A negro, who gave his name as Tom
Whitlow, was arrested by marshal
Peck last Friday, on telephone mes
sage sent to sheriff Dunn, from the
sheriff of Sharkey county, Miss. The
negro had crossed the river and had
been in town and was returning to the
landing, no doubt to take boat. when
be ran into the arms of the marshal
who was on the lookout for him. II
is said that Whitlow had stolen $3.50
from James Shooder, q storekeeper at
Ni:ayuma. Whitlow had wound on
the inside of the leg near the hip, and
had wrapped leaves around the wound
to keep. the blood from showing. Ten
dollars only was found on him, and 1t
was thought he had hid the other
money. He volunteered to return
without requisition papers, and he was
taken back within a few hours after
his arrest. 1t don't do for fugitives
to come this way and to let sheriff
Dunn or marshal Peck know of it.

accident on Tuesday morning. 1t is
his work to keep The saw dust pitt
cleaned out, which is under the saw,
and was at this work whent he met
with the accident. A small piece OF
slab. got caught in some way near the
saw, and the unfortunate man reched
up for it with his left hand (no dot bt
carelessly), when it was jerked to the
saw in an instant by the slab. His
three fingers aud thumb were cut aud
mashed horribly. He was brought to
town Immediately and Drs.. Artaud
and Bernard had TO take of the three
fingers, and by the careful operation
they hope to save part of the thumb
The fingers had to be amputated at the
nuckles. 1t was an unfortunate acct.
dent for the young man, and we hope
he gets along nicely.

At the present time the prospects
for an abundant and large yield OF
cotton never looked better, and If
nothing unforeseen happens We will
have crop equal to 1897, in which
year there was so much cotton made
10 East Carroll that great deal of Il
was never picked. The planters have
worked hard, and from what we can
learn the colored people went In at the
beginning of the year with better
hearts than in many years, for the res
son that the majority Of them received
q good price for their cotton last year
and made money. Many Of them
made enough to "run" them almost the
entire year without asking to be
Furnished" and many of them failed
to make money for the reason that
they would stake up" the earth and,
all that is in 1t if there we're no strings
to it. These kind never make money,
nor hardly living, and don't care to.
There is no parish in the State, nor
country in the South, where the COL
ored people are treated any better, or
given the chance that they get in East
Carroll. They know their place, and
they keep it, and there has never been
any unpleasantness among the whites
and blacks.

There ia some consolation in the
fact that If the corncropis not so good
in East Carroll, the hay crop will make
up for it to some extent. We are In
formed that there has. been more hay
made in the parrish this year than in
many years before, and that it is of a
fine quality. A few years ago 1t was
hard matter to find three hay presses
in the parish, but now there are twen-
ty-five or thirty, and we understand
they are kept buoy at work bailing for
those who nave no presses. The hay
industry is quite an item now in East
Carroll.
