Lee Byrnes. MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL Trueklaj ing on Gibson Contract Will I login Next Week Construction Work Being Hushed. Mr. O. A.

Gibson, who was recently awarded the tracklaying contract on the Mississippi Central Railroad between this city and Roxie, a distance of about twenty-four and a half miles, stated yesterday afternoon that tracklaying would begin -some time next week. Mr. Mike O'Brien of Baton Rouge, who will be actively in charge of the tracklaying work, is in the city making preparations to rush things as soon as they get started. Mr. O'Brien is an experienced railroad man and has formerly been connected with the Iron Mountain.

A tracklaying machine has been ordered and should be received here in about 25 days. A force of about sixty men will be started in on the work and it may be increased if occasion demands. They will begin tracklaying at the Union street trestle. In speaking of the work, Mr. O'Brien stated that the tracklaying between here and Roxie could be completed within fifteen days if the bridges were completed and that "if they could furnish the material and get the bridges out of the way.

the Irish would be there with the track." Mr. O'Brien expects his tracklaying outfit and force today or tomorrow and the locomotive for use on the construction work is expected daily. Construction work at the St. Catherine creek bridge is being rushed with all possible speed in order to let the tracklaying forces across. As it will be impossible to complete the bridge in less than a month, false work will be constructed in order to let the construction outfits across.

The CJibson-Hale force has finished the work of repairing the recent slide in the Bailey cut. It is possible that Mr. Gibson may be awarded another contract for tracklaying on the Mississippi Central as his present contract was awarded with the understanding that he could continue beyond Roxie. XEGIIO STEALS HORSE. On Saturday night last a horse, saddle and bridle belonging to Clarence Wicks was stolen from Franklin street, and little or no clue was left as to the identity of the theif.

On Sunday morning it was learned that a darkey with a horse answering- the description of the one lost was seen near the Brier's plantation. Mr. Robert Gillespie and a number of gentlemen at once started in pursuit and after a long chase ran the darkey down. The horse proved to be the one which was stolen and the darkey is now enjoying a stay in the county jail. The name of the darkey is Dave Richardson, and it is likely that he will be given the limit when his case comes up for trial.

STOLE SHOES; FIXED $10. A negro woman was tried in Justice of the Peace Bahin's court yesterday on a charge of stealing a pair of shoes from another woman of the colored race. She was found guilty and fined ten dollars and thirty days. SHIRTS FOR THE MAN WHO WANTS SUMMER COMFORT. MANY STYLES IN WHITE AND FANCY PATTERNS.

on Jackson, July 22. (Special) In a desperate effort to turn the tide in Madison county against the Hon. John Sharp Williams, there has been circulated throughout that county a report charging that Mr Williams was intoxicated at some when he went to Clinton to address the students of Mississippi College The friends of Mr. Williams know ing the charge to be untrue have had published in the Madison County Herald of July 19th. the following communication which speaks for it self: "Was Not Drunk.

"A report having been circulated that Hon. John Sharp Wrilliams was drunk at the time of his visit to Clin ton, one of our prominent citizens wrote Rev. W. T. Lowrey to ascertain the facts.

We have been requested to publish Dr. Lowrey's letter, which is, as follows: "My Dear Sir: I have your mes sage stating that there is a report current that Hon. John Sharp Wil liams was drunk at Clinton, etc. wish to say that there is no truth in the report. Mr.

Williams has spoken only once at Clinton and that was last fall I was away from home at the time but I am assured by menbers of my facultv that there was no evidence that he was drinking, even moderate ly, to say nothing of excessively, regret exceedingly that such an un- lust report has gone out. for It is untrue. "Very truly, T. LOWREY Still another and more recent cam paign lie to the effect that Mr. Williams was drunk on the occasion of his speech at Hermanville on the 19th is nailed by the truth contained in the following affidavit: "Personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace in and for Claiborne county, Mississippi, J.

D. Mill-saps and Jno. W. Clark. of th town of Hermanville, who are both well known to me and who on oath state that John Sharp Williams went, on his arrival to Hermanville on July 19, 190 7, with them going to the home of J.

D. Millsaps; he refused to take any thing to drink which would intoxicate. He drank only ice water and ate some ice cream while in Millsaps' house. He did not take a drink while in Hermanville. He went to the picnic grounds about 1:30 p.

m. We brand as false any statement that he was under the influence of whiskey "while here, as there was no evidence that he had ever taken a drink of whiskey when he got off the train here. "Witness our signatures this, the 20th day of July, A. 1907. D.

MILLS A Pis', W. CLARK, JR." "Sworn to and subscribed before me this, the 20th day of July, A. 1907. G. HERRIXGTOX, "Justice of the Peace." shot Witli Explosive Bullet.

A negro named Brown who was shot and seriously wounded by a member of his race named Lowe was brought to the Jackson Sanitorium yesterday. The affair occurred near Terry, and the wounded negro is in a bad condition. An explosive bullet struck him on the spinal column, and the doctors found it necessary to remove nearly two inches of the cervical vertebrae. If he recovers from the wound he will never be able to walk again. Brown received two other wounds, one in the rieht shoulder and the other in the left, but neither serious of character.

Blind Man Enters Suit. Solomon Spells, a blind negro who has been a familiar figure on the streets of the city for several years, has filed suit for damages in the sum of $5,000 against the Jackson Electric Light, Power Street Railway Company. As ground of action, the plaintiff alleges that he was knocked down by a passing car, sustained a broken arm and other painful injuries, and that the motorman in charge of the car, by the exercise of ordi nary discernment, could have told that he was blind and unable to realize his immediate danger.
