they do not endorse and will as

BURGLAR CAPTURED
Negro Who Robbed Depot Here Sew.
eraI Weeks Ago.

Andrew King, a negro who
burglarized the depot here sew
eral weeks ago, has been captured
by officers at Pope Station IN Tai
lahatchic county, and is being
held at the latter place. His ar
rest was the result of information
furnished by authorities here.
Last Monday Sheriff Withers
sent Deputy w. r. Counts to Pope
Station for the prisoner, but as
the authorities at the latter place
had found a gun on the negro
when arrested, they would not
release him. 1t is thought that
King has made arrangements to
pay his fine and costs in the latter
charge. He will then be sent
here to be tried for burglary.
King came from Tate county to
this place, and had worked few
days for Liveryman Williams be-
fore committing the burglary.

SMALLPOX IN HERNANDO
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen Order
Compulsory Vaccination.

-Four cases of smallpox in var.
ious stages of development are re-
ported in the northern part Of
town, in the district known as
BAT" It Itapeared first among the
negroes Of course, as it always
breaks out among them in a town
Or community first. 1t is in
the family of Georgia Rice.
One of the patients was exam
ined by DR.. Jones early Monday
morning and he pronounced the
disease smallpox and quarantin-
ed the house. Since then three
other cases have developed.
The disease is in SO mild d form
that many people did not believe
that it was smallpox. Wednes.
day evening, DR.. Marcus Haase,
a prominent member of the Mem
phIs board Of health was sum
moned. After visiting the pa
tients, DR.. Haase unhesitatingly
sustained DR.. Jones diagnosis of
the disease.
The board of mayor and alder
men met yes terday morning and
ordered a rigid compliance with
the state compulsory vaccination
law, which provides that all per.
sons living within five miles of a
district infected with smallpox
shall be vacclnated. They in
vite all good citizens to aid them
in their efforts to suppress the
disease.
By request we reproduce be
low the remedy for smallpox
which appeared in these columns
two weeks ago. 1t is not oIly
harmless, but is good blood
purifier:
One ounce of cream tartar dis
solved in pint of boiling water
TO be drunk when cold at shortin-
tervals. 1t never leaves mark,
never causes blindness and always
prevents tedious lingering The
worst case of smallpox can be
cured in three days by this simple
remedy. 1t is a we'll known treat
ment of Dr.. Charles Rose, of
Dorking, England. Chicago Tri-
bune.

Protect the Birds.

Sportsmen on hunting trips are
in the habit of shooting birds that
can in no sense be considered
game, simply for practice. Tt is
undoubtedly a fact that large
numbers of red birds, jay birds,
flickers, sap suckers, wood peck
ers, thrushes, back birds, cat
birds, bullbats and birds of like
character are destroyed every
year. Without considering the
aesthetic side of the question, such
birds should not be killed. From
an economic standpoint they are
of great value to the public in the
way of worm and insect destroy
ers. 1t is said that a drove of bull
bats are of more value to a ma
laria district than a grove of quin-
inc trees, for the simple fact that
in the spring and summer their
diet consists principally of mos
quitoes. And to kill these valu-
able servants for practice in
shooting is a practice that no true
sportsman will engage in. Let
US hope that it is the result Of
thoughtfulness. This appeal is
made to the sportsmen of Miss
issippi to ask them to consider the
great value of the non. game birds
and it is believed that they will
not only abstain from killing such
birds but will preach the gospel
of protection atall times.

asked the salesman of the above
named concern before purchas-
ing the medicine if it would in
toxicate, and had been assured

The suit was brought by the com
pany to force payment.
A number of witnesses were
introduced who testified that they

erage and that it made them dizzy
and ''few to their head" One

KILLING AT PLEASANT HILL
Commodore and Lon Perry Waylay
Will Sanders All Negroes.

