New cases, %; total to date, 1923.
Deaths, 3 total to date, 391.
New foci, 4 cases under treatment,
227; discharged, 2405.
The Sunday report would have been
the lowest one on record except for
the report of a nest of infection in an.
other convent and asylum, totaling six
cases, among the girls in the Mount
Carmel institute asylum in Piety
street.. There have been several
cases in the Mount Carmel convent in
st, Cloude street, and as these two
institutions are closely allied it is
very likely that the infection was
transmitted from one TO the other. An.
other case is reported at the French
asylum In Canal street.
Among the deaths was Sister Mary
Edith of the convent of Perpetual
Alteration.
The total number of cases under
treatment in the city is only 227
which is the best evidence of the fight
against the epidemic

sion of the Industrial Institute
Il College opened last WcdueS
day, and Notwithstanding the
fact that many young ladies 'iv-
ing in the Southern poruau nf
the State were prevented from
being present ON account eff tle
quarantine. the attendance wa-
very large. More than SIS bun
dred students have already a
circulated, and the uumbor
daily increasing, as nearly every
incoming train brings from un.
to a dozen young ladies who
come here for the purpose Or at
tending this great institution. oI
which every true and loyal Mis-
sissippian is justly proud.
La former years it has been
customary to have some formal
ceremony mark the opening Dt
the college, but on account Of the
late opening the ceremony was
abandoned, and only simple and
informal exercises were held
Wednesday morning. On ac-
count of illness President Kin

and the exercises. which. took
place in the college chapel were
conducted by Prof. J. w. BEL

1t is gratifying 10 the officers

OFFICER SHOT NEGRO
In Order to Protect His Life
Constable Abe Lofts
Kills Ollie Moore.

In OrQef TO DfODt CT MS own lie
Constable Abe Lofts was com
PEELED to kill negro named Ollie
Moore last Friday night. The
Moore negro, who had several
aliases, had been obtaining mon
ey from Messrs. Forrest & Co.,
who cond uct loan agency IN the
Masonic Tenn pie. on a claim that
he was a man of family and pos
SeSSed household furniture OF
considerable value Mr.. j l..
Ward. who manages h loan
agency, discovered that Moore
was possessed of neither amily
nor household belongings of any
character. He then went before
Justice of the Peace H. d. Foote
and made out an aft fidavlt against
the negro charging him with ob-
tanning money under false pre-
lenses.
A warrant for the arrest of the
negro was placed in the hands of
Constable Abe Lofts, and it
was while serving this warrant
that he was forced to kill his
man. The Constable together
with his son, Mr.. Perry Lofts,
and Mr. Tom Haines went to the
house OF the negro near the
Southern Railway coal chute
about midnight Friday night. and
found their man at home. He
first denied that his name was
Ollie Moore, and when told by
the constable that he would have
to submit to arrest and go to jail,
he picked up a hammer which
lay nearby and started toward
Mr.. LOFTS. In order to protect
himself the constable drew his
revolver and fired. AS soon as
the officer tired Moore turned
and ran out in the darkness, and
Mr.. LOFTS thought that his pris.
oner had escaped, having no idea
that the shot had taken effect.
Tne next morning, however;
Moore's lifeless body was found
near the railroad crossing, about
100 yards from the house in
which he was shot. There was
bullet hole just below the heart,
and he had evidently died very
soon after being shot.
Constable Lofts had hearing
before Justices Of the Peace Foote
and Matthews yesterday after
noon. and was discharged on the
ground that the shooting was
justitiable, he having killed the
negro ia self defense.

SENATOR TlLLMAN
Will Open Lecture Course
at Industrial Institute
and College.

