In lettor to Capt +. G. Carroll, Of
Vicksburg, Senator George, IN declining
70 reconsider his decision to become .
candidate TO succeed himself, says:
"As you know. I have been actively
engaged In politics since and even In
cluding the era OF reconstruction. TO
every election in which there was a
serious contest i have given such time
and labor as tho public interest seemed
70 demand. IN circumstances will per-
nit my service In the Senate TO the end
OF my present term, / will have served
IN that body for longer period than
/ any other person has served from this
State. / will then have entered into
my seventy-third year, certainly an age
at which men usually give thought az
to how they will NAL D their entrance
into tho next world rather than TO
schemes for gratifying their ambition
In this.
II do not say that no man should
serve In public Office for a later period
In his own life than / have fixed as
proper for my public service To cease; yet
/ claim that the example Of one OF our
greatest statesmen, Matt Ransom OF
North Carolina, who resigned bis place
in the Senate when he reached the age
OF threescore and tea, still being In
perfect health and vigor, we'll justihes
me in declining to seek a now term to
commence when / shall be two years
older than the age fixed by him for re-
tirement At that ago men-howeYer
vigorous in mind and body; however
equipped for future useful service-may
well be excused for desiring to retire
from the personal strifes AMI contests
Of active political life and The cares and
anxieties OF official station.
II have reached the conclusion herein
stated after much serious reflection. In
doing this / overcome a natrral desire
to take an official part in emsucipating
the people from that condition. OF disas-
ter and distress into which tie folly,
not TO say the wickedness, OF our fnan-
cial legislation, following similar ac-
tion in Germany and preceding and in
ducing similar action in France, has
placed them. That emancipation is
sure to come at some time, but it cannot
come before my successor must be elect
cd, and may not come during the official
life which remains 70 me. II i had
thought my longer continuance In Office
was at all necessary 70 consummate, or
even TO hasten, the emancipation, /
would not have willingly abandoned
the field in which my services would In
that view be needed"

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A Triple Tragedy.

News comes from Toomsuba, In the
eastern part Of Landerdale County, Of a
triple killing at Kewanee, small sta
ton on the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad The parties to the unfortu-
nate affair were Ben and Allen PrinQle.
brothers, aged respectively, 27 and IS
years, and James Britton, aged 80 years.
AZ IL reported that the parties met on
the farm OF Henry Smith, adjoining
their own promises, we'll armed, when
an old quarrel was renewed and one OF
the Pringle boys shot Britton in the
bowels, mortally wounding him. Brit
ton then shot both Of the Pringles, kill
Ing them instantly.
The difficulty is understood TO have
had Its origin in bitter controversy
between Britton and the Camp brothers,
proprietors OF the neighborhood grist
mill, about some 80 cents worth OF meal
two or throe years ago, and about which
one Of the Camp boys was killed by a
young man named Spinks shortly after
ward.
Britton had charged the Camps with
taking too much toll from his corn, and
the controversy between them over the
matter became so acrimonious that the
whole neighforhood became involved in
the trouble, the Camp and Britton ad-
herents being about evenly divided.
Britton and Camp finally carried their
quarrel into the courts, where after an
expense OF several hundred dollars for
court costs, lawyers fees, etc. to say
nothing Of the lost time and bad blood
engendered, verdict vas reached in
favor OF Camp.
Still, 1t seems the matter remained
unsettled, and IL was apparent to many
that serious trouble would ensue be-
tween the two factions.
Another report Of the killing says It
occurred about a dividing line between
Britton and Pringle's. There was a pair
OF bars across the lane, and these had
been torn down. The three men met at
this place and the Pringle boys accused
Britton OF having torn the bars away,
whereupon Britton denounced the
charge as lie and started over the |
fence toward them. They warned him
not to come on their side OF the fence,
but he climbed to the top, when be was
shot by Ben Pringle. Britton returned |
the fi-e, the ball missing Ben. but i'm
bedding itself in the brain Of his
brother Allen, who stood about twelve
feet in the rear, killing him instantly.
Ben Pringle continued to fire, but ball /
from Britton's pistol entered his right
side under the arm, and he fell face
downward at Britton's feet, who sent
another ball through his neck. The
men exchanged four shots each.
The burial OF the Pringle brothers
took place at the country cemetery a
few miles from Kewanee Station. The
appearance at the grave, in the midst Of
an exceedingly large concourse OF peo-
pie, Of the aged mother OF the dead men
and the young wife of Allen Pringle,
almost frantic with grief, presented a
spectacle that was narrowing to the
hearts Of every one present.

THOUSANDS FOR AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
A Township Assessor i'm Warren Coun-
ty Adopted the Pollard scheme.

In speaking of his recent trip in regard
to a clients claim against Mound town.
ship, in Warren county, Mayor Denny yes
terday disclosed state of affairs which is
somewhat surprising in this day of en-
lightenment. Several years ago man
named Glenn was elected trustee of Mound
township. 1t is a small township. with
not more than $500, 900 of taxables Glen
was a Democrat and the township was
strongly Republican, but Glenn was looked
upon as an honest old farmer, whom the
people thought could do no wrong. He was
reelected twice, and 1t was in his thirds
term that crookedness developed. The cit
liens became suspicious and asked an in
Vestigation by the County Commissioners,
who. on examination of the trustees af-
fairs removed him from office and ap-
pointed Republican to succeed him. While
Glenn was serving his third term he bought
six sets of a paper-backed edition of Cnam-
bers's Encyclopedia, which Mayor Denny
thinks could be bought in any book store
in town for less than $25, issuing for them
township orders to the amount of several
thousand dollars The exact amount has
never been ascertained for more orders
are constantly appearing. He also bought
a lot of book racks to be attached to the
school desks, such as could be secured for
about $40 a Dozen and issued several thou
sand dollars in warrants for them. The
entire amount of Illegal warrants is cs-
the warrants or orders. were made pay
able at a future date, and the payee trans
ferred them to some innocent purchaser.
Two suits hare already been brought by
persons holding the warrants, but without
success in either case The township al
ready had an Indebtedness equal 10 the
constitutional limit. The State law says
a trustee shall not issue an order IL he
has not the money hand to pay 1t,
without the consent of the County Com
missioners. There is no record in the Office
of the commissioners of Warren county
showing that Glenn had ever even asked
the authority to issue orders in excess of
the cash on hand. Mayor Denny was salts
fled as soon as he heard the statement of
a Coyington attorney that there was no
chance for him to collect anything for his
client, but still he made an examination
of the records, with the result stated.
