orphanage paper-Charity and children.
Well now this paper is no more like
Charity and Children than needles like
button. The orphanage paper had It's
plant given to it pays no rent no salaries,
has few expenses. It is printed by the
orphan boys, but mark my prediction; II
there's ever trouble at the orphanage it
will come through the paper there.
Then DR.. Hufham spoke of the difficult
ties in the way of successful newspaper
management in North Carolina and added;
IT'S the great quicksand into which
brains and money are sunk. but you'll
find many men who think they know how
to run a newspaper
Dr. Hufham next took up the Baptist
Book Store to which Mr.. White had refer
red as "a money making establishment"
mo MONEY MAKING SCHEME"
"You know we didn't go into it with
that purpose. If it makes money, we'll
and good, but that was not our object in
establishing it. 1t has just happened to
be so managed that money is made out
Of it. We have Just as much right to so
into the cotton future business or rail-
road speculation as we have to go into
he book business or the newspaper bust
ness if our only purpose is to make money.
We are expected to work and plan here
for Gods glory and not get up money
making schemes.
THE scheme proposed here is violat-
ing of the spirit of this convention. !
beseech you by the shade of Meredith,
Chas Worth Skinner and Waite. not to
do this thing, and run the risk of division
and dissension. Only this morning two
prominent Baptists. men of position in

ing to my home.
"They say we won't be responsible for
the debt incurred by the purchase of the
paper. Well how are you going to buy
and own a thing and then not be respon
sible for the purchase price? l don't
want to do business Of that sort. You
say they'll take enough stock in the north

start a stock watering company Just yet.

they tell us. And what are we TO get?
Not type, not a shooting stick q don't

nothing but the name and good Will If
there ever vas a bigger fool proposition
in this world I've not heard of it.
II make motion to refer this thing
back to Edwards e Broughton and Bailey.
Let them settle the matter between them
and then come up to the convention next
year with their proposition. Then if the
denomination says buy-well I'll go with
them, but I'll not think they've done
right.

SETH CARTER
DECISION
Attorneys Spring 1t In the
Ripper Case
NEGROES AS JURORS
We're They Disseminated Against
In Grand And Petit Juries In FL
pdso?

The Kipper case was called promptly
when the district court convened yes
terday Judge A. G. Wilcox appeared
for the first time in the case in con-
juction with M. w. Stanton as counsel
for the defense.
The defendant. Sergeant Ripper,
appeared as before in the most
faultless attire, full uniform, i'm
maculate collar and necktie and new
patent leather shoes. He seems to
follow the proceedings indifferently.
AS soon as the case was called the
attorneys began to strive for further
delay Their chief ground was found
in the recent decision Of the supreme
court of the United States in the case
of Seth Carter carried up from the die
trics court at Galveston. The facts OF
this case are in substance: Seth Car
ter, negro, was convicted OF murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
hang at Galveston. His counsel ap-
pealed the case contendiDg that Car
TER had been Disseminated against in
the selecting of jurors because negroes
were excluded. The case was remand
ed and q new trial bad.
Attorneys Wilcox and Stanton NOV
ed to qussh the Indictment on the
ground that Ripper as negro had
been Disseminated against in the Sc
lection of grand jurors. They came
thoroughly prepared to fight, and to
prove their charges of alleged discri-
nina tion they had summoned as jurors
q mum Der of prominent colOred men to
testify before the court.
Fred Plummer was the first OF these
called. He was q rather light COM
plexioned negro about middle aged,
we'll dressed aud Intelligent looking
He is engaged in the grocery business
on Third street between Stanton and
Kansas streets. In his manner he was
quiet aud answered all questions in q
straig htforward manner.
Ia answer to questions by Judge
Wilcox he testified that he was cit
izen of the United States and the state
of Texas and negro Ia race. He was
a freebolder ard householder IN the
state and county and could read and
write. He had resided in Ell Paso for
q mum Der of years and had never been
summoned for jury service. So far as
he knew no negroes had ever been
summoned on either the grand or petit
juries since he had been In town. He
said that there were alarge mum Der of
oolored men in town fully qualified as
jurors.
On cross examination by Mr.. Dean
the witness said that there might have
been good many negroes summoned
as jurors without his knowing any

