eide. A ncighbor called at the
Sixth precinct station house and
stated that no member of tho
Franklin family who IN the rear
of $50 Monroe street had been
seen since Wednesday. He
thought something was wrong.
Two officers went to the honse. One
effected an entrance through the
front window. All was quite in
the house, but passing into the
bedroom Franklin was sitting on
the edge Of the bed with revol.
YER grasped in HIS right hand.
AS the officer was about to enter
the man drove him out Of tue room
at the point ofthe weapon. Then
Q pistol shot rang out. The ofli.
Ger rushed in and found franklin
had shot himself through the left
brast. He was not yet dead. His
wife and 3yesr-old child, however,
we're lying dead on the same bed.
Franklin died soon after. Both
victims had been shot through tho

Agricultural Colleges; the Hope ana
Glory or our Lana.

Ed. So. LIVESTOCK JOURNAL:
| see that the Mississippi Legisla-
turo is haggling about a pitiful little
appropriation for the A. a. NJ. College,
cutting down figures, and II is said that
ifthe College gets an appropriation at
all, II will not exceed s25,00O.
This state offeellng in a Legislature
so largely composed of farmers is the
most astounding surprise to me.
What on earth could produce il | am
utterly at loss to divine. And such
u College probably the best in the
United States, and the brightest jewel
Mississippi ever has aud ever will have.
Ii this spirit does not prevail
If there Is one thing more needed,
and now, than anything else, and
everything else IN the world, by the
agricultursts of the State and the
whole South, II is just the training that
youth can get at the A. a. NJ. College
of Mississippi.
That training will give him ten
years the start of youth who leaves
a classical college TO take possession of
farm. Without that training his
lands would bankrupt him within five
years, and leave him discouraged and
dispirted probably for lite; with 1t he
goes right on and can make living
and make money to lay up, from the
start.
AT my time of life, the folly of
planters and farmers sons being edu-
Gated at classical colleges, to the ex-
clusion of practical education at such
an institution as the A. Il NJ, seems
to me absolutely stupendous.
/ can clearly see hundreds, If not
thousands, of broken men, ruined
homes and dead failures, where sue
cess and prosperity would have ex-
listed instead ; ! can clearly see mil
lions and millions that would have
been saved to the South by the practi-
cal education of farmers sons, and the
sons of others as well; | can clearly
see every evil TO the success and pros
perity OF agriculture of the South in a
neglect Of such education; and | can
as clearly see that If such institutions
as the A, & NJ. are not stinted. but lib
orally sustained and built up, the
grandest march of prosperity all over
the whole Southern belt. The imagi.
nation fails to picture the possibilities
of the Southern States as a grass and
stock country, as a fruit and melon
country, as a corn, rice and cotton coun
try under wise and scientific mode
of agriculture.
Do you tell me that am dreaming
and visionary enthusiast, and don't
know what | am talking aboutY
answer that the generation in which
came along has had enough to knock
foolish visions out of our heads, but al
the same time has given me experience
that might have embraced dozen
lifetimes in the multitude of its vicis
sltudes, most of which were evil; and
IL is from thirty-fve years hard expe.
rience and closest observation that
say what | do, and in the emphatic
manner say it.
Let everlasting infamy crown the
folly of stinting our Agricultural Col
lcges, the hope and the glory of oul

The Treasury TangIe.

The muddle in our State Treasury
is destined to be one of the worst and
most lasting. One would think It
simple enough if the ex-Treasurer can
not repay the deficit, TO force his bonds
men to do so.
In the Hemingway matter, IL will
soon be found, that the property be
transferred to pay this shortage will
not begin to do 1t. We are informed
that he owes largely on much of It, and
where this is not for = part of the
purchase money, he has mortgaged It.
He was so long In office, that he has
made four, aud possibly five, different
bonds. Under these circumstance.
which bondsmen will the State sue 10
recover the deficit? The State cannot
make bondsman of years ago liable
for a shortage that occurred recently.
nor recent bondsman liable for an
old shortage. Thus il will devolve on
the State to unravel this tangle. and If
1t is equal to 1t, with good, pious
lawyers trying to keep It tangled, she
eau do more than we hope for.-Com-

ERRORS In BLACK.

