A Terrible Deed Followed by Terrible
PunishmeNt.

Ben jackson, q colored man Of Mon
roe County, Miss, had q difficulty
recently with Mr.. Thomas Woodruff, a
white man Of the same neighborhood,
and Ben having given bond for his
appearance at court, he thought he
would get Mr.. Woodruff out Of the way
rs he would be the chief witness against
him. To do this, he poisoned Mr..
Woodruffs we'll with three boxes of
Rough on Rats. Very soon Mr.. Wood
ruff was taken very sick and so were
his five children, two of them died, and
the rest are sick even now. Lou Carter
was hired to nurse the children, but she
refused to drink the water from the
we'll, which made everybody sick that
drank it. The neighbors becoming
suspicious that the water was poisoned,
had their suspicious satisfied, as print
ed label was drawn from the we'll,
marked Rough on Rats. The clue to
the mystery was clear, and at once the
water in the we'll was drawn off, when
three boxes Of Rough on Rats was
found at the bottom, some Of it wholly
dissolved, and others yet in a more
solid condition. Ben jackson the
instigator had already been hung by
tho people Of the neighborhood, and
finding his wife Mahaly and Lou Carter
and Rufus Broyles, who furnished the
money with which to buy the poison,
all privy to the dark and damnable
deed, were all strung up by the neck,
not all at the same time Or place, but
in the sequal, the whole tour paid the
penalty of their crime by being hung
without Judge or jury. It was terri
BILE punishment. but it was terrible
crime, and We can but regret such
dismal occurrences. This al. happened
in tho northeastern part Of Monroe
county.

The accounts reaching us Of the
forest fires Of Northwestern Wisconsin,

The accounts reaching us Of the
forest fires Of Northwestern Wisconsin,
are almost appalling. tits pine coun-
try, and the straw is not only dry as
parchment, but naturally very inflama-
bic. Before high winds which are &C.
CELEBRATED by the raging flames which
lap up the green foliage Of living trees
as we'll as dry straw on the ground,
sweeping away in their devastating
march houses, barnes and tenements,
while the frightened people run for
their lives before the onward wall OF
fire which follows rapidly after them.
OF all forest fires, pine timberfurnishes
the most ready and most imhamable
material. In our early life in South
western Georgia, we witnessed scenes
similar to those VIC are now describing,
when thousand negro men from ada.
cent plantations were cutting down the
timbers TO arrest the fierce flames.
The loss of life does not seem great,
but the loss Of property is beyond esti'
mate just now. If the burnt pine trees
die, the loss TO the State will be meal
culable. Populous towns may be swept
out Of existence, while the heat and
dense smoke may destroy many lives In
the we'll settled portions Of the State o.
Wisconsin. Unless heavy rain falls
there is no hope Of relief. Some idea
of the terrible judgment which befell
the plain OF Shinar in the days Of Abra
ham and Lot, may be formed from
these terrible forest fires of Wisconsin

M1sslss1PPI's LIQUOR Law.
Bishop Galloway seys Liquor h ssid n
! Possibly Only Ten Places in the State. $

J8CkHOu CldElOueAcV8or.J 9&!& A836t9ly7 &l32tissd
There is q good deal Of inquiry Ia
different parts Of the country as TO the
actual working Of the Mississippi laws
for the abridgement and suppression Of
the liquor traffic. On that subject no
one is more competent to speak than
Bishop Galloway. As one Of the fore-
most citizens of that commonwealth,
and as the ardent, intelligent and con-
slant advocate Of prohibition, he is en-
titled to be heard. The following let-
ter is Of such interest that we give it q,
prominent place:
1T will be gratifying to friends Of
the legal suppression OF the liquor
traffic to know that the cause makes
constant and intelligent progress in
this commonwealth. Our step has
been steady, If not as quick as all have
desired, and some have lamented. Ev-.
cry year has marked an advance In
sentiment, and every amendment to
our liquor law has frightened the stat
ute and made it more effectively pro-
hibitory. So drastic is our present
measure and so potential has been its
influence as already to make this al
most an absolutely prohibition State.
OF the seventy-five counties In Misc
issippi, Intoxicating liquors are sold In
only ten. And the indications are
that in the next few months the num-
ber will be reduced to five. And In
the ten counties still in the small wet
column, liquor is sold in possibly only
ten places, and those are towns sum-
ciently large to have police protection.
The large county of Kinds, with the
State Capital and twelve towns, has
only three saloons, and they are in the
city of jackson. One OF those will
close in three weeks, and the others
are doomed. The villages and country
places are now entirely rid Of these
dreadful storm centers of crime and
vice. ..[S
"Under our new Constitution, with
its educational qualification upon the
suffrage, we have not lost single local
option election. Every contest has
been q victory. One county after an
other is swinging into line for the COM
plete overthrow Of this gigantic:evil.
Over in the delta, where prohibitio on sen
timent was formerly too weak for organ
ization, and had no heart or hope for
battle, we have recently gained four
wealthy counties, and out OF that cor
nucopia of the South will soon drive
every groggery.

