negro, CRAzED ON
COCAINE, CUTS UP
NUMEROUS ANTICS
Was in State of Frenzy When Dis
covered by Mr.. M. J. McGrath.
Arrested by Police.

About 1880 Sunday evening Mr.. NJ.
j. McGrath was sitting on the gal
lery of his residence, corner of Bay
street and Rebecca avenue, when NE
saw negro raving from the effects
of an over-indulgence of cocaine, and
with his clothes torn until he WAS
half nude. Realizing that in his
crazed condition the negro, whose
name was Dan Moore, should not be
at large on the streets, Mr.. McGrath
tried to speak to him and stop him.
This was impossible. for natural
strength and the fierce will-power
supplied by the cocaine made the
negro so powerful that he wrenched
himself away from Nc McGrath and
started wildly off.
By this time several men had gath
Grad and together they overpowered
the negro, tying him with ropes until
he lay on the ground helpless. A pit
iful object of humanity, groaning and
heaving in utter misery and Juggling
at the ropes that bound him.
A call had been sent for the police,
and while waiting for them, DR.. I.
H. c. Cook happening to pass by, saw
the negro and gave him something to
quiet him. A fiat wagon had been
sent for, as it was impossible to move
the poor dope fiend in anything else,
and when it came he was taken by
the police to jail
1t was the sentiment expressed in
dignantly by every man in the group
that gathered around this poor crazed
victim of the cocaine habit that the
law for Furnishing the men and firms
selling cocaine should certainly be
more rigidly enforced, as they GER
tainly are more to blame than the
poor ignorant negroes who buy the
stuff, and thus make themselves dan
gerous to the society of the commu-
nifty.

DIVIDING a Iona Serm on,

DR.. Samuel Buell. of the last half Of
the eighteenth century. who used TO
preach two or three hours, like Isaac
Barrows. was ingenious in OBTAINING
his congregation. On one occasion. aft
err preaching nearly two hours-as long
as he could feel secure in the presence
of all his hearers-he remarked that
he was done preaching to sinners and
that they were at liberty to go: the
rest of his discourse would be ad-
dressed to good people.
A gentleman who once went to hear
him stated that when the hourglass
was nearly ready to be turned sec
ond time from the commencement of
his sermon he said. much to the relief
Of the person who related it. "Once
more" After going on some eight or
ten minutes longer he said. ITO con-
clude." and after another about equal
interval he said. LASTLY"
The gentleman added that he expect
ed every moment to hear him say "Ev-
erlastingly"

UNUSUAL PETITION is
PRESENTED TO NOEL

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 10.-A very
unusual pardon petition has been
presented to Gov. Noel in behalf of
Newt. MCGEE, a negro sent up from
Lafayette county to serve a oRe-year
term for completely In changing the
brand on a COW belonging to w, T,
Morgan. 'ss r..
According to the petitioners, Nc
Gee turned states evidence and was
to have been used by the district at
torney as a witness against his ac.
completes, r. A. Graham, white man,
and Bonnie Mcintosh and Ike Wilson,
negroes.
Through an inadvertence when ar.
raigned, however, MCGEE entered
plea of guilty, and the court had no
alternative save to sentence him.
Graham, the white man, was given
a 3-year term, and the negroes, Will
son and Mcintosh, one year each.
1t is claimed by the petitioners that
MCGEE had been a tool in the hands
of Graham for some time, and that
he went voluntarily before the grand
jury and told of a number of similar
offenses in which the same parties
had been engaged, it seeming that
Graham was a leader in criminality
in that neighborlood and used the
negroes as his agents.
1t is urged that MCGEE should be
pardoned because of his implied I'M
Outstanding with the district attorney
and because he is a material witness
in other cases.
Accompanying the petition is a let
ter in which it is charged that Ora
ham and his accomplices had been
working in the Abbeyville nefghbor-
hood for nearly twelve months, and
that they had stolen and changed the
brands on no less than % cows.

Johnny ]. Jones, the prince of enter
tainers, will bring his great exposi-
ton company to the fair, opening up
the first day and staying by the show
till it ends. And, as he has twenty
two paid attractions within that many
tents, beside many free shows, the
visitor who lacks entertainment will
be hard to please. One of his free
leaders is the worlds only one-armed
high diver; another is the cyclone
leap over the death chasm. There
are, besides many other outside shows
and a ten-year- old girl who makes
daily balloon ascensions. Two of the
finest brass bands procurable in the
South and the indoors Mayes orches-
ira, with pianos, pianolas, etc, will

A VANISHING Tin,

When vanishing wood the work
must be done in warm room at a
temperature of at least rs degrees f.
At a lower temperature the moisture
in the air will give milky and cloudy
appearance TO the varnish. On the
other hand, at the higher temperature
the moisture is not precipitated until
the alcohol of the varnish has sufi-
GENTLY evaporated to leave a thin
smooth film of shellac. The durabil-
ity and gloss are dependent on this.

STATE ITEMS Of
GENERAL interest

In Edward Cain, a 12-year-old negro
boy, Mississippi has probably one of
the youngest oonvicts in the Urited
States. Cain was recently sent up
from Holmes county by Mr.. Lamar
Easterling, of this city, who was
holding court as special Judge, in
stead of Judge j. M. Cashin, who is
ill.
Cain was convited of burglary. He
had rather a bad name, and no one
seemed able to do anything with the
little negro, so he was given two
years in the penitentiary in the hope
of improving his morals. The boy
only smiled when sentence was
passed on him, and has already be-
gun his term on Parchman farm.

The harvesting of the cotton crop
is making splendid Roadway in all
parts of the State. Picking is gen.
eral, and the seed cotton is being
rushed to the gins as fast as it can
be taken from the fields.
There does not seem to be a scare
ity of labor in any part of the State,
fair wages are being paid to ginners,
and if ordinarily good weather pre-
walls the bulk of the crop will be har-
vested before the list of November.
In some communities a fair-sized
crop is promised, and the farmers are
hoping for open weather until about
the middle of November to permit
the maturity of the late planting.
Except in the communities thick'y
infested by the pest, the ravages of
the boil weevil are at an end for the
present season, and farmers are max
ing preparations to burn the cotton
stalks as soon as they can be gath
cred in the fields.
