FLESH BUILDER

The liver of the cod fish
produces oil that IS a won
derful flesh builder. No fat
or oil can compare with it
in that respect. To get the
best out of it, it must be
emulsifed and made like
cream. In SCOTS Emul-
sion it IS prepared in the
best possible form to pro
duce the best possible re
suits. Thirty years have
proven this.

Body Unrecovered.

Despite the ceasless search of
the young mans friends and
loved ones all efforts to recover
the body of Mr.. Henry Hum
phries, who was drowned in this
city two weeks ago today, have
failed. The receding waters and
the recovery of the young man s
coat lead the searchers to hope
that his body would be recovered
but up to yesterday it was unlo-
Gated.
1t is beginning to be feared
that it will never be recovered.
It is feared that it is at the bot
toni of the river or has been lost
in some drift or sand bed and
will never again be recovered.
All the week the sand bars and
drift piles and the oVerfowed
section have been searched and
scanned without result. It looks
now that the body is lost and will
possibly never be recovered.

Miller is Cauaht.

J.-F. siiller. who during last
fall was employed as assistant
bookkeeper at the local mill of
the Refuge Cotton Oil Co.. and
who about Christmas time ap-
propriated $3.50 of the company s
funds and skipped out. has been
arrested. He was captured in
New Orleans last Wednesday,
one of the German laborers who
accompanied Miller to this city
pointing him cut as being wanted
for EN- mbeZlement in Columbus.
It will be remem bered that
Miller came here early last fall
in charge of a lot of German
laborers who were brought here
to work in various mills and
factories. He was a man of good
address and polished manners,
and Capt. w. G. Mcclure, the
local manager of the Refuge
Cotton Oil Co., was so favorably
i'm pressed with him that he gave
him employment as foreman in
the mill. Miller performed his
duties so satisfactorily that he
was soon promoted to the posi-
tion of assistant bookkeeper and
in this capacity had access to
the funds of the company.
Christmas last year came on
Sunday and the following Mon
day was generally observed as a
holiday. On that day Miller en-
tered the Office and took $4,000
from the safe. On the same
night he left town, and the theft
was not discovered until the fol-
lowing day, when the safe was
opened and the money found to
be missing. The matter was re-
ported to the general Office of
the company in Mem phis, and
detectives were put on the man S
trail. They have been at work
on the case ever since. and final
" located their man in New Or
leans. As stated above, he viii
be brought back to Columbus
and viii be held to await the ac-
tion of the grand jury.

The Cotton Market.

In their daily letter to Messrs.
Hayward, Harry & Goldstein on
yesterday Messrs. Hayward,
Wick & Clark, the New Orleans
correspondents of the firm, re-
port a quiet market, and give as
a reason therefor that the prices
offered are not high enough to
tempt holders of cotton. who
feel confident that there will
soon be rise in the market. The
prices prevailing in New Orl cans
brought large offers from Mem
phis, Mobile and Savannah.
These offers, however, met no
response on the part of factors
and brokers, who, as stated
above. are all holding out for
higher prices. The following
are the quotations at the close of
business yesterday: New York
spots. 80; July futures in New
York, Isl; New Orleans spots,

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
t h execution o { deYilish
schemes. He may not tell a white
man even if he knows the where
abOuts of the most depraved ne
gro felOn, because he thinks that
the on.y objectionable sin that a
negro can com NIT is to inform a
white man of a crime com mitted
by negro against white man.
At the same time this negro,
though he will shield criminal
of his own race, may himself be
otherwise correct in his own life.
And that is one of the greatest
difficulties in this extraordinary
situation.
What shall be done?
The answer is simple.
Let the law be enforced.
Let there be at once in every
county in the State OF Mississ-
ippi most vigorous cam paign
against the vagrant-the vicious
idler and the keepers of dives of
infamy.
Let the rendezvous of the rap
| ist, the murderer. the crap
shooter and the blind tiger be
closed.
In other words. enforce the
law. The law of the land is am
pie even in this emergency, If
only rigidly enforced, and it's en-
forcement is the only prophylac-
tic for this social distem per-
Fail to enforce the law and the
mob will usurp the function
which you should perform, but
which you have betrayed.
There is no time for hesitation,
for he who dallies is bastard,
and he who doubts is damned
[ am aware of the fact that the
officers of the law in the per-
formance of their duty in this re
gard will encounter opposition
from some eminently respectable

who have houses to rent. and
others in the country who will
insist that labor is being driven
from the State. but such specious
arguments should be of no avail
with white man or officer who
has the welfare of his State at
heart. Let me insist that the
officer treat such opposition as
he would any other class of
criminals, for | hold that a man
who, for pecuniary profit, would
imperil the fair name of woman
or the peace of the community
by renting a house to a person
whose business he knows to be
dangerous to the morals of that
com munity is himself a greater
enemy to society than his Grim :
inal tout.
CLOSING DOOR OF HOPE.
Much has been said about
closing the door of hope in the
face of the black man. Unless
the officers of the law do their
full duty in suppressing the in
creasing criminal tendency of
the negro. it looks to me like the
probability is that the door of
hope will be closed in the face of
the white man.

Officers of Mississippi. I ex-
pect you to do your duty. The
peace and order of your respec-
tive communities have been com
mitted to your keeping. Most of
the crimes that have been com
mitted by negroes upon white
women are traceable to your
neglect of duty.
I have yet to learn of single
crime of rape being com mitted
by a negro who made his living
by honest toll, and had you done
your duty in enforcing the law
against against vagrancy. the
beast who blighted the life of that
good woman might have been
on the county farm, working on
the streets or locked in prison.
Trusting that you may realize
the gravity and Importance of
your position, your responsible
ity to society and the necessity
for the vigorous performance of
your duty that you may b e
strong enough in the face of any
and all opposition to spurn any
influence that would deter you
from the performance of that
duty, I am, cordially and sincere

Sad To be Certain This Meeting
~ Citizens Called for Tuesday Evening.


Representatives of the electric line pro-
jected by the Dunkley- Williams Co.,
Messrs. Bardeen, Merriman and others,
were in town Tuesday in the interest of
the road. They stated positively that the
road will be in operation between South
Haven and Benton Harbor, and east as
far as Paw Paw by midsummer. They
did not promise the completion of the
Paw Paw-Kalamazoo end of the line this
season. We trust their promise will be
fulfilled, and we are sure all our people
will do what they can to help the project
along. There will be no trouble about
their securing a reasonable franchise in
Paw Paw village and township.
1t is stated they will ask no Assist
ance except in securing a right of way,
and this aid should be cheerfully ex-
tended, as it is certain Paw Paw and
vicinity sadly need better transportation
facilities.
A citizens meeting has been called to
be held at the common council room
Tuesday evening at 7:30, when repre-
sentatiyes of the company will be present.
Every citizen who has&he best interests
of Paw Paw at heart should attend.
