Ex-President Davis Reply to Presump-

the SenatOrship.

n. o. Picayune.l
The reporter referred to the fact that one OF
the Mississippi Senatorships would soon be va
can't and asked the pointblank question;
''Mr. Davis, YOU candidate for the posi-
ton 90
Mr. Davis very eourteously demanded:
"By what right do you undertake to catechise
me?'
The answer was that the question of the SEN
atorship had been very thoroughly discussed,
and was one in which the public felt the deep
est interest and any declaration by Mr.. Davis
would be eagerly received.
He modesty remarked that he didn't see
what interest the public could have in him or
his actions.
"My chief reason for asking is to get some
thing definite, as it had been stated that you
had authorized the statement you were not a
candidate"
'"That is news to me. Where did you see it ?''
ain of the Mississippi papers, and be-
believe it was pretty generally copied through
out the State"
'Indeedr exclaimed Mr.. Davis; "why,
have authorized any one to speak for
me-"
"Then a false impression has gone abroad,
and should like to correct it. Are you can
date for Senatorship?"
~ am not. have been elected to the United
States Senate three times and appointed once,
and have never yet been a candidate for the
position"
''You mean, then, that you not a candidate,
but at the same time you not control the
Legislature if it chooses el--|
''Id hardly go SO far as that" interrupted Mr..
Davis, with the same pleasant smile
'MoreOver," he subsequently added, "when |
wish to make a declaration of my position, l
shall do it myself and directly to the people in
terested, and you can rest assured it will be put
in such plain language there will be no misun-
derstanding its meaning"

THE YELLOW FEVER AT MEMPHIS.
The National Board of Health's Plan to
Prevent Its Spreading.

l am ordered by the National Board of Health
to urge the isolation, far possible, of in
fected persons and places in the City of Mem
pills. with a view to offer all possible obstruction
to the extension of the yellow fever. i believe
that an effective system of isolation here is not
only possible, but TO an extent that will do
much good. 1t is easy, and to that end is re-
commended to the local authorities The fol-
lowing is the plan of action, namely:
l. That the physicians of the city be appealed
to assist the local Board of Health in securing
isolation of their yellow fever patients.
2. That the Howard Association be requested
to require that this assistance shall be given in
aid to the local Board of Health by the physic-
ians in their employ
3. That the assistance of all private nurses
shall be invoked in aid of the work of isolation,
under the direction of the physicians in charge
of the patients nursed by them.
f. That the Howard Association be requested
to require all nurses employed by them shall
cooperate to this end with the Howard physi-
clans
). That every physician in charge of any case
of yellow fever shall isolate that patient as far
as possible, by prohibiting access TO the sick
room of all persons except those necessary to
the proper care OF the sick, this rule to apply
to the members of the family as well as to other
persons
6. That a yellow flag be put in front of every
house in which there is yellow fever, and that
no ingress egress shall be permitted to such
houses, except under rules to be prescribed by
the Board of Health.
Z That whenever it may be deemed expedi-
ent to do so, specially INFECTED neighborhoods
shall be isolated, either by erected barriers or
by stationing guards upon the street leading in
to them, and prohibiting all intercourse with
such neighborhood, except such as may be al
lowed by the Board of Health.
s. That all attendance at funerals, except
such as may be necessary for the decent burial
of the dead, be discontinued.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

OBITUARY.

