SPECIAL JURY.
To Appear Monday, April 18th, 1909.

ne JAN register SHOWS WHlte
man, 3 negro women, one an un-
fortunate, aud 81 negro men,
total of % prisoners, the largest
prison list since Mr.. Hughes has
been Sheriff. OF this numberj6
are levee camp negroes.
Joe Watson, colored boy ID
years old and living on Delta, shot
and killed another boy about the
same age this week. 1t seemed
that the dead boy invited Joe to
join the Anpanias Club, where
upon the latter pulled gun with
the above result. He is in jail.
by. Sheriff N. H. Clark went
to Plaquemines, La, last week,
after the negro Dave Gussett,
wanted here for killing a negro
man and wounding woman on
Raritan plantation some time
ago. Gussett made his escape
but was later captured at Plaque
mines. He confesses to the kill
ing but claims self-defense.
Cornelius Young, the woman who
passed file to the prisoners IN
the St. Joseph Jail, with which
they very nearly succeeded In eff
fecting escape, was tried last week
and given sixty days in jail. The
sentence would probably have been
heavier but for the impaired in
tellect of the prisoner, who was
thought to be the dupe of another.
Two notorious crooks, George
Breeland and James Armstrong,
confined in the Natchez Jail, sawed
their way out last Friday night
and made good their escape. Be-
fore leaving one of the pair left
his goodbye with the significant
4 inscription on the walls of his
cell, "23 for Breeland. The name
of the other might also have been
added, for he "skiddooed" too.
A shooting affray between a he.
gro man and woman took place
at Barrow's levee camp, near Wa
terproof on Monday night, the
man, Willie Martin, having. shot
the woman, Charlotte Burden, in
the leg with revolver. Both were
brought to Jail and the woman;
wound treated. A preliminary
trial was given Thursday and the
woman's testimony taken aud she
was sent to the Natchez hospital

pledge ratified by the voters of his

on the tariff before a large audience.
.'CannoniS-n," he described as des-
potis:n and suggested an amendment

boss rule. He said in part:
IF all Democrats in Congress vot-
ed against every proposed increase
of the tariff and for every decrease,
We might has fight next year upon
the party's record without a specific
declaration ON the items of the sched-
ules but as the Democrats differed
as to the Interpretation of the Dem

form to be specifically emphatic. II

congress we must convince the peo-
pie that we favor material reductions

ic candidates reflect the wishes of
