cotton mills, and consequently
owning very few little white
slaves. But that does not describe
the condition of Mississippi at
:: this time. For our state is pro-
gressive one in every respect, and
especially in the introduction
and development of textile indus
tries. Cotton mills are springing
up here and there over the state;
already there are five or six large
mills, where formerly a few
years ago there were only one or
two, and 1t will not be many years
before the sound of the spinning
wheels will be heard in every
little corner of the state. Now
the men, who are elected to look
out, not cnly for the present
good, but for the future veal OF
our commonwealth, surely will
not consider insignificant the we'll
fare of the white children of the
present generation as we'll as Of
coming generations.
You Legislators, who wear now
so proudly the toga of, white SUI
premacy, can you say that it is
unimportant to father the poor
white children of Mississippi!
Can you afford to disregard their
crying need of a chance to 60 to
school and acquire the power to
sustain the supremacy you now
hold up SO highlyl Will you not
see that now is the time to break
the shackIes from the little white
necks, and set them free to rur
out into the sunshine of growth
and development where they viii
make manly, intelligent citizens,
capable of upholding the good
name Of our proud state of Mis-
sissippi.

Business Management Needed.

Referring to the people of Jack
son deciding to own their own
water plant, jackson special
says:
1T is expected that much pres
sure will be brought to bear on
the city fathers which will have
for its object the creation of a
water commission, to have charge
of and operate the water plant
when once Che details incident to
vesting the city with complete
ownership are concluded. What
is wanted is non-political, nom
partisan commission of true and
tried citizens and business men to
operate the plant to the best in
terests Of everybody, and it is
quite probable that this will be
done. The FIRE department is
controlled by a commission, chos-
en- by the mayor and aldermen,
the affairs of the public schools
are cared for in the same manner
by a board of trustees whose acts
are supreme and final, and it is
reasonable to believe the commits
sion plan Of operating the water
plant and its attendant utilities
will be equally as practical and
successful. y
The above suggestion is worthy
Of the thoughtful consideration Of
the people of Brookhayen. The
management Of this city's water
and light plant for the past 70
months could be marvelousIy inn
proved upon BY The right kind Of
men IN charge.

where between the time the
mandate was received in Brook
haven and the time the capias pro
fnem was placed in the hands of
the sheriff for his arrest. Who
gave this tip, if given, one can
only guess.
The law and order league of
Brookhaven are not going to see
the law mocked by the tigers and
their sympathizers in any such
way, and at the next meeting of
the executive committee it is like
ly that reward will be offered
for Hoskins' arrest and delivery
to the county authorities. The col
lectioR-of the $1,000 forfeited bond
will also be insisted upon at the
next meeting of court. His
bondmsen are Messrs. S. w. Hos
kins and E. T. Brennan.

Another Coward Heard From.

Another anonymous correspond
ent, too sneaking and cowardly
to disclose his identity even to the
editor, sends the following for
publication from Norfeld:
Thou hypocritel first cast the
mote out of thine eye. WHY
should Lincoln County boast of
the saloons being closed in Jeffer-
son and Madison counties when a
public saloon is being run at or
in Nor6eId by a negro and the
officers knowing to it? but still
they do nothing because they re-
ceive a part of the money and
whisky. Please print this.''
If officers had to depend for
testimony on such cowardly
sneaks rs the above writer shows
himself to be, how many hundred
years would it require for them
to secure the conviction of blind
tiger in their community, unless
they caught the witness in the
very act Of buying booze? How
ever, it might be worth the while
OF the mayor and marshal of Nor
field and Constable Moak to look
around and inquire what founda-
ton. ifany, there is for such
story as the above and see if the
writer is really as big liar as he
is moral coward.

AFRO O-AMERICANS MEET.
ROOSEVELT. TAFT, TILLMAN. vARDA-
MAN AND DIXON ARRAICNED.
Mr.. Williams Mistaken Again Does
This Look Like the Negro is No
Longer in Politics?

