SEES WAR IN AMERICA.
United states Minister to Haiti Pre-

y
diets Bloodshed in the sonth.
London, Sept. "A according to William
r.. Powell of New Jersey. United States
minister to Haiti, spectacle which
America is likely soon to witness will be
white men fighting one another instead
OF colored men. Mr.. Powell, who is
making a brief stay in London. said to a
correspondents:
The race question in the south, no far
as 1t affects American politics. 10 TEN.
Sporarily settled. The negroes have been
sdisfranchised and resignedly accept the
situation. They can afford to bide their
time, and meanwhile bitter antagonisms
are arising between the higher and low
Ter classes Of whites in the southern
states, both Of whom covet political as-
tendency and each Of whom despises the
other.
The superior whites regard their.
poorer fellows as even more objectiona-
Able than the negroes and VIII finally. de-
sire to gee them reduced to political nom
existence. Just as have been the blacks.
The poorer whites. on the other hand,
believing themselves the real exponents
OF democracy. look upon their lofty
brethren as a perpetual menace to the
existence Of free institutions. and would
disfranchise the aristocrats il they
could do so. considering such course
patriotic.
Both OF these antagonistic classes
have precedent for eliminating undesir-
able political factors: they got their
|shand in when they struck down the
black mans political liberty, and may
be expected TO attempt further exploits
in the same line whenever occasion de-
mands 1t. In other words. the south
has erected political system which is
based on wrong. and wrong bears bitter
fruit.
The Goebel-Taylor feud In Kentucky
Is an illustration Of what mean. The
democrats thought they had right to
|disfranchise the republican party be-
cause as they held, that party was
made up in the south chiefly Of the
lower order Of whites. Their policy
amounts almost to civil war. and 5actu-
ally did result in murder. Further In
stances OF this kind will result before
tie south Will be purged from the sin
lofabarring the black men from the cleo
ton booth
The negroes are not insurrectioninsts
and will issue no call to arms. Their
ambition is not SO much to vote as to
climb to an Intellectual. moral and
commercial eminence which they have
never yet occupied. Ultimately. when
they become skilled merchants. manu-
lecturers. teachers and bankers. they
will be merged into broader national
citizenship and then the right Of suf-
frage will be given to them.

that take the liberty OF quoting from
his report:
There has been nothing in the his
tory Of the postal service Of the United
States so remarkable as the growth of
the rural free delivery system. Within
the past two years, largely by the aid
of the people themselves, who, in APP
probation of the helping hand which
the government extended to them, have
met these advances halfway, 1T has inn
planted itself SO 1irmly upon the postal

ment, but has to be dealt with as an
established agency Of progress. await
ing only the action of the congress to
determine how rapidly it shall be de-
|veloped.
The facts hereinafter set forth, with
some elaboration of detail, which the
Importance of the subject seems to me
to warrant, will demonstrate
That the free delivery of mails in ru-
raj communities can be widely extended
With great benefit to the people and
with little cost to the revenue.
That whenever the system has been
Ijudiciously inaugurated, with sincere
purpose to make it a success, 1t has
been followed by these beneficial re-
suits:
1. Increased postal receipts. More
letters are written and received More
Inewspapera and magazines are sub
scribed for. So marked Is this advance
ment that quite a number OF rural
routes already pay for themselves by
the additional business they bring.
2. Enhancement Of the value Of farm
lands reached by rural free delivery
This increase Of value has been esti-
mated at as high az IS per acre In some
states. A moderate estimate is from
Sc toss per acre

dltion OF the roads traversed by the

These routes supply daily service to
about 100000 people. at an average cost
Of 81 cents per capita. This is remark
able showing, especially when we re-
member that free delivery in cities
costs about $3.50 per ca pita, and in esti-
mating the cost OF rural delivery no ac-
count is taken of the great increase Of
postal receipts, which average from so
to % per cent wherever the service is
established.

His Arrest Follows But the Case Is
Settled Acknowledged His
Guilt.


the history Of Marshall county school
affairs has come to light by the arrest
of young man who has been teaching
school in Bangor district No. 4, on the
charge Of forgery The case has
caused much surprise and comment in
the vicinity Of Bangor and Liscomb, as
the young man in question, Ray L..
Bixby. is a member of highly respect
ed and prominent family Of the latter
town
Bixby has been teaching school in this
county for few years. From the
facts gathered 1t appears that he en-
gagged to teach the fall term in Bangor
NO. and commenced his school three
weeks ago. He wrote to County Super
lintendent Morrissey during the session
OF the normal asking him to accommo-
date him by extending four months
certificate which he held but which
had expired. This the superintendent
refused to do, Informing Bixby that he
would have to pursue the same course
as others and take the examinations
and attend normal. This was followed
by letter from the teacher saying he
had been mistaken in the time Of the
expiration of his certificate and had
found that it ran for period OF eight
months. Certificates are never issued
for that length OF time and superin-.
tendent Morrissey evidently thought it
passing strange If one was in existence
and made a hurried trip to Bangor and
visited Blk by's school and later his
home at Liscomb What passed be-
tween them is not matter of record.
but the superintendent swore cut a
warrant before Mayor Sherman charg-
ing Bixby with forgery. The hearing
was set for Wednesday evening but
when the time for trial came the case
was dismissed by Bixby surrendering
the doctored document and signing a
written statement to the effect that he
changed the figures. Bixby was there
fore compelled to give up his school
and another teacher will have to be
procured by the directors.
County Superintendent Morrissey was
seen today regarding the case. He said
he had no desire to push the case
against Bixby and that all he had in
sisted upon was the surrender of the
document and the compliance With the
rules governing the securing Of teach
ers' certificates. The changing Of the
figures was very crude piece of work
and the paper showed plainly that an
erasure had been made and another
figure written in.
Bixby pro ably did not appreciate the
enormity of his ofrense in changing the
certificate and took that means to es-
cape the hard work OF the normal and
the ordeal of taking the examinations.
While the superintendent says he re-
GREETED to resort to8extreme measurs

Sents he could not Ignore an act Of that
kind, and in this position he is right
Bixby could be sent to the peniten-5
gtiary. but he has without doubt learned
a good lesson as It is.
