Local Option Again.
We showed in an article last
, week the intent and scope ot the Lo '
cal Option Law advocated by Pro i
; hihiimnist*, nnd that is was not in- j
;tended to repeal any of the restric '
i ti\(• features of the present State |
Liquor Law, In the event of a conn-1
; tv tailing to vote the liquor traffic,
! root and bianch, out of its bounds.
There will hardly be any one who,
I on sober leflectisff, will find fault
with the measure on this account.
! Let it be borne in mind that all
i legislation on the liquor traffic in
| this and other Slates proceeds at the
i outset on the assumption that it is \
| an evil to be endured nnd regulated
j in the best manner possible, not a
! business to be fostered and encour- j
aged as other businesses are. This :
is forcibly illustrated in the prerent i
State law, which liquor men are just
| now so loudly shouting “is good
enough.” It requires the applicant
for license to pay a heavy privilege
tax, as a sort ol fine in advance for
the evil he is sure to inflict upon the
community; forbids his selling on
election days, or to drunkards,
j minors nnd Indians; makes a debt
! for liquor uncollectable at law, and
requires him to give a #2,000 bond
j to observe all oi these requirements,
j besides holding him criminally
amenable, and making it the duty
I of the Board granting license to re
voke it at any time its conditions
! are not complied with.
I.oc-al Option is intended to save
the liquor man all this expense,
risk and worry, and the people from
a gnat deal more, by taking from
j hint the light to circulate n petition
> for license, ft is perfectly right and
I just for the people of a w hole county
j to vote liquor out, even if a majority
! in some beat or town is opposed to
j it, because its evils affect directly or
! remotely, every citizen of the coun
ty. A man is killed in a drunken
1 row as a result of whisky sold in a
Brookhaven saloon, and the expense
of the trial of bis slayer costs the
tax payers of the county several
1 hundreds of dollars. This does not
j come alone out of the pockets of the
tax payers of Brookhaven or beat 1
i—if so, it would be different—but
must be borne equally by the tax
payers ol every other beat in the
! county. The same when a drunkard
| is run over ami killed by llie cars
! and the county lias to pay llie corn
1 nor and jury lor holding an inquest,
and of paupers who find their way
* to tin poor house on account <>f liquor,
i directly or indirectly, aril have to
be sup|K>rted at the expense of every
tax-payer in the county. '1 h-re's the
i rub. Then again, as Judge C'hris
! man so aptly put it in his speech be
l fore the State Prohibition Conven
j lion, a few men in a little town
! haven't the right to set up a grog
! gery for their own gratification and
profit, to ‘fly-blow” the morals ol
J all the surrounding country, which
one whisky saloon will do. All this.
I to say nothing of the demoralization
| to labor and the idleness caused.
State Prohibition would be better,
I but until we can secure that, let
j each county deckle the question for
| herself. It is county taxation after
all. that is the most burdensome. In
! Lincoln we pay fifteen dollar* on the
thousand for county purposes, and
only tw o and a half for State.
Yes, we ask for Local Option. Il
such a law is passed and a county
fails to go for Prohibition, the peo
! pie of the several beats and incor
porated towns will still have the
j present law to fall back upon—
i which is better than nothing—and
j they can still fight the monster
1 iniquity ol the Age with counter
j petitions, and in that way curtail
| the evil.

