Hits the BulI's-Eye Again.

Gov. Vardaman was asked last
week for an expression on the
Springfield (Ohio) lynching, and
this is what he said:
II do not care to say anything about
1t. The people OF Ohio r capable of
attending to their own affairs. 1t is
no business of mine. A few such afro
cious murders, however. as that COM
mitted by the negro desperate, and
then the finishing touch put on 1t by
the mob will give our Northern friends
something to talk about other than
abusing the Southern people. Blood
is thicker than water, and just so long
as negroes cruelty murder white men
and outrage white women, there Is 60
ing to be trouble In the land.
There is no excuse for burning-it
Is fiendish, fiagitious and brutalizing to
those who inflict it. For murder, the
courts are ample to deal out justice,
and the courts should be upheld and
the law enforced. This trouble in
Ohio, in the very heart of a city with
rigid police regulations, shows the in
tensity of C prejudice, even in the
" ~ 40 q oS ARIoA1 u ooCihl tI0u-
bles, which causes me to look with
anxiety to the future. The negro is
increasing in criminality. Liberty Is
regarded by him as a license. The
only remedy is restraint and the en-
actment of laws to suit his peculiar
mental and moral nature. Laws suit
ed to the white man do not fit the
negro. The fifteenth amendment to
the federal constitution should be re-
pealed. 1t would be the best thing
that could be done for the negro-in-
deed, it would be his salvation. It
will afford him protection and secure
his rights as a negro. / am the ne
gro's friend.
Il believe in protecting him in the
pursuit of happiness and the enjoy
ment of the products Of his labor. But
| am opposed to him voting, and any
thing that savors Of social equality
is repulsive. l believe he should be
given instruction in the schools, which
will develop his moral nature and edu-
cate his hands to perform profitable
labor. A backward glance at history
and a profound study of the Anglo
Saxon race emboldens me to say that,
in spite of constitution and laws, the
white man will not share in sover-
eighty and dominion with the black
man. And when the black man I'M
dertakes to force a division of author
ity, there is going to be trouble, and
then the ultimate determination of the
black man.
THE picture Is a gloomy one, but
facts are memorable, and we cannot
escape the direful consequence by cov-
ering our heads in the ~sand-drifts of
error, or resorting to a policy of doing
nothing. The occasional murder. rap
ing and mobbing which ruf1e the Sc
renity of the public mind today are
but the premonitory symptoms and
f%orerunners of the storm which turks
behind the horizon of a few decades"

FoRTY-sIxTH DAY.

The house held but one session and
was engaged all the morning passing
bills on the calendar Of the committee
on local and private legislation and a
large number of them were disposed
of. The senate finished up the priv
ilege tax bill and passed it. 1t will
now go to the house for action on
the senata amendment. The senate
in the afternoon devoted it's time to
passing local bills. The house COM
m:t.ee on local and private legislation
voted to indefinitely postpone the bill
passed by the senate to give the peo-
pie of Coahoma county the opportunity
to vote to abolish the Second district
of that county. The bill will hardly
come up in the house in view of this
e reDOrt.

Y. & M. v. Exemption.

If the McLaurin bill passed by the
senate repeating the exemption grant
ed the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
road many years ago from supervision
by the railroad commission on maxi
mum and minimum freight rates
should pass the house and secure the
approval of the governor, which it is
not very likely to do, the courts will
be called upon to define the status of
this road in Mississippi. The Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley exemption from SUI
pervision is exactly identical in its
provisions to the Gulf & Ship Island
exemption, which has been sustained
by the Supreme Court, and there are
grave doubts as toswhether it is SUBJ
ject to repeal without a breach of con-
tract being made. The railroad COM
pany is manifesting nc interest what
v e in the matter, and apparently
feels confident that the legislative act
is not worth the paper that 1t is writ
ten upon.

Coal Oil Inspection.

