TO secure a weapon and threatened
TO shoot me, aud also threatened
To shoot MY son on his return to

he would kill me, as he said he
was sick and could not live much
longer. My son was sitting by me
and overheard the conversation
W hen | told my son the language
my husband used to me this morn
ing in the hall, and for the last
two weeks, my son told him that

or with such treatment; that |
nave had to support Fairex for
the last three years. Then was
the time he cursed my son and
said he would kill him if he tried

The truck season IN Mississippi
has now fairly opened up, and the
outlook is for record breaking
crop Of fruits and vegetables
Shipments have already broken
the record. The Illinois Central
is hauling an average of forty cars
of fruits and vegetables daily from
points south of Jacksen, and ii is
estimated that this road alone will
handle $500 carloads during the
season, destined for the Northern
markets. The first CARLOAD of
tomatoes went forward Thursday
from Crystal Springs. The crops
in the southern portion Of the
State have been excellent, and
produce is bringing good price
in the markets.

MR.. WILLIAMS TO MR.. BOWERS.

nc EcnO mas been furnished by
the secretary Of Hon. e. j. Bow.
crs with copy of u letter to the
latter from Hon. John S. Will
liams, which we gladly reproduce
as matter of interest to oul
readers:
Minority Conference Room,
House of Representatives, u. S.
Washington, d. g., Apr. 5, '04.
Hon. L. j. Bowers.
House Representatives, City:
Dear Bowers:--
| want to thank you as one of
the members of the Committee on
Elections No. /, for the almost
incalculable benefit that you have
conferred upon the South, and
incidentally upon the Democratic
party, by your services on that
committee. 1t is, unfortunately,
OF such a character that the pub
lie knows nothing about il, and
you will never receive any credit
in the press, or in the shape Of
popular applause for it.
The report in the case of Lever
VS.. Dantzlc, which was unanimous
(and the unanimity having been
largely due TO your industry, assis-
tance and iuformation) was, in my
opinion, thing so valuable to
good government and to the hope
of the perpetuation of the whiS5
mans civilization in the SotB
that the Democrats, who aided By
their insight, conservatism, and
tact in preparing it, ought to be
remembered by me, as the Demo
cratic floor leader, and as aSouth-
erner and attached to the cause of
the white mans supremacy, and
the white man S cou, rr, aiyays
! want to thank you .rcgJfa for
bringing about that result. IAN.
perhaps, the only man outside Of
the committee, aware of the in
dustry, application, legal acumen,
and tact that was necessarily dis
played in arriving at that result,
You remember that when you first
told me that there probably could
DC a report of that character, and
you and other Democratic mem
bers of the Committee asked me
whether to agree to it and let it 90
in just as it was or not, answered
Yes and that "as poor as | am
woullf g1t0,S1s000 aud borrow
,he money, 70 have that l1porc
spread on the Congressional REQ,
Ird," 1t means peace TO the South
md that the Courts, the proper
tribunals, shall decide all points
Of constitutionality raised in con-
lection with new constitutions
and Congressmen from the South
ern Stntes, | write this letter to
you, because Eaye been made in
a certain sort of way your "Cap-
tain" on the floor, and | think it
is right to recognize by special
mention your peculiar services to
The party.
| am, with every expression of
regard, Very truly yours,
john S. WILLIAMS.

jackson, Miss, May 25.-The
Mississippi Worlds Fair Conmis-
sionevs held a meeting here this
afternoon, all being present, and
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, it is apparent to this
Bureau that u want of harmony
exists among certain of the en-
ployss of this State, now at st.
Louis, supervising Mississippi's
exhibit at Worlds Fair; and
Whereas, This Bureau IS aware
of the fact that said want of har-
mony arises from a conflict of
supposed rights and authority
conferred on certain parties now
at the "Beauvoir" building in St.
Louis by this bureau, when in
reality no such authority rlaaq .hee n
conferred;
Therefore be it resolved, That
this bureau disapproves of the oc-
oupancy Of the Mississippi build
ing as place of residence or as
sleeping apartment By any officer,
employee or other person, except
n janitor, who may act as night
watchman; and the state Com
is hereby directed and
instructed to cause said building
TO be vacated rs u habitation for
any person or persons, himself
not excepted.
A committee consisting of Gov.
