TT BEGINS TO LOOK PLUKATIF.n

80 remarked a militiaman at an
"old Iicld' State muster in Wilkinson
county, Miss. preceding the formation
OF volunteer troops for service in the
Confederate army Just before the
breaking out Of hostilities in the war
between the States.
The colonel commanding was puz.
zled at the observation, and asked the
meaning OF the word '~'flukatif.n
III You are in front OF guns, Colon
el, when their triggers are pulled you
VIII find out what tiues are as soon as
the smoke comes out Of their muzzles;
1t was quite 'ilukatif' many times
when | was with jeff Davis the
Mexican war. 1T begins TO look
hukatit' was the ominous saying
whenever a battle was impending"
The interpolation may here apply to
invite the eXpreSsiveness of the SEN
tcnce to the attention and serious
consideration of all engaged in the
trust, syndicate, and general mOnopo-
~ business: for it surely begins to
look "ilukatif" in Texas and many
other fighting States and that triggers
are ''gwine to drap." -

Gov. McLaurin, in reply to Aliens
charges made in his speech in Lauder
dale county last week, denounced as a
liar and sIanderer the originator of
the story that he had promised to
pardon Two Miller should he be con
vlcted OF the murder of banker Nc.
Donald for the betrayal of his sister.
Mr.. Allen made the statement that
Judge Coleman, of the law firm Of
Coleman Il McClurg. Of Greenwood,
was his authority for the statement.
In another part OF the DEMOCRAT
STAR to-day the letter of Judge Cole
man is to be found. Judge Coleman
says in plain and positive language
that McLaurin did promise him to
pardon Miller before conviction. We
believe Judge Coleman will stand by
what he says. lie is a brave, cour-
ageOus man.

his ability is so pronounced that his

A betrayal of the people by any

Allen is proving the popular indict-

DR.. Hart Changed the Subject.

Judge AlonzO G. Mayors was sitting
under Il big tree in Brandon, Miss,
one fine day exchanging experiences
with DR.. Hart, the minister. and some
more of the folks Of Brandon, says an
exchange. Judge Mayors had Il circuit
which included twenty-seven counties

about them, to tell the truth. They
were quite long, but they were wide,
and the Judge made no attempt to
conceal the fact. DR.. Hart had very
small feet, and he was just as proud of
them as if be deserved any credit.
He had his boots made to order, and
kept them nicely polished, and other.
wise sought 10 direct attention to his
cute little feet.
This particular day while tie group
was sitting out under the tree at Bran.
don DR.. Hart said:
Judge that's a pretty fair under
standing you have there, isn't it9"
The court looked at the foot rather
admiringly and said:
Yes, that Is a pretty big foot.

"'Well,,. ! says, Isn't 1t true jack.

"'And he says, oh, that's true,

A SPORADIC CASE OF FEVER

New Orleans Times Democrat, May Both.
On Saturday the illness of Miss
Johanna GrillO, age seventeen years,
living at l2l7 Royal street, was report.
ed by her family physician to the city
health office, DR.. K%lnke as suspicious.
DR.. kOhnke at once sent Sanitary
Inspector Will to the house to disln-
feet it, and reported the case TO the
State Board of Health.
Miss GrillO died at 1 p, m. Sunday.
An autopsy was held by DR.. Archinard
the result OF which was laid before the
Board Of Experts, who yesterday, after
a consideration Of the matter, reached
the conclusion that the case presented
evidences of yellow fever.
Miss Grille was a native of New Or
leans, spent the lasttwo summers here
and was delicate. Nocase OF fever had
been reported either in 1897 or 1898
from The house in which she lived. and
no relation with any suspicious case
could be shown. The case is regarded
as Il unique one in medical history.
Under the agreement made with the
several Boards Of Health, the finding
of the Board of Experts was tele-
graphcd to them, and also the fact
that there was M other case in New
Orleans in any way suspicious.

his large audience, 1t contained no
bitter personalities or v%ituperation nor

fort OF a statesman, a scholar and a

or prejudice the intelligent audience.
His remarks calculated to re-estab-
lish the good old principles Of Jeffer-
s%0nian, Jackson, Lamar and Walthall
democracy, and he was rendered a most
enthusiastic reception. Coy. Lowry is

him to become a candidate for both

Editor Democrat-Star
Permit me to say a few words through
your columns in the name of common
fairness. Should the contemplated
beat line cutting Escatawpa off from
Moss Point and Scranton be establish
ed, it would work Il great hardship on
the northern portiOnOf beat ,. by vir-
tually delegating the balance Of DOW
er TO EScataWpa, as the majority of
the voters would then reside in the
latter place, whose interest is not tile
same as that Of the interior. Such as
cattle, sheep, hogs and horse raising,
with the growing enteypriSes-tur.
pentlne and farming, but to the CON
trary. E~Scatawpa is truly and purely a
a milling town.
The people Of beat two have not
called for such a change. neither do
they want it. Then why should the
Hoard act upon Il thing pertaining to
a beat, without being called upon by
said beat to do 81, The scheme is
branded as a political one. Why not
call off until beat two opens up her
arms, and say. come dear sister-the
people are thinking, Goodbye.

Capt Brawner is one of the most
