GOVERNOR JElKs TO NEGROES
Advises Them to Outlaw the Loafer
and Hunt Down Rapist.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. GA letter
sent by Governor Jelks to A. N. John
son, a leader of negroes in Mobile,
who had asked him to attend a mass
meeting of negroes in the interest of
law and order, concludes with this ad-
vice to the negroes of Alabama:
Outlaw the loafer and the thief.
and be particularly prompt to hunt
down the rapist. Ostracize them in
your societies and consign them to
eternal damnation from your pulpits.
This is the best and cheapest way.
Should the white people finally lose
control of themselves anarchy is upon
us"

the rails. There were only six passen~ gers. two of them ladies. in the chair car and they were not even jared
 In the second class coach there was crowd of negroes all of whom were shaken and bruised when the car turn ed over although none of them was in- jured seriously.
 A relief train was sent from here at once and the passengers were brought back to the city where fifteen negroes who had been in the second class coach were sent to St. Margarets Hospital.
 Dr. J. L. Gaston. surgeon of the rail- road company. said that beyond few bruises that twelve of the negroes es- capped injury, and might be discharged from the hospital today. The other three negroes. David Key. c. C. Jones and Dorsey. suffered minor fractures and may remain at the hospital several days.
 The wreck occurred few miles from the spot at which train No. 35, the fast through passenger train, due from Atlanta at 11:55 a. m., was wrecked six weeks ago when 1t was bearing the members of The College Widow company. It was believed that that wreck was caused by an ene- my of the railroad company.
 Special Agent Marlborough of the western Railway happened 10 De on train No. 35 yesterday morning. He got out at the scene of the wreck. It was found that several bolts had been drawn from some of the fish plates at the switch. The Western Railway off, cers say that there is no doubt that some body wrecked the train yester- day just as they did the fast train a month ago. The search for the mis- creants will be kept up as vigorously as if scores of people had been killed.
 Superintendent w. N. Cox of the Western aRilway said that 1t was for tunate that the accident was not more serious in it's results, adding that the damage to. property was nominal and that the tracks were cleared with lit- tie delay to traffic.
 As to the cause of the wreck. Mir. Cox was reticient. He said a thor ough investigation was to be made, as it was evident the switch had been tempered with.

 Snow Hill Institute,
 Snow Hill. Ala. Jan. 19. l9o6.
 The Twelfth Annual Conference or the farmers in this and adjoining sec tions was held here today It is fn- miliarly known at Snow HI as tne farmers day in school. It had been announced that the session would be- gin at 10 a. m., but as previous rams had made the roads almost impassaoIe, the majority of the farmers did not gather until 12 m., so the session was not opened until 1:3O. Rev. Barber of Furman, Hopewell section, led Tn prayer Principal Edwards then made a few remarks calling attention to the meaning of the farmers conference. ana among other things, he said, T believe you are really in earnest about get ting information that will help you to improve in all the departments of life. otherwise, the indictment weather, which has made the roads so bad would have prevented your being present to- day. I am glad to know that. You must not be overcome by dihcultles' but you must overcome obstacles. You know one chief difference among men, is that while some are overcome Dy dificulties, others gather strength ara press onward. You cannot aford 10 give up because of discouragements, IT YOU do, you cannot rise. The taking of the school funds from us and deny ing us the right to vote, seem hard enough but unless we wake up and so to work, other rights will be taken from us. We are accused of being un- reliable, and hence there are move ments on foot to bring foreigners Into this section to take our place as farm laborers and household servants. Now we just as we'll understand that wher- ever we work, we must prove ourselves worthy, reliable. and the best. To do this, we must not complain of first class accommodations until we prove ourselves worthy. Let me entreat you to pay your poll tax pay for the edu- cation of your children; build better school houses, and employ efficient teachers and preachers. Buy the land which you cultivate; set yourselves against drinking, against gambling against all that Is mean, be right your selves and all will be well in the end
 The following sections were repre- sented: Snow Hill. Ackerville, Furman' Richmond, Tilden, Atmore' Allenton' Oakhill. Pineapple, Pleasant Hill
 In speaking for Snow Hill. Wash Rivers said that the people seem to be still improving; they have built better churches, extended the school terms from five to eight months. three have bought homes since the last con- ference.
 Rev Barber. from the Hopeweh sec ton of Furman. gave very eneourag , ing report of his neighbors. He sald they now have a good school house. good teacher. and by the supplement of parents, the school will run eight months this year In former years fl ran only from three to five months The people are also peter financially, the majority are out of debt. though.

