Other Suits, and the Biggest
Docket in the
COURT HISTORY OF THE COUNTY.
The Two Weeks Exhausted and a
Special Term to Begin at Once.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Ellisville, Oct. 1t.-Circuit court
convened here today promptly at 8
O'Clock, this being the second week
Of this term in Jones county. -. :
The civil docket was taken up. The
case of the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas Ciy railroad VS.. Louis and Har-
riett Tucker, in which the defendants
sue for 81, 800 damage for lands in sec
aions and II condemned for right
of-way, has been in progress all day,
but has not yet been concluded. In the
trial of this case in the lower court
the defendants were awarded 81, 125
and it was appealed to circuit court
by the railroad.
All of last week except Saturday
afternoon was consumed in disposing
Of the criminal docket. There were
no criminal cases of any great magni
tude, he majority of them being mis-
demeanors. Gus Loeketty coiored,
plead guilty to being into residence
and stealing and carrying away cloth
ing and various other articles, and
was sentenced to serve term of one
year in the state penitentiary.
Ernest Stalworth and Tom Collier,
colored, indicted jointly, entered a
plea of guilty to burglary and grand
larceny and were given terms each of
five years in the penitentiary.
Jesse Stark, colOrd, plead guilty to
shooting with intent 20 kill, sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary.
Porter Howard was tried, convicted
and sentenced to serve one year for
attempting to kill one Will Jenkins.
They are both gentlemen of color,
and were Jail birds at the time of the
alleged assault in the county Jail.
According to Jenkins, Howard made
an assault upon him with barlow

ards narrative of the tragedy was
that Jenkins cut his own throat in an
unsuccessful attempt at suicide. No
one but Howard and Jenkins were con-
fined in the Jail at the time Jenkin' s
throat evidenced determined attack

ture.
There are ninety-three cases on the

known in Jones, county. Only a few
have been disposed of as yet. There
are only thirteen cases on the appear
ance docket
A special term of one week has been
called to follow the regular term OF
two weeks. 1t is probable that the
entire three weeks will be consumed
in disposing of all the civil cases now
pending.

THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE
In the Schools of the State is Being
Discussed.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct,. 14.-The study of
agriculture is the latest subject pro-
posed for the public school curricu-
lum of Mississippi and many of the
leading educators of the state arr. Civ

1t is argued that as Mississippi is
essentially an agricultural state, and
nine-tenths of the people are engaged
in some branch of agricultural pur-
suit, that the children should be
given instruction on the subjct they
are to depend upon in later life for
sustenance.

Trouble in Getting Men Who Are
Willing to Serve
VERY SMALL VOTE WILL BE POLLED,
AS There is No Opposition, Voters
Will Not Turn Out.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct. IA. - Judges and
clerks for the congressional elections
to be held in November will be selec-
ted by the county boards of election
commissioners within the next few
days, and other arrangements made
for the formal election of the demo
cratic nominees chosen at the August
primaries
Much trouble is generally en-
cOuntered to induce the judges and
clerks selected to serve. The average
business man does not care to be
bothered with an election when there
is nothing doing in the way of
a contest, and it is invariably
the case on election morning that
it is necessary to hunt up substitutes
to serve for the persons regularly
| chosen. A November election in
Mississippi, even when a presidential
contest is on, is about the most infor-
NAL and spiritless event of thefkind
that could be well inaugurated No
body takes the trouble to vote except
the few who happen to be passing by
the polling places during the day, and
it is no uncommon sight to SEE. "a busi-
ness man go by his voting precinctsen
route to dinner and the idea will never
occur to him that he ought to stop
and drop in ballot just to keep up
party appearances.
There is not another state in the
union where smaller per centagefof
the qualified vote is polled at the No
vember election than i'll Mississippi,
and the average electOr rather regards
it as impudence to suggest that he
ought to put himself to the trouble
to exercise his franchise when there
is no contest. Party pride in this re-
spect is almost an unknown quantity,
for democracy is so strongly entrenched
that the people regard it as matter
of course, and after the early battle
is fought out among themselves the
subject is dismissed and attention
turned Ito the next party contest.
Among some classes of voters the
November election is unconsciously
regarded as somewhat in the nature
of a government institution, or an
useless appendage to the election
machinery Of the commonwealth i'll
which they are in no wise concerned.
1t will be a surprise if forty per
cent of the registered vote of Missis-
sippi is polled next month 1t is more
likely to be in the neighborhood of
twenty-five per cent. Only two of
the congressional nominees have ta-
ken the trouble to address their con-
stituents since the primaries were held,
and the authors of the three ascend
ants to the state constitution have not
even issued circulars addressed ex-
planning the objects of the measures
they propose to incorporate in the or
ganic law of the commonwealth.

whence Comes ELECTRICITY,

At time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face of the globe,
when it has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for US, it is curious to
notice how completely ignorant 'the
plain man" remains as to the later de-
Velopments of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that vague notion that electric
ity is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through a telegraph wire
like water through pipe is about as
Tar as he has got, and if we add to this
some knowledge of what he calls ''elec-
trio shocks we should probably ex-
haust his ideas on the subject. Yet
this is not to be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as to what electric
1ty is. and the only point on which
they agree is as to what it is not
There is, in fact, perfect consensus
OF opinion among scientific writer's

stream Of ponderable matter, as is a
liquid or a gas-and that it is not a
form of energy, as is heat. Outside
this limit the scientific Imagination is
at liberty to roam where it listeth, and,
although it has used this liberty to a
considerable extent, no definite result

and took from his pocket threepenny
piece to pay for it, which he placed on
the edge of the table.

arc light can be made to produce
sounds in two ways. One is by placing
the arc in the circuit of telephone
instead of the ordinary receiver, and
the other is by placing it in the circuit
instead of the ordinary transmitter.
