regular term of the circuit cours con.
vened with Judge Redwine en- the
bench, Sheriff Callahan and FIVE depu.
ties were sworn in. Of twenty sum-
moned for the regular grand Jury
only nine responded, the other places
being filled by bystanders summoned
| by Callahan. Judge Redwine in in
structing the grand jury said Brea-
| thitt county was full Of crime and has
had few convictions. He said:
Il have never believed that homi-
| ctdes should be tried by a jury from
| the vicinity of the crime, but it is the
law and that must be followed.
There has been but one hanging in
the history of Breathitt county out of
the many trials for murder. There are
some cases in this court that ) will
not risk with q Breathitt county jury
but will go outside for jurors"
Judge Redwine undoubtedly referred
to the Jet and White cases. lie made
a strong plea for the jury to stop the
selling of whisky and carrying of
concealed weapons, as well as greater
crimes.
There is enough crime in ehis eoun-
ty to hold court the year around and
theu not convict alp amenable 10 the
law.

the court room by the accidental dis
charge Of the rifle Of a sentry outside
the court house, who was loading his
gun preparatory to going on duty. The
bullet struck the wall of the court
house without injuring any one. Col
Williams Immediately ordered the SOL
der under arrest.

Mr.. Henry L. Vickers the

had quite an exciting and unen-
viab1e experience last Thursday
night. His trade had been ex-
ceptionally good during the week
and arriving home Thursday
night about 10 o'clock he exhib-
tied to Mrs. Vickers about $1,000
which he carried in his pocket.
While he had his money exposed
he noticed that he was being
watched through the window and
and was astonished to see ne.
gro woman and man trying t.
break in. To brighten them
away he tried to shoot them with
a pistol that from disuse had be-
come too rusty and it was i'm
possible to fire it. The would
be robbers emboldened by his
failure to shoot and bent on get
ting the money came to his room
door through the hall and trit d
to break in there. The result
was that Mr.. Vickers and his
family sat up all night, with
nothing to defend themselves.
He was afraid to open the door

them some substantial Christmas
gifts. To the Secretary they
presented $1,000 seal ring, and
pair of $500 sleeve buttons; to
the Superintendent they present
ed a $500 Office desk. The ring
and the buttons were given in a
neat speech by the Superintend-
ent; and the desk was presented
in speech by the engineer and
Master Machinest, Mr.. Williams.
AThe occasion was pleasant, and
highly appreciated by the recip-
tents. The Mill Company made
the operatives a chicken feast, as
they could not get turkeys in
town, nor out of it. (Sent off for
them, but was told just the day
before Christmas that they could
not be had), so did the best they
could with chickens. The Super
intendent and Secretary gavethe
children quite nice lot of fruit

A Rest Cure For
the Race Problems
}. Miscellaneous.

Worlds Work.
Elsewhere than in Mississippi the
negro continues to be the subject. as
he has been for a hundred years,
of much unbalanced and superfious
exercise of mind. An eloquent
southern man-Mr. John Temple
Graves. of Georgia to de-
port the blacks to the Philippines.
The only new idea in this proposition
is the Philippines; for there exists a
venerable deportation society which
has never been able to deport them.
One objection to the plan-and it is
objection enough-is that they will
not go.
Since there is no danger of their
going. society has been organized
in the South to oppose their depar-
ture. and eloquent reasons are ad-
vanced against a movement that
does not move. Since the plan of
emigration to Liberia has failed, a
man of serious mind sends to this
magazine an argument to show that
Liberia is most attractive place to
the American Negro: and, since the
census shows an increase of our col
ored population from four and a half
millions in 1880 to nearly nine mil
lions in 1900, it is argued in a statis-
tical journal that the race is dying
out. Since nothing is more absurd
than talk of pensions" for the freed
man, Senator Hanna "by request" in
troduced bill in the Senate to pay
them pensions, and unscrupulous ras-
Gals have been collecting money from
simple negroes to advance this meas
ure.
Since movements for or about or
against the negro seem inevitable,
much might be said in favor of So
ciety to Suppress Theories about the
Race Problem. A perfectly sane and
patient judgment of the whole sub
ject is rare, in the South or in the
North, and when you find such a
judgment, you find a man, whether
he be white or black, who is
silently doing what he can to help
both the white man and negro pa
tiently and justly to work out their
destiny-where they are, as they are,
under existing conditions, without
wild theories or revolutionary plans
A decade or two of silence and just
dealing would be worth all the
theories and debates that have for a
century made the literature of the
subject storehouse of Mysteries and
wild notions.
