THE COCAINE HABIT
Doing Great Harm to Negroes in
Mississippi.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss. says:
The alarming growth Of the use OF CO.
caine among the negroes of Mississippi
has caused the suggestion to be made
that more radical laws should be enacted
for the suppression of the evil. The CO.
caine habit is demoralising the race in
this State, and its growth in recent years
has been phenomenal. Thousands of VIC
tins may be found among the negroes.
and in the delta section the habit Is al
most general. The drug has quick and
demoralizing effect, and the negro sue
cumbs quicker to its seductions than a
white man, ana when the habit Is once
fastened upon him he rarely reforms
1t has been suggested that law should
be passed making It crime for any per-
son 10 use cocaine except on q physi-
clans certificate. In 1900 the Legislature
passed an act forbidding the sale Of the
drug except upon a physician's prescrip-
ton, hut the law ia ignored by nine-tenths
of the druggists in the State, and they
sell cocaine to all corners without fear
Of punishment. The law is OF no avail
because no effort has been made by the
authorities to enforce II.
Physicians state that If the habit among
the negroes IL not suppressed and radical
steps to this end taken very quickly it
will mean the utter ruin and final ex-
termination of the race in the South. On

DIED OF LOCKJAw.
Little Margaret Campbell succumbed
 to Tetanus Yesterday


 to Tetanus Yesterday
 Margaret Campbell, six years old. daughter of Mir and Mrs. John D. Campbell of 24 Forbes avenue, died at her home yesterday morning from lockjaw. The child was vaccinated at the New Haven City dispensary on September 16. She suffered the usual illness consequent upon the inocuIation, but did not recover, and ten days ago was so violently ill that Dr. Stephen J. Maher of PIP Orange street was called in.
 Dr. Maher diagnosed the case as te- tanus and applied his skill to reliev- ing of the child and on Saturday noti- fled Medical Examiner Bartlett of the case, the child being then dangerously il.
 While the physician says there is no doubt that the germs entered the child's system through the wound caused by the vaccination, still so long a time had elapsed between the vaccination and the first symptoms of
