Negro Shot White Man;
Lynching May FoNow

Port Gibson, Miss, April 21.-Mr.
Branch Archer, prominent planter
of this place, and members of one
of the best known families in the
state, was shot and mortalIy wounded
by negro employee named Thomas
this morning.
The negro escaped after the shoot
ing, and large posse headed by
Sheriff Morehead, is in pursuit There
is considerable excitement in the
community, and it is gravely feared
that lynching will ensue if the negro
is captured.
The details of the tragedy are lack
ing, as Mr.. Archer has been uncon
scious since he was shot, and it /!
reported that he is now dying.
The negro was employed on thu

he does with his many years of ex-
perience as a banker.
The other new names on this board
are those of men of business exper-
fence and their addition will give
the bank another element of
strength.
The board of directors met at the
bank yesterday evening at which
time an election of officers was had
resulting in the reelection of the
former officers, namely: H. A. Camp,
president; Joe Shelby, vice president;
John KampSr, second vice president;
r. L. Bennett, cashier; r. B. Mcleod,
assistant cashier.
At this meeting the resident d.
rectors submitted report of their re-
cent careful personal examination Of
the bank, in which they were pleased
to report a sound and solvent condi-
ton of their institution. Mr.. Gage

Archer plantation, about one mile
from town. Mr.. Archer went to the
place in the field where the negro
was working, and words ensued that
brought on the shooting. The negro
escaped, and a few minutes later met
another negro on the public road and
at the point of a pistol, forced him
to surrender his horse. The negro
from whom the horse was taken re-
ports that the fugitive was covered
with blood, and it is probable that he
was also shot during the encounter
with Mr.. Archer.
Up to this hour Thomas has not
been captured, but the search will be
vigorously pushed. Mr.. Archer has
numerous relatives in Jackson, among
them being the Hamilton and Watkins
families.

more intricate and wonderful than

work of this clever artist seems to

that he has sought the fancy of the
people was evidenced by the fact
that many who were present on
Monday evening were also in the
audience last night. His program
was entirely different and if possible
even more laughable. The one great
feature each night is the Hindoo or
Lothian sleep in which he shows his

without leaving the stage. This act

As fondant is the foundation for all the fine French candies, a good work ing knowledge of how to make it is essential. Molasses candy can be made on a damp day, fondapt never. The materials >needed are the best grantulated sugah for the cream, a small quantity confectioner's cugar to be used in the kneading, vegetable color pastes that can be purchased at any first class confectioner's or made at home, a little cream of tartar and then the filings, fiavorings, nuts, cts, that are to be used in connection with the fondant. For flavoring the ordinary extracts are used. also ma raschino and other cordials. The formula for fondant is always the same; A pound of grantulated sugar (that is, two ordinary cupfuls), one cupful hot water, and half teaspoon full of~cream of tartar. This is the easiest quantity to handle for the amateur. After a little experience the quantity can be doubled, as fondant can be made and kept on hand. Put the ingredients into a granite sauce pan with extra heavy bottom. and stir over a slow fire until the sugar is dis solved, but not a moment longer.

NEW WORKERS AND TIPS

Ernst Muller, in his "Reisebilder." tells this story: Tn the matter of tips to servants of high and low degree. there is no one who can compare with the New Yorker. He uses neither judgment nor arithmetic in. making these donations. Sometimes I have compared this quality with a certain kind of hysteria. The woman who has faint spells is seldom overcome when alone. but usually in the presence of those who, she thinks, will sympathize with her. So t .s with the big tip New Yorker. When he takes his luncheon alone his tip is of the normal kind; when he is accompanied by guest his 1iberality' makes itself man. fest. and when he is the host at a large gathering he has a regular fit of generosity. At least some of the people who liz- in the same house with the hysterical woman usually know how to look upon the attacks of weakness. They are not fooled.

PRINCESS HENRY OF RATTENBERG.

Little is heard outside England these days of Princess Henry of Battenberg. yet time was when she figured largely in the cable disptches. Sha still flour ishes, trotting about London to open baZars and to aid charities in other ways. but she is not the conspicuous feature of court news she was in Queen Victoria's later years. The mother of the present monarch had high opinion of Princess Henry. as well as of the prince. and it was standing joke that she made a prac- tice of reading to both of them ex- tracts from her journal in the high lands. Queen Alexandra imposes no such burden on Princess Henry. Nei- ther does the king. In fact, it's doubt full if Edward has kept a diary though there's no denying it would make in reading.

If it will make a soft ball when rolled between the fingers. it is just right, and must be at once removed from the fire,Set aside in the pan in which it has cooked to cool. Do not try to hasten this by setting in cold water. Let it take its time. When cool, not cold, begin stirring energetically with a wooden paddle In few moments it will look cloudy. then whiten and grow thick and creamy. When too stiff to stir, take in the hands and knead like bread dough. There is no chance of overdoing this. for it's light ness depends upon the thoroJghness of the kneading. When quite light and creamy it is ready for use, though it is better to put away a day. as confectioners do, to mellow and ripen. Pack in an earthen dish and cover airtight with a slightly dampened cloth. This will keep for weeks if desired.

Professor Powers has been emin-

questions submitted at the semi-an-
nual examinations from falling into
the hands of would-be teachers, and
thus far no leaks have been discern
able. In former years these questions
have been almost invariably given out
by some crooked county superinten-

sor Powers has been this year, the

heavy percentage of failures. In one
county 80 negroes stood the examina-

ceeded in passing. In an adjoining
county there were 81 applicants, and
only one of the number received
