Sudden Death Of ". B. Allen.

The community was shocked
late Wednesday by the announce
ment of the sudden death of w.
B. Allen near his home at Union
Hall. 1t seems that late in the
afternoon Mr.. Allen was our in
the woods with his neighbor,
Geo. Smith, saving cross ties or
wood with a cross-cut saw and
stopped to take a drink of water,
when death suddenly struck him
and BY the time his companion
reached his side and laid him
down gently on the ground, he
expired. 1t is stated be attempt
ed to speak as he was sinking, but
was unable to do so. The cause
of death is ascribed to heart dis
ease. though the attack was
probably superinduced by the in
tense heat.
The funeral took place at Union
Hall Thursday afternoon, Rev. r..
II. Purser officiating. Deceased
leaves a wife and five small chill
dren, the oldest being Is. The
tenderest sympathy is felt for
these stricken ones in their sud
den bereavement.

Some Interesting Correspondence With
a Local Cast.

The following interesting cor
respondence, which, in Lincoln
county, sounds familiarly like an
echo from nearly 25 years ago,
explhins itself:
Spring Creek, La, July Is, 1908.
Clerk Circuit Court, BrookhaVen,
Miss,
Dear Sir:-I herewith enclose
clipping from Covingtun News,
published at Covington, La,
written by John E. Penn, Brook
haven, Miss.
Now, we want facts in this case,
as we are going to fight the sa-
looms to finish, and | hope you
will give me a few minutes of
your time and give ME the true
situation. You can see by Mr..
PENIS article that he does not
respect any officer at all. So if
you can spare me few minutes,
please write me at your earliest
convenience.
Please show this clipping to the
sheriff of your county and when
you write me get his endorsement
and each of you give me the priv
ilege of quoting for publication
from your letter.
Yours truly,
|. E CORKERN.

KERN WELCOMED HOME.
FIattering Ovation by Home People.
Vice-PreSident introduces

indianapolis, Ind, July 10.
The reception given John w.
Kern, the newly nominated Dem
ocratic candidate for vice .presi-
dent, held in the court house yard
at $3.50 O'Clock tonight was as
hearty and generous and spontan-
eous as the citizens Of Indianapo-
lis, regardless of politics, could
make it.
Fully 5000 people gathered in
Delaware street and in the court
house yard gave Mr.. Kern a
hearty weI,come and cheered en-
Enthusiastically tonight. The newly
made candidate addressed the big
crowd for about twenty minutes
after being presented by Charles
w. Fairbanks, vice president of
the United States. -Four years
ago Mr.. Kern presented Mr..
Fairbanks to a big non partisan
gathering under similar circum-
stances. The crowd which receiv-
ed Mr.. Kern was in cheering
mood. It cheered Mrs. Kern and
VIM. Kern and John w. Kern,
Jr., when they came on the stand.
Republicans applauded as loud
| ly as the Democrats.

Noel at Denver.

Gov. Noel, who has just return
ed from the Denver convention,
relates a circumstance which oc-
Cured there during the night of
the nomination of Bryan which
indicates that there are some en-
terprising journalists there.
The Governor, who was a mem
Der of the platform committee,
quartered some distance from the
convention hall, was surprised
that, while the committee was
wrangling over some knotty prob
lens in the platform, copies of an
extra" edition of one of the local
papers were broughtin with head
lines all the way across the page
announcing that Bryan had been
nominated on the first ballot that
while the balIoting bad not been
concluded, the Nebraskan had all
ready received more than the
necessary two-thirds majority.
The committee proceeded with
its work, however, finishing in
time to reach the convention hall
before the balIoting actually com
menced. The extra had been
distributed in the committee room
at 1:1O p. m, and the nomination
was actually made at $40 a, M,
more than two hours later.
Gov. Noel denies that Mr.. Bry-
an dominated the pIatfrom COM
mittee, as has been published. lie
SAYS that Mr.. Bryan's advice was
asked in connection with several
features. and frankly and freely
given, but that with The exception

