MEMOBIAL TO MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATES 3.
Hon. W. A. Percy, on part of the Missis
sippi delegation prepared, and Hon. W. YY.
Stone offered the following:
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representat.vei of the Legislature of
the State or Mississippi:
The undersigned Committee represent
ing the members of the Cotton Planters'
Association from the State of Mississippi,
and acting in this body, respectfully
memoralize yonr humble bodies as follows:
The World s Industrial and Uotton' Cen
tennial Exposition to be held in New Or
leans in 1884-'S5 will be the culmina
tion of that sentiment awakened through
out the South in recent years, which
found expression in the Atlantic, Louis
ville and similar Expositions and through
which, if continued, prosperity and devel
opments the New South is to be attained
by the co-operated effort of our own peo
ple and the exhibition to the world in at
tractive form and under unfavorable aus
pices the visible, tangible evidence of the
fertility of our sou, the weaitn or our
mines and the salubrity of our climate.
The importance of this exhibition can
hardly be over-estimated to those States
which shall properly avail themselves of
b opportunity offered by presenting to
the view of all nations and all people tbor-;
oujrhly prepared and carefully arranged
exhibits of each and all of their resource
and products. To such a shall dem
onstrate their boumlle.-s wealth only i
awaiting population and capital to be
called into being, this Exposition will form
beneficent creation. Such is the convic
tion of your memorialists, and feeling thus
we desiru to see Mississippi take that place
in the World's Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition to which she is entitled
by virtue of her rank among the cotton
producing States, the variety and richness
of the products, the euergy, intelligence
and patriotism of her people. She can
only do this by filling the place allotted to
her in the Exposition with an exhibit of
everything Within her borders, which now
contributes to the comfort and wealth of
man, or which by development can be
made to do so, an exhibit so carefully and
thoroughly prepared and placed before the
world as to challenge the admiration of all
and prove a source of pride and gratifica
tion to our own people. To this end a lib
eral and generous appropriation upon the
part of the State is ueccessary. Your mf
morialists therefore, respectfully ask, and
nrge npon your honorable bodies that in
the best interest of our common State, at
an early day of your session you do appro
priate the sum of $50,000 to be expended
by such agents and under such limitations
as you may see fit to designate, for the
purpose theoin indicated.
Respectfully,
The Mississippi Delegation.
Whereupon it was
Hesolrrd, That the memorial of the Mis
sissippi members of this Association to the
Mississippi legislature be, and is hereby
heartily endorsed and jointed iu by this
Association, and that the Secretary of this
Association is hereby instructed to forward
to the President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House of the next Legislature of

New wants are constantly growing out of
a higher and better civilization, and ourj
currency system should keep pace with
these wants, and not be bound and shackled
to barbarous and false theories which neu
tralize the -possible benefits of invention
and discovery. Our currency system should
be absolutely just to all, and fully adapted
to the in lust rial demands of the people.

is this rarely fails but how few sadly 1
wy it, how few there are of tluse valinni
ipirits Women have naturally little cot.
ideuce in their capacities for earning a

heir ignorance of the work required oi
hem We women of Mississippi appeal
then to the legislature of 1S4 to lend a
laud and help us out of this slough ol
gnoranee and despondency, dive us
chool where women can be educated for
eat'hers where they enn l taught all tl e
ighter trade and professions and do wt
isk too much lien we include some of the
arts!
In all these women have achieved sue
esses. Are you men of Mississippi, am)
mve you souls that can say us nay when
re ask to be enabled to earn our daily
read? Some men will say let women stay
it home and be depeudeiit upon their fa
lters brothers or lmsbauds. This is very
veil if all are so fortunate i.s to have these
relatives or protectors but what is to be-
xme of the girl that has neither? Do you
.now how many of the delicate, refined
Cornell of your State are wearing their
ives out over the machine, earning the
iierest pittance f Have any of you ever

