NEGRO IS ARRESTED FOR
 PRETENDING TO BE WHITE

peculiar incident occurred Monday afternoon on one of the Lakeview cars of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company. and it resulted in the ar- rest of Dick Morrow a negro, who is so nearly white that only those who knew him well could detect the difference.
 The negro frequently passes off for a white man and when there is no one who knows him he is safe. Monday he tried the trick again. but Policeman Hawkins happened to be on the car and detected the negro. He was seated next to white lady on the car and was peacefully en- toying himself. When he saw the police

man he hurriedly left the car and made his escape for the time being, but was afterwards caught.
 This Is the second or third time that the police have arrested the negro on charge of passing himself off for a white person and in that manner violating some of the city ordinances.
 The conductor on the car Monday was asked why he allowed a negro to sit in the white department, and he was sur prised. He denied that a negro had been there, and expressed himself freely when he found that the supposed white man was really negro. The negro will be tried before Judge Feagin.

makes no special allowances for bur

of invention. and the heavy-hearted
fathers necessity must have been tru-
" great. for his invention proved
genial He sat down and penned let
ters to his well-tO-do friends and ac-
qUaintances, inviting each of them to
become godfather to his boy, prom
ising to call the child by his name.
In Germany it is customary for spOn-
sor to offer not merely silver mug
but a present proportionate to his
means to the child, for whose bring
ing up he assumes responsibility in
the eyes of the church. One evening
at dinner given in town, one guest,
over the walnuts and wine, asked
another to pay him call on a certain
day and hour. ''Impossible. replied
the hidden one. "for I have an en-
gagement on that day. Il must be
present at the christening of young
ster who is to be called after me- the
son of X How curious." exclaimed
another; Il am to be godfather to
that very same child. impossible"
said a third: Il have been asked to
be his sponsor and | have already
bought the presents. At this point
the conversation became more and
more interesting, for it turned out
that at that table there were exactly
nine presumptive godfathers 10 the
latest young Y. One of the guests,
with a mathematical bent of mind.
thereupon hazarded this remark: If
there be nine sponsors III spe among
sixteen guests here present, how many
are there among the whole popula-
tom" And it was resolved then and
there to solve the problem. Inquiries
were made next day and the days fol-
lowing, and the result arrived at
though even that may not have been
quite xhaustive-showed that there
were 200 well-to-do male citizens who
had been invited to stand sponsor
for the child, on the understanding
that he was to receive their names in
baptism, and, of course, that they
were to offer acceptable presents at
the font-London Telegraph.

The SOuth's Problem

can qualify himself therefor by get
ting al cGdcation. Under prevailing
col,,.tioae the colored people were
alrost entirely contented. A few
feaihrY-brained members of the race
were dissatisfied but the millennium
itself would be distasteful to them.
The southern whites were solving
the negro problem. They have been
paving for the negro's education. They
have givn him employment. They go
TO his assistance when he gets into
trouble. They doctor him when he
gets sick. The grim fear of want and
poverty never haunts him. for he
knows the white folks" will give him
something to eat and something to
wear. There isn't more contented
race under the sun than the southern
negro.
The lynching of a few negroes IN
the south every year is no proof that
the race is mistrealed. These negroes
are the outlaws of their race, men
who are innate criminals and who be
come ravishers and murderers. No
well-behaved negro need ever have
the least fear of being mistreated by
the whites.
It is hardly necessary to say that
the white people, who constitute fully
tWo-thirds of the population of the
south, propose to dominate it. They
are entitled to the supremacy by rea-
sen of their numbers, their intelli-
gence and their capacity to rule. Fur
thermore the negroes are entirely
content with this supremacy, for they
are perfectly aware that their best
friends are the southern whites.
There are some people in the north
who make a specially of the negro
question: They are continually try
ing to give the negro something he
doesn't want They are degenerates
who have no pride of race, and would
have the south negroized. Some OF
them are sincere cranks, and some
are INSCRIPTIONS politicians. But
they are the very worst enemies the
negro has; for they are trying, con
sciously or unconsciously, to bring on
race conflict. The idea that there will
be race war in the south is far
fetched. There may be few riots
here and there; but the blood OF
every negro killed will be on the head
of the northern marplots.
If there ever was question which
should be left scrupulously to the
southern people for solution it is the
negro question. The north has no
more business trying to meddle in
this question than the south would
have in settling the trouble in the
anthracite region-M Memphis CONNER

