BRUTAL MURDER IN MIsslss PpI.
Five Men Dead at Trail Lake,
Mississippi ---Negros Start the
TrouhIe---Murder Two Men
in Cold Blood.

Greenville, Miss, June 3-As a
Jesuit of fight which occurred on the
Sims & Williams plantation at Trail
Lake, Miss, 80 miles east of here last
night, John Sims and his manager,
named Cato, we're killed by negroes
and three of the negroes have been
killed alsu.
The country is in state of intense
excitement and it is feared further
trouble may ensue between the whites
and blacks.
The slaughter started about 10
O'Clock last night, when Sims and
Cato were shot down in their store by
a negro named Sam Clark. Sims was
engaged in checking up his cash when
CLARK came in. Before he could make
any kind of move Clark raised a
Winchester and fired, the shot taking
effect first in the back and then break
ing the collarbone. He died instantly.
Clarl, Immediately turned on Cato,
the manager, who was in another part
of the store and shot him in the right
Iside, the ball coming out on the left
side.
Cato staggered out to the back Of the
store and as he reached the door a
negro convict guard named Van Horn,
who was in waiting, struck him over
the Mead with a rife. Cato died at
O'Clock this morning and the ply
sician gives it as his opinion that the
blow over the head caused his death.
News of the tragedy was Immediately
sent TO Greenville and Sheriff John
Crouch, with posse. went to the
scene.
| The negroes, Van Horn and Clark,
had made their escape before the posse
arrived, but the trail of Van Horn was
found and he was tracked about q
quarter of a mile into the woods.
Here another negro convict guard
named Mayield interfered with the
posse aad he was shot down in his
/ tracks.
Var Horn was captured and taken
! 70 Leland, Il miles distant, where he
was placed in the Jail. He remained
| in jail all night under strong guard,
and at 8. 80 O'Clock this morning be
was taken cut and lynched bya mob.
While the sheriff and posse were
busy with Van Horn the other negro,
Sam Clark. returned to the Sims
store with the intention, it is said,
of killing Buck Williams, the other
partrIer; the bookkeeper, named
Crow, who was also at work, and
Others. Crow, however, after the
previous shooting had armed himself
and sl negro who worked about the placec
named Aaron Fuller. When Clark
made his appearance he was shot and
killed by both Crow and Fuller. It is
believed at Trail Lake that the shoot
ing is the outcome of meeting hel d
in the vicinity of Trail Lake by a
negro secret society and that the ne
groes involved we're picked out to do
the Killing.

Dalny.

Dalny, which was the last town on
the Liao-Tung Peninsula between. Port
Arthur and the Japs, has fallen,
thereby putting an ancient Oriental
people in possession Of one OF the most
modern Occidental towns that genius
and morey could create. Since the
days cf Har un Al Rascbid. there has
NOT oeen so marvellous creation from
the will Of one man as this beautiful
town, which was built to order before
a soul moved into it. The town is
laid out in four sections, which con-
verge towards the center, much as
slices OF pie. One section is for dwell
ings, one for the administration, one
for business and one for trapsporta
tiop. The houses were beautifully
built, the streets we'll paved, water
and electricity we're put in and then
the Car ordered enough Russians,
both Of the domestic and military
species, to report at Danly in order to
make it city. So She inhabitants
of "Far Off, which is the meaning
of Dalny, in Russian. settled them
selves down for a future Life of ease
and prosperity in beautiful town.
Then came the stupidity and cupidity
of the government of Russia, which
drove the japanese to war, and now
within few months this fairy city
has fallen into the hands of the en-
emy. Cities may be built to order,
but they cannot be kept alive if they
are governed by men or despots whose
fundamental principles are in oppo
sition to right and justice. Richmond

NOTES AND COMMENT.
BY VIM. D. S..


The natatorium ought to be oper
for BUSINESS. It furnishes the "kids''
SO much fun hot afternoons.
Faithfulness, punctuality, and cour'
tesy in any laborer is praiseworthy
I am thinking of Joe Grantham. Who
does not know "old Joe Grantham"'
Years ago when the mails could have
been carried on the back Joe got the
contract at small price to do this
work. Now, it requires horse and
wagon and much lifting. Yet the
law says there is but one way to get
more money, commensurate with the
work. He must give ten days notice
of bis resignation, the government
will advertise for bidders, and then
be must bid again. But he might
not get it again. Herein the danger
lies. This is the only way. No one
in authority can change the law.
Unfortunate Joe and the old grey
must continue to baul those messages
of love, commercial communications,
please remits," etc., until the tide
of his life flows out. (The old grey
will outlive him. Joe is always in
the thick of the fight at fire, and
on Sunday he's a leader in the
choir. And how many times? mail
this on the train for me, joe It's
all truly appreciated, but the old grey
says it don't satisfy that yawning
chasm between his shoulder blades
and hip bones.

COUNTY PATROL IN GEORGIA.
Systematic Police Patrol Estab-
Iished in Richmond County.

Augusta, Ca, June 3.-In accord
ancls with the recommendations of the
recent grand jury, Judge VIM. F. Eve,
county commissioner, has divided the
rural districts Of the county into two
beats, and beginning June 1st, they
will be daily patrolled by the county
policemen.
The recommendation of the grand
jury, there being but two county po-
lice, was that the bailifs Of the city
anc superior courts, be also required
to patrol the county along with the
police. After investigation, Juoge
Eve found that this duty could not
be required CT them, and that il
would interfere and conflict with theil
other duties. For this reason Judge
Eve was forced to arrange for the
patrolling of the rural districts with
two men.
The first beat is composed of the
123rd, the 124th, and the 1434th dis
tri,ts, and will be patrolled by County
Policeman Seago. AZ the present time
it lis being patrolled by Deputy VIM.
D'Antignac, Policeman Seago being
engaged in special duty under the di-
rection of the county board of health.
The second beat is composed Of the
12e9tb, the 10th, and the 10TH dis
tricts It is being patrolled by County
Policeman Foster Sherlock.
The policemen receive 81 Per day fol
each day of service and are required
to furnish their own horses. They are
not permitted to patrol any of the in.
cotporated villages on their respective
beats, these being looked after by the
village marshals. The hours of service
ara eight hours daily.
'tAs far as possible, and where il
seems practicable. I desire to carry
out the recommendations of the recent
grand jury, as I have in the past and
expect to in the future,'' said Judge
VIM. F. Eve yesterday afternoon.
"Nhere it is feasible and the results
are satisfactory, the recommendations
will be permanently adopted The
patrolling of the beats Established has
already been inaugurated. -
