White Men Attempt to Force Negroes to
Leave beaumont aud Are Worsted.
Beaumont, Tex, Nov. 10-Late last
night gang of twelve white men
went to a negro settlement near the
oil field, known as Little Africa, for
the purpose of warning the negroes to
leave. They arrived there, warned
the negroes that they must leave at
once or be killed. The negroes
thought differently about it, and
when shot was fired by the attack
ing party it was returned at once.
From the number of shots fired 1t
appeared that there was battle in
the dark, but the net result was the
wounjing of one man and the waste
of a lot of ammunition.
Max Weyrich of San Antonio, the
wounded man, who is not badly hurt,
said: THE whole trouble is caused
by the negroes cutting wages in the
oil field We determined not to
stand 1t any longer, and went there
to drive them out. There was a
fight. and got load of buckshot in

was injured
The sheriff's department has been
busy all day, but Weyrich is the only
man who admits that he was present.

The gun stores have sold out nearly

thing has been arranged for festive
function to be honored by the royal
presence, the advent of the draft
hunter has resulted in an irritating
disarrangement of the whole con-
Germ.
At one such banquet in the city
year or two ago the tables had been
laid in superb style, and preparations
were well adyasced in view of tie
royal visit, when the draft hunter arr
rived on the scene, made careful
suryeysof the room, and, finding that
the kings chair had been thought
lessly placed between two doors, at
once ordered it removed TO a remote
part of the chamber.
The change was effected, but the
alteration necessitated the rearrange-
ment OF all the tables, and involved
the stewards in three-hours' anxious
and arduous labor. But they profited
by that experience, and, prior to the
next banquet, they consulted the
draft hunter as to the best position
for the royal chair.
When the royal visit is to build
ing with ordinary doors and windows
the duties Of the draft hunter are
not very perplexing, but the social
functions attended by the king are
often celebrated in a canvas marquee
or some temporary structure Of
wood and such places abound in
drafts, which are sometimes difficult
TO locate and are yet more difficult
TO prevent. II is insuch dilemmas that
the royal draft hunter excels.
On one occasion az a fashionable
hazar TO be opened by royalty, be in
sisted on the regal chair being moved
TO the opposite side of The marquee
because Of an insistent east wind
which would have been risky for the
king TO encounter had he occupied

The new railroad commission at
its meeting last week ordered the
erection of a new union depot at
Corinth, same to be completed with
in the next six months. An order
was also passed requiring the South
ern railroad to erect a suitable depot
at Baird. A rate on shingles aud
laths was established conforming to
the present rate on lumber insti-

THE ROYAL DRAFT-HUNTER.
one of the Kings Body Guards who
Sees That the Royal Chair Il
Not In "A Draft.

One of the most unique occupations
of to-day is probably that of draft
hunter TO royalty, for we believe that
it is followed by only one parsonage
in the kings domains. The gentle
man upon whom this peculiar, but
essential, duty devolves was installed
therein by the advice Of his majesty's
physicians, in the interests of the
kings health, says Stray Stories.
The novel vocation had its origin
in very ordinary occurrence. The
king. when prince of Wales, was kept
abnormally busy attending many
state and social functions ON behalf
Of his aged mother, our late beloved
queen, and ii was found that in per-
forming his regal duties on these oe-
casions he frequently contracted Sc
we're chills, owing to the carelessness
of irresponsible officials, who placed
the royal chair or dais in the direct
line of penetrating draft from some
door or window adjacent.
The royal physicians, ever solicit
Gus for the health Of their august
charge, but unable to travel with his
majesty everywhere he went, soon
traced the trouble 80 its source, and,
deeming prevention better than
cure" advised the adoption Of a spe-
cial official, whose specific duty
should be to inspect every place Wis
tied by royalty and to make quite
cure that the royal seats were cffec-
lively protected from subtle and
treaeherous drafts.
II will be readily understood that
such ap osition as this can be nc
sinecure. The king is one of the
busiest gentlemen in the kingdom
His imperative engagements connect
ed with state affairs are numerous;
his social engagements are even more
manifold and ardnous; and at al
these affairs he Is preceded by the
ubiquitous draft hunter. who makes
It his duty to carefully shield hii
royal master from possible chills
The gentleman referred to has LONG
since besome expert in his profession

doubtless spared the king ru1sa dis
| comfort.

