Charges of ~Inhumanity.

A profound sensation was sprung at
Meridian when Mrs. Artemissa Wynn
was escorted to the city by deputy sher-
ifs from Barrett, in Clarke county,
where she claims to have been held for
months in the custody of Mrs. Elvira
Smith, against her will. She was
brought to Meridian as the result of a
warrant issued by Judge Robert f.
Cochran for her release from illegal
bondage. The aged and infirm lady
tells one of the most sensational stories
of cruelty known in the history of the
State. She says she was horsewhipped,
locked in a room with the windows
barred, and deprived of the necessaries
of life in her confinement, and other
wise ill treated. The friends and rela-
tives of the aged lady are worked up
to a pitch of madness as a result of the
fearful story told by Mrs. Wynn.

In the circuit court at Purvis Judge
w. H. Cook pronounced the death SEN
tence on John Brock, a white lad, who
was convicted of the murder of Louis
Kohler, a young man clerking in the
store Of the Baskerville Mercantile

in ten minutes with a shotgun over his
shoulder. He entered the store by the
back door, approached close to Kohler
and fired. The young mans head was
completely blown away.

a quarantine by New Orleans against
Brownsville, Tex, where dengue fever
is reported, was announced tonight.
Marine hospital, State and city health
officials issued the regulations after a
consultation, deciding that all persons
arriving here from Brownsville must
be kept under surveillance until six

ton. Notification of the fever's exist
ence came from Health Officer Brunsby

EVERYONE BOOMING The PLAN
For a 500, ocO 900 Deep Waterway
to the Gulf.

Chicago.-The plan for a 800, 600, 900
deep waterway from Chicago to the
gulf is now being doomed by the Off
Gals of every town on the Illinois river,
the drainage canal and the Mississippi
river, according to Congressman VIM.
E. Lorimer, the father of the project.
"It hasn't reached the practical stage
where success is assured" said the
congressman today after a conference
with Mayor Busse to prepare for the
convention of the Deep Waterway AS
ISOLATION to be held at Memphis, Tenn,
Oct. 4 and 5. ''The president will
attend this convention, and it is said
he is favorable to the project. In ad-
dirion the governors of different States
and mayors of the cities along the pro-
posed waterway will be present, to-
gether with thousands of delegates
from commercial and other associa-
tions.'
Congressman LOrimer believes that a
l4-foot channel will answer all practical
purposes for vessels of 5000 tons. AL
though the cost is estimated at about
$75, GOO, 600. congress will be asked to
make the appropriation 500, OOO, 1000 to
cover all contingencies.

The Tell Tale Voice.

eff you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell US some
business tale. We look at his fest or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your &C.
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you"

RACE WAR is THREATENED

Curfew Law.

Monroe City, Mo.-Within "a hours
after the curfew law for negroes was
contingently removed in Monroe City
three negroes-John Hawkins, Iced
Samuels and Pete Hall-ran amuck all
armed, searching for Luther Moss, a
well-known young man here, declaring
that they would ''6ll him full of lead

ing negroes off the streets after 8 O'Clock
at night, and for this reason the black
population of the town had Q ONE en-
FILTERED against him. The three ne

a white man should be shot as u result
Of the racial troubles here, many me-
groes will %summarily pay the penalty.
Seven years ago Paris, the county seal
of Monroe county, drove out more than
one-third of its negro population, while
Sto1tsville, eight miles southwest OF
Monroe City, has not allowed a black
to remain in town after nightfall for q
years.
The negro population of Monroe is
about 300, and business men declare
that if further clashes occur here, the
entire number will be driven from the
city.
For about three weeks the whites
have not allowed negroes to appear on
the streets. Printed notices were post.
ed notifying negroes that they must not
be uptown after 8 pm. Several desir
ing to test the efficiency OF the order
were terribly beaten and chased home.

Estimaters are still figuring on the
visible supply of cotton as well as esti-
mating the crop fo- this year. The
best that any of them get is twelve mil
lion bales for the present crop. Now,
If they are anything like correct, the
crop is worth IA or 15 cents whether
the farmer is able to get that for it or
not. The world next year will need in
excess of fourteen million bales to sup
ply the normal demand, and if the crop
falls two million short of that amount
it is plainly to be seen that the price
should be pretty high. 1t is to be hoped
that our people will continue to push
the education of the farmers as to the
handling of this great crop, putting
into execution a system whereby it is
all no dumped upon the market in a
few weeks. Our people are becoming
interested in this subject profitable
developments are promised soon.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION
THE VOTE FOR SENATOR Is
VERY CLOSE.
Gubernatorial Race in Doubt-Con'
test Is Probable, as the Total
Vote Is Said to Be in Ex-
cess of Poll Lists.

Jackson, Miss.-That there will be q
contest, no matter which way the pri.
mary in Mississippi went, is certain.
Friends of three candidates are not sat.
is6ed with the closeness of the vote, and
the total vote cast seems to indicate
that there is something rotten in the
State of Denmark" as one well posted
Mississippi politician put it. In the
senatorial primary the total vote was
1903, which is said to be larger than
the list, after the registered poll sheets
had been purged of all unlawful voters.
No direct charges of fraud have been
made, but both sides are said to be pre-
pairing to meet any emergency.
According to revised returns received
tonight Williams has a lead of 765 votes.
When corrected and complete returns
are received from Calhoun, Clay, Ita
wanda, Leake and several other coun-
ties that were late in coming in, this
may be reduced still lower, and Gov
Vardaman may take the lead. A mum
Der of errors made in transmission over
the telegraph and telephone wires nave
been found, and it will take the official
| vote, as returned by mail or carrier to
the State committee at jackson to de-
termine the result. What this result
will be and whether or not the candi-
dates will abide by it, is a story that is
to be told. .
What Returns Show.
Several interesting things are shown
by the returns. Williams carried Al
| counties and Vardaman 35, and in two
they were tied. The last named are
Grenada and Wilkinson, one in North
and the other in South Mississippi. Var
daman lost his home county, Letiore, by
"a votes, and Williams carried his home
county, Yazoo, by 1,06S votes, which was
the largest majority either candidate got
in any single county. PontotOc county
gave Vardaman 1,O43 majority, and the
largest majority that Williams got out
side his Own county was in Warren
county, which returned 03S majority for
him. OF the three new counties Will
Jams carried Forrest and Lamar and
| Vardaman carried Jefferson Davis cOun-
ty. The hill counties stood by Varda-
man, giving him an increased vote,
though Williams took several of them
away from his rival. The delta went
largely for Williams, the fight in Kinds
county being especially spirited. South
Mississippi was the battle-ground, and a
study of the vote from that section re-
veals how terrific was the contest for
votes.
Following is the vote received by Will
Jams and Nardaman for senator, and by
Brewer, Noel and Scott for Governor.
The same counties gave the other three
candidates for Governor the following
vote: Truly 1879, Sisson 81, BOO, Thorn
as 1910.

by the statement that the battalion

town of Brownsville.
Mr.. Foraker asserts that Il was
unprecedented in military annals for
a court-martial to report a verdict of
guilty against an organization under
such circumstances. He says the
court had absolutely no right to de-
clare the battalion guilty without go
ing through even the formalty OF a

inquiry is ended IL is quite likely
that the officers composing the court

explanation of their action.
