Seh!ey Verdict Apnreved.

Washington, December 21.-Secretary
Long this afternoon finally disposed of
the Schley case by approving the unani-
nous conclusions of. the court of inquiry
and the opinions of Benham and Ramsey
on the points upon which they differ
from Dewey. The recommendations of
the court that no further proceedings be
taken were approved also. The secretary
delivered q mild rebuke to Dewey for
expressing an opinion as to who com
manded at the battle of Santiago, after
the court had excluded the evidence on
that point.
Sampson has been notified that the
department will take no action on his
appeal. 1t is now considered that if any
thing further Is to be done it must ema-
nate from Schley. No doubt is felt about
his appealing to Roosevelt.

Indians As Cotton Pickers.

Col. Lee Richardson, of Vicksburg,
who owns the Tennessee plantation in
the lower end Of this county, and
which is looked after by Mr.. G.. H.
Simrall, has introduced a new labor
into u county. Col. Richardson
was very much in need of cotton pick
ers and found them hard to get. He
went out into the eastern part of the
State and made arrangements with an
Indian chief who secured several of
his braves and came up to the Tennes-
see place to pick cotton. They liked
the country so well, the chief has sent
back after more. Certainly this is a
new era in IsSaquena when the red
man comes back to his native land,
not as they were once, but as cotton
pickers. -Mayersville Spectator.
