After a few weeks silence we
gather up few items concerning
the doings of our village and vicin.

Sand Run paid us flying visit
Saturday.
John II. Nutter and n. w. Starr
attended the Inauguration Monday
Levi limerick moved into his
new house II few weeks ago.
Thomas Hood moved to Shaw
nee few days ago.
Born-Dec. 80, 1889 to Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Linton, Il son.
Have we ~ truant officer? If so
where is he? We see several idle
boys lurking around everyday.
There is considerable gossip on
the corners these days concerning
the recent discovery of fire clay on
some of the farms near here. We
hope the discovery may prove to
be profitable one.
Mr.. l.. A. Sell of Lonastreth had
charge of the G. & II. c. & 1. Co.'S.
books ut this place while they were
shipping fire clay from here last
month.
Mrs. Peter Nutter of Poneto, Ind
is visiting at this place.
Born-Jan. s, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Terrell, son.
Mr.. Thomas Tucker, wife and
sister Ollie of Warren Co. spent
the holidays among their relatives
Of this place and vicinity.
Mr.. Levi McCarley and family
after spending several days among
relatives at Ewington returned
home New Years day.
Some of our citizens say they
have peach trees and various kinds
of flowers out in bloom at the
present time, which heads the
time of our oldest citizens.
Business here is very dull since
the c. & III. c. & Leo. stopped ship
ping fire clay. But we understand
they intend to open up perma-
nent business Of shipping fire clay
from here to Columbus about first
of next month. 1t is also rumored
that they intend to build tile fac
tory here in the near future.
Mr.. Peter Hopple one of our citi-
Zens, very much alarmed some of
his neighbors Monday night of last
week by his peculiar actions. He
at the hour of midnight without
either coat or hat, and despite the
rain which was coming down at
the rate of forty miles in hour
mounted one of his neighbors
mules and instantly made himself
scarce. 1t was then generally sup
posed by onr citizens that he would
never return. But at early dawn
next morning we were happily sur
prised to see MIR. Hopple returning
home with broad smile on his
lace. He was then able to tell us
the occasion of the whole affair
which was the arrival of a son at
mis- house, and that he had just
been to Union Furnace (ten miles
west of here) to notify his mother
in-law that it was Il boy and that
1t resembles its father very much.

4 New solution or the Convict Question.

A number of our friends viii recall
that in solution of the difficulty of Q
proper and humane system of negro
convict management, the editor of the
TIMES has suggested their transporta-
tion to Africa. This idea has never
met with sufficient encouragement to
lead us to present It more than casu-
ally through the columns of the TIMES
We are reminded of 1T at this time by
the following:
"Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 29.--Bishop HI
M. Turner, who is at home here fol-
the present, announces that he and
others are so much in earnest about
the African emigration movement thai
if Congress will appropriate national
aid and turn over to him all the color
ed convicts of the country he will take
them to Africa and found o great ne.
gro republic. The bishop says q
would have better material to com
mence with than the Roman Empir,

call an African emigation convention

A letter from Hays landing to Mr..
J. Hays, dated Feb. I'd, gives the fol-
lowing information in regard to the
water:
"The water Is rising six inches in
twenty-four hours, and now threatens
to run over the uncompleted part of
the new levee. Lucas store and the
Halls landing plantations that are un-
der water are outside of the main
levec. The water now lacks about one
loot OF reaching tho top of the uniin-
lshed part of the new made levce. Mr..
Sullivan, who is building the levee has,
moved his outfit behind the levee and
is now hard at work with large force
of men and teams.
"iichardson & May, who own the
Halls landing property, through which
the levce, runs, have agreed that the
contractor should take the earth from
behind the levee aud no further trouble
Is anticipated in that respect. ONLY

PheIan on the Problem.

Hon. James Phelan. member of Con-
grcss from the Memphis (Tenn) dis
trict. says: al do not regard the re-
moval of the negroes from the South
as even a remotely possible solution of
the social and political problem with
which we have to deal. Even admit
ting his political disfranchisement, it
would be impossible | have always
regarded the discussion of these mir
aculous methods as not only trihing
with grave question, but as In q
measure insidious. 1t Injuries us by
bclittling the serious problem with
which we have to deal. II causes us
to initiate the example Of the young
soldier who was dreaming that be
was going to overwhelm his enemies
by his sacrifice to Jove, while they
were surrounding his camp. Iregard
as an essential element of the so-called
negro question the most explicit re-
cognition of these facts, that the negro
will live, propagate and increase in
our section Of the country, and as a
citizen. As to whether he will always
retain the franchise | think debatable.
As to whether he ought to retain It or
not depends upon the standpoint from
which 1t is viewed. From the stand
point OF intelligence and appreciation
Of the responsibilities Of citizenship,
think every observaut Southerner will
say that he is not worthy as a race, or
If you prefer the distinction, as class,
to have the franchise. But to deprive
him Of the right tovote is only tenn.
porary relief. In fact, II Is only par.
tial relief. The real gravity Of the
question, in my eyes, lies in another
field. This is the race question. II Is
true the exercise of the right to vote
brings homo to us, In its most often
sive form, the fundamental race differ
ence. But the two great questions
are, how are we to bring about a statul
which will remoyc the friction of co.
existence during the present period o.
the negro's brutal ignorance ? aud how
are we to raise the negro to the leve
of intelligent and moral citizenship
without increasing the race friction !?

