That was quite a setback for Gov
ernor Vardaman, of Mississippi, when
the legislature passed over his veto the
bill making an appropriation out of
the states general fund for the negro
normal school at Holly Springs. The
main plank in the platform on which
he was elected was that only taxes
derived from negro property and polls
should be applied to education of
members Of that race. At the first
opportunity the governor is given to
carry out his pet scheme he is baked

RAID ON THE GAMBLING ROOMS

The excitement into which our city
was thrown asst Tuesday when 1t
became known that the police had raid
ed our gambling rooms n arrested

successful in their raids. At n rate
the cases were such that all the men

gambling joints in the city than there
were this time last week
The Messenger is not going to assume
the functions of judge and jury in the
eases OF these men and convict them
and pass sentence upon them. Wheth-
er they are guilty or not will depend.
upon the finding of the jurors which
try their cases. This much we do say,
though; that there have been gambling
houses in this city which should have
been broken up long ago., and We con-
graduate Mayor Springer on his sue
cessful closing Of four of them Fou
have most assuredly been closed;
whether the men charged with run
ming them are guilty or not is another
question. The houses were being run
by somebody and the mayor has closet
them. There can be no doubt about
that. Mayor Springer did his work
well The raids were well planned and
well carried u We hope the mayor
will not let the matter rest here. He

Mayor Springer should nave the

him to do his duty, as it knows he will,
