1000 RO,tsrs Of State TrOops,

Hon. Dunbar Rowland, Direc-
tor of the Department of Ar
chives and History, left this after
noon for Washington, where he
goes to take the rosters of Missis-
sippi troops, as far as they have
been completed BY the depart
ment. Through the energetic
perseverance Of the director and
the active cooperation of the va
rious Confederate societies, the
department has beea able to get
ready 1000 rosters, all complete.
These 1000 have been put in
shape and carefully packed in
boxes for shipment, and Director
Rowland viii himself accompany
the shipment, in order to see that
they are safely delivered to the
War Department.
Director Rowland thinks these
will be the first rolls to be receiy-
ed by the department from any
Southern State, and while they do
not of course complete the roster
of the State troops, the director
thought it best to deliver them to
the department at once. In the
meantime the work of getting up
the remainder of the rosters will
be vigorously pushed, and as fast
as they can be completed they
will be sent on to Washington.

Who can estimate the value of a

instead Of gloom and sadness
Everybody is attracted to these

but repelled BY the gloomy, the.

people who radiate cheer where

bic beside such disposition.

in THE CIRCUIT COURT
THE GRAND JURY ADJOURNED YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
The Court is Giving It's Time and At.
tentiOn to the Nhitecap Cases.

No final results have been
reached in any of the many cases
before the Circuit Court since
Wednesday noon. The time has
been occupied in the hearing of
motion to quash the indictments
against Bert McNair, charging
him with white Gaping, and the
drawing Of special venires in the
cases against Dave Posey, charg-
| ing him with murder.
1t seems to have been generally
understood that interesting pro-
ceedings in the many white cap
cases would be had yesterday, and
by ten o'clock a. M, the court
house was packed with interested
spectators. While the court pro-
ceedings were being delayed by
consultations of attorneys and in
terested parties, Hon. H. Cassidy
announced that on next Wednes-
day week there will be a public
meeting at the court house, which
all citizens are invited to attend.
The object being to form an in
corpo1ated organization to protect
the county and State from the
boil Weevil and to advance the
general industrial development of
the farmers.
After the sheriff had brought
Will Porter and Cliff Smith into
court Judge Wilkinson delivered
a lengthy address on the nature of
the crime of white Gaping and
some of the evils that organiza-
tions, meeting in the night time
and subscribing to oaths, bring
upon our people, and the untold
trouble the white cap organiza-
tions have brought on certain
families in Lincoln county. The
timely advice of the Judge to the
old men to quit joining such or
CARNATIONS and to the young men
to quit following these old men
off into such unlawful organiza-
tons, was timely, impressive and
well received by all present
The court announced that ces-
sat would be entered in the case
of all persons who had committed
no other offense than taking the
oath, and joining into the organi-
zation. This simply means that
p .osecution ceases for the time
being; but if hereafter it should
appear that the clemency of the
court is being abused, the accused
can be proceeded against on the
indictments now held against
them.
In case of persons indicted for
white Gaping posting notices
and shooting into houses, etc.,
and in the case of two members
of the Board of Supervisors,
against whom different indict-
ment was returned the. prosecu-
tions will proceed at this term Of
the Court.
AT the conclusion OF his re-
marks the court announced to
Will Porter and Cliff Smith that
they might go free.
In the trial of Bert McNair,
charged with conspiring to white
cap in a certain case, the attor-
neys entered motion to quash
the indictment on the ground that
the grand jury which returned it
was illegally constituted, was
over ruled by the court. After
this defendants attorneys entered
a plea in abatement to stave of a
trial, and this had not been pass-
ed on by the court when this re
port closed.
The grand jury submitted its
final report yesterday afternoon
and was discharged. The report
is lengthy one and we will have
to postpone its publication until
| our next iSsue.

a "Hunch. that was PrOfltab,s.

One of H. c. Fahnestock's custom
ers came into the brokers' Office dur
ing a phenomenal rise in cotton in a
terrible hurry. Cotton was booming
toward the high mark.
"See here, Fahnestock," said the
man with the hurry on, 'I'm not SUI
=perstitious, but want you to close out
my line of cotton and put me short a
few thousand bales. I've got a doctor
tinkering at my nose, and this morning
he kept pushing the cotton up higher
and higher. He hurt so that it gave
me hunch that couldn't stand for
its going any higher"
Fahnestock protested, but the i'm
petnous customer stuck to his point
against all argument. Three days later
the crash came, and Fahnestock's Gus,

profitable results that the broker now

though diligent search was made
at the time, no trace of the miss
ing property could be found, until
yesterday Mexican brought the
case to Mr.. Rutledge's jewelry
store to have works put in. Mr..
Rutledge Immediately recognized
the case as the one stolen, and sent
for an officer. Policeman Odom
responded and learned that the
case had been bought by the man
who had it, from a young Mexican,
and the possessor agreed to show
the officers the man from whom he
purchased it. Accordingly Mr..
Odom sent an officer who soon re-
turned, having in custody the

the other watch could be found,
which was done. The young man

Some time ago a. d. Childress
wrote to a seed company for prices
on Rocky Ford cantaloupe seed,
and also asked about what time the

surprise when he received answer
that the famous melon would not
be ripe at all until the 5th or 10th
of August, and that no seed would
be OH the market before about the
1st of October. To a person living
in the Brownsville country the
above sounds strange indeed, when
it is calculated that the third crop
of canteloupes will be coming in
about that time. Not only is this
true of canteloupes, but the same
may be said of all other tropical
fruits and vegetables in this sec
ton, and a melon that cannot be
obtained before that date, would
not be in it at all here.
