Opal Dandelions Now.

a hair ornament of wonderful
beauty is in the form of a dandelion
seed ball. Each seed is small. white
opal, set upon slender silver wire.
The Workmanship of this delicate
thing is beyond reproach. as the
slightest touch or breath Of dir will
set II all aquiyer.
Another ornament is in the shape OF
dragon ny. The body is one mass
Of brilliant gems. a great ruby is
set into the head and the eyes are OF
o,als. But all This solidity is lost
Yncn II comes TO the wings, which
are fashioned al a special metal,
drawn to the hneness of thread and
then woven with faithful accuracy to
the structure Of natural wing. The
effect is beyond description.
At last some genius. at loss for new
iCcas, has utilized the Wild carrot In
hair ornaments. An example Is one
representing the full'blown flower, the
center of solid mass OF opals. the
surrounding circles being OF white
enamel. The entire flower is worked
out in detail, and diamonds further
separate the natural divisions OF the
bloom.

Negroes Kill White Men.

Sumner, Miss, July 19.F.
E. Allen, Manager of the Collier
place, near Swan Lake, and j I.
Barksdale, Manager Of the james
Plantation, were shot from am
bush and dangerously wounded
by two negro tenants, Henry and
Will Harris, this morning.
The shooting occurred in a
corn field on the James Plantation,
the negroes using shotguns. The
negroes, who were refractory
characters, had created some trou-
BILE on the places, and Allen and
Barksdale, in company with Z. j..
james were on their way to the
the scene.
A telephone message was re-
ceiyed here at 5 o'clock report
ing that the dogs had brought
the ngroes to bay in a cypress
swamp. The message also stated
that mule ridden by one of the
persuers was shot and officers re-
turned the fire and one of the
negroes was brought down with
his body literally riddIed with
bullets. The other negro eluded
the posse, but the chase is being

GOVERNOR on THE BLACK CRIME.
Offlcers are IIeId RespOnslble.

The great number of rapes
committed in the South recently,
caused Governor Vardaman TO
sound a note of warning 10 the
following interview, which was
given out today:
The heat of the summer sun
seems to intensity the british
negro's lust, as it causes the blood
to flow in the body, and melts The
virus in the fangs Of the coiled
serpent, on the side of the rock in
early spring. Il seems TO loosen
within bis soul the very fires Of
hell itself.
Did you ever think of that
most of the outrages committed
by negroes on white women are
committed in the summer time?
You seldom hear of that dreaded
crime being perpetrated in the
winter, when the weather is cold.
The frequency with which this
crime has been committed in the
South recently is alarming and
excites the most profound anxiety.
The news columns of the daily
papers are full of it. No class or
conditions of white women are ex-
empt from the salacious ferocity
of this human beast. He is just
as liable to select for his victim
the unguarded occupant of the
palace as the struggling poor
woman of the humble home.
The situation is becoming aw-
fnl and calls for heroic treatment.
The white woman of Mississippi
must be protected from these
lecherous monsters, who roam at
will over the State, like wild
beasts in the forest.
THE fair fame of one good
woman is valued by me above the
life of every black brute that
walks the face of the earth.
The officers of the law must be
more Yigilant and active in the
enforcement of the law. If they
will do their duty, exterminate
the blind tiger, close up the dives
of iniquitY, fill the iails and coun-
ty farms with the vagrants who
loaf around the towns and cities,
rapes and murders will cease.
The graver crimes grow out of
the inefficient, or rather, absolute
non-enforcement of the laws pun
ishing misdemeanors.
IL the men charged with the
enforcement of the law will stop
and think, they will realize that
most of the unspeakable crimes
against white women are traceable
to their neglect of duty From
that viewpoint, the responsibility
of the officer is great :
