1t is now learned that the race riot
that was precipitated in Smith county
last week was caused by a white man
trying to make negro laborer work
one Saturday evening. 1t is strange
what little knowledge some people
have of the colored race. That white
man must have come from the north.
Any southern man would have known
that negro is not going to work ON
Saturday evening. If he is induced
to work five and a half days during
the week it is the full extent of his
labor during that time, and he will
not work that many days as soon as
watermelons and blackberries come
in. Had as well to try to keep him
from going on an excursion or going
to protrcated meeting Sunday night
or from going to heaven when he is
hanged.

LIFE OF A REPORTER.

The life of newspaper reporter is
a hard one. He is some times snubbed
and that too by men who prehaps are
newspaper-made; men brought out by
the papers and held up and magnified
until the public began to take notice
of them. Here is a case that is lit
tle funny, though the gentlemen by
40 means come under the head of
newspaper made men. 1t is from the
Mobile Register and shows how hard
it is sometimes for reporter to get a
small piece of news that would be of
great benefit to the genreal public:
AFTER the morning conference re-
porter for the Register called upon
Colonel E. l.. Russell, chief counsel
for the Mobile and Ohio. He was
asked if there were any developments
in the strike situation. He said:
Many years ago our progenitors
went through life at moderate pace,
giving much time to the improvement
of the mind, even at monetary loss,
and their immediate defendants were
brave, hardy, real men. Today the
tendency is entirely toward CONNER
cialism, and it seems as though we
must all go with the tide or be DER
whelmed. 1t is sad, but it is true.
L know nothing of the strike situa-
ton
Grand Chief Wilkins was then
seen at Klosky's, where he was indulg-
ing in an ice cream finale to good
dinner. He invited the reporter to
be seated, and when asked as to the
strike situation he said:
L have been about great deal,
visited probably every city of impor-
lance in this country, but I must say
that Mobile has the handsomest
flowers = especially roses = that /
ever saw. I am a crank on roses,
and whenever possible | wear one in
my coat. The contemplation of this
perfect flower leads, in my opinion,
to better understanding of the high
meaning of life, and makes men bet
ter to men.
L know nothing of the strike situa-
ton. -

Since the coming down of Mr.. Fox
as a candidate for governor there is
no disputing the fact that Judge Critz
has gained strength very rapidly. So
far as our observation goes and from
what can be learned from others
Judge Critz seems to be the favorite
of south Mississippi, and he will
carry this section by good majority
over all of his opponents. Mr.. Noel
is a good man, personal friend of
the writer, and We have every reason
to believe that he would make a
splendid governor, but he is not so
well knwon in this section and con-
sequently not so strong as Judge Critz.
He will get few votes and so will
Major Vardaman, but it appears at
present that Judge Critz will get a
good majority over both.

RAILROAD MAP OF KANSAS.
tx Shows That tho State Has Lost q
Large Number of Towns In the
Last Year.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE official
railroad map of Kansas for 1908, which
vas issued Saturday by the board Of
railway commissioners, shows that the
state has lost'a large number of towns
In the last year. The loss of these
towns is the result of the spread of the
rural free mail delivery system, which
has wiped out the little post offices.
Then a number of the boom towns have
gradually .shrunken in size until the
railway commission refuses to take
eognizance of them longer. Nearly
every county in the state has lost or
gained towns in the year. The name
II one river in the state has been
changed. 1t is that of the Grasshop-
pts-, which is changed to>Delaware.

'In the next congress United States
Senator F. w. Carmack, of Tennessee,

a word, Senator Carmack would con-
tribute toward a permanent solution
of the vexing question as it is pre-
scented to the southern states, by elimi-
mating the enfranchised negroes as
political factor This effort of the SEN
ator will be supported by every south
ern representative in congress and not
few members in other sections of the
union"

Albanian and Turkish Troops Burning Viii
lagos and Massacreing Inhabitants

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 1.-THE revo4
lutionary headquarters here has re-
ceived from Burgas news Of fearful
atrocities committed by the Turkish
and Albanian soldiers in the vilayet OF
AdrianopIe. A squadron of Turkish
cavalry intercepted and slaughtered
fugitives attempting to cross into Bull
garia. Sixty Bulgarians were killed
within three kilometers of the frontier.
The whole district Of Losengrad is
filled with Albanian troops, who are
burning villages and massacreing the
inhabitants. They have killed so per-
sens and have slain Is others in the
village of Kula, % old people in the
village of Evekleer, Is families at Tas
peta and 20 families at Asmadgik
Eighty families fleeing from various
villages toward the frontier have beer
literally cut to pieces by Turkish
soldiers during the last few days
Hundreds of old men, women and chill
dren of the district of Losengrad have
crossed the frontier.
A large body of infantry and cavalry
with three mountain batteries, attacked
an insurgent band in the mountains

hours fighting the Turks were forced
to retire with the loss of 20 men killed
and many wounded. The losses of tn,
insurgent force were slight.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 14.-The AL
bantam and Turkish troops collected in
The vilayet Of Adrianople appear to be
pursuing their usual tactics Of burning
and plundering the villages and killing
the peasants instead of making an at
tempt to break up the insurgent bands.
Very little news is fltering through
from Monastir, but all reports agree
that the position of the Christians is
desperate. The Turks are making a
slean sweep of the whole Bulgarian
element. The Albanian soldiers in the
vfiayet Of Adrianople are stated to be
entirely beyond control. At Kostursco
the influential beys complained to the
officers of the excuses committed by
the troops. The officers resented the
criticism and told the soldiers that the
beys were friends Of the revolution
aries; whereupon the soldiers burned
the beys' farms. The Turks have burned
the villages of Almagik and Orik1er,
IN the district of Losengrad. They
oeheaded % Bulgarians at Almagik in
the presence of their families.

that 10000 persons have been slaugh-
tered in the district of Leren alone,

Year of American Occupancy,

Washington, Sept. 13.-The bureau
of insular affairs of the war department
has prepared for publication compar-
alive statement showing the customs
revenues in the Philippines archipela-
go for the first five months of 1903, as
compared with the same period in pre-

May 81, 1903, the customs revenues
were $3,759, 1888. For the same period
in 1902, they were So, $50, 866. A steady
increase in the customs collections is
noted, and each successive year of
American occupation has brought forth
a corresponding growth of these rev.
enues.
