Matthew. Defeated ZiegIer.

Matty Matthews, former welter-
weight champion, was given the de-
cision over Owen Zeigler at the Sa-
vannah athletic club, Savannah, Ca,
in the sixth round of what was
scheduled to be a twenty-round bout.
In the second round Zeigler knocked
Matthews down and drew blood from
his eye. In the sixth Matthews sent
Zeigler to the mat with a right to
the point of the jaw. Zeigler took the
count and got up. He made a des-
perate attack on Matthews, but Ref
cree Jenkins held up his hands,
stopped the fight and gave the deci-
sion to Matthews. Up to the decisive
blow it was either mans fight.

Sunday Law at Vicksburg.

Judge Anderson called the grand
jury into court last week and deliv-
cred a supplementary charge, in
structing them to investigate into
the observation of the Sunday law
generally. He intimated that as
the municipal authorities we're dere-
lict in the discharge of their duties
in the enforcement of the statutes,
it must be the duty of the grand
jury to take the steps hal will lead
up to a due and healthy respect for
the law. The billiard rooms, cor

others will be made to close their
places, as have the saloons.

SOUTHERN
The Great southern staple.

The season. of 1901-19O2 was rather
unfavorable to the production of cot
ton, owing to disastrous droughts in
the southwest and excessive rains in
the South Atlantic States. Notwith-
standing adverse conditions, however,
the crop reached q total of 1o,76s,195
bales. This year the climatic condi-
tions have been more favorable, with
a p~henomenally mild fall and the
absence Of killing frost. The picking
season in most localities has been all
that could be desired. But the early
conditions were not of the best, how
ever, and the crop is now estimated
at something over II, 900, 900 bales. At
any rate, growers "a take comfort in
the fact that there seems to be a GER
tainty that the price will be well
maintained as compared with recent
wears

Convict Whipped to Death.


There was quite a sensation
stirred UP in Coahoma county over
the unmerciful treatment of the con-
victs on Hon. J. W. Eldridge's place
at Hill House, the outcome of which
John c. Hardy, a sergeant in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Eldridge, has been in
dicted for murder for whipping one
Henry Young, a convict, to death.
The facts developed before the grand
jury seem to be that he whipped
Young, a county convict, who had
been sent to Mr.. Eldridge, who is
the Jesse of the convicts, and while
there Hardy whipped him so unmer-
cifully that his back was a mass
of sores from his head to his heels
and he became so debilitated that
Hardy turned him loose. He came
near Clarksdale and died a few
weeks afterwards. The grand jury
has had a number of convicts be-
fore them and made a personal ex-
animation of their bodies and found
that Sergeant Hardy has whipped
them 80 often and so brutally that
they are in stripes all over their
bodies. Hardy is now in Jail at
Clarksdale awaiting trial and has
been refused bail. Public senti-
ment is very much wrought up at
the revelation. Hon. J. W. Ed

nothing of the affair

AN HUMILIATING SPECTACLE.

This government is placed in humiliating posi-

hood come with sickenmg regularity from this
breeding ground of moral degradation. Confessions
made frankly by officers accused leave room for
doubt On the other hand, there are the state
ments of Col. Gardener, who considered his prov
ince pacifed and safe. Col. Gardener has been a
most considerate officer. He has incurred the dis
pleasure of his men because he has punished ofenses
by soldiers against the natives with considerable
severity His men speak contemptuously of his
policy and scott at his pets, the natives, whom they
regard as lot of snakes in the grass. This policy

colonel has mistaken personal good will Cor general

1t can be easily understood, how all this wretched
scandal came about. Filipinos to the number of
millions are opposed to the control of foreign
government exercised through few thousand
troops They have no respect for the Americans,
but rather hatred An army of the most civilized
of ltions quartered in hostile country is not cal
culated to inspire the affections or the loyalty of
the resident civilians. Filipinos are people of

pacific methods brought encouragement. Off ieIs

guise Soldiers feeling that every native filled
with murderous malice are not apt to be very con-
consderate especially when their officers say that
the more Fiipinos or niggers they kill the better
they will like it. The very atmosphere is charged
with mutual hatred, and hatred breeds cruelty.

HOT TIME IN THE OLD COURT HOUSE.

After the heat of passion engendered by the Cato
examination of last week shall hav4 had chance to
cool the News .nclines to the opinion that those
people who permitted their blood to szzle to the
boiling-over point on that occasion, will begin to
realize that they came as near 'chumpdOm" as Is
permissible in persons not hopelessly daft.
There are times and places for all things, but the
time and place for offering gratuitous insult to a
nudge be he ever so humble, is not within the pre-
cincts of the court room where the case is deter
mined.
Some time ago a member of the congregation of a
nrominent BROOKLYN church arose III his seat and
characterized statement of the officiating clergy
man as a lie The man was, very properly, arrest
ed. Next day in court, he pleaded guilty, at the
same time insisting that the statement of the
preacher was a lie Il have no doubt of it, said
the Judge, ''but the church was not the place in
which to nail it,
To enter into the merits of the Cato case while
the matter is still before the in another form,
would be highly improper in public journal, but
the News believes it to be entirely within its prov
nce to denounce the conduct of the attorneys whose
Incorporate language contributed to, and those
spectators who we're but a .ap behind IN the most
undignifed and Incorporate afterclap to court =
Alexander St. Clair-Abrams may be a great law
ver but that fact does not necessarily carry with it
license to insult the court which decides against
him. the dignity of which, as member Of the bar, he
was in bounden duty to respect and protect.
When he stated to Justice Rowton that he was
told on the street that morning what his decision
would be- and declared the Judgment of the court
to be sthe most damnabe outrage perpetrated
upon a white man in the state of Florida" he may
have uttered truth. but in expressing it at that
time he gave utterance to a classic in police court
pettfoggery which not only out of place In a
man of his standing but so palpaby contemplate
as to earn for him the of all men who believe
that decent respect for law should be held para
mount to the bias Of a paid attorney whose stock
in trade consists largely in ability to make an
exhibition of indignation at the drop of the hat.
The audience was not wholly to blame 1T was
pulled INTO the affair by an attorney who ought to
have known better but didn't, and citizen who
didn t know better but should.
The scene was disgrace to the city, and merits
disapproval at the hands of all good citizens, no
matter on which side of this affair they may choose to
line up
The work of the attorneys in the case, while priv
legged in a court of limited Jurisdiction, neverthe-
aities tended too strongly to widen the breech be-
tween factions and was not calculated to inspire
spect for the part of the spectators many of
whom probably, never before saw the inside of a
court house.
