The Jim Crow Committee

Washington D. c. Sept. II, 1902.
Mr.. Daniel Murray,
Dear Sir
Your letter inviting me to be
present at your residence, to meet The
chairman, Mr.. Weller, of the public
Comfort Committee for the coming
Grand Army Encampment, was re-
ceIved. Please convey to your COM
mittse my respectful deClinatiOn, and
remind your chairman that, | am as
tree as he, and IN this enlightened
age of our civilization no negro with
the proper conception of self-reSpeCt
would act as a member Of his commit
tee, after his declaration that, he
would not think Of placing colored
men on committees with white men,
While have great respect for those
who fought to save the Union, have
no respect for any man who makes
such a statement, who smelled not the
DoWder, nor saw the battlefield dur
ing the late war of the rebellion. nor
the Spanish American war. Having at
heart, as you have, your own welfare
and that of the negro race IN the Dis
tTict of Columbia, you should tell Mr..
Weller that there are some negroes
here as good. ifnot better, than he,
and when he attempts to discriminate
on account OF color he must select ne
groes on the order Of Booker T. Wash
ngton who are willing to apologize
for the wrong done to the negro, no
matter how grave they are. Again de-
clining TO serve ona Jim Crow COM
miltee, believe me to De as ever hsg
Right and Justice.

THE CAUSE OF THE SOUTH.


Gen. E. P. Alexander, Confederate
veteran, who was one of the orators at
the celebration of West Points one
hundredth anniversary, paid a most
eloquent tribute to the South and the
Confederate soldier, the hero IN home
spun, but in the course of his address
he said: "Whose vision is now so dull
that he does not recognize the blessing
it is to himself and to his children to
live in an undivided country who wou'd
today relegate his own State to the po-
sition 1t would hold in the world were
it declared sovereign, as are the
States of Central and South America :?
To ask these questions is to answer
them. And the answer is an acknowl-
edgement that it was best for the South
that the cause was lost. The right to
secede, the stake for which we fought
SO desperately, were it offered us as a
gift we would reject as we would pro-
position to suicide"

Williams news., 1902-10-25

The district attorney and super visors are important offices to the taxpayers, and the taxpayers want something done by them when they are elected. That's why the repub- icans have nominated E. M. Doe for district attorney-a man with a wide legal reputation of a high or der. They wanted men for super visors who had long and successful business experience, and that is why J. c. Blake and Geo. Wharton were nominated. Two better men cannot be found in the county for the places. The Santa Fe nor any other corporation could not budge them an inch from what they know to be right, and every taxpayer who knows them, knows that, too. MT. Wharton is an old time resident of the county, with a clear record for honesty and trust worthy man, who has always fought his battles on the square. MT. Blake is a safe man to trust in any position. With he and MT. Whar- ton on the board the taxpayers will have a pair of men to bank on, and the county will have money to bank with as long as they are in office.
