JUDGE TAYLOR TO REMAIN.

Considerable uneasiness has been
felt because of rumor that Judge r.
). Taylor was about to be displaced
from he River Commission. The
Vicksburg Board of Trade, which pre-
sented petition on the subject has
been officially assured that the presi.
dent has no intention of making q
change in the personnel of The com.
mission, and the knowledge that
Judge Taylor will be retained will be
gratifying 10 his many admirers and
friends in this district. He Is recog.
nized as being one of the abIest and
best informed men of the commission
and a pronounced friend to the leyee
system and the lower Mississippi dis
trlct. His presence on the commission
is of especial Importance to us at this
time, Rs no man understands our needs
and the merits of our case moro per.

american Pluck,

There is nowhere visible finer ex.
ample of oId-fashloned American
pluck and industry than that pre-
sonted by the farmers and planters
III the lower Mississippi Valley,
whose lands were recently swept by
the tireat flood; These undaunted
victims of misfortune are already
at work restoring their devastated
farms; vast areas but lately covered
first with the waters and then with
the debris of the angry freshet, have
been reclaimed aud are ngain smiling
with tho tender verdure of budding
corn aud cotton, and the whole vast
region, which only few weeks ago
seemed like hopeless desolation, is
once more sunny garden rich in
lis promise of harvest returns. For
the grit and energy with which they
have met the results of the destruct
i've overflow, and for the cheerful
ness, confidence aud success with
which they have undertaken the task
OF rebuilding their wrecked estates,
the people OF the food-swept region
are deserving of all praise. They
are Americans of the true sort, ana
no disaster can keep them DOWN..

BRAKEMAN INJURED.
Tom Keith Colored, Was Bruised Up on
 the Birmingham Mineral Near Taeoa Late Last Night.

Last night an extra freight train pulled by engine 1004 on the Mineral railroad met with an accident near Tacoa. The train broke in two, and brakeman Tom Keith, a colcred man, was injured.
 The accident occurred about mid night, and the report received in the city did not state exactly how the man was hurt. It was said that in some manner he fell from the car and was bruised up. His ankle was mashed and he -uaas, otherwise injured.
 The Warner-Smiley company's ambu lance was called fer 1 o'clock, but the train did not arrive at that hour. He will be brought in as early as possible this morning.
