The Mississippi Constitutions.

Hon Luther Manship. OF Jackson. Miss,
who lectured here Tuesday night under
the auspices of the Travellers Protecsfvs
Association, is Il member of the LeSis-
iature OF his State and is leading DEM
ocrat Talking. with a Times reporter,
he said:
My State set the pace in getting rid
of the vote that has been a curse to the
South. Mississippi adopted II Coustitu-
ton requiring Il person TO be able to
read and write and to understand the
provisions of the organic law before he
was permitted to vote. This Constittl-
tion has been tested by the Supreme
Court OF the United States and has stood
the test on three occasions.
THE effect of our new Constitution has
been to give the white people the entire
control of the State. There are not now
more than 1000 negroes qualified to vote.
In my own town under the OLD Constitt1-
ton the Republicans were able to con-.
troll the elections. Now they have only
about twenty-tnree voters.
Mr.. islanship said that in Jackson the
Clerk of the Chancery Court is the reg
istrar. Recently two negroes went to
him to register.
Can you read and write?" asked the
Clerk of one of them.
II can, boss, but dur is something bout
Knowing dc Constitutions; 'spose you
famine me on dat furst." said the man.
Well, replied the registrar There
are three departments of the Govern
ment-the executive. legislative and the
judicial: explain the difference between
the legislative and the judicial.
The old negro scratched his head and
replied:
Boss. dat is 4 mighty hard question: -
Yes. ana still harder ones are to come.
responded the Clerk.
''JeS' repeat dat question, said the oil
man; the registrar did 50. and the would-
be voter gave this reply:
De only difference I see is dat one
is justice and de other is truth.
The nesro's name is not on the regis
tration book.

The two trains collided at full speed
and both engines were completely demol-
ished. The forward car of the express
and passenger train in both instances, Il
combination baggage and smoker, were
entirely demolished also, and to add to the
horror the wreckage took fire. The sec

on it's side and the passengers had to
climb out through the windows.
Passengers. in getting out of the over
turned coach, got into the canal. and
many of the bodies of the dead and in

The scene of the wreck was far from
outside assistance and when the wreck
ing train arrived from Trenton it was af-
ter dark nnd the work of clearing up the
debris and removing the bodies was neces-
sarily slow.

understanding or mistake, the-local came
out on the. main trach after the second
section had pnssed, unistakinS it for the
third section.
