There seems to- be a Keeling generally
prevalent among the coal operators tnat q
strike will be Inaugurated among the coal
miners about the 1st of May. The rules OF
the Miners association of the state of Hi
flois will not permit Of strike before thai
time and 1t is stated that the miners are
eyeu now ripe for walk-oHt. The opera
| tors on this side are. getting nearly the usu.
al amount Of coal from the out side and
manufacturers are paying the. prices paid
before the strike was inaugurated. The re
tail buyers are paving prices which arr
slightly In advance of the old rate Some
of the railways will not receive coal fol
| shipment, among the number Is the Missou
n Pacific. One reason why the supply /!
| smaller than usual is that the railroad com
paBies have not employees who are capabl,
OF doing the work the old men did. A.
long as there is probability of a strik,
among the miners il Is not likely that tn,

HE SAYS HE CANNOT VOTE BECAUSE HE DID
HIS DUTY TO HIS STATE
At convention of deleg ates to nominate
a candidate for Congress in the Sixth Miss
issippi district at Mississippi City Wednes-
day, Jefferson Davis, who was present, as
spectator, was invited 10 address the con-
ven,ion. The venerable ex-President of the
Confederacy. after an enthusiastic reception,
spoke a, some length. lie spoke Of the as
sembed Mississippians as brothers and fell
low countrymen, and said tina, there was a
time when he could have called them fellow
citizens, but that time, alas had passed. Yet
he felt proud TO call them fellow Mississip-
plans. for he was Mississippian from head
TO foot. He spoke Of the temptations to
which a Congressman was exposed. sur
rounded BY contractors and LOBBYISTS. II
was not difficult to send an homes, man to
Congress, but to get one who could with
stand temptation and come back honest was
not an easy task.
In conclusion, Mr.. Davis said that al
though he could not vote, he was proud to
be held in such high esteem by MISSISSIPPI
mans. He could not vote because he had
resigned his Office in the United States SEN
ate to take the position Of maj general OF
the Mississippi militia, and then To DO his
duty when placed in charge of the affairs Of
the South. He was glad was not con-
sidered a crime by Missssippisns lat he
had been true to them. The couni was
now at peace, and the people should stand
shoulder TO shoulder. working for the gen
eral good.
Immense applause followed the speakers
utterances.
