r,,r r.yxrsy,r.LE POSTMASTER.

In its issue OF Tuesday the Fredericky'
burg Free Lance challenged the state
ment. made by Implication. that the APP
po,ntmen, OF negro postmaster ior
Iunta. I'm Franklin county. was the nrs'
case in virginia in which negro mad
been given postmastership. The free
Lance then went on TO say:
.In the county OF Westmoreland, al
Baynesyllh lives y colored man, W. H.
Johnson Hho Is thrifty. He IL pro
perty owner. and has n good bank ac-
count; he votes the Democratic ticket.
This colored man was appointed post
master ut Baynesvile II we are not
mistaken. through Hon w. A. Jones, our
present Democratic representative IN Con-
gress. about eight years ago, and is still
postmaster Congressman Jones, we pre-
sumo. does not regret the appointment.
either for he said in speech In the
court house here, about four years ago,
that he had appointed Johnson post
master; that ne owned all the buildings
at Baynesville suitable for post-of1ce;
that he was as efficient fourth-ciass
postmaster az there was in Virginia. and,
that. under similar circumstances, he
would appoint him again.
Immediately upon reading the Free
Lonce's article we telegraphsd to Mr..
Jones. calling his attention to 1t. and
asking II he had been correctly repre-
sented, and yesterday we received from
him the following reply:
Warsaw. Va, October 10th.
To tho Editor OF the Dispatch:
] have not seen the statement In the
Free Lance about which you ask. The
circumstances under which the appoint
ment was made were these: The colored
applicant. who owned the only building
at the place in which the office could be
located was endorsed by the white pat
rons of the Office and leading white Dem
ocrats of the county, including the Demo-
cratic county chairman, and it was fully
understood that the office was 10 be con-
Quoted by a one-legged Confederate vet
eran 1t was done and gave universal
satisfaction to the Democrats and 10
everybody else, so far as l know.
W. A. JONES.
Mr.. Jones's explanation ought to be
satisfactory to every Democrat. 1t will
be seen from ii that the two cases under
Baynesville appointment arose out OF a
necessity OF the community and even IN
the meeting Of that necessity the people
were safeguarded against being thrown
in contact with a negro official. The APP
pOintment, the conditions under which it
was made, and the restrictions thrown
around the appointee take the case en-
tirely out Of the category of the Junta
outrage. which was simply in line with
the time-honored Republican policy Of
humiliating the people of the South when
ever possible.

DIPIITiIERIA,

Annex School, No. l6, of Baltimore
has been closed on account OF an out
break Of diphtheria among its pupils.
Five cases of the disease having de-
veloped there, the Board of Health made
an examination Of the throats OF all the
pupils attending the school on Monday.
About 125 cultures were taken, resulting
in finding that seven more OF the chill
dren had positive indications OF dphthe-
ria. The regular attendance at the
school is 400, but only about 125 pupils
were present when the health officers
made the examination.
Baltimore has suffered much on ac-
count of the prevalence there of diphthe-
ria, but the city authorities are deal
ing with II Systematically and sternly.
Great care is being exercised with re-
spect TO the drinking vessels provided
for the use of pupils. That is wise pre-
caution.
All schools, public and private, should
be required to adopt safeguards against
the spreading of diphtheria and other
diseases. Where water buckets are used
and one cup or dipper serves for all.
there is always more or less danger.
Surely, of all places in the world, the
of prevention is worth a pound Of cure.

which. hear what the Town Clerk at

years. about eight years ago / started Ia

an attack for six years"
