Mrs. Bell. who was nearly sixty years

Judge Tebbs heard the Herndon con.
tested election case in the County Court
Monday. The petition was filed by
fifteen voters of that town, asking that
the election of councilmen, sergeant
aud clerk held in last May be
vacated for irregularity. A motion
was made by the contestees to dismiss
the petition on the ground that the
court has no jurisdiction as to elections
in towns of less than 5000 inhabitants.
Judge Tebbs dismissed the petition,
holding that there can be no contest in
the county court except as to county
and district officers, and that the coun-
Gil Of small town is the Judge of the
election returns and qualification of its
members. The case was argued for
the petitioners by Messrc z. E. Mere

Lxnched by a Mob.

JACKSON, Miss, juno 25.-A negro
named Moses. who killed John Strong,
farmer, near Crystal Springs, Miss, a
few days ago, and who was arrested
yesterday and confined in Jail, was
hanged by mob there at $50 o'clock
this morning. The negro had been
guarded by 100 armed men since yes
terday and two calls for troops from
this place had been sent, but owing to
the fact that it was impossible to es-
tablish communication with the COVER
nor who is in Woodville. the troops did
not start in time to be of service.
The mob then started in search for a
negro preacher who had sworn that
the murderer had spent the day on
which Mr.. Strong was killed at his
house and knew he (Moses) was not
the guilty person. He swore to de.
liberate lie and the mob caught him
and gave him an unmerciful whipping
for false swearing.

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE % 1897.
In HIS late admirable speech at Nash
vile. Judge Reagan said


Whatever may have been said in
the past in defense of the institution OF
slavery, and whatever may now be
thought of the means by which it was
abolished in this country, the spirit OF
the present age is against it, aud it has
passed away, aud l suppose no one
wishes its restoration"
That the Judge in saying this correct
expressed the feelings of nearly all
the ex slave owners in the South Is well
recognized by them and by all who
know them; but it is no less true that
they know the negroes of the South are
neither as we'll fed, clothed and housed,
nor as healthy, moral and happy as
were those OF the old slave days, when
they were without care for either them.

their masters, from selfish motives alone
