She walked into Johns den. and l heard her giving him the very dick ems in that peevish voice of hers. Pretty soon I guess his head hurt him con- siderably, for he answered back some thing awful, and then the fight was on.

New York, March l9.--Resolutions denouncing the New York police de- partmeut for failure to suppress tho so-caIIod white slave" evil. and arr raigning wealthy people who own houses leased to traffickers in human souls" were adopted today by the Methodist preachers meeting.
 The resolutions are based upon dlS- closures which grew out of the triaI of Rerthe Claiche for the murder of Emil Gerdron and the subsequent ar rest of Robert H. Spriggs, the keeper of a negro resort.
 The resolutions assert that "dens of vice and crime such as have been discovered are a danger to the fair name of our city, and the wealthy owners of property used for immoral purposes should be held equally re- sponsible with the inmates"

 The material was black messaline. IL was made princess with shirred enec' through the waist line and over lns nd hips. Above this the waist was shirred on the shoulders, and there was shaped white lace vest. On either side of this there were two straps, which crossed below the bust and fastened each with it's jeweled button of tur- auois and brilliants. The sleeves were similarly decorated with two crossed straps held down with buttons. This held the fullness of the sleeve very high. Below the straps the sleeves were shirred, and they were prettlly finished of at the edge with white frllls of the same lace as the yoke.

Killing Grew Out of Burt's Attention
to Johnson's Wife-Deputy Sher-
iff Beck Arrested johnson

On Thursday afternoon, March 20
Grant johnson shot and killed another
negro by the name of John Burt just
over the county line in Montgomery
county near Elliott station. The two
had not been on the best of terms for
quite a while, Johnson alleging that
Burt was too attentive to bis (John-
SOn's) wife and that he had been the
means of alternating her affections for
him. johnson affirmS that he had re-
peatedly warned Burt to keep away
from his home. At the time the kill
ing occurred Burt was walking along
the railroad in the company of John
sons wife.
Both negroes lived in the same COM
munity and Johnson was tenant on
the farm of Mr.. A. Olson.
Immediately after the killing.
Sheriff CrOwder was notified and at
)nce dispatched Deputy Sheriff Beck

Johnson in custody and carried him
before Justice Cowan at Duck Hill on
Friday morning, who committed him

Mr.. j. S. DriSkell, a well-tO-dO and
prosperous farmer living near Elliott
Station, while ploughinS near the
banks of Bogue river on his farm a
few days ago, exhumed three human
skeletons, one of which was that of
an exceedingly large man. One of the
other two was evidently that of a
youth and the third that of a medium
sized man. With the skeletons were
found beads, the tuSkS of wild ami

inch and a half long shaped some
thing like the end of a spoon handle,
pieces of earthenware and other trim
ketS indicative Of the lives and char

are unqueStiOnably those of Indians

the writer is not meaning war on the
banks, we fail to see the Justice in
an additional tax on railroads.
From the reports it seems that they
are already paying more than their

the fact that the railroad commission

THREE ANT|-L|QUOR LAWS
Legislature Means to Trim Still

WHOLESALE LIQUOR HOUSES FOUGHT THEM
possession of More Than One Gallon
OF Liquor, and Receiving lntoxi.
cants, Among Them

\ jackson, Miss.-Despite the stron
adverse criticism made by the whole
sale liquor houses, Senator Mcneil i
cOnfldent that his three bills aimed a
the G. 0. d. liquor traffic, and passe,
10 the senate by large majOrities, ar
strictly within the limits of the con
stitution, and that they can be rigidly
enforced.
ldentically the same measures have
heretofore been passed in the house
having been offered by Mr.. Smith OF
Holmes, one of the leaders i'm the
nght against c. 0 ID. liquor traffic,
ana meeting of the senate commit
tee on liquor traffic will be held soon
to determine which body shall concur
In the others bills. The matter will
probably be disposed of by inserting
the provisions of the proposed laws in
the dram shop chapter of the code
which is now pending in the house.
In discussing the three bills Senator
McNeill said:
Senate Bill No. 1872 prohibits any
person in a local option community
from having in possession more than
one-half gallon Of c. O. ID. liquor, and
making possession of more than that
quantity prima facie evidence of in
tentlon to sell same in violation of
the law. This is aimed. directly at the
Z. .. ID. shipments after they reach
the conSignee. and while the federal
statutes declare liquor an article of
commerce at the same time our police
power is recognized, and we can regu-
late the use OF liquor after it comes
within our jurisdiction. In fact, the
constitution gives us a police power
strong TO prohibit the
drinking Of whiSkey in local option
Senate Bill No. 1853 declares that
there shall be no property rights in
liquor in a local option community,
thus making such liquor cOntrabrand |
stun, and allowing the local authori- |
les to seize G. o. ID. shipments after
delivery to consignee. This can be
lSed effectively in breaking I'D the |
,ra6'c. The person receiving a C.. o. ID.
shipment can be deprived Of same I
Immediately after receiving it. and
his law is also within the scope of
,ur police powers.
senate Bill No. I64 makes the act
4 receiving Intoxicating liquors sold
violation of law miSdemeanOr.
n other words, the party who buys
quor from blind tiger can be pun
shed. This does not apply particu-
lrly to the G. O. ID. traffic, but it
'lll certainly serve To discourage the
atronage OF the Illicit retailing joints
nd L am convinced that it is also
institutional, for the law now de-
ares person knowingly receiving
5olen goods equally guilty with the
rlncipal, and we can make the same Z
leory apply to liquor sold in viola
on uf law, and purchased by persons :
