Weston Democrat SAYS:

Weston Democrat saws:
The protests Of the Monroe Watch
man, Green3rier independent and
other democratic newspapers Of the
state against the nomination and
subsequent election Of senator C. w.
Watson have seemingly aroused the
ire Of the Charleston Gazette, owned.
by the chiltons, and which was one
OF the very few papers to support
the successful candidate for the
short term before the caucus, and
in lengthy editorial it attempts. to
set itself up as the Democratic party
and broadly asserts that the "scold-
ings" of party papers furnish fuel
for the Republican campaign fires
of 1912.
While the matter is none OF our
business directly, and the papers
mentioned may be relied upon TO
make an able defense Of their posi-
ton. backed as they are by prac-
tically every Democratic newspaper
in the state. we can not help hut Of
fer the suggestion to the Gazette
that it go slow with its tsurpation
Of the part of spokesman for the
party or II miGht he rudely awakened
to the actual situation and find it to
be that OF the Democratic party and
the Charleston Gazette at serious
odds.

tract of Concrete Con-
struction Company.

Win all une members OF the city
council present except Councilman
Cork, that body was quite busy at
Its meeting Friday night, several
questions of Importance being dispos-
ed ofwhile others were discussed and
preliminary steps taken to carry out
several movements that will prove Of

tons brought up and to be disposed
of later are a,he@]fre department and

one set of poles.
b Chairman johnson of the fire de-
partment reported that it was lmpos-
sible to ascertain a correct pay roll
for The volunteer firemen at the Trad
ers corner and Moore building fires.
Chief Burr WEIGH was reported as
stating that the pay roll for the for
mer fire had been cut in twain on
that account and as 1t appeared be-
fore the council the amount was sSO7.
The Moore building fire pay roll for
volunteers was presented to the
amount of s2S. The BILLS were con-
tinued with the FIRE committee for
further investigation and report.
Chairman Johnson suggested that
the city have an entirely new fire de-
partment. including fire alarm sys-
tenn costing between $4,000 and $4,000,
an automobile combination fire wagon
and new building with latest and best
apparatus at the present department
house, an additional house with com
bination wagon and equipment on
Oak street, a fire truck, 5000 feet of
additional hose and possibly a fire
engine, aggregating a cost of between
$4,000 and $4,000. The fire COM
mittee was directed to further inves-
tigate the matter, ascertain the cost
and report.
Recommendation was made that the
city accept the proposition of the
Concrete Construction Company and
cancel its contract. This was acted
on fayorably. The mayor and city
clerk are to pay the creditors of the
company out Of the money due the
company and it was ascertained that
more than 5000 would be left to cover
defects in the work done. This
amount is said to be ample. The
clerk was directed to advertise for
bids for the completion of the work
that company had contracted to do.
The list of creditors the mayor and
clerk were authorized to pay as a
result of the agreement with the
Concrete company as follows:

COCAINE CAUSE OF INSANITY.
Mississippi Legislature Has Problem to
Wrestle With.

Jackson.-One of the problems that
will confront the next legislature is
that of the negro criminal insane. The
county jails are full of them, the county
frams are full of them, and one of the
main negro wards of the asylum has
lately been destroyed by fire. The
alarming increase IN the number of in
sane negroes is due to the prevalence
of the cocaine habit among them, and
they are the ones giving the police and
peace officers of the various communi
ties the most trouble.
There are few depots of supply in
the state, and several of them are To-
Gated in Jackson, so the officers believe,
and they are exercising all efforts to
break them UP, but those negroes who
use the stuff are as secretive as the
grave as to where they get it, and it is a
hard matter to obtain the evidence upon
which conviction may be had.
However, the officers have a line on
the source of supply and think they will
be able to land some of the offenders
behind the bars, it now being a peniten-
tiary otfense in Mississippi to sell the
deadly stuff.
