Popular p. N. Corsets.

The ever increasing popularity of P.
N. corsets is due to the fact that their
many good qualities appeal to ladies.
In the first place. all the steels used in
their manufacture are guaranteed
against rust, which absolutely prevents
the soiling of garments from rust. They
are made in all up-to- date styles and of
the best material and workmanship, of
the latest dip and with the stocking
supporter attachment. and at popular
prices. From the fact that they give
the figure the form SO much to be de.
sired, they are aptly termed Figure

drags each, while smaller ones can
safely handle but one or two. When
the drags, which are built of wire, are
in the vicinity of the scallop beds the
fishermen begin to have an eye on their
filling. Often when opened ;heY are
found to contain fish and clam smells,
but usually there are some scallops. a
bushel of scallops equals a gallon Of
the prepared meat for shipment, and it
is in this way that the men estimate
the days catch.

New York, October 31.-Gen. Botha,
of the Boer commission, who is now in
Europe, trying to raise funds for the
redemption of the ruined farming dis
tricts of South Africa, cabled to The
World the results of the general mission
to date, saying in part:
"Our words have been misconstrued,
and our actions assigned to wrong mo-
tives. The British people have no rea-
son to doubt our sincerity, as we called
on our people to come in and lay down
their arms. Having accepted the terms
Gen. Kitchener was authorized to offer
us, we never sought to have them modi-
fled. What we sought for was not the
modification of the terms of the peace
treaty, but for immediate help, of which
our people are in sore need. Having
come to plead cause which should
speak eloquently itself, we are sorely
disappointed by the result. We have
every reason to consider that we have
failed in our GRAND"

Negro Kills white Mo.hsr and Dauahlsr.

H
Salem, Alabama, November 3.-sam
Harris, a, negro. entered the home OF
George Meadows, a prominent planter
who lives miles south OF here, about
8 o'clock this morning, during Mr..
Meadows absence, and with an AK
struck his wife and iS-year.ol daughter
each on the head, crushing Mrs.
Meadows skull and fracturing that of
her daughter. Mrs. Meadows has never
regained consciousness and win die,
The negro was placed in CUSTODY and
held till Miss Meadows had sufficiently
recovered to identify him. This she
did at four o'clock this afternoon and
the negro was taken in charge by about
1875 armed men and his body riddled
with bullets on the spot He denied
his guilt until the first shot was fired,
then he acknowledged the crime.
His purpose was TO rob the house,
which he, perhaps, did, as all the
drawers TO the bureaus and dressers
were open and showed evidence of be-
ing rifed. The whole country around
is in state of confusion.
The negro had heard that Mr..
Meadows had disposed of two mules
and that the money was on the premises,
so when Mr.. Meadows left the place this
morning to attend the organization of a
school some miles off, he prepared to
act. The negro's wife is under arrest,
charged with completely.

Labor Scarce In the South.

New Orleans, November GA
famine in labor prevails throughout
Mississippi. 1t has grown acute
and is seriously interfering with har-
vestiug the cotton crop. The scare
ity is attributed by the farmers to
labor agents who are taking the ne
gro farm hands off to work on the
railroads and levees and in the lum-
Der districts and some of them to
the plantations in Louisiana.
In nearly every county the law
against labor agents, prohibiting
them from enticing labor away, has
been appealed to, but in all cases it
has been found impossible to cap
ture the labor agents, as the negroes
assist in concealing their movements
In Amite county farmers club has
been organized and plan devised to
run out the labor agents. The club
has been 80 far working as a secret
organization and intends to deal out
punishment to those caught in the
act of enticing laborers away.

Negro Burned at the Stake.

Sardis, Miss, November 1.-One negro
name unknown, has been burned at the
stake and two white men, implicated by
the negro in his dying confession, are
being held by posse pending an investi-
cation in tho murder of E. o. Jackson
and mill owner named Roscllo al
Darling, Miss, Wednesday night.
The negro was burned at Darling last
night by mob composed of 1000 per
sons from both races. Just before the
lighting of the funeral pyre the captured
negro confessed that he had committed
the double murder with the assistance
of two wife men. The motive was rob-
berry and considerable sum was secured,
which the negro stated was divided
among the three.
After the burning posse went in
search of the two white men and soon
captured them. They are being held
pending an investigation of their guilt
or innocence and it is believed that a
double lynching will follow if guilt is
proven conclusively. The names of the
prisoners are not known.
Later it was learned that the two
white men were released by the mob, an
alibi having been proven by each man.
No further trouble is expected tonight.

Fight With Knives.

While attending corn shucking sew.
eral nights ago about twenty miles north
of Greonville in the settlement known as
"Chinqupin," Ben Ross and Poinsette
Trammell, two young farmers, became
engaged in n quarrel over some trivial
matter.
Each one of the young men drew q
knife and began to cut and fight for all
they were worth. AS result both
were severely gashed in several places
on the body.
Friends finally interfercd and put an
end to the battle. Ross and Trammell
were taken to their respective homes in
serious condition. Yesterday Ross
died from the effects of tho wounds re-
ceived in the fight. 1t is reported also
that Trammell is in critical condition,
hardly expected to live.
1t is said that both of tha young mon
were drunk at the time of tho fight. A
blockade distillery is supposed to DO To-
Gated in the community n ,ar where tho
corn shucking was held and the surposi-
tion is that the young mon secured thei,

realized from the distribution of the
