HON. JAMES 5. MADISON.
The Faithful Legislator Answers to the
Last Roll Call


BROOKSvILLE, Miss, Dec. % Ion.
james S. Madison, died at his home,
four miles from this place last night,
and will be buried here tomorrow even
ing. His death, supposed to have been
caused by apopleXy. was wholly uneX-
pected, and has cast a gloom over this
entire section of the country. for Mr..
Madison was highly esteemed by all
friends and neighbors. His home life
was most pleasant, having an interest
| ing family, and sufficient means to
provide their every want, which he did
in the most lavish manner; and of his
abundance he also gave freely for the
relief of the widow, the orphan an the
distressed.
His funeral will be one of the largest
ever witnessed in the county.
| Mr.. Madison was a native of Marengo
county, Ala. where he was born March,
| 1884. His parents were natives of South
Carolina. They removed to LowndeS
county, this State, in 1850, and thence
to NoXubee county, in 1850 James S.
was one of a family of ten children. In
1876, he married Miss Nettie Carpen-
ter. He was a large and very success
full planter. He served in the State
troops, under Col. VIM. S. Patton, and
at the close of the war was elected a
justice of the peace. He was mem
Der of the lower House of the Legisla-
ture from 1886 to date. At the session
of 1891, he was chosen speaker by ac-
clamatiOn, and made capable and
courteous presiding officer. He was al
industrious legislator, and deservedly
had great influence. He was the au
thor of the pension law, the laws to
equalize land assessments, the law re-
quiring chancery clerks to keep ledger
accounts with each public officer, and
was noted for his vigilance when APP,
preparation bills were pending. He
was necessarily very prominent in all
public affairs in his own county, hav.
ing been president of the Noxubee
County Farmers Alliance. He was a
man of great physical proportions, his
weight being about $50 pounds.

fittings have come to the point
says the Kosciusko Star, 'that when
ever man is charged with heinous
crime, the expression is heard on all
sides that he will be cleared, that no.
body is ever convicted ofcapital crimes
in this State. There could be no com
mentary on our administration of jus
tice that should excite more genuine
alarm. If thieves are not punished
then property is not safe; if murderers
go free, all lives are in peril"

Some Interesting Information on the Sub
 ject of Self Slaughter.
 The latest idiotio freak in Jersey City is a suicide club It claims e5 members At the annual meeting the members arc to determine by lot which one IS to kill him. self. The slaughter house is to be Glendale woods, and the organization is to defray the funeral expenses and will do 1t cheer fully and gratefully undoubtedly if the or ganization survives. It is predicted that 1t will collapse the night of the annual ses- sion because of the absence of quorum. It Is alleged that the members are regard ed as sane by their friends.
 Robert Louis Stevenson presented the first picture of a suicide club. A some what similar organization was recently discovered in the Roumanian Military school at Crajova After five of the cadets had committed suicide by shooting them selves with revolvers an official inquiry disclosed the fact that there was among them a suicide club with 19 members The five cadets who had killed themselves did so in accordance with tho rules of the society. The members were bound by fearful oaths, and when the name of a AhOApSA was NioNh Dy iOV ilO N do iS4uAhSu to immediately kill himself.
 It is estimated that only about half tho cases of suicide ever get reported as such Criminals are of all classes the most ad- dioted to suicide, as tho figures prove. Of all philosophers who have written essays on the propriety of suicide only one ever acted on his own advice.
 Spring is the fashionable season for sul- eide, as it is also for love. More people kill themselves by day than by night. Sui cides also prefer the early part of the week, month or year. and of all the days in the year the first Monday of May is that upon which most suicides occur.
 Men kill themselves two or three times more frequently than women, except in Spain, where self destruction is common among women. Men in committing sui eide arc not supposed to do it so artistical ly as women, and not few make bun gle of the first attempt Of man who made several futile attempts to commit suicide it has been said that he could not kill himself to save his life.
