JACKSON, Miss :, October 5.-Su-

and Deputy w. ]. Brown began this
morning the preparation of the civil
docket for the first district, which is
to be called upon the reconvening
of the court next Monday, after a va
cation of three months.
The first district has smaller num-
Der of counties than either the second
or third, but usually has larger
number of cases because it contains
the states four largest towns, jack
son, Meridian, Vicksburg and Green
vile, and takes out a strip through
the center of the state east and west.
The counties in the district are At
tala, Bolivar, Kinds, Holmes, Issa-
quena, Kemper, Lauderdale, Leake,
Madison, Neshoba, Newton, Noxubee,
Rankin, Scott, Sharlley, Sunflower,
Warren, Washington, Winston and
Yazoo.
The docket for the district will be
given out during the latter part OF
the present week and contains large
number of cases which have accumI.-
lated during the vacation period. AT
ter two weeks, or on Oct. %, the tate
or criminal, docket, which includes
all three Of the districts and is
handled without reference to district
lines, will be taken up and called uu-
til finally disposed of. Thereafter
the state docket is called every third
week, regardless of what other bus
mess may be pending.
All three of the supreme judges
are now in the city, ready for the
opening of the fall term.

down diamond drill tests of the prop

Camp Is Guessing.

Just what card is up the corporate
sleeve is keeping half the camp al
Sudbury guessing. The prevalent idea
is that the greatest nickel mine yet
unearthed is hidden beneath the ledge.
Sudbury, three hundred miles from
Toronto and north of Lake Huron, is
nested in country, rough, broken, ex-
tremely rocky, and full of deep cool
lakes. The famous camp at Cobalt
is still farther to the north. The clay
belt, densely timbered, $50 miles by
$50 miles in extent, lying beyond the
rock-rib like the lean in a fitch OF
bacon, is poor mans country Much
of it is easily ploughed, and team

ricultural laborers. Their masters
prescribed hours of toll and rest, pro-
vided homes and overlooked their
amusements. Irrespective of any hui
name motive, the masters selfish in
terest demanded the best possible
care of his property.
THE planters had received from
Africa horde of barbarians, who had
no idea of hygiene, sanitation, or
medicine. The planter took this stock
and made healthy race in a new
land. His system was simple; he
enforced the primary laws of health
Every plantation constituted a sepa.
rate community. The will of the
planter was the supreme law. He
located his slave quarters on the
healthiest spot of his plantations, laid
them out in the form of little vii
lage, with separate house, yards, and
gardens for each family. There was
good water and good drainage. Space
and air were cheap; every negr, had
plenty of both and the overcrowding
of cabins was never permitted. When
family became too large for one
cabin, another was assigned. Each
cabin had its open fireplace the best
of ventilation and an ample supply
of fuel"
Conditions Changed.
Conditions since the negro was Civ
ne his freedom have changed. The race
was permitted to develop, or rather
degenerate, willy-nilly. The results
are not what the abolitionists expect.
ed Judge Dickson does not aim to
defend or idealize slavery. Far from
it. But the regular, well-governei
life, he writes, proved vital in build
ing up race of strong parents and
healthy children. The negro. in 1862,
was near-perfect specimen of physi-
cal man, while Sin the South today
the negro lives where he pleaess, and
in such manner as suits him best.
The plantation quarters are not laid
out as formerly, the cabins are scat
tered, often without regard to sani-
tation or water. No efficient super
vision is exercised over the negro's
care of his cabin. He is VIGOROUSLY
unclean. His home is rarely white
washed or disinfected. In the rural
districts the blacks have nothing like
the medical attention and care that
was formerly bestowed upon them.
Negroes dearly love medicine; all
kinds Of YARDS and teas and concoc-
lions. They delight in dosing them
selves with patent conju-charms."
Mr.. Dickson says that the deadliest
enemy of the negro is tuberculosis
but it is a new enemy Old-time

imous in the opinion that before the
war tuberculosis was less frequent
among the negroes than the whites.
Some of them mention it as exceed
ingly rare-many insisting that the
black man was practically immune to
the white plague.
After the war the negros environ.
ment changed; he was free to do as
he pleased There was an immediate
increase of all the old diseases, the
acquisition of new ones, and a few
inventions. His birth rate dropped;
his death rate went skyward. The
process of deterioration began at
once.
One reason why the negro is in
the grip of death is that for the last
thirty years he has shown a tendency
to abandon the field and flock to the
pavement. He cannot resist the gas
light, the brass band, and the street

Not Self-Sustaining.

