THE CRAP-SHOOTERS
NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF THEIR
LIVES.
Preparations are Being Made to Send
Them TO LIBRA.

Some new ideas relating to the
transportation of American negroes
in Liberia have been introduced by
Rev. ]. p. Harris and Mr.. and Mrs.
j. II. Green, three Mississippi ne
groes of intelligence and business "a
pacity, who expect to reside perma-
nently IN Liberia and give all their
time to the interests of emigration of
their race to that country, says he
Chicago Chronicle. These agents.
before any negroes are invited to go
to Liberia, are TO make a thorough
study of various parts of the country
TO ascertain what locations in eleva-
ted and healthful sections OF the re-
public. away from the coast, are de-
slFable us homes for Americans. The
effort will be made to build up vigcT-
ons and self-supporting settlements,
whose chances for success will be
greatly improved by the fact that
favorable conditions are to be found
before Americans are invited to go
to the new regions.
Mr.. Green reports that about 1000
negroes, substantial farmers, arti-
sans skilled in various trades and
other persons who will make deslra-
bic cOlonists, are ready to start for
Liberia as soon as they are informed
Fhnt CnifuINlo
cured. No negroes except those
that are qualified to do good and
skillful work will be permitted to
emigrate to the proposed settle
ments. The Information obtained
By the agents in Liberia will be cir
culated among all the members of
the African League, as the emIgra-
ton company is called, so that at all
stages Of progress every one inter-
ested may know just what is being
done to start them off successfully
and just what conditions they will
meet in the new country.
Liberians are very DESTROYS to en-
courage immigration from Ameaica
There is no doubt Of the large agri-
cultural resources of the country and
of the fact that American negroes
can make comfortable homes there,
but the conditions IN the republic are
different from those in this country;
a great deal of the emigration thus
far has been haphazzard and badly
planned, and on the whole the vari-
Gus colonizing enterprises have not
been very successful. 1t remains to
be seen what measure of success will
be attained by this better organized
and apparently well-planned move
ment to provide suitable opportuni
ties to a large number of black
Americans to return to the land of
their fathers.

FREIGHT FOR MOBILE
First Solid Car ReceiVed-How the
Trains VIII Be Handled.

The first solid car for the Mobile.
Jackson and Kansas City road ar
rived here last night and was put on
one of the sidetracks Of the North
eastern. Its destination is Mobile
and doubtless will be taken ont on
that road soon.
All the cars for that road in the
cards here will be handled by the
Jrtheastern, receiving and deliver
ing them, and hence the former road
will have no switch engine here or
will make up its own trains with its
engines. The passenger trains will
run up to the Northeastern passenger
depot to put off and take on passengers
and the Northeastern switch
engine Will take the freight cars and
place them at the north end of that
roads freight depot which the
Mobile road will use.
The wye Of the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City road at the North
eastern junction, nearly a mile from
the depot, will be used for turning
the engines or even the whole train.
especially the passenger train, and
that tram will very probably turn
before entering the city, or in case of
being little late coming In it will
turn going out.

PRESIDENT WAsHINGTON.

