who were on a hunt landed on the is
land and accidentally ran into
camp where there were two negroes
and a girl about twelve years of age
The white men made some inquiries
about the girl and the negroes stated
that she was the daughter of white
man who was travelling with them,
and that he had gone to Fort Smith
for some groceries. The negroes
would not let the girl take part in
the conversation and this increased
the suspicious of the white men, A
watch was kept on the negroes for
two days, and, no white man appear
ing. a party of farmers decided 10
make further investigation. AS
they neared the island the party was
fired upon by the negroes, and a
sharp fight followed in which one Of
the white men, by the name of Ro-
land, was killed. During the fight
the little girl escaped from the ne
groes and ran to the white men, The
girl stated that she had been stolen
from her home near Fort Gibson

sert that he is not big enough for the
place as law clerk of the department
Emanuel Spiech was closely asso-

latters' bond when he was indicted the
second time. Various charges have
been made against John w. Machen,
who has been in the service for many
years. Whether any of them have been
substantiated can not be learned Haz-
zard is charged with having collected

A lust Complaint.

From the LAGRANGE Graphic.
Last week it fell to our lot to renew
our insurance upon the Graphic office.
A few years ago we paid $40 per SlOOo
insurance. Last year the rate went
up to $l9 per $1,000 of insurance, and
now we are taxed $50 per $1,000 of
insurance. When we stop tO ask the
reason Of this we lind that there is no
reason save that the Southeastern
Tariff Association, which controls all
of the assurances companies, has
reasoned it out that the people are
making too much money and that they
simply decided to put their hands down
deeper into the pockets of the people
and relieve them of most of it That
is the whole thing in nutshell They
have got the power, and they are US
ing it. We pirate and theorize about
trusts in the abstract, and right here
| in Georgia this association fixes every
rate charged, and fixes it so high as to
make fire insurance almost prohibitiYe.

LITTLE ETHEL KILLER.
Loving Tribute to the Memory
of a Sweet Child.

On March /, 1903, God in his infinite
wisdom saw proper TO take from our
midst Little Ethel May, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. ] L. Hitler.
She was just entering the prime OF
her childhood days-only six years
and five months old. She had Sc
we're attack of measles and pneumonia
and suffered agony, and then menln-
gifts developed and caused her death
Instantly.
Tie funeral services occurred the
next day at st. Marks Lutheran
church, Sumter county, conducted by
The pastor, Rev. }. w. Nease, who
made all impressive talk from ii
King, 4.26, as it we'll with the child:
and she answered, 1T is well.
And truly 1t is well with dear little
Ethel, for all her sorrow and pain is
turned into eternal JOY and pleasure,
What u Joy to the fond parents to
know this. We in midst of earthly
sorrow praise our kind Saviour for
having made such sweet little girl
and for taking her when she was so
young.
Ethel was sweet child, a fayorite
with both her parents, playmates and
teacher.
Ethel's school days were few. She
was an obedient child, and will be
greatly missed by all.
Safe in the arms Of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love DER Swallowed
Sweetly her soul shall rest.
Her teacher. LILLY RAUCH.

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.

The most important and significant
event of the new century is the decree
of the Car OF Russia, recently issued,
by which entire freedom ofreligion, as
we'll as broad concession of local self
government, is guaranteed the people
of that vast empire. This is in accord
ance with the trend of human destiny.
Only few years ago Japan and China
and the Hermit Kingdom of Korea
were opened to christianity. While
Russia has been professedly christian
country. the bigotry and Intolerance
of the Greek church, the state relig-
ion, has amounted to clerical tyranny.
But now all churches and denom-
nations, including the cruelty per-
secuted Jews. are given the same
countenance and projection of the Poy-
eminent. This is the most important
act of the Russian government since
the emancipation of the serfs.

Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Montana and Utah took farms in the
Canadian west, bringing with them
property and stock conservatively estl-

dollars. In the three years proceeding
at least thirty thousand other settlers
had crossed over from the United
States, and since 1890 it is estimated
that there has grown up in western
Canada a community of one hundred
and thirty-fve thousand American
farmers, growers of wheat. corn and

AGED negro Wants Ten thousands Dol

Claiming that he has been damaged
to the extent of $4,000, Henry Max
we'll, colored, has filed suit against the
Seaboard Air Line railway in the
superior court of Muscogee county.
On March 10 Maxwell who is an old
man, was driving wagon heavily
loaded with lumber across the Sea-
board track in Columbus, when he was
struck by train of cars pushed by
one of the local dummy engines owned
by the Seaboard. His wagon was
knocked from the track and he was
thrown to the ground, the lumber
falling upon him. His collar bone was
dislocated and he was otherwise
seriously injured. He claims that the
accident was due to the negligence OF
the railroad company, as, he says,
there was no warning given OF the COM
ing of the train.

THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.

The Atlanta Constitution seems Il
agree with The News that session o.
the Legislature every two years would
be sufficient for all purposes. While
this is true, it is no argument why the
legislature should adjourn this sum-
M ar before it disposes of the many inn
portant measures that had to go over
last winter because they were displac-
ed by the tax and appropriations bills,
which consumed practically all OF the
session. The legislature should ad-
iourn as soon as it can finish the
business before it, whether 1t be
ten days or fifty days. The con-
vict lease bill, the uniformity text
book bill, the child labor bill, the
Australian ballot bill, the bill to DO
mesticate foreign corporations op-
Grating railroads in this state, the
bill to extend the powers OF the rail-
road commission, the bill to teach ag-
riculture in the public schools, the tax
bill to equalize taxes, the
bill to separate the agricultural school
from the State University and num-
Der of other important measures are
pending, and the people expect the
legislature to take some action upon
them at the approaching session.
