While the town was being awakened
by the repeated shooting, Frank Kings

shot dead. Reynolds Kingsley. his son,
who ran to his fathers aid, was wounded
in the arm.
By o'clock the shooting had assumed
the proportions of a battle. but the ne
grses were crafty and deity evaded all
pursuers. Sheriff Hammett drove from
Fayette to Harriston accompanied by
Tom Hammett, his aged father and a
deputy sheriff, and o. 5. Gillis, clerk of

Gillis, with pistols drawn. approached
the house and called upon the negroes 10
surrender
When they got within 100 feet of the
negro's house, they were met with a vol
ley of shots. Sheriff Hammett fell dead,
and Gillis terribly wounded. the elder
Hammett dropped TO the ground and
crept away.
News of the riot spread, and at 4
clock two special trains were made I'D
at Natchez and hurried to Harriston with
surgeons and nurses. Scores of armed
men clambered aboard at stepping places
and by daylight Harriston looked like a
frontier town preparing for an Indian
raid. The whites, however, made no at
tempt to storm the house or mill. In
stead, a steady stream OF bullets was
kept pouring into each building.

Force was necessary, however, to pre-
vent Miss Ona Hammett, a sister of the
slain Sheriff, from an attempt to recover
her brothers body. She had come from
Fayette with a posse at dawn.
Finally, Thad Greyson, an aged negro
under promise Of a $40 note, approached
the Jones home and parleyed for sur

Only Patterson had been wounded. 1t was
found that their supply of ammunition
had been exhausted.
Walter Jones was shot while trying to
escape.
Preparations for a lynching were well
under way when the militia from Natchez
arrived on a special train. The soldiers
were told firmly to stand aside, and at
the command lined up while Will Jones
was hanged to a telegraph pole and Wal

The pleas Of several prominent citizens
spared Prophet and Patterson a like fate.

The Jones brothers were released from

Nine Months Schooling in the Country

I'VE ought to have nine months of
free schooling for every child in the
rural districts says DIR. P. p. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation In a letter to the superin-
tendept of public instruction in the va
rious states, Mr. Claxton calls atten-
ton to the present short rural term
and makes an earnest plea for a cam
paign by the state officers to bring
the short term for country schools
up to that for city schools. Many of
the state superintendent have al
ready pledged their assistance in a
nationwide movement to bring this
about.
DR.. Claxton points out how far we
are in this country from approximat-
ing at present eevn the lowest mini
mum he names-a school term of 100
days. The average length Of the rural
school term is only 1873 days, or little
less than seven months, while for the
| cities 1t is 184 days, or more than nine
months. Only two states, Connecticut,
and Rhode Island, have school terms
exceeding nine months in rural dis.
tricts. Eleven others have country
| school terms of between eight and
| nine months. They are California
Iowa, Michigan, Maryland, Kansas
Nebraska, New Jersey, New Jersey
New York, South Dakota, Washington
and Wisconsin.
Many states are considerably below
the seven months average. In mum

open for only six months. Florida and
Arkansas keep their schools In rural
district open for five months while
North Carolina, South Carolina and
New Mexico have apparently been pro-
barely four and a half months of
schooling every year.
Nearly all the city schools
the commissioner shows, already have
nine-months' terms, 40 days or more,
with well trained teachers, and there
is no reason, he declares, why the
country children should not have as
many days of schooling and as good
teachers as boys and girls in the city
DIR. Claxton asks a minimum school
term for the rural districts of eight OF
nine months eight temporarily; a
minimum qualification for rural teach
ers of four years of high school and
not less than two years of college or
normal school education, and good Ii
braries for all rural schools. with
these" he says, should go an effort
to adjust the work of the rural schools
more closely to the needs of country
life"
A number of the states with short
rural terms are making splendid eff
forts to bring the country schools Ut
to the standard Of their city schools
in length of term and other essentials
DR.. Claxton believes that all the states
will be aided by a concerted movement
for better rural schools throughout
the nation. -..s.

PRETTY FiNERY.

Richmond women, young and old,
are wearing some unusual and pretty
new spring finery. One attractive
young woman was seen recently in a
hat the shape of canoe, with a
great cluster of roses protruding from
the rear and hanging down the back,
almost to the high waist line of her
white coat. The roses were in every
color almost to be found in the sum,
mer flower garden and were tied with
black velvet ribbons with long stream,
ers. An elderly woman with white
hair had on green straw boat-shaped
hat, with girlish streamers reaching
far below her waist. The hat was

BEAUTIFUL GOWNS.

