OUR LETTER BOX.

To the State Herald:
1 note that the city committee has
agreed upon a plan and invites all white
men into the party to make choice of a
candidate for mayor. Now that the ball
will-open up in a few days in dead earn
est, a great many people would like to
know if our present mayor is going to
submit his claims for Endorsement to the
white people of the city. He has inau-
gurated many reforms, some of which
are yet incomplete, and he will likely want
to remain in office until they are COM
pleted, with the probable exception of
the canal scheme, which will likely have
to go over to future administrations.
There are a great many voters l find who
would be glad to have Mayor VanHoose
enter the contest in the primaries, and
many others want to know whether or
not he is willing to submit. his case to a
white primary. 1 think that in justice to
the people of the city Mayor VanHoose
should speak out.

1t being reported on the streets that our
distinguished ex-governor, Thomas G..
Jones, as having said that he CThomas

had his vote counted as cast If he had to
lead a mob through blood to do so. Now,
having been a supporter of our ex-gov-
ernor in the ranks of the party and
knowing him personally, 1 cannot easily
believe a man standing as he has done
could think of such a thing, therefore,
will be more than obliged to our ex-gov-
ernor if he will answer through the
morning or evening papers, saying If he
ever said anything that could be report
ed in that light 1t is bad enough to bear
the name of bolter, but worse, yes, far
worse, to have that reported of such a

1t is significant that the "black belt' of

The Alabama legislature will have fall

without the enactment of laws to put an
end to the commissary system, but in or

If the above had appeared In the state
Herald three months ago we do not know
if we would not have wiped our glasses
and read it again to see If our himsy orps

laation and admonition as the ABOVE
paragraph contains would not have been
just as appropriate then as now, but SIM
ply because at that time we were not
charitable enough to concede, or even 10
believe, that any good could emanate
from that paper. This is but an example
to prove that, in the days of animated
politics, we are all too prone to impugn
the motives Of one another. We now
make the amende honorable and congrat-
ulate the State Herald upon the fearless
stand 1t has taken In defense Of the

ton of the commissary octopus in this
