Shift. Breland and Deputy Dan
went down to Eubanks early in the
week to arrest bad Niger who was
running muck down there with a
left wheeler gun. When the officers
came upon the desperate coon he O.
pened fire and they got their shoot
ing irons also into action. In the ex-
change of shots nobody got hit. but
Gully surrendered. He was carried to
Merrill and arraigned under charge
OF carrying C. C. w, tried and found
guilty and fined. He is now with the
county convict contractors, the Nc
lnnis brothers, where he will work
out the imposition of the Court. Such
characters as this, is what makes
race troubles. Whenever a negro gets
it into his head that he is going to
play bad, sooner or later he gets his
wings clipped. The dominant race in
the South won't stand for no such
sheenannigy. The law is the best
way to deal with such, and we are
pleased to note that the parties in
this case invoked its strong arm. The
better class of the Negro race, should
everywhere let their influence and
councilling go out against such law
lesslv minded men of their race,
thereby helping in the solution of
the troubles that grow from such ca
reers. Many clash between the ra-
ceS could be so avoided.

County Correspondence.

Vernal, Miss, July l, 1907. Dear
Editor writer attended the Ma
sonic and Woodmen of the World
picnic which convened June 20, at
Lucedale. There was a large assem-
blage of people and they had a nice
dinner and a good day for the occa-
sion. Candidates were the topic of
the day and they all seemed busy adj
vocating their own cause. The speak
ers of the day were: T. NJ. Henry
of jackson; E. W. Breland, J. A.
Cochran, r. D. Cochran, Fred Ans
Ter, r. L. Valley, S. M. McEachern
B. w. Mcleod, Rev. A. G.. Ferguson,
Oscar Backstrom and E. L. Russell.
All the county candidates were pres
ent except James Byrd and w. E.
Thomas In the afternoon they had
an interesting ball game; Lucedale
against Richton. At the close of the
game the score stood: Lucedale 2;
Richton II. Just after the ball game
a fight occurred between Henry Hin
ton, deputy marshal, and Hauston
Eubanks, the latter was somewhat
intoxicated and got enraged over the
loss of bet on the ball game. Deputy
Hinton tried to arrest him and a fight
occurred. The many friends of both
Eubanks and Henton insisted that
Henton let Eubanks go, provided that
Eubankss would quiet down, so the
latter decided to obey their com.
mand. The writer was informed that
Deputy Hinton was little intoxi.
Gated.
We have been having too much
rain to work the crops in this vicinity
and crops are, generally in the grass,
but right now we are having some
beautiful weather and I hope it will
continue.

Honor Roll.

T. F. Clark, formerly of Chronicle,
and Miss Erett Mills of State Line,
Miss, were married in Mobile, Sat-
urday evening, June 22nd, at 4 o.
clock, at the home of Rev. w. J. E.
Cox, pastor of the ST. Francis Street
Baptist Church. Mr.. Clark is now
connected with a movement in Mo
bile which has gained some promi-
nenee throughout the country, call
ed the ROchdale Cooperative Union.
As we understand it it is similar to
the old Grange movement among
farmers, the object being to put in
stores, the members of the organiza-
ton to trade at the same and get
their goods at cost with only cost of
handling added. Mr.. Clark is secre-
tary of this organization in Mobile;
and John Hankanson, also formerly
living in Chronicle, is president. Mr..
Clark S marriage comes as surprise
to the Call and its very best wishes
go out to the young people. Citron-

The Political activity Of the Ameri-

80 pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular OF, Allopathic school, Of
which the Association ;is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage Of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale Of s0-called Patent" medicines,
but. will restrict the. practice Of medi-
cine and healing to the schools now
recognized. This. in many states would
prevent the growing practice Of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of SO many intelli.
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond

some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that larger number Of physi-

the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation Is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history Of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem

cause Of their afiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
'7S1.91 and its total assets are $780,
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21, 906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
OF the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay Doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

WHERE 1T is REALLY COLD.
A Country Where "a Lighted Candle Find


~ Vr:y Ha.d t" Keep Warm
From the Popular Science News.
!. Cold is E1erel, relative term. The
resident of semi-tropical countries
shivers when the thermometer falls to
80 degrees. while the Laplander and
Esquimau think it is comfortable at
zero. For real cold and plenty of it,
one must go to the Polar regions. Think
OF living where the mercury goes down
to 35 degrees below zero in the house,
in spite of the stove OF course, in such
a case, fur garments are piled on until
man looks like great bundle OF
skins. DR.. Moss, of the Polar exped-
ton of 1876 among other odd
things. tells of the effect of cold on a
wax candle which he burned there.
The temperature was So degrees below
zero: and the doctor must have been
considerably discouraged when. upon
looking at his candle, he discovered
that the flame had all it could do to
keep warm. 1t was so cold that the
flame could not melt all the wax of the
candle. but was forced to cut it way
down, leaving sort of skeleton of the
candle standing. There was heat
enough, however, to melt oddly-shaped
holes in the thin walls Of wax; and the
result was beautiful lace-like cylin-
der of white, with tongue of yellow
flame burning inside it, and sending
out into the darkness many streaks of
light.
