SIGJIFICANT. P
pu'
The Republican papers have ob- and
served a marked and stubborn silence dos
with regard to the recent serious de- eve
fections from their ranks. Such sho
prominent brainy men as ex-U. S. wat
Attorney Generad Wayne McVeigh, and
ex-Postimas ter General Judge Gresh- pov
am, Judge Cooley, Judge Columbus and
B. Harrod of Indiana, and several duo
others who have during the past de- be
cade filled such large space in the or 4
councils of the Republican party, J.
leaving and seperating away from no
the political affiliations of so many alo
long years, cannot well be passed ing
over in silence by their old associ- the
ates. Some explanation is due to fer
the inquiring masses; but not a tio
word has thus far been uttered. pr
The men we have named, belong the
th(
to the profound thinkers of this fig
generation and have been so regard- W
ed and esteemed by all those who Fo
direfully observe the drift of cur
rent events, even among those who
differed with them in political bias Ou
and faith. They are men whose in- x1
tellectual endowments and extended I
.equirements have placed them far
above the ordinary plane as leaders so
of the people; men whose every ac- Tb
tion is governed by sound judgment
and calm careful thought.
Professional politicians often
ohange sides, or flop over, as the
slang term has it, but neither of the
individuals we have named can by 1
the wildest stretch of imagination of
be styled a politician, hence the lit
change of such men at this juncthre oc
from one side to the other, has far st
more than ordinary significance. N
It is but natural that the Republi- ty
can leaders, not being able to explain v
away the causes that led such promi- T
nent members of the party to leave C,
its ranks, should endeavor by their ý
persistent silence to ignore the im- T
portance of the defection. But
the high positions these men individ- t
nally occupy as model American 0
citizens, and their world-wide repu
tations as learned and profound
thinkers, will batiePall such trifling
and prove it worse than folly. tl
The unthinking mases are often
swayed to and fro by the persuasive
power of eloquent orators witht
"thoughts that breathe and words e
that burn" they change sides and
swop over, while hlittle or no notice c
"is taken of them, but when such men t
as MocVeigh, Gresham, Cooley, Har- 4
red and many others, ID GEelUS(
oa-,c face about after such a fashion
as they have done on the eve of an
important election, itsurely means
more than somethiug ordinary.

ly put it down as follows: i
My interpretation of the so-called
Force bill is this:
rn 1. That the Republicans are too
amake the bill a law.
re 2. That a Republican President
xt is to appoint Republican Super
ict visors.
y? 3. That these Republican Super
e visors are to appoint Republican In- C

no visors and Inspectors shall have full i
ian power to determine who shall vote
the and who shall not vote.
5. That their decisions shall be
se, enforced, if necessary, by the army

The Weelte Wrd tr xsnm-a f3osamtt
tee had a pleasant meeting at the ap
pointed hour on Tuesda the 11h in
stant, at the residence of Mrs. V. M.
Purity. Mrs. Pardy presided and Mis'
Mary Motgomery acted as secretary.
Various fields of work for the oem-,
mittee was mapped out, and it was de
cided that at the next meeting sub
comumtteets would be appointed for
varios parpoes amnog wieh to eol
leot statisies of the parish, which
should inm der y wvofx ooten, bay,
cereals, etc. 'It- etio resolved that
one of our home artists should be re
tyurttTaJWl~·ieflattalkI of
the beseg~ful ate r oeery,." te river
Ac.. &c. A committee on needle
work will ~ai be app tted. It was
the sense of thismeetiag that some of
our enterprfiag planters would sup
ply the commaittee with suMcient cot
ton in the seed to make a merchant
able bale for eahlibtion, and on that
subject the omtaonsion was apparently -e
reached that instead of passing the
cotton through a gin, it should be
picked fromt the gneti by haid, the
ladies to perform she labor of fioking,
with the aid of the youg gent n o of
the parish, and that ýatn pickinag -
party's weouald be given at ditaltfi'e n
residences at which a regular ,'oorn
shuckin' " party woul4 be gathered,
and that while striving for the useful
and ornamtental a good deal of fun
may be experienced by the young peo
ple, enough to render East CarroU's
Columbian Fair movenment memorable
in the future history'
Should the weather be propitious it
is believed a full attendance of the
r committee will be observed at the next
meeting, which will be held at the
residence of Mrs. J. M. Kennedy on
Tuesday next the 18th lost. at 11
Knowing the great interest your ap
prectated paper takes in all that tends
to the welfare of our parish, it was
unaninously resolved that a copy of the
minutes of the meeting should be
,s ofibred you for publication.
MARY W. MONTGOMERY.
Secretary.

the bale of cotton will be wrapped in

Mr. Editor :-We closed a very in
. terestlig prbtracted meeting its this
x. town at the Methodist Church on Siun
s. day night the td lanst. It was my pur
L pase to furnish you with a boi coIn
ao.ujitcation on this subject for yor last
Swe'ks lfue, but continued visitation
on the bick among my parishioners in
and out of town prevented my :gPing
so. Dr. Innihan W. Cooper of Ilazle
burst, Miss., assisted me during the
m- eeting and did all the prcqchiug with
the exceptiou o.f oe sermon preached
by Rev.Jobu W. Critter of Maversville,
N Miss. Dr. Cooper preached a series of
excellent sermons, which made a deep,
a. and we trust, lasting impression en all
of who heard them. His eermtons were
k noted for purity ofdietion,deep pathos
j and were emineulty practcaL. The
or congregation and interest increased
fid Irom the begtinlg to the elome of the
b meeting. Quites large number resolv
ed to lead a better Ilif, and many
pledged rethewed consecration to the
service of Glod. There were six addi
tions, to thl mimbership, and .thers
wh6 were sick dritng the last days of
_the t neeling arI be received later.
We have received into the Chbreh
seventeen during the current year. ' So
we review the work, of the pat year
al, an the labors and results of oar late
meeting we can veCy hopefully look
forward to the future.
