on the minutes as follows:
with profound sorrow we record the
death of our friend and co.worker, Lou
II. Brown, which occurred at Denver,
Colo, on Monday, January q 1908.
I'VE can measure our loss only by
his past achievements. He has been an
earnest worker and member of this
Board since the organization Of the
Village of Dcming, in 1902. and our
Records abound with evidences Of his
energy and ability.
Though at the head Of one OF the
lading financial institutions in the
Southwest, and of two Of our lead
ing Industrial enterprises, he had
thought for the youth Of our city and
ltl provide for their comfort aud
amusement, for il can truly be said he
was the Father of the Adelphi Club,
and no laudble enterprise, whether Of
a public or private character, but that
raraiyel his puthusfastir assistance
and support. Kind, courteous, chari-
table to a fault, We recall no one who
has gone from our midst whose un.
timely fate seems so lamentablc
In the prime of life. he stood in that

and glorious achievement. But in the
maturity of his powers, with unmeas-
urrd opportunity for good before him,
with great designs unaccOmplished, suf-

solicitude of family and friends, the
palid messenger with the inverted
torch bcckoned him 10 depart. His sun
went down at noon, but It sank amid
the prophetic splcndor OF an eternal
dawn.
As further mark Of respect, the
Board then took recess until Mondoy,
February 10. lgUs, at O'Clock p. m,
at the parlors Of the Harvey House, at
Dtming, for the purpose of filling thS
vacancy upon the Board Of Trustees.

NEGROES INDIGNANT
and TALK OFLYNCHING
Isaac Alexander Young Is in Jail
Charged With Attempted Assault on
Ten-Year-oId Negro Girl-Arrested
and Brought to Jail by S. p. Carter.

Isaac Alexander Young, a negro was
brought to the city this morning and
placed in Jail with the charge of at
tempting to assault negro girl placed
against him. He will have a prelimin-
ary hearing before Justice Bolton Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock.
The negro was brought in by Messrs.
S. P. Carter and R. L. Draughn and the
scene of the attempted crime was on
Mr. Carter's place.
Mr.. Carter is employing from 25 to
30 day hands to pick cotton on his
farm. Among those so employed were
Isaac Alexander Young and Harris
Smith and his daughter, Mary, the lat
ter being about ten or eleven years
old. These three negroes were occu-
pying the same cabin in which to
sleep, and it was during the night that
| the attempt was made on the little
negro girl. Harrison Smith. the father
of the girl, became suspicious night
before last of some movements he had
seen Young make, but which he was
not sure were Of evil design. Last
night he watched Young and saw
enough to convince him that the negro
Young had designs on the girl. He
spoke to Young about it and old man
Smith and his daughter went to Mr..
| Carter's residence and reported the
matter to Mr.. Carter. When they
went back to the house Young was
gone and a search was made for him.
They went to the cabin of an old ne
gro, who said he was a preacher. and
asked if Young had been there. The
preacher replied that he thought he
had, but he was doing and was not
sure. A search showed that Young
was in the house and he was taken
into custody by Mr.. Carter. The
preacher was very much incensed
when he learned the charge against
Young. He said he was a law-abiding
citizen, but he was rather of the opin-
ion that the best thing that could be
done with Young was to string him up,
as he might get free and attempt the
same thing and next time it might not
be a negro girl The preacher and
the other negroes seemed to feel great
ly outraged over the matter and sew
eral suggestions of lynching were
made. 1t was decided, however. to
bring the negro to the sheriff and let
the law take its course. This advice
was given by several parties, among
them Captain Rich, and other members
of a fishing party from Hattiesburg,
who were passing that way.

STATE TREASURER EDWARDS
STICKS TO HIS CONVICTIONS
REGARDING DEPOSITORLE.S

"The supreme court has held that
if treasurer fails, for any reason, to

guilty of embezzlement and his bond

pie of Mississippi as their state treas

election, because of the confidence
which they reposed in me, and because
of the belief on their part that I would

money is lost either through stupidity
or by peculation.
Desiring with all my heart to COM

not deposit any of the public money

not worth par in the market; it is not
worth anything. If depository which
had given surety bond as security for
the money were to fail, could not sell
their securities for one cent.
For the life of me, cannot har-

provision which says No bonds shall
be accepted as security if worth less

This would give Bryan an electoral
majority of 209.
But the committee adds this state
ment:
"Of course we do not make any such
ridiculous claim as would be indicated
by this table. We give the figures to
show what the result would be if the
same changes were made all over the
country as were made in favor of the
state Democratic ticket in Maine, and
we used the figures for Bryan's last
race for comparison. It is probable
that the changes over the whole coun-
try will be as great as in Maine, but
it is not probable that in Maine the
Democrats will cut the Republican
plurality so low for the national as for
the state ticket. The result in Maine,
making all possible allowances in IA
vor of the Republicans, indicates the
election of Bryan as almost a GER
tainty."

State Treasurer George R. Edwards,
Jr. stated this morning that another ef-
fort is being made to force him to de-
posit state money with banks Offering
only surety bonds as security for it,

that form of collateral. Mr.. Edwards.

he determined that surety bonds were
not collateral, and not properly desig-
mated as such.

County sending in two receipts for
