PREPARE FOR THEIR COMING.

1t is not going to be many months
at least not many years, before there
is going to be great rush of immi-
grants to the south from the northern
and northwestern states and our peo-
pie should be prepared to receive
them. The rapid development of the
south is attracting attention as much
if not more than the west did at one
time, and the tide of immigration
will begin to flow in this direction
soon. When it starts it will be like
who are too slow to move even when
the spirit commands them, will have
to slide from under or they will be
crushed to death.
As a most favorable section for rails
ing early vegetables aud fruits the
south has no equal, and as a molasses
and sugar producing section it is pre-
emminent over all others. Another
advantage and the best inducement
to immigrants is that the lands are
cheap. 1t is true they are selling at
n price five or ten times higher than
they did a few years ago, but even at
the present price they are considered
cheap, and are cheap if we consider
the advance in price they will reach
within the next few years.
The south, especially south Missis-
sippi, is being thoroughly advertised
and the attention of northern farmers
is being attracted to the wonderful
and marvellous development this sec
ton is making. Just consider for a
moment that Perry county's realty
and personal property within the short
time Of twelve months has increased
nearly a million and a half dollars,
and then look at the hundreds Of saw
mills and saw mill industries that
have been established, and one can
see what wonderful developments are
being made. And yet this is scarcely
a drop III the bucket of what we will
have i'll the course of few years
Farmers Of the no4thern states who
are not afraid of work and who will
not depend upon crap-shooting mig
ger for ten minutes will come here to
till the soil and they will till it right
and raise train loads of vegetables to
be shipped to the northern markets.
Not only this, but they will make
fortunes out of the industry.
Therefore, let our people be up
and doing and prepare for the coming
Of these immigrants who will buy up
our lands and make this the garden
spot of the earth.

WHITE MAN TO HANG.
SUPREME COURT FIXES DEATH SENTENCE
FOR DEC. 81.
Whipping is Not Recognized as Punish
HIent For Prisoners.

The first man to be sentenced to
death by the supreme court at the
present term is Thomas Glenn, who
was tried and convicted in the circuit
court of Adams county for killing a
man named Carpenter
Glenn is laborer who went to
Natchez to spend several days having
good time, and while in an oyster
saloon one night he was insulted by
Carpenter, who called him several
vile names. Glenn left the place,
secured pistol and started back down
the street. Meeting Carpenter he
opened fire and shot him several
times, the wounds resulting in death.
In affirming the death sentence JUS
tice Terrall stated that mere words are
never justification for murder, regard
less of their vileness, and he fixed the
date for the hanging at the 31st of
December.
In the case of Bell Davis VS.. the
state, Justice Terrall decided that
whipping of prisoner is not form
of punishment recognized by the laws
of the state, and is violative of the
statutes IS now written. Further
more, it is a relic of barberism, and
the party whipped has the right to
ing suit for damages.
The life sentence case of Charles
Strickland, imposed by the circr it
court of Marshall county, was reversed
on the ground that the arresting party
upon whom Strickland fired had no
warrant for his arrest, and that
Strickland properly supposed that it
was an unlawful attempt to restrain
his liberty.
The supreme court did not decide
in the Cease of Hayden VS.. the state
whether it is necessary for an osteo-
path to have regular license as a
physician from the state board of
health. Hayden was convicted in the
circuit court of Alcorn county, but the
trial judge failed to impose n sentence
and Chief Justice Whitfield decided
that no appeal can be taken from a
verdict of guilty unless final Judgment
has been entered. The appeal was
therefore dismissed and the circuit
judge will have to impose sentence
uopn Hayden before it can be decided
as to whether osteopaths are engaged
in the practice of medicine. Clarion

pOssesSlOn,

Some of the coast towns are trying
TO enfocre the Sunday law. If the
law Of every other day in the week
is enforced the officers are doing we'll
But what Biloxi and Gulfport are try
ing to do is to break up ball playing
on the Sabbath day and close the back
doors of the saloons. 1t is questiona-
BILE whether there is any harm to play
ball on Sunday and as to closing the
saloons that can be easily done.
Vote the town dry and there will be
no more open licensed saloons, but
there will be about ten blind tigers to
every open saloon now and they will
not close on any day or night, and
will be.wide open to the youth as to
the aged. When town gets tired of
the open saloon let it try the blind
tiger for few months, and it will be
sorry it ever discarded the saloon.

