rald despairingly. "The murderer had
tried to fire the pistol and failed"
'It is more evidence against the mur-

We went into the house, where he
examined my box Of clues long and
carefully. Looking at the ring, he
asked whether there was jeweler in
this village. and l said there was not.

his closet two overcoats, an old black
frock coat, a pair of pepper-and-salt
trousers, and two black vests. Mr.. Dix
examined all the buttons; not one was
missing.
There was still another old suit in
the closet off the kitchen. This was
examined, and no button found want

"What did your father do for work
the day before he died?" he asked then.

down from Vermont and done some
work out in the garden.

Anse Cleaned Up Burkitt in Simpson.
Correspondence of Democrat-starl

correspondence OF DehOCrat-sturl
WEsTvILLE, SIMPSON COUNTY. MISS
September ,, 1895.
This was a glorious day for the Dem
ociacv of old Simpson. A thousand peo-
pie came here 10 hear the discussion he
tween Hon. A. J. McLanrin aud Capt.
Frank Burkitt opposing candidates tor
Governor OF Mississippi. There was no
house ! rye enough in the town to hold
the crowd and the speaking took place
in the grove neal the residence Of Mr.. J.
W. Bishop. The discussion occupied
about three hours aud twenty minutes.
The result was Il complete victory OF
truth over falsehood Of patriotism over
dcnagOgmism ard of manliness over mean-
mesa. With all his cheek aud reckless
disregard Of truth, Bnrkitt showed
thu, HI was badly used up. His APP
plause fr~m his populiIe friends were
faint aud few compared with the long
und ~deatening applause Of McI-aurn.
As an evidence Of the result Of The dis.
c%ussion. l will give yUu some OF the re-
marks hea,d after the speaking:
"Anse cleaned mp Burkitt 10 nicely"
~ never heard such n lambastiug in
all my life as Burkitt got"
''Anse set Bnrkit on lire, svre."
"Bm kits argument was mostly in
abuse Of the Denocrutic party"
II really ielt sorry for Burkitt.'
"Enrkirt had just us o . say one thing
US another"
"Burkitt is u dangerous man with Il
certain class and needs watching where.

IL lever saw Burkitt before and I got
a good look Ut him aud that Satisfied me
what kind of u man he H."
Burkilt is u despOt over his gang and
he makes them wait on him aud trans.
port him from place to place. The Pop
ulits who went to the railroad for him
Said, l reckon Burkitt wished lie was a
hundred miles from here while Anse was
speaking"
Another Populite said af the speaking,
well, boys, | think it's best for rs tu
stick together IN the Democratic party
and ! am going to do it aud vote the
Democratic ticket"
Another POpulite and caudidate for
county office said, 'Burkltt has done
more harm than good by coming here"
It Inns been well said that "high places
IN government like the cliffs IN the rOcl
are only acceptable to the eagle and rep
tile"
McLanrin could essay to revert the
good of his ambition by bold, tair and
open means, while Burkitt's instincts
would prompt him TO choose the simon,
course Of the reptile aud crawl through
the filth and slime that confronted him
He has the sinful ambition to rule ~

FALSE STORY.
Nj. Davis Paid His Debts and Was not Kin
to Grant.

In answer to recent stories concern
Ing the late x President Davis, the
New Orleans Plcayune contains this
letter:
Biloxi, Miss, September 3, 1885,
Editor Picayune: In the Picayune of
the second / saw what seemed a des-
patch dated September l, which,
mentioning the death Of Mr.. Payne,
said he was a lifelong friend of JEFF.
fersOn Davis, and that Mr.. Davis
owed him 800, 900, which he forgot to
pay. 1t Is an infamous falsehOOd, as
Mr.. Davis never borrowed a cent from
Mr.. MI. NJ. U. Payne in his life, and
never borrowed a dollar which he did
not repay. The lie told in the Omaha
despatch Is made absurdly ridiculous
in the further statement that Mr..
PAYNE was sent for and came to New
Orleans when Mr.. Davis died to preach
his funeral sermon. My impression
is, the Mr.. Payne mentioned was not
a minister; he certainly was not sent
for, nor did he come to the funeral of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis. The absurd
story OF the kinship published In
some Northern paper of Jefferson
Davis and U. s. Grant has not the
slightest foundation of truth. There
was not the rcm0test relationship.

BIAUvoIR AS A SOLDIERS HOME.

Mrs, A. McKimbrough, OF Green
wood, Miss. paid the editor Of the
DEMoCRAT-STAR a visit last Monday.
She was accompanied by her husband,
Capt. A. McKimbrough, and the OBJ
ject OF the lady's visit was to have us
advocate through the columns OF the
DEMoCRAT-STAR the purchase, by
the State Of Mississippi, Beauvoir,
the home of the immotal Jefferson
Davis, and have it converted into a
home for INDECENT Confederate SOL
diers.
With all due respect for the lady
and the noble and unselfsh love and
devotion displayed by her in an effort
to provide Il home for the Southern
soldiers OF our State, who escaped the
dread perils Of four years Of bloody
strife, and whose valOr w0n the
admiration OF the civilized world,
we sincerely regret that our sense Of
duty to the taxpayers OF the State
compels us TO decline To support the
scheme, which seems 50 dear to her
heart.
We arrive at this conclusion after
much thought, and there are many
reasons for the stand we take, but
to enumcrate them all would consume
to much time and space. Mrs. Davis
demands the su OF $25, 900 for the
Beauvoir property ; it would require at
least $4,000 for putting 10 in q cOndi-
tion for the purpose intended. There
is $40 900 right there. 1t would then
require a keeper for the home, furn-
lshing the same, incidental expenses,
etc, would neccssitate an outlay Of
$40, 900 or $4,000 yearly, providing all
the old soldiers who are in destitute
circumstances would accept the home
as a refuge in their declining years,
and we are inclined to the believe that
but few OF u surviving comrades
would take advantage OF the benefits
OF such institution as contemplated
In such an event the property wOulC
be an elephant, SO to speak, to thu
State.
With a depleted treasury, the State
House sadly out OF repair, which nee
essitate the building of a new one, ant
all of the many educational and Othel
institutions to be cared for the State
is unable to purchase the property in
question and maintain 1t as a soldiers
home. Let the Legislature by some
means increase their pensions a little,
If possible, that they may remain
at their homes until the State Is bet
ter able to provide for them.
We revere tli memory of Jefferson

for his widow and daughter and those
