Hoyt is Back.

! sA~S -
Mr.. A. j. Hoyt, the ex-Pinker-
ton, who has been frequently en-
ployed by the governor as special
detective and who unearthed the
white capper organizations in
Lincoln and franklin counties,
arrived IN the city last night, and
was closeted with the governor
for a short while this morning.
Mr.. Hoyt stated that his visit to
Jackson was without especial sig
nifcance, and that he has no bust
ness of public interest to transact
with the chief executive. He was
busily engaged with stenogra-
|pher today getting up statement
of some sort, the nature of which
was not revealed.
To the folks who believe that
detectives know everything, the
governors young Sleuth is rude
disilluslonment. A News report
er discovered Mr.. Hoyt this
morning gazing very mournfully
lat the ruins Of the Noryelle, ana
when asked concerning the cause
of his sadness stated that he had a
nice suit of clothes, typewriter,
a scrap book and a few sother
things destroyed in the building.
Mr.. Hoyt had heard about the
insurance investigation in New
York, he knew that Miss Roose-
velt is engaged to wed, and had
heard something about the peace
conference between Russia and
Japan, but until his arrival in
Jackson had not learned of the
destruction of the Norvelle, all of
which proves that detectives are
not infallible. jackson Evening

THE LABOR AGENT MENACE.

As will be seen BY the proceed
fings of citizens meeting held
yesterday at the court house, this
county is again menaced by an in
tvasion Of labor agents from the
Delta and elsewhere. Prompt
and united action on the part of
the farming and business interests
[of the county is demanded to put
a quietus on the operations Of this
pestiferous class of interlopers
and nip the movement in its in
|cipiency. To those who investi-
gated the labor disturbances in
this county two years ago, it is
we'll known that labor agents Sc
|cretly resorted to whitecap meth
ods to run negroes of Of certain
places at that time. In fact, be-
tween some of these agents and
the worst class of white caps
there subsisted the most perfect
fellowship and mutual CO. opera
tion. Some of these sneaky agents,
with headquarters in Brookha ven,
actually farmed on white cap
capitalo that is, they made their
headquarters here, and they and
their strikers would send out no.
tices through the mails or have
them posted, warning negroes to
leave their homes. In some in
stances, night parties were formed
to visit and shoot into negro
houses, and let the white caps get
the credit. Meanwhile, the labor
agents had their bags all carefully
set in Brookhayen to catch all the
black snipe turned this way, and,.
unlike the proverblal snlpe-hunter
who holds the bag, they usually
got the game.
For the people of the county to
tolerate another visitation from
these agents is to invite repeti-
tion Cf the same old white cap
tactics, with attendant conse-
quences. Labor will be disturbed,
demoraIized and driven off, the
people of Lincoln county will
suffer the odium and cost of such
lawlessness, and the willy labor
agents will quietly depart with
the game, chuckling in their
sleeves.
Let's have no more such rank
injustice and imposition on the
county.

JUDGES Tired Of Their Jobs.

The unexpected designations of
Judge Catchings, of the Vicks-
burg District, and Judge McDon-
laid, Of the Seashore District,
together with the threatened res
ignation Of Judge Cochran, is
lonly one of the many proofs that a
Circuit Judgeship in Mississippi
is not a fiowery bed of ease, with
an ample salary attached. Num-
lerous designations Of this charac-
tier during the latter part Of GOV.
Longino's term, furnished no
little material for adverse criti-
Icisrn to Major Vardaman's partl-
sans, who were ready at that time
to ascribe everything of the kind
| to political intrigue and trading,
| land an attempt on the part of the
lthen Governor to stock the bench
with his own partisans in advance
lof Vardaman's term Of office.
Gov. Vardaman now finds himself
lconfronted by the same situation
with which Gov. Longino had to
deal. and it is said to cause him
considerable trouble and annoy
Ianoe. The charges made by Var
Idaman's partisans over two years
Iago against Gov. Longino we're
altogether unfair and unwarranted
lby the real facts, and would be
equally unwarranted and unjust If
made against Gov. Vardaman at
this time. The real trouble is,
that the talent, work and respon-
|sibility attached to q Circuit
Judgeship at The present time are
altogeIher out of proportion To

THREATENED INVASION
BY LABOR AGENTS.
CITIZENS MASS MEETING HELD YES
TERDAY TO CONSIDER SIT.
UATION.
The Agents are Warned to Give Lin
coin County a Wide Berth in
the Future.