TRAIN THROWN FROM TRACKS Accident at the Gravel
 Pit Switch. FIFTEEN PASSENGERS HURT All Are Negroes and None Serious
 ly Injured. Miscreants Tempered With Rails of Western Railway Four Miles From Montgomery-One Coach
 Turned over.

An eastbound passenger train or the Western Railway was thrown from the tracks by the evident work of train wreckers about four miles from Mont gomery shortly after o'clock yester- day morning and fifteen negro passen- gers were slightly injured. They were brought to St. Margarets Hospital in Montgomery.
 Carter's switch was the scene of the wreck and 1t was due to the fact that bolts had been drawn from the rails and a split switch. Railroad officials express the opinion that a band of mis- creants did the dastardly act and they point to the wreck whcih occurred in the same locality about six weeks ago. Of the four cars in the train only one, the second class coach, in which the negroes were passengers, turned over. The car was not damaged great ly and the property loss is slight. The tracks were cleared within a few hours and there was little delay to traffic.
 Ine aCClQSnl OEGuIEco lO tram AN0 40, which left Montgomery for Atlanta at 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning in charge of Conductor Zack Martin and Engineer Hub" Connor. This is an accommodation passenger train and travel on 1t is usually very light until after 1t passes Opelika, as it runs two hours behind train No. ss. the fast through train leaving Montgomery at 6:55 a. m. There were four cars. in train No. 40. a postal car. combfna- tion car, second class coach and chair car.
 Nothing unusual happened until the Carter gravel pit switch, something over four miles from the city, was reached. The engine, postal car and combination car passed over the switch all right, but when the trucks of the second class coach struck the switch 1t split 1t, throwing the car over on its right side and turning the switch. Then happened one of those marvellous occurrences which are peculiar to rail- road wrecks. The switch had been thrown when the trucks of the second class coach struck it and the chair car rode into the siding and did not leave

JELKS BACK HOME
HE MADE A SHORT VISIT TO BALD-
 WIN COUNTY.
Looked Into the immigration Situation, Hunted Birds in the Woods and Attended n Re-
 cepfi0u.

Governor Jelks has returned from a three days visit to Baldwin County. He was accompanied on the trip by Major H C. Gunnels of the Educationa Department and Will T. Sheehan. staff correspondent of The Advertiser.
 The Governors visit to Baldwin was for a three-fold purpose--to get a few days rest from his official duties, to in- spect formally the immigration work which has been going on in Baldwin County and to have a short hunt ir the pine woods.
 Governor Jelks was warmly received by the land company officials and the immigrants in Baldwin. He dropped in unexpectedly and informally Wed. nesday at the Woodbound Hotel at Magnolia Springs. The hotel was well filled with tourists who were spending the winter at this pleasant South Ala bama resort.
 J. w. Walker. the proprietor of the hotel, arranged a public reception for the Governor. that he might meet the Northern guests. The guests were as- sembled in the dining room and the Governor was intro duced In speech by Mir Walker. The Governor responded in a happy address, expressing his appre- citation of the splendid natural scenery and of the cordial welcome that had been extended him.
 launch party was given the Gov eruor and his friends down Magnolia River and up Fish River to Marlow the next day. The Governor tried fish ing in Magnolia River but outside of a two-pound trout there were no results A days hunt in the woods resulted in a bag of seventeen birds. of which the Governor bagged sixteen. In the hunt for cartridges the Governor showed himself an expert shot.
 short visit was made to the Ger man colony at Elberta by the party. While the Governor was at Elberta an excursion of III iandseekers came in on an immigration excursion.
 The Governor spent very pleasant three days in Baldwin and was favor ably impressed with the immigration work that four of the big land compa- nies are doing.

