Negro Insane.

Thirty-t three patients have arrived
at the Mississippi Insane Hospital
during the past few days to occupy
the recent completed annex for the fe-
male negro insane, and the officials
are expecting large number OF addi-
tional arrivals within the next week.
One of the physicians at the institu-
ton states that in recent years there
has been an alarming increase OF he
reditary insanity among the negro
race, and he is at loss to account for
it. A few days ago mother and her
three children were brought to the
hospital for treatment. Work has
again been commenced on the new an
mex for male negroes and within a
few weeks large number of this class
of patients who are now languishing
in the county isils will be brought to
the hospital.

ed with the family of Stearns, and on

not missed for some hours, and their
departure was not learned of until
after the train had reached this city.
With them on the train was }. A,
Freeman, who was arrested by the
local police for assisting in the affair.

history. About 1915 o'clock dark and
heavy clouds were seen scudding
across the heavens from the south
west, and few minutes later a rum
bling, roaring sound heralded the ap-
proach of most terrific storm. The
first thing it struck in its path was
the tipple and houses of mine No. 6.
In minutes time they were swept to
destruction, so crippling the mine that
it had to suspend operations Thence
in a northeasterly direction, it struck
the West Highlands of Pratt City,
and a three room house was lifted off
its pillars and set on the ground. 1t
then demolished the colored church
in that vicinity, leaving not "stone

Nearly every church in town was

Rising Star Baptist church was badly

The planters in Madison county who
have been holding their cotton for an
increase in price to 10 cents, have ap.
parently abandoned hope of getting
higher prices, and are selling their
cotton at below cents. The number
of bales received at Huntsville during
the past week shows a corresponding
sharp increase over the number re-
ceived during four preceding weeks.

Destructive Fire at Greenville.
Negro Accomplice Shot-W. c. I. U.
and Presbytery Meetings.
Fire Causes Heavy Damages at
Greenville.

Friday afternoon Greenville suffered
from a fire that destroyed on con-
servative estimate fully one hundred
thousand dollars worth Of property.
The Greenville compress was discov-
cred to be on fire at 2:30 o'clock.
Stored in the yards of the compress
were 5000 bales of cotton. The wind
was blowing gale from the south
east, and while this helped to save
much of the cotton, as the flames
were carried from the cotton yard, it
made the fire rage furiously and
everything in reach was attacked.
The compress building is damaged to
the extent of $40, 900, insured through
local agencies for $4,000. a con-
servative estimate places the cotton
loss at $4,000 bales. valued at $1O,-
900, covered by insurance through
local agences. The heaviest losers on
cotton were H. G.. Vincent, w. G.
Craig & Co., and the Waldauer Com
pany. The fire crossed the Y. & M,
V. railroad tracks and destroyed New
Hope First Baptist church and then
ate its way into Steel's alley, destroy
ing in all Seventeen tenement houses
and most of the contents. The loss
on the church and the tenement
houses, added to the loss on the COM
press and cotton, runs the total to
fully $780, 600. The tenement houses
destroyed were occupied by negroes,
aud their losses are total as they had
no insurance on their household
goods. Several people were badly
burned, but none fatally.
