A Mythical Organization.

IiLlIpprs, March Il 1919.
Mr.. EDIToR-Perhaps u few words
from this vicinity may not be devoid
of interest to vonr readers. As most
of the said readers are administration
men, there is . little thing just come
to our ears that will give them = good
laugh, if nothing more.
An old gray-headed man, formerly
of this county, whether a niggcr-owm-
or or not we are unable to say; but he
lately came from the Pacific coast,
and has been spending part of the
winter in Tennessee, Georgia and the
Cotton States, engaged in plotting
against the whites" Through the
inadvertencc Of some kin folks of his,
who by the way hope to serve their
God, wiz: MammOn), to the moderate
sum of $1,000 o in the enterprise. the
object Of his travelling and expense
has leaked out. Even last "Wednesday
afternoon a meeting Of the conquered
(but not subdued) was held al q house
not more than forty miles from Ben
nett's Lane. The object is to recover
paw from the Government for nova
bic goods and chattles that the pecu-
liar institution had possession of at
the outbreak Of the late 'umpleasant-
ness" This old gray-hcaded sire has
been visiting the cities OF the South
during the winter, and trying TO eff
feet all organization of the former ne
gro-owncrs to take measures for the
recovery Of a sun of money IS com
p~ensation for these citizens of the
United States.
Now, won't they have q good time
getting it? And won't Our taxes be
somewhat increased if we have to
pay the chivalry for those slaves?
For my part, | think much of migrat-
ing TO Canada, "a l could not live in
the South, and all of this money will
have to be raised in the North.
This old gray-hcaded man visited
Andy johnson during his trip. but
we arc not informed whether A. j.
was friendly or not to the enterprise.
Now i'll the name of the good people
of Missouri, let US ask what all OF
this will amount TO! Cannot those
who owned negroes, few or many,
who have been permitted to ENJOY all
iiic TiSiitS al" privileges in't t'ti
did enjoy, save and except the right
TO own mcn and women; and after
doing all i'll their power to destroy
the best Government ever established.
and doing deeds that i'll any other
land under Heaven would have de-
privcd them of every right, and even
life itself, that are permitted to live
and flourish among us, and enjoy
equal rights and privileges, both po-
litical and commercial, that we who
tried to save the Government enjoy:
we say why cannot they be satisfied:
Why will they Try to keep upa strife
that should lave ended years ago:
We believe in the law of kindness
when used in reference to those WHIT

it was the best spent money he ever
put into business. AS a horse was
