IS KILLING THE NEGROES.
DR.. 7. ]. Mitchell Comments on In.
crease Of Consumption.

Dr.. T. }. Mitchell, sup~rinten-
dent of of the Mississippi Insane
Hospital, in his report to the leg
islature. says the Clarion-Ledger,
attributes the alarming growth
of tuberculosis among the negro
race to their changed habits of
living since the days of slavery,
insufficient clothing, unsanitary
condition and growth of bad hab-
it's and the vices among the mem
bers of the race.
The report contrasts the health
and sanitary conditionsamongne-
groes during the days of slavery
with those of the present day,
and DR.. Mitchell frankly states
that the negro's physical condi-
tion is much worse amid the en-
vironments of freedom than when
he was slave. They are s1ovenly
in their habits, pay little or no
attention to their clothing, occu-
py unhealthy sleeping quarters,
and eat food that causes rapid de-
terioration of their physiques.
More deaths among the negroes
at the insane hospital are caused
by tuberculosis than all other
forms of diseases combined.

OFFICIOUS MEDDLING.

] Hon. Charles I'll. Firth, State
senator from Amite county, who
halls from Bates Mill, is seeking
to gain little notoriety by intro.
ducing a bill in the Senate to
change the name of Lincoln
county to JEFF Davis county.
| We know very little about Sen.
ator Firth, but if conceiving and
introducing bill of this charac-
ter is a correct index Of the cali
bre and craftsmanship of the
man, his constituents should have
kept him at Bates Mill grinding
corn for his neighbors, instead of
sending him to Jackson to make
laws for the great State of Mis-
sissippi. Mississippians are
proud, doubly-proud of Jefferson
Davis. Perish the thought that
they should ever cease to be 9TH
erwise; but they are likewise ca
pable of honoring and appreciat-
ing the genius and worth of his
great contemporary and oppo-
nent, Lincoln, who, from a lowly
birth and the hardest and most
untoward conditions, by sheer
force of his talents and the in
herent strength of character,
won a deserved place among the
worlds greatest heroes and
statesmen.
For man of Mr.. Frith's cali
bre to be attacking Lincoln and
trying to degrade and dishonor
his memory, in the way proposed,
is like a mouse attacking the
Egyptian Pyramids. AS for JEFF
ferson Davis, he does not need
such an act as this to perpetuate
his memory, and his great soul
would repudiate a distinction
which came in such questionable
form.
Surely the gentleman isn't Sc
rious and doesn't desire to be
taken seriously. The people of
Lincoln county have not sought
his friendly offices in the matter,
nor do they desire any change in
the name of their county. If he
insists on this piece of presump-
tious meddling in his neighbors'
affairs, it is hoped DIR. Van Watts,
Lincoln's representative, will re-
taliate, as he threatens to do, by
introducing and pushing a bill to
change the name of Mr.. Frith's
county from Amite to Booker
Washington or Roosevelt.

Opinion.

Because +. X. Boyd, Treasurer OF

tire list OF voters In that county who
had paid their poll tax. justice OF the
Peace OF that county fined him $500
one day last week. We understand
that the case will be appealed TO Judge
Henson OF the Circuit Court. A number

their vote on account OF the negligence
OF Treasurer Boyd, have applied 70
Judge w. j. Henson, who Is at Taze-
well this week holding court, praying
that the Judge OF Elections be COM
PEELED to place their names on the list
OF registered voters so that they may
vote this fall. The synopsis OF Judge
Henson's opinion, which follows says
that the Court is powerless under The
Constitution to grant the aggreved
citizens any relief:
1.-The Treasurer OF Buchanan county
did not file and swear to a list OF voters
who had paid their poll tax until few
days after time required by the Con-
stitution. Held that II he had failed To
file the list at all he would have been
compelled by mandamus TO file and
swear TO same, and as an officer NAV
always do voluntarily what a mandam-
US would require him to do, the act OF
Treasurer filing list after time pre-
scribed by law Is valid. The list a
valid list and voters therein entitled to
vote. This list left out about SOC
names OF citizens who had paid poll
tax, and after first list was filed. The
Treasurer filed and amended list con-
tanning their names, which amended
list was duly certified and posted.
Held that after first list was filed.
the power OF the Treasurer in regard
thereto Is exhausted. AS TO this mat
ter he was "functus officio.r ANY er-
rors In first list must be corrected by
the Court and not by the Treasurer.
III he could file one amended list he
could file amended lists "ad infinitum.' -
The amended list filed possessed no
validity and did not entitle any one
named therein and not named in the
first list TO vote.
THE proceedings Of voters omitted
from first list to have the list corrected
and their names certified as voters,
not being commenced within thirty
days from the posting OF the first list
