Race Riot in Smith County.

A bloody race war has broken out
near Burns, in the northern part
OF Smith county. Reports are that
Mr.. Craft, a white farmer, and sew
eral negroes have been killed, and
that the war is still going on. The
whites are securing the county,
shooting and whipping all suspi-
cious negroes.
The trouble began last week. A
family of negroes working for the
Bruce boys tried to jump their
crops. Bruce had advanced con-
siderable money to the negroes and
told them they would have to return
to work Or make the debt good.
When found the negroes were
with a party of friends and boldly
told Bruce that they would do nei-
Their, and that he couldn't make
them. Bruce then went to collect q
posse of friends.
While searching for the negroes
the whites were ambushed and fired
upon. Craft fell MORALLY wound
ed. The white men returned the
fire, and in turn killed several Of
their assailants, pursuing the ne
groes wherever found.
The Infatuated whites then de-
termined to wipe out all those sus-
pected of friendship to the negroes.
Reports say hat the posse is
still securing the county, whipping
and shooting all suspected blacks.

The primary election to deter
mine the next governor Of Mlssis-
slppl Is yet three months off. Many
things may happen within that time
and 1t IS preposterous to talk of fore
casting the result by counties at this
stage of the campaign. In some
counties of curse where personal
and other considerations control the
sentiment, it is easy enough to assert
that this or that candidate has the
advantage at the present time. Sew
eral attempts to make sentiment for
favorlte candidates have been made
by ~forecasting the results by coun-
ties but it will be found that a care

committee assumed, that in the pres
sure of his business, the senator had
overlooked the fact that everything he
possibly asked for in his bill is now
covered by the law; and I have the
Public Laws here; but L do not think
it necessary for me to cite to the
Senate that portion of the laws of the
State relative to taxation which says
that all stock held in corporations, with
a few exceptions, covering everything
in his bill, shall be taxed. There are
few exemptions.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: What are
the exceptions?
Mr.. GARDNER of Penobscot: 1t
may be burdensome to me, not being a
lawyer; but, for instance, Section 30,
page 80, in cases where the property
itself is taxed and pays a municipal
tax, in fairness and justice, necessarily
the stock which represents simple
ownership is exempt from taxation. ]
think the Senator will admit il would
be unfair TO tax the property for mu-
nicipal purposes and tax the stock
again for the same purpose. l do not
want to go into this matter, because it
is out of my line; but i merely assume
that the senator from Knox figured on
the same basis, and that possibly many
of our citizens did, he seemed to take
it for granted that the larger part OF
the ills of the body polite are due tc
the action Of this Legislature; anG
without looking into the matter fully
introduced a bill covering matters al
ready covered by the laws, as the COM
mittee understand it.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Pres
ident, ! beg to differ with the Senator
| from Penobscot. 1t is true that the
| plants, the real estate representing
corporations is taxed. 1t is also true
| that the stock that is held by the cor
poration is not taxed l re-iterate
now, as | did before the committee,
| that if man has $4,000 in stock in
q corporation in this State, he may
haunt it in the face and eyes of the
assessors, and you cannot tax him.
Take. for instance, any corporation in
| this State, go to your assessors books,
| and what do you find? You find SIM
ply thu real estate and whatever per-
sonal property they may have on hand
| is taxed on the first day of April; and
| if a man leaves anywhere $4,000 OF
stock. it is not taxed You cannot show
an instance in the State of Maine; and
| therefore / beg to differ. / do not care
to thrash this matter out here again
unless the senator from Penobscot
wants it. If he wishes to go into that
matter, and the Senate permits it,
will be willing to talk upon the matter
again.
| Mr.. GARDNER of Penobscot: | dc
not care to go into this matter. l as
sumo il is matter of general knowl-
edge by the members of this Senate
that the public law does cover these
matters.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Mr.. Presi-
dent wish to say right here, that

deny that the. public laws cover that
question: and the people know that il
does not cover these matters, and

tee, the report was accepted in concur
renee.

Along comes a proposition,
For improvement of the town;
Up bobs the chronic knocker,
For he'd like to knock it down.
He'll set his jaws to Vaughn,
For he cannot stand the shock,
OF progress in his village,
So he'll knock, knock, knock.
He's so queerly constituted,
That he doesn't like to see,
His neighborhood progressing,
AS it surely ought to be.
He hates to see extension
OF his city, block by block,
For his favorite occupation
Is to knock, knock, knock.
When he meets a proposition,
He will greet it with a leer;
And holler bout the taxes
AND taxes another beer.
Then his talking apparatus,
He'll wind up like a clock,
And set the thing agoin'-
Hear him knock, knock, knock
But the people favor progress,
With a feelin' good and strong.
When they meet this proposition
They'll help push the thing along
So it doesn't hinder progress,
And it doesn't stop the clock,
For this industrious objeetor,
To knock, knock, knock.
