IT'S UP TO THE NEGRO.

Discussing the peonage cases the Monticello Advance very sen- sibly remarks:
 Tt is to be hoped that negroes will not be encouraged by these suits to abandon their crops upon slight provocations and leave their employers to bear heavy losses. This would lead to se- rious trouble between the races and eventually work a hardship on the negro. If there is no way of forcing the negro to comply with his contracts it will be only the more reliable ones that will get an opportunity to make them"
 It is as the Advance says. It is up to the negro. He is now placed where he must be honest and upright in his contracts with the planter. He can not be forced to remain in the planters employ until he has ia aithfully executed his contracts with the

a number of others sustained lesser injuries as the result of an accident here last night One section of the elevated seats in a tent during a performance by the New Orleans minstrels fell, causing great consternation. The most seriously injured are: Miss Fife Cloud, arm broken. Euge- nie Hoffman, internally injured by large splinter penetrating his thigh and entering the abdo- men, his condition being serious. None of the other persons in- jured is regarded as in a serious condition.

PROFESSOR RIGHTSELL
 EXPECTS TO RETIRE

Little Rock, April 21. It may be stated with a degree of cer. tainty, beyond any question, that Professor J. R. Rightsell will re- tire after this term from the office of superintendent of the Little Rock public schools, after most faithful and efficient ser- vice of a quarter of a century. He will not be the next superin- tendent.
 The heard, at the meeting on April 29, will elect a superinten- dent, and whether Professor Rightsell is elected or not, his resignation, which his friends say will come later, will make it necessary for the board to elect a supervisor. Former Superin- tendent J. J. Doyne, who has been in the book and stationery business in Little Rock since his retirement from public office two years ago, and Professor How ard Gates, principal of the Pea body high school, are the ones most prominently mentioned for the place.
 For several years Professor Rightsell's health has not been good, and he will take a much needed vacation for reeuperation. His retirement from the schools, which he has done so much to build up, will be regretted by all, for his work has been such | as to commend him not only to the parents and the pupils, but to the educated world.

ONE MAN DROWNED
 LIN BLACK RIVER.
Caused by Capsizing of Rowboat Above Pocahontas
 Friday.

Pocahontas, April 21. While three men were crossing Black river in a boat about six miles above here this afternoon the boat capsized and threw the oc- cupants into the water. One of them, whose name was Brooks, could not swim and drowned.
 The names of the other men are not known, but one of them narrowly escaped drowning while trying to save his companion and had to be tugged ashore by a third man.
 Brooks lived in Missouri and was working in the timber on the river. His body was recov- cred and the remains will be buried tomorrow near the scene of the drowning.

planter. He may get into the planters debt and jump his con- tract and the planter must sub- init gracefully to the loss because the contract-jumping negro never has any property subject to at- tachment for debt.
 The only hope for the planter is to deal with the negro who will faithfully perform any con- tract he may make. There can be no doubt but what the plant CTS will protect themselves, and the best way to do it is to pass along the names of contract jumping tenants and for no planter to give employment to a tenant who has jumped a con- tract.

PREFERRED DEATH RATHER THAN WORK.

Hot Springs, April 21. Pre- ferring death to a job on the city rock pile Frank Heinold of Roch- ester, N. Y., this morning ended his life in the city jail by sever- ing his jugular vein with a pock- ct knife.
 Heinold was placed in jail on a conviction for petty larceny and sentenced to fifty days on the chain gang, but evidently was more afraid of work than death.
