There is more trouble over the
color line in Ohio. Six years ago
the legislature repealed The "black
laws" discriminating against The
negroes, aud opened the public
schools to white and black children
alike. No sooner bad this been
done than a serious difficulty oc-
Cured In The town Of Felicity.
When the negro children applied
for admittance TO white school.
they were refused entrance, and
when a negro father accompanied
his children, he was roughly handled
by white men. Finally the blacks
were forced TO accept separate
schools. They took the matter in
to the courts, inslituting proceed
ings against certain white persons
who had obstructed negro parents
when they tried TO take their child
rem inside the building, but two
juries refused to convict The offend.
ers, and the negroes bad to surrend-
or again.
This time the trouble has broken
outin Chillicothe. In order 10 keep
the black children from association
with the whites, the board OF edu-
cation constructed a "shoe-string
district" with the avowed intention
of keeping all the colored children
in one building, no matter how far
they might be forced 10 walk TO
reach il. The negroes held indig-
nation meetings and sent protests
to The board, but without effect.
Now they propose TO appeal to the
law and see IL they can secure re-
dress of their grievances. This ac.
tion has provoked the whites, and
has resulted i'm combined move
ment against the blacks. The Gin.
cInnati Commercial Gazette says
"This movement has gone 80 far
that there is a petition being circu-
lated throughout the county, which
is being signed by almost every
body, asking the legislature to re-
peal the present law, and that sepa-
rate schools be again declared legal.
"There Is a good deal Of talk to
the effect that all the colored people
in the city, and especially those in
the 'shoestring' district, be boycott
ted and refused employment Of all
kinds. IN. Y. Post.

Exploring an indian Mound.

Several weeks ago DR.. Birdsong,
of H Hazlehurst, with the editor of the
Signal and other gentlemen dug into
an Indian mound in Bayou Pierre
swamp, about nine miles from Ha-
zlehurst. The mound was a small
one, having an elevation OF only
four feet above the surrounding
swamp. The extfTme cold and the
Iateness of the hour prevented a
complete exploration, but with the
help Of three stout negroes ditch
was cut through the ancient tuinu.
lus and a number Of relics brought
10 light.
"PortIons of a skeleton" says
the Signal, "were dug out. but By
piecemeal, owing to the fact that
beech tree of many years. growth
stood in the centre of the mound
and at the head of the skeleton.
The skull was brought out in pieces
and was oil remarkable thickness.
Mr. T. p. Wilson found that the
lower Jaw of this skeleton could be
placed over his chin with ease,
showing that the body must have
been extremely large. The teeth
were intact and we're in a remarka-
Bile state of preservation, not speck
of decay showing on one, even the
wisdom teeth being present, and
the being must have been OF ad
