Think, read, talk and write politics,
but in all things political acti in moder-
alton. Don't yet excited. We are a
big, happy family working for the
ultimate good of all. II a man tells
you Hearst or Parker will get the
votes of Mississippi. don't reach for
his wig, but tell him that Okolona is a
better man than both of them. If a
Republican insists that Roosevelt is
the disqualification Of all that is lovely,
virtuous and honest don't intimate to
him that he is rendering an unhealthy
initiation to the truth, but tell him in
your sweetest accents that ChickasaW
county can raise more cotton and corr
to the acre aud more babies to the
family than any county in the UniteC
States.

HEoRoDs WHO OWNED SLAVES.

"'Aunt' Nancy Austin, n of the
oldest negroes In Mississippi, died at
her home on Pascagoula street in
Jackson the other day, and there was
a large outpouring of the colored pop
ulation OF the com munity to attend her
funeral"
"This old negress, who had passed
the four- score mark in life by several
years, enjoyed the distinction OF being
the only negro STAKEHOLDER in Missis-
sippi in the days before the war, and
the story of her life is of a highly en-
pertaining nature. In the days long
before the wal she was a serving maid
in an ~aristocratic family that BIAS since
passed out Of existence, and so well
and f. vorsbly did she serve her mis-
tress that she was frequently given
generous tips which che carefully saw
ed and afterwards purchased her free
dom. Not content with mere freedom
she accumulated money with almost
marvellous rapidly and within a few
years became the owner Of several
slaves. About this time free negroes
becoming quite common in Mississippi,
a law was passed by the Legislature

My little Mary comes to me
And softly climbs on Mothers knee
I'll know her wish full soon;
So with an artful little sigh
She asks when supper will be nigh,
This long, long afternoon.
Don't keep the little ones hungry. Good
bread, butter and sugar will shorten and
sweeten the longest afternoon.
Puritan Bread is sold at the Taggart

BALL PLAYERS PRACTICED
WITH DRAY HORSE,
Hot ImprOmptu Exhibition Given in
Front of Pulaski House.

The New York baseball team put in
few minutes of hot practice work
with rather bedraggled looking dray
horse late yesterday afternoon that
showed they are not slow even at a
new game. To the onlookers it was
better than the real American game,
though of short duration.
With an old horse whose legs closely
resembled a spiral stairway, a dray-
man drove UP in front of the Pulaski,
where all the players were lined up
just before supper The negro took the
trunk into the hotel and then the game
started. 1t began by Manager McGraw
innocently unhitching one of the traces.
In a few minutes others were at
work. Suggestions were freely given
as to what should be done, but the one
that met with unanimous acceptance
was that the horse should be turned
around and hitched up again."
In less time than it takes for a hot
grounder to get to short-stop, the horse
was led out of the traces. Turning him
was not so easy for the old fellow
moved with difficulty and elaboration,
but with the whole team around him
1t was soon accomplished. Before the
deliberate beast could be led back to
the wagon, ready hands had pulled the
wagon up to him. Into the shafts he
was put, head towards the wagon, and
the harness refastened.
1t all took place in less than two min
utes, and then the players took their
places along the sidewalk, and gazeo
nonchalantly at the Greene monument,
the Germania building or the fading
twilight, until the darby reappeared
from the hotel.
The negro stopped short, while an ex-
preston of wonder spread over his
ebony countenance. He looked at the
horse for a while and then he looked
at the men, all apparently oblivious to
the fact that there was anything I'M
usual in the horses position.
Dat horse didn't do dat by himself
gentlemans," said the negro. Il knows
he didn't" Ee
And the negro grinned good-natur-
edly as he began to again unhitch the
now bewHdered beast.

AGAINST B0NDSMEN OF
FORMER ADMINISTRATORS.
Interesting Case begins To-day Be-
fore Judge Norwood.

