Jackson, Miss, Aug. 19.-Negro la

with the purpose of boycotting the
whites and throwing all their business

the result of the passage Of the Jim

boycotted the cars, and no negroes are
patrons of them.
A negro bank and negro undertake

Potatoes have brought very high
prices the past two seasons-from 81
to 81. so per bushel. Thisis too much
for the tuber, and instead Of being
as it should be, staple food product
for every family, it becomes a lux
ury. Fifty cents is goodl price,
enough to give the grower q nice
profit and still be within the reach
of the poor man.

Dysentery is prevalent everywhere
in summer and is due to miasmatic
poisons, and begins abruptly with
inflammation of the mucous lining
of the large bowel. In America the
disease is common, but properly
treated does not result as seriously
as in the tropics. Perry Davis
Painkiller is the best known remedy
and the most efficacious in lthe
reatment of dysentery.

at which cOnvicts will be employed to
four - printing, furniture making,
brick making and clothing. Represent
atives Of every organized trade in Chi

position. The above news was brought
here on junks, one of which, having
on board three Russians concealed in
the baggage of Chinese to escape from
the Japanese, left Port Arthur
Wednesday night and was blown rap
idly to Chefoo by gale. The main
force Of the attack was directed
against the left wing and resulted in

Japs Capture Two Forts.
At Palun-Chang the Japanese hasti-
~ mounted guns which did excellent
service in aiding the storming of the
right wing, where the japanese are
said to have captured two forts of
minor value, mounting eight 4-inch
guns, two siege guns and six quick-fr-
