The total white registered vote in
this county is 13«8. The number of
persons voting in the primary August
Uth was 991, as shown by the com
bined vote for the candidates for State
Senator. This shows that nil but 377
of the white registered voters of the
county participated in said primary,
and are thereby pledged to the sup
port of the Democratic nominees. As
suming, which we think reasonable,
that fully as many of the 377 who did
not vote in the primary w ill support
the party nominees as there will be
of the 991 who will be false to their
obligations, the only earthly chance
for independents would be through
the aid of about a fourth of the w hites
of the county combined with the solid
negro vote. As most of the whites
will l>» in no temper to countenance
any such combination ns that, and as
fully half of the negroes that are reg
istered will be unable to vote under
the Australian ballot law, which will
be iu force in November, all would-lie
independent and Republican candi
dates will therefore find themselves
on a very cold trail.

them Monday evening and spend
quite a while in pleasant social

lire. Aby is a versatile and forcible

In spite of the anti-AlIiance press,
headed by the Nashville American,
Hon. J. H. McDowell, President of the
Tenuesssec State Alliance, refuses to
be “laid out,” and the Tennessee
brethren refuse to bury him. lie was
unanimously re-elected by his State
Alliance last week, which said : “We
denounce and condemn the unwar
ranted and unclean methods adopted
by some of the political press, partic
ularly the American and Herald, of
Nashville, and the News, of Chatta
nooga, in their efforts to break down
the organization and the social, polit
ical and moral character of President
McDowell.”
The Greenwood Enterprise, edited
by Hon. J. K. Yardenmn, who is a de
servedly popular candidate for Speak
er of the next House of Representa
tives, gives expression to this lofty
sentiment: “If we are unable to
maintain our position by legitimate
arguments on the economic questions
which confront the civilization of this
century, or questions of policy in gov
ernmental matters without impugning
motives or indulging in personal
animadversion, wo shall abdicate in
favor of one who can.” Would that
Mississippi had more editors of Mr.
Yardeman's mold.
In tlie 31st Senatorial district, com
posed of the counties of Pontotoc,
Calhoun and Chickasaw, the delegates
met at Iloulka. There were contest
ing delegations from each county. No
agreement could lie effected and con
sequently two conventions were or
ganized. One nominated Robt. Po
viiie, of Calhoun aud Jas. Gordon, of
Pontotoc, and endorsed George aud
Walthall. The other nominated J.
W. Winter, of Chickasaw, and R.
Wharton, of Pontotoc, and endorsed
the Sub-Treasury.
The first bale of new cotton was re
ceived at Summit last Thursday from
Alex Reeves, a worthy aud respecta
ble.colored man, who is an extensive
planter, and who has been receiving
the honors for the past few years in
bringing to market the first new' bale.
The bale weighed 423 pounds, and
classed good middling. The cotton
was bought by Messrs. II. Hiller &.
Co. at ten cents per pound. Alex.
Reeves has a large crop this year,
aud will sell eight or ten bales before
Sept. 1.
A correspondent in north Lincoln,

