ture. commerce and finance have submitted
a bill to the chamber of deputies appro-

To Elevate Character Of the
Southern Negro.
INCREASE IN tn CRIME
CHARGED TO EDUCATION BY MIS-
sIssIPPI,s GOVERNOR.
He Says New System Must Be
Adopted Directed to Moral
Training.

JACKSON, Miss, January 19.-In his in
augural address, delivered today before q
joint session of the Mississippi legislature,
Gov. James K. Vardaman declared that
the growing tendency of the negro to COM
nit criminal assault on white women is
nothing more nor less than the manifesto
ton of the racial desire for social equality.
In strong terms he declared that education
is the. curse, of the negros race, and urged
an amendment to the state constitution
that will place the distribution of the COM
mon school fund solely within the power
of the legislature. Continuing his discus
sion Of the negro question, Gov. Vardaman
said:
Says Race is Deteriorating.
"As a race he is deterorating morally
every day. Time has demonstrated that he
is more criminal as a free man than as
slave; that he is increasing in criminality
with frightful .rapidity, being one-third
more criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880.
1.-THE startling facts revealed by the cen
suS show that those who can read ana
write are more criminal than the illiterates,
which is true of no other element of our
popula ton. / am advised that the mini
mum illiteracy among the negroes is found
in New England, where it is DIT per cent
The ma Ximum found in the black belt
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro-
lina-where it is 65.7 per cent. And yet
the negro in New England is four and one
half times more criminal hundred for hun
bred, than he is in the black belt. In the
south, Mississippi particularly, l know he
is growing worse every year. You can
scarcely pick up newspaper whose pages
are not blackened with the account OF an
uncomfortable crime committed by negro
brute, and this crime, want to impress
upon you is but the manifestation of the
negros aspiration for social equality, en-
couraged largely by, the character of free
education in vogue, which the state is levy
ing tribute upon the white people to main
tain.
Better Glass Not Responsible.
"The better class of negroes is not respon-
sible for this terrible condition, nor for the
criminal tendency of their race. Nor do
wish to be understood as censuring them
for it. I am not censuring anybody. nor am
inspired by i'll will for the negro; but am
simply calling attention. he most unfor-
tunate and uncomfortable condition of AFFAIRS.
What shall be done about it?
my own idea is that the character OF the
education for the negro ought 10 De
tchanged IT, after years Of earnest effort
and the expenditure Of fabulous sums OF
money to educate his head, we nave only
succeeded in making a criminal out Oh MIN
and imperiling his usefulness and efficiency
as a laborer, wisdom would suggest that we
make another experiment ana see II we
cannot improve him by educating his mana
and his heart There must be a moral SUB
stratum upon which to build, or you cannot
make a desirable citizen.
The governor also declares that the peo-
nile of the nation should rise up and de-
mand the repeal. of the fifteenth amend
ment.

SMALLPOX RAGING
 IN VIRULENT FORM.
Man Dies From Dread Disease X and Body is Found in Field Twenty-Five Cases
 Reported.

Ward, Nov. 3. In the terri tory between this point and But lerville, which is about five miles east of the Iron Mountain rail- road in the western part of Lonoke county, smallpox in it's most malignant form is prevail ing and the people are prostra- ted through fear of the dread disease. From twenty-five to thirty cases have been reported.
 A Mir. Geff,ry, having the dis ease, wandered off from his home and was found dead in his field. A woman and child have since died from the disease for want of attention.
 Nothing is seemingly being done in a well defined manner to prevent the spread of the disease or aid in the recovery of those affected. The matter should be brought to the attention of the board of health and immediate action taken to isolate existing cases and prevent the spread of smallpox to communities not now affected.
 Winter is coming on and unless these steps are taken at once the entire territory is likely to be- come infected and a scourge of smallpox result, the like of which this section has never seen, for the disease now affecting the people is not the light type, but smallpox in it's most malignant form.

l.. A. M'KINNON
 VERY MUCH ALIVE.

It is seldom a person enjoys the peculiar pleasure of reading his own obituary, but our fellow townsman, L. A. McKinnon, is told in the Newport (Ark.) Inde- pendent that his old friends at that place are grieving over his departure.
 If the editor of the Independ- ent had seen the genial MT. Me" as he wandered into the office this morning, carrying a pair of rosy cheeks and an avoir- dupois of perhaps 250, he would have thought him a pretty active dead man.
 It is all a mistake. Mr. Me Kinnon is well, happy and good looking as ever and does not pro- pose to surrender until Gabriel trumpets. Crowley Oa.) Sig nal.
 This is one on us and we take pleasure in noting the correction. Our pleasure in this matter is doubtless exceeded by MT. Me- Kinnon's, but nevertheless our s is just as genuine. A friend of the alleged deceased in Crowley wrote to Newport friend that "Mr. Nc" was dead and the lat ter, supposing that MT. McKin- non was referred to, gave out the information upon which our arti- cle was based. MT. McKmnon is fond of a joke and has doubt less enjoyed this novel experi- ence of living to read his own obituary.

COPELAND SECURES
 JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT.

The suit of l.. w. Copeland and others vs. V. M. Axe & Go. came up for trial Thursday morn ing, says the Jonesboro Times Enterprise, and a judgment was given in behalf of Copeland and others for something like $10,- 000, the exact amount we could not learn.
 This suit grew out of a specu- lation in which Copeland was in terested, and the allegation is that Axe & Co. did not sell the cotton when ordered to sell, and thereby damaged the plaintiffs the amount for which they con- tended.
 Axe & Go. did not appear to- day to defend the suit, though they have been in Jonesbo1o sev- eral times on account of it.
