OverSeers Appointed.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Supervisors a list of overseers were ap-
pointed for the public roads of the
county. The board after making an
estimate of the cost of working the
roads by contract decided that the funds
now on hand and that that could be col
lected on the communication tax would
not be sufficient to begin work, hence it
was necessary to cancel the former or
der and return to the old law. The mat
ter of working the roads will remain in
allegiance until such time as the board
feels that they have sufficient funds
with which to make the experiment.

GOVERNOR VARDAMAN'S
STIRRING APPEAL
To the People Of Mississippi for the Enforcement of the
Law---The Idle, Vicious Negro Must Go.

Gov. Vardpman has issued the
following address to the peace
officers of the State and good cit
liens generally:
To the Officers of the Counties, Cities
Towns and Villages in the State OF
Mississippi, Charged with the En-
forcement of the Law:
Never before in the history OF
this commonwealth were it's white
people confronted with so grave
a problem as that which con-
fronts them today.
The great number of criminal
negroes who are drifting into the
cities and towns from the country,
seeking a way to live. without
honest toll have become a peril to
the peace of the community and
a menace to the safety Of the
white mans home.
In the city of Jackson, within
the very shadow of the State
Capitol, on one of the principal
streets, a few days ago; an un-
offending, chaste and honest
young white woman was brutally
ravished by a negro beast. The
atrocity of the deed, coupled by
the apparent reckless disregard
of the probability Of detection,
startles the imagination and ev-
licences spirit of dastardly dar-
ing and fiendish atrocity on the
part of the perpetrators which
is calculated to send a thrill of
horror through the hearts of
every white man and woman in
the State. tits the more horrible
still when we contemplate the
fact this crime was the culmina-
ticn of number of attempts
made by negroes in the City of
Jackson, within the last thirty
days.
That which has occurred in the
City of Jackson is liable to occur
Gift has not already occurred) in
every city, town or rural neigh
borhood of the State. At one time
it was thought that there was
little danger Of the commission
of such crimes in the cities and
towns with police regulations,
but the alarming frequency with
which it has been committed in
recent years has changed that
thought, and shows that it is
just as liable to occur in the
heart of a city as in the sparsely
settled rural districts.
The stealthy manner which
characterizes the conduct of the
perpetrator of this crime resem-
bles the movement of the tiger
when pursuing his prey. The
presence of the fend is never
known until the terrible deed has
been accomplished and the victim
left bleeding and dying with sell
dom the trace of the identify OF
her DESTROYER.

UTOPIAN DREAMS.

Forty years of freedom and
public education have not fulfilled
the Utopian dream of the ne
grophilist of the North and the
North-flavored vagarist Of tho
South. It has not improved the
negro's morals, awakened within
him an intelligent love of country
or cultivated an uplifting, passion
restraining self-respect. He is
the barbarian still, with a thin
veneering of civilization, and the
education afforded him by the
white mans money over period
of forty years seems only to have
increaseds his capacity for crime.
In his educated condition his as
piration is to rise in the world
and otherwise manifested itself
IN beaStly assaults upon WnlJe
women.
The situation is becoming des-
perate and something must be
done.
While the average negro is in
herently immoral, the more Vi
cious criminal among them is the
idler. There is nothing to fear
from the patient, working negro.
He is thinking about his work
rather than devoting his time to
the execution Of devlish schmes.
He may not tell a white man even
if he knows the whereabouts of
the most depraved negro felon,

NO CAUSE FOR

TREATY WITH GERMANY is

Cologne, Germany, Dee. 2S.-The
Cologne Gazette prints an inspired dis
patch from Berlin calling attention to
report cabled from Berlin to New
York representing that German gov
ernment circles are seriously concern
ed and even in nervous condition
because the negotiations for a COM
mercial treaty with the United States
have come to standstlll. The Berlin
correspondent of the paper says.
The whole matter is regarded here
with great calmness and without ner-
vousness. II is wholly untrue that
the negotiations are halting on the
contrary they are proceeding at a
normal pace. The existing difficulties
in recasting Germanys tariff relations
with the United States cannot preju-
dice calm and purely objective treat
ment of the matter"

himself on record as staunch FRIEND

criticism of the game, "if not hysteri-
cal and frenzied, is at least one-sided
and unfair
President Schurman urged that the
game should not be abolished Mod
lfy II. he suggested, SO as to remove
the extra hazards. but to abolish IT, ne
asserted. would be to do away with
the most popular sport Of the youth
of the country and OF the American

considerable attention to the physical

Washington, Dec. 2S.--A number
of protests have been made both al

department against the bill passed

weeks ago creating the position oi

hands, II is provided. shall pass all the
money that viii be paid 10 the mem
bers of the tribe In the closing OF
their affairs The bill passed provides
that the disburslng agent shall receive
10 per cent Of all the money paid out
by him In this manner. and that II
has been estimated that his emolu-
ments will amount to about $1,000
900. The bill needs the approval OF
the president to become a law. and II
is not likely that II would receive this,
even II there were no protests, for the
Curtis bill which is likely to be the

REVOLT MAY
END IN BIG
MASSACRE
Final Demonstration BY Black
Hundred Feared.
PRISONS FILLING UP WITH
CAPTURED REVOLUTIONlSTS
-Four thousand Strikers March Out
of Moscow and Destroy Railway.
Mistchenko Rumored Hurt.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-Accordlng
to advices received by the government
tonight, the rebellion at Moscow is
entering on its final stage"
The same guerrilla warfare was
continued today, but on smaller
scale.
Governor General Doubasoff is act
ing with great energy, and hundreds
of members of the 'Drujina" are al
really behind the bars.
The strikers have lost heart and
the workmen's council is considering
the question of calling off the strike.
The principal danger now seems to
be that the BLACK Hundred will COM
plete the work begun by the troops
and end the revolt with a horrible
massacre. The lower classes are rep
resented as enraged at the attempt OF
the revolutionaries to overthrow the
emperor and even with the best in
tentions, Ii may be impossible for the
authorities to restrain the fury of
these classes once the opportunity Is
offered them. The attacks made on
striking railroad men at wayside sta
tions sufficiently show the temper Of
the peasant class.
Four thousand strikers marched out
of Moscow and completely destroyed
several miles of the railroad track
between st. Petersburg and Moscow
thirty miles outside of Moscow in og-
der tn nrevpnt thp arrival of trOon
trains bearing the Seminovsky battai-
ion of the Horse guard. and the trains
backed twenty miles "a Clyne, whence
1t is understood the troops Will pro-
eeed ON foot for their destination.
