CRIME RECORD FOR JAN
UARY in MISSISSIPPI.
mississippi Passed One rionth With
out Lynching, But There Was
Plenty of Murder and Killings Of
Various Degrees.

| Mississippi achieved the distinction OF
passing through the month OF January
without single lynching within her bor-
ders,
gin view Of the fact that the State had
fourteen lynchinGs and three burnings
during the year 1902 the start made dur
ing the month Of January is cause for
congratulation, and especially so by rea-
son Of the fact that no causes develop
ed to provoke lynchings.
This brings to mind, by the way, that
the Chicago Tribune in its criminal sta
tistics for last year was somewhat too
modest in dealing the State with only
eleven lynchings and one burning.
The January record in other classes Of
crime, however, was not so satisfactory.
Seventeen killings occurred that look
like murder, while, eight killings we're
reported in which self-defense is claim
ed. These figures are based on the dali
ly press dispatches, and few tragedies
may have occurred that did not get into
public print. II is impossible to give
even an approximate estimate OF the
shooting affairs that we're without fatal
result, but IT is known to be EXCEPTIONAL
ly large.
Only one hanging occurred during the
month, the victim being Luke McAllis-
ter, who was executed at New Albany.
Six are arranged to take place in Feb
ruary, five OF the number being on the
18th, and it is rot thought that Governor
Longino will extend clemency in either
case. The victims slated for the gallows
are as follows:
| Alex Smith at Poplarville; Tom Swor
at Raleigh; Emmanuel Walkorat India
nola; Joe Cambell at Yozoo City; An
tonic Dukes at Ha2lehurst.
The last named individual made an
unsuccessful attempt to escape from Jail
at Hazlehurst Saturday morning, his
partner in the attempted Jail delivery be-
ing G.. Y. Boyd, the Crystal Springs
paiNy ihbhSl WIZ 10 dWdiOluB ului WI
the charge of poisoning his wife. They
succeeded in saving out the iron bars,
but we're detected by the jailor before
the break for liberty was made.
The circuit courts Of the State during
the month of January sentenced no less
than fifty persons TO the penitentiary;
bat all Of them have not yet been
brought to the prison, owing to the fact
that several have taken supreme court
appeals. A number Of death sentences
we're also passed during the month. The
exact number mas not yet been learned,
but it is known to be over half dozen.
Mississippi led all States in the Union
last year with legal hahgings, having
twenty two to her credit, and good
start has been made to equal or eclipse
this record for 1908.

they harp on the same old story: "oh, I

NOT HIM.

just after the Civil war some philan-
thropic Northern ladies established Sum
day schools for the ediGcation OF the
little pickaninnies. In one OF these
particular schools they had preparations
for a grand commencement, which was
to be presided over by the bishop
Among the exercises for the occasion
was one wherein each little dusky stu
dent was required to answer a biblical
question. Naturally they had stuGied
their particular question and answers
and knew no other, as their teacher
thought to surprise his reverence by
their intelligence. Just before the ex-
ercises began the first little fellow OF the
line espied a lot Of cakes, etc., spread on
the table in the next room. No one be-
ing near he quickly proceeded to devour
everything in sight and the natural con-
sequences followed sending him home
sick. The question to be propounded
him was "WhO made ynu2u and his ans
wer, "God." The next fellow in line
was to answer this question: "Out OF
what did God make you?" then he was
to say, "Dust," then on up the class.
Well, when the time came the bishop
surveyed the line and congratulated
them on their appearance, then pro-
ceeded to ask the questions. "Now, my
little man." said the bishop, "Who made
you?" The little fellow was standing as
board and without moving, replied:
"Dustl" "No, mol" corrected the min
lister, "Think again, don't you know who
made youP" "Dustl" reiterated the
son Of Cain. "No, my lad, dust didn't
make you, God made you, didn't hep"
Then the little fellows worries showed
up in broad grin, as he replied "No,
sir, de nigger dat God made dun cat his
se'f sick and gone home"

BEAUVOIR SOLD FOR A
CON. SOLDIERS HOME.
me Purchase Price Was $4,000, all
OF Which But $4,000 Was Paid in
Sash.-Wili be Converted Into a SOL
diers' Home.

'Beauvoir," the home OF JeffarSor
Davis, was Tuesday transferred 70 the
"Sons OF Confederate Veterans of Mis-
sissippi," to be by them converted into
soldiers home. The consideration re-
cited in the deed is $4,000. OF this
amount $500 in cash was paid to the
personal representative of Mrs. Davis
and the remaining $1,000 was evidenced
py a promissary note, Mrs. Davis having
expressed perfect Willingness to grant
any extension Of time desired.
The formal transfer of the deed and
tne last arrangements preliminary to
this act took place Tuesday morning at
q meeting OF the executive committee of
tne "Beauvoir Purchase fund, called by
Division Commander, o. l.. Mckay.
and held in the State Library. When
they came to order the following were
found to be in attendance: w. E. Dam
iels, chairman; T. M. Henry, secretary !;
George G. Meyers, treasurer. Division
Commander Mckay and Judge Adyo-
cate General McClurg met with the COM
mittee. Mrs. Davis-was represented by
Judge A. McC. Kimbrough of Green
wood, warm personal friend of that
lady, who willingly undertook the task
OF looking after her legal interests in the
transfer. The status OF the case was at
once taken up by those present. The
report OF the treasurer showed that only
the sum of $4,000 in cash was available.
although more than this amount has
been subscribed. Some of the subscrip-
tons, however, have not been received
though they are regarded as perfectly
good. 1t was finally agreed that this
amount should be paid down and the de-
ficit made by promissary note, which
the Sons of Veterans guarantee to Jake
up within reasonable time. After this,
there was nothing to do except for Mrs.
Davis representative TO deliver the deed,
which was done without further ceremo-
ny. II will be recalled that the Sons of
Veterans had themselves incorporated
some time since in order to make them
legally capable of holding the real es-
tate.
II was announced at the conclusion of
the meeting that Division Commander
Mckay would in few days call meet
ing Of the executive committee and Board
of Directors TO take final action looking
to the formal opening of the home. 1t
is understood that the "Daughters" have
something like $4,000 on hand for the
equipment Of the house. The executive
committee win proceed vigorously with
the collection of the remaining $1,000,
and it is believed in short time the
amount will have been raised. "The
Ladies' Beauvoir Memorial Association"
has turned its collections into the pur-
chase fund.
The committee received the deed sim
ply as the agent OF the Sons'of Veterans,
but it is contemplated having a formal
transfer of the "Hofne" to that organiza-
ton in few weeks.

next Sunday splendid excursion to
Ocean Springs and the intermediate
points, for 81 round trip fare. "This
in my opinion" said Mr.. Ridgely this

give the city people a chance to pay
back the visits they have received from
the country people. II will give our
people a chance to go over and mingle
with the country visitors, put them in
closer contact with the folks along the
coast and invite them down to the city
