MERIDIAN, MISS.
Death of Stanley Price-Prospeets for
 New Road.

Meridian, October 25.-(Specia1) )-The community was painfully surprised this morning to learn of the death of Stanley Price, one of the most popular and most promising young men of Meridian. He went home from the Citizens Bank Mon day and complained of pains in his stomach. A physician was called and gave him temporary treatment, but yes- terday morning the young man was taken with hemorrhage of the stomach and his family became very much alarmed. Early last night he was apparently fully recov- cred from the attack, but shortly after 2 o'clock this morning he was taken with a second hemorrhage, and before assistance could be had he died.
 Stanley Price was the youngest son in a family that is well known throughout East Mississippi.
 James Smith, a wealthy farmer from Newton county, was in the city today discussing with business men the pros pect of building a railroad from Newton station on the Alabama and Vicksburg in northwest direction to Philadelphia, in Neshoba county. MT. Smith says that the 2000 farmers and land owners whom the road would affect will subscribe lib- eTdlly to the cdpltal StOck OI the enter prise. He will endeavor to have mass meetings held along the proposed route, and will then come to Meridian with an address to lay before the Board of Trade. Meridian will build the road for a cer- tainty if 1t is ever decided to put through the proposed line from Birmingham to Vicksburg, as one merchant has said that he would give ten thousand outright to any company that would build in and shut the Birmingham and vicksburg traders out.
 A special summons was ordered today for Will Damon, the ex-city engineer of Meridian, who is now believed to be at Hattiesburg. Damon was with Will Schamber on the mountain the night that the negro Brown lost his life. and for whose death Schamber stands charged. When the case was called this morning Damon was not present, and after a short discussion Judge Hall notified the sheriff to go to Hattiesburg and get the absent witness if he were to be found. Damon Is the most important witness for the State and immediately following the killing was arrested as one of the prin- | cipals.

plan Mir. Bowie said the voter was re- uuired to either read or understand section of tho constitution when it was read to them. He said this gave the registrar the right to give one man difficult section and another an easy one, while under the Alabama constitution this opportunity for fraud was not held open.
 No Whites DIsfranchIsed.
 "The Alabama plan of registering voters" explained MT. Bowie. '1s prac- tically the same as the South Carolina plan, and no white man has been dis franchised in that State. The fear of white men being denied the power of voting in Alabama Is unfounded. With the grandfather clause and the good character there Is no reason why a white man should not be registered"
 In explaining the suffrage clause of the temporary plan MT. Bowie showed how any soldiers who had served In the war of 1872 the Mexican Indian, Civil and Span ish war and their sons could be registered. If there were any who that clause did not reach they could vote if of good charac- ter and understood the duties of citizen ship. MT. Bowie said under these provis- Ions there were not five negroes out of a thousand who would not be disfranchised while not white man would lose his right to vote.
 Permanent Plan.
 The speakers then took up the perman- ent plan and said the educational pro- vision would be a great stimulant to the young men who are coming up but it will not affect those who now are old enough to vote. MT. Bowie took occasion to cor rect the impression that has been created that voter must be able to read and write ''correctly a section of the con stitution, and that few men could do SO. He said the Constitution does not use the word correctly" and that any man who can read and write and is of ordi- nary intelligence can register under the clause.
 Quotes Colonel Denson. MT. Bowie read from a speech delivered | by Col. w. H. Denson two years ago to | the state convention, in which the pres | ent plan was advocated. He said Colonel | Densons answer to this was "once fool not always a fool" MT. Bowie said if Colonel Denson admitted once being a fool he would like for him to let the people know which time he meant"
 Mir Bowie spoke for two hours. and the audience closely followed his every word
