TWO YOUNG HEROES.

Columbus, Miss, May clancy Glib
son and Carl Ussery, two young boys
of this city, acted heroes at a late
hour Sunday afternoon in saving the
lives of 14-year-old ode Lellar and
Lester. Lellar, aged 20, sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Lellar.
The young men were in bathing in
the LuXapalila river, one mile east of
Columbus. Ode Lellar, who is unable
to swim, went into the water over his
head and had gone under the third
time before being reached by his
brother, Lester, who, after bringing
him to the top of the water, was uns
able to manage himself in the swift
stream The Gibson and Ussery boys
seeing that their mates were in dan
ger of drowning, rushed to their rescue
and brought them to shore.
Both iBibson and Ussery will be rec
otnmeAded for medals for their heroic

erlaly in this vicinity, but all crops,
with the exception of tomatoes. would
be greatly benefited by good rain at
this time.
Tomatoes are growing very rapidly,
conditions being practically perfect for
tomatoes. No harm will come to this
crop if we do not have any rain for a
week longer. A continuation of such
favorable weather conditions will
cause the crop to mature very nearly
on time: still car lots can hardly be
hoped for until May 10, because the
present dry weather is retarding its
growth and maturity.
Peas are producing larger yields
than usual, and the quality at this time
is excellent. The first heavy move
ment of the season was forwarded yes
terday, when two cars were shipped
to Chicago and one to Pittsburg. The
heaviest shipments of the season will
be forwarded next week. Two5thirds
of the peas are of the large podded va
riety known on the. markets as "Tele-
phone" peas.
Beans have gotten good start, but
they also are in need of rain, and to
some extent being on the, .standstill
until we have more rain. None will
be shipped until the latter part of May.
Carrots and beets are making splen-
did progress, and we shall have fine
crop of these. Very few will be ready
for shipment until the middle of May.
After several weeks drought the
Louisiana strawberry district was Wis
tied by a good rain a few days ago,
which greatly improved the outlook
for strawberries, and saves the crop
from 'ruination" that seemed immi-
nent preceding the rain. Movement is
heavy, but not near as heavy as in the
middle of previous seasons, but ship
ments will doubtless increase in vol
ume a little later as result of the good
rain they have had in that section.

CANDIDATE SUICIDES.

Yazoo City, Miss, May 5.-Matt Tay'
Ior. prominent BentOnia merchant and
candidate for sheriff of Yazoo county,
shot and killed himself this morning
at his Bentonia home. No cause Tor
the reported suicide can be assigned
here. Mr.. Taylor was apparently IN
good health, prosperous. and was con-
sidered the most popular candidate in
the approaching county election.
Mr.. Taylor was seen this morning
and appeared to be in almost Joylal
humor. He gave no intimation Of his
intended act and this fact was prompt
ed the belief that his death was acci-
dental He retired to his bedroom
about o'clock and was alone when
the sound of a shot attracted the at
tention of the inmates of the house.
A negro employed on the Taylor place
forced his way into the room ana
found Mr.. Taylor in dying condition
The body was stretched across the bed
and there was bullet wound in the
temple caused by a revolver bullet.
Mr.. Taylor was the son of the late
Capt. II. l.. Taylor, a prominent resi-
dent of Yazoo county. Several years
ago he succeeded his father as head
of a large and prosperous mercantile
business in Bentonia.

ology. The railroad alleges that these
commissioners. to-wit: F. NJ. Shep-
pard, George r. Edwards and William
B. Wilson, in preparing the schedule
of rates on the specified commodities,
should be restrained from enforcement
of said order. 1t is set forth that the
rates at present in force are reason
able and just to shippers, and afford
no more than a fair rate of remunera-
ton to compliments for the service
performed; that the rates promulgated
by the commission are unjust and un-
reasonable, and would in effect
amount to confiscation or taking prop
erty and earnings without due process
of law.
1t is set forth that the complainant
has not paid dividends on outstanding
stock for the past two years; that it
has not earned sufficient money to pay
operating expenses and fixed charges.
Yet if the court should refuse COM
plainant the relief prayed. for; and it
should of its own volition refuse to
obey the extreme mandate of the COM
mission, it would subject complainant
to penalty of $500. All things con-
sidered the bill sets forth that the CON-
pany has a proper right of hearing,
and throws itself on the court as the
only relief, pending the ultimate deci-
sion of the questions in the chancery
court, which is the only tribunal
through which relief can be obtained.
Under the provisions of the order at
Tackled in the bills just filed the new
rates were to become effective April
80, and, so far as the Southern Rail
way in Mississippi is concerned, the
application for injunction serves as a
restraining order The railway COM
pany will contend that the commodity
rates complained of were not the re-
suit of a general demand of citizens,
but were evolved by the commission
itself; that the people of their terri
tory are apparently well content with
existing rates, as no serious COM
plants have been filed, so far as the
