A MEAN ACT.

That assassination case out q short
distance from Laurel several days ago
ii eliciting considerable interest and
it would not surprise the Oldest in
habitant of old Jones county that
some very prominent men are con-
nected with the murder of the young
man. 1t is such an easy matter these
days to kill man and such an easy
matter to prove that the murderer was
in some other part of the country
that it is no surprise what develop
ments may be made in this case or
others of the same nature. 1t seems
that the young man was murdered out
in the woods away from anyone else
and after his body was found, though
before life had become extinct, he was
put into box car at the camps and
there allowed TO die without any at
tention whatever After he was
know TO be dead parties who lived
at the camps or near there proposed to
bury him early Sunday morning in a
negro grave yard and before an inquest
was held liz further seems that some
Of the other white men of the camps
objected TO these proceedings and pro-
tested, and proposed to stop the burial
proceedings, this having 10 be done,
the report is, by rescuing the body by
force from those who had determined
to put it into the ground without fur
Their ceremony. If these are the facts
in the case then the officers have
good clue to the perpetrators of the
dark and damnable deed. Those so
much interested in the quick disposal
of the body certainly knew something
about the death of the young man
and the means that led up to the com
hitting of the crime.
This matter should be thoroughly
Investigated and the officer who fails
to do his duty in the matter should
be kicked out of Office and over the
garden wall. 1t does not matter what
manner of man the murdered man was
so he was human being and blood Of
our blood Assassination is one of
the greatest and msot atrocious crimes
that can be committed.
A dispatch yesterday to the Meri-
dian Press has the following to say re-
garding the efforts the officers are
making TO bring the guilty parties to
justice and it is hoped they will be
successful in their efforts:
Deputy Sheriff Luther Hill, Police
men Holifield and Bounds and several
other deputies went ont to E. G.
Camps this afternoon and brought
back under arrest the following par
ties: J. J. Harper, R. T. McCor-
mick, Walter Harper, Bert Johnston,
white, and Albert McGhee, colored.
The first two of these parties are
charged with murder and the other
three as accessories. They are now
under guard at the Laurel hotel.

REGENTS FINAL ESTIMATES
BELIEVE THEY HAVE DONE ALL POSSI-

TBY TELEGRAPH TO IRE rRIrrvrI


Albany Jan. 21-The executive committee
Of the Regents OF the University Of the
State OF New-York met to-day to consider
among other matters their estimates for the
maintenance Of the departments of the Univer-
sity for the next fiscal year There were pres
ent Regents Whitelaw Reid, St Clair McKelway
William c. Doane, Bishop of the Diocese of AL
bany; William H. Watson and Dr. Albert Van
derveer.
The amended Horton law (Laws Of 1901, Chap
ter 49s) called for an increase of S36, go over
the amount appropriated last year for grants
TO secondary schools This the Regents were able
to reduce 10 S3O.727 90 through an accumulated
balance in this account. In 1901 the correspond
ing increase of $50 363 was met from an accumu-
lated balance in the Academic Fund
In the original estimates submitted bv the Re
gents to Mr.. Aids. the chairman of the Assem-
bly, Committee on Ways and Means in December
last, the total increase including maintenance
and grants to schools and libraries, was 1857 So
less than the increase demanded by the Horton
law alone. The grand total of their estimates
for l9O2-'O3 called for $652,5II 90 as compared
with $685. 20 (ncluding $12, ,730 for transpor-
tation paid by the Controller) in 1900 a decrease
OF S33,S9I ~. The increase over 1901 is S31.-
oOI 80, but in 1901 the increase for grants TO
secondary schools 1885,, 1853 was met from an
accumulated balance.
The Ways and Means Committee in the AS
semby had reduced still further these very con-
servattve estimates. The Regents after careful
consideration concluded that they had already
done as much as could be done wisely in the
public interest to cooperate with the State ad
minstration in its policy of cutting off unneces-
sary expenses
The executive committee met to-day and once
more went over the estimates. II is believed
that the Committee on Ways and Means will
accept the original estimates
At the termination of their meeting the mem
bers of the executive committee had an inter
