THE LIQUOR
QUESTION
PrOhibitiOnistS Have Not
Made Much Roadway
LITTLE INTEREST AROUSED
In the Proposed Convention to Be
Held February ~.
BUT PROHIS ARE WORKING HARD
And Will Endeavor to Smoke Out
Some Of the Candidates.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Jacskon, Jan. 15.-The prob BIZ
tionists of Mississippi have not sue
ceeded to any great extent in arousing
interest in the mass convention to be
held in Jackson one month hence for
the purpose of formulating plans to
make statutory prohibition one of the
leading issues of the POLITICAL cam
paign of the summer.
1t was proposed to organize county
conventions throughout the state at
which delegates to the Jackson con-
vention would be selected. but de-
movement is being shown by some of
the friends of the cause. particularly
the church workers, and much of the
apathy is doubtless due to the divid-
ing vote by which the prohibition
resolution were adopted at the re-
cent Methodist conference.
Although the present outlook is TO-
q small attendance at the convention
on the 18th of February, the prohibit
tionists who have fathered the move
ment are not discouraged, and the
W. @. 7. u. officers give assurance
that the campaign will be relentless
from the beginning and ceaseless
efforts will be made TO smoke out
the candidates for the state and county
offices and force them to declars
themselves on the liquor question.

MUST CONCILIATE.
New York Herald.

Now the president cannot shut his
eyes to the fact that the white popu-
lation of the southern states has
strongly developed and very tena-
ciously prejudices with regard to the
negro question. There is no necessity
to discuss the justice of those preju-
dices. Their existence and strength
cannot be denied. When, therefore,
the president takes an initiative that
is protested against by majority of
the population he not only commits
grave political blunder, but also
egxceeds his moral authority.
The possible consequences of such
a step as the nomination which has
aroused storm of indignation in
the south cannot be considered with
out apprehension. 1t would take
very little of this kind of admins
tration to light the flames of race
war in which the principle sufferers
could only be the negroes. Public

idealistic theorizing, and is usually
embittered and made more obstinate
by opposition. The great colonizing
powers of the world-Rome, England,
Holland-have all shown that they
realize this truth by conciliating the
people under their rule with respect
of their customs, creeds and even pref
udices. The attitude Of southerners
toward the colored race-whether it
be due to custom, creed or prejudice
is very unpromising one, and the
situation is one that calls for great
circumspection in its treatment.
Every friend of President Roose-
velt, therefor. must deplore his ILL
advised attempt to row against such
tremendous current of public opin
ion that is, to set has personal
views, be they never SO respectable,
against those of the vast majority OF
his fellow countrymen.

Steam without Boiler.

South Bend, Ind, Oct. s.-Through
an invention by F. S. Smith OF South
Bend it is claimed the mechanical en-.
gineering world is to be revolutlonlzed
and that in the future engines will not
REQUIRE boilers to generate steam. In
stead they will be supplied with steam
generators. -,
Smiths invention was completed
within the last two months, the patent
Office having alloweud seventeen out OF
nineteen claims Of the inventor. The
greatest advantages claimed for the
Invention are that it is non-ezploding,
very simple to operate and compact,
resulting in a great saving of fuel.
The generator can be used for power
and heating purposes. 90,
It is claimed it does away with
safety valves, steam guages and water
glasses. There is 10 storage OF steam,
as every ounce is used just as fast as
it is generated.

The Peabody Education Fund.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. Following the
organization of the Association of
Southern School Commissioners in
this city today resolution was adopt
I'd by that body protesting against the
using of the Peabody education fund
for the establishment Of Southern
normal school. In their resolution the
Association states that many Of the
school teachers throughout the South
are located in rural districts and they
would not be able to attend such a
school and that the fund would be de-
voted to the establishing of the differ
ent schools instead of one college.
One of the chief objects of the Con-
vention was to issue a circular naming
the defects of public schools and advc-
eating some cure for the same.

Tennessee, was elected president of the
Association, and Superintendent j. g..

Probably the most unique case ever
appealed to the supreme court of Iowa,
will come up for a hearing at the
October term, says an Iowa Falls let
ter. The case involves the characters
of city mayor, bloodhounds, chick
en- roost, the chief of police, the dea-
con of Methodist church and sundry
others. J. W. McClurg, is a deacon
in the Methodist Church at Valley
Junction, small place in Polk coun-
ty, and the owner of fine flock OF
fowls. It appears neighbor had lost
some of his chickens and an appeal
was made to the authorities of an
adjoining city to track the thief with
bloodhounds. Several scents we're
followed but lost, and the hounds were
again and again taken back for new
cast. Finally they struck strong
scent and traced it to the deacon's
chicken house. The officers, conf
dent that the missing fowls had been
located, forced open the chicken coop,
but failed to find the stolen property.
Deacon McClurg brought action
against the city officials, including the
mayor, the chief of police and sundry
municipal magistrates, and claimed
s2O, 900 damages. The lower court
failed to find in the deaconz's favor,
and so this appeal is taken to the
higher court in hopes of securing JUS
tice.

The blow transposed the deakon sum

had telergaphed President Roosevelt
Withdrawing invitation and that be
was glad Of it, in light Of subsequent
events. Judge Gary said this was 60
ing too far, that the matter was irrel-
evant.
MIR. Croft asked as to impressions
these editorials made on him. He said
it embittered him. AS to one editorial
he said it had in it, "About as much
venom as rattlesnake.' After several
editorials had been mentioned he said,
ssCol. Croft, I was black-guarded so
often I quit paying any attention to
them.'
He emphatically denied that he had
ever made any threats against the life
of Gonzales except the ones testified to
by Doctor Adams and Col. Blease.
On the night of the campaign meet
ing in Columbia it was currently ru-
mored that an attempt would be made
to assassinate him. and he said. "lf
Gonzales attempted to have him assas-
sinated he would kill him.
Thousands of times threats Con
zales made againts him were commu-
nicated to him.
On the morning of the shooting he
went mp street, with Senator's Brown
and Talbird. He saw Gonzales COM
ing down street looking at him and
lust as Gonzales got within few feet,
he turned across the pavement to-
wards him, at same time glaring at
him and thsusting his hand into his
pocket. Expecting Gonzales to fire,
prisooer fred at him, saying, got
your message"
Asked what message, he said, y
was little unfortunate, perhaps, in
the use of the word. The message 1
referred to was the conversation the
day before with Capt. White and MIR.
Holsenback.

Gonzales and The State Office.
Asked if he expected attack from
The State Office he said, "Why, GER
tainly, did, had heard about that
State Office down there being an arse
nal.
On cross-examination said he had
carried pistol for some time expecting
attack from Gonzales.
There was some confusion of state
ment about the various pistols and
conflict with affidavit of prisoner in
application for bail. The prisoner
was still on the stand at recess for
dinner. McGhee.
