concerning the Peters Lake
bridge O. Mr.. Banister was so
timid or narrow in his last minu.
tee Of the Police Jury, and did

feel like that I should tell the
truth in the matter. There were
three votes cast, r. E. Keaton.
G. A. Jenkins for the said bridge
and ]. W. Knight against it.
It was not that I oppose any
public improvement, but the lack
Of revenues Of this parish, should
cause any member Of the Police

'hjS vote. when it comes to about
1900 debt. Truly,

McComb, City, Miss, Nov. y.
After q desperate hand-to.hand
fight with Earnest NAYS, a burly
negro prisoner, Wright Reed, an
officer, shot his assailant, posi-.
bly, fatally III the city Jail this
morning.
Reed had entered the jail to
take out the road gang, when
Mays attacked him in an effort
to secure his revolver. The men
struggled fiercely, knocking
down the stove and causing q
panic among the prisoners.
Despite the fact that the door
was open, none Of the prisoners
made an effort to escape during
the fight, which lasted nearly 8
quarter Of an hour.
Pulling away from Reed, the
negro dashed out of the door in
an attempt to escape. After
cries of halt failed to stop the
fleeing black the officer fired
shots, one Of which took
effect, snd the negro toppled in
q heap.
Physicians say he may not
survive the results Of q wound

ONE TERM AGITATION REVIVED
IN CONGRESS.

Senator Works Has introduced ResO-
luton to Limit Presidents Ser
vice.
Washing ton, d. c., May 6.-Both
Houses of Congress are getting busy
on the question of making the Presi-
dent ineligible to a second term.
Senator Works, of California, has
introduced a resolution for an amend
ment to the Constitution making the
term six years and limiting the Pres
ident to one term. Chairman Clay
ton, of the House Judiciary Commit
tee, has introduced like resolution
in the House.
The Senate Judiciary Committee Is
expected to make a favorable report
on the works proposal.
Chairman Clayton, of the House
Judiciary Committee, says his COM
mittee will report the resolution, and
will meet within a week for that pur-
pose. He believes that both Houses
of Congress will pass 1t, and that
three-fourths of the States will rati-
fly it.
Many Senators and House mem
bers favor the plan. Some, however,
think four years amply long.
