Under it Margarets somewhat angu-
lar figure grew into graciousness of
womanhood seldom seen. Then she
met Paul Gerhardt, and life blossomed
for her with resplendence of JOY
which at times held her dumb.
She stood one evening by the bed in
private room looking down upon the
woman who lay there. The patient
had just been brought from the operat-
ing room and given into Margarets
care.
On the Whiteness of the pillow the
fair, damp strands of hair showed
strangely familiar in spite of the
wasted features beneath. Margaret
waited with locked hands for the
heavy eyelids to lift themselves. Then
she looked up suddenly and saw Darrell
in the doorway, and knew.
His anxiety for his wife, if such it
could be called was swallowed mp in
his amazement at Margaret That the
former was perfunctory the nurse saw

And in the eyes Of Eleanor Darrcl--
when the effect of the ether had passed
there burned fearful cagerncss.
Even the surprise of finding herself in
the care of the woman she believed
she had wronged was immersed in it..
Margaret saw that what little
strength her patient had was diSSi-
pated in the effort to drag one word of
real concern from her husband, and
followed Darrell from the room.
Darrel's eyes narrowed to pin points
as he watched her. Suddenly he
caught a fold of her apron. crushing
its fine whiteness in his hand.

Arranging for Shipments.

The Longbcach Radit Growers
Association met last week TO confer
with NJ. O.. Coggins, of P%ittsburg,
and Frank VI. Barber, Of Chicago,
commission dealers. Mr.. Coggins
and Mr.. Baroe addressed the meet
ing, and said there was no reason
why Longbearll should not become
the largest shipping point in the
South. W. j. Quarles, president of
the association. made an encourag-
ing talk. lie believes the garden
ers there are on the road TO success
and urged a 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 oil pro-
duce, beginning ncH in a few days
with radishes, and later with cucum-
bers, beans, beets and onions as fill
ers. The question Oh barrels was
considered, and this year it is going
to be a problem where to get barrels
enough to contain the produce from
that section. for there are as many
growers OF truck outside the %assocla-
ton as there are in.

Another Whitecap Murder.

Another murder by %whitecaps is
reported from Lincoln county,
where a negro named jesse BagentS
was ainbushed and shot TO death by
unknown parties last week. The
killing occurred ON the Monticello
road, about four miles from Brook
haven, and a 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 wiretapper bands
has not yet been decided upon, and
among those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions prevailing
in Lincoln, Franklin and Amitc 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 whltecap-
pers so long as those who are
charged with the enforcement of the
law are in secret sympathy with the
lawless bands. Undeniable proof
has been given that many of the
members of the law and order
leagues recently organized are also
members of the wiretapper organ
ization, and by this policy of double
dealing have Handicapped the efforts
TO suppress the whitecap o%rganiza-
tons.

Mississippi and Georgia.

Much interest is manifested in
Mississippi over the announcement
that the State of Georgia is to re-
produce Liberty Hail. the ances-
trail home of Alexander ii. Ste
phcns, at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in ST. Louis, and that
the building will occupy a position
alongside the Mississippi reproduce
ton 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, was the home Of
many generations of the family OF
the vice-prcsidcnt of the Confeder-
acy. The two buildings are Of the
well known antcbellum style Of ar
chitecture 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.

DIR. MiiIfn Swcarr.

Yorktown, Ark. Jan. ,8th.-Last week
a statement was published from Leland

effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best medicine for all kiuncy Diseases and
that he uses them with uniform success
in his daily practice.
No one who knows DIR. williamson viii

personal acquaintance with this celebrated
physician, DR.. Williamson has appeared
before Mr.. II. +. Greene, j. T.. for Mont.

mcnt.
In this sworn statement the doctor has

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 socioIogists have never
been able to explain why negroes
move III 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.
A 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 en- route TO
points IN the delta. In truth, the
delta seems to be getting the best
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-moying period is the large num-
Der who are quitting the towns and
going TO the country and making
contracts for the coming year. The
labor agents are convincing the ne
gro that cotton will continue at a
high price, and that one year of la
Dor in the fields will make them so
rich that Rockefeller and Hetty
Green will look like street beggars in
comparison.

Mississippi State News
Practically an Ac%oujttal.

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-
hensiye 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,
orable trial at IIattiesburg, lasting
eight days. Harper is a physician,
who was convicted and given a life
sentence for being an accomplicc in
the killing of a saw mill laborer
named William B. Lawrence, at a
lumber camp in Jones county about
Two years ago. The shooting was
done by a foreman named II. I. Me
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. DR.. Harper had preyiousI%
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
ticlcs. The action of the Supreme
Court in reversing the case amounts
practically to Harpcrs %acquittal, in
the opinion of the legal fraternity
closely acquainted with the details
of the case.
