A Man Gets Badly Hurt by Jumping
Off Train too Quick

One day this week middle aged gen.
tleman, resident of Bucksnort, Jackson
county, got on an east bound passenger
train to make business visit to Scots
boro. As this was the second time he
had eyer ridden on a train, he was unac-
customed to the mannerisms, actions and
speech of the trainmen. AS the train
neared Scottsboro, the brakeman opened
the coach door and yelled, "Scottsboro;
all out for this place." the gentleman in
question arose, and with his Saratoga"
in his hand marched out of the coach
and after reaching the platform leaped to
the ground while the train was running
at aspeed of Is miles an hour His Jump
was noticed by several passengers; the
train was stopped and upon reaching the
infrequent traveller it was found that he
had in the leap received a broken leg
and was otherwise considerably disfigur-
ed. He was taken on up to his objective
point more dead than alive and upon re-
covering was asked why he jumped off
His reply was, II didn't think the train
was going to stop and l had to get off at
Scottsboro. for the brakeman followed
'all out"

The jury in the suit of Thomas
Fortune, the editor of the New York
Age, against James Trainor, the pro
prietor OF restaurant at Thirty third
street and Sixth avenue, brought in
a verdict of 1926 in favor of Fortune.
Fortune sued tor $40, 900. He de
clared that he went into Trainors
place and asked for glass Of beer.
The barkeeper refused to sell the
beer to him, and the dispute which
followed resulted in Fortune being
put out and afterword arrested. He
sued for assault.
Judge lruax, in charging the jury,
said that the keeper of barroom
had perfect right to refuse to sell
liquor to any one he pleased. There
was considerable testimony on the
part of the defendant concerning the
question Of whether or not undue
violence was used to put Fortune
out of Trainor's place. When the
verdict was announced the defen-
dant,s counselt moved for new trial
and the motion was denied.

nv has lost its bewitching charm.
We negroes are worried and restless
over the non-active and fruitless
campaigns as conducted heretofore
in Alabama by our party for the
tPast fifteen years. Anhctive, bold,
fearless campaign is what we want
and must have with gloves off. We
wish to deal you old Jefersonian
and new alliance democrats politi-
cal death blow while you are pull
ling one another's hair out by the
roots. What my party needs here
in Alabama is a purpose to contest
every inch of the ground with our
old, ancient and constant enemy
the democracy. We can and will
have help in 1892, through the
movement among ourselves for the
spoils and a change Of leadership.
This transitory movement is the op-
portunity of my party. Will we
avail ourselves of the chance to
strengthen and rekindle the fires of
former ears, and make the party a
power in Alabama to feared is the
all important and absorbing ques-
fGon with us. To do so, We believe,
we must take charge Of the organs
zation and nurse it back to life
again, to be respected by friends
kand foes. This is the ambition of
the intelligent negro IN Alabama
today.
But, Bill, it is asserted by many
colored men and some whites OF
your party that you, yourself, are
an aspirant or candidate for the
craftsmanship of the executive com
| mittee. How about that?
Well, | am not reluctant to the
responsibility, duty and honor Of
the position, and if my friends and
the next state convention should
confer this honor upon me, l shall
do my best to put the party upon {
fighting basis and demand that rec
ognition we are justly entitled to
from all sides.
Upon which the Age-Heralc
comments editorially as follows:
BILL STEVENS TALKS.
Bill Stevens, more or less prom
inent and influential negro Repub
lican politician, was in Birmingham
yesterday and his view of the po
litical situation as given to the Age
Herald reporter, will be found else
where at length. We publish Bill
statesman-like utterances becaus
they furnish the very strongest pos
sible reason why Democratic whit
harmony and solidity should still b.
the watchword. If those Demo
Gratis who say bad things abou
each other could only know how
sweet the sound of it is to the ne
gro leaders, white and black, w,
are sure they would bear and for
bear. Bill is on the warpath ant
wants to take the saddle on tn,
lead horse. He wants a vigorou
campaign, and actually sees hop
for his tribe in the dissension
among democrats, slight as thos
dissensions are. If we should pro
ceed to actual fighting among our
selves, the old negro Republican
monster would be alive again il
less than twenty minutes. Age

Miss Alice NJ. Fletcher, of the United
States Interior Department and the Peabody
Museum, Cambridge, will contribute to The
Century in 1892 the results of her studies of
the American Indian in series of illustra-
ted papers They will give an intimate ac-
count of how the Indian actually lives and
thinks, his music, home life, warfare, hunt
ing customs, etc, and it is the opinion of
Professor Putnam of Harvard that they will
undoubtedly be the most important papers
that have ever been published on the sub
ject, and that they will give an entirely diff
ferent idea of the Indian from that now
commonly prevailing. The series will be
called 'The Indians Side"