In Richmond stores one may see
some beautiful gowns for summer
wear, made of wolfe. crepe de chine,
etc. In fact. one seldom now sees the
null, fine linen, lawns or Swisses that
were worn so much in other seasons.
There seems to be a general demand
for the soft materials. which lend
themselves to graceful drapery, rather
than the wiry materials. Now that
1 the artist is taking a hand in regulat-
ing costumes along the lines of the
supposed right canons of art, there are
many innovations. The editor of the
Christian Science Monitor, in com
menting upon this trend of fashion,
suggests that since art and fashions
have always been closely associated
the fashions should always be, al
though they frequently are not, a high
expression of art. He says further
and his opinion will doubtless find in
dorsement here: The French have
applied art very successfully to the
styles. So, indeed, have the English
the Germans and the Austrians. So
| it may be added, have the Americans
and the other peoples. But Paris, Lon.
don, Berlin, Vienna and New York
during recent years. have fallen into
the lamentable attitude of following
rather than leading in the mode. Art
in fashions, as in every other depart
ment, finds expression in almost count
less ways. There is no general agree
ment as to just what form this ex
preston should assume for any given
purpose. Fashions will have advanced
to a far higher plane than they &C,

jected to the tests that art applies

Heart toHeart
Talks
MOTHERS PENSIONS.
BY JAMES A. EDGERToN

A short time ago the newspapers re-
ported the first mothers pension or
dered in Philadelphia.
This is a new thing in America, al
though there has been more or less
agitation in it's behalf for the past few
years, and some progress has been
made in Illinois and elsewhere.
Now comes the welcome news that
mothers pension legislation is before
the legislatures of many states.
While the idea is new in this coun-
try, however, it has been tried with
great success in Europe.
As advocated in the United States
the mothers pension is supposed to
cover only cases Of actual need-where
the mother has been left a widow or
is in INDECENT circumstances for other
reasons.
The argument in its favor is not only
sentimental, but economic. It is claim
ed on expert authority that 1t is cheap
err to give the mother certain stated
amount to look after her little ones
than it would be to keep them in an
institution.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't It?
Besides, 1t is better for the children.
Their mother is their natural pro-
tector.
It keeps the family together.
A child needs a mothers love and
care as much as 1t needs food, cloth
ing and shelter.
In after years 1t becomes a better
man or woman because Of the memory
OF a mothers love.
Such a recollection lends moral stat
urc and spiritual background.
Who ever heard of any one shedding
tears or resolving to reform and lead
a better life over the memory of an
institution
Only the thought Of a mother can
work these spells.
We give countless millions to the
care Of helpless adults. to the insane,
the very poor and the defective.
Yet these have no future. Neither
are they of any benefit to society.
Why should we not give to the care
Of the children? They are the citizens
OF the future.
There exists as great sentimental
reasons to cherish them as to house
the defective adults. In addition there
10 the powerful economic reason that
every dollar expended for them is more
than repaid in their value to society.
Charity for them is not a gift, but
n investment.
The most businesslike way to make
this investment is to place it in the
hands of their mothers. That plan In
sures the largest return on the money.
Each of us can help in this worthy
cause by seeing that the Legislators of
our respective states exact mothers'
pension legislation.
II you think well Of it why not write
to your state senator and representa-
tive to that effect?

The manager looked around for Mil

several of his assistants all over the

him before the footlights to address
the ciamorous audience.
After some time spent in searching
Miller was spied sitting among the

INTEREST IN FEDERATION.

Interest in the council of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs con-
tinued through the sessions, as was
shown by the fact that the attendance
did not grow less, the audiences at the
final meeting quite filing the assem-
bly, room of the Raleigh Hotel. There
were 2,23S delegates, more than 900 of
whom were from outside of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The largest attend
ance at any preceding council was $50.
The reasons for the unprecedented
number at this council were several.
In the first place. the fact that it was
held at the national capital brought a
great many. for people like to go to

lars in color, with flowing Quarter
Latin ties. both collars and ties being
in the same materials-soft silks. with
plain hemstitched edges. This nell
gee fashion looks as if it was in for q
run of popularity. and the severe styles
of the costume coats seem to be par
ticularly adapted to it. Skirts remain
about the same in width, but curious
lines are introduced, and the seams
instead of running in the customary
straight line from waist to hem, are
built on the spiral system, and there
