NoRRELs DIED.
Negro Shot Near Conn While
Being Arrested Died of
Wounds,

Hazlehurst, Miss, Sept. H.
The negro, Ruben Norrels, who
on last Sunday shot and killed
Willie Beall, a prominent white
farmer nine miles west of here,
died in the Jail last night from
wounds received on the day of bis
arrest. Norrels was arrested at
Conn, this county, last Thursday
morning by Sheriff Lowe and a
posse aud hurried here in an auto,
He was badly shot resisting arrest.
It was feared that a mob would
take Norrels from the sheriff be-
fore his arrival here, but cooler
counsel prevailed. and M. S. Nc
Neil, former district attorney, made
a powerful plea for the law to take
its course.
1t was thought by Mr.. Mcneil
that Norrels knew something about
the murder of S. Q. Martin. which
took place in this county about
a year ago. Martin had just left

Last winter eBsilage fed cattle
brought five cents per pound and
paid handsome profits. The price
the coming winter should be seven
cents per pound, with no additional
cost for feeding. The farmer who
is able to build silo can no longer
be without one. There is no food
as good as ensilage which can be
produced at half the cost.

THE SYRUP PLANT.
Practically Complete, and Already
Purchasing from the
Producer.

The Port Gibson Pure Syrup
Co. has practically completed its
plant at the compress, and has be-
gun the purchasing of syrup.
The plant is modern in every
way, is arranged for handling syrup
in the most convenient and mex
pensive way, and is located where
it has ready access to the railroad.
When the company has sufficient
syrup on hand to begin operations,
samples will be sent to dealers
who have been in communication
with the company. AS sales are
made the company will either can
or barrel and prepare for shipping.
Girls will be used to fill, seal and
label the cans. The arrangements
for this part of the work are very
complete and convenient, and
should be attractive employment
for the gentle sex.
The Pure Syrup Co. expects to
put only a good product upon the
market, thereby building up a rep
utation which will create a ready
demand for its syrup.

he noticed him. Norrels' family
were notified of his death by Sher-
iff Lowe, but they refused to claim
the body, and it was buried Satur-
day morning in the potter's field.
Special to N. o. States.
A dispatch from Hazlehurst,
giving an account OF the capture of
Norrels, says:
"The western portion of Copiah
county, as well as this city, has
been greatly aroused over the un-
provoked and foul assassination of
Mr.. Beall, and ever since Sunday
evening armed parties have, both
night and day, been securing the
woods from Hunter to the Clai-
borne county line in search of the
murderer.
"Sheriff Lowe, with a number of
other officers and citizens from this
place and Crystal Springs, has
been out since the search began
and using every effort to capture
the negro, but all efforts were fu-
lile until this morning, when about
daYbreak Norrels went to the.
house of an old negro woman,
Mandy Cage, and demanded food.
She promised to prepare it, but
pretending to 90 after wood, es-
capped from him and notified Mr..
Shaifer, living near, and be imme-
diately summoned two other neigh
bors and went to the woman's
house.
"Norrels broke to run, but was
shot twice by Mr.. Cassil with buck
shot and then surrendered.
"Norrels has been a desperate
character for several years, and he
is thought by many to have been
in the killing of S. @.
Martin, living neor Barland, a year
ago. Many other crimes have
been laid to Norrels, but no proof
could be secured with which to

his sick wife at her fathers and
gone home to look after domestic
affairs, when neighbors saw Mar
tins house in flames.
On their arrival the fire had
gained such headwaY that it was
impossible to get to Martins body
Later several negroes were arrest
ed in the neighborhood in an effort
to find the guilty parties. Martin
was secretary of a local lodge and
had collected considerable money
the day before the murder, and
the theory is that he was robbed
and murdered and the house fired
to cover the crime. Norrels was
at his uncle's, a short distance
from the scene, and it is thought
that he knew something about the
murder of Martin, but the sweat
ing failed to get him to say one
word that would indicate that he
knew anything, and Martins death
is still shrouded in mystery.
Norrels was considered a mean
negro, and when asked why be did
not kill A. G. Hall, who was in
the buggy with Beall when Beall
was shot, said that he would had

to enforce them. Among them we
find the following, which should
cause our grocerymen and fruit
and vegetable vendors to "sit up
and take notice.;
"All grocery stores and wherev.

