Not Intended to be Arbitrary.
\Ve fail to perceive liow the Fayette
Chronicle can object to the resolution
adopted by the Lincoln comity Democrat
ic Convention, instructing her delegates
<o the Floatorial Convention to vote for
no one but Mr. Summers or Mr. Lewen
thal. The resolution does not pretend to
dictate to the Jefferson county delegation,
and merely commands the Lincoln dele
gation to execute tl.e will of ’lie Lincoln
county convention, 1’bix i< all thoj reso
iii'iou implies, and surely no one will
question the autlmtity of any'conventiou
to instruct her delegates to vote for or
against any man or men. It was never in
tended to abridge or deny {Jefferson coun
ty's right to vote for whom she pleases,
bat Lincoln reserves the same right for
herself. Lincoln expects to meet Jeffer
son at the convention with an equal
strength and an equal voice in the elec
tion of a candidate. Although the po"
litical situation of Lincoln may he “pecu
liar," yet in the District Convention she
is entitled to the same number of votes
that Jefferson casts and she has a perfect
right to (decide for or against whom her
votes shall he cast; and, although this
decision may not please some people, yet
that is not sufficient to characterixe'that
decision as arbitrary and unreasonable.

LINCOLN'S SHERIFF.
I ■ 1
A Calm, Dispassionate Review ol
His Official Delinquencies.
Many of the people of this coun
ty ore quietly resting under the im
pre*sii>n that our present Sheriff is a
> mail'd iffi ini and could not he im
1 proved upon. Kuowing this, and
! having same reason already to doubt
“] the correctness of it, a represents
! live of Tiie Leadkr, as a faithful
; sentinel on the watch lower, has
1 lately been making some invesliga
; lions into the matter, and we find
that the truth is, Mr. McNair has
made a very ordinary Sheriff, and
I that a part of his ollicial record will
! not pass muster at all, as we shall
! proceed to show.
We will refer first to the large
I proportion of delinquent vases lie
has tailed to collect. The showing,
ns taken from the books in the
('hancery Clerk’s office, is as lol

Sheriff. 59 74
Subtract this #59.74 from the total ile
i litiqueiiey auil we have a net loss to the
county, less officers’ commissions, of $3,
, 877.20.
This is rather a bad showing ol
itself, but now we propose to show
what it has cost the county to col
lect the little that the Sheriff has
reported collected. The Legislature
or 1884 (see Acts of 1884, chapter
;3rd) in order to secure the more
I faitliful collection of delinquent
I . * . ■ I . I . L? 4 _ a _ ^ 1
UlACO I* 11 I IIII £ >11 v 141*7 g'bdb*, I'twcen
a law requiring sheriffs to make out j
i lists of the delinquent tax-payers in '
alphabetical order by Supervisors'
j districts and present them to the;
Board of Supervisors, who should j
! cause to be prepared delinquent j
j stub receipt books. These receipts;
! were to be filled out by the clerk of
; the Board from the delinquent lists
! and turned over to the sheriff and a
; memorandum of each receipt issued j
! kept by the clerk on the stub, j
j These delinquent tax receipts are j
| then to be turned over to the Sheriff :
by the clerk for collection, charged
up to him, and his receipt taken j
For this extra service the clerk may |
be allowed by the Board the sum of
$75.00 for each delinquent list thus
Ipiepared. Now on this score, the j
I account stands against the sheriff's;
neglect and inefficiency thus:
I Cost to county for delinquent tax
i receipt books.$25 00
i Ain’t paid clerk for making out de
i linquent list for 18$4. 75 00 I
j Am’t paid clerk for making out de
linquent list for 16S5. 75 00 ,
1 Am’t paid clerk for making out de
linquent list for 1(^*6 . 75 0O
Total. ..$250 00
i Total am’t coll cted by sheriff ou
these receipts. 37 75
Now subtract the amount co|-j
lee ted from the expense incurred in ;
furnishing him the lists for the
three years since the new law was!
passed and we have a net loss to the
county on this score alone of $212.- j
25. In other words, the books to,
date show that the county has paid
out $250.00 of good money on an
uncertainty and gotten back for it ;
$37.75.
