Henry L~Oechner.

The Jaeksonian club will be up to its
neck in trouble next Saturday night. when
the report Of the special committee on the
South Omaha democrats who bolted the
candidacy Of Loechner for mayor will come
up for final disposition.
The report was presented and recon-
mended that T. J. Nolan, John FitE
Roberts, D.. s. Parkhurst and John McMil-
Ian be censured in writing by the presi-
dent Of the club for refusing to support
the regular democratic nominees. II was
signed by w. II. Herdman. Ed p. Smith and
A. Hugh Nipple. members Of the commit-
tee, and bore down In the most caustic
language on the boilers, who, 1t was de-
clared, had lost caste as democrats by
their action.
The adoption OF the report was vigor-
ously opposed by Jim Dahlman, formerly
chairman Of the state committee, who de-
clared that any democrat had a right to
bolt Loechner because Loechner had bolted
Bryan in 1896. /. J. Dunn opposed &C
tion until the members concerned had been
given an opportunity to be heard In their
own defense.
The reorganizers, whose sentiments were
voiced by w. H. Herdman, took a bold
stand in favor of throwing open the doors
to the gold democrats. and declared that
the fact that Loechner had bolted Bryan
was no excuse for the action Of Nolan and
his followers. The democratic party, in
order to win, Mr.. Herdman declared, would
have to get 1000, 900 gold democrats back
into the party. and no democrat had any
right to bolt one Of them who became a
candidate for office.
Action was finally deferred until next
Saturday night, when a warm time is prom
ised. To make matters more interesting at
the next meeting. Mr.. Herdman will speak
on the Right Of the Democracy to Reor-
sanize II 1t Wishes" e.

The Proposition Whether or not to
Work the Roads by Contract.
OPINION FROM ATTORNEY. GENERAL
Regarding the Working of the Roads
by Contract.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Senatobia, Oct. 27. - The Tate
county board Of supervisors has deci-
ded to allow the people to vote on the
proposition to adopt the contract road
law, and the matter will be submitted
at the regular election in November
In response to a request from the Tate
county board for ruling on the road
law, and if the county can adopt such
portions of the measure as they see fit,
Attorney General ,,McClurg has replied
ed as follows:
"Under chapters 81 and IS of the
laws of 1898, and sections 1929 of the
code, the board of supervisors may at
any regular meeting classify the pub
| lie roads of the county into first and
second classes, or any district into a
class, and divide each class into road
districts and work either class, or any
district of class, by hands and over
seers, and others by contract at the
same time and levy a tax to be ex-
pended on the contract part or parts.
This may be done without adopting
the contract plan for the entire
county. The levy must be general
upon all taxable property of the
county and upon an order entered on
the minutes showing aff1rmatively
the labor and communication are INSULT
cent for working the roads by con-
tract. A special tax may be levied
upon property contiguous to shell,
gravel or macadamized roads that ma
terially enhance the value of such
property Contracts cannot be let in
lump for any supervisors district, but
must be for certain classes or divis-
| ions of classes.

COCAINE Used
AMONG NEGROES
Rapidly Increasing in All
Parts of the State.
AND has BECOME ALARMING
Thousands of Victims May Be Found
Among Them
TO SUPPRESS THE EVIL
A Legislative Act Has Been
Suggested.
0 SUPPRESS THE EVIL
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct. 27.-The alarming
growth of the use Of cocaine 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
cocaine habit is demoralizing the race
in this state, and its growth in recent
years has been phenomenal Thous-
ands of victims may be found among
the negroes, and in the delta section
the habit is almost general. The
drug has quick and demoralizing
effect, and the negro succumbs
quicker to its seductiOns than white
man, and when the habit is once fas-
tened upon him he rarely reforms.
1t has been suggested that a law
should be passed making it crime
for any person to use cocaine except
on a physicians certificate. In 1900
the Legislature passed an act forbid
a 'physicIan's prescription, but the
law is ignored by ninetenths 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 it.
Physicians state that if the habit
among the negroes is not suppressed
aud radical steps to this end taken
very quickly it will mean the utter
ruin and final determination Of the
race in the south. On almost every
street corner can be met the victims
of the drug, and men and women alike
use it freely. Merchants who have
CLOSELY observed the growth of the
habit say that it has almost sup
planted the use of snuff among the fe
male negroes, and that snuff sales have
been falling off very perceptibly for
the past three or four years.
1xThe press of the state is taking up
the subject and urging the adoption
of some radical method to save the
negro from self destruction and the
officers are being advised to look more
closely after the law regulatingSthe
sale of thesdrug.