fore Judge NORWOOD.
Before Judge Norwood in the City
Court to-day the case against the
bondsmen of former county admins
traitor w. c. Fripp will begin. The
case is an interesting one owing to the
legal points involved, and also because
it will be hard fought. 1t will probably
be carried into the Supreme Court.
Six bondsmen are involved. Fripp
was convicted of illegally appropriating
money belonging to estates of which he
was administrator The bondsmen
changed often, only one, Nathaniel
Harrison, remaining on the bond from
the first
On March 80, 1901. Fripp's bond was
signed by Messrs. James M. Dixon and
Nathaniel Harrison. On Aug. 5, 1901,
Mr.. Dixon came off the bond and his
place was taken by Mr.. Jacob Collins.
On October 81 of the same year Mr..
Collins withdrew and Mr.. c. E. G.. Fell
went on. Mr.. Fell served until Dec. 4,
1901, when he withdrew. Mr.. p. l..
Bailey taking his place. He remained
on the bond with Mr.. Harrison, until
Fripp was placed on trial.
During the time that Fripp acted as
county administrator money from
about ten small estates was appropri-
ated by him for his own use The suit
to be begun to-day is to determine
whether Mr. Harrison alone is liable,
or whether each of the other bondsmen
is co-liable for the Interpretations
made during the time that he was on
the administrator bond.
The suit is brought by the Ordinary
for the estates whose money was turn
ed into other channels.

REV. DR.. SOLOMON
TO DELIVER ADDRESS
At the Annual Meeting of the Union
Society April IS.

At the Annual Meeting of the Union
Society April IS.
A meeting of the board of managers
of the Union Society was held in the
Office of the president, Col. ]. H. Estill,
yesterday at noon. Ten new members
were elected.
Rev. DR.. George Solomon, pastor of
the Temple Mickva Israel, was invited
to deliver the annual address to the So
ciety and, it is understood that he will
accept the invitation.
Owing to the fact that a part of the
property of the society has not been
rented for some time past the president
was authorized to borrow $4,000 to meet
the deficit in the income that this con-
dition has brought about.
President Estill requested the va
rious committees of the society to pre-
pare their annual reports and further
urged upon all those at the meeting the
pecessity of getting new members Tor
the organization. He stated that a
number of new people have recently
come to the city and that a number of
the native youths have recently reach
ed mans estate and should take an in
terest in the institution and assist in
its support. 1t is charity that should
appeal to everyone and it's dues are
very small, amounting to but S. a year.
The annual meeting of the Union So
ciety, which will be it's one hundred
and fifty-fourth. will be held April 2S,
at which time will be observed the one
hundred and sixty-fourth anniversary
of the Bethesda Orphan House. that in
stitution having antedated the forma-
tion of the society by ten years. The
meeting will be held at Bethesda, as
usual.
The board of stewards will prepare
the customary dinner and programme
of amusements for the boys and an en-
tertainment for the visitors. AT this
time, too, the elective officers of the
society will be selected. These consist
of the president, vice president, secre-
tary and treasurer.

FOYE & ECKSTEIN'S
SPRING OPENING,
Well Displayed and Well Selected
stock of Beautiful Spring Goods.

A Well Displayed and Well Selected
Stock of Beautiful Spring Goods.
From the solid stream of people fill
ing into Foye & Eckstein's yesterday
it looked as if everybody in Savannah
wished to see this stores special line
of millinery and spring dress finery.
The store hummed with people from
early in the morning until late in the
evening.
The point of attraction was the mill
linery department. Here Mrs. Golden
had gathered together the incest and
prettiest and newest things to be had
in millinery. She has 1000 pattern
hats and bonnets brought from Paris
especially for this opening. Together
with these hats, which are attracting
a world of attention by Savannahians
who love beautiful millinery, is an
equal number of models from Americas
celebrated milliners.
In this gorgeous array are hats of
the swell dressy sort, hats of sedate
effects, and hats with the stamp of
extreme refinement. There was a hat
to crafty each taste, let it be ever
SO varied, each fancy, each whim. But
it was not the millinery alone that
proved the magnet of attraction. The
ready-made goods found many admir-
ers, and it was not an individual arti-
Gle such as a suit, a skirt or waist,
but the entire assembly bespoke dis
eliminating taste in the selection of
every garment. In the furniture and
carpet section, on the third and fourth
floors, and the annex in Odd Fellows
Hall, is as handsome stock of house
furnishings as one would wish to see.
On the main floor the dry goods store
was in holiday attire, stacks of silks,
fine dress goods, white goods and trim
mings, bore evidence of the large
trade this house is doing. Some very
rich and handsome robes in crepe de
chine, chiffon and voile created admir-
ing comment. The trimming, hosiery
and ribbons formed a brilliant spec
tacle. To describe any part of this
pretty store, or all of it, would take
up a great deal of space. A special
effort has been made to show in at
tractive display whatever is stylish
and worn this season, and the firm
is being congratulated upon its sue
cess in it's 1904 spring opening.
