CAPITAL CITY FANS

$500 Subscribed for JaCksOn'S
Penndnt ChaSerS.

Jackson, Miss, April5. The directors
Of the Jackson baseball association held
an interesting meeting last night, get.
ting things in readiness for the opening
Of the season. Mr., John A. Wise was
employed as the manager Of the Jack
son team at a stated salary.
About fifteen hundred dollars have
been subscribed to the capital stock OF
the association, while the required
amount is only two thousand. There
will be little trouble in raising the bal
ance of the money, and it is expected
that the committee appointed for that
purpose will have the funds in hand
within the next few days.
Mr.. Wise arrived in the city this af-
tcrnoon and the work of shaping the
grounds will begin at once. 1t is en-
pccted that the team will report for
practice about the 18th inst, and the
outlook for baseball is br ght.

BLANKET POLICIES
ARE NOW ISSUED
No More Specific Cotton insurance
In This State.

Business men, merchants and cotton
factors of Mississippi, while not en-
tirely pleased with the new insurance
law enacted by the recent legislative
session, believing that the amendment
to the anti-compact law should have
been passed, allowing the i%nturancc
companies to maintain rate-making or
CARNATIONS in the State, at the same
time are much gratihed over the fact
that tho valued policy clause was re-
pealed on certain personal property.
The insurance companies doing bust
ness in this city have just announced
that they will write the blanket form of
policy on cotton risks, abandoning the
old and tedious form of insuring cotton
by marks and numbers. The compress
companies are particularly pleased with
the relief thus afforded, and it will be
an important factor to them during the
next cotton season.

ARCHITECT HUNT HERE.
Says Greenwood is Growing Faster Than
Any Other City in State.

Architect r. II. Hunt, of Chattanooga,
arrived in the city Wednesday night
and remained over until yesterday, con-
fcrring with a number Of parties who
expect to erect new buildings in Green
wood during the next few months.
Mr.. Hunt has drawn the plans for n
number of the best buildings in the
city and is recognized as one Of the
leading architects in the South. In
conversation with a member of THE
COMMONWEALTH staff he expressed the
opinion that Greenwood is growing
more rapidly than any other city in the
State.
Mr.. Hunt says that he has during the
past few months drawn plans for build
ings here that will aggregate a total
cost of more than 100000, and that he
has now on hand contracts for plans
and specifications that will run the ag-
grcgate far above these figures.
1t is understood that he will draw
the plans for the new bank building and
the new store for Henderson & Baird.

"A Ragged Hero"

The average observer Of things the
atrical might draw the rronous conclu-
sion that the art of the playwright and
and mechanic has reached its zenith in
the many realistic productions which
united brains and capital have sent on
tour during the last few years; but the
enc Of stage realism was not accom-
plished until Maurice Fleming, in his
play "a Ragged Hero. which will be OH
view at the Greenwood Opera House Sat.
April 9th. succccdedin attaining a series
af startling effects hitherto undreamed
of by the most ambitious dramatists.
One of the principal "thrillcrs" duly
protected by the author) is the climax
Of Act II. A little girl is imprisoned by
flames in the upper story OF a blazing
house. AS she is about to be engulfed
by the deyouring element, the heroic
tramp appears on the scene "just in
time" In the absensc Of a ladder he
ties q ehild's swing suspended from a
tree in the dooryard, and s%pringing into
it, sets it swaying until the end Of its
arc attains the level Of the window:
then the child leaps into his outstrctch-
arms as the house falls in fiery ruins.
Another stirring scene occurs In the
third act when the heroine, bearing o
retrieve for her lover (who is about to
mount the scaffold) coasts down an icy
hill to the prison, crossing the railroad
as the fast express thunders by and cs-
capes death by the narrowest margin.

CRIME INCREASING
AMONG THE NEGROES
Special Court Term Is Called in Sun.
flower County.

Sunflower county asks for a special
term of circuit court in order that her
Jail population may be depleted. There
are now twelve prisoners on hand, one
charged with murder, one robbery, one
one horse thief, one false ~pretender, and
eight for attempt to murder. Under
the recent redistribution of the State Sun
flower gets no term Of court till next
September, and it is costing the county
500 per month to take care of these
prisoners. For that reason there is a
demand that those who are to swing
into eternity shall be attended to, and
those who are to assist the State in
making n crop Of cotton on the big farm
in that same county, shall he put to
work as soon as possible. The COVER
nor has been appealed to for an extra
term. The other iails are either full
now or they will he pretty soon after
the Wells vagrancy law becomes opera
tive On the 2Sth Of this month. Ten
days ago there was not Il prisoner in
the Jail at Yazoo City. Now there are
fourteen, all negroes. Four of them are
charged with murder, three Illicit re-
failing, and the. others with assault to
kill. In every instance the victims
were negroes. Bad whisky and cocaine
are charged with the responsibility for
this condition of affairs, and doubtless
that is right. The negroes of the State
find it harder matter to secure whisky
than they do cocaine or dope" as they
call it, and the consequence is that
thousands of them are being wrecked
physically every day, The drug stores
and others know that it is against the
law to sell the drug, but a great many
Of them do so regardless of the conse-
qucnces.