Tho Jackaoti Postdffloe.
There is a great deal of dissatis
faction and bad feeling about the
settlement of the Jackson (XJStofllce
question, to which Congressman
Barksdale, Senator George and the
two leading contestants at the pri
mnry election and their friends are
all parties. The following will give
an idea of the attitude ol the matter
to-date:
Jackson, Mm., Sept. 11. 1885.
The undersigned, desirous of re
flecting the will of a majority of the
Democrats residing within the do
livery ol the Jackson Postoffice, in
the recommendation we designed
making to the President, lutd re
course to a primary election, and for
its conduct adopted rules and regu
lations which we deemed essential.
Among them was the following :
‘•Iu case a single vote is cast not
•‘authorize*! by the conditions pre
“scribed for said election, we should
“regard it as a nullity.”
Upon an examination of the pa
pers submitted to 11s by Messrs. J
\V. Clinqan and (_ nESTEK P. Bulk
ley, we have found.
That said rule was violated by the
casting of a number of improper
I votes, notwithstanding the care ex
j ercised by the managers, and this
1 violation is declared and shown iu
1 the papers submitted by both par
| ties.
In accordance with the conditions
j prescribed for said election, and be
j cause of their violation, we have de
cided that said election is of no
binding force; and especially so,
since it appears from the allegations
of both parties that many improper
voles were ea»iN making it doubtful
as to who is the real choice of the
Democrats properly voting at said
election.
The election having failed, it be
came our duty to make a recommen
dation, which we have done. The
conclusion we hare reached, after
due deliberation, is not the result of
j compromise or concession on the
I part of either, but is the best judg
ment of each as to w hat is proper to
be done tinder the circumstances.
J Z Geokoe,
E. Barksdale.
i After reaching the above conclu
j sion Messrs. Barksdale and George
I decided to recommend tor the posi
I lion Gen. Wirt Adams.
CARD FROM MR. BU.Kl.EY.
|
As one of the candidates, and, too,
1 the successful candidate iu the race
for l’ostmaster at Jackson, it be
j comes me to make the following
! statement, showing the true state of
the affair:
The race was instituted by Messrs.
I George and Barksdale, held by their
i order, and their terms under their
rules, presided over and controlled
by their judges, and in all respects
controlled bv them. In the first
race I led the poll, under their own
rule®. A second was ordered. 1
; again led the poll. Mv opponent
| Mr. Clingan, was not suti-tied and
| instituted a contest, filed his protest,
and amended protest; totbis I made
a partial re; ly, and waited his ue
i lion. He tO"k none.
Messrs. George any Bark-dale
wrote to us (’the coine-laut and rnv
1 self; a note, setting out in substance
j that one day's notice of the time
■and place of testimony must he
j given; that the testimony must be
iiarrative, and the witness liable to
| cross-examination and that the ev
1 idence he submitted ou the first of
1 September.”
I stood on my right as prima
facie elected, summoned no
| witnesses, took no further steps
I in the matter. Mr. Clingan had in
siiiuted a contest; he was in the af
. Urinative, and bound to prove his
! allegation; this he did not even at
tempt to do, but lost his day in
court; I having the prima facie case
jin my favor look no steps, and
Messrs. George and Barksria’e giv
ing as an excuse for so doing (for it
is no reason), say that both parties
charge hau l. What manner ol
reason is this they give for dis
j regarding the expressed will of their
constituents—expressed in a way.
at a time, under rtiles, and controlled
by judges, their own appointees?
They take for granted, and act upon
the proposition that .Mr. Clingan,
made in his own interest, and the
counter-statement of Bulkley, made
necessarily upon information, is true
while the return of the judges, as
well those by themselves appointed
as those chosen by the parties, is set
at naught and disregarded—made,
though it was, uuder the highest
and holiest pledge which man can
make man, their word and honor.
I made no attempt to prove ray
statements, which were made on
information : Mr. Clingan could
not, (or at least did not attempt to)
prove liis, and Messrs. George and
Barksdale’s act in a matter interest
ing to their constituents, and vital
to the parties, as though they had
proof before them. When before
did they or any one else ever bear
of the unsworn ex parte statement
of an interested party being held by
any tribunal to weigh, even as the
dust in the balance, against the ofli
cial acts of its officers by them ap
pointed, and to them alouc response
ble ?
I most certainly have a majority
of Democratic votes according to
their return, and Messrs. George
and Barksdale, just as certainly
have no proof either that they were
mistaken or have been false to their
duty.
I won the raceon the dead square;
I trusted to the Democratic voters
of the District for my election, and
now with confidence appeal to tboir
sense of right for my approval.
I have heard it slated that there
was a rule governing the election as
follows :
“In raw n single vote in east not M
I t homed by the conditions for naid elec
I tion. Means. George and Barksdale were
I authorized to rogard the elcctiou as
j unllity.”
There was no such rule, as this
j community knows. To have the re
sult of att election secured by such a
! frail tenure, would he too absurd,
I for anything but child's play.

We learn that Mr Bullrley further
. intends to lay a history of the ctse
before the President, aud then if
Gen. Adams is appointed in spite of
this, appeal the matter to the Senate
and endeavor to prevent his con
firmation. Meantime, Gen. Geo. C.
McKee, Republican, whose time
does uot expire until next year, and
whose deputy, Mr. Hulk ley is.

Tho North, Central and South

1 To the People of Mississippi:
The North, Central and South
i American Exposition has purchased
! the property and succeeded to the
I rights, privileges and franchises ol
| the World’s Industrial and Cotton
i Centennial Exposition, and will on
November 10th, open with the as
; suicd prospect of large and compre
! hensive exhibits from the different
j Status Slid Tcnitories of our owu
.'country, and Ironi foreign nations.
The management ot this new cn
> lerprise is composed of active, ener
getic gentlemen. who will make a
i supreme effort, by low rales, magnif
I icerit displays and otherwise, to at
tract to the Exposition, in large
numbers, the practical I. isi oess men
and women of the country who have
I brains to employ and capital to in
| vest iu every inviting field. Before
i this large and intelligent assem.
I blage, from every clime and country
' ttie best resources and capabilities
| ot the State of Mississippi should lie
i adequately displayed. We should
I rival, if we do not suipass, that mag
nilicenl exhibit at the last Exposi
tion, which compelled the admira
: tion of the whole country, and filled
J the heart of every Mississippian
j with patriotic pride. To this end.
I have appointed Mr Ramsey Whak
i ton our Slate Commissioner. Ho
[ was the light arm of Major S. A.
1 Jonas at the last Exposition, and the
j experience he then acquired, and the
zeal and ability lie displayed in the
I interest of the State, particularly fit
! aud mark him to succeed his dis
I tinguisbed chief He will avail hiru
! self of much that is left and desira
: ble of the last exhibit, which is now
i in position, and, will judiciously
; use our share of the generous nppro
! priation made by the Management
j to the States anti Territories. But
all this will not suffice without the
cordial support aud co-operation ot
the people of Mississippi, and to
them I appeal for suclt contributions
as are necessary to supplement aud
complete the last exhibit, and make
this the most attractive, useful and
comprehensive display at the North,
Central and South American Expo
sition. Robert Loww,
Governor.

