MOUND BAYOU.

Mound Bayou, Miss, presents an in
spring example of what the American
Negro can do. While Vardaman Is
stamping the state, using language I'M
fit for publication in his abuse of our
people, these determined citizens of
this Negro community, are going the
even tenor of their way, laying up a
heritage for the coming generation.
This town with few white citizens,
and these few in what is called in
ferior work, is making history for the
Negro race.
Founded by Isaiah 7. Montgomery,
an ex-slave, a former servant of Jeffer-
son Davis, about fifteen years ago, it
has grown to such a commanding po-
sition that one of its merchants does a
$4,000 business, and its bank trans
actions average 100000 monthly. 1t
has a score of stores, "a saw mill, two
blacksmith shops, machine shop, a
printing plant, while so much cotton
is marketed here that two cotton gins
are in continual operation in the sea-
SON" Their harvest Of cotton and
other staples" says Day Allen Wiley
in Alerander'S Magazine for July, sis
SO extensive that the railroad which
passes through this part of the state
secures more freight than from any
other agricultural section of Mississip-
pi, with two or three exceptions"
Contrary to the opinion some people
hold, the order of this Negro settle
ment with all the municipal officers
colored, is so exceptionally good that
the town has not and does not need
Jail In this it is almost unique for
towns of it's size in that state.

rAFT,S STOCK BOOSTED.

The Executive Committee of the
Ohio republican convention by almost
a two-thirds majority, endorsed Will
liam Howard Taft as Ohios candidate
for the presidency last Tuesday. The
same body invited other states to join
with them in the nomination of the
gentleman who is at present Secretary
of War, and still further declared that
they were opposed to the elimination
Of Senators Foraker and Dick from
public life This body, though, as Sen
ator Foraker points out, does not in
struct the delegates to the next ma
tional republican convention. This
will be done by the state convention
which meets later.
About the only advantage for the
Taft forces in the action Of the COM
mittee is the moral effect that it will
have upon the rank and file of the
party in that state, and will show to
other states that the party organiza-
ton is in the hands of Taft's friends.
Though Taft can control the state
committee, it does not of necessity fol-
low that he will be able to control
5 the state convention. Foraker, who is
the head of the opposition to Taft, has
been against the like odds before and
has won out. He may do so again.
Then again the almost solid opposition
of the Negro voters of the state-and
the Negro, if he opposes the ticket on
account of Taft, could swing the state
into the democratic column, will be
a great factor in the final outcome of
Mr.. Taft's boom. Though the COM
mittees endorsement will have ten
dency to boost Taft stock, it is yet
liable to go so far below par that only
Roosevelt himself can keep the presi-
Dental nomination from going to a
man selected by the wing of the party
headed by Foraker.

HARD BITING eILA MONSTER.
Why Is It Poisonous-The Creatures
Tenacity and Quickness.
From the Los Angeles Times.

OF some of tht strange ways of the
gila monster, that little known creay
ture of the Southwestern deserts,
correspondent writes: 81 have had
some experience with gila monsters
and can state that no matter what
scientists may claim the gila monster
is a good thing to shun. Indians and
MeXicans have horror OF them and
fear them more than rattlesnake.
| believe that the bite of the gila mon
ster is dangerous because of the crea'
lures habit of eating Lizards, bugs
and rodents and then lying on sand so
hot that it blisters the Gands and feet
of men. The teeth are often covered
with a fermented, putrefied froth
from the food. A bite has the same
effect as the cut of dissecting knife
used on the cadaver; in other words,
the incubation of deadly poison.
when frightened or angry he can
move quite rapidly. That short, thick,
stubby tail is used in jumping, just as
kangaroo used his tail. The gila mon
ster bites like a bulldog and has the
tenacity of swapping turtle. j once
saw some men teasing gila monster
brought to Tucson. A string was tied
around his neck. The gila monster
was crawling around on the ground
trying to get away, but was pulled
back by the string This was carried
on till the creature became furious.
The crowd around the gila monster
5new nothing of his power to spring.
Suddenly he sprang up and bit a man
among the crowd on the hand, leaping
fully two feet from the ground.
Another instance, this of man
whose chief object seems to have been
foolhardy display Of fearlessness:
He was holding one Of the monsters
in his hand by the back of its neck,
so it could not bite him. He dropped
his hand to the side of his leg. The
gila monster shut his teeth down on
his heavy duck overalls, taking a
double piece out where the cloth fold
ed, as quickly as a pair of scissors
could have cut the fabric, and as clean.

TWO MEN INJURED IN RUNAWAY.

A horse belonging to Mr.. Davis, Of
Garden street, while being driven
home from the Union Station Tues
day evening, became frightened on ac-
count of the breaking of the harness
and ran away, In the wagon was Mr..
Ira Davis, who had been to the sta
ton to meet his mother, and stran-
ger from West Tennessee.
The breaking Of the holdback
strap caused the horse, which seems
to be a very high spirited animal, to
break down Demonbreun street at top
speed. Mr.. Davis showed excellent
judgment and kept the horse in the
road until he reached Vine street,
when to save himself and companion
from serious if not fatal injuries, he
turned the horse so as to run into a
tree. This the wagon struck with
such momentum as to throw the occu-
pants to the ground Mr.. Davis re
ceived several flesh wounds, one in
the leg being quite painful though
not serious. The visiting gentleman
received several body wounds and had
several teeth knocked out. It is un.
derstood that it was necessary to call
in a physician in this case, though in
Mr.. Davis it was not.

After January l, 1908, the whole
state of Georgia will be free from legal
saloons and also no one will be per-
mitted to manufacture spurious liz
uors in the state. The enactment
which passed the house with hun
bred majority out of ITS voting, is
the most radical legislation adopted in
any Southern state. 1t almost amounts
to confscation to the vested interests
in the manufacturing business. But
since provision is made for the drug
gist to carry pure alcohol in stock to
be dispensed upon the order of ply
stefan, the old topers will easily find
something just as good as their white
corn"

CLEAN UP.

Too much care can not be exercised
in cleaning around the home. Nor
can anyone be too cautious as to the
water he drinks. The analytic ex-
animation made of the hydrant water
by an expert chemist and submitted to
the Chairman of the city Board of
Health shows that the city water con-
tains more deliterious matter than it
did five years ago. So much, in fact,
as to make it suspicious though not
wholly to be condemned.
1t has been the experience of other
cities where there have been epidemics
