Keeping the Streets Clean.

Apropos our remarks last week
anent the efforts Of the Civic League
to keep the streets clean and
their apparent discontinuance there
of, one of the leading members
of the league has explained to
us why the work could not be
carried on anv longer. In the
first place the man employed to
look after the sidewalks had more
work attend to than he could
manage and do justice to each of
his several avocations and was
therefore released from his employ
ment by the league, partly be-
cause he did not do the work
satisfactorily and partly because
the depleted treasury of the league
did not justify them to continue
hiring a man to do the work
that should properly come with
in the province of the town
council. An appeal has been
made to the new council by rep
resentativcs of the league and
they have promised that arrange
ments will soon be made to keep
the sidewalks IN better condition
h the council, thus relieving the
ladies Of 4 burden that they
never should have felt il necess-
AIRY for them to assume. As
one of the members remarked, tic
funds Of the league should b,
applied TO Identifying. the town
qftsr the city fathers have
had the streets cleaned sui
fic:rntly t. give the ladies a
worki0g basis and encourage them
in their efforts to make the town
pretty and attractive.
We thought all the while that
the ladies were doing more than
their share in undertaking to keep
the sidewalks clean, but as one
of them put it, it seemed that
unless they did this work it
would not be done at all.
Now, the thing to do is for
the city council to have the
drudgery work done for the Civic
League, whose members will then
be able to expend their energies
and finances in making us a
city beautiful.

VIEWERS ARRESTED

 this place, who was arrested in New
 Orleans yesterday on a charge of peon-
 age and released on bond, was rear
 rested this morning on his return from
 the latter city, in connection with the all
 legged killing of white stranger named
 Brett several weeks ago by a negro em-
 ployed at the eVnters plant. Instruc-
 tions were also sent to the sheriff of
 Harrison county at Gulfport, to which
 place E. s. Moore. Venters' foreman, was
 taken for a hearing on a peonage charge, to rearrest Moore in the event of his being admitted to bail
 It is alleged that negro named Tom Slayton, guard employed on the tur- pentne farm, administered a severe beat ing to Brett, from the effects of which the latter is believed to have died and his body disposed of. It is in this con nection that the second arrest of Ven- ters occurred and warrant issued for the rearfest of Moore, as they are al legged to have told the negro to admins ter the whipping.
 Slayton made his escape yesterday and although large parties of citizens have been searching for him no trace of the negro has been found.
