pany, arrived down from the mines

Boy was closed down yesterday, ana

tember 10th, when the electric cyan
ide plant, which is now being I'm
stalei at the mine. will be in opera
tion, This plant, which has been pre-
viously and exclusively mentioned By
the Guard, is for the purpose OF ex-
tracing the gold from concentrates

mine several thousand dollars per
month Work on the plant is pro
gresing rapidly, and Mr.. Zimmerman
said he hoped to have 1t in operation

VARDAaIAN,S V~ULGARTTY.

We published in Sundays Messenger
Mississippi to the dispatch of President
Francis of the st. Louis exposition no
tifying him hat the president had
greatly admired the Mississippi build
ing. Our readers will remember that
the governor of hat great state saw
fit to reply to President Francis, dis
patch in the following language:
1t is of course, gratifying to the
people of Mississippi to know that they
ave done one thing hat the present
president of the United States approves.
Doubtless the presidents admiration of
the Mississippi building is due to his
admiration of Jefferson Davis, of whose
last home it Us a replica.
We were SC disguised with this per-
Torrance of Governor Vardaman that
we intended to make no comment upon
it and we were in hopes that no other
papers, especially those published at
the south, would notice it. 1t was evil
dent that the mans object was to gain
a cheap notoriety at the expense OF de-
cency and good breeding. We knew
that the better class of people of his
state deplored the action of their gov
ernor and we thought the best way to
show sympathy for them and disap-
prevail of the vulgar and low conduct
of the man who had unfortunately been
placed at the head of affairs of their
state was to absolutely ignore his ut
terances. We have abandoned our
former Intentions because we see that
the people of his own state have taken
action on the matter, and we refer to
it only to express our qualification at
the action taken by those one hundred
leading citizens of Natchez who have
signed and sent to President Francis
a solemn and emphatic protest against
the language of their governor in reply
to his communication i'm reference to
the presidents admiration of the Mis-
sissippi building at the exposition. We
hope the lead of those Nacnez men
Will be followed by the people of every
town and city in the state. The people
OF Mississippi should denounce the gov
errors conduct in unmeasured terms.
1t is true he is their governor, but they
must remember the old adage: you
cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's

SEARCH OF MISSING LETTERS.
Portions of Testimony in the Swaync
Case Cannot be Found.

Washington, November 30.-Search
was continued today for the missing
letters connected with the investigation
of Judge Swayne. 1t is supposed tina
they have been gathered up by mistake
among the papers which were not al

have a memorandum of the letters.
Mr.. Palmer, chairman of the sub
committee is not in the city and it is
expected that no action will be taken
regarding the letters until he returns.
1t is understood that no supplemental.
report in the Swayne case will be made
to the house, as the order OF the house
directed only the taking of additional
testimony. Members of the judiciary

tons Of the testimony are missing and

reason that we think school statistics
of the southern states, certainly in
many sections, will show that compul-
sorry education would force into the
schools in proportion 10 population a
larger number of white children thar
of negroes who do not now attend the
public schools; that is, there is a larger
percentage of white han of negro chill
dren who now do not go to school. II
this be so then compulsory education
of the children of the two races, il en-
forced alike as to both, wou!d give the
advantage to the whites.
1t cannot be denied that in many C
tons of the south those white people
who cannot afford to send their chill
dren to private schools Inc for whose
established and the people taxed for
their support do not properly appreciate
the Importance of educating their chill
dren and do not patronize the public
schools to the extent they should.
Still under our constitution compul-
sorry education would have to apply to
both races. This would make it unpop-
ular, we believe, with a large majority
of those white people who would be
in favor of it could DIT be made to apply
only to white children.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The Times-Dispatch does not be-
lieve in compulsory education, but we
admit that there IS much to be said
in favor of it, and as an independent
proposition we are inclined to think
that most of the southern states would
adopt it. But the ever-present negro
question stand in the way. If a south
ern state shout adopt compulsory edu-
cation the law would necessarily apply
to negro children as well as to white
children. and while the southern peo-
pie have been paying and are paying
large sums to educate the colored rae
a law compelling negro children to at
tend school might be embarrassing