The opening of the Industria
Institute and College, which oc-
Cured last Wednesday. will be
quickly followed by the opening
of the College Lyceum Course.
The season begins next Friday
night. Nov. 10th, when Senator
Ben. Tillman, the famous South
Carolina orator, will deliver his
we'll known lecture entitled The
Race Problem, From a Southern
Point of View" This is sub
ject which always appeals to
Southern audiences, and which
is especially appropriate at this
time. when the entire country Is
stirred up over the race problem.
BENJAMIN r. Tillman, who is
Familiarity known as Pltchfork :
Tillman, is one of the best known
men on the lecture platform.
When Tillman first came into
view as a public man the impress
sion spread abroad that there
was an uneducated. uncouth,
brawling farmer, who aspired to
rule his State, but the public
soou learned that this mpreSSiOn
was erroneous and that the esti-
mate which his enemies placed
upon his character, his intelli-
gence and his ambition did the
man a great injustice. Senator
Tillman is the scion Of one of the
most intelligent, and it might be
said one of the most aristOcratic
of the old South Carolina families.
The Tillman family lived in lux
ury until the civil war swept
away its property In slaves, leav-
ing nothing but deprecated land.
For this reason the present Sen
ator aid not go to college. but
engaged in farming. and re-
NAMED a tlller of the soil until
the great uprising of the farmers
of the South and West took place
in 1900. In this year he entered
politics, and his career has been
successful from the start. He
has served one term as senator,
and has recently been designated
by his party as his own sue
cessOr.
The second attraction to be Of
fered by the Lyceum Associa-
tion will be Miss Marie Nichols,
the talented violinist, who last
season achieved such great sue
cess with the Philharmonic Or
chestra. Miss Nichols recently
appeared, and the critics of this
highly cultured city, who are
noted for their discretion 10 mat
tiers musical, gave unstinted
praise to her playing.
Following Miss Nichols comes
Bishop Charles B. Galloway, who
will deliver his great lecture,
Il. @. G. Lamar on Decem-
Der 18th. Bishop Galloway
is too we'll known to the people
of Columbus to require any IN
PRODUCTION at this time. He is
recognized throughout the State
not only as one of it's most earn
est and consecrated Christians
but as one of it's brightest and
brainiest men.
On January 9th comes DIR.
Adolph Dahm Peterson, the Nor
wegian baritone. who for several
season past has been recognized
as one of the foremost singers of
New York City. Besides the fa-
nous songs of the Norsemen DR..
Dahm Peterson s repertoire con-
tains numerous English and
American compositions, and his
recital promises to be one of the
most pleasing entertainments
EN- bodied in the course.

comes Miss Katherine Fisk, con-
tralto, who will give a recital on

a good selection of songs with ex-
pressiveneSs, and was particular

Geo. B. Vending, a celebrated
divine who is we'll known 70 the
people of Colum bus. DR.. Wend-
| ling lectured here last year on

subject this season will be The
Man of Galilee. :"
The Bostonia Sexetee comes
on February 10th. This is one
of the most popular male quar-
| tetteS before the pubic, and nev-
er fails to delight large audiences.
The coming of Nine Fannie
Bloomfield ZeiSler on March I'd
will be an event Of great i'm port
ance. Nine. Zeisler is recogniz-
ed as one of the world S greatest
planistS, and her tour next sea-
son will be limited to twenty
concerts. Most of these con-
certs are to be given in the larg-
er cities, and the local lyceum
association is very fortunate IN
having secured her engagement.
The Temple Male Quartette,
which comes on March 10th, is
one of the oldest organizations of
it's kind in existence. having
been organized in 1867, and now
has reached the thirty -eigh n
year of it's existence. 1t has
grown in strength each year,
aud is now one OF the strongest
as well one of the oldest musical
attractions on the road.
On March 3Oth comes Mrs.
Thomas c. Trueblood, reader and
impersonator- Mrs Trueblood
is gifted woman, and her rep
ertoire is made up of her own
dramatizatlons of celebrate
works of fiction. among them be-
ing Silas Marner.s ty George
Elliott, Ramona, by Helen

by Gen Lew Wallace. and mis-
cellaneous readings.
Negotiations are now pending
with David Bispham for one of
his great Song Cycles. Mr.
Bispham was originally booked to
appear here early this season,
but the yellow fever prevented
him from filing his engagement.
His manager, Loudon @. Charlie
tan, is arranging a Southern
tour for Mr.. Bispham in March,
bat there are numerous applica-
tions for concerts, aud Secretary
Carson. of the local lyceum asso-
citation. is experiencing some
difficulty IN securing a date. He
hopes, however, to have the
great singer come to Colum-
bus, and will do all ia his power
to induce him to include this
city in his route.
The course for the coming
season is the largest and most
expensive ever arranged by Sec
retary Carson for the local ly-
ceum association, and represents
a total outlay of more than three
thousand dollars. The people of
Columbus have, however, shown
in the past that they will patron
iZe meritorious attractions most
literally, and no expense has
been spared in the effort to OBJ
tain the greatest artist and the
celebrated ordinations that
will tour the South next season.
