BABY LEFT ON THE STEPS.
SmithvilIe Family Found Little
Wait on Front Veranda.

From the Americas Press.
We are reliably informed by gen.
t'eman from Smithv;lle that on Mon
day night last Rev. P. G. Harris found
a little baby about six months old on
the veranda of his dwelling.
When it was put there or by whom
is unknown, but the party must have
known where he was leaving the little
waif, as these good people will take
the best of care of it. and if never call
ed for it will always have good
home.
But the inhumans who were unfort-
unately the authors of its being should
be ferreted out and brought to justice
if possible.

Forty-eight Indiana Young ladies

North Dakota to become wives of men
they have never seen. These men are
said to be industrious, and each owns
100 acres of land, but then money does
not bring happiness. Part of these

African Cotton Brings Good Price.

1t is of special interest to the cotton
growers of the south that the first
shipment of cotton from west Africa to
England sold on the Liverpool ex-
change on January 10Th at ii cents a

neither money nor effort to make west
Africa successful competitor of the
south in the production of cotton, and
it would be silly to underestimate It's

A FIERCE RACE

groes at the Post Causes
Trouble.
(By Associated Prees.)

( FAYETTE, MO-, Feb. ga race was has
has been started heer as the result of the
public whipping OF three negroes on the
courthouse steps Friday night A COM
mittee OF the Law and Order League took
the negroes from their homes and
whipped then, publicly for alleged MS
conduct. Two of them were women.
Since then the negroes and white people
have been In open enmity, and 1t is said
that twenty negro farmers have been
frightened into leaving this vicinity.
A recent killing OF Harry O'Donnell, a
reputable citizen. was charged to negroes
and did much to stir up enmity. The
whites have threatened to drive the ne
groes from Fayette and vicinity.
The one negro man who was whipped
Friday night made desperate resistance
1t took several men to carry him to the
whipping post. fle cursed his captors
as the lash was applied, which resulted
In the whip being welded only the more
vigorously. When tho ordeal was ended
the negro was so weak from loss or blood
that he was put to bed instead of being
driven from town, The women, who We're
not hipped severely, ero taken ia
the outskirts and told to so. There Is
much excitement here. and clash Is
feared.
