WE EXCHANGE
RECORDS

Bring us your old disc records that
you have grown tired of (either CO.
lumbia or Victor), and we will eX-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 80 cents for your 10-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
The new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
a decided Advancement in the art of
record making. They have full,
sweet tone, and owing to the manner
in which they are made they have a
less scratching tone; the needle seems
to run smoother on the record. We
also wish to introduce to your notice
the new Grand Opera Sound Box,
which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand
Opera Sound Box for any of the old
style Columbia sound boxes now on
the market. Call at our warerooms
and get our plan Of exchange. We
carry the largest line of records in
the city.

A social highwayman is operating in
the swell Waldorf-Astoria, New York
where wealthy guest was robbed of
$4,000 which he left on table in his
rooms. This is only one of many sim
liar cases recently reported at the big
hotel Mrs. Genevieve Haines, the au-
thor. lost a bag of valuable jewels in
much the same manner recently, and
they have not yet been recovered. 1T
is thought that some person display
ing a large expanse of shirt front
makes business of ordering coffee
and awaiting such chances as these.
Many of the victims prefer to pocket
their losses rather than have the Incl
dent exploited in the newspapers and

The Federal judge of the district is Thomas C. Jones. who was brigadier- general in the Confederate army, and who has served a term as governor Of the state. He is a man Of the highest character. and has given proof that he is actuated by lofty sense of duty. There can be no doubt that he will do all in his power to bring the guilty per- sons to justice, and there is reason to believe that he will succeed. The white people of the region owe it to them selves and to their children to uphold him in his efforts to punish the men who have thus outraged the law of the land and trampled upon the rights of humanity.
 Under system Of peonage such as these alleged malefactors Of the Black Belt" are said to have established, the victims are in a state far worse than negroes ever had to endure in the days of legalized slavery, for they are sub ject to all the pains of the latter condi- tion, without having the benefit of any of it's safeguards and humanities.
 The protection of the negro in his nat ural rights is duty of the superior race-a duty which should be held dou- bly binding in consequence of the pre- vailing restriction or practical aboli- tion of the political status which was formerly his. Since the white people of the south rule, and are resloved to con- tinue to rule, without regard to post bellum legislation or threats from any quarter, it is incumbent upon them to exercise their authority in dealing with the negro in a broader sense than that of bare justice. They must temper jus tice with mercy and make allowance for his mental and moral shortcomings.
 The drawing of the racial line in the proper place is necessary for the we'll being of both races and the safety of the state. There can be no such thing as social equality of the races, or negro domination in the politics of any part Of the south. But on either side of the line of distinction lie the native rights of man, and these must be protected by the race that rules
 Noblesse oblige Since the white peo- pie of the south make and administer the laws, they cannot avoid the respon- sibility. for any failure of justice.- Memphis Scimitar.

THE NEW SLAVERY OF THE, S BLACK BELT,

This is a strange story which comes from the "Black Belt" or Alabama, to the effect that negro named Joe Pat terson has been sold into involuntary servitude time and again, in satisfac- tion of trif1ing debts. If proved to be true, 1t should bring the extreme pen alty of the law upon all concerned in the crime.
 According to the report, Patterson borrowed @ dollar from Robert Frank lin, a white man. promising to repay him within day or two. He failed to meet his obligation, whereupon Frank lin had him arrested and taken before 8 neighboring justice of the peace. The charge of obtaining money under false pretences was made. The accused was given no chance to summon witnesses or do anything else in his own behalf. The magistrate imposed small fine, and the negro, having no money, and being given no opportunity to get any, was helpless. Whereupon he was sold for twenty-five dollars to Q white man named Hardy, who worked him for year and then sold him to another white man named Pace, for forty dol lars. Having attempted to escape in a boat belonging to his employer or "owner," Patterson was tried and given a sentence of six months additional servitude. He was finally rescued by the Federal authorities, and an indict- ment has been found against Franklin by the Federal grand jury for the mid de district of Alabama, upon informa- ton secured by Captain H. c. Dickey, agent of the United States Secret Ser vice.
 It is fruther reported that Captain Dickey, in the course of his investiga~ tions, found that Patterson's case was by no means the only one of the kind. He ascertained that a number of ne- groes in the "Black Belt' of Alabama had been treated as Patterson was; in fact, that system of slavery had been established in that region, under which negroes were arrested on trifing charges, tried and convicted off-hand and sold into bondage in satisfaction of fine and costs.
 The story seems almost too shocking to be true, and yet in at least one case a grand jury composed of citizens of the locality has had sufficient evidence of its truth to justify an indictment.