been on the grand jury while G. C.
Shelton had been ON the regular panel.
| Several further efforts we're made
| without success to get the court to
quash the Indictment on technicsl
| grounds and then an application was
made for change of venue on the al
| legged ground that public pref ddice
against the defendant was too stcong
| to allow him to have fair trial here.
AS TO PUBLIC FEELING.
To show the state of public feeling
the defense placed on the stand q num-
Der of citizens and the state called
others in rebuttal.
Attorneys w. D. Howe and D. A.
Richardson expressed the opinion that
there was q very strong feeling against
she colored soldiers and IL was dou btful
il fair trial could be obtained here.
G. M. hurry expressed similar
opinion.
James D. Ponder and John Sneed,
newspaper reporters, were then called.
Both said that the killing OF Stewart
had caused great excitement
and public Indignation. but
the excitement had now subsidized.
The Indignation was general and not
against Ripper or any particular SOL
dier, and they did not think any re-
spectacle Juror would violate his oath
or decide the case other than accord
ing to the law and the evidence.
Louis Evans was the last witness
called by the defendant. His state
mept was substantially the same as the
others.
CAN HAVE FAIR TRIAL
Hamilton Raynor. special officer for
the Southern Pacific company, and
Hon. W. w. Bridgers were called on
behalf of the state in rebuttal. They
both expressed the belief that the de-
PENDANT could secure fair aud Impair
tial trial in this county.
District Attorney Dean then stated
that he had no further evidence to sub
NIT at that time but that he would
have fifty OF the business and PROBES
sional men on hand in the morning.
Judge Walshall, however, announced
that he did not care to hear from more
than few persons.

thing of it. When asked by the dis
trict attorney IL he knew OF any dis
elimination against his race the wit
ness answered quietly but firmly, :"
would rather not answer that ques
ton"
Mr. Dean. however, again put th'
question, asking II he knew OF his owl
knowledge of any Discrimination In
regard to jury service and he replied
mo. not in that regard" He wat
then excused aud John Clemmons, the
we'll known barber and politician, tool
the stand.
CLEMMONS AS A JUROR.
The Texas Cyclone stated that he
was a citizen of the United States aud
was qualified for jury duty: He had
jury and only few times On the petit
Jury. Last month he served three
days in the county court having been
summoned for one peculiar oase.
"Now, wasn't there q good deal oil
kicking about your serving At the
sime?" asked Mr. Stanton.
Mr.. Desn objected, but Mr.. Stanton
dropped the question for moment
only to take it up q minute or toe
later.
THAT was since this case came up,
eyes, sir"
"Now wasn't there great deal OF
talk around town about negroes on
iuries?" asked Mr.. Stanton
81 object" said MIR. Dean, This
talk could have been started by any ir-
responsible party"
The court subtained the ooJec-
ton.
JOHN WOODS ON THE GRAND JURY.
Allen Woods was the next witness
called. His testimony was similar to
that of those who proceeded him. %
REORGANIZATION be said he heard his
uncle, John Woods, now deceased,
speak of having once served on the
grand jury several years ago
and once about six years ago he had
bear1 i'm tell of being summoned and
being fined S25 for falling to appear.
The witness said he had been sum
moned few times on the petit jury
but excused.
G.. G. Shelton, the colored second
hand dealer, also testified in q similar
strain.
MOTION OvERRULED.
When the taking of testimony Oh
this point had bee completed Judge
Walthsll overruled the motion TO
ouaSh the indictment. The case ola
not, however, go TO trial at once. The
lawyers were ready with more m
tions. They took exceptions to the
ruling of the court aud then objected
to the en- tire venire of jurors summon
ed by the sheriff on the same ground,
viz. that colored men had been eXclud-
ed. This too was overruled and ex-
ceptions taken. In this it seems that
the court does not believe that there
has been any Discrimination against
colored men.
The law of Texas makes no distinc-
ton in til cory but the general prac-
tice throughout the eu tire state has
been not to summon negroes The
evidence showed that in this county
colored men had served from time to
time, and ofteper had been summon ed
and excused. generally as special
Jurors. One, John Woods. had once
