Commissioner Cole invokes
PenaftytProvideu by Law.

Il Commissioner Cole of the
Insurance Department has taken
the steps necessary to GUST The

The revocation of the license
is made mandatory upon the
Insurance Commissioner, and
carries with it the debarring of
the company from again doing
business in this State within the
next three years, and Commits
sioner Cole has notified alAof its
agents in this State to that effect,
and a violation of this order will
be punished by the penalties
provided in the statute govern
ing such matters.
Following is the order sent out
to the Company and its agents:
Jackson, Miss, Oct. IA, 1907.
In compliance with Section
1868 of the Code of 1906, you are
hereby notified that every au-
thority, license or certificate
heretofore granted the Mutual

MISSISSIPPIAN
Democratic Nominee tOI Audi
tor in Salt Lake City.
Well Known and Very Popular
in Columbus

The Salt Lake Herald of re-
cent date contains the Yhotos of
the democratic nominees for city
officers and prominent among
the number is that of Mr.. Max
we'll r.. Brothers, formerly of
this city, who is the nominee for
Auditor
In speaking of the convention
and the nominees the Herald
says: 'Mr. Jerrald r. Letcher
in a short but eloqent speech
presented Mississippi democrat,
Maxwell r Brothere, for audi
torship nomination. Mr.. Broth
ers was nominated with a whoop
that left no doubt about his
popularity with the convention"
The same paper speaking
editorially of the the nominees
has the following to say about
Mr.. Brothers:
Maxwell r. Brothers, though
a resident of Salt Lake City for
only eight or ten years, has won
for himself a large and devoted
circle of friends. In the response
ble office of clerk of the board of
health under the Morris admins
tration Mr.. Brothers was faith
full, diligent and efficient. Last
year he was the nominee of the
Democrats for county auditor,
and, in spite of a combination of
adverse c circu m t n s !,
stances that resulted in the de-
feat of the entire ticket, he ran
a splendid race. His selection
for auditor adds strength to the
ticket"
These kindly expressions about
one so dearly loved by his Mis-
sissippi friends are sources of
great pleasure to them and they
unite in the wish that he may
lead the ticket on to victory.

THEY DIDN'T FORGET 1T
And as a Result Negro Teach
er Is in Trouble.
Married White Woman and
Skipped Out When the Out
ragged Public was About to
Lynch Him.

A. C.. Martin, a negro school
teacher who married a white
woman at Summit about two
years ago, thought that the Pike
county authorities were afflicted
with short memories, and as a
result he is now confronted with
a five-year sentence in the peni-
tentiary.
The marriage of Martin to a
woman named Sue Perkins
created profound astonishment
and Indignation throughout the
southern part of the state when
the facts were publicly revealed,
and Martin skipped from the
state to escape lynching. The
woman was arrested and given a
five-year sentence in the
penitentiary.
Sheriff Lee made several dill
gent but unsuccessful efforts to
locate Martin. Time passed and
the negro, believing that the
incident had been forgotten,
returned to his old home in Pike
county. He was promptly nab
bed by Sheriff Lee and is now in
jail at Magnolia awaiting the
next circuit court session. An
Indictment against him is pend
ing, having been brought at the
time a true bill was returned
against the Perkins woman.

SHOT DOWN IN

Bloody Tragedy Enacted on
Meridian ThOrOughfdre.

band, Declaring That the w man
Had Been Wrenged Victim Died
Enroute to HOSPITAL.
A Meridian Miss, special says:

A MefIuldn MISS, ofJtCIdi say .
A fatal shooting affray oc-
CURED at 9:10 last night in front
of the SuttIe building, Twenty
second avenue and Eighth ST.,
as the result of which j. w.
Davis, of Laurel, is dead and
Webb and Frank Key, of Kem-
per county, now languish behind
the bars of the county jail.
Davis is a brother-H-laW of
the Keys, who are brothers and
sons of Mr.. Jim Key, whose
home is about midway between
DeKalb and Porterville.
The trouble grew out of family
matters. Davis courted Miss
Bertha Key several months past
and it is claimed was instrument
tai in causing her to err. The
family, as soon as the facts were
known, called upon him to right
her wrongs in so far as was
possible by marriage. This he
at first declined to do, but later
consented, bringing the young
lady to Meridian to secure the
license.
The couple put up at local
hotel while in the city, but some
slip in the arrangements occur
red that prevented a consum-
nation of the ceremony. Miss
Key returned to her home, but a
short while after was welded to
Davis.
The honeymoon was short
lived, however. The groom soon
deserted his bride and again she
returned to her parents.
Relatives of Miss Key again
conferred with Davis, advising
him to leave the state and con-
senting to let the matter drop
provided he would stay out of
Mississippi. This he is said to
have promised.
For a couple of months, all
went well, but last week Davis
again ventured to visit the Key
neighborhood. He did not come
in contact with any of his adj
versaries, but the news of his
presence in the community, in
view of his contract, incensed
the brothers of the young lady
and they determined to have a
reckoning.
A search for Davis was at once
instituted, and Monday it was
learned that he had come to
Meridian. Aiming themselves,
the brothers followed Tuesday
morning and the first meeting
since their arrival occurred at
the hour above stated.
A number of people were close
by when the shooting began, and
a larger crowd gathered when it
ceased. Of the seven bullets
fired, six took effect in the man
for whom they were intended
and no one else was struck.
When the smoke cleared away,
the Keys started for the court
house to surrender to the sheriff
They were overtaken by Chief
of Police w. NJ. Bludworth,
placed under arrest without any
offer of resistance, conducted to
the police station where they
were detained for a short while,
and from there carried to the
county Jail.

ROSEBUD TOWNS TO
HAVE MAIL SERVICE

Burke. S. D., Aug. 27.-Postmaster
U. NJ. Jury, OF this place. has received
Information from the second assistant
postmaster general that railway mail
service would be established for the
Rosebud towns west Of Bonesteel on
September 8 as far as Gregory.
This announcement wifi be welcome
news TO the people in the reservation,
since it was generally thought the SER
vice would not be established Until the
first of the year.
Dallas, the most remote of the towns,
must evidently continue to depend on
the stage for ITS mail. but since the
railroad has just been completed to
that point it is likely the improved mail
service will not be long in being ex-
tended to that town also.
