COL. BooNE's LETTER.

EVANSVILLE, o., July 27, 1898.
MIR. J. L, TRIBBLE, Anderson, S. G.
NV dear Mr.. Tribble: Upon your pledge
that the people of Anderson would work
as one in the Black Diamond cause, l
changed my plans to take the main line
via Anderson to the South Atlantic IN
stead of ria Augusta, Ga, down the west
bank of the Savannah.
The people of Anderson mast back you
I'D in the effort you are making, and
should not tie string to their back.
Let Anderson work to get the road.
South of Anderson the road will take
care of itself at the proper time. Ander-
son should raise at.least $500 to be used
in aiding the cause. Anderson's council
should take off the embago on the S20O,
and let it go no,c, or else you may depend
upon it that no expert will visit Ander-
son, S. c., until tits done.
Anderson must act at once If she ex-
poets the expert to go as far south as
Anderson. My idea is to get the road
built from Anderson, S. c., to Greenfleld'
Indiana, some COB miles and then Gym
thana. Ky., to Columbus, O., 165 miles,
and Vevoy, Indiana, to Vincennes, Ind,
IT'S miles, and so on until ali the main
arteries are built.
Your people at Anderson want to senG
YOUR cotton goods to the north west, and
ret coal. bacon, meal, flour etc. in ex-
change. You can get along without a
seaport connection for while, anyway.
If Anderson don't want to keep faith,
T will aqree to release her from her
pledges, and 60 back to my first idea'
down the west bank of the Savannah, ria
Augusta to Savannah, Ca, and / now
expect something done, one way or the
other.
will send this letter to you through
myl partner and associate, Mr.. Kirkby
for him to add his idea and views.
Try then again, perhaps your people
will yet wake up before it is too late:
enclose action of the Directory of Ohio,
given at Ripley, O. The whole north is
alive and awake to the Black Diamond
movement, and nothing can now stop its
completion. We want for your sake, the
Mayor of Anderson, and your people, foi
the Black Diamond to so ria Anderson.
1t now rests with your people to act and
YOU must act inside of the next 30 days
Truly, etc.
ALBERT E. BOONE.

suppressing the Illiterate Vote.


The supreme court of the United
States has sustained the validity of
the Mississippi election law. This
law was enacted for the purpose Of
'suppressing by legal methods the
illiterate negro vote of the State, and
imposes among other qualifications a
rigid educational restriction. The re-
suit has been to disqualify the major
ity Of the negro voters of the State
and to assure white supremacy =, in
State and local administrations. The
rs supreme me- court Of the United States At
holds that as the election law applies
to illitcrate whites as well as to the
ignorant colorcd votes. the restrictions
imposed IL nuU sec by by the statutes are within
the field of permissible action under
the limitations imposed by the federal
constitution.

CONCERNING THE BLACK DIAMOND.
Mr.. j. l.. Tribble Says Something Has
to be Done, or We Will be Left out
OF the Deal.-Col. Boone Gives Us
30 Days; Something Has to be Done
or the Black Diamond Will not Come
Through Anderson.

Through Anderson.
The following letter from Col. Boone
in reference to our relations with the
Black Diamond ought to stir our people
up.
We have arrived .at the forks of the
road, and the question now is what are
we going to do about it? The amount
we are called upon to raise, at this time
is 81 $4,000, and have found few gen.
tlemen with enough enterprise to risk
some money in it, but with the subscrip-
ton from the City Council, and private
subscriptions, l still lack S1,020.00. I
beg to remind our people that we passed
resolutions last November, pledging our
support to this enterprise, and Mr.. Kirk
by,i president Of the system, and Col.
Boone were led to believe that we meant
what we said. certainly thought So
The expenses of the expert have to be
met, and our people can rest assured that
if we sit still, expecting the promoters to
pay these expenses, and give US road,
we will wake up when the road has been
permanently located somewhere else.
Now fellow citizens, do not propose
to bother Iyou again with this matter.
This is my last appeal to you to help
yourselves. 1 am willing to risk my part
of this money, trusting to the future for
results. If the road ultimately fails.
then we will have lost, if it should prove
a success, then we have gained a foot
hold for all time in the commercial
world. There is no absolute certainty
about anything except taxes and death.
Col. Boone mas shown disposition to
help us and has stood by erery promise
he has made to me, SO far, but if our
people now propose to do nothing, then
he is absolved from all further promises
made to us in this matter.
I beg our people to remember this one
thing. 1t has been long time since any
one offered to run through line of rail-
road by your door, and if you let this
opportunity pass, it will be a longer time
still, before anyone else offers to do SO,
and if you ever get through line after
this opportunity is thrown away, you
will put up more money than is required
to do the preliminaiy..@ork in this road
and more than S15.0OU,00 in bonds con-
ditionally.
will wait a few days to see if our
people will raise this $1,000, 90; upon your
action the future of Anderson rests. 1t
seems to me this question should come
right home to our young business men,
who will surely reap the benefits of this
road, when built

A Statement From Romulus.

To THE PUBLIC OF Ell PASO:-Since
my failure to succe ssfully battle with
the bull in the arena in Juarez, Sun
day aftern on, l understand it has been
charged that the performance was q
flake. This most mphatically de-
ny, and, in order to vindicate myself
10 the Judgment of those in attendance,
and demonstrate that my intentions
we're honorable, I will give on this
side free exhibition that every ole
no desires can witness. My failui e
to m q. ter and throw the bull was not
due to my inability to throw bulls but
that the horns of the animal were SO
short and thick that I could not pos
ri bile encircle them with my hands. 1
was not aware of this fact until il was
too late to secure another bull, and
then it was impossible to postpone the
F. ninete en- days / had
t. rown every bull of all sizes and ages
brought before me at Samalayuca, and
mp to the time of entering and engage
ing in the struggle 1 was perfectly con-
6dent of my ability to do just as adj
vertised. Now, l propose TO demon i.
str ate free to all those in attendance
md any others who may,H ish TO witness
the effort that can and will meet,
wrestle and throw a bull. The time
and date of which per Torrance will be
later.
Very respectfully yours,
ROMULUS.
