AUBURN DOTS,

The people are busy trying to organ
iZe Chautauqua to be held here at
some date in the near future.
The farmers of this community
have been having some fine weather
for work for the past few weeks.
Miss Pearl Williams has gone to
Chicago, and the only way to get her
back is to send Prof. McAlpin after
her.
Miss Fannie Beasley, who has been
in school at Columbus for the past
session, is visiting friends and rela-
tives in Auburn.
The Auburn Literary Society met in
regular session last week. The most
interesting thing on the program was a
farewell address by Bro. Watkins.
Notwithstanding the very trying
circumstances, all the people of the
community enjoyed the Teachers
meeting very much, and we hope all
the visitors can say the same.
All the Mississippi College students
from this community have returned
home, but we are glad to know that
session and take some of their friends
with them.
In the evening, after the Teach.
ers' Meeting was over, the young peo-
pie gathered at the residence of Mr..
Enoch Carruth's and enjoyed them
selves in some good social games, but
mostly 10 eating and drinking a good
quantity of ice cream and lemonade.
When we think of it in one way, we
are sorry that the few teachers who
attended the Teachers Meeting we're SO
heavily loaded with intellect that they
broke the dummy down; and then we
are proud that Lincoln county is the
possessor of such people. However,
we hope that Mr.. Brister will not bring
an account against our worthy super
intendent for damages.

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.
The school Bond Issue Carried by IA Vote
of 81 to SO.

The school Bond Issue Carried by "a Vote
of 81 to SO.
The election yesterday on the propo-
sition to issue municipal bonds in a
sum not exceeding $4,000, for enlarg-
ing and improving the Graded Public
School, was carried in favor of the
proposition by a vote of 81 to 53.
THE LEADER rejoices to be able to
chronicle this result, for, had the prop
osition been defeated, we consider
that it would have been tantamount
to proclaiming to the world that
Brookhaven is unwilling to meet her
plain responsibilities in the matter of
public school education, and that
majority of her qualified electors have
lost faith in her future growth and de-
velopment. Happily, the vote pro-
claims just the opposite, and we are
confident time will fully vindicate the
wisdom of the majority. Had there
been more time for discussion after
the election was ordered, the majority
would no doubt have been much lar
ger than it is.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen
held meeting last night and passed
an order to issue s13,5OO in bonds for
the purpose indicated. The bonds are
to be sold at the regular meeting Of
the Board the End day of July, for
which sealed bids are invited. They
are to be issued in denominations of
$500 each, run 20 years, with the op-
ton of redemption by the city after
years, and bear interest at not exceed
ing 5 per cent.
The letting of the contract for the
improxents was deferred until an ad-
journed meeting of the Board next
Monday night, very soon after which
time it is expected the work will begin
SO as to have the buildings in readi-
ness for next falls school term.

FOR VIOLATING THE
SUNDAY LAW.

ARRESTED FOR VIOLATING THE
SUNDAY Law.
All of the barber shop keepers of
the city, except Day & Mollegan, were
arraigned before Justice Hoffman, on
yesterday, for violating the Sunday
law on last Sunday by keeping open
their shops and shaving customers.
All plead guilty and were fined s1.OO
and costs except r. c. Keene, who de-
MED the charge and demanded trial.
THE LEADER learns that the BARRIERS
got into this trouble by assuming that
Constable Hardy Magee could consti-
tute himself the law-making power of
the State of Mississippi and adopt or
repeal State laws according to his own
whims or caprice. This officer, for
reasons satisfactory to himself, had
notified the several BARRIERS on Satur-
day that, SO far as he was concerned,
the Sunday law was repealed, or words
to that effect, and if they saw fit to
run their shops on Sunday, hereafter,
they would not be molested by him.
Thereupon all except Day & Mollegan,
WHO didn't recognize Constable Ma
gees authority to make and unmake
State law, opened their shops on last
Sunday morning, with the result al
ready stated.
A LEADER representative interview
ed Constable Magee this morning and
he gave as a reason for saying what he
did to the BARRIERS that he was not re-
ceiving the support and cooperation
he should from other local officials in
his efforts to enforce the laws, nor
from many citizens who could give val
liable aid in this direction, and, as a
consequence, he was on a big disgust.
Then he went on to say, as proof of his
assertion about the delinquency of
other officials, that though they knew
the BARRIERS had openly violated the
law, not one of them proceeded to
make affidavit against any of them,
but waited for this to be done by
private citizen.
This incident is valuable chiefly as
illustrating the peculiar way in which
some officials and some citizens of the
community regard the laws of the
State, which every voter is under sol
emn oath to support.
In view of Judge Powell's recent
special charge to the grand jury and
the information easily within reach of
all, nobody ought to make the mistake
of supposing that any local official, by
his mere ipse dixi,t can nullify the
Sunday laws of this State, and THE
LEADER speaks advisedly when it says
there are enough citizens in Brookha-
ven who respect the laws of Missis-
sippi and their obligations in the prem
ises, to see to it that they are not thus
nullified.

