the question of compelling the Union

Warfare on the Modern Plan.

The particulars on the recent
brilliant japanese naval victory
show that Admiral Togo waited
thirty miles out at sea-that is,
below the horizon-while his de-
coy fleet of small vessels tempted
the Russians out of the harbor;
then the commander of the decoy
feet sent Togo a wireless message
to come in and he did, with the
result aforesaid. Here is state
ment of a fact that the people of
the last generation would not I'M
derstand. A participant in our
civil war on reading that descrip-
ton would not know what it
meant. And to think that this
mysterious force and means Of
communication existed while our
blockading squadrons were scan
ming the horizon with glasses dur
ing the long watch of the civil
war! How many more forces,
how many more means of commu-
nications and sources of knowI-
edge and power exist that we do
not now dream Of? -Clarion-Led-

GOING AFTER WITNESSES.
Federal Grand Jury to investigate
Mhitecaps.

A deputy United States Mar
shall, armed with big bunch of
subpoenas, will leave tomorrow
for the wiretapper districts of
Lincoln, Amite and Franklin
counties. The object of his trip
is to bring witnesses to testify be-
fore the Federal grand jury now
in session regarding the acts of
whitecappers in driving negroes
from government homesteads,
and some surprising developments
are promised if the witnesses
wanted can be found.
Hon. j. Ell. McGehee, the fore
man of the Federal grand jury,
is resident of the wiretapper
district in Franklin county, and
is therefore very familiar with
the operations of the lawless
bands, who continue to hold week
ly meetings to devise their plots
and schemes, Notwithstanding the
vigorous efforts that have been
made TO suppress their outlawry,
and the presence in that section of
several Pinkerton detectives, who
have been employed by Governor
Vardaman to work up evidence
against them. The Federal grand
jury will take cognizance of only
such cases where the rights of
homesteaders have been violated
by the whitecappers in their
efforts to drive the negroes out of
the three counties, an object in
which they have already succeed
ed only too well, as thousands of
acres of fertile lands are now ly-
ing idle on account of the fact that
there is no negro labor to cult

Annie May Abbott.

This wonderful little woman,
known as the Georgia Magnet,
appeared at Heuck's Opera House
last night, according to engage
ment, and for an hour and a half,
furnished a novel and wholly
unique entertainment to an intel
ligent and deeply interested audi
ence, which by turns, looked on
with open-eyed aston1shment at
the manifestations of the subtle
power exerted through her, Or
we're convulsed with laughter at
the pranks and failures of the
gentlemen of the audience who
had been selected to assist in the
exhibition.
| We will mention but a few of
the examples of the marvellous
occult power of which she is the
sole medium.
While six stout men were sit
ting or piled on a strong chair,
Miss Abbott, by placing her
hands at the back of the chair,
lifted it clear of the floor with its
load and moved it two feet. DR..
Scion Wilson, who held his hands
between Miss Abbott's and the
chair posts when this was done,
said he felt no unusual pressure
on his hands when the chair was
moved.
DR.. Van Watts and President
Cooper, of Whitworth College,
stood with their hands resting one
on top of the other against one CT
the wooden facings of the stage,
and while Miss Abbott stood fac
ing toward them and her hands
resting on DR.. Watts hand; about
20 gentlemen, in line, all at the
same time attempted to push her
against the stage facing where
rested the hands of Drs. Watts
and Cooper and failed to bulge
her. While this effort was being
made, Drs. Watts and Cooper tes-
tilted they felt no unusual pres
sure ON their hands. Four boys
of the audience were called out,
and while they severaIy pushed
up their sleeves and looked sted-
lastly into Miss Abbott's eyes and
she into theirs and told them just
to think they could not be lifted
off the floor, there was not a man
on the stage with the strength to
raise one off his feet.
Miss Abbott herself, who weighs
about lis pounds, would stand
erect On the stage, her hands at
her side, and any man of ordinary
strength could raise her from the
floor. When he was asked to lift
her clear of the floor a second
time, she would raise one hand
and bling it in contact with the
side of his face or neck, and when
a strong man like Supervisor j.
b. Wills, for example tried it, he
could no more bulge her than he
could a big gate post planted firm
ly in the ground.
No other human being in the
world is known to possess this
marvellous, subtle power, and no
one has ever yet been able to
satisfactorily explain it.

never are; the shelf from which
the book has, been taken wears q
mournful, desecrated appearance
for six months or so, and then
another volume is found to fill The

The intrinsic value of the book,
very often, is a mere nothing.

Enforcing the Law.

| Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi
continues to disappoint the ex-
pectations of many people who
professed to fear that his admins
tration would be signalized by q
general relaxation of legal re-
straints. We have heretofore re-
ferled to the positive stand he
took to save the negro Baldwin
from death at the hands of mob.
1t now gives US pleasure to note
that he is doing every thing in
his power to suppress whitecap-
ing in certain southern counties
of the State.
The last Legislature placed in
the hands Of the Governor a lib
eral appropriation for the sup
preston of lawlessness. and of
this instrument that official APP
pears to be avaiIing himself to the
fullest extent. Realizing how
difficult 1t was to get up the evil
dence for the convictions ofwhite-
caps through the officers of the
county, he has, our dispatches
state, employed several detectives
to 60 down into the infested dis
tricts. One of them is said to
have been very successful in dis
covering the names of those who
have been guilty of the offense
and in securing evidence to be
1 used against them both before the
grand jury and the Circuit Court.
There ought to be little trouble
in probing the outrages to the
bottom and bringing the ringIead-
ers to trial, if not to justice, as
Stunning that the detectives know
their business and are prepared to
do their duty. OF course, the ones
against whom evidence is secured
will have the benefit of jury from
their own county and convictions
may not result. But whether they
do or not, the ordeal will, be suffi-
Gent to impress the average
wiretapper with the perlls OF his
favorite amusement. E.
Some time since there was
veritable reign of whitecapping in
certain southern counties in South
ern Mississippi, but the indigna-
ton of the better element of the
citizens, the firm attitude of Gov.
Longino and several prosecutions
soon quieted the lawle IS contin-
gent. But In spite of the fact
that the general movement in that
section was quelled effectively at
the time. there has been since
then recrudescence in one or
two counties Of the spirit of law
lessness which has once more
aroused the lawabiding citizens.
1t is to be hoped that their efforts,
seconded by those of the Cover
nor and the courts, will be able to
put an end to conditions which
are so prejudiciaI to the progress
and prosperity of the counties
affected and, incidentally, of the
entire State. Times Democrat.

Call for Mass Meetin9.

After a full and free conference
among ourselves at a meeting
held for that purpose, and with
Gov. Vardaman, it has been de-
cided appropriate and timely to
call mass meeting of all law
abiding white citizens of Lincoln
county at the Court House in
Brookhaven on Saturday, May
21st inst, at - O'Clock m., to
give expression to their condem-
nation of white cap organizations
and outrages, abetted and agra
waited by labor agents and their
strikers, and to take such steps as
may seem wisest and most expe-
dent for bringing TO punishment
the perpetrators of this form of
lawlessness and the restoration Of
peace and orderly government in
our county. To farmers and bus
mess men of all callings, who are
suffering alike as a result of these
labor disturbances and having the
value of their property depreciat-
ed, the time for vigorous and
concerted action for the enforce
ment of the law must be apparent.
