JUDGE TURNS FARMER.

Gulfport, Miss, Feb. 5.-Owning a
fine tract of land on 28th street, Judge
Wesley G. Evans, lawyer-farmer, has
adopted the slogan that all men who
are blessed with such a possession
should make it supply all of his table
needs. He has bought the latest farm
ing implements with which he will
prepare the soil for planting. All the
stumps and roots have been removed
from the tract to be cultivated, and
it is said to be fast approaching per.
feet state so far as preparation goes.
The Judge will plant 10000 stalks of
sugar cane from which he will derive
his supply of sugar and syrup and two
or more acres he will devote to sweet
potatoes, while the rest of the farm
comprising about 10 acres, will be
used for producing other table nec-
essities.

INVESTIGATE LYNcHINo.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 5.-As a result
of conference held last evening be-
tween Gov. Brewer and Sheriff John
Hyland and County Attorney ]. J..
O'Neil. of Warren county. there will
probably be a rigid investigation made
of the lynching of Ed Johnson, ne
gro, which took place in that county
about three weeks ago.
Johnson was charged with stealing
cow, and had been arrested by a
deputy sheriff and carried before Jus
tice Stout for arraignment when the
mob took him into custody and the
lynching followed.
Forty-eight hours later it developed
that the COW in question had not been
stolen. The owner, an old negress,
reported that the COW returned home
the next day.
Neither of the officials taking part
in the conference would make state
ment at its conclusion, and thus far
Gov. Brewer has not issued a reward
proclamation. 1t is believed, however,
that he will put special agents at work
on the case. The Warren county Of
fcials returned home on the night
train.

AID FOR STUDENTS.

Agricultural College, Miss, Feb. ).
Two years ago, previous to the de
mise Of the late President Finley Of
the Southern Railway, he donated
$500 to this institution following the
delivery by him of the annual address
to the senior class. This money was
placed on the books and known as the
"Finley loan fund" to be used to
help worthy young men of the upper
classes who have not sufficient funds
to enable them to remain at the col
lege through their graduating year.
This fund has been added to by direc-
tors Of the Southern Railway, Capt.
T. B. Franklin, member of the board
of trustees of the state institution and
others. Poor boys are being he'ped
through junior and senior years from
this fund at this time. Last week
Adrian Iselin, Jr., who purchased cot
ton in the South during the "buy-a
bale movement" placed a bale pur
chased in Mississippi at the college

CHILD LASHEs ATTACKERS.

Natchez, Miss, Feb. 5.--Numerous
partles of grim visaged men secured

OF Natchez last night in a vain effort
10 capture two negro men who during
me afternoon attacked pretty ten-year.
old Charley Audley Marshall. The
child, who is the daughter of a prom.
ihent Natchez family saved herself
from probable serious handling at the
hands of the negroes only through re.
'narkable presence of mind.
Little Audley Marshall was return.
ing to her home here after a ride en-
her pony into the country. As she
moved along secluded road two ne
groes halted her horse and one of the
men made an effort to drag her to the
ground. The child lashed at the men
with her whip and seeing that she
could not drive them off turned her at
tentlon to her pony. She struck the
animal until it reared breaking away
from the man who held the bride
strap and then. bolted down the road
carrying his youthful rider to safety.
When the child reached her home
she was bordering on nervous collapse
and was only able to give a dlscon
nected account of the negroes attack
Later, however she was able to fur
nish sufficient information which sent
numerous residents of Natchez and
neighbors of the Marshall family on
the man hunt.
1t Is believed that one of the ne
groes is injured as the pony, when he
reared, knocked the man down and
the horses hoof struck the PROSTATE
form several times.

Could We Use German Ships?

Ii Is not supposable that the Ham
ourg-American and North German
Lloyd lines would sell their splendid
ships,-whether to the United States
government or to private American
purchasers,-except to find escape
from n predicament into which they
have been thrown by the war. To
make such sale would release cap
ital, which could be used for the more
immediate promotion of Germany
maritime interests. The established
principles of international law as re-
lating to the rights Of neutrals, in
their maritime commerce. are far from
being just or suitable. 1t is not fitting
that angry belligerents should take
possession of the worlds common
highways and subject peaceable neu.
trails to great loss and inconven-
ience. But we cannot change the
principles of maritime international
law merely to suit our own interests.
while tho war Is raging. II we had
intended to assert the right to buy
the shipping Of a disabled belligerent,
who had suffered bad luck in a still
pending war. We ought to have made
due declaration Of that purpose well
In advance of the breaking-out OF the

and the immunities Of private property

fit We could from these arbitrary doc
trines during our Civil War: and we

upon when world peace comes.