Railroad Supervision in Georgia.
! Natchez Democrat.
The stale of Georgia lias tried
railroad supervision probably as
thoroughly as any State in the
i Union. Georgia has more miles of
railroad than any other Southern
! State, and is in as good condition
for tt yin^ the expel iment of super
! vision es any other. That State has
j carried its supervision principles to
i such an extent that t he whole earn
j ings of the roads are absolutely eon
jtiolled by tliret* commissioners ap
| pointed by the State. These com
' missioners have no personal interest
1 in any of the roads, yet they ate ai
| lowed to sav what the capitalists
i who have $75,000,000 invested in
! shall do in the niatingemen of their
properly.
This has hail so depressing an ef
fect upon the railroad interest, and
i is so manifestly unjust, that on the
recommendation of the governor the
. legislature is now engaged in dis
! cussing a bill for the relief of the
j raiimad companies, in which the
power of the commission is confined
| to preventing unjust discrimination.
In the meanwhile the construction
| of railroads has almost ceased in the
! State, and persons in the Stale who
jappneiate the injustice done the
| roads claim that, capital will no
lotigerseek investment in a business,
the management of which is taken
out of their hands and entrusted to
parties not interested in the enter
prise'
There seems but little doubt that
| the legislature of Georgia, after a
i lull trial of the supervision law and
I observation of its injurious working.
| n ill greatly modify the present law
j if they do not repeal it altogether.
An outspoken press is the glory ol
j i free and independent, people. An
J honest i,ewHpaper should always he
upheld and lib- rally patronized by
; the citizens of any community, even
j it it does sometimes criticise officials
j ami speak bol ily of well known
I abuses. In the hour of necessity
such a newspaper is the bulwark ol
the rights and liberties ol the peo
pie.
We really dislike to give offence
to our tellow citizens, and regret the
loss of their patronage, hut if we do
I so by adhering to principle and up
{ holding morals, “So mote it be.” We
are working for what we honestly
conceive to he the best interests ol
our community, and if we in doing
this incur the displeasure of our fel
low citizens to the extern of a loss or
patronage that would prevent our
I bringing out another issue ol oiir pa
j per, we would not hesitate one mo
j ment. We are actua'ed by no mo
tives of policy. We would rather go
down upholding the light, than to
flourish on the side of wrong —

not commit any excesses, there is no rea
son why jou should not gain in strenth,
appetite and weight. Hosts of whilom

I for years of vigorous health with this

which, if it were exposed, it must surely
succumb — notably malarial fever.
Kheumatixm, inactivity of the kidneys

various symptoms, disappear when it is
used with persistency, not adandoued

Brown’s Iron Hitters is incomparably

Dangerous Bowel Disorders.
j Now that bowel disorders, such as chol
era. cholera morbus, diarrhea, looseness,
pains in the bowels, &c., are prevalent
all over the enuutry, it behooves the wise
to l,e in readiness for emergencies. Mans
field’s “Mississippi Diarrhea Cordial” is i
the standard remedy. It lias stood the
test by untold thousands for thirty years
and was never known to fail in a single
instance. Every steamer plying the
“Father of waters” carries it in its medi
; cine chest and relies upon it exclusively
! to cure bowel disorders. One dose niton
I deters tlie secretions, heals and cures;
J and a few dusts never fails. Have it
; handy, it is always safe anti reliable. It
is the best remedy of its kind in the I
world. For sale by all druggists. Pre

Health, Wealth and Happiness
j Are more intimately connected with a
1 sound stomach and good condition of the
blood than most, people suppose. Thin
blood means weakness, languor and
misery. A dyspeptic stomach means all
the horrors you can think of. Brown’s
Iron Ritters means enriched blood, good
digestion, healthy appetite, sweet sleep
and vigorous strength. Mr. Henrv
Hallam, South 17th street St. Louis, says,
“Brown’s Iron Bitters relieved meofdys!
pepsia, purified my blood, and gave me
an appetite.” Thousands of others testify
in the saiue Way.

f 10k headaches for many years and was com
pletely cured by tli« use of Dr. Kennedy's Fsr

Another railroad man, Mr. A. DeRevere, Sta

Tahhytown Statior, Feb. W, 1*84.
Dr. David Kknnsoy, Uondout, N. Y.—
Dkaii Sir For a long time I had b«Mt
troubled with severe attacks of d lumen* sad
blind sick headaches. I thought it was due k>
Impure blood and a disordered sute of tha sys
tem. I was sdviaed to try Dr. Kennedy's Parer

cured. It's the beet thing I ever heard of for any
disorder of that nature, and I’ve recommended it
to many with like success.