Died in Wilson county, Tennessee, on the
Goth of last July, and in the identical house in
which he had been born, more than 6S years
before, Mr.. w. II. DONNELL, an old, yenera-
bic, and highly respected citizen of this place.
He born on the 9th of November 1910,
and had reached to about the period usually al
loted to old men. His ancestors were among
the earliest settlers ol the above named county,
and there still resides many of his near rela-
tives of the DOnnen name. From his child
hood he was trained to habits of sobriety and
industry, and these excellent virtues he prac-
ticed to the latest day of his life.
At early age he married to Miss
Susan Benthell, of his own ueighborhOod, who
ma de him devoted, loving and venerable wife
who with their four children, son and three
daughters, urvives him to mourn his departure
At the age of twenty-four, he professed his
faith in Christ, and united with the Presbyteri-
an church, and was ever after steadfast and
consistent follower of his dearest Lord.
In 1912 he came to Mississippi, and resided in
Carroll county for six months after which he
came to reside i'll Jackson, which became his
permanent home Here he transferred his
membership, and was ever since Il regular
shipper in the house of God upon the Sabbath.
The deceased was a man of sterling worth and
stern integrity, and few among us possessed
more of the respect of their fellow citizens than
he did.
Most simple in his habits, and unpretending
in his professions, he was Yet man of strong
and independent character, man of straight
forward honesty, and unbending in his adhesion
Quiet, peaceable, industrious, and always
minding his own business, his life was one of
trial, and he was one who never sought TO earn
his bread save by the sweat of his face.
While man of unbending principle, yet he
was full of that charity which "is kind" and
which "envieth not" one in whom there was
no spirit of contention, and of whom his
neighbors say, che was man easy to get along
with"
A kind and loving husband, an affectionate
and devoted father, good citizen, kind neigh
Dor, faithful friend, an honest man, a christian
as such Mr. DoNNELL has passed to his eternal
rest.
On the night of his departure to visit the
place of his nativity for the benefit of his health
he told his friends that he was under no alarm
as to the issue of his illness, and that he was
prepared for whatever it might be Gods will to
send. He was not anxious TO stay, if Gods
time for his departure had come. 1t in
this spirit of resignation he called hence by
his Blessed Lord He died as he had lived
firm, faithful and without fear, for "he knew
whom he had believed, and that he was able to
Keep that which he had committed to Him
against that day"
To his children he has left the legacy of an
honest name, and memory most precious.

THE EMIGRANTs HEARD FROM.
They Give Kansas . Taste Of the Way
They Used to Do In Mississippi.
And Are ON Their Way South ON Foot.

Special to the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
CARTHAGE, Mo, August 16.-Yesterday the
report was telegraphed that lot of negroes
had seized freight train at Oswego, Kansas,
and were holding IL yesterday afternoon, de-
manding to be taken back to st. Louis. The
negroes had been brought out here by one OF
the contractors on the Oswego and Wichita ex-
tension of the St. Louis and San Francisco
railroad, with the promise they say of work.
There were nearly 200 of them, and on arriy-
ing at Oswego there proved to be
work for only about half the number.
This created an outbreak, and about fifty Of
them boarded the afternoon freight train and
declared the train should not go out without
them. After delay of over two hours the
conductor finally got them off under pretense
OF going back to the end of the road to do some
switching, promising TO take them st the
depot as the train came back, but instead of
doing so the train dashed by and got away safe
". Over fifty OF them then declared they would
walk back to St Louis and accordingly started
last evening Reaching Columbus, they demand
ed lodgings for the night, and the authorities
concluded To take the easiest plan with them and
opened the Court House, in which the negroes
spent the night without annoying the citizens.
At daylight they congregated at the depot Tor
the purpose OF capturing an east-bOund train.
which passed there about o'clock, but the
trainmen were on the lookout, and, fear
ing trouble, stopped the train a half mile
before reaching the town and let off the pas
sengers for that place, and then dashed past
the depot. Again the negroes were COM
PEELED to take up the tramp. They reached
Smithfield, in this county, at noon, and clean
ed out a large watermelon field in defiance OF
the owner. They will reach this city tonight
in fact, looked for every minute. The
authorities have not vet determined what dis
position to make of them. They will proba-
bly, follow the line OF San Francisco Road all
the way TO St. Louis.

Kinds County Greenback Nomina
tiOns.

The following are the nominations made by
the Greenbackers Of this county: For Senator,
J. T. Hull Representatives, L. X. Atwood
(col.), j. d. Hollingsworth, t. A. Mutt, J. F.
Burnett Sheriff, J. w. Chrisler Chancery
Clerk, w. A. Montgomery; Circuit Clerk, NJ
NJ. Mcleod (col.); Assessor, E. II. Sibley ;
Treasurer, l.. w. Carraway Surveyor, w. H.
Collins.
The ticket is regarded as a weak one. No
body but the nominees express satisfaction
with it. The Convention itself was a failure
and it failed to select the strongest men from
the material before it. Several colored dele
gates struck their names from the rolls of the
party, wisely concluding that they had got in
to the wrong box. Nevertheless, the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives must not rely upon
the weakness of their adversaries. They
must prove themselves worthy of success by
working for it.
