We spent a short while in
Sturgis Monday and met quite a
number of people. Sturgis is
quite lively town and the mer-
chants have full stocks Of gen.
eraln. merchandise. They are
looking for a good trade through
the entire season. The lumber
interest is considerable there and
is increasing all the time,

The Negro and Cocaine.

Mayor Woodward of Atlanta
gives it as his opinion that the
crimes which provoked the fatal
race brawls in that city we're in.
cited by cocaine and vile liquor.
1t is known that the cocaine
vice is growing among negroes.
They take to it as naturally as
a Chinaman does to opium. The
last Legislature of this State
passed law forbidding the sale
of the drug except upon a physi-
clans prescription. and it is much
to be regretted that little atten.
ton is paid the law, especially in
the Delta, where the negroes in
sist that cocaine is as necessary
to them as bread and meat; that
it gives them new life.
The habit is a bad one. Ii
weakens the negro who follows
it; makes him a maniac if he can
not procure it, and often crazes
and makes demon Of him. Ii
should be broken up. if necessary
to pass a law to prevent it's sale
in Mississippi altogether.
The cocaine habit is growing.
The moral and physical degener'
acy induced by the use of this
drug is such that every State in
which pegrOes arc numerous
would do we'll to put forth es-
peclal efforts to rertrict It's sale.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE.

a meeting of the citizens to be
held at the Court House Friday
night resulted in the desired
effect. The Court House was
brilliantly illuminated with cleo
tric and some kerosene lamps,
IN fitting contrast of progress
and scientific discoveries and
beautiful ferns and flowers stand
ing out in bold relief in beauty
and granduer as inspirators to
the speakers zeal, earnestness
and eloouence to participate IN
and form a part Of the grand
scheme then being enacted.
The College Band was the first
to play most interesting part
on this most important occasion.
The sweet strains Of music IN
front Of the Court House which
tloated upon the October breezes
of a most auspicious evening,
were enchanting most harmo
nious and unquestlonably in
vlting to everyone. The invita-
ton was rightly construed and
most generously accepted. Our
community most sincerely and
kindly tenders its thanks to the
very efficient leader and the &C,
complished members. May your
lives each and everyone ever be
inspiring as on this occasion.
Col. Simon Fried and Miss M
Montgomery were unanimously
elected president and secretary.
The speakers chosen for the
occasion were Profs. J. q. Hardy,
Glenn Herrick, B. M. Walker.
and A. B. Mckay, of the College,
J. A. Lamb of our Public School,
Hons. w. w. Magruder and b.
F. Bell, here. Hon. W, n. Nash
was absent from the city and
DR.. J. S. Montgomery otherwise
engaged did not respond. The
addresses were all good and we'll
received. It was our misfortune
IN have to absent Ourself after
the speaking. but the League
was most thoroughly organized
and officered in every detail. 1t
is unnecessary to say that the
temporary president and secre-
tary were made permanent, to-
oether with others whose names
we we're unable to procure.
The society very much appre-
ciated the Decoration Committee
for the occasion, Mrs. j. IL.
Smith. Chairman, assisted by
the Misses Smith. Sadie Holll-
dav and Virginia Saunders.

Mrs. Tattle paid visit to her friend the
other day.
Mrs. Gossip, pleasant lady, living just
across the way.
There she touched upon some rumors
she had heard the day before,
And their tongues, thus set to wagging,
went it for an hour or more,
And the housegirI stopped her labors,
leaned her head upon the broom,
Listening to the conversation in the
next adjoining room,
And the housecat ceased it's purring
long enough to steal outside,
While the sympathetic parrot broke
completely down and cried.
Then the housegirl told the milkman
when he called upon the beat,
And the milkman, genial fellow, rang it
up and down the street.
Then the breezes seized upon it as they
would thistle down,
And like straws, they swiftly blew it
here and there about the town.
At the grocer's twas the subject of the
loafer's ribald jest,
And the entertaining landlord served
it to his latest guest
Each one adding something to it, till
alas, for very shame.
What at first was just rumor burst
into roaring flame.
Then the fair originators, learning of
the rumor's pace,
Held a hurried onsultation-started
out to give it chase,
Like a will-o-wisp elusive, rising from
The bogs at night,
Did the hunted rumor dodge them,
never stopping in its flight,
As the Fox, with pack pursuing, turns
to double on the trail,
So it left them in confusion-alI the
hunt of no avail.

Gossip, didn't know

CONDITION OF LEWIS.

Mr.. Robert p. Lewis, of Honolulu, who
was committed to st. Elizabeth s a few
weeks ago, because of his queer conduct
and threats to police court officials,
has been declared incurably insane. He
was taken before United States Mar.
shal s jury here in the district and a
trial held as to his sanity, in accord
with the provisions of District of Col
umbia law. The physicians say his
malady is beyond treatment. He labors
under the delusion that he has a special
mission to perform with Congress to
convince it of errors on the Mormon
question. For that reason he wants to
stay in Washington. His brother, A. II.
Lewis, of Moorland, Cal, has been sup
plying him with money and it may be
that the insane man will be sent to
California, provided this brother wishes
it. 1t has been stated that he made
threats against President Roosevelt,
but that was an error. Delegate Kala.
nianaole and Mr.. Mcclellan have been
over to st. Elizabeth g, which is a few
miles from the city, to see Lewis and to
make sure that everything is being
done for his comfort.

treaty between that country and the,
Hawaiian kingdom was negotiated
Mr.. Bush was Minister of the Inte-
rior here, yet bore a leading part in
managing the preliminaries of the
treaty at this end of the line. Prior to
entering the ministry, Mr.. Bush had
been acting as private secretary to
King kalakaua and aided him in shap-
ing the features of the treaty.
After some correspondence il was de-
signed to send an embassy to Japan.
w. NJ. Gibson, Minister of Foreign At
fairs, proposed S. T. Alexander as the
envoy. Mr.. Bush insisted on having a
native Hawaiian commissioned, con-
tending that II would be futile to send
white man, and when his point was
gained and John NJ. Kapena appointed,
Mr.. Bush stood out again for a native
as secretary. John l.. Kaulukou was
appointed secretary to Mr.. Kapena.
About this time Mr.. Burlingame,
United States Minister to China. called
at Honolulu on the way to his post.
He was consulted on the matter of the
proposed treaty and returned discour-'
aging advice. Mr.. Burlingame told
, the king that It would be useless for
the Hawaiian Islands to attempt a
scheme for obtaining immigration from
Japan when all other nations doing so
had failed.
Mr.. Bush replied to the eminent
American diplomats argument that
Hawaifs object was not merely to pro-
cure labor supply. but also to gain
an infusion of new blood by amalga-

waiians. This was his reason for want<