/
ond days session of the annual
meeting of the Afro o-Amerlcar
Council was held today and again
the various speakers induIged in
attacks more or less violent upon
President Roosevelt, the secretary
of war and others. Senator Till
man, Gov. Vardaman and Rev.
Thomas Dixon were severely ar
raigned.
1t was proposed to attempt to
raise a fund of ST., 100000 with
which to fight for the ends favor
ed by the council and some OF
the speakers advised organizing
the negro vote in the doubtful
congressional districts and fore
ing the Republican candidates to
side with them in their fight
against lynch and Jim Crow laws.
The above is commended to the
attention of Mr.. Williams and to
his supporters in Lincoln county
and elsewhere. Yes, the negro,
supported by the 18th Fifteenth
Amendment, with the ballot in
his hand, is demanding not only
political recognition in the doubt
ful States and Congressional dis
tricts of the country, but is or
ganizing to force the annulment
OF the laws providing for separate
coaches on the railroad trains and
separate waiting rooms for the
races in the South, regardless of
government ownership.
And mark this, the grudge of
this meeting of negroes in BaIti-
more which denounces Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft along with
Vardaman and Dixon, is not
against the President and Sec
retary of War because they
have advocated the repeal of
the 18th amendment or any
abridgement of the negro's
political rights, but because the
President dismissed a battalion of
negro troops because some of their
number committed a murderous
assault at night on the people of
Brownsville, Texas. including
women and children, and all COM
mitted perjury to shield the mur-
derers.
A few months ago the Leader
said it would not be surprising if
a few years hence Roosevelt and
Vardaman were found standing
shoulder to shoulder as members
of the United States Senate fight
ing for the repeal of the 18th
amendment, as the final solution
of the race problem in American
politics, and remarked that even
stranger things had happened.
The suggestion is here repeated.
Yes, let the people of Mississip-
pi send Jim Vardaman to the
Senate, who believes something
ought to be done and can be. done
and is ready to attempt it, and
not Mr.. Williams who, like the
freezing sap-sucker in the story,
has no other cry but &C : a n It,
c an t, can IT,"

1t seems an ncomprehensiblefact
to all who rejoice in the progress
of Mississippi, and the breadth of
mind of her legislators, evidenced
in the laws of the State, that now
our state is left alone of all the
Southern states without child
labor law; for Mississippi and Ne
vada are now the only states in
the Union without such a law.
What is the cause Of this in our
stateg The reason given by the
wide-awake, loyal hearted sons Of
Mississippi is as follows: At the
last meeting of the legislature,
this measure for regulating child
labor was brought up. briefly
considered and dismissed as not
sufficiently important to require
the correction OF such legislation.
It was too insignificant ID de-
mand the attention of our legisla-
TORS, because Mississippi has Al.
ways been primarily an agriGul-
tural stese, possessed Of very few

For a Child Labor Law.

Editor OF the LEADER
Doubtless YOU are aware of the
movement, toward regulating
child labor; which is being agi-
tated mainly by the Kings
Daughters OF our State, and by
the Mississippi Federation of
Women's Clubs; and which was
endorsed by the Press Association
in May at its meeting in jackson.
At this meeting the press promis-
ed to cooperate in a work which
appealed to the sense of justice OF
our Mississippi editors. And
right loyalty are they keeping
this promise, for whenever papers
have been called on for support in
presenting the arguments for leg
islation against child labor, they
have responded cheerfuIly.
The jackson Circle of the
Kings Daughters is running the
matter in the jackson Evening
News once week, and the News
has promised to send copies OF
these articles to any paper prom
ising to publish them. Now we
want to get these short, pithy ar.
ticles" into as many local papers
as we can. So it is for your sup
port in this work that we appeal
to you. Will you help us by pub
fishing in your paper at intervals
some articles in favor of child la
Dor legislation? Inclosed / send
you an argument, which | trust
you will value worthy of print.

While great deal Of attention
and sober thought ought to be
given to the public by the people
to the race of Governor and
United States Senator, care to se-
lect the very best men available
for all local Offices should not be
ignored or overlooked by any
means. We ought to send the
very best men to the Legislature
we can find among the candidates
announced for State Senator and
Representatives; and Of even
greater Importance than this,
ought we to choose the most cap
able and trustworthy men for
sheriff and members Of the Board
Of Supervisors. Good, local
home government is too impor-
tant to be regarded lightly.

Geo. Jenkins, the negro des-
perado who murdered Herbert
Clifton in Tunica County in No
vember, 1908, and was to be le-
gaIly executed for that crime to-
day, committed suicide in the
Jackson Jail Monday morning.
Sheriff Owens, of Tunica, had
gone to the Jackson jail for his
prisoner, when jenkins, realizing
the situation, drew an old razor
which he had concealed in his cell
and slashed his throat so severely
he died a few hours later.

