LAST NEGRO IN CONGRESS.
washington Times.)


The man who will probably be
pointed to for many years to come
as the last negro in congress is Geo.
II. White of Tarboro, N. c., who, al,
ter serving two terms, retired at the
end of the Fifty-sixth congress to be
succeeded by a white Democrat, and
the constitution of the state has
since made it impossible for man
of his color to be elected, at least
not until so far in the future that II
is useless to consider it. South Car
DINA, Alabama. Mississippi and Lou
isiana have likewise placed congress
sional honors beyond the reach of the
black man, while in the other south
ern states the opportunity which he
has is no more favorable. While In
nearly every house since the wal
there has been one or more negroes
1t may be noted in this connection
that but two negroes ever sat In
the senate, and both were from Mis-
sissippi-Bruce and Revells.

THREE GREAT SALES AT HEN
NESSY'S.

Again the big store puts up a large
banner in front of its mammoth store
announcing the commencement OF a
ten days preinventory sale. The
The twenty days sale which closed
on Christmas was the greatest sale
or opportunity offered to the public
to get good goods for a little money.
AS the twenty days special sale sur
passed that of the green ticket sale
of November, so will this preinven-
tory sale, which is now on, exceed
for bargains the twenty days sale
which closed Christmas eve. 25 per
cent off everything in stock except
a few lines upon which the prices
must be maintained as per agree
ment with the makers.
The things excepted are the cele-
brated Knox hat, which is sold at one
price the world over; E. & w. goods,
and a few other lines. Now Is your
time before they close their inven-
tory to get good, reliable goods at

BADLY DEMoRAlIZED.
Remnant Of Moorish Imperial Army
Arrives at Fee.

London, Dec. 31.-The Tangier cor
respondent of the Times says that the
remains of the routed imperial army
returned to Fee in a demoralized con.
dition. The sultan has told a deputa
tion of Fee merchants that he is pre-
pared to die in defense Of the town.
The Moors are confident, continues
the correspondent, after what passed
between Menebhi, who visited London
last year as Morocco's ambassador,
and Foreign Secretary Lansdowne,
that in case of necessity Great Britain
cannot refuse to give the sultan armed
assistance. 1t is impossible to dis
abuse them of this idea. as they lay
the entire responsibility for the pres.
ent rebellion at Great Britain's door
for fostering European ideas and intro
ducing Christians into the Moorish
court

CAUSES MUCH CRITICISM.
British Admiral Allows a Dutch Ship
to Enter Venezuelan Port.

Caracas, Monday, Dec. 29.-United
States Minister Bowen has received
information that the Dutch steamer
Prins Mauritz has entered Venezuelan
ports blockaded by the British fleet
and discharged her cargo there. Spe-
cial permission for the Dutch steamer
to do this was obtained from Commo-
dore Montgomerie of the British
cruiser Charybdis. The Italian cruiser
Giovanni Bausan ordered the Prins
Mauritz away from port. but Com
modore Montgomerie directed that she
continue to discharge her cargo. In
Caracas this is held to be discrimina.
ton against American steamers, and
the British commodore's action has
been criticized.

sures castro's Continuance in Power.
Caracas, Monday. Dec. 29.-Barquis-
imeto. capital OF the state of Lara,
which for some time past has been in
the possession of the Venezuelan reyo-
lutionists, has been recaptured by gov
eminent forces. The towns OF San
Carlos and Tinaquillo have also been
reoccupied by the government.
The revolutionists at Barquisimeto
were under the command of Generals
Solagnie and Penaloza. They evacu-
ated the town after losing III men
killed and 1926 wounded.
There was hard fighting In The
streets and suburbs of Barquisimeto
for two days. The government forces
were commanded by General Cerferino
Castillo.
II now transpires that President
Castro's recent visit to La Victoria
was not of social nature, as reported
here, but for the purpose of conducting
personally by telegraph the operations
of his forces at Barquisimeto. This
victory for the government appears to
be a direct result of the presidents
initiative. 1t has been a most severe
blow for the revolutionists.

ELECTED BY JOINT SESSION TO

 For the placs.

