A clergyman who had been great
ly annoyed by the continued inter
ruption to which he had been sub
Jectod during the delivery of his ser
mon stopped abruptly and looking
round at the congregation, spoke as
follows:
Some time ago, while delivering
sermon, [ was frequently inter-
rupted by gentleman sitting in
front of me, who gesticulated, moved
about and whispered to his neigh
bors, and at last T addressed to him
sharp reprimand for his unseemly
conduct. When the service was
over my clerk in The vestry men,
toned the matter to me, and asked if
L was ignorant of the fact that the
person addressed was on idiot I
have since then always hesitated to
reprimand any of my congregation
for fear that l may DO addressing an
idiot, who is not responsible for his
actions" 49,. .s.
Silence reigned throughout the do

advised me to appear before the
board and make my statement, and
said he did not see how the board

And yet he voted to make my sus-

voted to make my suspension perma,

There is another lie told by Mr.
Miles. He promised that 1 should
be accorded full hearing by the
BOARD before vote was taken on tho
motion to make my suspension per
manent' But the vote was taker
without hearing being given me
though l was on hand waiting for it.
When | taxed Mr.. Miles with his
Perhdy ne at first tried to deny hay
ing made such promise. After
forced him to admit it l.o said: eyes
but forgot it," Then he returned
to the board room and said to the
board, mir. QUITS wanted hearing,
but did not know it was my place to
get 1t for him."
While on the question of Mr..
Mlles's veracity I might state that
ne ls liar by his own confession. 7
have heard him say on several occa-
slons: ~ have told more lies since T
have been on the board than in all
my life before" l dare him to deny
that he made this statement; if he
does l will prove it on him.
In my case Mr. Miles is p.eat
stickler for strict obedience to the
rules Of the board, but he Is more
lax in other cases. I have shown
that it is very doubtful if there was
such a rule as was claimed violated,
but there are other rules of the board
as to which there is no doubt and
violations of which have been ro-
ported to Mr.. Miles, chairman, with
out any action being taken by him.
The board passed rule forbid
ding employees of the dispensary to
drink on the promises. Printed
copies of that rule were posted all
over the building. Shipping Clerk
Black had been reported to Chair
man Miles time and again for drink
ing and being drunk and cursinp in
the diepensary, against the positive
rule of the board, but he has not
even demonstrated with Black, much
less suspend him. Yet he suspends
me without an investigation of the
charge against me.

Eoard Mr.. Miles was able to give or
get the job Of receiving clerk for his

Speaking of retail sales at the dis.
pensary, less than three months ago
Chairman Miles bought of himself
and sold to himself at the State dis
pensary n half pint of alcohol, which
he paid for at the price to dispensers
and not to consumers thus cheating
the town ond county out of their
profits. Why doesn't he suspend
himself?
In Haselden's and Robinson's ro-
port OF tho investigation made by
Bookkeeper Mobley and Inspector
Moody there are no charges against
me, and he produced no proof
against mo of any wrong doing in
his affidavit, and yet, when Mr.. FIaz
elden's report was read and after MIR.
Douthlt's removal, he, Hazeldon,
moved to make my suspension por
manent, without hearing me as he
had promised to do the night before
he made the report. He voluntarily
told me in the Columbia Hotel that
ne had finished his report, and that
he had not touched me in it, nor had
ne any evidence of my wrong doing,
and when my case came up he would
promise to hear noe and then decide
how he would vote The next morn
ing he moved to make my suspension
permanent without hearing ny ex-

ed for dinner, after voting to remove
Mr.. Douthit, I taxed Haselden about
his conduct N going back on his
promise about hearing me, and
made him admit in MIR. Boykin's
presence that he said he told me he
had no charges against mo and no
evidence of wrong doing, and when
L asked him to explain his action in
making q motion to permanetly sus
pend me he said: "I just done that
to bring the matter up. I don't

