The trouble between Venezuela
and the European powers, growing
out of an attempt by the latter to
collect, by force, certain debts from
the former, has drawn the atten-
tion of the worlds powers during
this week. Venezuela put up a
bold front at first, but now realiz-
ing its inability to cope with such
overwhelming odds, has agreed to
submit to arbitration. This was
not done however, until her navy
was destroyed, and one German
officer killed. The United States
will be called upon to settle the
differences, but it is not believed
the South American Republic will
abide by the decision of the Court
of Ar bitration.

No WHITECAPISM FOR Will
KlNSON COUNTY.

We do not wish to appear in
position of "kicking before we are
spurred" but there prevails an
uneasiness in the north eastern
portion of this county that the
White capism now prevailing in
Amite county, will be injected in
to our county, and a few words
anent this matter, at this time,
may be opportune, especially as
we express the will of the law
abiding citizens of our county.
We were informed a few days
ago by a gentleman who lives in
this county, but near the Amite
county line, and who had just
come from Gloster. that the out
growth of the resolutions recent
ly passed in Amite county, was
that a few nights ago parties Of
white men had visited every ne
gro in the county, who owned his
land, and those working on the
lands of merchants, who had no
white man as 0verseer on the
! Mace. and told the former that
they could stay under the condi-
ton that they hired mo outside
labor, and after their sons were
of age that they must go and work
for white man, and the latter were
ordered to leave at once. The re-
suit is that the negroes are crowd
ing to Gloster and Liberty TO the
merchants, who can give them nc
aid. What good can come from
this condition of affairs, we are
unable to say, and we leave 1t with
our neighbor county to fight out
But as to our county we wish tC
make few pointed remarks. The
white people and negroes in thi,
county are enjoying peace anc
harmony. and all are prosperinf
together, and any attempt by any
man, or body of men, to disturb
the existing conditions, will bC
met by the united power of tht
law-abiding residents of Lthis
county. The sentiment of out
people, generally, is against th'
actions of our neighbors of Amt,
and such a condition of affair."
would not be permitted to exis

Rumors have reached this Office
of the reorganization of the white
cap" bands of Franklin and Pike
counties and we are told that the
negro labor in the sections where
these organization exist is very de-
moralized because of fear. The
white cappers" are composed
mostly of class of whites who are
too trifling and lazy to work them
selves and are jealous Of the pros
perity of their negro neighbors. 1t
is not a matter for pride that any
community should have such citi-
zenship, for it is a we'll known fact
that when a negro goes beyond the
limits prescribed for him any white
man can administer correction"
without prejudicing his interests,
financial or moral, and when the
whites organize for the purpose of
whipping negroes at night they
brand themselves a band of towards
with the spirit of assassins. Fay

THE BOND ISSUE CARRIED.

The election held in this town
on last Monday, for the purpose
of empowering the Board of AL
dermen to issue Bonds for the
erection of a system of Water
works and Electric Lights was an
exempli6catIon of the spirit of
progress and improvement with
which our people are now imbued.
Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather l05 voters, out of
a total of Ill, came to the polls,
and only four of this number ex-
pressed their wish to allow the
town to remain in the same old
rut; the remaining 101 favoring
municipal Improvement.
The people of this town may
feel Justly proud Of this over
wheImingmaiorjly,r the out gre WITH
of which will be the upbuilding
of the town, the benefits Of which
will be felt by all. No town can
enjoy prosperity in this day and
time, without water-works and
electric lights, and now that we
are to have both, we will be able
to keep we'll up in the van of pro-
gress. Factories will come next
and prosperity will be ours, if we
are only willing to put our shout
der to the wheel.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
wants to colonize the negroes of the
United States in the Philippines,
giving each. twenty acres of land
but the KANSAS mule is not includ-
ed. The Senator contends that
the clamatic conditions of the Is
lands are well adapted to the well
fare of the negro and under his
scheme they will prosper. This is
very unusual proposition, coming
from such an able man as Senator
Morgan, who. being soutlierner,
should know better. The South is
fhe place for the negro and there
he must stay. The south and the
Negro, have become welded by nat
ural conditions, and the prosperity
and future welfare of both depends
upon their union. Should such a
scheme be put afoat, perhaps few
fool-hardy negroes would leave, but
they would be in such small mum
bers that their absence: would nev-
sr be felt-

President Roosevelt, it is stated,

Lauren and Money that he will pay
no attention to any recommends
tions made by them for appoint

conpanied by the Interpretation
that Referee Wilson and Booker

The Press of Mississippi is uni
. ted in its efforts to assist in bring
ing the guilty to justice, and the
effect is being felt in the charges
of the different Judges, and in the
reports of the grand juries. The
duties devolving upon the grand
Juries are many and their power
wide in scope, and largely upon
them depends the execution of the
law. Hence their failure to do their
duty in the way of assisting in fer
feting out crime, places them as
defenders and incubators of crime.

ROYAL QUALITIES.

Here is brief tabulation of the principal points
of Royal Mattress virtue.
1. The Royal Elastic Felt Mattress possesses
sufficient give softness that it will readily
conform itself to the shape of the body and thus
duce the best kind of slecpt is softer than the soft
est hair, besides possessing elasticity and DUR
ability.
2. 1t possesses a 1eathful resistance, elas
ITCHY which, while giving away to the weight of the
body, continues TO exert this sprnginess upward
3. 1t is non-absorbent of moisture mineral gases
and it's purity is unnuenced either by the oils and
moisture of the body, by the surrounding atn1os-
plIere==it floats in water.
4. 1t is composed of material which is hostile to
moths, vermn and germs of every kind, whereas hair
wool and feathers invite these evils.
5. This material is evenly distributed and of
such nature to retain it's shape and elasticity for
very long period unimpaired.
6. It's price is sufficiently reasonable as to
make the comfort and purity it represents far
worth having than the money it costs.
