ZIG DAY AT
/; JACKSON
Plans On Arrangement and Enter
tainment Now Being Made--
Thousands VIII Visit the
Capital City on that Day

The city Of Jackson is all agog over
the prospect of a visit from Colonei
and Mrs. w. ]. Bryan on next Satur-
day week. the 2zd inst. 1t did not
become generally known until late
yesterday evening that Governor Var
daman had received the telegralr
from Colonel Bryan making the ap-
pointment, or rather suggesting the
appointment for the day specified,
and the news was received with gen.
uine interest wherever it was heard
The Board of Trade of Jackson at
once took up the matter of arrange
ments, and before the business hours
had fairly opened today a letter had
been outlined to all railroad officials
asking for low rate within a radius
of hundred miles of Jackson for
that occasion, and with no doubt that
such rate would be granted by the
railroads from business standpoint
if from no other.
Already plans are on foot to secure
adequate auditorium facilities, as it
is realized that there is no inclosed
building in the city that would be like
ly 10 meet the requirements of the
occasion. 1t is thought probable that
the new sheds and platform of the
Gulf Compress Company will be Sc
cured for the occasion, as upon that
area several thousand people could be
accommodated and come within the
was any certainty as to the weather
conditions at that time, there would
be no hestancy in at once arranging
to use either Poindexter or Smith
the people, if hard on the speakers,
who do not, as rule. take kindly to
open-air oratory.
1t is planned to have the speech
making take place during the after
noon, and in the evening to give Col
onel and Mrs. Bryan, who will be the
guests Oh Governor and Mrs Narda-
man, reception at the Executive
Mansion. But no definite arrange
ments of any kind have been made,
and will probably not be for several
days, though it is taken for grantee
that the arrangements will be in &C
cordance with the significance of the
visit of the man who is considered the
logical nominee of his party for the
presidency next year, and is looked
upon by not few as the next Presi-
dent of the United States.

arrested charged with the
fully confessed and states that - !,
killed Sexton with an axe for
purpose of robbery n
The murder was brutal and
bloody one, the old man being killed
without shadow of a chance He
was fishing there with his brother,
who had gone down the river to look
at his nets when the negro came up
astensibly to buy fish but really to
murder and rob him. After the muir
der, Otes walked into Inverness
where he was captured by Marshal
Mckenzie, who. in company with
Deputy Sheriff Bradley, brought him
to Indianola and lodged him in jail
Adams went back to picking cot
ton and was arrested by Bradley
yesterday morning. He completely
denies all connection with the kill
ing, but the proof, aside fro notes
confession, is quite conclusive.
Sheriff Avent worked hard for the
arrest of these negroes, riding to the
scene OF the killing and following up
with Deputy Lindsey, the uncertain
trail that terminated in the arrest of
the murderers and his energetic work
is deserving of high praise.
Now that the negroes have been
arrested and the people have decided
to let the law take its course, we
think the court should act promptly
and while giving the accused fair
trial there should be no unnecessary
delay in them reaching the fate they
so richly merit.
Mr. Sexton, the victim, is well
known in this city where, as a fish
erman, he has lived for many years.
The report of his foul murder by
the negro hends was received with
sadness and all hope to see them get
the full penalty of law-hanging by
law as early date as possible.

he started to do so, he saw B1anch-
ards position and said he would go
and get a shot gun as he did not
care to take any chances. When he
returned, Mr.. Stevenson, the Mayor
of Morehead and personal friend Of
found Mr. Blanchard in the ladies'
toilet After talking and reasoning
with him for a few minutes, he gave
Mr. Stevenson his pistols and left the
showed he was a badly beaten up
man.
The negro porter who was shot in
the smoker was attended by DR..
Stone, of Memphis, and pronounced
seriously shot He was taken off the
train at Morehead and sent to this
city-on the midnight train. He is
still improving and will soon be we'll.
Mr. Blanchard, the young man who
did the shooting, comes from one OF
the best families in the State and has
always been looked upon as an ex-
emplary young man but the thoughts
of defeat or the irnbibing too freely
of straights or toddies, may be the
direct cause of his using the bad
Language he did in the presence or
young girls and terrorizing the pas
sengers of the train.
The affair is very much regretted
by all of the family's friends
His preliminary trial will come Oft
next week at Indianola.

