AS result of careless driving on
the part of Richard Ware, negro
hack driver. who recently knocked
down and ran over Mrs. Ed. Blakeley
as she was coming from the North
eastern station, it seems that the ne
gro has gotten himself into little
more than peck of trouble, from
which it will take him some to re-
cover.
Tle accident happened on Mobile
street about two weeks ago as Mr..
were coming from the Northeastern
station about nine o'clock at night,
after a visit out of town, and Ware
was tried in the police court the fol-
lowing morning on a charge of reck-
less driving. 1t developed at this
trial that he had been given sufficient
warning to either stop his team or
turn out, but that he did neither
After knocking down and running over
Mrs. Blakeley, without stopping to see
whether she was injured or not, he
whipped up his horses and attempted
to escape in the crowd of hacks on the
street at that time. His arrest followed
about an hour later. He was given a
fine of $25 and 10 days on the streets
by Justice Davis, but made sufficient
bond and appealed the case to the
Circuit Court.

farm OPERATIONS
ON in EARNEST
Farmers of Mississippi Have Made
Good Headway With Planting
Crops During Present Week.

According to advices received from
over the state, the farmers of Missls-
sippi have made fairly good headway
with planting their crops during the
past week,
The unreasonable cold weather pre-
vailing during the middle of the week
retarded operations somewhat, and
also damaged early fruits and vege-
tables to some extent but no wide
spread damage was caused, and if
fair weather prevails during The COM
ing week the farmers will doubtless
succeed in making up for lost time.
A considerable portion of the acre
age is yet to be prepared for cultiva-
tion especially in the lowlands and
the delta where the soil has beer too
wet to plow. Practically all the acre
age thus far planted has been devoted
to corn and forage crops. Only in
few localities has any portion of the
cotton crop been pitched.
That there will be heavy increase
OF acreage in corn, hay, potatoes
peas. etc, is generally conceded, and
the reduction in cotton acreage will
be correspondingly large.

Following the failure of the leader
of the Republican regulars to adjust

several hours, the insurgents issued a
statement in which they said they

that the regulars had refused to meet
them half way.
They said that on the proposition
of the regulars to retain the speaker
on the Rules committee, they stood
immovable, and declared that the
