Negro Killed Over Crap Game.

Reed Mcdaniel was shot anc
instantly killed over crap game
in house in the Seavey quarter
Thursday afternoon by another
negro named Yves Byrd. Accord.
ing to the current version of the
affair, Byrd and Mcdaniel had
been shooting craps and Byrd had
won all of a $1,000 bill staked by
Mcdaniel except dollar, when
the latter decided to quit, and in
stead of accepting a dollar in
change which Byrd offered him
and passing over the ten dollar
William, be grabbed up the bill
and defantly started of with it.
Byrd, it is stated, then Immediate
ly drew his pistol and began firing
on Mcdaniel, striking him twice
in the neck and once in the back,
with fatal effect.
Soon after the killing Byrd sur
rendered to the sheriff and was
lodged in Jail, and, as it appears
to have been clear case of mur-
der, he is likely to remain behind
the bars until Circuit Court con-
venes.
Reed Mcdaniel, the dead negro,
bore very bad reputation and
got about what be deserved. He
is the same negro who struck and
nearly killed Town Marshal Sam
Aird, of Bogue Chitto, several
years ago with an axe, while re-
sistlng arrest, and for which he
served term in the penitentiary.
After he came back from the pen
he shot at long range and killed
the notorious negro criminal, Sim
Roberts. Since Mcdaniel killed
Roberts he has been a kind of
bully among the negroes, most of
whom feared him, and was in the
habit,of running over them and
doing pretty much as he pleased
in their crap games, without be-
ing called down. In attempting
to cheat Byrd in the instant case
he played the bluff game once too
often and met the bully's usual
fate,

DlvERSIfICATION THE WATCHWORD.

The following from an address
by Pres. Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, is
worthy of repetition and special
emphasis at this time. Farmers
should read and heed it we'll:
/" hat the area planted in cotton
last year was too large there can
be no question of doubt. But for
bad climatic conditions prevailing
in the southwestern States, we
would have produced over 49,
100000 bales and suffered a tre-
mendous depression in prices.
With the area planted in 1905,
which amounted to 27,000,000
acres, it is easily possible, with
normal seasons, to produce a crop
of over 100000 bales. What
is the sensible thing to do; cut the
acreage and hold production with
in the limits of consumption at
good prices, OR plant largely, pro-
duce superabundantly and sell at
ruinous prices? This is the ques-
tion which now confronts every
cotton grower in the South. Di-
versi6cation is the keynote to the
proper solution of the problem.
Plant more land In food-supply
crops; less land in cotton; live at
home, and sell your staple crops
slowly, and at prices showing
profit on the years labor. Cotton
is today the cheapest commodity
on the market, figuring the true
cost of its production.
"The true doctrine of diversifi-
cation and reduction in cotton
acreage will be preached from
every hilltop and valley, by the
officers and members of the South
ern Cotton Association, during
the next 80 days. The entire
Southern Press will be urged to
lift It's voice, in behalf of these
two fundamental propositions up
on which the South must stake
her fortunes in 1906. The wise
man will heed this advice, and
exercise every possible influence
over any of his neighbors who are
not disposed to exercise prudence
before it is too late. Make your
farms self-sustaining and grow
happy and prosperous.
"As the markets of the world
are gradually broadened and the
demand increases, then, and not
till then, let the acreage planted
in cotton be increased. Regulate
the supply to meet the present
existing demand for consumption,
and thereby have a controlling
voice in the prices of the raw
product. No power on earth can
control prices, when the legitimate
laws of supply and demand are
reckIessly disregarded. The far
mers are the arbiters of their
future fortunes. We will point
the way to success. Pause and
reflect before it is too late.''
