Does Sumter county want the branch

amount necessary to secure it, The
institution will not come as a gift. but
will cost money.
Although Gov. Terrell has not adver
tised bids to be made in accordance
with the requirements of the act for
the location of these colleges, he has
already received offers from twenty
five or thirty countieP, which are anx-
ious to haYe them.
There are 145 counties in the. state,
and it is not unlikely that everyone of
these will want the agricultural college
which will 60 to the district in which
it is located.
Under the terms of the act the coun-
ty which gets the college must give
not less than 300 acres, but must also
supply the necessary buildings, and
the county which stands ready to put
up the largest amount of cash for
buildings is likely to land.
OF the offers SO far received one
county promises 300 acres and 10000
for buildings. This is the most of TWEEN
ty five which hsYe been made. The
name of the county Is withheld because
the people who have made the Offer
fear strenuous competition.
Gov. Terrell will soon advertise for
bids for all the eleven colleges to be
established, the bids to be opened Octo

CLAIM THEY ARE SLAVES
Nine Missourians Charged With
Violating the Constitution.
DEAD LINE ESTABLISHED THERE
laborers Are Forbidden to Cross Il
-Ante-HeIIum Days Recalled by
Motley Crowds.

Charged by indictment with con-
spiracy to violate. the thirteenth
amendment of the Constitution pro-
hibiting slavery. nine Missourians
went to trial in the United States dis.
trict court at Cape Giaradeau, Mo.
The %defndants are Charles M. Smith,
James Smith, Rex Smith, and Charles
M. Smith, Jr., Lee Rogers, William
Woods, Benjamin Stone, Benjamin
Fields and Floyd Woods.
The Smiths own 10000 acres or
more of southeast Missouri drained
land. A few years 6 1t was swamp
land and of small value. They have
drained the land. For the proper cul-
tivation of this land they needed a
large force of men, and this spring
they secured about 40 negroes from
Memphis and Cairo. Three months
after the negroes were brought to
New Madrid, the Smiths were arrest
ed and indicted charged with holding
the negroes In a state of slavery.
The negroes, who are witnesses, tell
stories that sound much like those
of the real days of slavery. One said
a foreman was whipping him for
some act of INSTRUMENTATION and he re-
sisted. The foreman struck him with
a club in such a way that his eye was
put out. Another tells of a blow on
the ankle months ago from the effects
of which he is still lame. All say 1t
was customary on the farm for the
foreman to use a blacksnake whip or
club whenever a negro d~ispleased
him.
They told how six men dug a hole
in the floor and escaped in the night.
Several said they had worked three
or four months without pay of am
kind, but after the arrests they receiv-
ed some pay.
A negro whose wife was with him
said he was allowed to go to town on
errands. but not permitted to take his
wife. Most of the negroes, he said,
were not allowed to leave the farm,
There were day guards and night
guards with Winchesters, who kent
the negroes under constant guard, and
some negroes were shot in attempt
ing to leave.