Acting on information that la
Dor agents from the Delta and
other sections were about to in
wade Lincoln county with the
same disturbing and disastrous
results which followed in their
wake two years ago, a meeting of
citizens was held at the court
house at 10 O'Clock yesterday to
consider the situation.
| On motion B. f. Goza was call
ed to the chair and B. Z. Hobbs
requested to act as secretary.
| Sheriff R. G. Applewhite, who
had taken an active part in calling
1.-THE meeting together, stated what
he had learned concerning the
movements of persons who had
ALREADY come into the county for
the purpose of enticing away
labor, and urged the Importance
of prompt and concerted action on
the part of business men and far
mers to put stop to their opera
tions.
/ On motion a committee of three
consisting of Sheriff Appiewhite,
John E. Seavey and ]. M. Wood
was appointed by the chair to at
once wait upon certain labor
agents reported to be in town,
acquaint them with the labor sit
uation in this county, the state of
public sentiment on the subject of
labor agents, and admonish them
to shake the dust of Lincoln coun-
| ty from their feet.
| On further motion w. FL. Sea-
vey, F. F. Becker, L. Ell. Bowen
and M. Mccullough were appoint
ed a committee on resolutions,
with instructions to report at this
meeting.
After retiring for conference,
the committee returned and sub
mitted the following report:
Whereas, a number of labor
agents are in active operation in
Lincoln county, encouraging la
borers to leave their employment
and the county; and,- whereas
there is now, in our opinion, al
ready a scarcity of labor among
JUS; and. whereas, certain troubles
that existed in our county twelve
months ago were largely the re-
suit of labor agents; now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the senti-
ment of the business men of
Brookhaven and community that
the work of these labor agents is
a menace to the peace and busi-
ness prosperity of our farmers,
merchants and all other business
interests; and that the best inter-
ests of our people will be best
|subserved if these agents cease
operating Immediately in this
county, and it is hereby requested
that all such agents comply with
the sentiments of these resolu-
tlons.
Be it further resolved, That
all farmers and other employers
of labor are hereby requested to
report to Sheriff r. G. Apple
white, or other county officers all
visits of labor agents to their re-
spectiye communities so that the
law protecting our interests may
be strictly and speedily enforced.
Be it further resolved, That we
hereby pledge our hearty and ac-
tive support to the county officers
IN enforcing the law against the
work of all labor agents.
Be it further resolved, That a
copy of these resolutions be fur
nished each of the county papers
with request to publish.

