A WRITER in an English weekly
draws attention to the superiority of
French over English laws in the case
of drunkards and spendthrifts. In En-
gland, as in this country, man may
pursue the most reckless courses and
dissipate not only his own property
but that of those dependent on him,
while the ones interested can obtain
no help from the law. In France the
spendthrift who endangers the well be-
ing of his family finds himself face to
face with the family council, which is
armed with full legal powers to put
him on an appropriate allowance and
manage his property.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A killing Near Dur.n..

For some time past tad blood has ex.
listed among some OF the citizens OF
Edsville neigh borhood, about seven
miles north OF Durant and last week
terminated In the killing OF Pearson
Lott, son OF A. G. Lott, by E G. Mat
thews.
Mr.. Matthews, who Is . merchant and
postmaster at Edsville, had some cows
Of A. G. Lott penned up for getting in
his fold, and claimed damages for the
corn destroyed by the cows. This Mr..
Lott refused to pay and carried the
matter to q Justices court. He with
his son Pearson, Constable Buckley, Mr..
Matthews and young man, Mr..
McAneer, who lives with Mr.. Matthews,
met in the road about half mile south
Of the postoffice, 1t seems, for the pur.
pose Of agreeing on certain OF their
neigh bors to be called in to assess the
damage done to the corn by the cows.
and then all were to come to Durant and
try the case before Squire Brock. II
seems, however, from the best informa-
ton obtainable, that just as the crowd
was breaking up a dispute arose be-
tween young Lott and McAnesr, an
old difficulty between them being re.
newed, in which Matthews took hand,
and after firing two shots at A. G. Lott
without effect turned and shot young
Lott through the heart, killing him in.
stantly. In the excitement Matthews
and young McAneer skipped out.
