Atlantic to Pacific.

G N. Hayward, a blind man, about
forty years of age, passed through
Jackson last Saturday on journey
afoos from the Atlantic to the Pacific
with he expects to complete at San
F.. 1cisco by the middle of April, un-
less bad weather or misfortune delays
his travels. Hayward states that he
left Savannah, Ga, on the 10Th Of
November, and has spent thirty.two
days in actual travel. making an
average Of twenty miles per day. He
left that afternoon for Vicksburg, and
expected to arrive in that city Sunday,
making total of 7O8 miles covered
since November 10Th. His method Of
travelling is somewhat unique. Being
totally blind, he travels as we'll at
night as in the daytime, and he often
devotes portion of the night to his
journey, following the railroad right
of way, and walking one of the rails.
This, he says, is the safest plan, pre-
vents him from getting lost, and the
only danger incurred is when he is
crossing cattle gaps or bridges and his
walking cane fails to find secure
resting place. He has no fear of trains,
because his feet always feel the vi
bration Of the rail when train is
approaching, and he has never failed
to get out of the way on time. Hay
ward appears to be q man Of consider
able intelligence, and says when the
journey is ended he will write book
on the incidents Of the trip. He
states that he used to be an infidel,
but was converted to Christianity
several years ago, and his conversion
will form one chapter Of the volume.

Stepin Right Direction

A dispatch from Galveston, Texas,
announces that an organization with
three Thousand members has been
formed among the s'better class Of me-
groes Of the state for the suppression
Of crime. - The existence Of the or
ganization was brought to light by
the surrender Of q negro who was
wanted for crime.
This is step in the right direction.
The good negroes have suffered great
deal because Of the action Of brutal
and lawless negroes. The whole race
has suffered because so many negroes
have spent their time denouncing
mobs and violence without denouncing
the crimes that called forth mobs and
violence. As soon as it becomes
known that the better element Of the
colored race is willing to help sup
press crime committed by members Of
the race, there will be 3 different
feeling among the whites. President
Rooseyelt's action in suspending the
negro troops was due to the fact that
the innocent ones refused to give testi-
money against the guilty ones. The
Commoner has already referred to an
organization in Alabama similar to
the one in Texas. It will be prom
ising sign for the future relation Of
the two races when there is such an
organization in every community
having considerable colored popula-
tion. Bryan's Oommoner.

Gave Him the Limit.

W. s. Dillon, . young white man,
formerly Of New Orleans, who was
arrested recently by the police on q
charge Of trespass, was arranged
in the cit1 court, and, on conviction,
. fine Of $500 and imprisonment for six
months ssas entered against him. In
cidental to the story Of trespass there
was developed one which went to
show that the defendant is either q
person OF weak mind and subject to
the indulgence Of hallucinations, or
else that he is very dangerous sane
man, who 1t would be better to keep
we'll under control. Ii seems that Dill
Ion, has heen persecuting young lady,
the daug hter Of a we'll known and we'll
to-do businessman Of this city, with
written proposals of marriage, based
upon the fact that the defendant some
time ago, in assisting the lady to
alight from street car on which he
was the conductor, was rewarded with
pleasant smile, such as one would
have bestowed upon anyone else show
ing her the same attention. Directly
after this incident Dillon wrote the
lady, ard requested to be allowed to
call on her, which letter she did not
notice. This did not quench his
ardor or weaken his aspirations, but
his attentions became still more per-
sistent, SO much so that in her desper-
alton she reported the matter to her
father, believing that the man was
irresponsible. The father complained
to the street car manager, and Dillon
was summarily discharged and ordered
by the city authorities to leave town.
This he did, but returned recently and
grew as persistent as before, even 60
ing so far as to call at the home of the
young lady. This was going too far,
and led to his arrest and the trial be-
fore the police magistrate. The fact
that the young mans actions are so
strongly indicative that he is mentally
unbalanced led the father Of the young
lady to refrain from resorting to a
more heroic and strenuous method of
dealing with Dillon, but Magistrate
Campbell gave him the limit of the
law, which will hold him for while.
