News Of fhe Week From
 Capital Of Missis ssippi
By P. E. FRANTz.

Jackson. Miss, June &.-(SpecialD John Hartfield, the Jones county negro who kept young white girl in the woods all night two weeks ago, outraging her repeatedly, it is said, has paid the pen alty all such brutes will pay in Missis- sippi Since this infamous affair be- came known, thousands of men, black aa well as white, have been securing the woods in three or four counties for the fiend and they got him Thursday after noon.
 It has been known all along that the brute would be lynched if caught alive, no secret being made of this intention i. and when his capture was reported here :, Governor Bilbo was asked what he was going to do to prevent it. replying: s 'I am powerless to prevent it. We j have guns for state militia but no men. ', I. is impossible to send troops to the scene for the obvious reason that we have no troops.
 g several days ago, anticipating trouble of this kind in the event of the capture :. of the negro, I discussed, the matter with s,Adjutant General Scales, and he agreed with me that nothing could be done, in solar as furnishing troops are concerned, i. and that if the sheriff and civil authori- ties cannot prevent lynching it cannot be prevented.
 
 hunt has been in progress since June 15. Thousands have joined in 1t. excitement :, is at fever heat, and any attempt to frustrate a lynching would unquestion- ably result in hundreds being killed.
 By the way" said the governor of Mississippi, '-it has occurred to me that if the people of Mississippi elect Longino as their governor, the family of John Hartfield can then draw pension from the state, and thus the majesty of the law will be vindicated."
 That last paragraph is some political play. and will cost Longino, candidate tor governor, many a vote. Governor

KOSCIOUsKO OFFICE SEEKER
VERY FEW APPLICANTS

The state board of health met here this week for the purpose of examining ap- plicants for license to practice medicine and was met by one of the smallest classes ever known-H in all The small number is due to the fact that under re- cent laws applicants must have a good literary education and be graduates of some first class medical college-a law that puts up the bars against lot of ig- noramusses who could hardly write their rames and had attended some cheap so- called medical school for only few months. The people of the state are more than satisfied with the law that pro- tects them against quacks and frauds. In years gone by, when the bars were down. the classes averaged about 250 every time the board met for examinations. Two of the 31 applicants were negros.

DIsTILLERY IN JACKSON

Two white men, Odum and SandhHge, were arrested by Deputy United States marshals in the western end of Jackson a few days since and lodged in jail on the alleged charge of operating a wild cat distillery right in the capital city
 From physical evidences, the alleged moonshiners seemed to have been doing land office business. Fifty gallons of corn meal mash was found in two bar rels and destroyed. The fixtures were new and up-to-date, and if the operators had escaped molestation for another month or two, selling booze at s10 or SIP per quart, they would soon have been able to retire on handsome competency. The prisoners will have preliminary ex- animation so soon as the federal district attorney returns from the Biloxi court.

ON A PINEY-WOODS FARM

Down in Forrest county, in the very heart of the cut-over pine region of Miss issippi, F. H. Flames. assistant farm de- monstratiation agent for the southern half of Mississippi, has discivered a 20- acre field of corn that is even now good for. an average of 50 bushels per acre, and on which the young son of the farm er member of the Boys Corn club, has one acre that will yield at least 100 bush- els. The field is planted with every third row to velvet beans, and there the farmer will fatten his hogs next, fall. Such corn fields are scarce this year, however. and this would not make such a showing but for the fact that it

'Bilbo has thrown a little pep into the campaign that will have effect from Yellow Rabbit to Vinegar Bend. Gov ernor Longino has already been called upon to defend himself on this score, and it has cost him thousands of votes, it is said When he was governor IS or 20 years ago he is said to have-sent a mes sage to the legislature suggesting that the county in which a lynching occurred should pay the family of the man lynched 5000 damages, and that such lynching should be an custer for the sheriff of the county. Of course, no such bill could ever pass Mississippi legislature, but the recommendation was made. and the record is one that will not down. Those candidates opposing Longino have used that message for all it is worth, and now fuel has been added to the flame

ACCOUNTING PosTMAsTERs

Nearly two years ago the postoffice de- partment created what are known as accounting postoffices' in every county in the state--an office through which the smaller postoffices purchased their stamps and supplies and transacted all their business with Washington. This en- tailed great deal of extra work on the postmasters of g. towns in Mississippi but there was no extra compensation One day this week about half the ac- counting postmasters in the state assem- bled at Jackson and organized an asso- citation for their own protection with a view to securing better pay for their services. A strong committee was named and ordered to go to Washington and bring this matter to the attention of Congress and the postoffice department "A full set of officers was elected for the ensuing year, and it is expected that every accounting postmaster in the state will join the association at once.

FARMERS ARE FEELING BLUE

After another week or ten days of al- most continuous showers the farmers of this section are wearing mighty long faces and talk as if they had bad case of the blues" The rains every day have been just about enough to keep the hands out of the fields. especially on the lowlands. and the grass is once more running riot with the little corn and cotton plants. 1t is generally ad- mitted that prospects for a cotton crop are about as poor as were ever known in Mississippi. Potatoes, cane, rice, hay, etc. are flourishing. however, and young corn will yet come to the front, it is beliAyed

 The makers and merchants of home furn- ishings were quick to see and foster the porch idea. First, they designed porch chairs, roomy and restful beyond anything ever known be- fore. Then came porch beds, porch tables and breakfast porch furniture.

BROUGHT A GOOD PRICE

The Jackson Light and Traction com pany plant sold under execution this week for $5OoO, but the purchaser as- stunned all debts and obligations, of which there are $930,00o first mortgage bonds; $216,O00 of second mortgage bonds, about S35, 900 taxes and other debts. It is under stood that the purchaser M. H. Cross man of Milwaukee, was representing the bondholders, and that they will place the property in first-class shape as soon as possible, provided the city grants them liberal franchise. The car sery- ice has been rotten for long time and the gas furnished for cooking purposes is so abominable that it takes almost. half an hour to get enough heat to boil an egg.