We see from the Florence times that
a man from a nearby town started to
Charleston the other day to buy goods
for his store. He carried his money
seven hundred and fifty dollars-in a
satchel. At the depot in Florence he
laid his satchel down and thai is the
last he has ever seen of his money. We
guess that the next time that man goe,
off to buy goods with that sum of
money about him it will be in checks
payable to order and not in ready
cash. The Times says a man the next
day picked UP a double handful Of
quarters on the street, which are sup
posed to be part of the money the un-
fortunate merchant lost. That man has
learned a lesson he will never forget.
We are sorry he had to pay so dearly
for mis- experience.

SLICK FORGERY.
Country Negroes Forge Farmers
Names and Impersonate
Farmers Tenants.

Farmers Tenants.
On Saturday a colored man giving
his name as Jeff Graham, one of the
tenants on the plantation of Mr.. w.
w. Smith, presented an order for
$100 worth of trade, and some adj
ditional merchandise for Mr.. Smith
himself, at Messrs. Best & Thomp-
sons store.
The. ORDER was signed "Bill Smith,
and the salesman referred it to Mr..
Best for verification. Mr.. Best very
prompt told the negro that the
order was not written by Mr.. Smith,
and the negro was as prompt with a
plausible answer: "No," said he,
"AIr. Smith was busy when / was
coming off and told one of his chill
dren to write it,"
MI. Best referred to the books and
found that a tenant named Graham
was on Mr.. Smiths plantation and
was being carried by Nh. Smith, SO
decided to let whom he supposed
was Graham have the goods especi-
ally as some of them were, as the
order read, to go to MI. Smith him
self. The negro got the goods and
departed.
IN the course of the afternoon Mr..
Smith came in and as soon as MI.
Best saw him he enquired as to the
order. mo-" said Mr.. Smith, II
have given no order to Graham Or
any one else, and, besides, Graham
has not been to town to-day until
now: he came with me and is here in
the store. Whereupon Graham was
called up and it was readily seen
that he was not the man who had
presented the order in his name.
The dll-round forgery was immedi-
ately apparent.
About the same time Mr.. Will
Sutton, a neighbor of MI. Smiths,
was having a similar experience at
H. We'll & Bros store-a tenant OF
his having been impersonated there,
and with a forged order.
Steps were Immediately taken to
apprehend the culprit, and Joe
Jones, a negro living in the neigh
borhood, whom Messrs. Best &
Thompson's clerk identified as i'm
: personating Graham and presenting
the forged order, was found with the
goods in his possession, yesterday,
and also the goods from Messrs. H.
Wei! & Bros. He, of course, could
not deny his guilt, but implicated
another negro, Will Jones, as doing
the writing, and with whom he was
to divide the spoils, but had not had
time to do SO, a he wasapprehended
yesterday and brought to this city,
where he was lodged III jail.
Will Jones was brought in to-day,
and the two will be given a preliml-
nary hearing this afternoon.

A SHOWING.
The Board of Directors of the East
ern Hospital Met at That In
stitution April 9th and
Transacted Routine



AS previously announced, the
Board of directors of the State Hos
pital here met at that institution
April 6 and transacted such routine
business as awaited their considera-
ton. The affairs of the Hospital, as
usual, we're found to be in excellent
shape, under the competent and sa-
gacious management of it's excellent
superintendent, DIR. J. E. Miller. It
was found that considerable improve
ments had been made to the physical
surroundings, and a new ward estab-
lished for the especial care of tuber-
culous patients. There are 218 male
and 800 female patients now in this
institution, and the rolls showed that
since the December meeting of the
Board 80 new patients had been re-
ceived and So discharged, and the in
~stitut1on is now crowded to its ut
most capacity.
