Atlanta, August 3.—To-day eighteen

the report and a formidable force of fellow-

Aberdeen, Miss., August 2.—A spirited
prohibition campaign, under the provis
ions of the local option law adopted by the
last legislature is being waged in Missis
sippi. About thirty counties will pass upon
the question this summer. Two years ago
the prohibitionists were highly successful,
aud many Mississippi counties in local
parlance “went dry.” This year
the whisky men have made
a stronger right and have wrested two
or three counties from the prohibitionists.
Eight or ten counties have already voted
upon the question. Lauderdale, Mont
gomery, Clark, Greene and Copiah have
voted the “dry” ticket, while Adams,
Jssaquiua, Warren, JJackson, and others
have been carried by the “wets.” Sixteen
more counties will vote for or against the
sale of whisky early in August.
Thus far politics have been carefully ex
hausted, but the prohibitionists now show
a disposition in some sections to make a
political question of it. Heretofore the
opponents of the sale of whisky have re
ceived strong support from the negroes,
who were influenced to vote against license
by negro pastors who have taken an active
interest in the question. Tiiis year the ne
groes have shown a disposition to support
the “wets.” As a result the contest has
developed a new phase. One of the
largest counties in the state is Lowndes.
Here a heated canvass is now in progress,
with the chances in favor of the whisky
men, who are supported by the mass of
the negroes.
A few days ago the prohibitionists
changed front entirely, and insisted that
the question, as it affected the best inter
ests of the state, was largely one of party
politics. They therefore decided that it
should be settled not by popular vote, but
by a democrat ic primary, at which only
democrats could vote, and the result of
which was to be binding upon the county
supervisors. If the “wet” ticket carried
the primary, license to sell whisky should
be issued. If the “dry” ticket was suc-

crats in favor of the sale of whisky de
bated the proposition for several days, and
have finally decided to reject it. So the
question will be decided by a popular vote.
The general sentiment throughout Mis
sissippi is that the prohibition question
must be divorced from politics, ana the re
sult of the extraordinary proposition made
b % v the prohibitionists in Lowndes county
will be likely to prevent a similar move
being made elsewhere. It will also have
the effect of throwing the negro vote,
which the prohibitionists proposed to dis
franchise, more solidly for whisky.

The Virginia Tobacco Prop.
Referring to the tobacco crop in Vir
ginia, Colonel Randolph Harrison, com
missioner of agriculture lor that state, iu a
report issued Thursday, says: -There is no
doubt that the outlook tor a good tobacco
crop, or, to speak with more precision, tor
a crop of good tobacco, is very uu- I
promising in Virginia. Plants were not
lacking, as a general thing, but there has
been so little interval between rains since
planting season began that much j
of the tobacco was doubtless .planted on
‘too much season’—a great hindrance to
its growing off well, as every old planter
knows. Then the land has not been in |
good condition to work, and the workings
that could be given have done very little
good, because another rain would come
directly afterwards and set all the gross
that was cut up, at the same time packing
the ground so that plants could not thm e.
Such is the general condition of the* eiop •
in Virginia, according t;> the co^mnssiom

The earliest reference to shaving is found
in Genesis xii, 14, where we read that Jo
seph, on being summoned before the king,
shaved himself. There are several direc
tions as to shaving in Leviticus, and the ^ „
practice is alluded to in many other parts el ., s p, e ii e f,bused upon wlnit lie ha
of scripture. Egpyt is the only country j u>al . (
mentioned in the Bible where
shaving was practiced. In nil °tnpr
countries such an act would
have been ignominious. Herodotus men
tions that the Egyptians allowed their
beards to grow when in mourning, “o par
ticular were they as to shaving at other
times that to have neglected it was a sub
ject of reproach ana ridicule, and when
ever they intended to convey the -dea ot a
man of low condition and slovenly habits, |
the artists represented him
Unlike the Romans of a later
tians did not confine the i
jngto free citizens, butob.. CT

beard became customary — ~ .
Homans about 300 B. C.. Ac ‘
cording to Piny, Scipio Afncanus
was the first Roman who shaved
daily. In France the custom of shaving
arose when Louis XIII came to the throne
young and beardless. The Anglo-Saxons
Wore their beards until, at the conquest,
they were compelled to follow the example
of the Normans, who shaved. From ;h'e
time ol Edward III to that of Charles I
boards were universally worn. In Uharie
