Make LEGISLATORS Sit Up and Take Notice

Our present Governor has sub
mitted to the State Legislature one
OF the most accurate and exhaustive
papers upon the needs and re-
sources OF the State of Minnesota
ever written, according to the press
critics of the country. Perhaps
there are some of views not CORE
spending to those of the Governor
who do not think 80 highly of the
message. Il certainly makes grea,
amount of "copy" for the press
world. 1t is suggested that this
unusual length is the chief critic
ism. At any rate the legislature
will have to burn midnight oil if
they cover the ground delinated
with the proper legislation. A few
of the chief points of the document
are as follows.
Reorganization of nearly all
branches OF State Government with
view of centralizing responsibility.
Combining the State Oil Inspec-
ton Department with the State
Dairy and Food Commission.
Abolition of the fee system in all
Offices.
Placing the boiler inspection de-
partment under the work of the
labor department.
Creation of a state land depart
ment by a constitutional amend
ment.
Survey and classification OF the
public lands.
Provide for more adequate forest
fire protection and assess the cost
against the owners of the timber.
Placing the administration of
state mines under department of
mines.

Decaturville, Tenn, Dec. 15.-(Spe-
cial. )-Lige Scott, a farmer who lives
five miles south of Decaturville, was
arrested to-day, charged with being
accessory before the fact in the MUIR
Ger of Ben Pettigrew, and the latter's
son and daughter on the afternoon or
December 2. SCOTS arrest followed
a confession made by George Shelton
and John Bailey in letter addressed
TO Shelton's father, the later having
feen intercepted and opened by the
sheriff of Decaturville county.
Admitting that they killed the Pet
tigrews, Shelton and Bailey charged
that the murders were committed in
pursuance of a plan formulated by
Scott. The object of the men was
robbery, Pettigrew having been one
of the most prosperous Negroes In
this section of the state
Scott has been committed to Jail
here without bail. He refuses to ad-
nit that he had anything to do with
the horrible crime perpetrated by
Bailey and Shelton.
The story of the tragedy given In
ChC ulSpdlCl llOln OlllIOu Was duCleQ-
tic. AS it was reported that Shelton
and Bailey had offered to make
full confession on condition that
they should be guaranteed immunity
from capital punishment, it is peril
nent to state that no such promise
has been made them, and but for the
interception Of the letter addressed to
Sheltons father, both men would
probably have pleaded not guilty.
The crime of which they admit they
are guilty, was one of the most he'll
nous ever committed in this locality.
They assassinated an unarmed Negro
and his son and wounded his twelve
year-old daughter, the girl being shoe
in the hip as she was fleeing from
the scene of the tragedy. She fell
to the ground and one of the assas-
sins then blew her brains out. They
killed one of the mules of team
harnessed to wagon loaded with cot
ton, which belonged to Pettigrew. The
bodies Of Pettlgrew and his son were
found on the wagon partly cremated,
the assassins having set fire to the
cotton.

among the teachers of Central Ten
nessee and there is to be a coming
together of the forces engaged in
making the next generation of color
ed citizens of Middle Tennessee It
has been growing during the past
two years and reached it's culmina-
ton at the beginning of the present
year when the school principals of
Nashville decided to take steps to-
ward the organization of the public
school teachers of Central Tennessee.
A circular letter has been sent out
by the Nashville Association and
every mail brings some hearty re-
sponso and assurance of cooperation
from the teachers of the state. AS

pected to be on hand at Pearl High

follows:
Nashville, Tenn, Nov 3, 1911.

cooperation, individually, and to urge
all county associations to select two
representatives to attend a meeting
at Pearl High School, at ten o'clock
on the morning of December 26th,

Each county association is hereby
requested to forward the names of
delegates chosen, so that all arrange
ments may be made for their re-

arranged to enable the teachers at

hoped that each county of Middle
