BUY A SCHOOL.
Reported that Dr.. Nelson Viii Purchase th'
Southside Female Institute.

So far as can be ascertained DR.. James
Nelson, OF this city has practically de-
c!ded to purchase the Southside Female
Irstitut. ut Burkeyille. Va, and turn II
into q feeder" for the Woman.s College
in this city, of which institution he is
tbs president DR.. Nielsen himself Will
not discuss the matter, and the news OF
the intended purchase comes through an
utside source, which is yet entirely re-
liable. 1t is further reported that Dr..
Nelson has interested a Well-knoEn sPe-
tersburs man and some others in the
purchase of the school and the other
plans which he has along this line.
The purchase Of the Institute is one step
in a coordination scheme of his own,
which DR. Nelson is now working out. As
stated many times before. progress IS
being made in a movement to unity the
entire Baptist school system of the State.
and Dr. Nelson's private plans Will be al
together in harmony with this. JUST now
he intends to move. however, Is not
known. He is very rettcenl ABOUT tne
matter and indeed will not discuss 1t IN
anv Of it's phases. His whole object. it is
understood, is to build up system OF
..feeders,' for the Woman's College. In this
civ which institution will be developed
along large lines.
The entire faculty OF the college In
this city will be reorSani1ed and en-
larged, and some new lines OF stIdy may
be added. An effort vii be made to secure
again the services Of DR.. =, J. Becke
Of Baltimore city college. DR.. Becker
was formerly the professor OF modern
languages In the Woman's College. and
would be warmly welcomed back to the
city.
The need for new and larger quarters
for the college are daily felt. Some ac-
ton will be taken in this matter. The
Board Of Trustees VIII be called to meet
early in April and will consider the mat
ter at that time.
On next Monday the Baptist pastors
or the city will discuss the rela tionship
Of the pastors and the city churches to
the Woman's College. DR.. W.. f. l..
Smith and the Rev II. a. Basby have
/ been requested to lead In the discussion.

string it, and only 10 elections Of local

SlrlnS 1t, and only 10 eicCllohS VI Aosn'
officers.
Messrs Stuart and Richmond opposed
the amendment because it would be diff
cult to make voters in the white belt
understand that it was not a wholesale
property qualification. Tho amendment
was changed so that the property quail
f1cation could not be prescribed by the
Legislature unless the bill should be
drawn and introduced by D. representa-
tive of the county applying for it. 1t
was then adopted without further de-
bate.
FRAUDS IN SCOTT COUNTY.
There was another diversion in regard
to frauds in elections over an amend
ment offered by Judge Richmond, who
evidently made a. profound Impression
by his disclosures as to the condition
that fraud in elections was open and
rampant, and showed that it had become
so offensive to self-respecting citizens
of all parties that their situation was
desperate. AS q. strong argument III ia
vor of d constitutional provision to punish
fraud. either in elections or for bribery.
he recited the fact that he had but re-
, Gently gone before the Elections Com
mittee of the General Assembly and pre-
scented indisputable evidence OF fraud
in the Scott county election, and the COM
mittee admitted that the proof was posi-.
tive, but proceeded to appoint the same
electoral board for the county, giving
as an excuse for so doing that perhaps
they would behave better next time. He
said the only hope OF the country was
in I'll honest ballot and an honest adj
1ninistration OF the election law. Any
thing else was a perVcrSion Of a. republic
can form of government and an invita-
ton to anarchy. Judge Richmond Sue
ceeded in getting a. change Of wording
1,<T toy Jfr>- ut l1P
protected in the future from fraudulent
imposition by vote-buyers or ticket
markers by requiring that the marking Of
the ballot should be done in the presence
of a judge Of all opposite political party
from the officer whom the voter selected
to prepare his ballot.
PROCEED INFORMALLY.
From this time on there was no regu-
larty or formaIitv in tho proceedings
Mr.. Glass had charge of the subsequent
sections, offering amendments which
would be adopted without inquiry except
when Mr.. r. Walton Moore, Mr.. Braa-
ton, or Major Anderson suggested
changes.
There was considerable discussion over
an amendment offered by Mr.. r.. Walton
Moore to allow appeals from the registrar
to DO taken sixty days prior to an cleo
ton. Major Anderson believed registra-
ton should be allowed up to the day
before elections.
AT this point Mr.. Turnbull suggested
that matters of very great Importance
were being considered and voted on with
out anybody knowing what it was about.
He thought it best for the conference
to adjourn and give those members llav-
ing the bill in charge q, night to con-
slider the various amendments.
Messrs. Glass and Moon opposed ad
journment, but Mr.. BraNton favored, SO
the conference adjourned at $50 O'Clock,
having been in session hut one hour.

