NEGRO POSTMASTER /?
j. C. STYLES AN APPLICANT FOR
THE DAWSON OFFICE.
He Is Hard at Work and Has a
NumerOuSly Signed
Petition.

Captain j. NJ. Alexander Will not, as
has been supposed, escape opposition in
his own party for postmaster at Dawson.
There is new applicant, and he is a
negro.
To reporter of THE NEWS J. c. Styles,
principal of the colored public school, has
confirmed the rumor that he is an appli-
cant for the Dawson postofice.
Styles first intended to apply for the
collectorship at the port of Brunswick,
but for some reason has changed his
mind and is now making an active effort
for the postmastership. He has mum
erously signed petition containing the
names of nearly all the local republi-
cans, among them, it said, being the
names of some white republicans.
Styles was an active worker in the re-
publican ranks last year. He went TO
the national convention that nominated
Mckinley as delegate from the second
district, and is sanguine that the incom-
ing administration will reward him with
the Dawson postoffice,
The white citizens of Dawson, howev-
er, have no fears that their mail will be
handled by negro. Styles appointment
is not considered probable, but even
should his application receive NcKin-
ley's favor he would not run the
gauntlet of the senate, which has to con-
firm all presidential appointments.
The first report of Styles candidacy
created mild sensation, but as the nov.
city of it wears off the less is thought OF
it.

and will make a good showing when
the next crop is gathered.
Prof. Jeff McLendon is in charge
of our educational interests and is Civ
ing great satisfaction to the patrons
of the school. He is we'll up in all new
methods and every educational enter
terprise enlists his ardor.
One OF the successful merchants of
Sasser is Mr.. ]. l. Howell. He is of
that family of Howells who have so
long given tone to the social and bust
ness life of Americas and Sumter cOun-
ty.
The old Masonic building at Chicka-
sawhatchee is now used as a residence.
This building was erected long be-
fore the war, and is one of the old
landmarks of this section.
A millinery establishment has been
opened here by Mrs. j. Fl. Williams,
who, by fair dealing and reasonable
prices, hopes to merit liberal patron
age.
One of Sasser's wide-awake citizens
is alderman j. FL. SlappY. He is as
clever as the days are long, and as a
member of the council is always active
in the interest of the town.
There is much complaint about the
condition of the Chickasawhatchee
turnpike. The recent rains have made
it almost impossible There is a great
deal of hauling over this road from
Dawson, Herod and Sasser, and it is a
daily occurrence to see wagons loaded
with guanO stalled in the mire. The
people are clamOring for the turnpike
to be fixed at once.
Traces of the Indians can still be
seen on Mr., Frank Easworthy's farm
near here. In one of his fields is an
excavation where the Indians dug dirt
to make their pottery, and in the same
field freshly plowed ground reveals
stone arrow heads in prOfusiOn. In
the swamp near by is trench leading
up to bluff, where the Indians took
refuge in times of danger. On the
creek tradition locates number of In,
dian settlements, and one place is call
ed "Indian town" by the negroes
of the vicinity. The historian and
the relic hunter can find much tOinter-
est them at this place.
Sasser is fortunate in having at the
head Of its municipal affairs that pop
ular and enterprising gentleman, DR.
! r. L. Dozier. Besides being one of the
cleverest of men and a successful ply.
slcian DIR. Dozier makes an ideal may.
or.
Probably nobody has taken more in
terest in the advancement of Sassel
than Mr.. G. w. Warner. He was the
founder of the town and has been close
ly identified with It's progress. The
existence of Sasser is largely due tC
his enterprise and public spirit.
Among Sasser's successful merchants
is Mr.. J. G. Joiner. Mr.. Joiner has
been identified with the town ever
since it was founded, and no man en-
joys to a greater extent the respect
and confidence of the people.

DaWsOn's Fish War.

Last Saturday one of DaEson's fish
dealers cut the price on fish below their
actual cost, hoping to drive others out
of the business and gain monopoly of
the fish trade. Should he succeed fish

boarding houses and restaurants will
again have to send to wholesale dealers
for their fish and oysters, as they did be-

A Fraud Who Is Victimizing People

Payson Herald: This week man
was in town who gave the name OF
RusselI-James Russell-and he walked
ON crutches and appealed to the citi-
zens for aid, claiming he was injured
in several different ways and anything
given him would be highly appreciated.
In Provo the week previous the man
had a paper bearing the signatures of
MILFORD Woodruff and Joseph Il.
smith. which set forth that he was
member of the church in good stand
ing and worthy of assistance The
document is doubtless a forgery. and
Sheriff Storrs has written to President
Woodruff in regard to the matter.
He had the same paper here. In
answer to a letter. addressed to Presi-
dent Woodruff's Office. asking whether
such a letter Had been given, the
county sheriff received the following
word:
