man in this case an important office,
why could he not have assigeed him
to duty at some northern port, where,
according to republican professions,
he would at least have the friendly
recognition of the whites Of his own
party? An honest and capable
negro ought to be as acceptable as
surveyor of the Port of New York,
for instance, as the notorious pollti-
clan Clarkson. But Mr.. Roosevelt
is not doing business In that way.
He Is aware that race prejudice in
the north is as pronounced as any
where else, and that such appoint
ments in the north would cause q
party insurrection against him. HIS
real purpose appears to be to punish
the south. He has succeeded in
solidifying it as it was not before

A mill man told us yesterday that
the mill men were at the point Of
going to war over the use of cars.
Cars are 50 scarce that the demand
cannot be near supplied and hence the
mills are put to a great della Of trouble
and inconvenience in shipping the
outputs of the mills. In the mean
time the railroads are pressing into
service everything on wheels that
will carry lumber and doing all in
their power to relieve the mill men
and unlock the block. There was
never such demand for rolling stock
since there was a railroad, though
every shop is turning ont cars every
day. But there was never so much
freight before offered in Mississippi
for transportation. Besides this, the
crops Of the west are being moved and
thousands of cars are in use in that
section that have not been in service
before during the past twelve months.
The crops and the lumber business
being on at the same time it has
caused a great strain on the roads and
pressed into service every car fit for
usp.