Ny northern friend who asked me
to hold up on the negro and let him
go dead has sent me aesipping from
Newport paper and say; Here is
a good text for your next letter" 1t
reads as follows: Newport October
l4.-At a meeting Of the school COM
mittee to-day George Ellis and wife
objected to having their SON taught
by colored teacher and said that if
their son was not admitted to another
school where the teacher was white
they would keep him at home, The
committee refused TO change him and
ordered the boy to be arrested as
truant. The father filed plea Of not
guilty and the case wilbgo to the high
er court and be tested They have
compulsory education there. 1t seems
that this teacher is the daughter of
a preacher, who is an American con
sui at st. Thomas. He is loyal repub-
lican and there is politics in it, and
the lily whites are in the minority.
She may be one of the 400 that Wat
terson is troubled about, and so | will
turn over the text to him. The same
mail that brought me the text brought
letter from my grandson, who is in
the employ of the Westinghouse COM
pany, of Pittsburg, and is an electric
engineer, and is now putting down a
plant at Utica, N. Y. He writes that
his contractor has a number of white
men employed, but as labor was scarce
he picked up an idle negro and told
him to go to work The white men re-
belled against this and threatened to
quit, and the negrolLad to be sent off.
When | was last in Mississippi the bar
Der who shaved me said he came down
| from Illinois on account of his health
and was amazed to find white folks
down here patronizing negro BARRIERS,
and that il one dared to open a shop
in any town in Illinois he would be
mobbed and run out Of the place. Like
Banquo's ghost, this race problem will
not down. 1t has as many phases as
there are times and places. Shortly
after the war the Yankee school
marms hurried down here to educate
the negro, but they soon tired Of il
and went back. Now negro woman
has gone up there to teach the white
children. That is all right. We don'i
care. AS Cobe says: ''It's all option
ary with me-" Now will let the negrs
go dead for awhile. 1t will take many
years yet to settle the problem, but
it will be settled The two races worl
together very harmoniously in oul
town and county and we are reconcilet

REVENUE AGENT WINS.
Judgment For 100000 Against the Iili-
nois Central Railroad In Favor of
the State of MississtDDi.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-The su-
preme court this afternoon affirmed
the decision of the Kinds county chan
Gerry court in the celebrated back tax
suit against the Illinois Central rail
road, wherein the State revenue agent
obtained a judgment against the COM
pany for back ad valorem taxes, inter-
est and damages aggregating about
$700,0C0 The opinion was one OF the
lengthiest ever handed down by the
court, and its reading by Special
Judge Cayce consumed one and one
half hours.
The judgment is clean-cut victo-
ry for the revenue agent both on the
law and the facts, and the cause will
be Immediately carried to the United
States supreme court for final decision.
The taxes for which judgment is Sc
cured are on the Louisiana, New Or.

and Columbus branches of the system
from 1886 to 1901 inclusive. The case
has been in litigation since 1894.

the total vote from those in hand is

R~ttlenags of Mississippi.

The director of the department of
archives and history is collecting
data relative to the historic battle
flags of Mississippi. 1t is known
that many of the bullet-pierced and
blood-stained banners of the Gonfed-
eracy have bene sacredly preserved
by the patriotic people of Mississip-
pi, and detailed information about
them is desired. 1t is an interest
ing historical fact that six flags have
waved over Mississippi at different
times, representing the sovereignty
of six governments. The director is
anxious to know if there is in exist
ence a flag of the State of Mississip-
pi which was adopted by the seces-
sion convention of 1861. In order
that such flag may be identified the
following description is given
White ground, the magnolia tree in
the center, a blue field in the upper
left hand corner with a white star
in the center; the flag TO be sur
rounded with red border and red
fringe at the extremity. This is the
standard known as the @bonnie blue"
flag, and the director is particularly
anxious to know if it or any copies
are in existence. He would appre-
ciate any information along the lines

Al scheme for a wholesale Jail delivery

er prisoners from the county jail.
Late yesterday evening one Of the
negro prisoners. Willis Ambrose.
charged with murder, wrote note to
Deputy Sheriff Bransford to come TO
the Jail. that he had something to
communicate. The deputy sheriff went
at once and was told that Mcdonald
and the other prisoners had been at
work for a week digging hole
through the brick wall and had ev.
erything in readiness to leave last
night. Upon inspection of the Jail
it was found that a hole two feet
square had been dug through the out
er wall of the Jail and all that was
necessary for escape was to push out
the few bricks On the outside and
all would have been done. The man
Ambrose refused to take part and 1t
is alleged that Mcdonald told him
that If he refused to go with the 9TH
ers they would kill him and make
their escape. The conspiracy was
discovered barely in time to save the
crew. 1t has further developed that
woman came here about three weeks
since from Taylor. Tex, to see Nc

way assisted Mcdonald in getting two
