EDITORIALS ENDORSED

The many expressions of endorse
ment and hand shakes of appreciation
We have received from the good citi-
zens of the city Oh the recent editor
ials in The Times relative to moving
the city's dumping ground of refuse
and the removing of certain class OF
the city's population from the princi-
pal streets of the city, has made us
more determined in our efforts to
bring these changes speedily about.
The demand for good resident pro-
perty in Greenville was never stronger
than today and as long as these unde-
sirable residents are allowed to re-
main as they now scattered from
one end of the town to the other
many an adjoining lot will never be
used for handsome residence lot,
adjoining houses will never be occu-
pied by desirable tenants, and many
stranger, who, with his family, de.
sires to locate here will be forced to
seek some other town where the peo-
pie keep the resident portion and !
principal streets of their city free
from all such,
There are sections where these red |
light districts could be located, away
from our principal streets, and since
it is too late fer our city council to
have spring cleaning it should in
augurate summer moving. Those
who own the houses where these
shameless people now live ought not
to experience any treble in selling or
re- renting their houses. The illname
Of the districts will vanish and be
forgotten with the departure of the
red lighters, We believe that three
fourths of the citizens will endorse
such movement if inaugurated by
The city council. Let the council act.

TIMELY LETTER FROM SHERIFF CROUCH

Greenville, Miss, June 6, 1904.
To the Vicksburg Herald, vicksburg,
Miss.
The absurdity of some of the press
reports of the tragedies at Trail Lake,
Miss, and the editorial comments on
these reports prompt me to raise my
voice in justice, first to the negroes,
second to Mr.. J. B. Williams, and
third to myself. The affair was un-
fortunate in the extreme, but in JUS
tice to the negroes in the vicinity,
want to say that they showed no un.
triendliness to the whites and the
only interest shown by them was in
aiding the officers in capturing the
guilty party or parties, as some
would have it. Mr.. Williams is nv
personal friend and feel that 1 can
with IMMUNITY and justice contradict
the supposed interview with him,
where he is quoted as saying that
this killing was the outcome Of a Sc
cret meeting of the colored people in
which they drew lots to soc who
should commit this dastardly crime.
In talking to me, Mr.. Williams
said he believed nine out of every ten
negroes on his place, which is very
large one, would take up their guns
and assist in running down the assas-
sin. This was fully VERIFIED on the
following morning when the dement,
ed man returned to the store and was
met face to face in combat with Aron
Fuller, cOlored, who CHANGED his life
TO save that of Mr.. Williams and his
clerks. Further, the correspondents
would have the people believe that
the sheriff and posse were implicated
in, or cognizant Of, the lynching at
Leland. This is as far from the truth
AS the Atlantic ocean is from the Pa
,ific. People who know me best,
know that l am opposed to lynch law

THE TAX REFORM
Movement is Rapidly Gaining in
All Parts of the State.

The fact is becoming more APP
parent with each passing day that
the oil, gas and railroad politi-
clans who desire the continuance
of their present taxless condition,
have practically given up all
hope of electing Teter for Cover
nor and are giving their atten-
ton to the State Senate.
If the State Senate is controll-
ed by tax-dodging interests that
body will be able to block all tax
legislation, and the people should
take due notice and knock down
a tax-dodger candidate wherever
he shows his head. The oil men s
association is particularly active
in this fight, This organization
includes in its membership as
many citizens of Ohio and Penn
sylvania as West Virginians, and
their only interest in the fight is
to prevent the imposition OF just
taxes. That organization is strict
ly non-partisan. 1t doesn't care
whether candidate is a Republi-
can or Democrat, so long as he
opposes tax reform. There is but
one recourse for the people, and
that is to vote for no candidate
for the State Senate unless he can
give positive evidence he is in ia
vor of tax reform.

BRIBERY CHARGES
MADE IN HAVANA

HAVANA, Aug. 6.--The Secretary of
Finance today disapproved the Havana
city budget for the coming year, say
ing the total amount of s2,S20,9S0 is
$569, 166 more than can be collected. For
the fiscal year 1902 to 1903 and to March
"a, 1904, the amount collected was only
$l,S7S,3 He rejects specific items of
5000, 1877 and 100000 for the purchase of
the Vedado waterworks and an old
cemetery in Havana on the ground that
the city has no money to buy this prop
erty.
There is much discussion in the local
papers over the Nedado waterworks and
there are accusations of wholesale brib-
cry in connection with the matter. The
Mayor and Civil Governor are accused
by innuendo of being mixed up in some
crooked work. Some newspapers are
also accused of having an interest in
the purchase.