But this is not all. The act
of the Legislature above referred to
makes the sheriff liable on bis;
official bond for all the delinquent
tax receipts issued to him. lie is
required on the first day of every |
December to make a statement un- (
der oath to the Chancery Clerk of
all collections of delinquent taxes;
and of all uncollected receipts iu his
hands, when he is credited with all (
collections anu tne iincoiiecieu re-1
ceipts returned to him again and
his receipt taken therefor. The'
receipts issued for 188i> will not
have t<> he accounted for until the,
first of next December, but how
does the account stand with refer-1
cnee to the receipts for 1884 and
1S8j? The Chancery Clerk's books j
show that the sheriff has never re !
ported a cent on the delinquents for j
1S85. and never returned on the first |
of last December the receipts for
either that year or 1884, as the law
required. This leaves the sheriff
liable on his bond as follows:
To ilelinqueut receipts for 18-4,
redelivered by clerk and
never accounted for since.... 31,209 11
To delinquent receipts for 1885,
never accounted tor. 994 00 |
_j
Total. *2,203.11 j
The sheriff must either account 1
for the receipts to this amount or the |
money they represent, and the
Board of Supurvisors are to blame
for not having already instituted
I suit on his bond, for the law made
it their duty to do so “at once'’
when he failed to render an account
i last December. If he can produce
I the receipts the fact still remains
I that the sheriff has been unfaithful
| in the collection of taxes, and has
not complied with the law in mak
ing the necessary returns.
We could point to other instances
! wherein our sheriff has not proven
himself a model official, such as his
failure every year since his incum
bency to publish a complete list of
delinquent lands prior to the first
Monday in March,thus necessitating
a second publication and a delay
in bis final settlements, the using of
the patronage of his office to collect
! hie private debts, etc., hut this is
j quite enough to satisfy all reason
j able persons for the present.
We wish to add in conclusion that
■ | in exposing these weak places iu the
sheriff's record, we are not actuated
' j by a personal preference for any
: other man, but we do it because he
is a candidate lor rc election aud wr
believe that, as a public journaliM,
' it is our duty to give these facts to
the public that the people may nave
their eyes opened and know iiow to
l act. Lincoln county has suffered
i woefully in the past on account ol
her sheriffs. It is not. for us, and
we do not now, lav criminal intent
at the door of any of the old sheriffs
or Mr McNair, but the fact remains
I that all of them have lallen short,
and lhat the county—the tax payers
— have been the losers. Let us not
! continue to blunder in this direc
tion; at any rate, if the people are
determined to do so. as far as this
paper is concerned, they shall do so
with their eves open.
! ‘ —
We republish the above" article
| from Tnx I.kaiikr of August 11th to
get freshly before our readers the
facts therein staled, that they mav
the more fully comprehend' what
follows.
At a meeting held the week
i following {the publication of said
article—whether caused by it.or not
we will not undertake to sav—the
Board of Supervisors made a full
and complete ) examination of the
delinquent tax-receipts for 1884 and
1885. and found that the Sheriff had
collected on 1884. $61.56, and on the
receipts of 1885, $103 65,—or a total
for the two years of $165.20. Now
subtract this amount from the $2,
203.11 charged against the sheriff
for tbc two years and we stiII have a
balance of uncollected delinquent
taxes for the two years of $2,047 91
Really, it is[a'few dollars in excess
of this, as a part of the $165.20 j
the sheriff reported to the Board as
collected is State’tax, not charged in
our first article.
The Sheriff and his partisans j
claim that delinquent poll taxes;
cannot be collected, but the people j
will hardly accept this as true, when j
it is considered that nothing what j
ever a man possesses is exempt j
from seizure for poll tax, {and the 1
sheriff may even garnishee any one j
owing a delinquent for its codec- [
tion.
We think the trouble is, the Slier !
