A GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER. KCIXED BT HER MOTHER AND KILLED BT A JEALOUS LOVER. Marianna, Oct. 10. Essie Hlggtns, who was shot in a Macon bagnio Wednesday night, has had a peculiarly sad and eventful life.

She is the victim of a cruel mother's Influence over a daughter. Essie was born In this city.

Townsey Wiggins, the mother of Essie, took the first fatal step. The course down was a rapid one. Her husband, who had been Governor of the State, bore with her as longer longer than most men would; then came tbe separation. For some reason the mother retained possession ot her daughters, of whom Essie is the eldest. They were then very young.

What their life has been since Is due to the mother's influence. Under other circumstances all would have been different. She like all the rest of tbe women of the family was very handsome.

Paris, Oct. 10. The following is an extract from the annual message of Chief L. O. Perryman, read to the Council now in session at Ocmulgee, Tuesday.

It relates to the question of allotment now agitating the people of the Indian Territory and the States on tne border. Ha sava: i have recom mended in former messages the necessity of enacting a town-site law. Some of the towns in our Nation have grown to such size as to become almost unmanagable by the district officers. Every foot of Creek soil Is the property of the Creek people and the Council has the right to regulate the manner in which towns shall be laid out and the lots used. I would respectfully direct your attention to this matter and recommend that some action be taken on the same.

We live in the midst of constant change. A nation is like a plant and has Its spring, summer and winter, its season of growth, maturity and decay. There la not a nation In Christendom which has not in some period of history undergone some, and often very radical changes. Old traditions, customs and Institutions are passing away and are being succeeded by new ideas and Institutions. we nave adopted the white man's form of government ana incorporated his laws in our code.

We are studying and learning useful lessons from his books, and as a closing act of this transformation we are urged to aiiot our ianas ana become one with the white man. Allotment of lands means a change In our present mode ot land tenure. which Is In common. Whether such a change woum increase the prosperity and happiness of our people or not Is the Question to be de termined in advance of any changes, for there can oe no retracing oi steps alter tne change has been made. Under our present system of land tenure It Is Impossible for any of our citizens to be without land enough xnat is necessary to Keep nimseii ana family In inmfirtQha a all 1 i while allotment and individualization ol land possibly and probably would entail on our body politic a lot of landless paupers within a few years after allotment.

In con sidering questions of great importance. It is always advisable to act very deliber ately. Sudden and radical changes in the established forms ot Government are likely to produce disturbance and dissatisfaction. We have been accustomed from time Immemorial to hold our lands in common under this system we nave auvancea rapidly in eaucation ana have become prosperous as farmers and stock raisers. We have, however, overlooked the dangers that are likely to arise from the absence of restrictive legislation.

and every citizen should be al lowed to enjoy fully all the benefits to be derived from the use of the public domain and the natural resources of the soli but only under such re strlctlve legislation as will not allow him to monopolize all of its benefits. With the proper safeguards to be provided by legislation 1 assume it Is possible for a community of people to live In peace and harmony and attain a high degree of material frosperity under a system of land tenure common without Incurring the disadvantage ot monopoly or oppression.