GATHERED UP.
NOT ONE TO TELL THE TALE
More Than $50 Men Entombed by the
Explosion and Not One Escaped
Many Blown to Bits and Burned
Beyond the Possibility Of ldentifi-
cation.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-The
scene at the Virginia mines yesterday
where the terrific after-damp explos
ion Monday Afternoon imprisoned 16(
men 700 feet below the surface, was
the most gruesome and narrowing
ever witnessed in this section of Ala
bama. OF the miners who entered
the mines Monday afternoon so faI
only SO bodies have been recovered
AS time grows, Notwithstanding the
efforts Of the rescuers to reach the
entombed men, the recovery already
OF so many dead bodies, precludes any
idea that amy living men remain among
the unfOrtunates still in the mine.
Practically isolated from the out-
side world by communication the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent found it
necessary to employ couriers to inter.
sect its wires eight miles distant.
The corpses are frightfully mangled
and disfigured and Identification Is al
most impossible. Many Of them are
so badly bruised and twisted and dis
cOlored that negroes cannot be dis
tinguished from white men.
All day long at the mouth OF the
mine the wailing and moaning of
women and children whose unfortu-
nate relatives were In the mine has
been the most heart rending feature
Of the disaster. One hundred -famil-
les and 800 children are left destitute
and without means of support.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether piece at a time, were brought
to the surface they were placed in
rows on a platform and late last even
ing ambulances began their removal
to Bessemer.
Carry Out Fragments.
One of the most gruesome sights
was mans head being carried out OF
the mine in a dinner basket. It was
found in this position and the flesh
was almost entirely burned away
from the skull. Legs, arms and
mangled trunks were brought out in
succession. After nightfall the en-
trance to the mine was converted into
a veritable chamber of horrors, the
awfuEness of which was intensified by
Pickering lamps as the feeble rays
fell upon mangled and bleeding frag-
ments of human flesh, strewn about
the entrance. Stouthearted men
who had been assisting i'm the work OF
rescue were forced to give up the
task and numerous persons have faint
ed upon seeing the CHASTITY array of
bodies.
Mine Boss Reed is confident that
more than 100 of the men in the mines
persisted.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES TO
HEAR ARGUMENTS.
r. n. Hill Opposes Bill to Lower Max
imum Charge for Passenger Traffic
on the Ground That 1t Would
Wipe Out All Profit in the Bust
ness.
Madison, Feb. %.

Madison, Feb. O..
The railroad committees of the SEN
ate and assembly sat in joint ses-
sion yesterday afternoon, Senator Hat
ten presiding, and determined to hold
the hearings on the railroad rate COM
mission bill next week, beginning
Tuesday afternoon. 1t is expected
that the arguments will occupy all
the week and perhaps part of the
week following. There is an appar-
ent disposition to have the important
matter disposed of as expeditfously
as practicable, although the fullest OPP
portunity is to be given for the presen-
tation of the views of all persons and
corporations interested. There were
present at the meeting several rail-
road attorneys and legislative repre-
sentatives, including Berton Hanson
of Chicago, general solicitor OF the
Milwaukee road; ex-senator D. E.
Riordan of Eagle River, attorney for
the Northwestern; Thomas H. Gill of
Milwaukee, attorney for the Wiscon-
sin Central; ex-Senators James Green
of Milwaukee and John Harris of Elk
horn and others.
After the hearings had been set
the two-cent passenger rate bill was
taken up, Mr.. Gill making an argu-
ment in opposition, on behalf of the
Wisconsin Central company. He pre-
scented an array of statistics, compiled
from the official sworn reports, and
reached the conclusion that to compel
a fiat rate of two cents a mile for pas
senger traffic would wipe out all the
profits for his road in that department
of business and result in practical
confscation of the property to that
extent. He informed the committee
that As per cent of the passenger traf-
f1c was at rate Of two cents mile or
less, but that the regular ticket sales
at three cents mile allowed the COM
pany a small profit.

NATURAL WEATHER PROPHET

AS a natural weather prophet, and

of Sicily, in the Mediterranean, is be-
lieved to hold the record. The fol
lowing lis from an account of a dinner
given by the Geographical Council
Club of England in 1898: Capt.
Wharton. the photographer to the
Admiralty, told how he had once
anchored in very deep water on the
east side of Vulcano, the southern
most of the Lipari isles, but THAT he
had kept UP steam with the intention
of being on Immediately if the wind
changed to the east. He mentioned
this to an Englishman who lived ON
the island and was in charge of some
borax works. But said the man,
there is not the yremotest chance OF
the wind going around to the east
without full warning What warm

Wharton. Yes, the volcano. A
"fmnarone" always emits wihistling
sound before the east wind begins to
blow Shortly after this Wharton
was looking at Strabo, and, to his as
constituent, found THAT that writer
mentions the fact. The Englishman
had never heard of Strabo i'm his life.