iaselden and Robinson, the investi-
eating committee, were in Columbia
they left the work of conducting the
investigation as to the contraband,
which committee was appointed to
DO, to Bookkeeper Mobley and In
Spector Moody, and spent their time
caucusing with Chairman Miles and
the conspirators. A caucus was held
in the office of State officer, and it
was decided to suspend me without
giving me any notice or asking me
for any explanation of the charges
against mo. This determination was
talked around Columbia nearly an
hour before WAS notified of my sus-
pension. a friend of mine hoard il
at the upper end of Main street and
walked down town to telephone,
and told me that the gang had fixed
to make it hot for mo and to do mo.
The day after my temporary sus-
pension Chairman Miles gave the
newspapers an interview which con-
tanned lie and slanderous insinn-
alton, whose absolute falsity he could
have easily informed himself of. He
said: II did not know until this
morning that Commissioner Douthit
had been doing the same thing, else
l would have suspended him along
with MIR. QUITS" The afternoon be-.
fore that interview was given out |
told MIR. Milos ] had made a sale of
contraband BECAUSE my superior Off
Ger, Commissioner Douthit, had
made such sales and instructed me
to do likewise, and I showed him on
the books the records of such sales
by MIR. Douthit. After hearing what
l had to say On tho subject Mr.. Miles
declined to revoke my temporary sus-
pension then, but said he would think
it over during the night and decide
next morning, admitting that it
looked hard to suspend mo when 1
had no entent to do wrong and
thought was doing right in obeying
the orders of my superior officer.
The morning after my suspension he
went to Spartanburg. When he re-
turned he said to Mr.. Douthit: "IfI
had known when suspended Mr..
QUITS what I know now, would not
have suspended him" And yet the
old hypocrite, after admitting that he
had not treated me fairly, appealed
to the members of the board to con.
firm my suspension and thus confirm
his action as a courtesy due him by
the members of the board.

statement "that the money obtained
from the sale of contrabend had been

At the LYCeum

The cut of Miss Louise Brehany and the following notice recently appeared in "Tal- ent," prominent musical and lyceum pub lication in New York:
 "The charm and grace of Louise Brehany make her favorite with her audience be- fore she sings a note. There is a sympa- thetic chord touched by her mere presence; and her hearers are so attracted by her personality that they are prepared to spond with enthusiasm when her sweet and thrilling voice awakens the sympathy and touches the feeling of her hearers.
 'Her first public engagement was with the Chicago Marine band during the winter season in Chicago, when she became great favorite and afterwards accompanied the band on it's tour. She was afterwards en- gagged by the Redpath Lyceum Bureau for a tour with the Bernard Listeman String Quartet. then by H. B. Thearle for the Remenyi grand concerts, and she shared honors with that great master during two seasons. Her latest success was with the Sousa band for It's special tour in Troop ing of the Colors,' and the Louise Brehany Ballad and Opera Concerts is the most suc- cessful concert attraction on the road this season. When Manager H. B. Thearle de- cided to place her at the head of her own company, he also decided to surround her with the best talent; with this in view he secured MT. w. Guillaume Sauvlet the emil nent Belgium pianist, whose attainments have received recognition not only through out this country, but the world. Miss Agnes Pringe, who plays the violin marvelousy well, is also a member of the company Miss Jessie Waters, a young and brilliant singer, together with MT. Lester Jones, tenor, and MT. George Dethlefs, splendid baritone, make up the organization"
 This splendid company will appear at Seals hall tomorrow (ThursdaO night. Seats are now on sale at Seals Bros store. The prices are 50 cents, 70 cents and $1. Special prices to Lyceum members who show their membership cards when reserv- ing seats.

EMBEzzLER ARRESTED.
Martin L. Reddock, Mississippi Post
 master, is Short in His Accounts.

Martin L. Reddock. postmaster at Yazoo City, Miss, who is under indictment by the United States grand jury at Jackson, on a charge of embezzlement, was arrested yes terday in the Mecca saloon in First avenue by Officers Johnston, Patton and Desk Ser geant John Rowlette of the police depart ment.
 When apprehended by the officers Red- dock made no denial of his identity and quietly submitted to arrest He was taken to police headquarters, where he is being held to await the arrival of United States officials from Mississippi
 Reddock is 3s years of age and very heavy built. He takes his arrest coolly and says he Is willing to return to Yazoo City and face the music. He admits that he was indicted on the charge of embedding 3D. 134.05, but denies that his books are crooked. He says that he loaned the money to friends who promised to return 1t before the time for his quarterly remittance to the government, which they failed to do, hence his plight.
 Reddock is a whole-souled jolly fellow and spoke freely of his trouble, which appar- ently does not weigh very heavy on his mind He was appointed postmaster at YaZoo City about one year ago by Presi- dent Mckinley, having previously held re- sponsible positions under republican admin istrations. He left Yazoo City on January 1, of this year, and since that time has trav- eled considerably, having first gone to Texas, where he evaded the officers on sev- eral occasions.
 The United States officials were at once notified of Reddocks arrest and Chief Me- Donald received reply from United States Marshal F. W. Collins at Jackson, stating that he would arrive at o'clock this morn ing to take the prisoner back.
 Officer Patton who formerly lived in Mis- slssippi, is personally acquainted with Red dock and his family and recognized him at first sight.