The efforts of the oil trust to de-
feat the coal oil inspection bill have
been very vigorous ever since the be-
ginning of the session, but it now
looks very much like the bill will
go through the house, and there are
some prospects of it's passage in the
senate, providing it's consideration by
the committee is not delayed. The bill
was enacted by the house several days
ago reconsidered, recommitted to the
judiciary committee, reported back by
that body in its original form with
out any changes whatever, and is now
again before the house for passage.
The provisions of the bill have already
been published.

Spring Examinations.

The office of the State superin-
tendent of education is in receipt Of
numerous inquiries regarding the
dates for the spring examinations of
teachers, and is unable to give any
definite information on the subject
owing to the bill now pending which
changes the dates for the spring and
fall examinations. 1t is expected
that the bill will be disposed Of
within a few days, and then the an
swer will be sent to all inquirers.

Neqro Murderer Captured.

Eugene Flowers, a negro who
killed a companion named George
Jones near Crystal Springs in JAN
uary, 1908, was captured a day or
so since by a deputy sheriff Of Co
piah county, and is now in Jail at
Hazelhurst. The inevitable instinct
of the criminal to return to the scene
of his crime vas responsible for the
capture of Flowers.

The Work Accomplished.

A cursory review of the work that
has been accomplished by the legisla-
ture shows that very little has been
done in the way of enacting new laws,
especially when the length of time the
body has been in session is considered.
The legislature met on the second of
January. The usual amount of time
has been frittered away, the customary
number of junketing trips have been
made, and the traditional vacation for
the Mardi Gras festivities was In
dulged in. There have been adjourn
ments from Friday until Mon lay, brief
daily sessions of both bodies during
the first four or five weeks. ard The
always to be expected waste of time
spent in discussing bills that ought to
have been tossed in the waste basket
Immediately after being introduced.
But the waste Of time has been no
greater at this session than any Of it's
predecessors, and the legislature in
nearly every respect has been an aver
age one. Perhaps it's most c%onspicu-
Gus defect has been the lack OF lead
ership. In neither body are there any
members who can lay claim TO tow
ering like giants above their asso-
ciates, or who can command q strong
and always faithful following. This
is rather surprising in view of the
fact that the lower house is composed
chiefly Of young men who are usually
The Tupelo journal., 1904-03-18
FO~RTY-SEVENTH DAY.

The surprise of the legislative ses-
sion at this time was the action of
the senate in increasing the house
bill appropriating $250,00O per annum
for Confederate pensions to $500 900
per annum After the amendment had
been adopted by a majority of three
votes the bill then failed to pass, ow-
ing to the lack of the constitutional
majority of two-thirds required to car
ry appropriation bills. Twelve mem
bers were absent and no anxiety is
felt over the defeat of the bill, as a
motion to reconsider was entered, and
it is believed hat it can be carried
when all members are on the floor.
Some very eloquent and high-spirit-
ed speeches were made during the
morning when the bill was under con-
sideration. A number viewed the mat
ter simply as a business proposition
and were not swayed beyond calm rea-
soning by sentiment, and were strong
ly of the opinion that a quarter of a
million dollars per annum is all the
State can afford to give just at pres
ent, in view of the fact that a bond
issue Is likely, but they were in the
minority and the amendment carried.
It's chief opponent was Chairman Far
ley of the finance committee.
The senate passed the bill making
the new formation of chancery and cir
cult court districts without amend
ment, and the measure now goes to
the house, where 1t will go through in
the same manner
The house passed practically with
out opposition the bill comforting on
Nightmares and the mothers Of lille
gitimates the same right to recover
in damage actions as persons of Anown
parentage.
A bill was passed fixing a tax on
cotton seed meal and cake IN the same
manner as now charged on fertilizers,
and providing for inspection Of same.
Several other minor measures were
passed by the house.
The Tupelo journal., 1904-03-18
E DAY.