DIR. FRITZ KRAUSE.

DR., Fritz Krause, who was arrested
on the charge of treason yesterday, is
one Of the most cultured and best types
of younger Free State Afrikanders
Sprung from fine old German stock, his
family has been for the last fifty years
one of the leading houses of Bloemfon-
tein society, Dr. Fritz has received
an excellent European legal training,
and has great many friends at the
Inner Temple" of which he is a mem
Der. His record of the past five years
in the service of the Transvaal govern
. ment is most honorable one. and his
reputation among Uitlanders of all ma
tionalities was, that he was absolutely
incorruptible, which at old Johannes
burg meant a great deal. In the mys-
ferrous Van Veldheim case he prosecu-
ted the assailant Of Mr.. Wolf Joel for
the state In mastery manner and
earned high eulogies for his able con-
duct CO mysterious case which will
probably crop up again some day in a
manner least expected. It was his bus
mess as public prosecutor ana acting
state attorney at the Rand to figure as
the unpopular official In such sensa-

case, in which ex-Chief Justice Kotze
suddenly veered round after his dis
missal by Mr. Paul Kruger to defend
Policeman Jones. Then followed the
Moneypenny-P akeman matters, the
DoddWe case and many others.
1t will, of course, be understood from |
this that DIR. Krause has made a good |
many enemies, who could not possibly |
forgive him the frequent exposures he J.
gave them In the course of his official
career. During the war Fritz Krause
was acting commandant of Johannes
burg. 1t was he who got rid oe that
impossible person, Daniel Schultz, |
whose Communicating" propensities |
made him hated by all who were
forced to remain in the Golden City.
The greatest order ruled at Johannes |
burg from the time the war started UNI
til Lord Roberts received the keys of |

Transvaal from DR.. Krause's hands.

ant Fritz Krause carried out the direct
orders of the commandment general,
Louis Botha, to that effect with the
most conscientious exactness and at
great personal risk to himself.
Although offered an excellent position
by the British commander in chief un-
der the new regime. DR. Krause pre-
ferred to await the end of the war, con-
sldering that many or his relations
were still in the field with the comman-
dos. He asked and at once obtained
leave and every facility to proceed to
Europe, and has been in London for
about six months, enjoying himself
with many old Johannesburg friends
Very shortly after his arrival in this
country he was asked to undertake the
defence in the libel case of Wernher-
Belt VS.. Markham, and was busily en-
gagged in the matter until about four
weeks ago, when, on the arrival of his
aged mother and his sister from South
Africa, he took them to Scotland on a
holiday during the legal vocation. He
has neither lived at Bloomsbury lodg-
ings nor kept any of his movements Sc
cret from his friends or acquaintance,
of whom he has hundreds in London
He was one of the few clean handed
ment, and has decidedly anti Krugerite
views on many questions of the mo-
ment, and gained the respect of every
one with whom he came in contact

IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.
Annual Report of New York Commits
sioncr-Increase in Italians.

| Annual Report of New York Commits
sioner-Incrense in Italians.
Washington, Oct. THE annual re-
port of Thomas Fitchil commissioner
of immigration at New York, elbows
that the number of aliens arrived at
the port of New York during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1901, was 453, 496.
There were also 133,056 citizens Of the
United States who arrived from abroad.
From a comparison Of the steerage i'm
migration for the last two years 1t Is
shown that nearly 10000 of the increase
of the last year over the year before
was in the immigration from southern
Italy alone, but while this race shows
the largest numerical increase, others
present even greater relative gains.
The Luthenian immigration has nearly
doubled; the Armenian and Syrian as
we'll as the Greek, show an increase Of
about so per cent, and the Croatian
and Dalmatian about 30 per cent
The number Of returning alien resi-
dents stands at 1915 per cent. Of the
total immigration. In the amount Of
money brought per capita there appears
to be an appreciable increase over last
year, but the report says, the conclu-
sion, unfortunately. Is unavoidable
that our immigration is constantly in
creasing in illiteracy. Not only are we
dra wing more and more from the coun-
tries where illiteracy is higher but also
the immigrants themselves are showing
higher percentages Of illiteracy. Nearly
one-half Of our Storage immigration
now presents an illiteracy Of from 40 to
over so per cent.
Of the 1888 1881 steerage aliens who ar
rived during the year the following to-
tails are given for the principal coun-
tries: Southern Italian, 5000 males,
"a 1896 females; Polish, 25,466 males, r.
40 females; Hebrew, 23,343 males, TO-
9S4 females; German, 1928 males, 49,
442 females; Slovak, $1,000 males 1922
Northern Italian, 1922 males,