LaWleSSneSS on River Queen

1t is reported that measures will be
taken to put a stop to the lawlessness
on the River Queen and other boats
which carry negro excursions down
the river. On several occasions late
ly these excursions have been partly
made up of very tough material, and
the crowd has INDUCED not only in
drunkenness and rioting on board,
but in various undesirable perform
ances on reaching home. If this sort
Of thing can be stopped, it should be.
The respectable colored people in
Washington viii have reason to be
grateful TO the Police Department if
it keeps order on the river boats. Ex-
cursions on these boats should be for
the benefit Of people who can behave
themselves, not for those who make
the outing an excuse for rowdy &C
tions. For some years past such con-
duct has been so common on these
boats that the respectable element
among the negroes has simply given
up such excursions, unless sure Of be-
ing guarded against the intrusion of
toughs.
One of the serious defects in the
treatment Of colored people in cities
which have a large colored popula-
ton is that nothing is done TO keep
the vicious and unruly element in or
der until some of their actions become
annoying to white people So long as
they only make life unpleasant for
those Of their own race, very little
notice is taken of them by the gov
erning power. They know this we'll
enough to take advantage Of It, If
care had been taken to preserve or
der on river boats patronized exclu-
sively by negro crowds, ever since
such boats existed. the police would
have been saved some trouble, and a
general condition of lawlessness and
disorder might have been prevented.
The Washington times., 1904-07-14
Dom Paul Kruger.

Paul Kruger made the one great
mistake of his career as President of
the Transvaal Republic when he per-
mitted-more than permitted, prac-
tically forced his country into a war
with Great Britain. The majority of
the burghers in both the Transvaal
and the Free State were against it.
but the overconfidence of Kruger and
the ambition of Steyn to become the
President of both the Transvaal and
the Free State after Kruger's death
unbalanced the discretion of the
humber folk.
When war actually was determined
upon, the call to arms found every
burgher of one mind, and their unity
and effectiveness as fighting men so
far justified Kruger's confidence as to
make the issue for a time exceedingly
doubtful. Except that her persistency
was equal TO that of the African
Dutchmen and her resources far su-
perior, mighty Great Britain would
never have won that fight.
His browning political blunder cost
Paul Kruger both country and fam
lily, and left him one of the most
pathetic figures of modern times-a
wanderer on the face of the earth,
ambition crushed and heart broken.
His death in Geneva merely ratified a
living death which began when Eng
lands triumph in South Africa and
his own exile became established
facts.
Although a man of no culture,
Of no education, and of no experience
with the world outside of his own
faraway land, Paul Kruger must be
written down as one of the leading
statesmen of modern times Patriotic,
shrewd, and farsighted where foreign
Entertainments in the Transvaal were
concerned, he remained consistently
great until the world recognized his
greatness and communicated to the
Lion of South Africa" the astound-
ing fact
How far outside adulation served
tC rob Paul Kruger of his natural
perspicacity would be difficult to de-
termine. but it is not unlikely that
had not seductive fiattery attacked
him from all sides in his old age, the
Transvaal would still be a free coun-
try.

The Beginning of Unity.

It is reported that Judge Parker in
tends to bend his energies toward
uniting the Eastern and Southern
Democrats, disregarding the West,
which he probably regards as still in
the clutch of Bryan. If this is really
his intention. it proves that his head
is long and broad.
The Eastern and Southern Democ-
racy are natural and historic allies.
Before the war New York and the
South voted together, and it will be
remembered that the pro-slavery
demonstrations and the draft riots
took place in New York.
The influence of the Southern De-
mocracy grows stronger with every
Southern man who does successful
business in the North and West, and
the number of these is legion. With
the South in the saddle, the disunion
which has been the great obstacle in
the way of the party for ten or fif-
teen years will be removed, for the
man TO whom politics is a religion
makes a forceful leader, and the
Southern Democrat is that man.
Nineteen hundred and eight or nine
teen hundred and twelve will find the
two parties tending to a campaign
conducted on the old sectional lines,
and it looks as if Judge Parker saw it.
