Imposing ON white People.

Editor The Advertiser:
Notwithstanding the courageous at
utude Of Alderman Sullivan in the City
Council Monday night, as shown by
your admirable report of the meeting
1t seems that the other Alderman side
tracked his proposition to force the
Montgomery Street Railway TO provide
accommodations for white persons on
its lines.
I say the Council "sidetracked" the
Alderman because II referred his reso-
luton to a committee, without having
the backbone to adopt 1t. In the light
of recent events-it having taken the
Councils Committee six months to pre-
pare an ordinance to redistrict the
wards of the city-the resolution of AL
derman Sullivan will probably remain
with the Committee on Franchises and
Privileges until the summer season is
over and the street railway has reaped
its harvest from the negroes.
am charitable enough to believe
that the Aldermen do not fully under
stand the outrageous abuses of the
white citizens OF southwestern Mont
gomery, practiced daily by the street
car company in Its greed for negro
fares. No provision whatever is made
for white passengers and the negroes
are taking an insolent advantage of
their position.
and act quickly. as advised by Alder
man Sullivan has intensified an already
unbearable condition which sooner or
later viii result In yioienee-yioience
gomery would be directly responsible.
l have been informed that an official
of the street railway said his company
put a special car for white people on
the Washington Park line last Sunday
and its receipts for the day were rs
cents, consequently the special car
would not be run again. Suppose its
receipts had been nothing. The Mont
gomery Street Railway uses franchises
owned by the white people of Mont
gomery that are worth 81 zoo, 900. They
are required by their charter to provide
adequate accommodations for the pub
lie They are not doing 1t. They are

class of our citizens by abusing their
If the Council may grant them fran
chises, certainly the Council may take
franchises from them.

SI.ANDERING HIS SECTION.


The good old State of Virginia has
Just cause for a libel suit against
preacher up in Attleboro. Mass, who
claims that he is a Virginian. In a re-
cent address before his congregation he
made this remarkable statement:
.SPhe fact is that there were o few
who believed larger wealth and fame
dwelt for them In the disruption OF the
Union, and they determined IN 1891 tnat
lion. Those few men, from their COM
mittee room in Washington, headed by
Jefferson Davis. controlled the press,
the military of the South and the poll
tieians, and when the State conventions
met they voted as obediently to secede
when telegfams were received from
that committee room as does any Tam
headquarters"
1t would be difficult for man to miss
the truth further and oftener than this
Mr. Mitchell did in making the above
statements. To charge that secession
was fomented and decided on by few
Southern men in Washington, and that
the Southern States seeded on orders
sent by kilograms is such a wide depar-
ture from the truth of history that the
man Is almost sAtitleu u the oIeuit Ut
being a genius. for 1t requires a kind
of genius in a man to enable him to
fabricate such stories. The plain
meaning of his words is that the South
ern people had no heart in the contest,
but we agree with The Richmond News
Leader that the fact that more than
two-thirds of the men of military age

1t is pleasant to note that such a
strong and loyal Republican paper
as The Buffalo News finds no defence
for Governor Pennypacker's open vio-

in the appointment of Knox. 1t speaks
of the efforts of The Philadelphia
Press to defend the Governor as "a
plea so weak as to discredit even the

no defence for the act. and no reason

A Big SandYBOy.

This county has the distinction
of having furnished the youngest
railway telegraph operator in the
central states, II not In the entire
U. S. The young man who has
earned this distinction is Edgar
Austin, son OF the railroad agent Of
the G. & 0. r. r.. at Fuller.
Last January Edgar, together
with three or four young men OF
this county, left Big Sandy for Gin.
clnnali to attend the Morse School
OF Telegraphy. Young Austin, who
is but II years Of age, recently
graduated from the institution
named, received diploma and
earned the highest endorsements
OF the faculty by his studiousness
and proficiency. He is the young
est graduate ever turned out by
the Morse School, and they claim
he is the youngest operator IN
America, and doubtless they know
Tho C. 4 o. Ry. has "cut in" tele'
graph wires to the Office at Fuller
where Edgar will hold the posi-
ton Of operator under his father
who is agent. We take a just
pride in the accomplishments Of
this boy and only wish there were
more like him, with ambitions and
qualifications to better their con-
dItions 40 early In life.

Reception.

First IN point Of beauty, season.
abIeness and enjoyment was the
delightful reception given last FRI
day evening by Mrs. Mary Burns
Horton. An ideal hostess; an ideal
night; refreshments the most ex-
quIslte, and guests from among
the best and most cultured, here
was combination which was ire.
sistible. The beautiful Burns place
was brilliant within from hall 10
roof, and the spacious grounds
were bathed In the mellow light OF
myriads OF Chinese lanterns.
Inside the spacious rooms and
on the wide verandas were scores
OF handsome women and pretty
girls in regulation attire, and for
them the more somber garb OF doz-
ems OF men formed an appropriate
background. Flowers exhaled their
exquisite aroma everywhere, and
Emusic with Its voluptuous swell"
pulsed on the balmy summer air.
And this music was not OF the
cheaper sort, either. Songs by
those who could sing and piano
solos by women who could play de-
lighted the guests, and a talented
young lad from Cincinnati, Master
Courtlandt Dalton, also rendered
several piano pieces very well In
deed.
In the wide hall was pretty
table, aud on that table was a crys-
tai bowl, and In said bowl was an
icy connection Of, well, it's hard to
say what. Let's call 1t the true
Ambrosla-the drink OF the gods.
This was dispensed with unstinted
hand, and was but the first course,
so TO speak, OF what came after.
This was such ices and such cake
as have made Mrs. Horton famous,
and she was certainly herself In
the preparation OF these delicious
appeals to the inner man-and
woman. All in all it was a most
delightful occasion, one long to be
remem bered by all who were SO
fortunate as to be present.
The out-oi-town people there
were Miss Mayme Wellman, Cat

cago; Miss Emma johnson, Iron
