any rate, !, for one, am sorry to see
the South so far superior to US 10
this respect, and l hope that, with
the sad example Of the North before
them, our southern brethren will not
suffer the horseback habit to fall into
disuse."
It was mentioned some weeks ago
that when President Roosevelt was
visiting National Park at Chattanooga
he was escorted by q detachment OF
Federal cavalry; but when the presl.
dent, who is a rough rider, broke into
a fast gsllop, the csvalrymen, in try
ing to follow him, were not equal to
the pace, but many of them fell from
their horses in a most disgraceful
manner. Such cavalry in a break
neck charge, even if not single gun
were fired at them, would be de
fested, if not destroyed, from ina.
bility to ride.
Major Heros Won Borcke, an Off
Ger in the Prussian Dragons, who
became an officer in the Confederate
cavalry, under the, celebrated Gene
raj Stuart, in his memoirs of the
Confederate War;" published in 1866
in London and Edinburgh, by the
famous Blackwood firm, declared
that the Southern mounted troops
were the best light cavalry in the
world, and he excepted none, not
even the Cossacks.
Mounted men for rapid movements
are what is wanted today in war, and
the army, other things being equal,
| that possesses tho best and the great
eat number of them, will win in bat
tie.

Paris, September 29.-Emils zols,
the novelist, who gained additional
prominence in recent years because
of his defence o. the Jews and OF
former Capt. Dreyfus, was found
dead in his Paris home this morning.
Asphyxiation, resulting from the
fumes of a stove in his bed room, is
given as the cause of death.
M. lola and his wife retired at
3 O'Clock last night. Madame Zols
was seriously i'll when the room was
broken into this morning. About
noon she was removed to a private
hospital, where she recoved conscious
nesa for q short time end was able
briefly to explain to a magistrate
what had happened. NJ. and Nine
lola returned to Paris from their
country house at Medan yesterday.
Owing to a sudden spell Of cold
weather the heating stove in their
bed room was ordered to be lighted.
The stove burned badly and the
pipes of the stove are said to have
been out of order.
To the magistrate: Nine lola ex.
planned that she woke early this
morning with 8 splitting headache.
She wakened her husband and asked
him to open a window. She saw
him rise aud attempt to move to
ward q window, but he staggered
and fell to the floor unconscious.
Nine lola tainted at the same mo-
ment and was, therefore, unable to
give the als1m.
Nine lola does not know of her
husbands death and it is feared she
may suffer a relapse when informed
of it. 1t is thought tonight, how
ever, that she will recover.
The death of NJ. lola, which only
became generally known late this at.
ternoon, has caused

GRANTED BAIL.

r. B. Tennyson, who in June
of last year was tried and con-
victed of the killing of Morris
Drees, and who since that time
has been lying in jail awaiting a
new trial, which was granted by
the supreme court, appeared be-
fore Chancellor H. L. Muldrow
on a writ of habeas corpus last
Monday. The trial of the case
occupied two days, and upon It's
completion Chancellor Muldrow
decided that Tennyson was enti-
tled.to bail and fixed the amount
of his bond at eight thousand dol
lars.
The writ was issued by Chan
eellor Adam Byrd and was origi-
nally returnable before Judge
Stevens, of West Point, who re-
fused to admit Tennyson to bail.
on the ground that Chancellor
Byrd, in issuing the writ, had
given no reason for making it re-
turnable before the West Point
judge instead of himself. Upon

NO LOaFERS WANTED.

AN exchange says that Missis-
sippi is a mighty poor place for the
idIer. That is true, but there are
thousands of idlers in the state,
not from necessity, but from pre-
ference. One can stand on the
streets of any town and count idle
negroes and some white men by
the hundreds, and yet wages for
labor, especially in the southern
part Of the state, are better than
any other state in the Union. It
is SO easy to live without labor
that many negroes take advan-
tage of it and refuse to work at
all. 1t is very probable that not
twenty five per cent. Of the negro
population does steady work, but
a very large per cent. does steady
stealing, steady gambling and
steady blind tiger whiskey drink
ing. Out of the hundreds of ne
gres in this city, We venture to
say that not fifty of them or half
that number could be induced to
work today at the rate of two dol
lars per day. 1t has been repeat
edly tried. Some means should
be adopted to make the officers
enforce the vagrant law. There
is not an officer who could not, if
he would, point out negroes and
some white people by the dozens
who he personally knows do moth
ing under the sun for a livelihood.
They rub up against him every
day, stand in his way on the
and show by their action
that they disregard the law and
do not care copper who knows
it. The time is coming when the
people will rise up and force these
idlers to work or walk, and then
there will be a great huge cry
about whitecapism. T h e e
threats are heard every day and |
they will burst forth soon like a
great conflagration.- n.-Hattiesburg

THE EXTRA SESSION DOUBTFUL.

