INSANE ASYLUMS IN

Crazy Negress in Jail Disturbed Judx And Caurf nfficiala

crazy NeEress In JatI Disturbed Judge
 And Court Officials.
 Columbus, Miss. Sept. 23-(SpeciaD The screams of Willie Quinn. a crazy negress confined in the Lowndes Coun- ty jail. which adjoins the court house, have greatly annoyed attorneys. wit nesses and officials since the Septem- Der term of Circuit Court convened, and enquiry as to why she has not been sent to an asylum brings to light the fact that all the institutions are full to overflowing and many other coun- ties are holding crazy negroes in their jails until there is room for them at the insane hospitals.
 Ten years ago one seldom heard of crazy negro. and the rapid increas SC in insanity among the race is said to be largely due to cocaine The brain of the average negro is feeble at best, and when he indulges in cocaine or other pernicious drugs, insanity soon develops. City coons have used the seductive powders to excess for sev- eral years, and the habit seems to be invading rural districts. The sale of the drug in this state Is prohibited by the statutes. but it seems that in many communities the law. like that which forbids the sale of whiskey, is open ly violated.

MeettnG to Secure Enhor
 ment sf the Prohibition
 Law.
 Birmingham. Sept. 2a.-tspecial.)-- The oficial call was issued today by the Law and order League TOT monster mass meeting to be held sun day afternoon in the First Methodist church in this city, and it Is expected that the house of worship VIII naro- ly be large enough to hold the crowd that will turn out though the seating capacity runs into the thousands. The objects of the meeting are to hear a report from a committee appointed to select a committee of one hundred through out the State whose duty It shall be to give effort looking to full enforcement of the prohibition law and to take steps to urge the officers of Jefferson county and in Birmingham to a full realization of their duty and to push the prosecu- tion of the prohibition violation cases. as
 The call issued today is signed by John W. sfbley. R. s. Munger. Oscar Floyd. James H. Hard, w. E. Urqu- hart. George R. Estes. John T. Nor gan. S. A. Ellis. R. F. Lovelady and others, all well known citizens.
 The call reads as follows.
 To the Citizens of Jefferson County.
 When the newspapers report that the prosecuting attorney of our coun- ty announces that he does not think that he will try any more cases for violation of the prohibition law this week because the jury declines to bring in verdicts according to the facts and evidence but is controlled by prejudice and personal feelings. if would indeed seem that a spirit Of anarchy has invaded the sacred walls of the temple of justice and these be dangerous times upon which we have fallen.
 The issue before us Is not whether we shall have a prohibition law; as the sovereign people of Jefferson county spoke in no uncertain terms such should be the case on October 2s, 1907. This law was not forced upon us by the Legislature. We be- lieve that a large majority of those who voted against prohibition are in favor of the enforcement of any. and all laws that have been duly enacted and adopted. We call upon them and all good citizens to join in expression of indignation at the gross violation of jurors sworn duty and to pro- claim to the world that this commu- nifty stands unequivocally for the en- forcement of all law and order.
 To this end a mass meeting is here by called to assemble at the Jeffer- son Theatre in this city on Sunday. September 27th, at 2 p. m Colonel Bush will preside and Judge s. D. Weakley J. W. Minor, of Ensiey, and j. H. Head. of Bessemer, and others, will make short talks. The ladies are
