In this issue we are authorized to
announce Mr.. Harvey Miller for the
office of sheriff of this, Washington
county. Mr.. Miller is at present the
chief deputy Of Sheriff W. e. Hunt
and as such he has proved competent
and courteous official, and made many
friends throughout the county. Hav-
ing been resident of the county for
over score of years, his life is famil-
lar to every citizen, and no act in
either his private or official business
has ever, to our knowledge, been the
subject of criticism. MIr. Miller is
in every way competent to fill the
office to which he aspires, and to wiz
it he asks the support of the Demo
cratic voters of the county.

BOLD BAD BURGLARS
Made an Attempt to Enter the Dwell

Burglars made an attempt to enter
the home of Mr.. J. W. Webb on South
Broadway Tuesday night. The bur-
glars removed a lot Of putty from
around pane of glass Of one Of the
windows which is sheltered by a vine,
and we're frightened away by the
alarm raised by his little house dog.
The barking of the dog awakened
Mrs. Webb who thought nothing Of
it, and it was not known until the
removed putty was discovered that a
burglary had been attempted. The
police authorities were at once, noti-
fed and the vigilance of the entire
force is now on the lookout for
marauders.

The citizens of Jefferson county
have adopted measures for suppressing
the Sc &C slled white cappers in that
county. =, Realizing that the albor
troubles are caused entirely by labor
agents who desire to entice the neg
roes to the Delta, the citizens have
appointed COMMITTEES in each section
for the county to keep a lookout for
these agents and when captured they
are given the extreme penalty Of the
law, which is a 800 fine for each
offense. One agent has thus been
dealt with and affidavits have been
made against three others who will
be captured and brought back to the
county within a few days.

THE NEGRO oFFICEHoLDER.

The negro problem in the South
possesses fatal fascination for the
present administration. We imagine
it appears much less simple to the
president now than it did when he
first took office but the more insol-
uble it becomes the more eagerly he
attacks it. At the moment he has
aroused great indignation in all parts
of the South by appointing negro
Collector of the Port at Charleston,
s. O., and by closing the postoffice OF
the little town of Indianola, Miss,
because If the persecution Of the negro
postmistress. The objection to DR..
Crum is not that he lacks ability to
perform the duties Of the office, but
the place will bring him in contact
exclusively with white people. In
the Indianola case it is argued that
the president has cut off the entire
community from the benefits OF the
postal service because of the acts of a
comparatively fsmall numbersot people.
The administration replies that the
postmistress has held the place for
nearly eight years to the apparent
satisfaction of the towns people, and
that if the conservative element wish
es to have the Office reopened it should
take steps for the protection OF the
government representative. 1t IS
easier to give an opinion on the mer-
its,of the controversy than to main
tain it. On the other hand, the race
feeling exists and is not to be argued
away. Right or wrong, it is there,
stronger than all political affiliations,
growing in bitterness apparently
every day. The president may insist
upon placing DR.. Crum in charge OF
the custom hosue at Charleston; he
may keep the postofice at Indianola
closed for four years, but he will not
change the attitudde Of the white peo-
pie Of the South. Whether he should
consider their feelings in making APP
pointments or whether he should go
on making his appointments without
regard to situation that has no
sanction in law, is matter of his
own choice. One of the presidents
recognized the battling nature Of the
problem and avoided it with more or
less skill. Mr.. Roosevelt attacks it
fearlessly, and in q way to arous
sufficiently large amount of luminosity
to make the struggle interesting =