The lily whites of Alabama ran up
against hard proposition at the
start and now they are hiring some
one to give them a genteel kicking.
They eliminated the negro from pol
itics entirely, giving him no more
showing than arabbit, and going into
a committee of the whole proceeded
to run things to suit themselves.
This did not suit the negro professor
at Tuskegee, better known as Booker
Washington, and he began to devise
- ways and means to upset the calcu-
La these lily white republic
,sessaasassy--I3is in9uanaa- 18th
President Teddy and felt sure what
he might have to say in regard to the
matter would go and thus save the
hides Of the one hundred prominent
negro politicians in Alabama who,
of course, are all republicans. He
had not forgotten what Bulwer Ly-
ton said:
beneath the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword
So he indited few lines to Presi-
dent Teddy-only a Devastating that
since Mr.. Bingham was not only a
lily white republican, but was fore
most in excluding the negro from
participating In the .srepublican con
vention, and hence Mr.. Thompson,
his friend and neighbor, who had
voted and used all his influence to
have the negro delegation seated, he
thought it nothing but right and JUS
tice that the aforesaid Bingham
should be kicked out of office and
over the garden wall and Mr..
Thompson given his job. 1t is so
stated as q fact that the letter had
not been in Teddy's hands five min
ates before Mr.. Thompson had the
job and Mr.. Bingham had nothing
but the name of lily white republl-
can. Now Mr.. Bingham has LAID off
a week or two to lament. He is sore,
and don't like a niger nohow."
Byron wrote in this wise about Ma
poleon ana 1t about fits Mr.. Bing-
hams case:
NV here is he, the Champion and the child
OF all that's great or little, wise or wtlo?
hose game was empires Il a Who,t
stakes were thrones
Whose table earth--whoSe dice were hu
man bones"
But it seems at this distance tina
the president of the United States o. !
Alabama is on top. What be says
goes, and net only in Alabama, bat
in the free state of Mississippi as
well. He dictated, if the charge is
true, the republican referee of this
state and gave HIM fat office He
is in control of everything in Ala
bama and doubtless in Louisiana
and is, in fact, president Washing
ton, Jr.

THE NEGRO IN HTE WOOD.
PILE

The Vicksbnrg Herald in second
hand way accuses Edgar Wilson. the
republican referee of this state, of be-
ing introduced to Booker Wsahinpton
during the negro visit to Jackson bv
Jim Hill another negro, aud that Mr..
Referee Wilson had consultation
with Booker at another prominent ne
gro's house, thus securing the Office
he now holds. There seems to be
more negro than woodpile in this case
and little too much of both for the
average southern man. -Hattiesburg
Progress.
The worst feature of this affair,
was the referees reported ingratitude
to poor Jim Hill 1t will be remem-
bered that since Mr.. Wilson received
the appointment of United States mar
shall and dispenser of republican pat
ronage in Mississippi, he boosted
through correspondent, that he was
free from self-seeking, and that
his only desire was to uplift the
whole south and increase the price of
town lots. But when Jim Hill intro
duced Wilson to Booker Washington,
Jim held lucrative federal position
at Jackson. The free from self
seeking patriot did not want Hills
office but United States marshal then
held by Mr. Collins. And when the
referee, 1.-The free from self-seeking
Mr.. Wilson, - began TO dispose of the
federal pie, he gave himself the larg-
est slice, the marshalship, to say
nothing of the deputyships given to
his relatives; and then kicked Hill
out of his office, and installed Mr.
Collins therein in order to replace the
latter for losing the marshalship.
Hill is still out in the cold, and no
doutb he will never forgive himself
for having introduced Ed Wilson to
Booker Washington. Vicksburg Post

The Progress desires to whisper in
Uncle Sans off ear to hurry up that
free mail delivery for Hattiesburg.
We are getting Impotence. We
are also getting the benefit of the
odor that permeates the postoffice
building. Negroes crowd in there
that never.got letter in their lives
and if one shoule happen to come to
his address he would think it was
for some one else, as he changes his
name every time the moon changes.
We have been a very patient people

1t seems that the president will
not have the opportunity of shooting
a Mississippi bear after all. The
Jackson correspondent of the Prog
ress denies that Governor Longino
knows anything about the proposed
bear hunt and talks like there is no
truth in the report that all the ar
engagements have been made for
such a hunt. But that coon hunt
over in Alabama has not been
called off and Booker knows every
detau-tlTat is to be carried out.

DIsCREDIT THE KU-KLUX.

Meridian, Nov. 12.-Farmers from
the northern trade territory, who are
arriving in Meridian, discredit the
sensational reports sent out from
jackson that the Ku-Klux had organ
lied and was doing ugly work in Ne
shoba county. They have heard moth
ing of the alleged misdoings of the
citizenship there, and are not disposed
to place the faith in the published re-
ports.
