A RINGING CHARGE.

Vicksburg, Dec. Criminal court
convened this morning, and after the
impaneling of the grand jury, Judge
George Anderson began his charge,
which was listened to with eager in
terest. He delivered ringing charge,
touching all kinds of characters of vice
and law breaking usually referred
to in charge, and then wound up by
placing particular stress uTon the
Sunday law breaking by whiskey sa-
looms and the running of gambling
joints. The charge was stinger and
aimed directly at individuals and To-
cations, in some statements so clearly
that it is believed the present grand
jury will make many indictments.
The judge now has eighteen saloon
keepers under their Oaths that they
would not keep open on Sunday from
a former term of court, sentence hav-
ing been withheld upon the promise
that the laws would be respected.

Those Who Fought the Lily Whites
the Fortunate Ones,
AND ARE REMEMBERED FIRST,
White Republicans Uneasy Over
Their Places.

Birmingham, Dec. There is
great rejoicing on the part Of the ne
eroes of Alabama becuase they are to
receive office under the republican ad-
ministration. J. 0. Thompson, the
new collector of internal revenues,
took oath Of Office today, and he has
announced some changes in his office
and in the field There are negroes
on the list. Ad Winds, of Greens
boro, who is a strong personal friend
of Booker T. Washington, getting
fine place in the main Office in Birm-
ingham. Wimbs fought the lily
white movement hard. He went to
Washington and presented his claims
and pleaded for interference with
President Roosevelt. This pleading,
it is believed, caused the negro educa-
tor to put in word, and the work
has been done. This is but the start
ing of negro appointment to office, it
is believed. Mr.. Thompson has given
two places to negroes in his Office,
either in Birmingham or in the state.
When questioned on the subject Mr..
Thompson asserted that this was not
Unprecedented and that former re-
publican administrations appointed
negroes to Office in the internal reve-
nue. service. Notwithstanding dis
claimer on the part of Booker I.
Washington as to his being in poll
tics, it is stated here that the new
procedure, the appointment of negroes
to office, is the result of his inteTven-
tion in behalf of his race. So far
there has not been any unfavOrable
comment, but the people of Alabama
are nOw-awaiting anxiously the future
tG See how far the wishes of President
Roosevelt are to be carried out and
how many negroes will actually get
into office. There is no feeling of
safety on the part of republican office
holders in this state as to the length
of their holding the offices in the fu-
ture. 1t is believed that there will
be several changes and that men will
be appointed who are more friendly
to the negro and a grand distribution
of pie to the colored brethren is looked
for. The appointment of negroes by
Thompson in the service of revenue
collector is the first to take place un-
der the new order of things, but a
dozen other appointments are now
looked for. Negroes in Birmingham
say they will have as many offices il
the federal service as the whites, ex.
cept that the bosses will be white men

BIG STRIKE ON IN HOUSTON
The Efforts to Effect a Statement
Prove Futile
IT'S A QUESTION OF RULES.
The Strikers Claim to Have the
Sympathy of the Public.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 1.-The street
car conductors and motormen walked
out this morning. and not car
moved all day Efforts made at a set.
Element daring the day have been
without avail. The question of rules
submitted by the men is the keystone
of the trouble The men claim they
have been working twelve and thir-
teen hours day for less than 81 and
they demand 50 for nine hours work;
they also demand recognition of the
union and the adoption of certain
rules. The company has offered
slight increase, but it is in the shape
of n bonus and not a straight offer.
Manager Payne announces that he will
make an effort to run cars within
few days whether he comes to an
agreement with the union men or not.
The one hundred and thirty-flve men
out are very orderly and are being
very carefully coached to stay off the
streets. Webster and Field, of Boston,
control the Houston company.
The union remained i'll session for
several hours, appointing committees
and getting in readiness for an active
campaign for public sympathy. The
men We're told not TO talk too much;
to make simple statements in the line
with the press committee statements
in the papers and not to cOngregate at
saloons and indulge in abuse of the
company officials.
The streets are in extremely bad
condition, owing to the heavy rains
Of 81 III. rr4he past few days. There are large
numbers or r peOple who live long dis
tances from their work, and there are
scores of children who depend on the
cars to reach the schools. 10 those IL
is a great hardship and there 1s-1n1irSseh 1s-nrsEeh
murmuring i'll consequence.
The men claim to have the sympa-
thy of the city officials, and say that
this sympathy will result in consider
able good to them, as the city has q
number of complaints pending against
the company for violating ordinances
and failure to keep contracts, some of
which are now up for discussion be-
| tween the officials of the city and
the company, and a settlement of I
which may be forced by the strike If
it continues for any length of time.
Manager Payne makes a statement
i'll which he says that the company
really intended to raise the wages Of
the men but the demands made were
so sweeping that they could not be
met III justice to the interests Of the
company. He has failed to state
what increase had been decided on by
the company, the proposition made to
the men virtually being the same as
the present scale, except that there
has been bonus system, dependent
on the pleasure of the company in
granting. This bonus was to be ten
per cent of the earnings of the en-
plOye, conditioned upon faithlessness
in work, loyalty to tnhe company
and general good behavior, one report
or complaint being sufficient to dee
prive the employe Of it.
