SEVERAL CASES NEAR THERE

An unsuccessful attempt was
made last Saturday to rob the rural
carrier of Route No. /, out of Ben

from dense wood and as it happen
ed the mail man saw them in time to
apply the lash to his pony and, for a
mile, there was the prettiest race

for many years. The carrier finally
distanced them, and chagrined and
defeatsd they returned to their home
in the deep woods and have not been
seen since.
There have been several robbers
in this neighborhood lately. The

unsuccessful attempt TO rob Mr.Ivey

If YOU ARE A
DEMOCRAT
OR IF YOU ARE NOT YOU WILL
WANT TO READ
BRYAN'S COMMONER
svlLLE.

On March 18th the Commoner an
nounced the Primary Pledge organi-
zation plan. This plan provides for
democvrats to sign pledge, binding
themselves to attend all primaries of
their party between now and the ma
tienal campaign in 1908. 1t is a prac-
teal method for the organization of
the party by the rank and file, in or
der that it may prove true to its name
and be the efficient servant Of the
people in the establishment Of re-
form. A little investigation will con-
vince you that The Commoner has hit
upon feasible and effective method
of persuading democrats to partici-
pate in the councils Of their party.
These pledges are pouring into The
Commoner Office by the thousands,
where they are carefully fled by state,
county. and voting precinct.

LEAKEsvLE, MISS,

The thorough restocking of game
covers Is urged IN report issued to
tne department of Agriculture in a
report on "Game Conditions in Jan
uary." Now that the hunting season
Is practically over" the report says,
the biological survey suggests that
efforts be directed towards insurine
more effective protection of game and
an adequate supply for the future
Owing to the non-migratory charac-
ter Of quail, and the consequent de-
pletion Of various localities where
hunting has been excessive or the
birds have been killed off by the Sc
verify of the past two winters, re-
stocking is frequently necessary, and
the demand for live birds for this pur-
pose far exceeds the available supply.
The difficulty is augmented by the
fact that Southern birds are scarcely
hardy enough to stand Northern WIN
ters, and hence it is difficult for Nor
thern states to secure birds suited to
th&limate.'

"My visit to the Philippines has
been very interesting and instructive,
and l appreciate the facilities af-
forded me by the civil and military
authorities for a thorough inves.i-
cation Of the Filipinos. This has
enabled me to collect much knowledge
which I hope to use for the benefit
of both the American people and the
Filipinos.

Meriwether Trial.

Annapolis, Whether or not,
Minor Meriwether, Jr., of Lafayette,
La, is to continue his career as a mid
shipman in the United States Navy
rests with the decision of the general
court-martial which has been in ses-
sion here for the last three weeks try
ing midshipmen on charges of hazing.
James M. Monroe, counsel for the
accused, made a forceful plea for ac-
quittal. During the course Of his ar
gument he pointed out that young
Meriwether had been the victim of
chain of unfortunate circumstances,
and while the testimony of both sides
showed that the Louisiana lad had
caused certain "plebes" to do the
"stunts," termed as "hazing," /" it
also showed that the young man had
entered into the pranks with the spir-
it of frolicsome fun, and that the ac-
cused did not in any way mean to be
harsh with the new boys and treat
,hem cruelty, as has been done in
some cases.
in view of this, he asked the court
to weigh carefully all Of the connec-
tions with the case before rendering
its decision. Mr.. Monroe dwelt at
some length upon the Hazing Law,
stating that it was a harsh one, in
that dismissal was prescribed as pun
ishment for every offense, no matter
however trivial. He further said
that, in the present instance, the Su-.
perintendent of the Naval Academy
could infict ample punishment by
Ihe assignment Of dement's.

The Statehood Bill was under con-
sideration by the Senate Committee
on Territories. A number of minor
changes were agreed upon. Among
the amendments discussed was one
for the insertion of a prohibition
provision for the Indian Territory
similar to the House provision, and it
will probably be incorporated in the
bill. The question Of joint Statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico was not
brought up. There is no intention of
reporting the bill until after the
House acts. Friends of the bill claim
that all the Republican members Of
the committee and one Democratic
member, Mr. Clark, of Arkansas, will
favor the reporting of the measure
substantially as it was introduced.
The full strength Of the Republican
insurgent' vote against the bill
was canvassed during the conference
and estimated at forty-one With a
full attendance of the stalwarts"
this vote can be overcome. The bill
will be accompanied in the House by
rule prohibiting the division of the
Statehood question. 1t is estimated
that two days will be occupied.