The joint legislative conference
committee on the uniform book bill
last week recommended that the SEN
ate do not concur in the several
amendments and it do concur in other
provisions attached to the bill, by the
house. The chief inconvenience
recommendation Is relative to the man
ner of selecting the commission. and
this has been the principal bone of
contention ever since the first uniform
book bill was introduced. A lengthy
wrangle ensued, the result Of which
was the appointment of another on
ference committee on the Lart of the
senate and the ~discharging tf the old
committee. The present indications
for the passage of the school book bill
before adjournment are decidedly
poor, and the book lobbyists have man
aged to accomplish just what they de-
sired, by getting the two bodies at log
gerheads with each other.
The senate indefinitely postponed
the bill seeking to repeal the act in
cooperating the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley road, which gives it exemption
from supervision by the railroad COM
mission. The exemption was granted
in good faith, in the opinion of many
members, who thought it should be al
lowed to stand.
The house passed the appropriation
bill for the Alcorn A. & M. College
carrying $5S, 1S4.54, and The national
guard appropriation bill carrying ST.
500 per year.
A few other appropriation bills and
measures of no general interest were
passed by the house.

Smallpox Spreadinu.

Reports received by Secretary
Hunter at the office of the State
board Of health show that the small
pox contagion is spreading quite
rapidly in several infected commu-
mites, especially in the southern Sec
ton of the State. The type of the
disease, however, is somewhat mild
and the death rate has thus far been
quite small. The contagion is con-
fined chiefly to the negro population.

mediately afterward and has not yet

New Depot for Brandon.

The railroad commission has or
dered the Alabama & Vicksburg road
to build a new standard depot at
Brandon within ninety days. The
board has also passed the order clas-
styling the Gulf & Ship Island and
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
roads, exempting them from the SUI
pervision Of the commission, which
they claim in their charter.

FOR A FIFTY DAYS MARCH
Two Troops of Cavalry Ordered
From Fort Logan on an Clever
Hundred-Mile March.

Denver, Col, March 1.-Two troops
of cavalry, now at Fl. Logan, have
been ordered to leave the fort not later
than March 20 and to proceed overland
by way Of Wingate to Forts Huachuca
and Apache. This order prescribes a
march of more than LOO miles and
over some rough, mountainous coun-
try. The trip will require so days.
The Tupelo journal., 1904-03-18
~FORTY-NlNTH DAY..

Both houses of the legislature were
quite busy. The house ways and
mean committee reported in favor of
making a 81, 000, 900 bond issue, and a
bill prescribing the form of issue was
introduced by Mr.. Stennis, the chrir-
nan of the ways and can commit
tee. The indications are that lLis
matter will be left over until the very
last matter of Importance transacted
before adjournment. Sentiment among
the members Is very much divided
on the bond issue question. and there
is a disposition among those opposed
to the step to question the accuracy
of the figures prepared by those who
are urging the measure. A majority
of the latter are in favor of making
an issue of 81, OO0, 900 in bonds at 4
per cent to run for twenty wars, with
the privilege of redeeming a portion of
the amount each year.
Both bodies are grinding away on
appropriation bills, and several of the
largest measures of this kind are still
pending.
1t will require the vote of sixty
seven members in the house to carry
the bond issue bill, the constitution
providing that such bill be passed, by
the votes of a majority of all mem
bers elected to each house of the leg
islature. Only lfty-six members vot-
ed for the resolution declaring a bond
issue necessary, and only twenty-five
members we're absent. The advocates
must, therefore, get one-half of the alb
sentees and also maintain their former
strength.
That there is no certainty Of a bill
being enacted into law after it has
safely passed one body was illustrated
when the house committees slaught-
cred quite a number of bills sent over
from the senate, among the number
being two measures relating to the
liquor traffic.
A favorable report was made on the
senate bill prohibiting the giving to
minors of intoxicating liquors.
The house bill appropriating $780,
900 for the purpose of erecting monu-
ments to the Mississippi troops who
participated in the siege of Vicksburg
was unfavorably reported, and there
will be no legislation on this subject
during the session, similar action hav-
ing been taken in the senate on an
appropriation bill for this purpose.
An unfavorable report was also
made on the house bill to establish a
State depository system, and this is
another subject on which the laws will
not be changed by this session.
The elective judiciary matter is in
q tangle, and unless the senate adopts
the house resolution on this subject
the amendment will not be submitted
