dead beneath Il railroad bridge in New

Cocaine Amone BED Men.

Within the past few months it
has developed that a great num-
Der Of full blood Cherokee Indians
are becoming cocaine fends. "A
little investigation shows THAT
druggists are disposing Of a great
deal Of the drug, but what is more
startling still is that there are a
lot Of persons who have been GO
ing into the country and selling
cocaine to The Indians. 1t is 4
new vice for the Indians, but it Is
wonderful how it is taking hold
on them. Il is said that the drug
is being b0otlegged as it has been
the custom to bring ID liquor.

GOV. VARDAMAN.

The Times Democrat has crit
icised Gov. Vardaman, of Missis.
sippi, on several occasions when
it thought criticism justly lay.
Few public men can hope to pur-
sue career without attimes find
ing friends as well as enemies
who do not view their acts or at
titudes in quite the same light as
they; for infallible wisdom OF
thought and utterance can not
justly be charged of any Of the
men whose names are written in
either the current or older histo-
ry of this country. But we trust
that such criticisms have not been
taken as indicating we were obliv-
ious of the good points in the re.
cord Major Vardaman has made
as Chief Executive of Mississippi
or the good qualities that made
him a marked character in Missis-
sippi politics.
We deem it but just, at this
particular time when the latest
word the press has had for Missis
sippi's Governor has been one OF
criticism, to direct attention to
one thing Gov. Vardaman has
done since assuming the reins
which will and should rebound to
his eternal credit. We refer to
his pronounced stand for the law
and its enforcement throughout
the great State of Mississippi.
There were those, it will be re-
called, who imagined his inaugu-
ration would be the signal for a
loosening of restraint On popular
passions. Everyone knows now
how they were deceived and how
that portion of the Northern
press most bitter in its hostility
to Major Vardaman frankly prais-
ed his for his exhibition of firm
ness and courage, when be put
himself at the head of the militia
and went to save a negro criminal
from the mob. But that one oc-
casion did not exhaust his zeal;
on several other similar ones he
showed the same determination to
uphold the law, and in each case
his efforts we're completely sue
cessful. And the people of Mis-
sissippi will not soon forget the
manly way in which he threw the
influence of his great Office behind
the citizens movement to exter-
inmate white Gaping in certain
southern counties and the crafty
ing result of their joint efforts.
These are things of which he may
we'll be proud, for the Common
wealth which he serves has reaped
inestimable benefit therefrom and
they outweigh a thousandfold the
reploach for all the slips due to
an ultra positive character.
We believe we speak from an
intimate knowledge of Gov. Var
daman's character when we say
the people of our sister State have
entrusted in large measure their
affairs to one who will serve them
conscientiously and is quite capa-
bic of doing it effectively. We
look to see no honorable obliga-
tion to his broad constituency
neglected during his term of

office. He is man Of strong
convictions and has never yet
manifested any hesitation in ex-
pressing them, even when, as we
and many others thought, the oc-
casion was inopportune. But it
can be safely said of him that
neither bis character nor policy is
of that subterranean leaning so
noticeable in the well known type
of the bloodless and self-seeking
politician of our day. N. @.

Prospects of Having = Game by Nigh
In Raleigh.

All ball players and others interest
ed i'm the sport, are requested to meet
at the office of NJ B. Barbee Esq,
corner Davie and Fayetteville streets
at 8 o'clock tonight.
The following, who have signified
their willingness to play are specially
Requested to be present: Barbee,
Brenig, Brockwell. Guiley, Harris,
Buck, Harris, C. PEBBLES, PEBBLES.
The object of this meeting is to
thoroughly organize elect officers for
the season.
In the event cf successful organi-
zation, the Raleigh rooters" will have
an opportunity to see some good ball.
There is plenty of good material in
the city TO put a team in the field
strong enough to cope with any team
in the State, and with a few days
practice of team work, would be ready
TO arrange games with outside cities.
Among several letters already re-
ceived looking for games to be played
in Raleigh, there is one from the
manager of the Cherokee Base Ball
Association. The members of this
team are composed entirely of Indians
from the Western plains. They are
making tour of the asst and have a
novelty in the baseball line. They
carry a complete electric light of 50,-
coo candle power. together with a
canvass enclosure ten feet high and
1000 feet long with a seating capac-
ity of 1000.
This canvas and lights are used for
pail playing at night, and the pros
poets of a baseball game at night is
such as to attract a great crowd to
witness the novel event.
