WORK OF A MADMAN.
Killed His Brother and His Father Had
to Shoot Him.

MOUNT CARMEL, Miss. Especially Two
years ago a negro, Simon Newton by name,
went crazy, but was not confined. few
days ago the man arose early. went to the
bed where his brother lay sleeping, and,
without warning, cut his throat from ear
to ear with a razor. The lunatic then
went into the yard and returned with IN
axe, with which he gashed his brothers
body and finally cut off the head, which he
hurled into the yard. Returning once
more to the corpse he severed an arm,
and, when finally surprised by his sister,
the crazy man was munching tho flesh.
At sight OF his sister Newton once more
grew violent, and, seizlng the razor with
which he had committed his first deed, he
slashed his sister on the face and bosom,
woundin., her iearfully. The father OF
the unfortunate family was attracted by
her cries and, grabbing a riae, hastened
to the scene.
The lunatic at sight OF the gun turned
ard fled, but was pursued by his parent
and was finally shot down. He was then
captured and bound fast, for, although
wounGed, he made desperate resistance.

message suggesting amendments to the
Ford Francise Tax bill. After brlet dis
cussion In each House the Senate referred
the message to tie Committee on Taxation
and Retrenchments, and in the Assembly
It was laid on the table and ordered printed.

ehises as realty. should be retained, but
that the taxes should be assessed by the,
State Tax Commission. He also believes
that local taxes now paid BY corporations

sessed under this proposed general
scheme. Another amendment recon-
mended by the Governor Is that the pro-
posed law take effect on October next, 80
that 1t shall become operative throughout
the State at the same time.
