Yazoo and Mississippi Valley pas
senger train No. u at Hardee,

In his confession, which was made
to Dan Lehan, railroad detective,
Lawson duplicates four white
.tramps. Their motive for ditch
ing the train, according to Law
son, was in revenge, for having
been elected from a freight train
on which they were deadheading
passage to Memphis. The negro
declares that the decd was done at
the instigation Of one ofsthe white
men, but that he (LawsonA threw
the switch, having a key in his

70 Owners Of Spot Cotton |

To Cotton Producers: The cot
ton acreage and use Of commercial
fertilizers under cotton for 1905
has been materially reduced under
that Of 1904. The farmers
throughout the entire cotton belt
have made their pledges good
and production will be restricted
so that the surplus of 1904 can 60
into the crop of 1905 and both be-
sold at good prices to meet the
demands of consumption for 1906.
But the surplus Of 1904 must be-
held by the farmers, because if
sold, it will be used next fall to-
depress the price of the new crop.
Cotton is now being sold too free
ly. With victory already in our
grasp it is folly to weaken our
present strong position by throw
ing all the cotton that has been so
tenaciously held, upon depress-
ed market. You can't get rid of.
The surplus by selling it, but you
permit your enemies to strongly
fortify their positions for the fu-
ture. The mills have sold their
goods ahead until 1907. The
crop to be grown in 1905 has al
ready been sold by both exporters.
and spinners. You have not been
consulted, but you are the owners
of the cotton. Plans are matur-
ing to assist you in holding the
cotton you now have until fairer
prices are offered. Make the
splendid fight which you have
made since December 3rd, 1904,
one of the greatest victories of
modern times, by absolutely tying
up the present spot market and
holding the surplus of 1904 In
your own possession. Do not
weaken under present bear pres
sure, but stand steadfast and true
to yourselves, your families and.
| your country. You have reduced
the cotton acreage and use of
guano for 1905, now hold your
cotton. Yours truly,

Definition Of PeOnage.

The following from a recent
charge Of a Federal Judge it oc-
ours to The Review, could be CON
sidered with profit in this section.
Defining peonage the Judge says:
Peonage is the holding Of a
person to service or labor for the
purpose of paying or liquidating
an Indebtedness due from the la
borer or employee to The employer
when such employee desires to
leave or quit the employment be-
fore the debt is paid. II is who'll
Ily immaterial whether the con-
tract whereby the laborer is TO
work out an indebtedness due
from him to the employer is en-
tered into voluntarily or not. The
laws Of the United States declare
all such contracts null and void,
and they can not be enforced. It
is immaterial whether such a con-
tract is made in consideration of a
pre- existing indebtness or for a
loan made at the time the contract
is made. The law prohibits them;
and if made, declares the contract
null and void, and any person
who holds, arrests, returns or
causes the return, or in any man
ner aids il the arrest Of any per-
son to a condition of peonage, is
guilty of an offense against the
laws of the United States, and
subject to indictment by a grand
jury of the district in which the
acts are committed. If a man en-
tiers into such contract with an
other the laws of the United
States say that it is null and void.
and he may at any time he desires
leave bis employment, although
THE debt is still unpaid; and any
attempt on the part If the en-
ployer to prevent him from leav-
ling, either BY force, threats or In
|timidation. or BY guarding bin
and locking him up TO prevent his
escape, is within the meaning Of
the laws OF the United States an
ofiense. The fact even that the
Ilaborer entered into that contract
voluntarily and with full knowl-
edge Of the condition of his en-
ployment is no excuse, for the
law says that no person shall eater

does it shall be null and void. IF

MIssIsslppl WhIte CAB Indlctments.

The Federal grand jury at Jack
son, Miss, has manifested GER
tain interest in the white Gaping
outrages in Franklin county, and
the result is that about three hun
dred white citizens are now under
Indictment. The specific ofense
with which they are charged is
disturbing homesteaders. Sever
al of the negroes who were objects
of the animosity Of the white caps
came within that category cir
cumstance which gave the Federal
Court jurisdiction. With the adj
ditional large number of offenses
touching negroes owning or rent
ing other lands it had, of course,
no concern whatever.
It is not case Of impertinent
intermeddling with the well-defin-
ed jurisdiction of the State courts
under a fallacious Interpretation
Of constitutional provisions, as
was the action of the Alabama iu-
ry, which found indictments
against certain alleged Iynchers in
Difference to Judge Jones charge.
Though the attacks on the negroes
in Franklin county we're apparent
ly dictated as much by race an
imosity" as the lynching of the
Alabama negro, we find no allu-
sion in Judge Niles charge to the
novel opinion of Judge Jones.
The violation of a very plain sec
ton of the Federal Revised Stat
utes constituted the ground on
which the grand jury was in
structed, in case there was suffi
cient evidence, to find indict-
ments. And that such co-opera-
ton of the Federal court will as
sist in giving the coup de grace to
this particular form Of lawlessness
In that section of the State can
fairly be taken for granted. The
mere fact that SO many indict-
ments have been found is in itself
sufficient to strike a wholesome
terror into the bosoms of those
who have either participated in or
winked at this species of CRIME.
If it chances, as is most probable,
that a 1.-THE of the indictments are
sustained, the laWless element will
be given an object lesson that will
not be forgotten for several gen
erations. They will realize that
between the upper and neither
stones Of the State and county
authorities and the Federal courts
they are certain to be painfully
ground, in case they persist in
disregarding the rights of others
Others to life, liberty and the
peaceful enjoyment of property.
With such a realization will come
also a lively sense of the abiding
benefit to be derived from alb
staining from such course.
However, it is proper in this
connection to call attention to the
fact that the Federal authorities
are not the only ones that are
moving toward a vindication of
the law in those parts. Nothing
in his entire record reflects more
credit on Gov. Yardaman than the
firm stand he has taken with ref
erence to the suppression of
white Gaping and the wisdom
and energy with which be has
availed himself of all possible
means to discover the unknown
offenders. The evidence that has
been collected at his instigation to
be laid before the county grand
jury will, no doubt, be as conclu
sive as that presented at jackson
and should produce a similar re-
suit. N @. Times Democrat.

Bishop GaIIOway's office.

Although assigned by the col
Iege of bishops to the mission field
Of the far East, Bishop Galloway
will not make another trip to the
Orient this year.
The press dispatches from
Nashville Stating that the distin-
guished Mississippi divine had.
again been assigned to preside
over the mission conference In
Japan, China and Corea created
some surprise among the mem
be1s of the Methodist church in
Mississippi, as Bishop Galloway
returned from similar visitation
only about six months ago, and, it
is not the usual custom to award
this arduous journey to the same
divine for two successive years.
The college of bishops decided,
however, that it will not be neces-
sary to send bishop to the far
East this year, and the assignment
of Bishop Galloway to these con-
ferences only means that he will
have personal charge Of their
affairs, but will not be required to
make the long journey. Some
member Of the clergy now labor
ing in the mission field will be
chosen to preside over the mission
conferences.
Bishop Galloway has made
three journeys TO The Orient as
the representative of his church,
and the keen interest and constant
activity he has shown in behalf of
the work ia those fields has caus-
ed him to become popularity
known as the mission bishop of
Methodism. Since his return
from China last October he has
raised large sums Of money To be