would like to reverse his PROPOSE
ton, and say to all who are oppos-
ed to prohibition, and not inter-
ested in the sale of liquor, to visit
Mississippi and investigate condi-
tions. / believe if they would
visit the dry counties, and be can
did in their Investigations that
they would need no further argu-
ment to make them prohibition
lists. We have the bind tiger"

man or some negro that is too
tritiing to work. / have been
Clerk of the Circuit Court for
more than 10 years, and | know
whereof | speak when / say that
prohibition does prohibit to an ex-
tent very gratifying to its advo-
Gates, and that the blind tigers,
especially of this county, is suress
ly learning that the way of the
transgressor is hard.
At the May term of our court
three white men were convicted
of unlawful retailing, one of them
in six cases. Imprisonment ag-
gregating 420 days and fines
amounting to so, 200 were impos-
ed. In the other two cases fines
of $500 and 80 days were imposed,
and two of the convicts are now
doing time on the county farm.
A few negroes were convicted
also and are now serving senten-
ces on the county farm. 1t is the
general opinion that if it were not
for the backing given by white
men, that the negro blind tiger
could not exist here at all.
Lincoln county, Mississippi, is
and has been for more than 20
years a prohibition county, and so
strong has the prohibition senti
ment grown that not even the
strongest advocates of the open
saloon would presume to petition
for an election, even If the recent
State law had not been enacted.
Now for a comparison. | visit
ed Natchez last Saturday, and l
am free to say that [ saw more
intoxicated men there on that day
than | lave seen in Brookhaven
in a year. Natchez is a saloon
town, and will be until the 31st of
December. | teer sure that one
years absence in that city of the
saloons will make more prohibi-
tionisLs in Adams county than five
years of campaigning. Of course
any one who advocates prohibition
is, in Mr.. Penn's opinion, a fanat-
ic, yet | notice when Mr.. Penn
visits BrookhaVen, as he often
does, that he can frequently be
seen in the company of the
fanatics. !" Mr.. Penn, in his 2.
s. says, j can safely say there

The Penn Letter.
Editor Coyington News:

Editor COvlngton News:
Brookhaven, Miss, July o.
The subject of prohibition seems
to have gutten into the minds of a
few citizens of st. Tammany par
ish-I dare say only a few. Is it
possible these gentlemen who are
agitating this question are posted
as TO the result of prohibitions |
am Afraid they have never travel
ed in any prohibition territory, or
they never would agitate such a
thing. 1t is a failure all over the
country; it does not prohibit, it
only breeds "blind tigers' by the
score in every town or parish,
who deal out all kinds of cheap
and vile liquors at fabulous
price.
Some of these "blind tiger"
men take out United States IL
cense-they seem to fear Uncle
Sam, but they don't care a snap
for the parish or town courts;
they seem to stand in, with the
officers. Once in great while
these officers will pull a negro
"blind tiger" and let the white
man who is running a gigantic
blind tiger" continue. The sup
position is these officers get
rake of" from the business.
Now that is what prohibition does
wherever it has been tried: can't
be disputed.
These gentlemen who are the
prime movers and who are aduo,
eating prohibition should make a
trip into the State of Mississippi
and investigate the conditions.
| think it would satisfy these gen.
tIemen on the subject of prohibit
ton. Whisky and bottled beer
can be purchased in most any
town or county in Mississippi
from "blind tigers. | think
these gentlemen we're they to
make the trip would return to st.
Tammany parish disgusted with
prohibition.
High license is the only solu-
tion of the whisky question. It
does away with the low down
dives where all the thieves, muir
derers and loafers hang out; the
saloons who pay the high license
will be operated on higher plane
mo minors or loafers will be all
lowed around these saloons.
hope the conservative people
of st. Tammany parish will weigh
1.-THE question carefully. Don't
allow the fanatics to pull the wool
over your eyes. Tell these gentle
men who pose as lnoralists and
who are advocating prohibition
that it is a rank failure every
where. Yours,
JOHN e. PENN.