Showing That Masonry Existed Here
Before Americas Discovery.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PICTURES
Lines and Other Demarcatious
Made on the Stone.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Summit, Oct. 27.-Members of the
Masonic fraternity throughout the
world will be very much interested
and greatly surprised by a discovery
which has recently been brought TO
light in Pike county, this state.
AS is we'll known, the history Of
Masonry is almost as old as time
itself and the Masonic historian fre-
quently finds many evidences of the
existence of the craft in unsuspected
places. For the first time on record,
however, evidence has been found that
Mason ry once existed among the In
dians in some form, and proof conclu-
sive is given that members of the craft
in the early days of America penetra-
ted into the wilds of the unexplored
domain and lived in peace and amity
among the Indians and infused into
the children of the Wilderness the
principles and teachings of Masonry
Mr.. Alexander Hughes, of Pike
county, man of nnquestionad yerac-
ity and integrity, when quite a youth
ploughed up from an Indian mound
about twenty miles from Osyka a piece
of shale or soft stone bearing Ma
sonic carving and delineations, and
the stone has been turned over to Mr..
Brittian B. Purser, of Osyka, mason
of high standing, who has prepared
an interesting description of the hier
ogliphics which show that the maker
had correct knowledge of the Ma
sonic craft, and that he was not only
q fellow craftsman, but was in pos
session of accurate knowledge of three
degrees.
On the diverse side of the stone are
delineated two oblongs, one within
the other, and the angles are each in
dicated by an arc of ninety degrees.
Thus is pictured the form of the
lodge, horizontals, perpendiculars and
right angles. Within the two OBJ
longs, and near one end, is carved a
small part of the Masonic pavement
Near the other end and within the OBJ
longs, are pictured square, the other
being concealed beneath. One leg
of the square is longer than the other,
indicating the carpenters rather than
the stonemason's square. On the re-
verse side are delineated the two OBJ.
longs, the angles of ninety degrees,
but within the inner oblong is sym
Dol of the human heart pierced by al
arrow. The stone is carved to rep
resent closed book, and while there
are no letters or characters to indicat,
the fact, it is supposed to represen
the ''book of the law. -
Members of the fraternity of emf
nent degrees who have examined tn
book express the belief that it wa
carved by some Frenchman membe
of the fraternity who lived among tn
Indians in the early days of America
and was placed in the Indian noun
rs tallisman. In the early days tn
southern part of Mississippi the tie
between the French and Indians weI
matrimonial and commercial, and
is possible that they were made fratel
nal as we'll. But when and how ii
stone came TO be placed in the Il
dian mound may never be known

TWO OF THE AMENDMENTS
May Be Defeated at the November
Election.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Jackson, Oct. 27.-The indications
are that a merry war will be waged
on at least two of the constitutional
amendments to be voted upon at the
November election, and it is by no
means certain that either of the num-
Der will carry at the polls, as an un-
expected amount of opposition has
developed.
The voters in the delta are suspi
cious of the amendment providing the
manner of inserting constitutional
amendments at the next session of the
| legislature after the measure is voted
upon, and it is expected that a heavy
vote against the amendment will be
polled in that section of the state.
The railroad aid amendment has also
come under the ban of suspicion, and
the opposition to the amendment pro-
viding for regular biennial sessions of
the legislature is especially strong,
many electors believing that the state
has entirely too much legislation un-
der the present arrangement, and that
the statute books are heavily bur
dened with the useless laws, the strict
enforcement of which would greatly
curtail personal liberty. There is
another large element of voters who
are opposed to constitution tinkerine
on general principles and will vote
in the negative TO prevent the docu
ment from being so altered anC
2 changed that in the course of a few
years it would be in fair way t.
become unrecognizable
