A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
The Safe at J.P. Clayton'S Robbed and
Joseph Cook Kidnapped Or Killed.
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS STOLEN.
One OF the Most Deliberate Gases Of
Fsul Play on Record IL the Way II
Locks.

Jocsph Cook, employed as clerk and mana
ger ofthe store Of ?. Clayton, on Pasca-
goula street was found to be missing this
morning Thursday with no clue to his where
parture. When the store was first entered
this morning it was discovered that the desk
light had been burning all night and that the
rear door had remained open. Search for Mr..
Cook was without reward and still there is no
clue Of what became Of him. The appearance
Of things about the store presented nothing to
show that there had been a sculic or that muir
der, kidnapping or foul-play of any kind had
been committed. His coat and vest were there +;
also some business letters written by him and
an unfinished private letter was lying on the
desk. Investigating further, the cash drawer
was found in tact with nothing missing, but on
opening the safe il was found that it had been
robbed of between $500 and $1,000, together
with some valuable papers belonging to Mr..
Clayton. The keys to the safe, which were
always carried by Mr.. Cook, were found lying
upon the desk.
This is all that is known about the affair.
Was it murder, kidnap, or what'
Nothing induces Mr.. Clayton or those who
best knew Cook, to least suspicion that he stole
the money and fed, nor do circumstances point
that way. Owing to the relations existing be-
tween the two, the confidence heretofore re.
posed in Cook, and the fact that he
has property in his own name, the deeds Of
which were left in the safe, far exceeding the
amount missing, all lead to the conclusion that
he was foully dealt with.
The affair probably occurred between the
hours Of 10 and u; the front doors of the
store were closed about 10 and Cook remaining
at his desk writing, did not retire to his bed
room adjoining. DR.. A.. c. Timer, of Shubu-
ia, Miss, who is visiting Mr.. Clayton, was
sleeping in Cooks room, and knew nothing OF
the affair until discovered by the porter this
morning. Mr.. Clayton was greatly overcome
by the intelligence and mourns as dead hi.
nephew, Cook, believing that he was sandbsg-
ged and murdered by robbers. In this, he ha.
the s~incerest sympathy of all our people, who
are m~ystiticd and Mortified over the affair.
Mr.. Cook was a young man not 30 years O
age, and with Mr.. Clayton, came here from
Jasper county, Miss, where his widowed moth
er now resides. His department here was tina
of an exemplary Young man, moral, and duti
full to business, and enjoyed and appreciated
the utmost confidence placed in him by Mr.
Clayton. The affair will be fully Investigate,
by the authorities.

Editor Democrat Star:
Section 1910 Code 1892 reads thus: Gan the
horses, mules, oxen, wagons and plOws, over
two of each, belonging to persons not liable to
work ON the roads, and also of persons who are
liable to road duty, shall be liable, on the re-
QUESTION of the overseer of the district, to be
used on the roads not exceeding ten days." etc.
Section 1911 imposes a severe penalty on
any one refusing. The second clause in my
contract with the Board of Supervisors reads
thus "And whereas, the said NJ. A.. Dees,
then and there became and was the lowest and
best bidder for said contract, he agreeing ia
take the same in consideration of the work and
labor and the use of stock, implements, etc,
liable to road duty within the district, and
the sum of $4.75 in communication Of labor, etc,
which bid was by the said Board of Supervi-
sors in open session on the same day duly ac-
cepted."
Section 1890 Of Code gives to a contractor
the powers of overseers.
ANY one can refer to sections of Code and Ia
the contract now in the hands of the Clerk OF
the Board Of Supervisors and see that | quot,
all correctly.
So much in reference to the legality of the
tax on teams, etc. As it is teams and vehi.
clcs for which roads are made, | will not insult
the intelligence of your readers BY showing
that morally and equitably the owners of such
are the ones who ought to pay taxes to keel
the roads in repair. Respectfully submitted,

There is a disposition ON the
part of some radical Democrats
to reflect upon Delegate Tabler's
record whenever they can and
seek party glory for their own
side. In the Journal of Feb. g.,
on the bill to reduce the levy, Mr..
Tabler voted in favor of reduc-
ton and all through his vote has
been in the interest of the tax
payers. He was in a hopeless
minority and did what he could.
Every measure introduced by Re-
publicans was defeated or killed
by partisan amendments. The
records of many Democratic
leaders began with gas and end
ed in smoke. The best the Re-
publicans could do was to vote
against partisan legislation and
against further waste of the
peoples money. Mr.. Walker had
a large party majority at his
back but the records show abso-
lutely nothing from him. Though
we may differ much with Mr..
Parks views ON taxation, he la
bored earnestly for his side of the
question.