and weary way as that over which
their tracks have marked the past 80
years. But there is ne room for de-
spair. The threatened fate MUST BE
AvEKrED, at all and any sacrifice aud
toll. The men who have grown gray
in upholding home rule and white su-
premacy IN Mississippi, with the
youth of the land must nerve them
selves for renewed, even greater, ef-
fort.
We are not left to Democratic rhet-
oric TO construe the extent and men,
ace of this new Legislative rule. Here
Is what Mr.. Blaine said from the
Speakers Char 20 years ago when
such plan was barely suggested:
THE Speaker-There can be no re
cord like the call of the yeas and nays;
and from that there is no appeal The
moment you cloihe your Speaker with
power to go behind your roll-call and
assume that there is a quorum In the
hall, why, gentlemen, you stand on the
very brink Of volcano.
On the other hand no one can fore
see the evils that may result from the
Inauguration of the practice Of count
ing votes not cast in order to make
quorum. Under 1t q minority Of the
mcmbers-elect 10 the House and Sen
ate may pass the most tyrannical law
for the oppression Of the people, thu
most corrupt laws for the spoliatiol
of the Treasury. Whether so intend
ed or not, its direct tendency is tc
break down the barriers heretofore
existing for the protection Of the citi
izen against the encroachments Of pow
er, and the spclistion of the tire asur!
by destroying the limitations whicl
the Constitution has wisely imposed
upon the Legislative department. Con
stitutions are made to restrain majorl
ties and protect majorities. A major
ity ruling without limitations or re
straints upon lis power is pure des
potism and is inconsistent with ou
system Of Government"

The lecture combination of Bill Nye
and James Whitcomb Riley has been
ended, and the humorist and poet will
appear together no more on the stage.
Their last appearance was in Louis
vile Thursday night, and the follow
ing excorp from dispatch from that
city tells the story of the separation
Nye and Riley's last entertainment
was on Thursday night in this city.
II was then noticed that Riley was
"of." Instead of appearing in the
conventional dress suit, as usual, he
wore slouchy travelling suit. An ex-
PLANTATION of this incongruity was Of
fered by Mr.. Nye, who said Mr.: Riley
baggage had failed to arrive. The
real reason, 1t is said, was that Riley
was unable to change his clothes.
Mr.. Nye was asked about the disso-
luton, and confirmed 1t, speaking
rather bitterly. "Yes, Riley and ]
have parted for good, he said. ale is

Poll Tax Declared Constitutional.

In the Court of Errors and Appeals,
at Denver, Jan. "a, the opinion In the
case of John M. Freiszleben VS.. Serech
+. Shallcross and others were handed
down. This is the celebrated suit in
volving the constitutionallty of the
poll-tax collection law of 1873. The
suit was instituted by Senator Higgins
in the Superior Court and argued last
June, Senator Gray being one of the
counsel for respondent. BY agree
ment, after argument, the issues raised
were referred to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, to be passed upon by O
full bench in the States highest tribu-
nal. The nominal appellant, Foieszle-
ben, possessing the the other qualiflca-
tions of a voter, had beed placed on
the delinquent list for non-payment Of
his poll tax of 1885, and thereby rem
dered ineligible to qualify as voter
until 1887. His claim set forth in
effect that he had been disfranchised
for 1886 contrary to the provisions oi
the State constitution.
The Court denies this and affirms
the constitutionality Of the law Of all
enactment clearly within the constitu-
tional power of the Legislature as an
appropriate and Legitimate exercise ol
the taxing power; that the electoral
franchise is not an indefeasihle righI
of citizenship, but privilege condi
toned upon the payment of tax
that this condition goes back in Della
ware law to colonial days; that the
intent of the law is not to compel pay
ment by DISTINGUISHING the delinquen
taxable, but to class him among ths
unproductive poll taxables whose as
sessmont will produce deficiency 0
revenue, that if the tax laws be un
wise, defective Of incfFlcicdt, the resor
for their aunulment must not be to tn
courts, but to the Legislature.

The AIl-Americas library, heretofore out

The Au-Americas library, heretofore out
lined fully in THE STAR and pronounced by il
an enterprise worthy of all encouragement, is
deserving Of further notice at the hands of the
press. If the undertaking is to be put upon
its legs at the time mentioned by the interna-
tional conference, it is well to start the prep
arations now. The collection of a vast library
and the innumerable curios that form a part Of
the original plan will require many years and
much skill and patience as we'll as the expendi-
ture on the part of the various nations con-
cerned Of considerable money. The official
notice has been forwarded to Congress by the
State Department and it remains for Congress
to appropriate a sum sufficient to erect a build
ing for this and the other purpose projected,
namely. an international bureau of informa-
ton. This sum is $3.50. 900. The time fixed by
the conference is October. 1892. the four hun
dredth anniversary OF the discovery of America.
The time named is the most suitable that could
have been agreed upon. the sum recommended
the smallest that would answer the purpose.
This 10 not simply a sentimental proposition.
II 10 were il would have high merit. But il is
much more than that. The historical and
artistic purposes to be served by the erection
OF the library are sufficient TO justify the ex-
pendituro Of a much larger fund than will
have TO be expended in order to make it a sue
cess. We are citizens Of the leading republic
not only Of the hemisphere but also of the
world and of history. This is one OF the means
of giving the nation the full advantages of its
commanding position. Let us not be laggards
in a~vailing ourselves OF il.

Has 1t ever occurred to the street ear COM
panies Of the national capital that three times
as much work can be done in twenty-four
hours as in eight hours? That in other cities
repairs to street railways are considered a nee
essary evil to those not directly interested.
which is to be concluded as soon as possible?
That other vehicles have rights of way as well
as street cars! That energy and enterprise do
not quit work at nightfall! That it does not
cost any more to work three shifts of men one
day than it does to work one shift three days?
That calcium lights at night give plenty Of
hight to work by? That it is much cooler to
work by night than by day? And finally that
there Is a growing desire on the part of the cit
liens at large to have the tracks in order and
the streets cleaned up sometime before the
Columbian celebration OF 1892? This is not a
census list, but answers are respectfully re-
QueSted.
