.kING PETER MAY ABDICATE.
The Ghosts Of King Alexander and
Queen Draga Won't Down.
The Regicides Must BE Punished
But Peter, Who T'rolited by the
Crime, Not the Instrument.

Vienna, Jan. 20.-King Peter of Ser
via, according to report from Get
TIME, Montenegro, published by the
Neues Weiner Journal, Is prepared to
voluntarily renounce the throne and al
low the powers to nominate his success
sor.
The prince of Montenegro is said to
to clear up the precarious situation In
Servia, and King Peter is alleged to
have recognized the untenability of his
position and to be willing to abdicate.
His successor, it is added, will only be
permitted to ascend the throne condi-
tional on his agreeing to punish the
leaders of the conspiracy which result
ed in the assassination of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga, removing all
those who were directly or indirectly
concerned in the regicides.
The statement published by the
Neues Weiner Journal is not confirmed,
but all reports indicate that affairs in
Servia are steadily growing worse, and
that they are causing the greatest anx-
iety in Russia and Austria. The Servian
conspirators are said to be openly
threatening to take revenge on Europe
by joining in the expected Mace
donian outbreak in the spring. The in
ternal condition of Servia is alarming.

Arranging for Shipments.

The Longbeach Radish Growers
Association met last week to confer
with NJ. 0. Coggins, of Pittsburg,
and Frank NJ. Barber, of Chicago,
commission dealers. Mr.. Coggins
and Mr.. Barber addressed the meet
ing, and said there was no reason
why Longbeach should not become
the largest shipping point in the
South. W. j. Quarles, president Of
the association, made an encourage
ing talk. He believes the garden
ers there are on the road to success
and urged greater acreage of rad
ishes. lettuce, onions, beets, beans
and cucumbers. II the members
come up to expectations there will go
out Of Longbeach each day during
the shipping season a carload of pro-
duce. beginning now in a few days
with radishes, and later with cucum-
bers, beans. bcets and ouions as fill
ers. The question Of barrels was
considered, and this year it is going
to be problem where to get barrels
enough to contain the produce from
that section, for there are as many
growers Of truck outside the associa-
ton as there are in.

Missjssippi and Georgia.

Much interest is manifested IN
Mississippi over the announcement
that the State of Georgia is to re-
produce ''l.ibcrty Hall" the ances-
trail home Of Alexander ii. Ste
phens, at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in St. Louis, and that
the building will occupy a position
alongside the Mississippi reproduce
ticn Of ''Beauvoir, at the big ex-
position. Nothing could be more
fitting than the selection made by
Georgia for her State building.
"Beauvoir' was the last home of
Jefferson Davis, president Of the
Confederacy, and Liberty Hail. at
Charlottesville. Ga, Wa; the home OF
many generations Of the family of
the vice-prcsidcnt of the Confcder-
acv. The two buildings are of the
we'll known antcbellum style Of ar
chitccturc and are sure to attract
much attention. The Georgia COM
mission was largely influenced in
making its selection by The action OF
the Mississippi commission.

Another Whitecap Murder.

Another murder by whitecaps is
reported from Lincoln county,
where negro named Jesse Bagents
was ambushcd and shot to death by
unknown parties last week. The
killing occurred on the Monticello
road, about four miles from Brook
haven, and younger brother of the
murdered negro was with him at the
time, but escaped unhurt. The ma
ture Of the legislation to be enacted
at the present session for the sup
preston of the vhitecappcr bands
has not vet been decided upon, and
among those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions prevailing
in Lincoln, Franklin and Amite It
is believed that legislation will be
of little use unless it is backed by a
strong and vigorous public senti-
ment that all the laws in christen-
dom cannot suppress the whitecap-
pers so long as those who ARE
charged with the enforcement of the
law are in secret sympathy with the
1awless bands. Undeniable proof
has been given that many of the
members of the law and order
leagues recently organized are also

Practically an Acquittal.
At its sitting in the city of ia

At its sitting in the city of Jack
son last week the Supreme Court
reversed the celebrated j. j. Harper
murder case, appealed from the Cir
cult Court of Perry county, where
it was carried on a change of venue
from Jones county. The opinion Of
the court was an able and compre-
hcnsive document, read by Associate
Justice jeff Truly, and was received
with close interest by the large as
sembly Of lawyers in the court room,
on account Of the important legal
points involved and the celebrity at
tanned by the case during the men,
orabie trial at Hattiesburg, lasting
eight days. Harper is a physician,
who was convicted and given a life
sentence for being an accomplice in
the killing Of saw mill laborcr
named William b. Lawrence. at a
lumber camp in Jones county about
two years ago. The shooting was
done by foreman named X. Il. Nc
Cormick. who, according to the tes-
timony Of a woman who was the only
eve witness, was seen to fire two shots
at Lawrence while he was either fall
ing or trying to rise from the
ground. DIR. Harper had previously
gone to Mccormick, at the instance
of several women living in the saw
mill shacks, and complained that
Lawrence had been slipping into
their houses and stealing various ar
ticleS. The action Of the Supreme
Court in reversing the case amounts
practically to Harper's acquittal, in
the opinion of the legal fraternity
closely acquainted with the details
of the case.
Annual Migration Begins.
Several weeks in advance of other
preparations for the new crop year,
the negro tenant labor in Mississippi
has begun its annual migration, and
the railroad trains are filled with ne
gro families going to their new loca-
tions for the year. Political econo-
mists and sociologists have never
been able to explain why negroes
move in prosperous times as we'll as
in hard times. 1t is an enigma as
mysterious as the creation of the
universe, and in this State has come
to be an accepted condition for
which no excuse or reason is needed.
\ gratifying fact of the migratory
season of the negro, however, is that
many are coming to this State from
Alabama and Georgia, several car
loads having already passed through
from the latter State ell route to
points in the delta. In truth, the
delta seems to be getting the bcs,
class of the labor, and the annual
recurrence Of the movement from
the hill counties to the more fertile
swamps is being experienced. An
other satisfactory feature of the ne.
gro-moving period is the large mum
ber who are quitting the towns ant
! going to the country and making
contracts for the coming year. Th,
labor agents are convincing the ne
gro that cotton will continue at {
high price, and that one year of la
Dor in the fields will make them 81
rich that Rockefeller and Hctt,
Green will look like street bcggarS il