1t is stated that in the late election
Montana elected a man treasurer of
the state who was dead at the time.
One consolation is that in after years
he will not wish he had died while
aborning. But observation shows in
Mississippi that to hold that office it
requires very live man. He must
be able to figure, fight or fly as the
case may present itself. He has got
no outfigure the governor, fight his
enemies or grab the money and fly,
like Burke of Louisiana did. No
dead man can hold the state treasury
ship of Mississippi, nor, it seems, any
live man. 1t requires all the qualifi.
cations noted above, and then he
should understand thoroughly the ge-
ography of the world and especially
the location of Crusoe's island.

Railroads are corporations and cor
porations are supposed to grab every
thing in sight and chase after that
which they cannot see. But obsreva-
tion teaches that the more railroads a
city has the better it is for the city
and the more railroads that run
through section of country the bet
ter it is for the section. If no roads
had ever been built in the wild and
woolly west the wild and woolly west
would have been wild and woolly yet.
Ifstlde Gulf and Ship Island road had
never penetrated the counties of
Simpson and Covington those counties
would not be on the road to wealth
and prosperity as they are now. If
the road had never left Gulfport there
would be no Gulfport or deep waetr
harbor down there, and the entire
state and this part of the south would
: have been the loser. Therefore the
construction of railroads should be en-
couraged, and factories and other such
enterprises with the roads should be
exempted from taxation for a number
OF years both by the state and the mu-
nicipal governments. Corporations,
though they are considered heartless,
have made Mississippi what it is
today and have increased the wealth
! OF Perry county nearly million and
q hlaf dollars within the past twelve
aonths.

CARRIE NATION, H. D.,
IN A RAILROAD WRECK AND PASSES A
LITTLE CAIN
Because the Injured Are Given Whiskey-
Insults Young Man.

The Black Diamond Express, the
Lehlgh Valley roads show train,
jumped the tracks out on the Hacken-
sack meadows yesterday afternoon in
manner which the management Of
the railroad says is inexplicable, says
the New York Sun. Mrs Carrie Ma
tion, H. D., of Kansas, was one of the
passengers After the accident she
Jared the officials of the railroad and
the other passengers who, like herself,
had escaped serious injury, much
more than the accident itself had dis
turbed them.
Fifteen Or twenty persons were hurt
by the accident. Some of them were
knocked unconscious and many were
faint and in great pain. Some quick
witted person ran to the dining car of
the train which had not left the rails,
grabbed two bottles of whiskey and
supplied the contents thereof literally
TO the wounded and frightened. Mrs.
Nation promptly threw a fit that 4eor
violence and general indifference was
right up to the Home Defender stan
dard. She bounced her fat person up
and down the rows of helpless victims
Of the accident, begging them not to
soil their immortal souls by tasting
the vile poison, and threatening
those who were administering the
stimulant with present bodily chas-
tisement and future damnation.
She was not regarded with great
consideration, so she went out on the
path by the side of the track to call
the police to help her to stop the per-
petration of the outrage. She found
there a young man passenger trying
to calm his nerves with a cigarette.
1t took Carrie about six seconds to de-
eide that he was the modern Jonah
who had caused the interruption of
her journey to Mauch Chunk, where
she was going to deliver lecture.
No wonder the good God visited
his wrath upon us, " said she, plant
ing herself square in front of the
young man.
He did not think her interesting
and tried to walk around her.
Did you hear what said, young
man? % she asked Il said that il
was no wonder the wrath of God hit
this train"
1T did, all right, said the young
man, surveying the reformer lady
from head to foot with great delib, "a
ton. Then he turned on his heel to
walk the other way. Carrie jOggled
around to the other side of him and
smiled at him broadly. if not warn
ingly.
my dear. " said she, throw away
that cigarette.
mo, thanks, - said the young man.
"Then l will,'' said the reformer
lady, and she reached out her gentle
hand and yanked it from his lips and
hurled it at the Hackensack meadows
before the young man knew what had
happened.
THANK you,'' said she. Nov,
young man, want you to come and
help me make those brutal scOundrels
i'll there stop pouring rum down the
Threats of those helpless men and
women who have been hurt. " The
y .ag:g :nan shook his head and made
5iEing escape out into the meadows,
leaping from tussock to tussock i'll the
swamp until he found one big enough
to perch on, SO he could smoke another
cigarette in peace.
Carrie could not follow his antelope
course.