SHOW ON EARTH

OCTOBER 3.
A Description If the Two Twirls
of Terror" and the dip of
Death"-Daring Feats that
Thrill With Horror

The Two Twiris of Terror" is the
rather startling title of new bicycle
sensation that has been introduced
to the American public by the Bar
mum & Bailey circus this season The
Two Twirls of Terror" is an import
ed act, and had its premiere at the
Foiies Bergcre. in Paris, last winter.
Although a development of the fam
Gus Volo bicycle act, which was first
made known to the American public
by the Barnum & Bailey management
1t has several original features quite
peculiar to itself, and the statemen,
that it is the most dangerous per
Torrance ever attempted by cyclists
can readily be credited
The Boiler Brothers, who present
men, and before presenting the dual
climax OF their remarkable act, they
introduce number of novel and I'M
usual exploits on their machines.
John, one of the brothers, then as
cends to the top OF an incline, and,
mounting his wheel, waits, amid al
most breathless silence, for the signal
to start upon his perilous journey
down the incline and into space.
Presently the signal is given, the
wheel descends the runway with
frighttul velocity, darts into the air,
turns somersault, and, landing on d
second runway, runs swiftly to the
ground. Before the applause that
greets this startling exploit has sub
sided, the daring rider has ascended
a high pedestal, placed over one end
OF d teeter-board, and again mounted
his wheel. Louis, his brother, also
mounted, takes a position at the other
end of the see-saw, thus depressing
It. Suddenly, wheel and rider drop
from the lofty perch and strike the
uptilted teeterboard with terrific
force. The tremendous impact
throws the second bicyclist into the
air He also accomplishes a distinct
sonaefsaults and, dropping to a cush-
ion on the track, still mounted,
wheels away unframed These per-
fornances, it is said, are so sensa-
tional and, at the same time, are per-
formed with such lightning rapidity,
that the audience is almost bewild-
cred. Nne New York newspaper
writer, in describing the effect of the
act upon the crowd, said: at is SIM
ply paralyzing!" And this seems to
BE the consensue of press opinion.
The 1.-TWO Twirls of Terror is not
the only. sensational. novelty that the
Barnum & Bailey curcus announces
for presentation when the big show
exhibits here in Greenville The
dip of Death" which was first in
troduced last season, by this show,
but which was not seen in this section
of the country, will be presented with
all its thrilling and startling details.
In this act, a young American girl
rides forty feet through space in an
inverted automobile. Judging from
description of the act, it is most
appropriately named

SHOT UP
THE TRAIN
jim BLANCHARD, OF BELzONI
CREATES REIGN OF TERROR.
Goes After Dave Wallace in Real
Old Western Style-One Of the
Most. pisgraceful Shooting
Affairs in Years.

A disgraceful scene occurred in the
sleeper of the East bound Southern
train last Saturday evening, as the
train was leaving Indianola. The
participants of the affair were Mr..
Jim Blanchard, cotton seed buyer.
for the Belzoni Oil Mill, and Mr..
Dave Wallace, retail liquor dealer
of Belzoni
FROM the testimony Of those who
were IN the car at the time of the
trouble, it seems that there has been
kind Of whiskey fight on at Bel
zoni and Mr.. Blanchard championed
the cause of prohibition. This fight
the whiskey men won out in and
Mr. Wallace, it seems, was in Green
vile that day to get his license when
he told Mr.. Blanchard of getting his
license it looked like he got very
mad and he called Wallace vile names
whereupon Wallace raised up and
deliberately struck him eight times
about the face and heal Knives were
drawn but men interfered and Wal
lace left Blanchard, going into the
smoking apartment Of the sleeper at
the front end.
In the sleeper, on their way to
Georgetown College, while the fight
was going on was Mr.. Seth Wheat
ley's son and daughter and young
lady friend also. Mr.. Kellner's two
sons, and Capt Scruggs son, togeth-
er with several gentlemen passengers.
After the fight several of the stu
dents also went into the smoker. 1t
was while in there, that Blanchard
remarked he would make a corpse Of
Wallace, got up, went to his grip,
took out two pistols and with one
III each hand, started down the aisle
toward the smoker apartment of the
car where Wallace was. In the end
OF the smoker is a large plate glass
mirror and when Blanchard saw him
self in that, no doubt, taking it for
the other man coming to meet him
with ieveled guns, he began to fire
as he did SO, young man Just sitting
behind him told him TO ''shoot high"
which was, no docbt, largely respons-
IDLE for no more being shot in the
smoker than the poor negro porter
After the shooting the entire train
was full of excitement, some started
into the sleeper but the conductor
of same kept all back, stating the
man was drunk or crazy and had re-
loaded his guns and somebody else
would be murdered The train was
then stopped and the young ladies
came out of the sleeper frightened
and crying-wth them was Mr.
Scruggs' son and other students,
Passengers of the train demanded
the arrest of Blanchard by the con-
ductor, but Capt Johnson said, as
everybody was ont of the car, that
to wait till the train got to Baird
A passenger on the train was sta
toned at the door of the sleeper
with gun to prevent his entering the
other coaches
At Baird the conductor called to
the constable or marshall to arrest
the man but he refused on grounds
he had no commission.
The train was then speeded to
Morehead and the Marshall was
called upon to make the arrest When
