Thursday, Both instant has
been designated by the president
OF the United States, and by the
governors of all the states as a
day OF general thanksgiving; and
it should be observed with inward
emotions of gratitude and outward
expression that will reach the
poor, the needy and the afflicted.
AS a nation, as state, and as
individuals we have much to be
thankful for.
Has the elective judiciary
amendment been carried or has it
not, is now the question; and the
legislature, or the court, will have
TO settle it. Mr.. Noel and many
others contend that the amend
ment having received a majority
of the vote cast on that question,
it is carried; Others, that it re-
quires majority of all the votes
cast at the election, in other
words, that if there are 100000
votes cast for governor, a major
ity of this number should have
voted for the amendment.
The total interments in jackson
during October were: whites 7,
colored 14-the population, DUR
ing that month, being about 10,-
600. But some ofthe sensational
kilograms published throughout
the country created the impress
sion that the capital city in Mis-
sissippi was in the throes OF de-
vastating plague. 1t would be
difficult for any city in the coun-
try to show better health record
than the above.
One of the members of the
jackson city council is colored
man, Smith Robertson. He is
highly respected on the board,
and as citizen. He expresses
himself, in a modest, but often
forceful way, in all matters COM
ing before the council. About
a year ago, when the Ladies'
Cemetery Association petitioned
to have the colored people re-
moved from the old cemetery, !,
which is very much crowded, to
the new cemetery specially pro-
vided for the colored people, the
subject, after being generally
discussed, elicited this observa-
ton from Councilman Robertson
81 don't see any sense in all this
racket. The colored and whites
in the cemetery get along much
better than those outside of it
just let them rest in peace. -
The governor has pardoneG
Harry Coleman, one OF the three
who killed Dinkins at the Bran
don depot four years ago. Fox
was pardoned just in time to en-
list for the Spanish war. The
pardon of both was recommended
for meritorious conduct, by the
Penitentiary Board of Control.
A practitioner of Osteopathy iT
Missouri, wanting to know if hi
could practice the same in Mis-
sissippi, we referred his inquiry
to Dr.. J. f. Hunter, Secretary
State Board of Health, and thii
is his reply: s'I will state tina
there has already been test case
of this made in the southern por-
ton OF the state last year. Ths
court decided that it was Illegal
unless the party held license from
