The Lee County Riot Dye,

The negro riot which caused such excitement last week is ended, and most of the rioters are in jail. Only two men were killed-William Pey- ton, who was shot while resisting arrest last Tuesday, and Ben Patter- son, the leader of the band, who was taken from Coroner F. Fl. Mills on the
 James Lee Wednesday night and shot. Fourteen men have been brought over and placed in jail here so far, but at the preliminary exami-
 nation six of them. Sam Murphy, Eli
 Pat erson. Mack Curry, Leonard Stay ton. John Davis and John Taylor were discharged for lack of evidence. They had only been talking too much.
 Charley Lloyd had his preliminary
 trial, and the evidence is that he was one of those who shot Miller. He
 was returned to jail, as were also Will Murphy, Joseph Simms and Robert White.
 The reports that were sent out from Helena in regard to the affair were
 very much exaggerated. They insist ed that nine men were taken from the
 officers and lynched. and then when 1 nine got too commonplace they raised the number to fifteen. What it ! mlEnl haNd been fl2d they continued l is a matter too full of doubt to be even l guessed at, There has been very lit 1 tie excitement here over the affair, l although great interest has been
 manifested in it. Much indignation
 is expressed against J. F. Frank, the Memphis cotton merchant who owns
 several Arkansas plantations and who
 was the prime cause of the trouble | Frank instructed his overseers to pay ! instead of 50 cents, which was the
 regular price, 60 cents and 75 cents ol
 even dollar if necessary, that he
 wanted his cotton picked and didh't
 care anything about the interests of
 the country. The two Jones boys
 who were the principal aet0gs in the
 murder of Miller, are still at large. II l IS thought they have managed tC
 cross the river-Marianna Index.

Poisoned by Scrofula

Is tue sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault ot their own.
 Scrosula is more especially than any a hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from impure and in sufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics. which are composed of white tissues; there Is a period of foetal life when the whole body consists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or ac- quired. It is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's powerful effect on the blood, OK pels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color of health. If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute.

Facts and Figures that Don't Lie.


All persons possessing common sense
are aware that an excessive consump-
ton of alcohol leads TO i'll health and
high rate of mortality. But many
are not convinced that even what is
called moderate indulgence tends to
lessen the duration of life. The
United Kingdom Temperance and
General Provident Institution, Lon
don, England, has two classes of in
surance, one for total abstainers and
another for temperate people who are
not total abstainers. All insurance
officers carefully avoid insuring the
lives of drunkards, or of those whom
they suspect to be inclined to over
indulgence. That of itself is sufficient
to show that the universal experience
of life offices is that alcoholic excess
means high rate of mortality. The
directors of the aforementioned in
,stitution at their last annual meeting
reported that for the total abstinence
section on the whole number of life
policies for every 100 claims estimated
to fall due by the actuary's tables
there had been only fitty.nine deaths,
but that in the general sectiOn-that
IS among those who drank in strict
moderation-t the deaths amounted to
SO out of the expected 100. There
fore, out of equal numbers of two lots
of insurers-total abstainers and tenn
perate men-the abstainers showed 40
per cent. better than the temperate

The Hon. b. F. Jones. of Pittsburg.
Penn. In the American Economist of
July 3, gives the following reasons
why he is a protectionist:
| am protectionist because our
country had prospered with protection
and laDguished without it.
Because revenue can more easily,
more surely and with less OBJ
lection be raised by judicious protee-
tive tariff laws than otherwise.
Because protection diversifies en-
ployment and largely relieves wage
earners from foreign competition,
thereby enabling them to be liberal
consumers as well as producers.
Because as has been demonstrated,
the effect of protection is the cheap
ening of product
Because defense against injurious
importations is as necessary and Jus.
tiiable as an army and navy.
Because til" theory Of free-trade
between nations is as fallacious, i'm
practicable and utterly absurd as Is
that of free love between families.
