EYES ON VARDAMAN.
The Mississippi Governor Caves a Ne-
gro from Lynching.
New Orleans, La., Feb. 29.—The
South has it eye on Governor James
K. Vardaman, who a few weeks ago
was inaugurated governor of Mississip-
pi. He was elected on the most rabid
anti-negro platform ever launched in a
Southern state. Thousands and thou-
sands of blacks confidently believed
his ascension to the governor's chair
meant their return to slavery, and
when he was elected hundreds fled the
state. Vardaman’s anti-negro policy
was the talk of the country.
Saturday the first threatened negro
lynching since his inauguration was
sprung away up in Panola county, at
Batesville, on the Mississippi Valley
railroad.
The governor nearly burned up the
wires from Jackson, ordering Sheriff
Johnson of that county to protect t.he
negro, Albert Baldwin, charged with
the murder of Engineer Fogerty, at
Tutwiler. He displayed an aggressive-
ness to save the black’s life never
known in the history of Mississippi
governors. Towards night Vardaman
called out the militia, ordered the
Greenwood and Brookhaven compa-
nies to the scene instanter. Special
trains were hired. Later Gov. Varda-
man summoned his staff, employed a
special train from the Illinois Central,
left for the scene with lightning speed
to assume personal command of the
state militia and save Baldwin from
being burned. It will cost the state a
very large sum.
Sunday night the special train re-
turned to Jackson, the capital, bearing
Gov. Vardaman, the militia and the ne
gro, Baldwin, having been rescued
from the mob. He was safely locked
up in the Jackson jaiy.
Weevil Meeting at Shermn.

meetings have been very successful so
far, said Air. Watson, “and by act-
ual count there has been an attendance

plished this year, as we are receiving

Col. John T. Patrick returned Sat-

he has been inspecting the irrigtion
systems in use in that locality, and
also figuring on the advisability of es-
tablishing a mammoth sanitarium
along the line of the Southern Pacific