Judge J. J. Mayfield of Tuscaloosa was <yesterday in joint session of the House and Senate, elected commissioner to cod ify the laws of Alabama. The election was unanimous no other name being presented.
 Under the constitutional provision creating the place 1t is prescribed that the commissioner shall receive $10.000 for the work which must be done in three years.
 Judge Mayheld Is one of the best known lawyers of Alabama. He is the author of "Mayfield Digest" In the line of legal work called for in codifying the laws, Judge Mayfield has achieved a Statewide reputation.
 The joint session of the House and Senate was held at o'clock after the morning work of the two houses had been completed. The two law making bodies were called to order by Lieuten- ant Governor Cunningham. He said that the joint session was held to elect a commissioner to codify the laws of the State in accordance with a joint resolu- ton of the two houses.
 The fact that a quorum of both houses was ascertained by roll call, and Sena- tor Goldsby of Mobile placed in nomi- nation Judge J. J. Mayfield of T,ssca- loosa, whom, he said, all knew to be eminently qualified for the duties of the place.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

The Text-Book Commission Books
 to Be Used.
 The public schools in Montgomery open today and for the first time in their his tory books selected by State Commis- sion will be used. The pupils will learn today what they are to use and will pur- chase accordingly. Under certain condi- tions old books identical with the new ones can be used. The Birmingham Age Herald of yesterday contained the follow ing interesting article:
 At a called meeting of the Board of Education held yesterday afternoon, the following resolution was adopted:
 ''Be it resolved that the superintendent of pubic schools be instructed to carry out the ruling the State Text Book Com- mission with regard to the text book to be used in the Birmingham public schools and that such books bear the official stamp according to the interpre- tation of the law made by the State Superintendent of Education"
 The meeting was called by Mayor Dren- nen. upon the request of the Rev. pr. A. J. Dickinson, who recently bought books for his children from an independent dealer and whose children were sent home from school because the books did not bear the official stamp of the local de- pository. In every other respect the books were identical with those sold by the depositary. President A. O. Lane of the Board of Education has been retained as attorney by Dr. Dickinson and J. M. Dewberry, and hence he was disqualified from taking part in the meeting as a member of the board
 There were present at the meeting May or Drennen, M. J. Greggs, H. B. Gray, John L. Parker. Samuel Ullman, mem- oers Of the board, County Superintendent

of Education I. W. McAdory, !. M. Dew berry, A. B. Loveman, Dr. A. T. Dickin- son and A. O. Lane.
 The contention of MT. Lane was that section i5 of the new law Is capable of being interpreted to apply only to the ap- pointed agents of the text box commits sion. Tn other words the provision that books shall bear the official stamp can be interpreted to mean that the books sold from the Repositories must bear the official stamp. He, as well as Dr. Diclin- son and Mir. Dewbcrry, asked that the board go on record as accepting one in- depreciation of 1t no matter which 1t be.
 It was stated that they wished to bring friendly suit to test the measure and find just what that provision does mean. The members of the board discussed the matter fully and during the discussion many of them said that they had not been in favor of the law in the first place. but they believed that since it had been en- acted every effort should be made to en- force it.
 Mayor Drennen offered the followins substitute resolution to that introduced by Member Gray, but 1t was voted down.
 Resolved, That the superintendent of public schools be instructed to use all books similar to those recommended by the State Text Book Commission. wheth-
  not"
 During the discussion 1t was brought out that a saving of at least IA per cent to the consumers is made by the new law
 Mir. Lane said that when Mir Dewberry retained him he had taken pains to draw up an opinion on the matter and that Il was his belief that the reference to the stamps does not apply to anyone but the contractor. He said that where there was tendency to give one man a monopoly in such matters the interpretation of the law was always very liberal to the ag- grieved party and he gave 1t as his opin- ion that the only way to settle the matter finally was to go into the courts with it.
 Short statements were made by every one present and after the adoption Of the resolution by which the board placed it. self on record as wishing to carry out the law according to the interpretation of Stats Superintendent of Education HNl, the board adjourned.
