DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

A sad killing occurred on the Yazoe
x. X. last Monday. Two men in the
neat OF accusation and dispute became
involved in shooting affair and both
were killed. AS much as this is to be
deplored it is not as culpable as where
men in cool deliberation go out and
hight duel. Dueling however, has
been almost entirely stopped by the
provision of the constitution dis
franchising duelists. 1t reads as
follows:
Sec. 10. Human life shall not
be imperiled by the practice of duel
ing; and any citizen of this state
who shall hereafter fight duel, or
assist in the same as second, or send,
accept, or knowingly carry chal-
lenge therefor, whether such act be
done in the state, or out of it, or who
shall go out of the state to fight q
duel, or to assist in the same as
second, or to send, accept, or carry a
challenge, shall be disqualified from
holding any Office under this con-
stltution, and shall be disfranchised. ;,
This applies to rich and poor, high
and low, alike.

DIR. MOBILES IDEA.

The Jackson correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune sends his paper
the following:
DR.. John e. Noble, of Fannin.
prominent merchant, planter and ply
stefan, spent the day in Jackson on
business. DR.. Noble declares that
the cotton crop in his part of Rankin
county is 40 short of what it was last
year, and yet the people are more
prosperous than ever before, having
an abundance of things good to eat
about them and we'll fixed to get
through the winter. Being asked
how he accounted for that change in
the condition of the farmers DR. !.
Noble said:
The entire system of farming and
doing business has been changed in
our county, and suppose in all other
counties of the state. The old supply
merchant is thing Of the past, and
everything is now done on q cash
basis. 1t has ccme to pass that every
farmer who has piece of land, q
horse, or couple Of cattle, can get q
little money from the money lenders
OF the neighborhood in which he
hoppens to live, or from the banks at
Brandon, Jackson or Canton, and they
are positively independent of the
merchant. Of course, it sometimes
happens that the lender loses out.
The borrower strikes a streak of bad
luck, crops turn out short, and prices
low. go that the mortgage must be
foTeclosed, and the money lender is
left with poor horse on his hands
The negroes are doing this cash bust
ness just as well as are the white
farmers, and they seem to be holding
their own, though some of them are
SO shiftless that as soon as they ne
gotiate their loan they blow in the
cash and then move OUT
DR.. Noble is of the opinion that
the Cotton Association conference at
Asheville had placed the price Of cot.
ton about cent too high, though he
admitted that it would be for the best
in the event the farmers would all
hold back until the crop is needed. If
the minimum price had been fixed at
10 cents instead Of II, he said, many
more would have tried to hold to that
figure.
The rule Of our section of the
country he said, shas always been

sell If possible, and they are all will

lieved, yet the Judge wanted TO know
just what had happened. Mr.. McGrath
went over Sunday and told the Judge
all that happened. After listening TO
the account of the affair the judge ex-
pressed his personal sympathy with
Mr.. McGratb, in that he had been
called on to do what he had accom-
plished, but congratulated him upon
the thorough work that had been
done. He expressed his Satisfaction
at the removal of the Two men, who, If
they had escaped, might for years have
been preyiug on society, and who
might, IL their arrest had been at
tempted by less energetic officers, have
killed innocent men and good citizens.
Their death saved the county consid
cradle money, that would have been
expended in hunting for them, and II

the judge gave Mr.. McGrath this ad-
vice; If you should be so unfortunate
as to be called on to again act 10 the
arrest of such desperate men do not
wait so long after calling on them to
surrender. Do not take such chances.

for roosting. laying and setting. and

for the Barred Plymouth Rocks, which
are raised exclusively. There are differ
