The people Of our city and

stantial manner their apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the fair di-
rectors TO give to them a credit
able, instructive and entertain
ing fair. To bring an enterprise
of this magnitude to success
ful consummatiOn is task al
most herculean and it is one de-
manding public spirit, cOmmun-
lty pride and unfagging energy
and work on the part of those
to whom it is entrusted. 1t is
pro bono publico and the only re
ward in store for the directorate
is success. Let's do our share

In conversation with Hon. r.
l.. Bradley, railroad com mission
er elect from the middle district
of Mississippi, a few days ago,
THE DISPATCH heard him give
expression to views relative to
the management of the States
convicts which will cause salts
faction the State over in his cleo
ton. The remarks were in
spired by the statement that the
prison commission had awarded
the contract for the shoes for
the convicts to a St. Louis firm.
Mr.. Bradley stated that in the
large number of Mississippi con-
victs there ought to be enough
cObblers to manufacture the con-
Victs' shoes and he believed it
would pay the State to raise and
manufacture it's own molasses
etc, rather than buy it. In other
words, he believed the States un-
fortunates should be made self
sustaining as far as possible and
his influence and vote on the
board would be exerted to that
end. With such practical ideas
prevailing on the prison commits
sion there ought to be no cause
for complaint or scandal and un-
der the new administration we do
not believe there will be. Mr..
Bradley is giving thought al
ready to many of the questions
which will confront him and
promises to make a capable, use
full and conscientious official.

A reporter went with Mayor
Gunter yesterday and saw a pic
ture of poverty, woe, misery.
distress and suffering which
would touch the stoutest heart.
On the bed lay a little girl dead +,
her misery ended, while children
half-clad and hungry struggled
around the room. 1t was the
abode of a colorod man and his
family and paternal neglect had
brought about this deplorable
condition. Mr.. Gunter interested
himself in the case and provided
relief for the suffering while he
got in behind the negro man and
will make him support his family
or will apply the law to his case
and all others like it. Mr.. Gun
ter IS humanitarian efforts are to

to enforce the vagrant laws and to
make worthless negroes provide
for their families will have a good
effect throughout this ccmmun-
ity in relieving distres and suf-
fering this winter.

The killing of policeman by
negroes Ing Birmingham, ST.

attention to the danger in which
this occupation places its occu-

as jest that the policeman s lot
is not a happy one but a greater
truth was never put on paper.
They are called to deal with the
vicious, low, depraved and Grim

quently the case that they sur
render life a martyr to law and

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, an alarm has again

our Lodge, death has entered the
sacred precincts of our order and
the spirit of our brother, j. NJ.
Wakefield, has passed into that
other land from whose bourne no
traveller has ever returned, and
Whereas, believing that we
should ever cherish the memory
of a departed brother in our
hearts, and desiring to give ex-
preston TO our appreciation of
his virtues, we declare our sense
of love in this memorial which
we inscribe to his memory.
Quiet in nature. kind and char
table towards his fellowman in
thought and speech, gentle in
his dealings with all, firm and
sympathetic in the administra-
ton of the law as a judicial Off

ed himself to his friends as
man and a Mason. whose virtues
will live long after the flowers
have faded upon his grave.
AS a Mason our brother was
ever true to his obligations. He
was worthy of every trust re-
posed in him; we'll qualified to
perform the duties i'm posed upon
him, and in all the walks of life
was ready to extend helping
hand to every needy brother so

Anv entertainment which

Any entertainment which in
structs and elevates as we'll as
gives pleasure is to be endorsed
and sustained and commended.
For that reason the local lyceum
course deserves the cordial sup
port of every citizen of this com
munity. The manifold agencies
of entertainment in this era and
age are so demoralizing and de-
grading that a really helpful and
inspiring lecture and music
course is to be welcomed, 1t
appeals to the higher and better
qualities of ones nature and cul-
tivates aesthetic tastes and ten
denotes which go for the making
of the better man. The world
over the lyceum course has mer-
tied and received this recog-
milton and endorsement and in
this community of culture, learn
ming and refinement it should
succeed. A really fine season is
assured and Columbus must pat
roniZe it.

No Primary.

The attempt to have the candi-
dates for the vacancy in the
democratic nomination for JUS
tice of the peace of this the sec
ond district settle their claims to
the Office in a primary seems to
have failed. The executive com
mittee decided that it had no au-
thority to order another primary
and then the three candidates,
Messrs. F. w. Flood, H. ID.
Foote and A. E. Harrison all
agreed to abide by the result of
primary and intended to hold
the same tomorrow, the 18th.
Interest in the proposed move
ment has Jagged and now it has
been abandoned altogether. The
matter will be settled in the gen
eral election and the candidates
names will go Oh the ticket in op-
position to the regular nominee,
that is provided their petitions
are presented to the election
commissioners fifteen days be-
fore the election, which gives
them only a few days to prepare
the same.
In this connection the county
committee will issue an address
calling voters attention to the
dilemma in which Mr.. Beverly
Matthews is placed in this mat
ter and urging them to support
the nominee and to vote for one
other justice.