must be kept clean and free from
litter and accumulated dirt.
"The counters, shelves, drawers
and bins must be kept clean and
free from foreign odors. All fruit

out being cooked must be screened.
"Whenever fruit, vegetables and
groceries are exposed near the door
and on the sidewalk they must be
placed at least IS inches above the
ground,
"All lard, sugar and such food
products must be kept well covered
and handled under sanitary condi-

There are too many middle men
between the producer and con-
sumner. The consumer finds him
self compelled to pay big prices
for his food, while at the same
time the producer is not getting
what his product is worth. This
in a large measure is the trouble
with the high cost of living. What
we need is concert of action on the
part of the producers whereby
those who actually consume their
products can be reached without
the tolls taken by the jobbers and
retailers. 1t can be done by send
ing agents to the large cities and
selling to retail merchants, who in
turn sell direct to consumers.

UNREASONABLE LAWS.
New Law Governing Newspapers
Burdensome.

Washington, Sept. 16-Postmas.
ter General Hitchcock To-Day issued
instructions for carrying into effect
the new newspaper and periodical
law, first returns under which must
be made by Oct. I.
The law requires that publishers
shall file on the first days of April
and October of each year, both
with the postmaster general and
with the local postmaster, under
penalty of denial of the use of the
mails. a sworn statement Of the
names and addresses of the owner
publisher. editor, managing editor
and business manager of their
newspapers and periodicals.
Religious. fraternaI, temperance
and scientific publications are ex-
cepted. For corporation, the
rames of the holders of more than
/ per cent of the stocks. bonds or
other securities must be given, and,.
in the case of daily newspapers, a
statement of the average paid cir
culation for the preceding six
months Is required.
All editorial or other reading
matter appearing in a newspaper
or magazine for the publication of
which pay is accepted or promised
must be marked advertisement, :"
under penalty of fine of not less
than $50 or more than $500.
although this law was not fa-
vored by the Postofice Depart
ment," said Postmaster General
Hitchcock to day. cit will be adj
ministered faithfully and impartial
ly. In framing the act Congress
doubtless had in mind the leading
daily newspapers, but it will affect
also nearly 18. 900 weeklies. Many
of these publications are having a
hard struggle for existence. and
-ill find the making of returns a
considerable burden.
"In my judgement-and l SO
expressed it to Congress-the pro-
vision will be harmful, as it will
require the continuous use of val
liable space in the publication, and,
at the same time. be resented as a
censorship of the press.
Zone of the greatest difficulties
now encountered in the enforce
ment of the law relating to the Sec
ond- class mail privilege is that the
Postohice Department is compelled
by law to make inquiry into so
many aspects OF the private busi-
ness Of publishers.
This gives rise to the complaint
-iIl.founded. in my opinion hat
the government interferes nee -
ly with privileges of the press NV
Judgment is that it should be the
constant aim, not only of the Con
gress. but Of the Postofice Depa
ment, to lessen the necessity for
of the public press in
the enactment and administration

Hay, grain and stock make an
excellent substitute for cotton,
though the latter may successfully
be planted as surplus crop. Let
us get this one thing in our heads
1.-The farmer who depends upon
one crop, no matter what the crop
may be, sooner or later must fail
The cotton belt survived under the
one-crop system longer than any
other section has done, but its days
were numbered even had not the
boil weevil FASTENED the end. And
if the system had been allowed to
die a natural death, the country
would have been so d. plered that
recuperation would hardly have
been possible. AS it is, we are in
condition to build up and finally
be in better shape than formerly.

Neither the cotton nor corn crop
is making what was promised earl
ier in the season. Cotton has fallen
off amazingly and late corn will pro.
duce but little. Even the pea crop
is not as good in places as was in
dicated prior to the drouth. How
ever, in some sections great guam
titles of peas have been harvested.

this year in this section than ever
before, and the hay is of a better
grade. The season has been good
for both growing and harvesting,
and thousands Of tons will be

A good oat crop next spring
would be a valuable help in the
way of bringing in some cash dur
ing the dull season. Then your
ground could easily be prepared
for one of the best of all hay crops

Even the much praised alfalfa is
no richer in the necessary elements
which go to make a fine winter
food.

The first rain in FIVE weeks fell

ideal condition for cotton picking