STOCK RAISING.
One Of Mississippi's NJ ost Prosperous In
dustries.

A Mississippian who takes the live
liest interest in the progress Of his
State, whether his personal welfare is
or is not Immediately involved, said
recently that one of the most gratifying
indications that he had observed was
the rapid development of stock. raising
referring to the breeding Of I'LL kinds
of domestic animals. 1t was unques'
tionable that horses, mules, cattle, hogs
and sheep could be bred here at less
cost than in the West, and farmers in
all portions OF the State were proving it.
Every year saw en- increased area de-
voted to these pursuits and those who
followed them were making money.
Mississippi was natu: al grass State.
Bermuda grass and lespedeza would
flourish anywhere, and the latter espec-
tally was redeeming fields worn out
years ago. It throve and gave luxu-
RANT pasturage where nothing else
would grow, enriching the soil and fill
Ing up every washout. Beef and NUT
ton fattened on these grasses were eX-
ceptionally fine favored and they af-
forded pasturage fully eight months In
the year. Feedstutfs, 1t was found,
could be grown in greater variety here
than in tho West, and hogs were being
raised and fattened at q cost per pound
that would surprise tho Western farm
er, who was at a great disadvantage In
in these respects. He predicted u great
influx Of stock-growers from the West
in consequence Of these conditions, 80
soon as they began to feel Southern
competition in one Of their leading In.
dustries, which at the present rate 81
progress would not be long delayed.
There was more than living profit In
the difference between q long, severe
winter and short, mild one, to say
nothing Of the cheap feedstufs grown
here that we're unknown In Northern
latitudes.
The most notable instances OF this
change in agricultural pursuits were
observable in the prairie counties
These lands were no longer well adapt
ed to cotton and the farmers were rails

WHITE CAPS IN MISSISSIPPI.

The temperance of the white caps
in various portions of Mississippi sug-
gests that the officials Of the affected
counties should go to the utmost length
to extirpate them. Gov. Stone has
shown his willingness to do everything
in his power to help In the work. and
the success Of the courageous Judge
Chrisman in his bailiwick Is q fine ex-
ample of what may be done. It does
little good to call out the military:
The better way is for the sherths OF
the counties where white cap outrages
occur to take the matter In hand and.
with the assistance of the citizens Of
the counties, themselves suppress this
strong form Of lawlessness. 1t can
only Be utterly extinguished by. such
manipulation Of local public sentiment.
II the white caps are allowed to con-
tinue in any given locality, people who
are desirous Of living In peace ana
safety must leave it. The evil Is as
difficult to stamp out a. the Canada
thistle, but it may be done II county
officials will proceed to the work ag-
rressively, Now that the white caps
have gone to intimidating farmers, and
thereby interfering with business, we
mpy see to what extent the mischief
may develop. those who have posted
threatening notices on the ginhouses
are probably miscreants who own no
cotton themselves, but who delight In
terrorizing for terrorization's sake;
Wherever the malady breaks out-and
It Is a kind Of malady-the county COM
missioners should spare no expense to
overcome 1t. The public peace is %
imperiled that the evil cannot be tot
erated.-Men,ph;s Appeal Avalanche.