k'heir arduous labors often remunerated
vith paltry warrants that many of their

I know of one high spirited public

Hind) County Finances.
KXFLY TO O. W. n., I I r ATSOND OAZITTB.
Hinds county owes a debt of 1 100,000,
duo in 1885. This debt uccumulittcd during
the reconstruction period, any from 1805 to
1872, and was funded in 1X73 into 8 per
cent bonds These bonds originally
amounted to nearly $200,000, and tho war
rants for which they Issued had been bought
at an average price of about 1'5 cents on
the dollar. G. W. II. can perhnps inform
ns who some of tho fortunate purchasers
were. But the county funded them at par
without quibbling a'tout speculators; an
honorable adjustment of tho debt forbade
any other course.
In 18a0, the county was asked to take
stock to the amount of $200,000 in the N.,
J. i C. R. Kn which she did, and issued her
7 per cent iion-tiunble bonds, due one-half
in ten and ona-balf in fifteen years, for
same. The assumption of this debt was
vigorously opposed by the larger tax-paying
class, but they were lurgcly outvoted,
and, if (i. W. U. and Geo. W . Harper are
one and the same person, he of all men in
the country is the most responsible for the
assnmptiod of the debt.
W'it'.iin the last ten years several
thiues h"ve conspired to place yet
another debt on tie cnnty. The school
fund got behind, and, nnder thi decision
Inst year of t ie 8 ipreme C on -', the school
trfaclier'e certific ites isned f'r the yesrs
I8H0,-'8I and 182, an 1 still unpaid, wers left
without remedy. The fault can be traced
to no tne person orc'ass. Mi l Last of all
to the holders of the certificates They
are held by teao'iers and by those whom
G. W. H. is pleaded to call "speculators."
This floating debt is about $70,000 or $75,
000. Thus much for the debt Now for G.
W. H's tirade against speculators his
''thundering boom" against any more bonds
and his "popular method of paying the
debt
The bill framed and in the binds of the
Committee was notgotten up in the inter
est of speculators but for the benefit of the
holders of the certificates and pre-eminently
for the benefit of teachers It was a
proposition from a creditor to a debtor
for compounding an indebtedness and pro
Tiding for its payment So far from being
the doings of speculators the . retiring
Board of Supervisors bav memorialized
the Legislature to have the dtibt funded;
many of the teachers have duue likewise,
but no purchaser of certificate "specula
tor" if you please has signed such a docu
ment. As to the tax-payers, many have

been consulted and almost as a unit favor
the bill.
The "thundering boom" against ant
more bonds bus not yet reached this part of
the county. We aro in favor of an econom
ical administration and n reduction of
eipeuse, but any attempt at retrenchment
by repudiating an honest debt will be met
with the sturdy resistance that honor de
mands. No one (piestions the justice of
tho obligation. To whom was it made?
l'o sons nnd daughters ? Yes, lnrgely to
the daughters of Hinds, who, unfortunately,
hy the too vigorous rules of our Koutherr
society find tho school-room almost the
only escape from dependence. It shnmei
me that one of my countrymen should in
timate that tho "tax payers" should dictate
the terms of settlement with such a credi
tor. The "terms" should come from tin
holders of the certificates. They do no
ask for tho cash, but for a seven per cem
bond a bond worth not more than M) t
Hti rents on the dollar. Is It asking to.
much? Then they will l e far be tirpleasri
with the cash, which is but their Jus.
pne.
But O. W. H. proposes to abolish tl.i
publio schools until the indebtedness
liquidated. No more debt until the ol
one is paid! Stop the schools! Haiti Re
trench! "Nay, and thou hnst come here to mouth
I'll rant as well as thou."
Stop thu poor house! Stop bridge
building! Stop repairs on jails and oilier
county buildings! Stop thu court and ex
penses of the judiciary I Stop them I Stop
them until the school debt in paid ; until
the old bonds are paid; until the railroad
bonds are paid ; until we don't owe a dol
lar iu tl e world!
Such talk is folly of course it is. Then
let us leave it oil, and come like sober men
and consider this proposition of our credi
trr. It it is fair and good for the county
let us accept it ; if it is not, let us provide
for tho payment of the debt in cash. '