In recent interview Senator But
Ter of South Carolina advanced views
on the race question of which the fol-
lowing is paragraph:
"Now, as to the industrial evils, |
maintain that there Is too much cheap
labor in the South II is a disadvan-
tagc to the laborer himself and dis
advantage TO the einployer. If, for in
stance, one-half the negro labor were
to move out of South Carolina, the re-
naming half, energized and stimula-
ted by the greater demand and better
wages, would accomplish as much as
the entire mass. You may ask why
not pay better wages to the negroes
The answer is they are not worth
more than they receive. 1t would not
pay to give them better wages. They
would not earn them"
Just why ten negroes would be more
"encrgized' by an offer of better wages
than twenty--is a Dundrearyism. The
average negroes, In thick or thin set
Elements, do not work beyond their
actual bodily needs. Did they respond
to acqulsitivc promptings like the
whites, there would be no race problem.
Over go years ago English politicians
aud economists were wrestling over
the question of emancipation and its
entails. Macaulay, one of the leading
emancipationists, replied to a question
as to the industrial effect of freedom
on the negro, by saying that in 100
years of freedom the blacks would be
the equal in thrift and industry of the
English farm laborers. Carlyle viewed
the subject differently. Sixty years of
Macaulay's century has passed, and Car
lyle has been verified. The English
West Indies are ruined In agriculture,
hopeless of future and far gone on
the road to barbarism.

jackson. Miss. March 1.-THE joint
legislative treasury investigating COM
mittee concluded its investigation and
is nov engaged in preparing its report
to the Governor. 1t is definitely
learned that the report will show the
salae deficit, SS15,61219, as that OF X
C. Patty, of the commission, which was
filed with the governor Saturday, but
has not yet been made public. Ex-
Treasurer Hemingway was seen by
your correspondent to-day and stated
that he had nothing TO say until after
the reports were made public. The
deficit ia Just what the face of the re-
port shows, with the addition Of the
six DAYS business in January, from the
LIST to the 9th, and which is not inclu-
ded in the report, it being only made
10 January Ist. Ex-Treasurer Hem
ingway is still confident that the re-
pert Is wrong and that the balance
shown due thereon is false and in
correct one aud that q thorough and
expert investigation would reveal the
fact. He was before the committee
to-day and was examined at length.
Mr.. Hemingway is severely trying
the public intelligence by his mere
iteration of error. Saying that a
@lhorough and expert investigation
would reveal the fact at the close OF
three weeks inspection of his books
by committees and commissioners and
experts, with every opportunity ex-
tended him and his banker friends to
balance them, reads like All attempt,
stupid as desperate, at mystiiicatlon.
There Is no right or sense in mincing
truth or terms in this case. 1t is in
deed paltering with justice aud duty
to shirk candour in the treatment Of
so great wrong to the people of Mis-
slssippi. Mr.. Hemingway has had
ample time and full facility in which
to elucidate his accounts. 1t Is
qualification to suppose that the
condition of the treasury has not
been known TO him as It now
appears for months, probably years.
1t is double qualification to suppose
that If 1t were mere matter 0! book
keeping tangle, he would not have had
the occult spell lifted long before his
successor was officially inducted. No
other conclusion can be reached than
that this Is just such o case as those
which have disgraced Tennessee and
other States have sent Tate and Burke
on their foreign travels, that Vincent is
expiating in the Alabama penitentiary.
Similarly the law officers Of Missis-
sippi have but to execute the process
of law against her ex-treasurer. This
is all that is left in palllation of the
shame. Condoning the crime would be
the very depth of degradation, would
be greater loss to the State than the
stolen funds. Mississippi hadn't much
pecuniary reputation before. This
deadly blow at her character by one
whom she most trusted, is being hand
led far too gingerly by the press.
