Banks Mayo, on the charge OF
hazing, was taken up by the
court marshal of the naval acad

Midshipman Jno. NJ, Sloan said
that the defendant made him
stand on his head about two min
utes.
Midshipman Hugh Allen, who
was the first witness introduced
by the defense. said that he had
been Mr.. Mayo's room mate for
year and a half, and heard the
defendant express the opinion
that no mem Der Of the y. NJ { a.
should engage in hazing. Mayo
was mber of this association
and editor of a \, NJ. G. A. paper
designed to give newcomers sug-
gestiOns.
Lieu tenant Commander Chas.
B. McVay, Jr., stated that Mayo
was a prominent mem Der of the
Y. NJ. G. A, and it had come to
his knowledge that the defend

WILL HOLD REUNION
The Members of Fifth Inn
munes Are Arranging
for Reunion Here.

Colum bus retains very pleas
ant reccollections of the Fifth I'm
munes, which regiment was mo-
bilized here during the summer
of 1898, and it will be welcome
news to them that a reunion of
the mem bers of the regim ent
will probably be held here at an
early date. Capt. Walton Shields,
who was a popular mem Der of
this com mand, is at the head of
the movement looking towards a
reunion, and the meeting will
probably take place some time
during the early spring.
Mum bered among the officers
of the Fifth Immunes were some
of the most elegant gentlemen
that ever composed any military
body, among them having been
Coy. Vardaman, Col. Sargent,
Lieut.. Col. Wylie, Capt. Shields
and many other fine military
men and genial, whole souled
gentlemen. The proposed reunion
will bring to Columbus men of
this calibre, and it is needless to
say that they will be extended
most con dial welcome.

Col. 0'NeiII CompIimented.

Col. Il. j. O'Neill has returned
from Iuka, where he went to pre-
side over the midwinter term of
Circuit Court for Tishimingo
county, having been appointed
special judge by Gov. Vardaman.
Col. O'Neill found a crowded
docket, which he dispatched with
as much haste as the i'm portance
of the cases would permit, and
that he found favor with the peo-
pie of Tishimingo county is at
tested by the following extract
from the report of the grand
jury:
We especially desire to con-
graduate our people and our
selves in the presence of his
honor Judge t. J. O'Neill, in
holding for US the term of court.
His courtesy to US, his manner
on the bench, his impartial rul-
ings and his passing sentences,
in fact all his acts have been the
subject of universal approval.

TOUR OF INSPECTION
Legislative Committee Ex.
peCted to Visit |. |. & G..
Tomorrow.

The joint com mittee on educa-
tional affairs from the house and
senate. which is to make a tour
of inspection of the leading
educational institu tions of the
State for the purpose of inQuir-
ing into their needs and require
ments. is expected to reach this
city tomorrow. The committee
began it's work at Oxford yester-
day, the State University at that
place having been the first insti-
tuition visited The committee
was expected to have completed
its work there yesterday, and ac
cording to schedule will be in
Starkville to-day The day will
be spent in inspecting the A.
and M. College at that place, and
tomorrow the lawmakers are eX-
pected to arrive here for the
purpose of beginning an inquiry
into the needs and requirements
of the Industrial Institute and
College.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the mem bers of the com mittee
will be favorably and forcibly i'm
pressed with the needs of the In
dustrial Institute and College,
for the institu tion is not only ac-
complishing a great work for the
white girls of Mississippi, but
it's scope is constantly broaden
ing. There is a continuous in.
crease in the attendance and a
corresponding increase in ex-
renseS follows as natural Sc
quence. In his biennial report
to the legislature President Kin
cannon shows that during the
period of two years which the
report covers, no less than 1440
young ladies have attended the
school, the enrolment for the
present session being in round
mum bers about 500. The dOrmi-
tories are at present in a crowded
condition. so crowded in fact that
it has been necessary to secure
accommodations in private resi-
denceS for quite a mum Der of stu
dents; a new chemical labora-
tory, additional equipment for
class rooms and a mum Der of
other improvements are badly
needed, while additional dormi-
tory facilities are almost an ab-
sOlute necessity.
Not only is the Industrial In
stitute and College doing a great
work for the girls of Mississippi
but it has given the State a fame
abroad which except for this in
stitutiOn it would never have en-
jOyed. The fact that the poorer
girls of Mississippi can obtain
collegiate education at a nominal
cost has given the State great
in the educational world,
and the progress she has shown
by educating her young women
has caused favorable com ment
everywhere.

NOT BRUTALLY USED
Mr.. Wells Says That Con-
viCt Was Not Flogged
by Governor.

week contained articles alleging
that Gov. Vardaman had harshly
mistreatedta negro convict who
had been made a "trusty" and
ASSIGNED to the executive man
sion to perform the duties OF a
house servant The matter was
so fagrantIy exaggerated that
Governor Vardaman took no no.
tice of it whatever, but Mr.. w.
Calvin Wells, Jr., who as Well as
being a mem Der of the penlten-
+iarv investigating com mittee Is
a close personal friend OF the
governor. realizing that the state
ment made by the Jackson pa
Ders did our chief executive
great injustice, has issued card
explaining the whole affair. This
card shows that the governor
had tried in every possible man
ner to befriend the convict, and
that when the negro not only
failed to show gratitude but
treated him with impudence, he
kicked his pants, as any other
self-respecting white man would
have done under similar circum-
stances. Mr.. Wells card follows:
Il was much amused at the
interesting story garbled and
magnified out of practically moth
ing by the versatile reporter for
the Evening News, of this city,
contained in yesterdays issue,
and at the story in the Clarion
Ledger of this morning, that L
had spent three hours ia confer
ence with the governor last night
in reference to the whipping. |
think that it is due to the gov
ernor that the truth be known,
and will give it.
L had heard rumOrS of an al
legged whipping by the governor,
and not for the purpose of of
ticialIy investigating the matter
as a mem Der as a member of the
penitentiary investi tigating com
mittee, but out of curiosity, |
went to Gov. Vardaman and as
certained the facts from him and
others who were present.
The truth is as follows; A
negro named Planer was, in ac
cOrdance with custom, working
at the mansion, taking care of
the building and grounds. He is
a great fayOrite of the governor
and his family, especially Of the
children.
About three months ago, con
trary to Gov. Vardaman's in
structiOns, Planer went out in
town at night, and getting drunk,
was about to raise a rough house |
at the home of a negro woman.
Policeman Pfidgen, of the city |
police, however, gathered him in
and took him TO Jail. and the gov
ernor was notified. The govern
or went around and stated to Mr..
Pridgen that if the matter was
reported to the prison authOri-
ties that Planer would lose all of
his cOmmuted time gained for
his good behavior, and the gov
ernor would pay the reward of
SO and thus save for him his
good record.
''On his return to the mansion
Planer came in to black the gov
ernor's shoes, and the governor
upbraided him for getting drunk
and disobeying him, when the
negro made some insulting re-
ply, whereupon b governor
kicked the negro, who was bal
lanced on his heels, and toppled
him over, and grabbed a small
hearth broom and struck him
several times.
The negro was not hurt or
bruised in any manner, shape or
form.
He continued as servant at
the mansion until a few DAYS ago
when he had to have some teeth {