According to press reports, Gov.
Longino has formally declined to
call an extra session of the legis-
lature, giving as his reason there
for, that the need for such a ses-
sion is not great enough, nor the
demand sufficiently general, to
warrant him in doing so. Many
people, however, who are famil-
lar with the insurance laws, with
which the extra session would
be called upon to deal, differ with
the governor IN this matter, and
believe that the need for an extra
session is imperative, and it is
more than likely that they will in
sist that the same be called.
The following special, which
was sent out from jackson Tues
day, explains the position which
the governor has taken in the
matter:
'FThere will be no extra session
of the Mississippi legislature to
repeal the valued policy clause of
the state insurance laws, and the
problem of securing cotton insu-
rance must be settled by some
other method. The movement in
progress to work up sentiment in
favor Of an extra session and in
duce the governor to convene the
body has not met with the en-
couragement expected, and some
of the legislature have
declared open opposition to the
scheme, while many others man
ifest a very cautious reluctance
in venturing an opinion on the
subject in response to the query
being sent out. Governor LOngi-
no has heretofore stated that he
does not propose to respond to
the demand unless it becomes a
d general one, and there is little
hope of securing the desired
awakening from the apathy now
being manifested, -

The HOLINESS MEETING

The series of Holiness meet

tent in the Franklin Academy
yard for the past ten days closed
with the services which were
held last night. These meetings.

establishing a doctrine which
they teach in this vicinity. and q
pretty story IS going the rounds
to the effect that the prayers of
the Holiness brethren are re-
spOnsible for the rains which
have recently visited this section.
Capt. r. Z. Moore, one of the
most prominent planters of the
county, heard Of the Holiness
people and the wonderful work
which they had accomplished.

kill from his bOyhood and hav-

zealousness and sincerity of pur-
pose, invited him to visit his plan

1t was stated sometime since
that the officers of the Mississippi
National Guard had decided not
to hold a state encampment this
year, but from the following or
der, which was recently issued by
Adjutant- General Henry, it seems
that they have usurped the
prerogative of the fair sex and
change their minds.
''After consulting with MAJ
Ged. J. S. Billups, it has been
determined to hold a general en-
campment at Biloxi of the entire
national guard of the state, prob
ably about the 18th of August,
1902. and continuing for ten days.
Orders as to time will be issued
later. You will at once take
necessary steps to carry these
orders into effect.
"You will report to these head
quarters at the earliest possible
moment the number of men, rank
and file, of each company avail
able for camp duty. No compa-
ny will be allowed in camp which
cannot take at least 75 per cent.
of its number of men on this tour
of duty. All reports will be ver-
flied by an inspecting officer ap-
pointed for that duty while in
camp.
1.-The amount available for your
regiment for this encampment is
ST, ,355, which amount must cove
all expenses, includi ng subsist
ence and transportation, except |
transportation of camp equipage |
shipped and returnable to these
quarters. The above apportion-
ment is made On basis of the
of your regiment as of
record in this office.
every company must be re-
qnired to perform this tour of du-
ty under these orders. Compa-
MES failing to report for duty will |
be dealt with according to law.
Company officers must be held
to strict accountability by you in
the performance of this duty, and
such charges and specifications
for failure to do so must be pre-
ferred to the proper officer for
courtmartial proceedings, and
steps shall be taken to
have said company mustered out
of the service of the state.
'sThis encampment must be
conducted on strictly military
basis, covering all duties of a
soldier, under the supervision of
a superior officer, and they will
be held accountable for the result
which is hoped will prove in
structive and beneficial to the
esprit de corps OF the Mississippi
National Guard.

PUBLIC OFFICE PRIVATE SNAP.

Embezzlement and malfeasance
in office seems to have become
very popular among the state and
county officers of Mississippi dur
ing the past twelve months.
Hardly had the trial of Banker
Phil A. Rush, who was charged
with embezzlement in the recent
state treasury muddle, been COM
pleted when the announcement
came that S. Dover, treasurer of
Sharkey county, was twenty
thousand dollars short in his ac-
counts, and close upon the heels
of this comes sensational charges
against the board of supervisors
of Tallahatchie county, who, ac-
cording to the recent report of
the grand jury, have been swind-
ling the people in various and
sundry ways. The following
special to the Birmingham News
recites the charges in detail:
A very breezy sensation has
been created in Tallahatchie
county by the report of the grand
jury, in which charges of a grave
nature are made against the
board of supervisors of the coun-
tY.
The grand jury charges that,
while it was impossible to to OBJ
tain absolute evidence, there is
good reason to believe that a por-
ton of the bridge fund set aside
for the construction of bridge
across Tallahatchie river was en-
bezzled; that the contract for the
new court house was let at an
extravagant price, and the board
permitted the contractors to take
the plans and specifications be-
yond the reach of the grand jury
for examination, IN flagrant vlo-
lation of section $40 of the code;
that numerous contracts for other
work have been awarded without
advertising for bids; that an alb
stract was purchased for 50, 500
without advertisement; that a.
county health officer was employ
ed at a salary of $500 per annum
when the work had been previ-
ously done at $50 per annum.
To cap the climax of its sensa-
ton the grand jury indicted J. A.
Morgan, a member of the board
of supervisors, on the charge of
keeping a blind tiger. Deep re-
sentiment has been aroused
against the board in the county
on account of the exposure, and
it is understood that a public de-
mand will be made for the resig-
nation of each member.