S|H»cial to the Leader.]
Jackson, Aug. 19.—Ilinds lias
spoken in lier primaries, and despite
the fact that speakers were imported,
all sorts of tricks resorted to and no
stone left unturned to defeat Barks
dale iu his own county and “retaliate”
on him for downing George in Carroll,
the people's gallant and dauntless
champion has triumphed. Private
Allen, “Old Trace Chains'' himself,
the silver-tongued Hooker and others
of lesser note, stumped the county
and spent their arguments and their
eloquence all to no purpose—Hinds
refused to repudiate her favorite son.
Barksdale's majority in the county
will he about 2(H). Ilis friends here
are jubilant.
Scott and Attalla Join flic Barksdale Col
umn.
Special to the Leader,]
Jackson, Ang. 19.—News has just
reached here that Scott and Attalla
counties wheeled into the Barksdale
column in Tuesday's election, each by
a majority of about 200. Scott, be it
remembered, is the home of Congress
man-elect Beenian, who opened the
campaign with so many interviews
against the Sub-Treasury, and Attalla
joins Carroll and was twice visited by
Senator George and her people ap
pealed to for support.
Bro. Henderson of the West Point
Forum, who is running for State Sen
ator iu his district, has the worst mix
ed platform we have seen. He says:
“My platform still is : Pure Democ
racy, George and Walthall and the
Farmers’ Alliance principles, in op
position to demagoguery, monopolies,
trusts and soulless corporations.” It
is quite useless to add that Bro. II.
got badly left iu the primary.
The sixth congressional district Al
liance struck the key-note when it
said : “We censure the carelessness
of honest intending men, who neglect
their duty to their children and en
dauger the freedom of our Institu
tions by staying away from the con
ventions, the primaries and the polls,
thus permitting and rewarding dis
honest court house riugs and falsify
ing the expressions of the people.”
The Meridian Standard has just
passed its tirst mile-stone and says if
it is not given n more liberal adver
tising patronage it will have to sus
pend or
“ Kohl Its tent like the Arab,
And silently steal away.”
The Staudard is unquestionably one
of the ablest and best edited papers
in the State, and deserves a better
fate.
Tlic sixth congressional district Al
liance at its meeting in Kllisville, con
demned the State Convention for its
action against the Sub-Treasury ns
contrary to the objects of the call, un
democratic and unjust. They say be
ing true Democrats and believing in
Jeffersonian Democracy in its purity,
they do not propose to be read out of
the party by tricksters or bolters.
The Copiah Sigual, under its new
management, is trying to occupy neu
tral ground touching the Sub Treas
ury. Just us well take a stand on
one side or the other, neighbor, and
bo done with it. It will come to thnt
sooner nr later, for the issue is here to
stay until it is settled aud settled
right.

The Madison county Alliance held
its August meeting with l'enrl Suh
Allinncc, 12 miles south of Canton.
In the new organizations T. J. Als
worth, of Central Alliance, was elect
ed President; A. J. Sneed, of Oak
Ridge Alliance, vice-President; Da
vid K. Wood, Oak Ridge, Secretary ;
M. Russell, Central Alliance, Treas
urer ; L. 11. Churchill, Pearl Alliance,
Chaplain ; 1). R. Ilearne, Pearl Alli
ance, Lecturer ; B. F. Passmore, As
sistant Lecturer ; Clias. L. Gilmer of
Oak Ridge, and I). R. Ilenrn of Pearl,
delegates to State Alliance.
The Ocala demands were reiudors
ed. A resolution was passed looking
to a reduction of the charges for re
cording deeds of trust, etc., by legis
lative action. Also another in regard
to a systematic examination of the
acts of the Board of Supervisors.
Another in regard to discriminating
frieght rates to our county seat by the
1. C. R. R. authorities.
The resolution of Shiloh Sub-Alli
ance, passed July 18th, demanding
the expulsion of one W. S. McAllister
were endorsed. Also resolved by
Madison county Alliance, in view of
the dissatisfaction evidenced by the
resolution of Flora Sub-Alliance (and
petitions from many portions of the
county) and that this may be appeas
ed and harmony restored in the ranks
of the Deinocraticparty, we request the
Democratic Executive Committee at
as early a date as convenient to take
some action that will clearly show the
will of the voters of this county as to
their preference for United States
Senator for this State ; and that said
Democratic Executive Committee re
quire of the representatives to the
Legislature nominated on the Demo
cratic ticket that they obey the will of
the majority so expressed.
Another resolution was adopted in
regard to wheat culture and flouring
mills and a committee appointed to
interest each Snb-Alliancc in this
matter and provide a way for co-op
eration.
Many others were adopted looking
to the good of the order in this county
and in the State, and the general feel
ing that prevaied is that the Alliance
has accomplished more at this meet
ing than at any previous one, and
the Madison couuty Alliance peo

and women who are alive to the great
interests at stake. Bro. Hobbs of the
Brookiiaven Leader was present
and made a strong presentation of the
Alliance demands, in which he showed
their compatibility and also the su
preme necessity for strong and deter
mined effort by the Alliance in order
that these desired reforms in Na
tional legislation may be brought
about in time to relieve this genera
tion from the oppression that it now
is laboring under.
I he elegant tare, magnificent order
anil that brotherly and sisterly kind
ness that the members of Pearl Alli
ance showed to the delegates and vis
itors impressed 11s all and we know
more of how to be hospitable than we
did. Among other notes taken the
splendid example set by Pearl in en
tertaining will help us all in the fu
ture. That beautiful song at parting,
“God be with you ’till we meet
again,” made many a tear well up in
eyes that were not accustomed to
weeping.
