latioD, and the question Of separate
schools for white and colored pupils
has been under agitation for a long

white schools and demanded their adj
mission. This was refused, and the

their own schools. In the meantime
the report was circulated that the COL

petition has just returned from the over
flowed district in Rankin county and it
reports a deplorable condition of affairs
among the inhabitants who have been left
homeless by the high waters. Over forty
families, nearly all of them cofored. were
found in destitute and starving cond-
ton and in several instances people were
found on small islands who had not tasted
food for three days. Two boatloads of
rations were distributed among them and
a popular subscription is now being taken
for further relief. On one small island the
relief party found forty negroes and over
one hundred head of hogs, cattle and
dogs gathered and shut off on all sides
by the high waters.