I
;ff has not used duediligence in the j
matter. For example, the Editor of;
this paper was in the Chancery
Clerk’s otlice last Saturday and ask- ;
ed to he shown the stub receipt,
books in which the names of del in—!
quent tax payers were recorded. t
The clerk produced them from the!
Sheriff's office (where by law i
they should not have been)
ami explained that they were!
there because the Sheriff pre
ferred that the leeeipts should
not be torn from the stubs until 1
issued to delinquents, and that he
kept them there for that purpose. ;
An examination of these books—
which should not he carried out of
the Chancery Clerk’s office, and
certainly not out of the Court;
House—showed that but compara-j
tively few receipts had ever been !
torn from the stubs for the purposei
of making any effort at collection, j
For example, one book for 1885 run
ning from No. 401 to 600 inclusive
and embracing the delinquent lists
of Boguo Cliitto, Little Bahala,
Fair River, McClendon’s and
Adam’s Camp Ground, showed but
fne receipts torn out. Also one book
for 1885, running from No. 1 to 400
inclusive, and embracing the delin
(iMont lists ol lirookuavcn and !
1 i
Montgomery precincts, showed that
only 39 receipts were ever tom out;
for collection. All of the books for
1884 running from Nos. 1 to 1098
inclusive and embracing the whole
county, showed that but 344 receipts
had ever been torn from the stubs 1
for collection. Right here in the
town of Rrookhaven, where there
are upwards of two hundred voters
liable to poll tax iu sight of the j
court house, the sheriff collects from
less than half of them.
An examination of the account of!
i
jury tax and flues makes the follow
ing showing :
JOKY TAX .
For January term, 188f.8 62 00
For July term, 1885. 51 00
For January term, 1886. 33 00
For January term, 1887. 60 00
Total.|206 00
Ain’t credited Dec. 8, ’86. 42 75
Balauco uncollected.$163 25
Finks.
For January term, 1885.f165 00
Ain’t credited on same. 50 00
Balance uncollected.$115 00
We have not charged that the
sheriff is dishonest or trying to
swindle the tax payers, but we do
charge that he is inefficient, negli
gent and unbusiness like in attend
ing to the duties of his office, and
that the tax-payers in the face of
the record he has made have noth
ing to promise themselves in this
respect by selecting him to office for
a third term. He himself will not
claim that he has made his settle
incuts with the county as to delin
quent or other taxes promptly as
! prescribed by law, and if it were
• necessary, examples might be cited
of this fact.

State Fi nan cos.
Tiie total indebtedness is shown
to have i a creased between January
1, 1886, and July 1. 1887, $366,923
71, and the‘statements of differences'
shows how this has been brought
about.
The payable debt has increased
during the same time, $365,751.79.
The difference between the in
crease in the total indebtedness
($366,923.71 ) and the payable debt
($365,751.79), is the sum of $1,171.
92, added to the Chickasaw School
Fund. The oi her permanent funds
remain unchanged.
The difference between the pay
able debt less cash in the treasurj
January 1, 1886, and the pax able
debt, iess cash in the treasury July '
I, 1887, is $229,729 19.
The payable debt, less cash in
the treasury January I, 1882 ($322,
415.11) less the Agricultural <"ol
lege bonds, ($227,150) was $95,265.
II. It is now $995,445.42—au in
crease of $9U0,18U 31.
There is now a balance in the
treasury of $143,170.63, but if the
receipts fur the last six months of
1887, available for the payment of
cm rent expenses, do not exceed
the receipts for* the same period in \
1886, that balance xvill have been
expended before the Legislature!
meets, and there xvill be a consul-!
enable deficit in the treasury.”
In view of these tacts, the people
are demanding of their would be!
representatives pledges of economy
and reform.—Jackson Clarion.
The Legislature will be confront
ed with three alternates: Expendi
tures roust be radically cut down;
taxation must be radically increas
ed, or another series of bonds must
be floated to run the State to the
end of the administration.