/
Deputy Sheriff Shelton and Mr..
George Tarver yesterday brought
TO fernando Commodore and Lon
Perry, charged with numbering
Will Sanders near Pleasant Hill
yesterday.
According to statements made
by the Perrys, Sanders went to
Com modore Perrys' house We'd
nesday morning and they became
involved i'll a dispute over a mule
which Sanders wanted to borrow
from Perry. Blows followed
words and Sanders struck Perry
on the head several times, inflict-
ing scalp wounds, and said he
would kill Perry the next time he
saw him. Sanders left for Pleas
ont Hill and Commodore, in COM
pany with his brother Lon, armed
with shotgun lay in wait beside
the road for his return. AS San
ders passed by they came out
and fired upon him. He attempt
ed to take refuge behind his team
but was pushed out by Lon and
shot through the heart by Com
modore. During the melee one
of the mules was shot but not
seriously injured. Sanders bore
a bad reputation.
Deputy Sheriff Shelton, who
was at Pleasant Hill, was notified
and secured a possee and gave
chase at once and captured the
negro, who offered no resistance.
The Perrys waived preliminary
hearing and were jailed. They
have retained HoInes & Holmes

''Only nine representatives from

1t was during this year that the
law against carrying concealed
weapons went into effect as the
following shows:
''The concealed weapon act
goes into effect Immediately"
The following shows that school
teachers had their troubles then:
"The county superintendent OF
education ANNOUNCES that the pub.
lie schools of this county cannot
be continued for the full term,
five months, in consequence of the
shortness OF funds on hand
This advice was given to the

the constantly increasing demands
from old customers, suggest that
building trade upon quality has prov
ed a great success. Absolute conf
dence in the quality of their products
can always be maintained, and they
are ever ready to stand by their
claims Many complaints have been
received by US from readers from all
over the country concerning the in
feriOr quality of some makes of cot
ton yarns now on the market, and
asking us to recommend a m2nufac-
turer who can always be relied upon.
From our observation locally, also
referring the matter to our represen-
tatives in all the principal cities, we
feel justified in recommending the
products of the Coleman Cotton Man
ufacturing Company, of Concord,
II. G.
This investigation was made with
out their knowledge or consent We
have no personal interest in making
this recommendation, except to give
ways been our policy.
The above, l think, is sufficient to
show that the Coleman Cotton Mill
has done good work, and the fact
that it is now needing funds which /
hope it may get, is due to conditions
that, so far, since the death of w. G.
Coleman, could not be controlled.

bury.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Salisbury N. c., June 9.-North
bound passenger train No. 40 was
wrecked here last night at about mid
night, instantly killing Engineer Tyler
ID. Hanes and the colored fireman,
Jim Watkins. The wreck occurred
near the yard limits, about one-haIf
mile south of the passenger depot,
and was caused by the train running
into an open switch. The Inflated
train was making about thirty-five
miles an hour, and theN engineer and
crew had not a moments warning of
the open switch, the engine blowing
at full speed into number of loaded
box cars on the siding.
The scene of the wreck is in a cut,
and some OF the box cars were thrown
up a distance of about twenty-five
feet into a garden near by
The engine turned over soon after
striking and pinioned Engineer Hanes
and Fireman Watkins under the
debris. Both of Them were scalded to
death. The dead bodies were extri-
Gated at an early hour this morning
and sent 10 Charlotte. where both
parties resided.
There seems to be no doubt that the
switch had been opened by some mis-
CTcdlL DeiL Ol NlcCh1tiS Sotlc litlI,
though it is not known which. Nos.
50, south-bound. and So, north bound,
had passed over the line but q. few
minutes before the awful catastrophe
occurred, and it is said the track was
all right at that time and the switch
light burning, though the latter was
out when No. 40 attempted to pass.
Railroad detectives have been engaged
to ferret out the cause of the wreck,
though but little can be learned as to
the perpetrators of the dastardly deed.
. An unknown colored tramp, who is
said to have been beating his way on
the train, was also seriously, if not
fatally injured. beyond which there
were no other fatalities. The main
line has been cleared and travel re-
Sumed.

A DESTRUCTIVE RAIN STORM.
One of the Worst Ever known in the
Centre and Pleasant Garden Sec

Especial to News and Observer

Greensboro, n. c., June 9.-Parties
who were in the city yesterday from
the Pleasant Garden section told of
rain which was probably the most de-
structive ever experienced in that sec
ton of the county and which fell day
before yesterday. The territory affect
ed most seriously was the Pleasant
Garden and Center neighborhOOds and
between those sections and Alamance
church. Meadows were covered to q
depth of three feet with water, and
of course the crops in the meadows
were completely ruined. One farmer
estimated the damage to his crop at
$500. A bridge that has been stand
ing for twenty years was washed
away. Rocks weighing as much as
200 pounds were swept far out of their
accustomed beds by the terrific tor
rent. In the level yards of farm
houses the water was six and eight
inches deem.