Sold HyomeI for Years and Knows it
 WIIl Cure Catarrh.
 E. G. Fowler has given Hyomei most thorough and remarkable test. For A long tin1e,7he has offered to refund the money to any purchaser of Hyomei if 1t failed to benefit.
 The remedy has made so many cures among his customers that he has urged it's use in the most chronic cases of ca- tarrh.
 Breathed for a few minutes four times a day, through the inhaler that comes with every outfit. it soothes the irrftated Nmucous membrane of the nose, throat and lungs, kills the ca tarrhal germs, and restores complete health. It's healing, antiseptic frag- rance penetrates to the most remote air passages, as no medicine taken into the stomach can possibly do. Imme- diate relief almost always follows the use of Hyomel, and great benefit is seen after a few days treatment
 The complete Hyomet outfit costs only s1, and consists of an inhaler that can be earned in the pocket or purse, and will last a lifetime, a medicine dropper and bottle of Hyomei If this is not sufficient for a complete cure, additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents.
 Compare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists and remem- ber too, if Hyomei does not cure, MT. Fowler will return your money.

he said, they have not learned to use
 money with profit. Thomas. the teach-
 CT from the same section, said he had
 been there only a few months. but the outlook was bright. Hobdy, also from
 Furman. said that he not only made money but did advancing.
 washam was asked to represent Minter but declined. As to himself. he
 said that he was out of debt and had little money which hc was saving
 to buy a home. He did not believe in
 advancing and advised against 1t. King
 said the advancing system is splendid
 when properly used. Rivers said 1t is
 only an eating cancer. The consensus
 of opinion was that it is better to pay
 as you go.
 Savage of Atmore told the farmers
 to raise chickens. hogs. etc.. and they
 would not have to make mortgages.
 Davis said that financially, Acker-
 vile is in better condition than in
 many years, but not much improvement
 is being made along other lines. Savage of Atmore said that his peo-
 pie are doing well. There is no divls-
 ion in school matters on account of
 denominations. many of the people own
 their homes--they have two prosperous schools.
 Mike Edwards of Richmond said that some of the people there have homes. some are buying. others are losing by a failure, to get the proper deeds. Brown, the teacher of Richmond, said the people are very anxious to have a good school and are planning good four room school building. The school already runs eight months, was extend ed since last conference.
 Locke said Oak Hill is doing fairly well. Jones of Pleasant Hill report ed very favorable for his community. King of Allenton, who on last year made a very pessimistic report of his section, today said that the people are
 now waking up. Last year when con- ference was in session they had no teacher, no school the people were not at all interested in education, whereas today, men who never in all their lives paid five cents for educational pur- poses, are now paying three and four dollars-the school will run eight months.
 McCants of schuster said they had no school, and could not get a teach CT, mainly because of denominational differences. This community must be healed as was Kings community at Allenton. and steps will be taken to send them a teacher.
 Hunter of Tilden made good finan- ciaI report for his section. The session could not be finished in one day, so the | farmers decided to meet again in Feb- | ruary to take up other reports. Messrs. Barnes. Whitehead and Mays having been appointed by Principal Edwards to draft resolutions. brought | in the following which were adopted | by the conference;
 Resolutions.

cows. rice. sugar cane. vegetables. poultry and fruits.
 We condemn the habits of idling away time, of drinking whiskey, the custom of living in houses having less than three rooms; disorderly conduct in public conveyances. We emphasize the necessity of our people being law abiding men and women.
 The moral and religious needs of our people are paramount; hence the ne- cessity of an efficient ministry.
 We again call attention to the fact that our public school terms are too short and too many of our poorly paid teachers are also incompetent We therefore encourage local taxation. that the school terms may be heightened. and better paid and more efficient teachers may be employed.
