/ RARE OPPORTUNTTT.

On account of their anticipated re-
moval to Hattiesburg, the Brookhaven
Lumber a Manufacturing Company
are offering for sale their valuable mill
site just three -eighths of mile north
of town. The property embraces 60
acres of land along and Immediately
east of the main line of the |. c. Rail
road, between that road and the N, B.
Il NJ. r. Il. and the mill and railroad of
the Pearl River Lumber Coat the
head of the V, as it were, where these
lines connect. 1t has number of
houses already built for mill opera
tives, good office building and fire
proof vault, we'll which furnishes an
ineXhaustible supply of water, and over
2,OO0 feet of railroad side track. In
deed, it is an ideal location for a la rye
manufacturing enterprise. This ought
to be seized as Brookhaven's oppor-
tunity for starting cotton factory,
and we hope some of our enterprising,
public spirited business men will get
control of this property with this end
in view.
The LEADER learns that both of
Brookhaven's Banks have on deposit
in their vaults a large amount of
money awaiting profitable investment,
and this money, or large portion of
it, might be secured for a cotton fac
tory under capable management.
Surely, with cotton factories springing
up in other leading towns of the State,
Brookhaven will not long lag in this
particular. y cotton factory would
round out nicely her other industrial
enterprises and more than compensate
for the removal of the lumber COM
pany now about to change location.
Furthermore, in the very nature of
the case, it cannot be far in the future
when either the railroad of the Pearl
River Lumber Company or the n, B. &
NJ. Railroad will be completed to the
q. 4 S. |. K. r., giving Brookhaven
and her industrial enterprises addi-
tional transportation facilities and
thus increasing the value of this and
all other property of the town.
The LEADER believes the securing of
this valuable property for industrial
purposes is one of very great import
ance, and hopes some corporation or
collection of individuals will not let
the opportunity pass unimproved.

\ Beautiful Legend.

After Stonewall Jackson's death at
Charlottesville, story became cur
rent in the Confederate army which
the soldiers loved to repeat over their
bivouac fires: that on account of his
extreme piety, when their famous
chieftain fell, a detachment left the
heavenly gates to visit the battle
field and escort the hero's soul into
paradise The celestial squadron
searched the close strewn field, but
without effect. He whom they sought
could not he found, aud they retired
mournfully to report their want of
success. But, 10! on arrival they
found the spirit of the immortal war
rior already there. Stonewall Jack
son had made flank march and got
to heaven before them Erchdnge

while serving out one of Judge Powell's
heroic sentences.
/ Mel Moses, a third son, indicted
and convicted for assault with intent
to kill and murder, is now working out
a term of Imprisonment, 5000 fine
and costs on the county farm.
This is the criminal record of this
one family of negroes since 1892, as
The LEADER has been able to hastil y
CLEAN it. Surely, with such a record
they are scarcely entitled to the toler-
alton by the community which the law
vouchsafes to them, much less clemen-
cy when they are convicted.

One Of the most frightful crimes
known to criminology occurred near
St. Peters, La, on Sunday morning
last, and was eXpiated in the after
noon, the mobs victim being a negro
field hand, known as shorty" His
victims were Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Bour-
geois and their two little children.
Bourgeois was murdered in the field
by being stabbed in the hack, Mrs.
Bourgeois was shot and her throat cut
and the two little children were
drowned in the canal near the drain
ing machine, where their father was
employed as watchman. ''Shorty's"
motive was robbery and he secured
the pitiful sum of $500 in return for
his dastardly deed. An adopted son
of the Bourgeois family witnessed the
murder of Mrs. Bourgeois and recog-
nized the negro as the murderer. The
latter protested his innocence to the
last, even when the rope was about
his neck.

Miss Hobhouse was the first to agitate re-
garding the condition Of the British concen-
tration camps.
Apart from the Franco-Turkish question,
which is regarded having been consider
ably simplified by the French explanations
received at the foreign office. to the effect
that France has no intention OF permanent
ly occupying the Island of Mitylene. the
meetings of the British cabinet have been
chiefly devoted to South Africa, and TO
drawing up plans for more strenuous ef-
forts to end the campaign. One of the i'm
mediate results will be the dispatch Of 1000
cavalry from England to South Africa.
AS Mr.. Chamberlain. the colonial secre-
tary, went direct yesterday afternoon from
the cabinet meeting to the scene of the pre-
sentation 10 Major General Baden-Powell,
the defender Of Msfeking. OF the sword OF
honor sent from Australia. the secretarys
declaration on that occasion may be accept

and as the governments reply to recent
suggestions that the Beers should be offered
terms.
There was an anti-Lord Roberts demon
stration at Nottingham today, where the