Wherever Gov. Lowrv ha*
spoken, on his vindication tour, ex
cept at Okolona, resolutions have
been adopted endorsing his admin
istration. This, however, cannot
be taken as a correct reflection of
public sentiment on that subject, as
a sense of courtesy would restrain
the people of a community from op
posing a resolution of endorsement,
after inviting the Governor and re
ceiving him as a public guest. It
the people of the State really en
dorse the adiuinstration of Gov
Lowrv the most becoming manner
in which he could manifest his ap
preciation would be to increase the
State debt another million dollars
during the remainder of his term
People who think a big public debt
is neccessary to the posperity ami
welfare of the State should make
haste to endorse Lowryism, and
submit to increased taxation with
out a murmur, of which the next
Legislature will undoubtedly give
them another dose.— Tupelo Jour
nal.
It is a great, pity Hon. R. H. Allen
severed his connection with the Mis
sissippi Penitentiary as one of its
lessees, as otherwise the concern
would have paid its indebtedness to
the State promptly when due and
there would now be no deficit of
some $80,000, in the accounts of the
lessees with the State. When the
Penitentiary crowd commenced ham
mering Allen because he had once
been connected with them their
licks rebounded and hit them be
tween the eves, because it is conclu
sively shown that when be bade
them adieu their accounts with the
State were square.— Taxoo Senti

THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.
Tho Object and Aims of this Rap
idly Orowing Organisation.
! The following at tide we take from
the Mississippi Valley Farmer,]
published at Memphis. Ills from
the pen of Mr. J. F. Fells:
The farmers, of the South especial
ly. need something to lift them from
the Slough of Despond in which
’ iheir financial condition has thrown
them. We see the whole world
making a belter living bv handling
our products than we make by pro
duction.
We know it is but right that those
1 who handle, manufacture, and sell
j our products should have lair re
i mu iteration for their labor and the
u»e of their capital, but we sec that
the producer of the raw materal is
llie poorest of all the laborers en
gaged.
The Alliance is non-political in b
patiisan sense, and will not be the
tool of auy set of machine politi
clans or political “axe grinders ”
We expect to urge study of Repub
; Mean govern mem, for we are aware
j that, we o«e many ol our tmsforlun
! i-s to misrule and corrupt legislation.
; We wish to incnlcete honest piiu
ciplea and Democratic ideas.
The movement lias done great
good in the sections where it has
taken root. The credit system has
been vanquished wherever it has
come in contact with the Alliance or
the Union. We have a more pleas
ant prospect hetore us than we had
twelve months ago. The order
■ numbers about 235,000 in (he Slates
: LiotiiMana atm ltxas, unu organizers
'sent out—duly commissioned—into
| every State in the Union—the cotton
belt principally. It is a poor man’s
1 institution, anti it only costs fifty
I cents to join it, aud twenty five cents
a quarter afterwards, and any one
can get bis inoDey back on the first
ten dollars he spends after the or
ganization gets a foothold. The ex
penses have been very heavy up to
dale getting up material for the
work to be extended, but as soon as
the order gets to be well spread
the dues will be reduced, as expen
ses will be lighter.
\Thc whisky papers are very gener- j
ally and very severely “pitching
into” Bishop Galloway for bis
criticism of Mr. Davis’ letter. This
is all very much to the credit ol
the Bishop, who was entirely re
spectful to Mr. Davis, and even
more than respectful. The queston
upon which the Southern cx-Chiel
delivered himself is a moral one,
and the Bishop was iD line with his
calling wlien lie responded. We do
not think the Davis letter of great
concern anyway, but Bishop Gallo
way stands on good ground about
it.— Sword and Shield.
Maj J. S. Mason, the veteran
editor of tlie Port Gibson Reveille,
died last Thursday, after a protract
ed illness. He was an aide and pun i
gent writer and one of tin* best i*
formed journalists of the State.
Tiie Press will miss his blight and
incisive pen. The paper will hereaf
ter conducted by his son, Mr. G’has.
S. Mason.
The Kinncss is immense and
must be seen to be appreciated. It
is beyond our powers of description
No doubt can now be entertained
of the success of the Alliance.
