YARDAMAN'S Way.
The Governor Arrests 4 Negro MuFdeF.
eron i Railroad Train.
Especial g the Tlmes-Democrat. i

tAtkf~etAt
Jackson, Jan. 20. When ii
comes to enforcing law and order
Gov. Vardaman never stands on
ceremony or hesitates to sdo'' as
we'll as say" when the exigencies
of the occasion demand.
a case in point is furnished by
q highly interesting incident that
occurred Saturday night on the
south bound Valley train coming
from Lexington, in which negro
charged with double murder in
Holmes county was captured by
1.-The Governor, the conductor and
a passenger as he was making his
way from the scene Of the crime.
The negro's name is Jim Hannah,
and the charge against him is the
assassination of a negro woman
and her husband. The arrest was
made before the train got to
Yazoo City, the Governor being
an accidental passenger, returning
to jackson flom a trip to Sun
flower county, where he went to
visit the State farm and look at
some brood mares offered for sale.
As the train pulled up at Mile
stone, in Holmes county, a wall
of distress was heard and a wom-
lan's voice in loud lamentations
brought the passengers to the
windows in anxious curiosity.
Conductor Moore informed the
passengers that the woman had
Just gotten off the train and had
been Informed that her daughter
and daughters husband had been
murdered. Shortly after the
train pulled out from Milestone
Conductor Moore noticed negro
standing on the platform Of the
Jim Crow car and ordered him
inside. The negro's actions were
so suspicious as to impress the
conductor. Among the passen-
gers who got on at Milestone was
| a Mr.. Howard, who told the con-
ductor that the man and woman
murdered near that place were be-
lieved to have been killed by Jim
Hannah, a negro. The woman
had left Hannah a week before
and had married. Conductor
Moore remarked that be believed
Hannah was the suspicious negro
who got on at Milestone, asked
Mr.. Howard to look at him, and
Howard identified the man. Con-
ductor Moore then reported the
matter to Governor Vardaman
and asked his advice. The Gov
ernor said the man should be ar
rested by all means, and as Moore
hesitated about having authority
to make the arrest, the Governor
promptly volunteered to take
hand in it himself. Accordingly
! the conductor and the Governor
went to the negro coach and with
Mr.. Howard arrested Hannah,
taking from him huge pistol and
"a bottle of blind tiger whisky.
The Governor wired to Sheriff
Stubblefield to meet the train at
Yazoo City and turned the negro
over to him.
This morning it was learned
from Milestone that the evidence
against Hannah is complete, and
that he is the man wanted for the
murder of the man and woman.
Hannah will be held at Yazoo
City for the sheriff of Holmes
county. The two negroes were
shot and killed at their home near
Milestone some time during Sat
urday afternoon, and in less than
three hours afterward Hannah
was under arrest. He was evil
IDENTIFY making his way to Jack
son, intending probably to work
on to New Orleans.

Mr.. w. G. Maxwell has had his
land on the west side Of the rail
road surveyed and plated, and
has already sold several lots. This
land he expects to hold principal

Our railroad is proving all that
was expected of it. The fact that
we are trying to gel another one
to come this way is only evidence
that our people know what a good
thing is and are determined not
to let it slip if they can help it.

Rev. J. 2. Hemby, Of Brook

nearly 500. This will be largely
increased during the year, and it
is confidently expected to wind up
che collection with a total of at
least $3.50.
The last issue of the Silver
Creek Star says that petitions are
being circulated in that portion Of
the county praying for the Board
of Supervisors not to rebuild the
Jail at Monticello. This is being
done, so our esteemed contempo-

that the people of the county may
later on have an opportunity to
vote on the question of removing
the court house to Silver Creek,
all Of which brings on a lot OF
talk. It WON'T be moved.

With the continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 will be more largely
attended than ever before in its his
tory. Last year the South Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated its annual Fair
at its new home in the southern su
burb of Columbia. As is usually
the case. there were some little de-
tails that could not be finished for
the holding of the last Fair, but
President Guignard has had a full
year in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the State Fair have a
more successful Fair than that
which is to be held here on October
24th, 18TH, Goth, and 27tk, inclusive.
The inquiry for space at the
grounds. as we'll as from small ex-
hibitorS. indicate a very general ap-
probation of the value of such ex-
hibits. 4 great deal of interest is
being shown in the mechanical de-
vices for use in agricultural pur-
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will be quite a
number of labor saving devices ex-
hibited. and, of course, all up-to-
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however, a far more in
teresting phase of the State Fairs
than the mere exhibits in the build
ings on the ground, and that is the
opportunity for intercourse between
the people OF the State that the
State Fair offers.
