GRATIS IN FIRST AND SECOND.
CHARGE ILLEGAL NEGRO VOTES

Il Matter is Carried to Congress.

Oklahoma City, OKLA, Nov. TO-
Alleging that illegal negro Votes
we're cast in both the first and
seond congressional districts, which
fact caused the face of the returns
20 show the election of the repub-
iican candidates from these districts,
the state election board will prob
ably issue certificates of election
TO the democratic candidates for
congress in these districts and the
matter will then have to be foustt
out in congress. Considering the fact
that the next congress will be dem
ocratic, there is little doubt but that
oklahoma will send five democratic
congressman to Washington.
The present returns show the de
feat of N. L. McNeal, the democrat
ic candidate for congress In the
First district, by a majority of 1000
and I ehdefeat of +. l.. Fulton
democrat, in the Second, by approx
mately 1900. In both districts the
democrats charge gross Irregular
ties alleging that negroes We're al
lowed to vote whether qualified un-
der the grandfather amendment or
not.
The democratic state campa en-
commfLtee 'cfa!ms that had this
am mendnlent been enforced, both Full
ton and McNeal would have been
elected.
The democratic managers in Lin
coin, Blaine and Logan, all heavy ne
gro counties. have been called into
Oklahoma City, to confer with regard
to throwing out the negro votes.
In oklahoma County many negroes
voted and it Is probable that the
county organization will throw Out
their ballots.
AS reports from the state are re-
cevied, Honorable Lee Cruces ma
jority gains steadily and 1t is safely
estimated at o'clock today that his
plurality will be over 10000. Ofri-
cial returns are coming in slowly.
So far Bryan county Is the banner
democratic county, giving Cruce
majority of more than 1900 Late
returns show that Cruce carried Tex
as county by 13 votes, Cimarron by
100, Washington, which had been
conceded to McNeal, was carried by
Cruce by 33, and Adair, formerly
thought to be republican, was car
ried by the democrats by GO.
Pittsburg county has increased its
majority for Cruce to $50. Pontotoc
gives Cruce a majority OF over 1,1o0
and Pottawatomie majority or l53.

Die was had on election day, the ne

say thai the sermon last night Was
one of the most appropriate he ever
heard delivered at the beginning of
a conference. The sermon was based
upon the Fiftyf.rst Psalm, wherein
David makes confession OF his
great sin. The discourse was fun
Experiment suggestions showing pro-

religious vein; it was much appre-

No generous deed wipes out or compen-
safes for injustice. The pain caused by
such an act is felt for many years; the
memory of it can not be obliterated by
thousand generosities.
None is so poor that he cannot give that
which is wholesome and which should be
pleasing when he renders justice. 1t is
true we do not always know what justice
is when we invoke its blessings, as witness
Shylock who pleaded for that which, when
given, was his undoing. But he received
his due. A just man may be most gener-
GUS and charitable; he can not be selfish
or dishonest. A man generous and CHART"
able in some particulars may be selfish and
dishonest in others. The world would be
UNNECESSARILY happier, there would be
happier homes by the millions, fewer heart
burnings by the millions, if in the little
every day things we weighed our words
and measured our acts of omission and
commission, according to the standard OF
| instice

spike COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI

With the compliments of its author, Mr..
Luke Ward Conerly, the Times Democrat
has received an interesting volume OF his"
torical sketches and "reminiscences entitled
3" Pike County, Mississippi, 1798-l876.
In a brief introduction, Mr.. Conerly ex~
plains that his principal object was to COM
pile for preservation record complete and
accurate as possible, of the Confederate
soldiers of Pike County. Great part OF
the work is therefore devoted to sketches
and rosters of the various commands mus
tered in that county, with lists OF the en-
gagements in which they participated and
of their killed and wounded, and other
matter of absorbing interest to their sur
viving comrades and descendants. The
authors intimate knowledge of and almost
life long residence in the county OF which
he writes, his personal service with the
Confederate armies, and the enthusiasm
and patriotic industry with which he has
addressed himself to the task, have en-
abled him to gather and present many de-
tails hitherto unrecorded. Additionally,
the volume contains a summary of Pike
County's history from its earliest settle
ment, sketches of the pioneer families, of
the various settlements and plantations
and numerous tales and traditions handed
down from generation to generation.-Aew
Orleans Times Democrat.
In "Pike County, Mississippi, 1798-1876,"
we have work that commands attention
and wins appreciation. There is much
valuable material in this volume collected
from original sources. Mr.. Conerly has
done a splendid service not only to Mis-
sissippians, but to all of the Southern
States, in preserving in such excellent and
interesting form so much historical material
pertaining to pioneer days and the deeds
of valor Of Confederate soldiers-perform-
ing real service to recorded history and
to the history of Southern arms and South
ern manhood and womanhood-and his
book should have a wide sale.
Mr.. Conerly, who was member of the
Quitman Guards, Sixteenth Mississippi
Infantry, gives this description Of "the
closing scene" in Fort Gregg, Petersburg,
when, after exhausting their ammunition
and tearing down brick chimneys built tc
tents and throwing them at the enemy

JUSTICE.

Nav we not, without disparagement OF
the beautiful benevolences, the generosities
and charities that animate life, pay tribute
to a quality that is greater than the greatest
of hope, faith and charity; that is divine
rather than a human attribute, yet the
basis of our civilization? In the walks OF
life. the philanthropist-usually he who
gives from his great store-is saluted rev.
erently; the dispenser of gifts to the poor
if he lets his right hand know that which
his left does-is saluted with acclamations;
he who is generous with his friends-often
with a secret desire to place those friends
in his debts noted far and wide for his
virtue. Besides the popular recognition
given those with open hands, few of them
neglect, at least secretly, to commend
themselves; it gives them comfort-per-
haps even little more latitude in ways they
are inclined TOTO believe that "charity
covereth multitude of sins.'
But where do we find the spirit of Justice
fittingy enthroned in the hearts and minds
of men: where do we find him who in all
relations has earned the distinction, "a
just man," given the exalted place in the
esteem of his fellows to which he is en-
titled? Where, indeed, is the virtue OF
business as exercised between man and
man accorded the prominent position to
which it is entitled; where is that virtue,
so seldom exhibited in perfectness, fully
appreciated? Yet none may approach the
higher standard of humanity without pos
sessing and exercising to wide degree the
spirit of business; and he who is ''just" is
nearer perfect than he who, lacking justice,
displays all other virtues.
In the popular acceptation of the defini-
milton, justice and severity, or justice and
hardness are mentally associated; justice
and loving kindness, justice and liberality
are considered incompatible. But how
wrong is such conception! God is just
The law by which the millions of compo-
nents of the universe act in harmony is
dependent on justice. The laws of nature
on our globe inviolably conform to justice,
There is no higher power, no greater vir-
tue.
What tasks must the devotee of justice
perform? In general, he will render unto
Caesar the things that are CBsar's, and
unto God the things that are Gods. He
will give each man his due and in render
ing that due will have as guide to the right,
as guard against selfishness, the Golden
Rule. While charity may cover multi
tude of sins committed, justice precludes
the commission of those sins. With justice
universal there would be little field for the
exercise of charity; there would be nc
victims of injustice. The just man does
not, of course, fitch his neighbours purse
nor does he steal his reputation; he is dumb
to SANDER and deaf to scandal. In every
day social and business life the just mar
gives his fellows their due. AS he will mo-
withhold from them money that is theil
due or possess himself of money that il
theirs he will not withhold from them recog'
nitioa for their deeds, nor appropriate tt
him. e'f any praise or credit which is theirs

Lo Hung or borne at his side by two

suited in the overthrow and death of
