Industrial Progress of the
State.

The Jackson correspondent 10
the New Orleans Pioayune. in dis
cussing the industrial development
of Mississippi. very truthfully
says that it takes something more
than agriculture to make state
prosperous.
The people of Mississippi are
coming to realization of that
fact. The numerous factories that
have been established in some of
the towns have swelled the popu-
lation, In some Instances, To al
most double and have increased
the volume of business correspon-
dinghy.
The agricultural products Of the
state have grown under the more
intelligent methods of farming.
while the prices have advanced by
a happy combination of circum-
stances. The state would have
become prosperous from this cause
alone, but has become donbly 80
from the industrial awakening of
its people. This spirit of enter.
prise is now but in it's incipiency
and will grow as the success of the
factories already established be-
comes evident.
Pertinent to the industrial wave
that is sweeping over the state,
the Jackson correspondent says:
The good work that is being
put in by the different local boards
of trade and young mems business
associations, backed up by what
the State business organizations,
the railroads are doing, is push
ing Mississippi to the front about
as rapidly as any State in the
South. The charge has often been
made as regards Mississippi that
it was purely an agricultural State.
aud that every article that it used
almost was manufactured away
from home. This charge cannot
be made with truth now. Missis-
sippi is fast filling up with small
and medium sized manufacturing
enterprises. jackson is getting
these days a number of small
factories. A few weeks ago there
was established in this city . spoke
and hub factory, and the AZ
nouncement was made last week

The hypocricy and degeneracy
of the Republican platform and
the nauseating cspers cut by the
Chicago convention in STOPPING
to capture the negro vote were an
alluring bait and did not fail to
catch the dusky sucker, as will be
seen from the following extract
from letter written by q negro,
Henry s. Baker, and prin ted in
the Washington Post:
AT the Republican convention

social equal. The delegates fol-
lowed the example of our beloved
President Theodore Roosevelt.

Let not my colored brethren
forget that scene in the Republi-

white girl was placed upon the
stage and by her eide was placed
a negro boy. They then placed

them to lead the cheering, thus
making the first and grandest ex-

discern the base deceit and hy-
pocrisy of the party that throws
him u gudgeon's bait and commits
itself to nothing other than to use
him as q tool to perpetuste itself
in power. The deception of the
Repu bliean party in leading the
illitsrate and ignorant negroes to
hope for something at its hands
and arraying them politically
against the white people of their
own section has done more to pre-
vent the advancement of the negro
race than all other causes COM
bined. Still that gnlled and m is-
guided race is loyal to its deceivers
and will continue 90 ss long as
the hypocritioal party makes pro-
misses, whether it ever performs
them or not. The Democratic
party has dealt frankly with the
negro and is his best friend.
It will protect him in all of his
rights and confer upon him all the
privileges and benefits of citizen
ship that he is entitled to, but will
never prostitute itself to deception

SUMNER :
RHEUMATISM

The idea that Rheumatism is strictly
. winter disease, that comes from exposure
or cold, is wrong; spell of indigestion,
torpldity OF the liver, inactive state of the
Kidneys, or sudden cooling of the body when
over-heated, being frequent causes of an
attack. Rheumatism is due TO an over-acid
condition of the blood and bad circulation.

APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
Mechanics to Present Plea for satur-
day Halt Holiday.


delegation Of mechanics. representing
Columbia Lodge. No. 174 International AS
ISOLATION Of Machinists. will call at the
White House this week to present to Presi-
dent Roosevelt their claim to a half holi-
day with pay on Saturdays. There Is fric-
ton between the machinists and the navy
yard authorities as to the meaning of the
executive order which allows a half holi-
day to government employees on Saturdays.
1t Is said that about one hundred of the
machinists took half holiday last Friday
and Saturday. This action was understood
by them at the time to be in conflict with
the ruling of the superintendent Of the
yard. 1t is stated, however, that the men
were at liberty to take the half holiday.
put that In taking it they would lose half
day by the machinists on Friday was to
make up for the half day they thought
themselves entitled to on the preceding
Saturday. They understood that the con-
troller OF the treasury had suspended their
half holiday on Saturday, which they con-
tended had been granted by the Presidents
order. The question will be considered at
meeting of Columbia Ldge tomorrow even
ing.
1t is asserted by Captain Pendleton. su-
perintendent of the navy yard that the law
gives the men half holiday on Saturday,
but he asserts that he has not been author
lied to pay them for the time thus lost.
he does not consider that he would have
the right to pay them for the half day
until the authorities of the Navy Depart
ment specifically authorize him to do so.
In the meantime he comedies that the men
have right to the half holiday, but with
out pay, and those who cannot be spared
on saturday are entitled to take the time
on other days Those who remain at their
work Captain Pendleton holds, are entitled
to full pay.

RIVER VIEW ATTRACTION.
Human Torch Slides Down Long Wire
to Blazing Lake.

Over 200 persons journeyed to the River
View excursion resort Sunday morning last
to witness the performance of a new act
by Mons. Drukker. who converts himself
into human torch, and, hanging by his
feet from a trapeze bar, slides TO feet
down an inclined wire in a blaze, and final
ly drops head. first into the lake at the end
of the chute. The act is a startling one
and is as dangerous as 1t looks. The per-
Torrance was scheduled to take place at
$50 pm, and it was little after that
hour when Drukker and his attendants went
to the top of the chute. The electric lights
about the chute were extinguished, and at
signal the blazing body was seen coming
down the steep incline. The flames were
roaring around him, shooting fire above
him, and the rapid revolutions of the slide
left stream of fire yards behind him.
Meanwhile the surface of the chute lake
had been converted into a big mass of fire
from Oil scattered on the surface of the
water and ignited. and when the end of
the wire was reached the man. plunged
head first into the lake. AS he climbed out
the lake the throng gathered around him
and he was loudly cheered.
There is no make believe about the per-
Torrance, for the flames that surround the
man as he slides down the wire over the
chute are as hot and burning as Oil or gas
oline can make them. The daring man &C
tually SaturateS the suit of cotton batting
coal Oil. and this is touched off just as he
starts on his journey down the wire. The
feat Is a difficult and dangerous one-So
dangerous that it has never been tried be-
fore until Mons. Drukker evolved the idea
while at River View few days ago. He
approached Capt Randall and laid his
plans before him, and asked for the use of
the chute to work 1t out. Several days last
week, of mornings, before the excursionists
arrived and after they left at night, he
worked on the act, and has perfected 1t
so that he will offer it to the public again
tomorrow night at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Drukker was seen in his dressing
room after the performance by Star
reporter and in response to query stated
that while the act was most dangerous
one he had confidence in his ability and
that of his assistants to escape dangerous
harm. When he first tried the act last
week before appearing in public, his back
was badly scorched by the fire burning
through his suit, but he had to take those
chances.
The act will be repeated at River View
tomorrow night and again Saturday night,
and will be free to the patrons of the re-
sort.
