cock, white, charged with the murder
of Prof. ]. A. Troutman, of Canoe,
Ala, and Ben Starks. colored, charged
with grand larceny, escaped from the
county Jail here last night by saving
out the bars of the Jail door. The
jail is a new building of the latest
type of Jail construction, and 1t is
alleged the prisoners could not have
escaped but for the negligence Of the
jailor, Will Raley, who, it is stated,
not only neglected to lock them in
their cells but left them in the CORR
dor of the jail with only the bars of
the front door between them and free
dom.
The matter will be brought to the
attention Of the grand jury at the fall
term of the circuit court with a view
to Furnishing the person who permit
ted the escape
Hancock is charged with one of the
most brutal murders ever committed
in this county. It is charged that, on
the first day of January, 1905, he went
to Canoe, Ala, and waylaid Prof. J. A.
Troutman, who was a cripple and I'M
able to defend himself, and shot him
three times, each ief the bullets enter
ing the back Of his victim. His case
was before the last term Of the circuit
court but resulted in a mistrial, the
jury standing eleven to one for con.
viction.

NEW RAILROAD
REACHES QUINCY

Capt. w. B. Denham, general man
ager of the Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama Railway, says his road is NOV
ing forward in more directions than
one. This is a statement literally
true, says the Jacksonville Metropolis.
Il was last Saturday night that the
line extending from Havana to Quin-
cy was completed by laying the rails
into Quincy. The branch, which is
twelve and a half miles long, will not
be open to traffic, however, until May
18th. On the other end is the extern
sion from Cuthbert to Columbus. Ga.
The road is now operating between
Cuthbert and Apalachicols, which in
cludes a steamer line of thirty miles
between Carrabelle and Apalachicola.
A construction company, to have
charge Of the extension from Cuth-
bert to Columbus has been formed,
and will probably begin work very
soon. The people of Columbus are
considering a proposition from the
railroad company, and this will be
settled before construction is begun.
There can be little doubt that Co.
lumbus will make ethe concession ask
ed by the railroad. 1t offers a great
opportunity to develop the trade of
Columbus through the splendid Sec
ton opened by the road. Carrabelle,
Fla, will also be benefited commerce.,
ally by the extension, and should in
time develop into a port of consider
able Importance. Connection is made
at Carrabelle with Apalachicola steam
ers, and also with the Pensacola Com
pany and Chattahoochee river steam
ers.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth $4 or $5
a gallon, rut-on; how much is an
other paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons
you've got to put-on, to be equal
to one of Devoe.
Mr.. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa,
painted two houses one coat, five
years ago. lead-and-oil, took 40
gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Devoe for same houses; had 10 gal
Ions left.
Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y,
owns two houses exactly alike;
painted one with Devoe; took 6
gollons. The other with some
other; took IL gallons.
What'd you give for those off
paints? Bear in mind, you've got
to pay for the painting.
Yours truly

Blooming daily for your need;
Pluck them, OF they go to seed,

Kisses kept are musty,

Highest Honor and When His Term Shall
Expire Will Devote Remainder of His Life to Agriculture
PrthalBu
mFaorIibe aIApprp

1t is known of all men that the
welfare of the state has suffered at
times, in the past, by i'll feeling
and Intermediary strife engendered
and kept alive by the baleful fires
of factional politics. As hereto
fore stated, l am not the represen-
tative of any man, or set of men,
but if elected to the office of chief
executive of the state, l shall be
the servant of the whole people,
and l pledge myself i'll advance, to
give them, a non-factional admin
istration, and as l shall be altogether
untramnelled and une1nbarrassed
by factional or other alliances, /
shall be in position to discharge
the important duties of this ex-
alted Office without fear or favor,
and with an eye single to the best
interests of the whole people.
In conclusion let ME say, my
countrymen, that my campaign
will be conducted vigorously, in
dustriously and persistently at all
times, but always on a high and
honorable plane. 1t is unwise and
would prove detrimental, perhaps
to the best interests of the state, to
precipitate an active political con-
test in the way of public gatherings
and speeches until the coming fall
or winter, but l will endeavor, from
time to see as many of you as pos
sible i'll person, and later on, will
take pleasure i'll addressing the vo-
ters in each and every county of
the state as practical man, on the
political and practical issues of the
day. An open field and fair
fight is all l expect or desire and,
thereafter, 1 will cheerfulIy abide
your decision whatever it may
chace to be.
Iregard the governorshp of Mis-
sissippi as the highest honor that
can be enjoyed by southern man
of the present day. 1t was elevat
ed, if elevation was necessary, to a
position tar above that of the
United States senatorship, when
the great southerner, Jefferson
Davis, resigned his seat in that att
gust assembly to enter the guber
material contest in this, his adopt
ed state. If then I am elected by
you to this exalted Office, after
serving your interest for the full
term with answering fidelity and
ali the ability | may possess, I shall
thereafter be content to leave other
honors to your more worthy sons.
J AS for myself, l shall not become
candidate for the United States
senate under any conditions dur
ing the continuance or after the
expiration of my gubernatorial
term, but it will then be my pride
and pleasure to devote the remain
der of my allotted days to agricul
tural pursuits and to the service OF
our state and common country i'll
the honorable position Of private
citizen of this great common
wealth.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES SCOTT.

81 wonder that some mothers ever fret
At their precious dallings clinging to
their gown;
Or that their footprints when the days
are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown;
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket on my chamber
floor
III could kiss rosy, restless toot,
And hear it patter in the house once
more.
If could mend broken cart today,
Tomorrow make kite 10 reach the
sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could
She was more biissfully content than l.;
But ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shinin g head!
My singing birding from it's nest has
flown
My little boy used to kiss is-dead." ;"

SOME RACE PROBLEMS.

Fate has played mean trick on
General J. Warren Keifer. The
General, as a member of Congress
from the Springfield, Ohio, district
is author of bill which proposes
to cut down the representation in
Congress of those Southern States
which have disfranchised most of
their negro citizens. The proposal
is: either let the negro vote, as
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution intended that he
should, or cease sending men to
the House of Representatives and
electoral college whose title to sit
in those bodies is based on negro
population. AS a means to help
the blacks or to punish their op-
preesors, the measure was sure OF
a considerable sympathy in the
North. But Just as tbe GenSral
was in the midst of his campaign
for it, an important number of his
own home city, set about enthusi-
asticaliy to mob the black popula-
ton, drive them out of town, burn
their dwellings, and in general,
create a condition of existence for
negro citizens which would make
mere disfranchisement look like
Just and joyous state.
This is the trouble with race pre-
iudice. AS a condition existing
far away from home it could be
discussed and disposed of with
enlightened certainty, But about
two times out of three, when there
are enough men of different color
on anything like competitive foot
ing, it comes home. Then it is
more complicated Saturday Eve
