Report OF Grand Jury.

To the Hon. E. o. Sykes. Circuit
Judge, Monroe County, Mississippi:
We, the Grand Jury of said county,
summoned, empaneled and sworn for
the September Term, 1905. of the said
Circuit Court, having completed our
labors as such Grand Jury, beg leave
respectfully to make this, our final
report:
We have been in session 1e days,
have examined I36 witnesses and
have turned into open court 20 bills
of Indictment, and have referred no
misdemeanor cases to the Justice of
the Peace from which district said
misdemeanors are said to have been
committed.
AS body, we visited the jail of
county and find the same well kept,
and the inmates well cared for.
In this connection we desire and
earnestly urge our Board of Super
visors, to have built at an early date,
sufficient fence or enclosure around
the jail property, TO prevent outsid-
ers from getting in or near the Jail
building.
We also believe and recommend
that our Board of Supervisors, pur-
chase at once at least two well train
ed blood-hounds for the purpose Of
running down fleeing criminals. The
knowledge that we have such dogs
will probably prevent may crimes
being committed.
By a committee we have visited the
county poor house of our county, and
are pleased To report that from our
| best information, that our unfortu-
mates are comfortably and kindly
| cored for and we'll treated.
The officers books and accounts of
our county officers have been exam
| ined by committee, and from the
| limited time in which this committee
| has had to examine the books and
| accounts, we feel satisfied that they
are correctly and neatly kept, but
having such short time, only limit
| ed examination could be had.
We are sorry to. be forced TO report
! that crime seems to be on the lu-
| crease in our county, which is shown
| by the unusually large number of in
dictments for felOnies returned by Us.
We desire to extend our thanks to
the Judge, District Attorney and
| other officers of the court for their
courtesies extended US and their as
sistance tous so cheerfully rendered.
1t is the wish and sincere desire OF
Grand Jury that we will have nc
change made in our Circuit Judge,
and that he will be reappointed by
| Governor Noel.
Asking to be finally discharged.

j. w. Gathings.

Another grand old man who Of
fered his all to the Lost Cause,
passed over the dark river to join
his comrades in death, last Fri
day. ]. w. Gathings was in
his SIND year and has always
been hale and hearty until the last
twelve months when his strength
began to fail.
Jack" Gathing came to Prairie,
Mississippi in 1S47 bought land and
has always lived on same place. At
the call of his country he enlisted
with Captain Dick Beans company
at Buena Vista which company was
in Chalmer Brigade. fourth COM
mand, participating with his gal
liant company in some of the most
desperate engagements of the war in
a brilliant manner rejecting honor
on his own name and his command
as we'll. He was a noble old gen.
tlemen of the old South and his
place can never be filled with fami.
ly, friends and State.
He was buried at Aberdeen, fol-
lowed by large concourse of
friends and relatives. A beautiful
tribute was paid at the grave by
Rev. Porter. -Okolona Messenger.

War On SparrOws.

The English sparrow has had
many bitter thing said to him, in
the United States practicularly, and
war has been declared against him
so often that the declaration causes
no more stir than a TolstOi edict
against the Russian government.
America became heartily sick Of
this alien nuisance years ago, fought
the pest internationally for time,
but in recent years appears to have
settled down to the unpleasant con-
viction that nothing could be done.
Now comes Rider Haggard, the
writer and thinker, to propose a
national movement in England to
exterminate the sparrow. He
brings a sweeping indictment
against this enemy Of the farmer,
the bird that lives on the food Of
men, instead of the enemies of
mankind as do most other birds
This writer suggests that local anti
sparrows leagues be formed through
out the kingdom and amalgamated
into a national organization for
greater efficiency. Such local or
carnations We're once common in
this country and for a time a
bounty was paid by the States
for the killing of the sparrow.
The Haggard suggestion is timely,
not alone in his own country. but
in America a. we'll cleveland

Fair Play.

