Gin Negroes Drowned.

Strong westerly winds prevailed
last night and the water in the lake
was whipped by them into angry
waves, which proved most disas-
trous to six of eleven negroes, who
were making their way from Mr..
James McDowell's plantation to
this city in q skiff. Shortly after
9 o'clock the skiff commenced to
founder, the waves having filed
her, and the men gave forth loud
cries of alarm. A skiff from the
wharfboat was manned by Mr..
Henry Cavanaugh and Chas.
Brown and dispatched to the res
cue of the drowning men, who
could be plainly seen from the deck
of the steamer City of Yazoo,
which boat was lying at the wharf

they having chung to the gunwales
of their sunken boat. Another
.skiff also appeared on the scene
and succeeded in rescuing one man,
Wash. Willis Dynamo. The names
of those who were rescued by the
skiff from the wharfboat, are Al
fred Hunt, Patton Moore, Reuben
Oliver, and Levi Stuart. The
names of the men who were no
doubt drowned are: j. A. Mont

Ready, Dan Kelly, March Gibson,
and Dick Dennis. The negroes
left Cabin Teele before dark yes
terday, and were coming to this
city to look after some stock be-
longing to Mr.. James Mcdowell.
They were in the water at least half
an hour before aid could reach
them, and during this time their
screams for help were most pitiful.
After their rescue the five men
were met by a Commercial Herald

A Case of Nistakan Identity.

A private soldier named Smith,
in the Union army, distinguished
himself at the battle of Seven Pines,
and was in consequence promoted
to the rank ofsergeant. Besides his
very peculiar name, Smith had an
other very remarkable popularity,
and that was defect in his vision.
The first time Sergeant Smith was
called on to inspect the guard, q
very amusing incident occurred.
The sergeant intended to rebuke
private Brown, but instead of look
ing at Brown, he kept his eye fixed
on Jones.
"Why don't you button up yonr
jacket when you come out on
guard?" thsndered the sergeant.
Sergeant, it is buttoned up"
demonstrated Jones, at whom he
was evidently looking. The ser
geant, endeavoring to look at Jones,
now fixed his eyes on Brown and
exclaimed:
81 haven't said anything to you;
what are you talking about?".

thought he was the party meant

1t is useless to say that such men
as H. r. Lucas, Bill Crandell, j.
G.. Scale, and scores of others who
are associated with them in this
campaign are not Democrats, and
that the ticket published in the
Madison Journal is not a District
Democratic ticket.fully as much Is
the other; all such balderdash has
but little weight with the real vo-
tiers. The egotistic superiority as
sumed by one faction over the
other is not pleasant to peruse and
viii not win. Inasmuch as the
Democracy of Madison in pursuit
of power, have agreed to disagree,
by all means let the struggle go on
peacefully ifpossible, and may the
best man win.-East Carroll Citi-
rem. -
The above specimen is a pretty

good sample of the way the Lucas
Crandell party dodge the issue.
No one has charged that party with
not being Democrats. Some OF
their methods are not very ortho-
dox, but no attempt has been made
to read them out of the party. The
Democratic Executive Committee
appointed by Geo. w. Montgome-
ry is the proper and genuine Com
mittee. Under their call a District
Convention was held and a District
ticket nominated by delegates ap-
pointed by Geo. w. Montgomery,
who also had appointed the Execu-
tive Committee. Any one who did
not like that delegation was at per-
feet liberty to appoint a different
set of delegates, but that is not
sound Democratic doctrine.
The delegates appointed by Mr..
Montgomery were appointed prop
erly and by an authority recog.
nized by the Baton Rouge Conven.
ton and by the State Central Com
mittee. The case was so clear that
the East Carroll delegation, while
their sympathies were with the
Lucas randell party, conld not
ignore the facts, and 80 went in
with the properly appointed dele.
gates. Hence the TIMES claims
] that there is but one Democratic
ticket, not that the other ticket il
not backed up by Democrats. A
Democrat can back up, or get up
or get his back up about, any ticke'
he pleases, but that does not alte,
the fact of there being only the on,
properly nominatedticket That i
all the TINES claimed, and the Cit
izen gives no reason for a csntrar,
opinion.

Willing to Go Another Dollar.

Quite a sensation was created on
Albermarle street the other morn
ing. An old man came driving up
the street. His cart was q queer
vehicle of an ancient type and had
evidently been used a great many
years. All at once the. iron gray
mule came to q standstill. He re-
fused to move. He wouln't go.
The dilapidated specimen of a
long departed past beat him vigor-
ously with a club. The old man
pounded him numerically. But

Tackling Q Sleeping Bloodhound.

As the boat was loading cotton
meal at Natchez We saw q big
bloodhound come down the street,
walk aboard the wharf boat and
stretch out in the sun for nap.
The talk at once turned upon dogs,
and then upon this one in partic-
lar.
"That dog" said one of the pas
sengers, "would no doubt kill any
man whom he attacked"
This was followed by various
yarns in regard to the strength
and ferocity of blood hounds, and
then another passenger putin:
"I'll give any man a dozen cigars
who will go out there and wake
that dog and pathim on the head. "
"a dozen cigarsl" echoed an
other, "why, man, l wouldn't go
out there and rouse him up for a
$40 BILL"
"Humphl" sneered a man who
sat with his feet on the rail little
ways off, and who had come aboard
as.we landed.
"Maybe you want to wake up
that dog!" holly remarked the SIC
man.
~ think / could"
"You do, eh?"
"I'll bet you $40 1 dare fling him
into the river!"
"Done! Done quicker than
creased lightning!" shouted the
other as he felt for his cash,
and in minute or two the money
was up. ..s..
"Now, then, you are to walk
down there, seize him by the collar
and fling him into the river2"
Exactly"
And he walked. Without be-
traying the least hesitation he went
down the plank, marchedup to the
dog, and taking him by the collar,
drew him to the edge and dumped
him off. The dog made no resist
ance, and speedily swan around to
the bank and trotted off up the
street.
We all felt completely flattened
out, and after the stakes were CIV
en- up and the winner had disap-
peared, 1 went over to the pilot,
whose face wore a broad grin, and
