Frank Reynolds, of the Dalton
Citizen, gives the northern critics a
sockdolager. He relates Il story of
the effect that Bob Toombs, when on
visit to Boston, just after tho war,
was asked by gentleman Of that
city if it was true that we "plowed
negroes in the SOUTH"
Toombs asked his questioner in
return what was the value of a ne
gro.
"Oue thousand dollurs," replied
the Bostonian.
"FIow many negroes would it take
to pull plow?
"Ahout four"
"rh"n,' exclaimed Mr. Tocmbs,
''do you think we are d-n fools
enough to employ $1,000 worth of
negroes to plow, when 5000 mule
would do?"
Editor Reynolds continues:
"Does Bostonan intelligence grasp
the idea that it wonld ie foolish for
southern farmers and people goner,
ally to lynch the hest common labor
it possesses ?"
"Would we deliberately exile our
dining 'room, kitchen and nursery
help, to import impndrnt white help
from the scnms of creation?
cit was but this week The Citizon
editor saw Il negro brick mason and
negro carpon:er at work on the
residence now being built by Capt.
l.. Nj. Felk"r "n Thornton avenue.
These ne rors have tho confidence
and friendship of every member of
the community, and any effort to
prevent their pursuing their avoca-
tlons peacefully would meet with
armed force, but shonld negro at
tempt any Sam Hose cap"rs in this
town he wonia be lynchod inconti
nontly. The memories Of Bunkcr's
Hill nor Gettysburg would help him
any, nor the structures of the parti

as required by tho constitution.
AT 10 O'Clock Senator Scarbor-
ough went to the State capitol and
proceeded to take the oath of office
before Col. u. r. Brooks, clerk of
the State supreme court. Having
done SO ho signed it in duplicate,
one copy beng left in the Office of
the Secretary of State.
Upon taking the oath Mr.. Scar.
borough vacated the Office of senator
Of H"rry County; the duty therefore
devolves upon him Of issuing a writ
OF election for the election of his
successor as senator. He also has
to issue a writ for a election in
Lexington County to fill tho vacancy
occasionod by the election Of Senator
Griffith as Superintendent Of the
State penitentary.
1t is II noteworthy fact that Gov
ernor McSwecney and Lieutenant
Governor Scarborough are the only
two mon who have filed these Off
ces to sign the oath after taking it,
thus fulfilling the constitutional pro.
vision 'anl subscribe" thereto. AT
least no record appears Of any pre-

Mr Martin began life under adverse

The fact that Gov. Lind has signed the
special law relating to the office of county
assessor OF Ramsey county Monday even
Ing set all of the political tongues wag-
ging yesterday, and the. small army Of
city hall statesmen were especially active
IN behalf of their respective candidates,
who think they are fitted to fill the chair
now held down by Assessor Seng.
The new act provides that hereafter,
commencing at the next municipal cleo
ton, the assessor shall be elected by pop
ular vote, and that. in the meantime, the
successor to the present incumbent of
the office shall be elected by the board of
county commissioners The act deprives
County Auditor Johnson of the sweet re-
venge that he had In store for Mayor
K1efer and some other political opponents
as, under the law, he Is entitled to no
voice in the matter.
regular meeting of the county board
will be held next Monday, at which time
1t Is expected that successor to MIR
Seng will be elected, and in the meantime
some great scheming may be looked for
on the part of the several candidates and
their friends.
Among those who would be pleased to
accept the job at the reduced salary of
$500 per year Is August Fitzer
The next aspirant, and the most promi-
nent, Is c. p. Smith, the chairman of the
Republican county committee, but the
friends Of Filter, claim that If another
Eighth ward man Is given office 1t will
jeopardize both the political future Of
County Auditor Johnson and Judge Ba-
zille.
Other candidates who, are making an ac-
tive canvass are: Robert Seng, the pres
ent incumbent; Philip Justus, former
member of the board of public works, and
ex-County Commissioner Moritz.
1t Is generally conceded that. no matter
who gets the Office. the eleSsion will be
contested by Mr.. Seng on the grounds
that the law is unconstitutional. and a
determined effort will be made to have It
so declared by the supreme court.

the engineer, who protested that he "had
his orders" and would not step over the