Partisan Roosevelt, true TO his i'm
pulsive nature and prediction to hit
an enemy with his big stick when e
is down, has struck Senator Foraker,
and. likewise, has taken a "swipe"
at GOV. Haskell, Secretary Of the
Democratic Campaign committee.
The evidence Is in 80 far as Foraker
IS concerned he is a dead dogin the
ditch, but Gov. Haskell occupies the
unique aud embarrassing position of
being accused by the Chief Executive
with no proof of guilt so far submit
ted. OF course, Mr. Roosevelt has
some grounds upon which to charge
criminal utilization of Mr.. Haskell
with Standard Oil and must, under
the challenge of Mr.. Bryan, produce
them, or else be held in public
contempt as we'll as bring defeat to
his party But Mr. Roosevelt belongs
to the original Ananias Club organic
ed in America, and, if he can not
dodge the truth by direct prevarica-
ton, he can distOrt falsehoOd until it
will have the semblance of fact.
With this wonderful gift. he may be
able 10 class Gov. Haskell along with
Mr.. Foraker, and thus bring disaster
to Democratic chances for success.
Mr.. Roosevelt is an astute man and
what he can not do in the field of
coloquilism is an unsolved problem.
Certainly, however, he has not taken
the American people for a lot of lob
sters, who will believe any charge he
may make just because it proceed
ed from the mouth of Theodore, the
high ''Muck-a- Muck" President of
the United States Provided such is
the case, he has now been check
mated by William Jennings Bryan,
who calls upon him, in no unmistak-
able terms, to produce proof to sub
stantiate every charge against Gov.
Haskell who bears in great degree
the good name of Democracy in the
present National contest. That Mr..
Roosevelt has something up his
sleeve, no one doubts. He could not
afford, at this critical juncture of the
campaign, to promulgate charges of
such serious nature unless he had.
That he Will use his "big stick to
accomplish defeat for Democracy for
all the charges are worth, also
nobody doubts. But. with the i'm
maculate Bryan standing sponsor for
the integrity of the Democratic par
ty, and his splendid manhood to
purge of any opprobrium that una
wares might have attached to it, the
Democratic hosts, if the ordeal should
come, have the qualities to come out
of the contest chastened and to vic
tory.
But, Mr.. Roosevelt, come forward
with your proofs. If Democracy has
the compeer of Senator Foraker in
iniquity standing high in the coun-
ellis of the party, convict him with
testimony-notw with Roosevelt utter
ances and he will be relegated to
the shades of obscurity and branded
with Jhe contempt of his country
men. If you can not do this, go
away back and sit down?'

Local Union No. SIS Denounces
Night Riders.

From local lodge No. 535, Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union,
comes unmistakable denunciation of
night riding. The resolutions, passed
by that Union and printed below, not
only expresses denunciation but
breathes that high and patriotic SEN
timent characteristic of the Southern
Southland rests with such honest sons
of toll, and though the unhallowed
trusts and gamblers may block their
endeavors and take without adequate
compensation products made in the
sweat of their brOws, still, they win

striving to elvate themselves, their
posterity and country by lawful meth

THE RESOLUTION.
At a regular meeting of local Union
No. 535, Monroe COUNTY, Mississippi,
September 10, 1905. the subject of no
tees to ginners to stop ginning cot
ton, alleged TO be posted in some sec
tions, was discussed, and the un-
dersigned were selected to draft and
furnish to county papers for publica-
ton resolutions expressive of the SEN
timents of the membership on this
subject.
We feel that il would be an insult
to and discount of the intelligence
of every good citizen TO suppose any
one would believe that the farmers
who compose the membership of the
order, have suddenly developed into
anarchists. or are such fools as not to
know that they could accomplish
nothing but would likely lose all by
such methods. We recommend i'm

member, if there be such, who NAV
be known to advocate or indorse
such, as an enemy of and traitor to
the principles of the order. Whom |

When you have a cold you may be
sure that it has been caused indirectly
by constipation and consequently you
must first of all take something to
move the bowels. This is what has
made Kennedy Laxative Cough Syr-
up so successful and so generally de-
manded. 1t does not constipate like
most of the old fashioned cough cures
but on the other hand it gently moves
and at the same time heals irritation
and allays inflammation of the throat.
