CHARGED WITH MURDER.
DR.. Davis Arrested on This Charge
Other Arrests.

DR.. w, Il. Davis, the negro physl-
clan, was arrested late Friday night.
charged with the murder of Mrs. Lulu
Burr. notice Of whose death under Pc
culiar circumstances was made in the
Gazette several days ago Mrs. Bouler,
who lives at the Caddo hotel was ar

AFFAIR, and released under bond of
500. There Is also n warrant out for
the arrest OF Mrs. Burr's husband, Ir-
Win H. Burr. who left here the morning
OF her death, ustenslbly TO 60 to cle-
burne to procure money with which 10
bury his dead wife. Friday after
noon County Attorney Terrell and AS
slstnnt Orr told Gazette reporter
there We're no warrants sworn out for
the arrest of the above parties and
they didn't know whether there would
be.
The circumstances OF Mrs. Burr's
death were such as to warrant an au-
topsy. which was ordered. and the re-
suit Of which was published In the
Gazette. Everything went to prove
that there had been an abortion per-
formed. The authorities waited several
days. however, before doing anything
further. They said they had Davis al
ready under bond and could get Burr
whenever they wanted him.
DIR. Davis was the attending physi-
clan during Mira Burra Illness. when
seen by reporter at the Jail he con-
! siderci the whole thing a farce. and
said the miscarriage had been commit
ted before he ever saw the patient.
Burr's actions since his wlfe's death
have directed suspicion toward him,
and the officers are on the lookout for
/ him.
This maRea two charges against DR..
! Davis, though the first one Il not sc
serious as the latter. Justice Adams

be guilty or the crime with which he Is
charged. II would be next 10 Impossible,

st. Louis. Mo-, March 50.-George Rob
lnson OF Bayse & Robinson of this CITY,
returning from trip through the
Southern states, states that never be-
fore has such a disposition been shown
by the planters to diversity their crops.
In Mississippi and Louisiana, in fact
in all sections. planters are preparing
during the coming season to raise their
own corn. oats, millet and hay, and TO
ratten their own hogs for consumption
Much less cotton will spe put in, and
more OF the necessaries of life. This
means planters will be enabled to spend
less money for these articles and more
for canned goods, fancy groceries, dry
goods. boots. shoes. millinery. farming
implements, vehicles and other lines
which ST. Louis is so well equipped to
supply.
y letter to Mr.. Robinson from prom
inent merchant and planter at Long
wood, Miss, states that the latter Is
putting in another crop. but with plenty
Of feed and breadstuff and almost
enough meat to carry him through
Another planter in the Red river Sec
tlon. who annually ships $500 bales OF
cotton. writes Mr. Robinson that ne
intends the coming season TO produce
his own corn. oats and other feed, and
to raise his own meats. depending upon
other markets only for his flour and
luXuries.
This change in the buying capacity
Of the South Is expected TO decrease
the shipments from this market of
grain and heavy provisions, but the
loss will be more than compensated
for by the increased demand for lighter
groceries and food Injuries. clothing

They ignored the financial .estiot
altogether, simply because neither lac

prompted no doubt by that fear of an
honest committal on principle. whicl,
is the characteristic of all politicians
scheming for place. This action on al
sides may be accepted as IN indication
that the national platform W i'll also b.
non-committal or a straddle on the fl
nances. The great commercial, finan
cial and conservative elements OF thi.
county want sound money, and d
government with an unimpeachabI,
solvent credit, whiah is not TO be tiuc
tuating. If the National Democratic
Convention adopts platform with
sound money on a gold. basis, using
all the silver possible to keep at par, ii
will sweep the country and CONTINUE
to hold the reigns of government
otherwise il is doomed to defeat. We
do not believe any party can elect "a

REGRET.

We are sorry to see movement on
foot to start new paper in Senate 5ia
in opposition to the North Mississippi
Democrat edited by f. I. Raiford who
is young man of rare ability and con
sentative principles of which any peo-
Pile might well be prond. 1t is claimed
he does not reflect the sentiment of mis-
county because he is u sound money
man. His paper is the only one in the
county and he has literally offered
the opposition the use of his columns
to discuss the free silver issue and II
has been accepted and SO used. Only
one good paper can be maintained on a
respectable and profitable basis in the
average county and we cannot see the
necessity in this instance in starting
another paper, especially as both are
to be democratic we presume. RaifOrd
is as brave as lion however, and a.
true as steel to his convictions which
time will vindicate, and like him too
we would stand by them il only we
alone were left. Obstinacy is repre-
hensible, but convictions for which II
man can give valid reasons is com
Men influenced by reason
are liberal minded, but being sure they
are RICH go ahead, regardless OF ob
,tacles.
