O'Clock two white men attempted to
burglarize the residence of Rufus
Bynum in West End. Mr.. Bynum

his pistol for the purpose of giving

The sudden and unexpected death
OF the beloved wife OF our worthy

gloom over the entire membership
Of thfs lodge. Words fail us when
we attempt to convey to him our
deep sympathy in this hour of his

Another Arrest Made.

Another arrest was made late yes
terday afternoon in connection with
the attempt of Norman Biggs TO OBJ
tain m@ney on a forged note. A
young man named Charley Mitch
ell, also from the Ferris country
came here yesterday with Biggs and
spent the day with him around
town. After Biggs arrest Mitchell
got in his buggy and started for
home. He went by the way of Will
mer and as he droSe into that little
village about sundown an officer
took him In. RE was brought here
early this morning and lodged
In Jail. He denies being impli-
Gated with Riggs in his
little escapade, and it now develops
that he has trouble of his own. An
indictment for swindling will doubt
less be returned against him by the
big twelve. 1t appears that Mitchell
was little shy Of coin last week and
as the Waxahachie Loan and Trust
company has money toloan he very
readily obtained 800 at that institu-
sion by giving mortgage on sowe
stock and his cotton crop. The
property turned out to be imaginary
and now the young man will be Civ
en- plenty of time for serious re-
Election over the matter.

CONDITIONS IN ELLIS COUNTY
Decrease In Cotton Acreage in
Some Sections.

In the Dallas News yesterday
morning appeared its cotton report
for month Of June. According to
this report there has been a slight
decrease. .in tire acreage as compared
9Th last wear In Central and
Eastern Texas this decrease is due
to a greater diversification than
ever, the farmers of these sections
turning their attention more to rails
ing rice, cane and vegetables. In
some sections of North Texas lice
are reported to be working on the
plant. Following is report as made
TO the News by Ellis county
correspondents:
Ennis There In about the same
acreage in cotton that there was
last year. The plant is for the most
part usually well grown for the time
Of year. The stand is good and the
fields are clean of weeds and grass.
The plant has good BODY and color.
No pests have appeared of any con-
sequence.
Ferris After inqniring OF quite a
number NJ reliable farmers and
Judging from my own observation |
will state that there will be a de-
crease in the cotton acreage In this
portion of Ellis county of per cent
from last year. The cotton plant is
strong and in fine condition and a
very good stand. The decrease Is
caused by farmers putting in more
of their land In corn and feedstuff.
Italy--The acreage is cotton is
lust about the same as last year,
with better stand. 1t is generally
clean and growing nicely.
Midlothian The cotton crop is ut
present ia good growing condition
aud is we'll advanced for the time Of
year. The acreage IL not greater
than last year, The crop is well
cultivated and promises we'll, and
has not suffered from insufficien-
ey't of rain. Farmers are feeling
40 nneasiness in regard to disasters
to their cotton, and seem 10 think 1t
much too early to form an intelli-
gent opinion as to the outcome.
More attention is being paid to 9TH
er crops In this end Of the county,
aud cotton is regarded as only an
important late crop.
Palmer--Gorn good, with an in
crease In acreage Of 30 per cent over
last year. Cotton also good at pres
ent. Increase q per cent. Oats
very sorry and short. Decrease in
crop from last season OF 10 per cent.
Wheat acreage about . per cent
short; also light crop. Alfalfa very
good, with q decrease of = per cent.
Sorghum fair acreage, about as last
season. With good rain in week
or ten days there will be a good
corn crop assured.
Waxahachie-Th has been
some decrease In the cotton acreage
In this section this year as compar-
ed with last, being as near as can
be estimated about 10 per cent de-
crease. The plant as rule is in
fine condition, healthy, vigorous
and Of good size, and prospects for
. good crop at this time appear to
be as good, II not better, than for a
number of years. The crop gener-
ally Is clean and only needs rain at
a proper season to make a full crop.

Judge Henderson will be sure to
bring on contest for the office OF
postmaster, made vacant by his

have been ready to forward to the

the Assistant Postmaster, and who
has had practical charge of the
Office, and son of the deceased
Postmaster, will doubtless, in due

Since the returns have been re-
ceivcd from all counties showing
the total Congressional vote on
the 4th of November 20 be only
|17,078, reports are coming in from
many parts Of the State of failu-
res Of the election officers to open
the polls on election day. This neg
lect was manifested not only in
the rural precincts, but in the
|citie and towns as we'll, aud it is
roughly estimated that five per
cents Of the polling places in Mis-
sissippi failed to open, while in
numerous instances the validity Of
the election could be contested,
anybody see fit to do so, ON the
ground that the election had moi
been properly held. At Friar's

MISSISSIPPI PHYSICIANS.

There is no professio n more
honorable than is the practice of
medicine, and none more, if equal
Importance to the people. There
fore, every effort of the profess
sion to protect the people against
impostors, incompetents an d
quacks is highly commendable on
the part of health boards, and re-
ceives the unqualified endorse
ment of the masses.
Here in Mississippi we are
blessed by high grade of medi-
cal men, who are ever striving to
elevate their profession and to
guard the people agsinst the impo-
sition practiced by those who have
not reached that standard know
ledge which would entitle them
to practice medicine as a profess
sion. However, there appears to
be a large number in the State
who are engaged in the practice of
medicine who have to pass the re-
quired examination which would
entitle them to a physicians IL
cense. The law of Mississippi pro-
hlbiting this class from entering
the practice of medicine is very
stringent, and those convicted OF
administering to the sick as ply
sicians must atone to the offend.
ed law.
That the people should be pro-
tected every intelligent person not
only comedies but demands, and
the announcement that the State
Board of Health has determined
to prosecute every person practic-
ling medicine in the State who is
not legally licensed physician will
be received with universal salts
faction by the people Of the COM
monwealth.
The several district attorneys OF
1.-THE State will be asked to assist iu
apprehendlng and bringing to the
bar Of Justice all offenders against
the medical law, and that they
will promptly and cheerfully re-
|spond to the call goes without
saying.
The member Of the state Board
of Health for this district, DR.. Ill.
M. Folkes, is especially active in
the duties of his office, and will
leave nothing undone within his
power to protect the people, as
we'll as his profession, from those
who are guilty Of practicing medi-
cine without license to follow
the practice.
If the other districts in the State,
and they no doubt are, have mem
Ebers of the board who are as ac-
tive in the work as is DIR. Folkes,
those practicIng medicine in Mis-
sissippi without being licensed will
soon realize that "the way of the