Small Fish.

An Englishman walking through a
certain part of Scotland with rod and
reel came upon tiny loch which he
thought held out promise Of good sport.
Patiently he fished for three hours,
moving steadily from spot to spot along
the borders of the little pond, but no
success came to him.
At last he accosted boy who had
stood for ten minutes watching him
with mingled surprise and curiosity on
his face. "My little lad" said the Eng
lishman, "can you tell me whether
there are any fish in this pond"

Headquarters wired :, Hunkers and
Foxd,sle to keep both tracks clear and
send engines and crews from both
points over the line to see what was
up. We had had two holdups in three
years in that canyon, so even such u
message as | sent could not go nn-

and Hunkers went a few firearms and
of course you fellows know the rest.
The engine from Foxdale was wrecked
just at the curve in the canyon, but
only one man was killed. though old
Pratt is leg shy today.
Spike McCree's gang had blocked the
track, and had three fellows at Fox
dale to board the train, and at the
proper point to hold up Teddy Bloss
and his fireman, and slow up as they
neared the curve. Who they were no
one knows, but they must have had
an uneasy time when that engine and
crew left Foxdale on the search. Spike
and his gang were wiped out that
night.

A Negro Burned at the Stake.
Four Thousand People Partlcipat-
ed in the Barharity-The Vic
tim Confesses and duplicates
Two White Men.

Sardis, Miss, Nov. 1.-One
negro, name unknown, hiss been
burned at the stake and two white
men, implicated by the negro in
his dying confession, are being
held by posse pending an inves-
tigation in the murder of f. o.
Jackson and mill owner named
Roselle at Darling, Miss, We'd
nesday night.
The negro was burned at Oar
ling last night by mob compos-
ed of 1000 persons from both
races. Just before the lighting
of the funeral pyre the captured
negro confessed that he had com
mitted the double murder with
the assistance of two white men.
The motive was robbery and a
considerable sum was secured,
which the negro stated was divid-
ed among the three.
After the burning a posse went
in search of the two white men
and soon captured them. They
are being held pending an investi-
cation of their guilt or innocence
and it Is believed that double
lynching will follow if guilt is
proven conolusively. The names
of the prisoners are not known.
Darling, Miss., is q small sta
tion on the Lake Comorant branch
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley railroad about 25 miles from
this point, with no direct telegra-
Phic communication.
Later it was learned that the
two white men were released by
the mob, an alibl having been
proven by each man. No further
trouble is expected tonight.

Good Natured Carrie.
She Takes Pleasantly the Taunts

Carrie Nation is certainly q
good natured woman. She smiles
and laughs at the gibes and jests
of the boys, and playfully resents
their familiar slap on the shoulder
as they say. ''Thst's good, Car.
rie, give it to ,em." At the
same time she makes good this
sort of thing financially and dis
poses of hundreds of little hatchets
to be worn like coat lapel buttons.
Last night when the crowd on
Main street was dense she and
her manager walked up, the lat
ter announcing: "Carrie Nation,
ladies and gentleman, and every
body made way for her so that
they could see the woman of mn.
tonal notoriety. She was tol
lowed by crowd of boys, yell-
ing, "Have you seen Carrie
you better hurry" but she smil-
ed at all this and told everybody
to come around and hear her at
