Is it right to take care of your

Death Of Can't. E. ". Brown.

Capt. Brown, Clerk of the Su-
rreme Court, died at his home at
jackson on the 18th. Cancer Of
the throat was the immediate cause
Of bis demise.
The Jackson correspondent of
the mcs-Democrat says:
Capt. Brown was one Of the
'noblest Romans of them all,
and there was not a more popular
or generally beloved officer and
man in the State. He was but
just completing his second term
as clerk Of the Supreme Court,
and had just been nominated by
the Democracy of the State for a
third term by a handsome majority
and against an active opponent,
although he was himself on his
death bed during the greater part
of the canvass.
Capt. Edward w. Brown was
born in Kinds county, Missis-
sippi, in 1910. His father, Drury
Brown, and mother, Sarah f.
(Wells) Brown, were natives re-
spectively of North Carolina and
South Carolina, who settled in
Kinds when very young, where
they were married. Drury Brown
was for number of years sheriff
of Kinds county, and the son,
Capt. E. W. Brown, was the Oldest
of eight children born to his
parents. He was reared at Ray
mond and educated at Mississippi
College at Clinton. In 1861 he
joined Company A of the Tenth
Mississippi Infantry and served
about one year at Warrenton, on
the Gulf coast. He then re-en-
listed in the Thirty sixth Missis-
sippi Infantry, and was soon after
wards made a sergeant major of the
regiment, and about two months
later adjutant, which position he
held until the close of the war,
serving with the Southern army,
taking part in the fight at Vicks-
burg and other hard fought en-
gagements. Afterwards his regi-
ment joined Johnson's army at
Selma, Ala, and took part IN the
Atlanta campaign. Capt. Brown
was wounded at Altoona, Ga, while
on his way back to Tennessee
under Hood, and was captured
and held a prisoner of war for
thirty days. For some time after
being discharged as prisoner he
lay sick in a Federal hospital, and
joined his command after it fell
back to Blakely, near Mobile,
where it was disbanded.
After the war Capt. Brown
taught school in Claiborne and
Copiah counties. Later he en-
gagged in farming until 1875,
when he.was elected circuit clerk
of Copiah county, which Office he
filled with great satisfaction for
twelve years. In 1887 he was
elected sheriff of the county, and
was reelected sheriff again in
1889. In 1898 he was elected clerk
of the Supreme Court when that
office was first made elective by
the people, and he was filling this
position at the time of his death.
Capt. Brown was genial,
whole-souled gentleman, the very
soul of honor and scrupulously ex-
act in all of the refinements of
courtesy. His courtesy was not
mannerism, but the outward man
Hesitation of a heart orimful of
love for his fellowman, and his
hand was ever extended to answer
the calls of charity.

Monticello, Miss, Sept. 49,.
Charley Pittman and George Pitt
man. negroes, we're hustIed out Of
Monticello last night BY officers,
who feared their prisoners would
be lYnched. The two negrose on
Sept. s resisted arrest and fired on
Sheriff Fox and Deputy Garrett.
They are alleged to have killed j..
L. Nelson near Brookhaven a
month ago. Ord Pennington, who
was with Nelson at the time he
was assassinated came 10 Monti-
cello Sunday to identify Charles
Plttman. He would not say
whether the negro was the man or
not. That night mob demanded
the jail keys of Sheriff Garrett,
who gave it the dodge, after iden-
tifying several, and the crowd dis
persed. All thought the trouble
was over, until it became reported
that Mr.. Pennington said that
Charles Pittman was the negro
who murdered Nelson, but that he
would not say SO to the officers.
Last night the attempt at lynch
ing was renewed, but by quick
work on the part of the Sheriff
and his deputies the negroes
necks were saved.
The store Of Mrs. Mary L. Can
non was entered by burglars last
night and the safe blown open.
The safety vault was not broken
into, and very little cash was Sc
cured. Hon. G. Wood Magee's
horse, bride and saddle were
stolen. The telephone line was
cut, and there is no clew as to who
did the. work.

Senator Noel Bitten by a Mad Doe.

The distressing news comes that
Senator e. 4. Noel was bitten by
a mad dog on last Thursday. He
was at Ackerman, attending court,
and was going from his hotel to
the court house when attacked and
bitten below the left knee. He
left at once for the Pasteur Insti-
tute at Atlanta and there is every
reason to believe he will soon be
all right again.

over by a heavy runaway oyster
team at the Canal and Bourbon
street corners last Satur-
day. He. had just saved
his little son, when he was struck.
His right leg was broken above
and below the knee and his left
arm broken and split open below
the elbow. When he regained
consciousness in the hospital he at
once asked If his son was hurt.
Being assured by the little fellow
kneeling beside the couch that he
was unframed, he smiled and was
satisfied.
