GOETHE AND PANAMA

Poets Prophecy In 1927 About the
Great Canal.
The Frankfurter Zeitung OF Feb. 20, I
1904, In an editorial states that the
Panama Canal treaty has been ratified
in Washington, and that thereby the
legal basis for the construction Of the
canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
has been created, and that the great
work can be completed in a compare
lively short tine.
II Is perhaps pertinent, the paper
adds. to recall what Goethe said con-
corning these matters During a con-
versation with Eckermann in 1927
with reference to Humboldt's travels,
he said:
This much is certain: II by
crosscut OF this kind It could be accom-
plished that vessels with all sorts OF
cargoes and Of every size could go
through such a canal from the Gulf OF
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, quite III
calculable results would follow for the
entire civilized and uncivilized human
race.
Il, however, would be surprised II
the United States would miss the
chance to get such a work into her
hands. 1t Is to be foreseen that this
young State, with Its decided tendency
toward the West. will in thirty to
forty years have also taken possession
OF, and will have populated. the large
areas Of land on the other side OF the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is furthermore
to be foreseen that in this entire coast
Of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has
already created the most roomy and
safest harbors, In course OF time very
important commercial towns will carry
on a large traffic between China and
the East Indies with the United States.
In such a case It would not only be
desirable, but almost necessary. that
merchant as well as war vessels
should be able to have quicker connec-
tion with the western and eastern
coasts Of America. therefore repeat
that It is entirely indispensable fol
the United States to make a passags
from the Gulf OF Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean, and l am certain that she vii
accomplish it"-Consular Report

Killing In OKtibeha.

A negro man named Bud Rives,
was found dead in the woods last
Tuesday, a short distance west of
White Road at the l.. Bostick old
place, l0t miles south west of Stark
vile. He vas engaged in hauling
cross ties for Mr.. Tom Richardson g.
He failed to put in his appearance
Monday night and the following
morning search was instituted for
the team, first making inquiry of
the mans mother, who thought he
had stayed over night at Nh. Rich
ardson's. The two went together
and soon found the mules which had
run off, breaking the breast yoke
against a sapling and the wagon
stopped against the sapling. The
team could go no further and was
found pretty secure. The body of
the dead man was perforated with
several pistol balls. 1t seems that
he ran a couple of hundred feet after
being shot before falling. To make
sure of his death, a ball was fired
through the head. The ball was dug
out of the ground, where he was
lying.
The man had been dead when
ionnd at 8 a. M, "a hours from the
time shooting was heard. The ne
gro was a good worker and inoffen-
sive, said our informant, and nc
satisfactory cause suggested unless
he would have probably been made
a meterial witness to some case.

~evering of the fatal shooting, at Dekalt
that day, of T. NJ. Tam, Esq, one OF
the most prominent citizens of the county
by Mr.. Irwin Henderson, a prominent
planter living on Blackwater Creek.
The tragedy is the outcome of the peon
age trouble in the western part Of the
county.
From the information at hand it APP
pears that after the preliminary exani.
nation of Mr.. Henry Shots, charged
with shooting into the house Of one Of
the Leggett boys, Mr.. Tam made somt
statements rejecting on the veracity Of
the Leggetts and others, among then
Irwin Henderson. The matter was dis
cussed by Tam and Henderson Monday,
in the drug store Of DR.. L. ID. Stennis,
hot words ensued. the lie was passed
and the shooting followed. All evidence
goes to show that Henderson acted
strictly on the defensive.
The shooting occnrred between thu

COudit oil of Crops.

According to the official report of
the Mississippi department of the
weather bureau for the week just
ended the general cotton crop out
look has not improved during the
period, on the contrary having been
very much deteriorated by the in
cessant rains which in many places
have caused the farmers to abandon
all hopes of getting their crops free
OF grass, weeds, tie-vines, etc. 1t
has been many years since Missis-
sippi experienced a more rainy sum-
mer, and cotton has assumed such
a rank growth that there is little
prospect for normal fruitIng.
Favorable weather for the next ten
days will of course improve the out
look, as it will enable laborers to
clear up the crop Of grass and weeds
but the ground is so thoroughly soak
ed that operations with the hoe OF
pillow are impossible.

The Mayors Appeal.


From the Memphis Scimitar
Mayor Williams makes a strong ap-
peal to the men and women OF the city
to help him in his efforts to carry out
the Wishes Of the people as expressed by
the Committee of Public Safety
II have not yet issued the instruc-
tions to the police department, causing
the closing Of saloons feom midnight to
a. M said the mayor. These in
s'ructions will be given today. They
will be simply a direct command to ar
rest all persons who violate the law in
this particular; to make no exception,
and to be vigilant and strenuous in look
ing for possible violators.
my instructions to close the public
gambling houses are already in the
hands of the police. In fact, the city
has been free from this class OF gam
bling for some time, still, IN view of
my promise to the committee, | will. to-
day, Instruct the police to be stricter
and more vigilant than on former occa-
sions.
lin this respect | sincerely hope that
| will meet with the cooperation Of the
people. ! particularly appeal to the
social clubs, and the ladies of the city
to give me their aid in this work. The
force of Eexemple is in~calculable. ]
want example from these sources, as
they can help me in this work more
than anything else | can do.
at has been this experience aud the
observation of the police department
that most Of the big defalcations that
come to acknowledge are not the re
suit of gambling in regular gaming
places but are due to the gentlemen
games These gentlemen can help the
authorities bp refraining from this hab.
it, and thus set an example as good,
law abiding citizens to the poor igno.
rants, who play FOR nlckels INT dimes,
where the gentlemen play for dollars.
1.-THE ladies', too, can help far more
than they now believe. Let them de
sist from offering valuable prizes on
games Of chance.
1.-THE gambler often says to the police
that it is a hollow mockery to arrest him
far risking a nickel, while society is
permitted to play for cut. glass and eth
er articles worth many dollars. These
ladies have il in their power to mike or
margthe life of the male child of the
family. By their example will he
shape his course, and because Of this
example it may be that the police of the
future will have to deal with him."
