Harriston, Miss, Oct. 3I.-In
its issue of yesterday the Fayette
Chronicle takes exception to the
Picayune news item from Harris
ton, which stated that the town of
Fayette was deeply in debt and
would have to issue bonds. The
Chronicle states that the town has
a bonded Indebtedness of SIS, 900
and about $4,000 in outstanding
accounts. The town retired S. 1000
of bonded debt during the year and
owing to the accidents to the mu-
nicipal water and light plant, it
may be necessary to reissue them.
The town of Fayette has received
an offer to buy the water and light
plant, but it will probably be de-
clined, for it is. stated, on good au-
thority, that the offer was much
less than the actual value of the
plant.

FARMERS SON UNDER ARREST.
Friends of school Teacher Victim
Storm Jail at HuntIey, Ill.

A mob gathered about the Huntley
CID Jail and threatened to lynch Archie
Moore, u years old, son of a wealthy
farmer. who was arrested for attacking
Miss Virginia Martin, a school teacher.
The youth was secretly removed from the
Jail, thus foiling the angry farmers, who
were clamoring for vengeance on account
of the serious condition of Miss Martin.
During the night Marshal Dwyer of
Huntley had difficulty in controlling farm
ers who had captured Moore after a two
mile chase in an interurban car. The
car crew. led by Joseph Dorsey. began
the pursuit at Almora within few mo
ments after Miss Martins screams at
tracted William Wohrle, a farmer. The
latter seized Moore. who is said to have
dragged the school teacher under the rail-
road station. The prisoner broke away,
and Wehrle called the car crew to follow
him with the car. Moore attempted to
elude his pursuers by running through the
woods some distance from the track. Dor
sey and the car men continued the chase
on foot and caught Moore half q mile
from the tracks He attempted to fight
but yielded when Dorsey threatened to

of the affair from becoming public failed,
and when he was taken back to Huntley
angry men demanded that he be turned
over to them. Michael Martin, father Of
Miss Martin, was urged to lead mob,
but Marshal Dwyer prevented such ac-
ton. Martin swore out warrant and
officials removed the prisoner to Elgin for
trial.

To Make the Negro Work.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman. in the Amer
lean Journal of Sociology, offers as a So
luton of the negro problem that the
whole body of our negro population that
is in degenerate condition from what
ever causes be organized into great in
dustrial army, controlled by the State and
under strict military discipline. This army
should have uniforms, decorations, titles,
ceremonies and a careful system of grad
ing, membership to be a sign of honor
and advancement. Enough should be
placed upon farms to provide for the en-
tire body, and the farms should be in
themselves schools of efficiency. Others
should be placed in shops and mills to
clothe the rest and provide other articles
of necessity. But the main occupation of
the great organization would be in the
construction of better roads. Mrs. Gil
man argues that with kind. but firm,
treatment, good living, reasonable hours
and the absence of the strain of personal
initiative which tells upon the negro in
ordinary life competition. a great amount
of useful work and betterment could be
thus performed But as fast as the indi-
viduals proved their capacity to work I'M
der their own initiative, they should be
graduated with honor, thus the institu-
ton being compulsory at the bottom and
free at the top.

GAY LIFE TRAIN PERIL.
Gambling, Drink and Other Dissi-
psfions Blamed for Rail Wrecks.

Railroad wrecks in this country are
brought about by railroad employees who
drink, gamble and indulge in other forms
of dissipation and not because they are
overworked. according to the theory adj
vanced by DR.. r. W. Corwin. division
surgeon of the Missouri Pacific at Pu-
eblo, Colo, in a paper read before the
New York and New England Association
of Railway Surgeons at the Academy of
Medicine in New York. IAN engineer
who backed his train into an excursion
train" said DIR. Corwin, was found to
have been worrying over the fact that the
night before he had gambled away his
pay check. The employee who uses his
hours of recreation for gambling, drink
ing and smoking to excess is no more fit
for work than is the man who has been
on duty eighteen to twenty hours" con-
hnued the surgeon. 1T may be neces-
sary to reorganize the medical depart
ments of the railways of the country. 1t
IS far better to keep men in good ply
steal condition than to effect cures; to
provide employees with good environment.
L am told that the greatest trouble the
manager of a large railway had was to
provide counter attractions to the saloon
and gambling hells to which his men re-
sorted when off duty. Sometimes, too men
met and married women in cheap board
ing houses. where conditions We're none
the best and when the men were promoted
their wives were found to be a handicap
TO them. as they failed to rise in the So
cial scale with their husbands or to share
their ambitions
