IectIonabIe Amendment.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan 22-At the
miners convention today the committee
on officers reports reported a concurrence
in President Mitchells recommendation
that the organization endeavor to secure
legislation prohibiting the employment Of
boys in mines under sixteen years old.
An amendment was offered extending 1t
to the employment of boys to lin and
around mines"
President Mitchell vigorously contested
this amendment because of his belief that
the legislation might be deemed too
stringent to the Legislators and declared
unconstitutional.
Vice President Lewis declared he was
in favor of the amendment prohibiting
the employment of children in and about
the mines and said he did not believe any
trouble would arise I'm the attempt to Sc
cure such legislation. The amendment
was defeated by a rising vote and the
committees report was adopted.

The closing scene i'm the life of
Startling Durham, the negro ra-
pist, captured near Vienna, Ala,
Friday, was enacted at Eupora,
near the scene of his crime, Sun
day morning, when he was
hanged to a telephone post in the
presence of the little girl he had
so wrOnged and a large number
Of spectators.
The Iynching, as was verified
by eye-witnesses from this city,
was conducted in the most order
~ manner; no shouting, no disor-
derby disturbances, and to an on
locker the occasion might have
been throughout a legal proceed
ing. Some werein favor of burn

ment prevailed, and only at one
time did so much as a shout dis
turb the quiet of the Sabbath
morn. The following is an au-
thentic account Of the proceed
ingS: Early Sunday morning a
poSse of twenty five Of the cit
liens of Webster county repaired
to Walthall and informed the
sheriff that they had come for
the negro, Startling Durham.
After some effort they made the
sheriff their prisoner, secured
the keys to the jail and brought
out the negro. The march to
Eupora, some nine miles distant,
was quickly made where await

of several thousand citizens of
the town and county Near the
depot had been erected a tel
ephone post and from the arms
was suspended a rope, mutely
speaking of the mode of Justice
that was to be meted ont.
Promptly at 10:45 the negro was
conveyed to the improvised gal
lows where the little girl. ia
whose cause the citizens were
acting, placed the moose around
his neck. Durham was allowed
to speak and this he did in q
quavering voice to his own people,
of whom about two hundred were
present. He declared his limo

Mississippi Cattle.

Three car loads of fancy grade
Jersey cattle were shipped from
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Starkville to the Phil
pine Islands this week.
This is the first shipment Of
blooded cattle from the United
States to the Philippines since the
American acquisition Of those
islands, and it is quite compli-
ment that they should go from
a state which. until, a few years
ago, made very little pretensions
toward cattle raising
Prof. w. C. Welborn, Commits
sioner of Agriculture for the
PHILIPPINES, was formerly direc-
tor Of the Mississippi agricultural
experiment station, and it goes
without saying that he was fully
aware Of what he was doing
when Mississippi cattle were or
dered for the first experiments
in cattle raising in those islands.
The commissioner has outlined a
plan for stocking the islands with
a desirable grade of cattle. and
he desired to obtain animals that
could endure the climate of that
part of the world.

Obituary.

On Tuesday night June Dist.
1904, at Il 80, the sweet spirit Of
Mrs. Frank r. Cooper Of East
Lowndes winged it's flight to the
bright and joyous realms of her
blessed Christ, whom she loved
and trusted. surrounded by her
six bright little children, devoted
husband and sisters. She was
i'll but a few days ere the Sable
Winged Messenger summoned
her to her Fathers home beyond
the skies. Mrs. Cooper was
formerly Miss Mary Easily, eldest
daughter of the late Hon. A. O..
Easley, member of the Board of
Supervisors; and was one of the
most popular ladies Of the Dow
neigborhood. T h r vt b + e
years measured her beautiful
Christian life, so bright, lovely,
full of good deeds kind words,
charitable acts and sacrifices for
others. | am opposed to eXtrav-
agant eulogies of the dead, but
where so richly deserving as this
sweet spirited Christian, no
tongue nor pen has been so en-
dowed with eloquence as to say
too much in praise of her lovely
character and life. Early in life
she became aChristian and united
with Pleasant Hill Baptist church;
and from that time never falter-
ed nor neglected a duty to her
Lord, nor wearied in his service.
So far as we poor mOrtals can
see, with such a bright future.

band and children as were hers,
many of US could have been far
better spared; but God knows
best. He wanted her with Him
to adorn His heavenly home as
she had so well done the earth
beneath. None could be more
missed, but let US take comfort
in the blessed assurance of God
that if we live as she lived we
shall in the sweet bye and bye"
be with her again.
Go! gentle, sweet spirit, to thy
home above, thou were too lovely

At the close Of his speech he was
placed on the back of a large
black horse who, at a word from
the leader, was quickly led from

time occurred the only sem blance
of a riot. When the body of Dun

end of the rope a shout of salts

was quickly quelled. After an
hour the body was cut down and
turned over to the dead man 5

The New Road.

Never before has there been a
time when the prospects for
new railroad for Columbus
seemed more Gattering. Messrs.
John A. Stinson, w. G. Mcclure
and E. 7. Moore have lately re
turned from a trip down the
Tom bigbee river to Warsaw and
Vienna to meet the people Of that
section and talk over the matter
of extending the road to points
to the South of Columbus. These
gentlemen returned much en-
couraged with the prospects
south of here and have fully de-
termined to extend their survey
through that section. The ques-
ton to be determined is whether
to the east or west of the river.
The committee visited a num-
Der of towns on both sides Of the
river and met with a royal recep-
ton at all places visited To the
west they stopped at Cliftonyille,
Densmore's Store, Prairie Point,
Fairfield, Prairie, Dancey and
Warsaw, to the East, Vienna,
Pickensvile and other points.
The reception given them was
extremely satisfactory and the
favor with which the plans for a
road through that country were
heard was vastly encouraging.
Rights of way were freely
granted and money subscribed
amounted to thousands. As
has been stated it is not yet
decided which side of the river
the road will take. if to the West
the terminal will be either of
three points: Shinn, Cookville or
GAINESVILLE; if to the East the ter
minal will be some point on the
Sipsie river.
The committee were more
struck than ever before with the
possibilities of the section that
the road will traverse. Along
the banks of the Tom bigbee. di-
rectly south of Columbus. are
some of the richest timber lands
of the State; further down the
prairies begin, the most fruitful
farming lands in the South with
the exception of the Delta, and