Mr.. Dickson declares that Gin no
Northern community is the negro
self-sustaining. His birth rate does
not equal the death rate, and immi-
grafton from the South alone main
tains his numbers. Every Southern
negro who goes North is to a great
extent withdrawn from the reproduc.
tive population. That is to say, he
does not contribute to the increase
of his race by maintaining a birth
rate in excess of his death rate. II
can safely be said that in no North
ern community is the negro self-sus-
tanning. Shut off immigration and
the race will ultimately vanish from
the North. In New Hampshire, for in
stance, there were 651 negroes in
1890 and GA in 1890"

philanthropists, the author claims.
can only lead the negro to lessening
independence and greater incapac-
1ty to stand alone.
From an economic point of view
this phase of the negro problem is
staggering-this frightful waste of hui
man life and efficiency. For instance,
we will suppose that 1000 white and
1000 black children are born on the
same day in Washington, d. c. OF
these, 663 white children will reach
twenty-five years as against 401 ne
groes. The sisnifiance of this simple
statement is appalling as it affects
the comparative economic value of
the two races. 1t is a finger point
ing to destruction.-Ham Mag

account Of the killing Of Lawson, and
it was published i'll the Calhoun
Times with the request that if any
Of Law>on'S relatives were still llv-
in" in that community that they
would communicate with him. He
has never heard from any Of them.
and he does not know whether any
of his immediate family are now
living: if they are. he would be glad
. to hear from them.
Capt. Billie Smith says that prob
ably young Lawson was a member Of
the 10th Georgia Regiment. Capt.
Smith thinks. and we agree with
him. that it would be \ proper tribute
TO build some sort OF monument to
young Lawson.
We would be glad to know if any
Of the older citizens Of Newberrv
recall or remember the incident here
related regarding the death of Law
son. Or if they know where he is
buried.
Capt. Smith says that it was from
1852 to 1856 that he knew Lawson
at Calhoun, Ca, and it was during
this time that Lawson's father was
railroad agent.
Capt. Smith says that the day
Lawson was killed was one Of the
hottest days in August that he ever
experienced.

DEATHS.
Death of Mrs. Ellen Waits.


Just one week ago from to-day the
spirit Of Mrs. Ellen Waits took its
flight to a fairer and better land.
She had gone on a visit to her daugh-
ter. Mrs. T. L. Cameron, in Saluda,
starting early on Tuesday morning,
and she said that she felt better than
usual. Her husband and one daugh-
ter, and little baby boy accompanied
her to Mr.. Cameron and oh! how
sad to the rest Of the children when
she was brought home cold and still
in death.
Mrs. Waits had been a sufferer for
several months with paralysis, but
she bore it all without a murmur. All
that loving hands could do was done
for her, but on Tuesday, October II,
1909, the Lord saw fit to cell her to
her Heavenly home above.
Weep not, dear loved ones, but
only strive to meet her in fairer
land, where there will be no parting.
All through life and down to the end
her hearts affections were entWlned
around the loved ones at home.
She was laid TO rest III Bethel GEM
etery in the presence Of a large
concourse of relatives and friends
whom her life had blessed.
Mrs. Waits was 81 years, 4 months
and II days old.
I'm her death a faithful wife,
true mother, a good neighbor and
friend has been called to her reward
on high.
\ devoted husband and i.ne low
ING children mourn their irrepara-
bic loss, but let them Icc- tat their
loss is her eternal gain.
She is dead, bur the Impress OF
her life will long be felt in the COM
munitv in which she lived.
May her children never waver in
their determination to meet their
sainted mother in heaven.
May our Heaveny father keep
them till "the sweet bye and bye"
when there shall be happy reunion.
A Friend.