Since the days of reconstruction the
negro problem has never been as acute
in the south as it is now. OF course
somebody is responsible for it. Who
is it?
Must the responsibility be laid at
the door of the southern whites? We
do not think SO. They have not
changed their attitude toward the ne
gro at all. The negro has been So
cially extinct in the south just as
the workingham has been socially
extinct in the north. In the last de-
cade some of the southern states have
adopted the educational qualification
or Introduced the Australian ballot
norant colored vote In several states
the railroads have been required TO
proyide separate coaches for whites
and blacks None of these things
have disturbed the relations between
the races in the south The Jim Crow
law does no injustice to the negro.
If he can not ride in the white man
car, the white man can not ride IN
the negro,s car. AS for social equal
ity, the southern negro doesn't want
it. He would much rather associate
with his own people; but whether he
does or not, he has no right to assocl-
ate with any people who do not care
10 associate with him. In the south
we honestly admit our race preJudlces.
If negro should ask for a room at
the Hotel Gayoso he would be turned
away. because he was negro. Wheh
Booker Washington applied for accom-
modation at several hotels in Spring
field, Mass, he was turned away be
cause they were full" 1t is claimed
by the busybodies of the north that
we have greatly Wronged the negroes
by "disfranchising'' them. There are
two classes of negro votes in the
south, those who are educated and
those who are not. The educated ne
gro can vote in any southern state.
In several southern states an educa-
tional qualification prevents the llllt-
crate negro from voting. Now we
will venture to say that there is not
an uneducated negro in the south who
cares the snap of his fingers about
voting He has absolutely no grasp
of political questions. He could not
tell the difference between high tar
ift and hot tamale. Free trade and
protectlCn look alike to him. Civil
of silN er are all Zulu to him. Impe-
rialism conveys about as much of an
idea to his mind as a cuneiform in
scription. When a Memphis negro
was aLl iced recently to go to Cuba
he replied: NO. sab; dem cannon
balls down dar would eat me up" 1t
would He\er occur to the uneducated
negro III thousand years to go to
the pclls, il some carpetbagger or
politician did not persuade him to do
so. He is entirely happy when he is
let alone. 1t is no more of depriva-
tion to hin to be unable to vote than
it is to chimpanzee. But what right
has Eortherner to wax indignant
"disfrancaised" negro in the south
could vote if he moved to Massachu-
setts or Ca,necticut. Any negro in
this section who is ambitious to vote

MOVE FOR DISPENSARY
THE ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE HAS
 MEETING.
Will Send Circular Inquiries to Mont. gomery County Citizens Asking for Their Views on the
 Liquor Question.

At the meeting of the Anti-Saloon and Dispensary League of Montgomery Coun. ty held last night it was unanimously re- solved to solicit the views of the people of Montgomery relating to a dispensary.
 As move toward the accomplishment of this purpose the L eague will send fold CTS with printed arguments in favor of dispensary system to the voters of Moae- gomery County with double postal car, S. asking for an expression of the views = each voter.
 The meeting was called to order at > o'clock with w. w. Pearson, PresiCe,., of the organization in the chair. /.
 The minutes of the League were r93 /, by Secretary J. H. Lakin and adopted.
 A discussion of the views of the mem bers present was invited by the Pre- dent.
 On motion of MT. Pearson the folde [; and postal card method was adopted. < small subscription was raised to defra 7 the expenses.
 MT. Pearson said that 1t would pe1 fiji the League to secure available informa- ton from the Alabama towns in which dispensaries are located. He added that the principal thing to be done was to get the public interested in the movement and to get expressions of their views
 He spoke of the situation in Montgom- cry and alluded to the condition of the Montgomery public school system.
 What is the remedy? How are we go- ing to raise the necessary funds?" asked MT Pearson. and he continued saying that the League should have the back bone and sinew' of Montgomery County citizens behind the movement.
 We want the cooperation of men who are interested In good government, 9 we want the endorsement of the labo IA class" said Mir. Pearson.
 J. H. Lakin, Secretary of the League. said it would be a good plan to solicit the views of citizens.
 What are we gaining by delay?' asked Prof. A. c. Harris, and he urged that the League begin an open canvass against open saloons.
 Perry Wilson and E. E. Forbes also participated in the discussion.
 It was resolved to invite F. w. Lull. 8 prominent lawyer and citizen of Wee tumpka to submit to the League statis- ties regarding the merits of the Wetump- ka dispensary, and to point out any weak nesses in it.
 The next meeting will probably be held in the Young Mems Christian Association building at s o'clock Tuesday night. April &.

The American League opens its season this afternoon under very bright auspices if the holiday crowds in Boston Monday argue anything. Cleveland and Detroit seem to have easily the fastest teams in the league, though St. Louis has a team that the Detroit people while in Mont gomery say somebody has got to beat for the lead. The sympathies of Montgomery fans are divided between Detroit and Cleveland, Manager Barrow and his fast team having made lots of friends during their stay here. while Bill Armour, who is managing the Clevelands, was one of the most popular members of the 1S96 Montgomery team. From the style of play that Comiskey's White. Sox put up in Montgomery, the locals beating them out In a ten-inning game, St. Louis should have a soft thing in the opening games. Of the Eastern division, not much Is known except that Clark Griffith's New Yorks are said to be not near as dan gerous as they have been touted to be-
