WOULD BE UNWlSE,

a report is cut that the government
engineers who have offices in thii
city have been ordered by Engineer
Lucas, who is in charge of the dis.
trict. remove to Memphis,
n d that they will soon be
transferred there. We trust such q
report is untrue, for should the order
be carried out it will bring hardships
upon our district.
During the last high water fight
the presence of these engineers here,
who were in daily consultation and
made inspections with the engineers
of our own levee beard, did much to
prevent the cutting away Of the levee
at Chicot Point, Ark, and their ex-
perience and advice did much to-
wards holding the levee at Hunting
ton, which meant the saving of mil
lions Of dollars in properly and, no
doubt, the saving of many lives in
this State and Arkansas.
Had these engineers been at Mem
pins during this time, no doubt they
would have been sent to some other
points, for when the river was that
high nearly every point OIL the line of
levees was considered dangerous. We
hope for the good OF the work that the
order has never been contemplated by
Chief Engineer Lucas, and that he
will allow the government engineers
to remain in this city, and from here,
as in the past, direct the work along
their respective line of levees.

THE RIGHT KIND OF A POOR FARM.

Washington county needs u poor
house with small farm attached
where it can properly take care of its
poor, demented and unfortunate oiti-
zens and the crippled strangers that
enter its gates.
By the establishment of such a
place these people can be kept off
the streets and humanely cared for.
BY the addition of the farm, as we
suggest, many who are only mentally
deranged at times together with
the cripples, can help work the land
and sustain the Others who are en-
tirely disabled.
If the county and city of Green
vile will unite ana buy and operate
this farm, it would lessen She expense
of keeping these public charges in
city and county jajls, lessen the bur
den of their support Oh the shoulders
of the tax payers, and be revenue,
if ever so small to the county

The prohibition amendment which
has agitated the people of the State
and been discussed by the Legislators
for the past two weeks OF more, was
defeated on last Monday, and the
conservatives from Washington
county were largely responsible Tor
the defeat of the measure. The fore
ing Of this prohibitory measure would
not be in justice to those counties
that want local option. In cases OF
his kind the will of the people of the
counties that liceuse the sale of
liquor, should be respected by the
people of the counties who believe
that prohibition should be enacted.
Those who favor statutory prohibit
ton should have learned by this time
that it does not prohibit, but rather
allows the lind tiger to flourish,
and the county and cities are cut off
from the revenue derived from the lie.
gal sale of liquors. The Legislators
no doubt have found this TO be tue
in the dry" Capitol City where
whiskey can be purchased in any
quantity. Legislators have long
since learned that you can not legis-
late morals into people.

this city, as member Of the State
board of health is above criticism
coming at it did to him unsought,
while he, himself, was supporting
another physician for the place. 1t
showed the appointment ITO be one
made upon merit and ability, and not
politics. Mississippi has no better
physician or surgeon than DR. SmytAe
and his skill has attracted the at
tention of the great doctors of the
country. The appointment was an
excellent one and his services will
be of great benefit to the State.

We hope that Mayor Ierger will
again beAutify the plot of ground
around the water works plant. The
little expense incurred for the pur-
chase of few plants and flower seed
by the city is more than repaid by
its attractiveness and the attention
it draws and the impression it makes
upon the passengers upon the incom-
ing trains as they view il from the
car windows. In large cities there
are no more attractive spots than the
handsome grounds around their pub
lie works, and the pride of our
Southern cities should be as great.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

Holbert and his wife, who shot and
killed a white planter named Eastland
and a negro named Carr, near Indian
ola last week, were caught by an in
furiated mob near DoddsviIle on Sun
day and burned at the stake. Eastland
was young and highly esteemed
and his murder done without provo
cation.
Holbert and his wife were assisted
in GLIDING the mob as long as they
did, by members of coloIed lodges to
which Hclbert belonged, and as fast
as these assistants are caught are be-
ing. whipped by the whites. It is
reported now that the negroes in that
section are packing up and leaving.

floating ice was first encountered, and
upon arriving at Vicksburg the

over one hundred feet from b e

management she proceeded along
