/ Jackson, Miss, Aug. Soldiers
of the National Guard are being we'll
led by the government, and the Unit
ed States War Department does not

MANY NEGROES ARE
Being SENT NORTH
MILL WORK o NpousEE-TRAcK-
ING OF 4. c. HAS
STARTED.

jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.-During the
past few days there have been some
where in the neighborhood of five
hundred negroes sent north 60 work
on the double-tracking Of the Illi-
nois Central Railroad near Mattoon,
III. Most Of these negroes have been
gathered from Mississippi and Louis
lana. They all seem to be big, husky
negroes and are good specimens Of
the genuine negro laborer
The Illinois Central local that went
north from this city last night carried
a special coach containing about sixty
five negroes and there were about
twenty-five that could not be carried
on that train who were left here in
Jackson. They will be sent forward
some time today The negroes that
went up last night came mostly from
Louisiana.
There has been complaint recently
from the farmers OF this state about
the hard time they were having in get
ting negro labor on their farms. They
could not understand what had become
of all the negroes. For sons months
agents have been busy at work in this
state and have been gathering up the
negroes and shipping them north to
engage in different kinds of work. There
seems to be quite an amount Of con
struction work going on in the north
ern states and the southern negroes
are being gathered for this purpose
thus working hardship on the south
ern farmer, who depends largely OF
negro help.

"SAY SQUIRREL" "IS

American Thus Proves He's No Ger

New York, Aug. 24.-J. j. A. Muir

who spent the past four years in Eng
land, said on his return on board the
American liner Finland, that he was
saved from Imprisonment and possi- |
BILE execution as a spy by the word |

E He was released he said, after he
satisfied British officers that he could
pronounce the word in the true Eng
lish fashion.
Mr.. Murphy decided last Christmas
to go on walking tour through Ire
land, where he had no expectation that
his name would arouse suspicion,
Under the impression that no pass
ports were necessary to go from Eng
land te the Emerald, Isle, he set out
innocently, but was arrested at Holy
head because he lacked the all-impcr-
tant papers OF identification.
Several bayonets were held ticklish-
ly close TO his ribs while English Off
GERS made inquiries as to his past life
and future career. Through one Of
them, territorial. treated him as IL
all artists were open to'suspicion,
captain inI the regular service acted
more like "an officer and a gentle
man. and suddenly shot this order at
him:
"say 'squirrer!"
Mr.. Murphy, whose touch of Irish
brogue and American enunciation has
in the last few years been overlaid
with English diction, mumbled the re-
quired word. The officer promptly
commanded that he be set free. 'a
"A German" explained the captain
"cant say the word-he loses it down
his throat An Englishman slurs tho

tongue. You said it like an English
man." fss
