouted.

Meridian Star Jany. 9Th.
It is like getting back to my
own" said the Rev. DR.. W. L. Black,
the new presiding elder of the
Meridian Methodist circuit, as he sat
In the district Methodist parsonage
last night surrounded by his wife
and daughters. Ispent four of the
pIeasantest years of my life in pasto-
rial work in Meridian, . he, added
with reflective tone of voice.
Il was pastor of the Central
Methodist church of this city during
the years of 1885-6-7-8, four years
and during that time / slabored hard
and feel that the Lord abundantly
blessed my labors. The present
church building of the Central con-
gregation was built during the
first year of my pastorate. It was
completed in less than a year after
work was begun on the structure.
DR.. Black was asked where he had
served in the pasterate since leaving
Meridian. I was pastor at Jackson
for seven years after leaving Meridian
and for some time I was in the same
kind of work in Hattiesburg. | was
all the while working as best could
in theefieId of the Master in Miss
issippi, and as a rule / have been
most happy in SO doing.
This is DIR. Black S first year as
presiding elder. He is so familiar
with all branches of church work,
however that he is at home. He
says he.expects to enjoy the larger
official sphere of work in. his church
to which he has been assigned.
II hope that we shall continue to
improve in heath, that may soon
get comfortably located in our new
home and | may formally begin my
church work in very short time

valuable time. Many foolish meas
ures will sleep their last sleep in
committee, but some of more
plausible aspect, in the hurry of the
last days may manage to worm
through, that ought to suffer like
fate. Few new laws are demanded.
The most vital Of our needs in this
respect will go, as usual unenacted.
The supreme need of the State is d
better enforcement of the laws al

Statutory prohibition REFUSES
alertness on the part of the people to
prevent the election of Legislature
that would repeal the law. This
brings about healthy public senti-
ment, which while it protects the
law, looks to it's enforcement also.
Constitutional prohibition gives
feeling of safety, and the enforcement
is not looked after as it should be.
| prefer constitutional prohibition,
and we can ask tie next legislature
for statutory prohibition and submit
a constitutional amendment to be
voted on later, we must never let up
on the agitation because we are
constantly receiving emigration and
young men are becoming of legal age,
and always elect men that will en-
force the law and brethren, give
moral backing to the officers.

What we license, we protect; what
we license we wrap the flag of the
country around and make it legit-
innate branch of business, and in the
legaIized aspect of the traffic lies it's
powers. What does Gods Word say
about it? What does it say about
licensed wrong? If Isaiah had seem
the license system of the United
States as it is now. He could not
have better expressed it than he has,
Woe unto him that justifieth the
wicked for reward" The license
system takes the money from these
men who are dealing out liquid death
Tor government revenue, and thus
makes it legitimate branch of
business and God says, Woe" /;
find every phrase of the subject of {
this work in the Bible. God has
welded the gospel and the temper

joined together let no man put
asunder. The first prohibitory
liquor law was passed up in the
congress of heaven, and it was not
submitted to the people, it never had
to be renodeled, and it never will be
repealed, and then the awful iniquity
of taking revenue from the liquor
traffic and putting it in the till of

The dissertation of Christmas by
drunkenness is enough by itself, if
there were no other arguments to
offer, to make any Christian a proEi-
bitlonist. The trains are loaded
with jugs of liquor, and some of the
coaches are pandemonium of mand-
lin boys and men. 1t must be a
most consoling reflection to the cities
that on these special occasions they
send out into prohibition territory
such instructive evidence of their
civilization and progress!
