THAT little incident between the III

Mississippi appears to have been 8
mutual stand-ofi. Gov. Logino
would not "ride in the carriage with
such a fellow as Vardeman' at The

President Roosevelt has now done
what be should have done two years
ago, appointed a white postmaster at
Indianola, Miss. His former APP
pointee, Minnie Cox, colOred, while
one OF the best OF her race, was OBJ
iectionable TO the whites, which she
knew and appreciated, and rendered
her resignation and recommended a
successor. For some reason the
President refused to accept the res
ignation and continued to pay Mrs.
Cox her salary, although she was in
another part OF the country, and the
office was closed. This thing has
been going on for two years, the col
ored people suffering more in the dis
arrangement OF postal affairs than
the whites. Now at the end OF two
years waiting on the part OF the Ad-
ministration and two years of great
inconvenience OF the people OF In
dianola, the President has appointed
Mr.. William b. Martin, one of Minnie
Cox's bondsmen and a Democrat.

Commission vs. the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad companies, Judge Fl.
c. Mcdowell in the Q. s Circuit Court at
Lynchburg has filed his opinion The
