KILLS ANOTHER
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Newton, Miss. October 7.-Ben
Coker, a prominent farmer. whose
home is five or six miles south of
here, Saturday shot and instantly
killed negro named Willis Bender.
who was working on his place.
Bender, who is q man about % years
old, attempted Ito assault the 5-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. Croker, and before
he could get away, received his just
deserts.
The facts III the case, as near as
can be learned, are that the NEGRO
had been blowing in field some 200
or 300 yards from the home of>his.
employer, and the little girl and 10
year-old son of Mr.. Croker were near
by, gathering some pop corn. The
negro sent the boy to the house on
some pretext and took the child in a
cotton house close by to accomplish
his diabolical purpose. However, the
little girls brother returned sooner
| than expected and detected the negro.
in his effort TO commit tibet errible
crime, and fastened to tell his father.
| The negro seeing that he was dis
covered, ran towards the house and
reached there before the boy did, and
while in nervous state of excite
ment asked Mr.. Croker to let him
have s25. Seeing that the negro was
all in culver, he asked him what was
the matter The negro told him moth
ing, only he wanted the money. About
that time the little boy arrived and
apprised the father of what the negro
had done At this juncture the cul-
prit started to run, whereupon Mr..
Il Croker stepped in his house, seized a
| gun, and fred at the negro just as he
was jumping the fence, the load
striking him in the back of the head
and causing him to fall across tho
fence, dying in short while.
! Mr., Croker came to town and wend
! before justice OF the peace and told
what he had done. and was put under
, a bond of $500 to appear before the
circuit court. which he at once made
and returned home. So far as known
there is no probability Of further

drowned, and the other members of

to ask the lead of a united and loyal
Southern Democracy? The very
question is ridiculous. These people
need leaders to lash and keep them
in line. If they have any Democratic
principles at all; if, as is more likely,
it is not disgraceful scramble for
the public pie, they need leader who
will keep them in the ranks.
More of this sort may be expected
and it BODIES i'll for the Democracy in
the next campaign and in future
presidential elections, unless the
South asserts itself. The South must
take the lead If to it wishes the old
| historic party to survive. 1t may not
be able to prevent Mr.. Hearst from
trying to stab the party by his
League, but It is able to read Mr.
Hearst out of the party and to warn
all true Democrats against his heresy
In other words, it can cleanse the ma
tional Democracy from all undedsir
able elements and, when the tim'
comes, present united front.
| It is impossible to conceive wha
is the purpose of all these squabbles
Is it to perpetuate Republican rule
That can be the only effect. But
this is the case, it is rank treason.

An Unpleasant Prospect

AS predicted by the Daily News, the
split in the Democratic party has
materialized in Massachusetts. Two
tickets have been nominated and the
courts win decide which of the two
shall represent the Massachusetts
Democracy. 1t makes little difference
which wins; the real point is that the
losers will knife the victors. Under
such circumstances the question
arises What is the use IN preparing