PROSECUTION FAILS TO

Grand Jury. However. Is Still
Probing Case Against
Magill and
Wife.
DEFENDANTS MAY
| SHOW INNOCENCE
Evidence introduced to Show That
Dead Woman Bought Poison
GUS Drugs at Various Times
and Was Of Morbid
Nature.

Clinton, ILL.,, July s1.-It looks
brighter for Fred and Fay Magill. 20
witnesses were examined today by
the special grand jury, which OPEN
ed Its session in the Dewitt county
court house this morning, but COM
paratively little progress was made.
Not a single witness offered evidences
which could be submitted in court
as legal proof that crime haj been
committed
Moreover neither of tie Magills.
man nor wife, was brought into the
case seriously. States Attorney Mil.
Ter today explained the situation by
saying that he called the unimport-
ant witnesses today, and would begin
on the more convincing evidence to-
morrow.
Just what evidence the prosecution
possesses, no one seems to know.
Meanwhile. the five lawyers for the
defense were sitting In their offices
chuckling. They declare that the
evidence will be so weak that not
even a true bill will be voted.
The special jury is made Up Of
men of good standing. hard headed
fellows. They will require fa;riy
good proof before indicting either OF
the accused.
All the druggists of Clinton have
been summoned. Several testified to-
day and informed the grand jury
that Mrs. Pet Magill. like most OF
the other Clinton housewives, had
bought various drugs at their stores,
Wife Bought Drugs.
~"Women buy poisonous drugs to
clean clothes, to kill rats and verunIn
and for other reasons one pharma-
cist told the jury.
II do not know that Mrs. Magill
bought drugs of this kind any often
er than her neighbors."
The defense was favored somewhat
by Judge Cochrane's Instructions to
the grand jury this morning. The
judge emphasized two points.
Before you vote a true BILL" he
said, you first must find that the
evidence shows that crime has been
committed and that the accused
probably committed the crime.
Above all, you must determine that
a crime has been committed"
This has been the stumbling block
In the Magill case, say observers,
from the first, to show that murder
really was committed. Judge Coch-
rane's emphatic hint, therefore, was
heard with pleasure by the lawyers
for the defense.
There is talk of the grand jury
summoning Marguerite, daughter of
Magill, and calling for the Pet Ma
gill suicide letters" The defense
will refuse to produce Marguerite and
the letters.
ChlOrofOrm Caused Death.
The report of the medical experts
who made an anlysis of the contents
of the stomach of Mrs Pet Magiii
were received here today and States
Attorney Miller announced that the
report is to the effect that Mrs.
Magill died of chloroform poisoning.
A trace of arsenic was also founu.
The belief Is growing here that Mrs.
Magill did commit suicide.

MURDER PLOT Of
ARMEN|ANS
District Attorney Takes Per-
SOnal Charge of Black

New York, July 31.-Dlstrict At

sums ranging from $4,000 TO $25,-
600 We're found In the trunk.
The killing Of Tavshanjian Is rec
ognlzed by the police and detectives
as only the beginning OF the Ar
menian plots, as II is positively known
that nine other victims have been
marked by the society for death
These merchants are all guarded ana

ORE CAR RAN AWAY
ON HEAVY DOWN GRADE

Ell Paso. Texas, July 31.-A cable
drawing an ore car on an incline
leading up to the Shanlon mine at
Metcalfe, Ariz., broke yesterday af-
ternoon while five men were being
hauled up in the car. Two jumped
and two were killed, while the other
Is so badly injured that he will die.
When the car hit the ore bin at
the bottom of the incline, Jesus Lo-
peg was hurled four hundred feet
through the air, his body going over
his own house.
Giavonni Nasletto was badly man
gled and instantly killed, and Jose
Canute will die from his injuries.
Foreman Tom Sidebottom, who
was at the bottom of the incline, had
his left leg broken.
Wife Finds Body.
The cable was inspected as usual
before the car started on its up trip
yesterday and pronounced in good
condition, hence the cause of the ac-
cident Is not known. II Is probable
that there was broken thread in
the wire which did not appear on the
surface and the heavy pull as the
car reached the top of the incline
caused the accident.
The ore car rushed downward with
frightful velocity. Lopez was thrown
out near the bottom and his body
rushed through the aid with the velo-
city of a cannon ball, his own wife
noticing 1t pass over her home. She
found the body lying on the opposite
side OF the street five minutes later.
