was gaining fast upon him, but he didn't
care. what would 1t feel like when it
was tearing his fesh?" flashed a thought
through his heated brain. Then he heard
a low murmur like running water. The
silvery ribbon from the moon danced in
wavelets before his eyes. and he gave a
tremendous jump. He reached the other
side in safety. but the cat was less fortu-
nate. There was a splash and a plunge and
the water was dashed over the ice. Tay-
Tor fell and his trousers were soaked. The
cat went on down stream, but under the
ice. He soon comprehended the situation.
An uprooted stump was in the center of
the stream and such speed was added TO
the current by its striking this obstacle
that it did not become frozen. There was
an open space of about five feet Taylor
jumped without knowing why, and landed
safely on the other side, but the animal
went under. He thought it was a narrow
escape and got back to camp soon as posi-

INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES.
General Allen Taylor was one of the
interesting characters of Clark county. He
was over ninety years of age, and full of
"reminiscences of old times and people.
Twenty-Five of the ~twenty-seven presi-
Dental elections were held within his life
time. He remembered many Incidents of the
war of 1872. Shortly before his death he
related this story of Tippecanoe:

MISSISSIPPI DAY
FINE ENTERr AiNMENT AT THE SCHOOL
BuIIDING LAST NIGHT.
Fine Speeches From Fine And Prominent
People.

There was a Mississippi day at the
school house last night and all the
kids of the neighborhood and the
most Of the old folks were present.
The program was a fine one and car
ried ont TO professionalism is all the
most important points. A great many
people were present and they enjoyed
the entertainment If they did not
il was their own fault and not that of
the children or of the superintendent
Of the school.
Claud Hill is a chip of the old
block and he made one of the finest
speeches ever made by a kid in the
hall. He was defending Jefferson
Davis; 1.-the traitor" and he did it
In great style. He said many good
things about that old patriot that put
some of the people present to think
ing-some things that they had not
read about in the latest almanacs.
Then the resources of the state, a
paper that WAS carefully prepared by
some one who knew his business, was
read by that charming little Miss
Helen McLendon, who, though she is
not a Mississippian, is pretty and
sweet nevertheless.
But the best thing of the whole
program was the beautiful tribute of
Miss Marion Smith to Irwin Russell.
1t was the finest thing of the kind
that was ever produced in the school
building and was highly commented
upon by all those who heard it. Miss
Smith is an artist in her line and she
won last night golden opinions from
the large audience present.
Brother E. J. Currie made the peo-
PIE d little talk What he said is a
matter of history, but everybody i'll
the city does not know its history,
though this is very young city. He
said that nine or ten years ago, before
the old shanty school builCing was
burned, there were only four teac hers
and seventy-five pupils. That school
went down in ashes. Now there is an
enrolment of about 100 pupils, two
$40, 600 school buildings and ten or tif
teen teachers. He also predicted that
in the next few years there would be
a school in every ward of the city.
In all the entertainment at the
Main Street school building last night
was the most enjoyable as well as
edifying occasions of the kind that
the city has had in many days.

he CUT A WOMAN,
And Then Stealing a Horse Skipped
Out For Other Parts.

There was a family fuss down i'll
Pine Park last night about 8 O'Clock
and in consequence a negro woman
was badly slashed with knife in the
hands of Henry Nix, and the negro
Nix is in the county Jail charged
with attempt to murder.
About the hour named above Henry
Nix had fuss with the woman whose
name could not be learned, caused
from Jealousy, it is said. He drew
long knife and began to slash her
seriously on the face and throat, but
it is not supposed the wounds are
dangerous. Then, believing that he
had committed murder he stole
horse in the immediate neighborhood
and left for parts unknown. But he
reconsidered the matter and an hour
or so returned to learn whether or
not he had killed the woman. He
went into house i'll the neighbOrhOod
and the negroes discovering this sur
rounded the house. Nix, the would
be murderer, tried to escape, but some
other negro put load of squirrel
shot into his back and he was asked
to remain in the neighborhood until
a policeman could be sent for. Two
of the policemen about that time APP
peared on the scene and took the negro
i'll charge and turned him over to the
sheriff and now he is resting very
contentedly III the Jail.
1t was nothing more than family
fuss, but still it was an attempt TO
commit murder on the part of the
niger Nix.

NEED OF DECENTRALIZATION.

The magnitude of the United States in
Cecil Rhodes Napoleonic scope of view of
world affairs, though he was always
busted with enterprises on the other side
of the world, while very agreeable to
American pride, is another proof of the
mans bigness, moral or immoral.
There are probably members of the
British cabinet who know no more Of the
United States than the occasional indi-
vidual in English private life who thinks
that all Americans are Indians or mixed
hloods. Until recently it has been con-
sidered mark of high rank in England
not to be informed, except in the haziest
fashion, about the United States. But
Rhodes was SO impressed with the de-
velopment and expanding power of the
republic that it is now shown that aside
from the work he was actually doing the
greatest preoccupation of his life was a
consideration of means to bring about the
union of the English speaking peoples,
with the United States supplying the piv-
otal difficulty.
Rhodes saw that the constitution of the
United States was far better adapted to
federation than the English form of gov
eminent. In the latter parliament spends
much of it's time in dealing with criminal
law and petty local acts which could more
properly be dealt with by legislative sub
divisions. Its scope covers both the
minutest local matters and the greatest
imperial matters. 1t is in need of de-
Capitalization. Acts relating to the en-
pire as whole ought to be passed on by
a Legislative body representative Of the
empire, while English, Scotch. Irish an6
Welsh local law-naking should be at
tended to by smaller legislatures.

USELESS JIM. =

Copyright, 1902, by the S. S. Mcclure Co.
Jim Doty was the son of industrious and
thrifty parents, but he was no exemplar Of
the doctrine Of hercdity AS a boy he had
gone to school because if he had not gone
there tn etruant officer would have made ex-
istence elsewhere uncomfortable for him, and
Jim dearly loved to be comfortable. At school
it was easier to remain at the foot of his
class than higher up, so he philosophically
chose the easy thing and stuck to it. Jim
was not mischieyous boy or bad one in
| any sense, because those attributes require
! effort to maintain them. AS somebody had to
be at the foot of the class, and there were
! those who were discontinued there the
| teacher accepted .;im as a special providence
and made the most Of him.
| tits beyond me about Jimmie his mother
| was wont to say ''He amt bad boy nor
up to no mischief, and you'd think when he
went to school he'd learn his lessons Just
| because he didn't want to learn nothin' else,
but he won't learn a single thing, good or
| bad. He just seems to be everlasting do-lesa
! settin' around and settin' around and settin'
| around. And I'm sure he don't get it from
the Anderson side of the house neither"
| Mrs. Doty was an Anderson, and this con-
clusion Of hers was an unsupported animad-
version upon Mr. Doty because that worthy
man not only made a very comfortable llv-
ing, but owned a small farm and had money
| laid away for g rainy day.
| When Jim was old enough to go to work
| his father secured place for him to learn
the carpenter trade which was rather sur
