Negro County Convict Killed.

Henry Dodson, negro county
convict, sent up from beat three a
few weeks ago for vagrancy, was
killed by. the guard, Sam Posey,
while trying to make his escape
Thursday morning. The negro
had told Supt. eagle early in the
morning that he did not intend to
serve on the farm and had rather
die than do SO, and was sent to
the cotton patch with a squad of
other negroes in charge of Sam
Posey, who is the regular guard.
Watching his opportunity, he at
tempted to wrench the guards
gun out of his hand, and, failing
in this, after a short scuffle, start
ed to run, when he was shot and
instantly killed, being pierced
through the body with a Winches-
ter ball.
Dodson was bad negro and got
about what he deserved. Before
being sent to the farm he made a
demonstration in the presence of
an unprotected white lady near
Bogue Chitto, for which he bare
ly escaped lynching, and seem
ed bent on making a living by
crooked means rather than honest
labor.

given strong evidence of the faith

we dare say that no successors of

A Ripe Sheaf has Fallen.

On last Monday morning, 10th
inst. Mrs. Julia Ann Sutton, wife
Of Joseph III. Sutton, deceased,
was taken from earth to Heaven
by the ministering angels sent
forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation. Heb.
1914.
Grandma Sutton, nee Long,
was born June 10Th, 1919, and
was married to Joseph III. Sutton
Aug. 18th, 1886. Soon after their
marriage, they pitched their tent
near Bogue Chitto river, five miles
south of where Brookhaven now
stands, many long years before the
shrill whistle of the locomotive
was ever heard in these parts. It
was here that this happy couple
lived and wrought for more than
half century in building up a
model Southern home and the
country surrounding them. Dur
ing their happy union there were
born to them Is children, four of
whom preceded them to the
grave.
Grandma Sutton joined the
Baptist church at Mt. Pleasant in
1888, and was in the constitution
of the Mt. Moriah church back in
the 40's and was the last consti-
tuent member of that church to
pass away. This Christly woman
lived to see 80 grandchildren and
108 great-grandchildlen.
In the presence of all her living
children, save one, and a great
host of solrowing relatives and
friends, at 8 p. m. on Tuesday,
she was laid peacefully away in the
family grave yard beside her
sleeping husband, who preceded
her to The grave four years ago,

Circuit Court in Pike.

Magnolia, Miss, Sept. 90. The
case of the State VS.. j. L. Bacot
charged with the murder of l. N.
Varnado, was called in the Circuit
Court today. A motion made by
the attorneys for Bacot to quash
the Indictment was oyelruled by
Judge Wilkinson, and the case
was ordered set for hearing next
Tuesday. A special venire of fif-
ty jurors was ordered. There is
great interest in the case, and a
good many predictions are being
made as to the final outcome Of
the matter, but the persistent 81
lence of both sides makes it i'm
possibleto obtain any information
as to what will be proven when
the tlial is called. A great array
of legal counsel will appear on
both sides. 1t is said that r. g.
Wall, who is now in jail at Halle
hurst awaiting the final decision
of the Supreme Court on the
habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tuted by him when it was sought
to have him taken to Louisiana to
answer to the charge of murder
ing Varnado, will appear as a wit
ness in the case, and it is known
that a great number of other men
from the Southern portion of the
county have been summoned. Mr..
Bacot is in charge of special
deputy sheriff.
In view of the fact that the re-
mainder of the term will be con-
sumed in the trial of criminal
cases, Judge Wilkinson has order
ed a special term of the Circuit
Court of Pike county to be held
in January, and has continued all
civil business until that time. The
tenn has been the heaviest in the
history of the county. Four
weeks are allowed for the Circuit
Court of this county, but that time
will not suffice for the criminal
docket and all civil business will
have to go over. Nearly dozen
murder cases were on the docket,
two convictions for manslaughter
having already resulted.

Respect for Women.

When a man habitually speaks
sIightingly of any woman, or
women as class, be betrays him
self 10 attempting to iniure wom-
en-. It is related that at public
dinner recently, at which no wom-
en- were present, a man of this ilk
was called upon to respond to the
toast Woman. :" He dwelt almost
entirely upon the weakness of the
sex, claiming that the best among
them were little better than the
worst, the difference being in the
surroundings. AT the conclusion
of his speech one of the guests
rose and said: i trust that the
gentleman, in the application of
his remarks, refers to his own
mother and sisters, and not to
ours. This answer turned his
weapon against himself with a
vengeance. A celebrated author
says. The criterion Of j man
character is not his creed, moral,
intellectual OF religious; it is the
degree Of respect be has for Wom-
en-. = An eminent clei lyman pays
this noble tribute ] am more
grateful to God for the sense that
came to me through my mother
and sisters Of the substantial IN
tegrity, purity and nobility Of
Womanhood than for almost any
