The Negro i'm the North.

The ever present negro question
IS disturbing the peaceful political
situation in New York, where p0pu-
lar sentiment against the eqality OF
the races seems to be quite as
strong as in any part Of the South.
In New York, particularly in Long
Island, the whites insist upon separ-
ate public schools for the children
aud tue closure of the white schools
to negroes. This rule has been
very unpopular among the negroes
ss being in line with the "Jim Crow
car law in operation in most OF the
Southen States, and they have Wig
orously opposed it and any separa-
ton OF the races, and have insisted
that their children SHALL enter the
same schools rs the white boys ano
girls.
After long skirmishing the mat
ter has finally reached the courts.
One Cisco, q colored man. refused
to send his children to the negro
school. They were arrested again
and again under the school law OF
New York, which makes attendance
At the public or private schools OBJ
l;gatory on all children. On this
point issue has been joined. The
colored people Of the DeighboEhood
in mass meeting resolved to make
fight to get admittance to the white
schools and raised q large fund to
test the constitutionality OF the
law which shut them out OF these
schools.
The lower courts decided against
Cisco, and said that il the negroes
were given the same facilities for edu'
cation as the whites, il they were
provided with schools equally IS
good, they had no cause OF COM
plaintiff was, in fine, recognition
Of race prejudice, and the white
people who supported the schools,
had right to have separate accomo-
dation for their children ii they
we're willing to support double sys-
tenn Of schools. However the de-
cision OF the court may be, the
episode shows very clearly that race
sentiment in the North, and in .
district Republican by = large ma
iority, is the same as the South.
It is not question Of climate or
politics. Times-Democrat.

Rev. T. J. Upton, of the Lousi
ana Conference, has brought suit
against the Times Democrat for
libel, fixing the damage sustained
at $4,000. 1t seems that q special
from Baton Rouge to the New Or
leans paper, BY some sort of blum
der In the telegraph Office At one
end of the line, had stated that
"Rev. Upton is . negro" The
author of the special wrote "Rev.
Upton is a cultured gentleman"
the operator read it this way:
"Rev. Upton is a colored gentle
man." The I'D. printed "Rev.
Upton Is a negro" As soon as
the paper discovered its mistake it
made the correction and an ample
apology. But that did not satisfy
the iarte preacher. Hence the suit.
Considering the fact that there
was no malice or evil intent in the
publication, the suit will amount
to nothing.

Delightful Dinner.
By the Abita Spring Water Com
p2nY.

A most enjoyable dinner was
given yesterday at Mrs. .. Au-
bert's Hotel, Abita Springs, the
scene Of the Abita boiling works,
where the splendid water which
Is now used so extensively in this
CITY and throughout the South, in
fact. The hosts were the repre-
sentatives of the Ablta Spring
Water Company, limited, Messrs.
Gordon s. Orme, president Of the
company, and H. J. Ledoux,
manager, and among the guests
were Messrs. H. l.. Favrot, n. &.
Pearsall, vice-president of the
East Louisiana Railroad Company,
and representatives Of the press.
Before the party sat down to the
splendid dinner, the guests were
shown over the plant. The many
patrons of the company, the con-
sumers of the water, have frequent
ly expressed the desire that the
water should reach them through a
process which would preclude the
possibility Of Its losing any of its
splendid health-giving properties,
and the company has finally met
the demand after going to con-
siderable expenses in the way of
putting the new and costly appara.
tus which makes 1t possible to con-
vey the water from the spring d.
rectly into the bottles and other
vessels in which it is shipped, free
from sediment, and without hav-
ing been exposed to the air tor
even an instant, thus making it ut.
terly impossible for any Of the
properties to deminish.
Abita Spring water has world
wide reputation. The spring con-
sists Of seven veins, which come
to the surface in a space of ! feet.
and empty into . large circular
basin, which is built of cement, and
is ls feet in depth. The top Of
the basin and sides are encased in
glass, 60 as to exclude dust and
air. The company have tapped
the spring with 2-inch block-tin
pipe that runs down and curves to
the center of the spring, drawing
the water three feet from the boz
tom. Thus it can draw no sediment.
The water is then conveyed
through a porcelain-llned pipe and
falls into a polished marble tank,
ls feet long, four feet high and
four feet wide. 1t is then drawn
of in bottles by nickel faucets,
block-tin lined so that the water
reaches the bottle without even ex-
posture to the air.
The company is now putting the
water on the market In this shape,
and though the supply as vet is
limited, in very short time, after
the expensive additions to the
plant are completed it will be fully
able to meet all demands, In sd-
dition, the company is establish
ing a carbonating plant, the pur-
pose being to carbonize the Abita
Spring water. It is the intention
to supply this al over the country.
The company intend TO promote
the general welfare of Abita
Springs, and are interested in big
hotel project and other plans for
development. The hotel of Mrs.
Aubert gives promise of becoming
At IN early day . thoroughly up
to-date and most attractive one, -

Shot by the Gill Boys.
.cial to the Times Democrat.

Special to the Times Democrat.
Tangipahoa, La, Oct. An
other terrible tragedy took place
here to-day, when A. r. Draughon,
one of Tangipahoa's most tromi-
nent citizene, was shot by the two
Gill boys, Gage and Alonzo. Mr..
Draughon had walked down to the
depot to take the local freight,
which is due at this place about l
o'clock. Gage and Alonzo came
up, and as they had passed him Of.
ten before, he did not pay any at
tention to them. The first thing
he knew they had their pistols
drawn on him and forced him to
walk over to Sanders store, ct the
same time curslng him for every
thing they could think of. They
then searched him and not finding
his pistol, which buckled in front
of him under his trousers, they
slapped his face. As they had
him At their merry, he parleYed
with them, thinking that posi-
bly, some of his friends would
come to his assistance, though the
principal ones were out of town.
After going to Sanders store, see-
ing that they intended to murder
him. he pulled his pistol and
would have killed Alonzo Gill
had the latter not knocked his arm
up. Gage Gill opened FIRE, hitting
Mr.. Draughon in the arm. He
dropped his pistol as his arm was
shot through and ran out of the
store, the Gill boys continuing firing
him, three shots taking effect.
When he reached the railroad
Alonzo had gained their buggy and
got q Winchester rife and leveled
it at him, Mr.. Draughon being
about fifty yards off. Jim Gill,
who is . brother of the Gill boys,
grabbed the rifle and prevented
Alonzo from using It. Jim Gill
is . quiet and peaceable citizen.
Mr.. Draughon 10 badly wounded
but 1t In not thought his wounds
will prove fatal, the physicians
have extracted two bullets and he
is resting easy.
Mr.. Draughon's friends are ar.
irving all the time and it is the gen.
eral opinion that the ellis will be
hunted down.
Avery r. Draughon has always
taken q prominent stand for
the right in upholding justice md
led the posse that hunted the Gill
boys down for running MIR. Pres.
ton of from Kentwood and shoot
ing Mr.. Magee IN the Banner
Lumber Company troubles. Mr..
Draugon is also a prominent candi-
date for Sheriff of this parish,
which may have had something to
do with the shooting.
Alex Gill and Monroe Bambert |
came up from New Orleans to-
night. They did not know any
thing of the trouble until the train
reached Pontchatoula.
Draughan died in New Orleans
Monday night.
