Commissioner Greene, of tho civil

The complaint was investigated by
the civil service commission and early
in September report was made ~
the President on it. 1t appears that
soon aftc- Captain Stuart assumed the
duties of his office he dismissed sew
eral employees ON the ground that
there was not sufficient work to- keep
them employed He reduced two divi-
sion chiefs, EIloc Morccock and Ed. n.
IIubank. to the rank Of inspectors
''lt was alleged in the complaint
that Captain Stuart had been actuatctl
by political motives, as all of the men
affected by his orders were Demo
Gratis. The President has ordered
that MOrccock and lIubank he restored
To their old rank and that when addi-
tional men are needed in the collect

We can conceive of no reason at
all why boys unemployed should
be away from their homes
throughout the day and even into
the night time. A strong argu-
ment against this growing evil in
Brookhayen was furnished last
Sunday night, when white. boy
and negro, after tarrying about
the court house, committed the
objectionable offense of throwing
"a brick into the buggy of a lady
who was watering her horse at the
trough. The heavy missile struck
her near the base of the skull and
stunned and shocked her mex
pressibly, and it was some time
before she could recover herself.
Brookhaven has produced splendid
young men and there are promis-
ing boys here today; but they are
not the boys that hang around the
streets, and hoodlumism and van
|dalisln are not d dead letter by any
means. Keep your boys off the
streets if you want to keep them
out of.mischief.

Bishop Galloway Has Good Word for
the Railroads.

While honor is properly and
generously accorded our health
authorities for their sIeepless Wig
lance and unwearied activity
and they deserve all praise-in
restraining the spread of yellow
fever in the State, we should not
fail to acknowledge the practical
cooperation and unstinted liber-
atty Of the railroads. In this, as
in other years, they have readily
complied with every order of the
State Board of Health in regulat-
ing train schedules and have
quickly responded to every call
for special service. If a spe-
cial' is needed for the quick pas
sage of an expert" to certain
point, or the conveyance of State
representatives to arrange relay
stations, in a few moments a loco
motive is on the track with a free
right Of way" In other years |
have gone with relief trains and
nurses to infected places, readily
furnished by the railroad authori-
ties, without a dollar of compen-
sation. This much in justice,
should be said of corporations
that have few advocates or apollo
gists. If it be true that they
have no souls, /" they are certain
" not without human sympathy.

COTTON TAX.
President Clark Explains What The Tax
on Cotton Is and What the
Association has Done.

Secretary Woods, of the Missis-
sippi Cotton Association, gave
out a circular from President
Clark, addressed to the ginners
and the farmers, calling their at
tention to the three cent. tax on
each bale of cotton to be levied in
the interest of the association.
The tax is SO hight as not to be
felt by the producer and yet in
the aggregate it will materially
aid the work of the association.
In giving out the circular Secre.
tary Woods asked that it be post
ed in each gin house, and he sup
posed that the ginners will find it
more practicable to include the
tax in their ginning charges and
remit monthly to the ASSOCIATION.
The circular of President Clark
follows:
THE Southern Cotton Associa-
tion has seen fit to place a Scent
tax on every bale of cotton to be
ginned this fall; and every far
mer and ginner is asked to CO.
operate with us in the collection
of this tax.
The association believes that
every honest and appreciatiye far
mer in the South will accede to
this request and furnish the mon
| ey necessary with which to carry
on the war fora just and equita-
bile price of cotton. 1t costs mon
ley to run and maintain this huge
association; and this is one of the
sources from which we propose to
derive the sinews. Every ginner
| is hereby requested to put to our
credit, and to remit monthly, the
lamount of these collections, less
the cost of sending. The farmer
should be given receipt for his
money, and the same credited on
the ginner's book, and charged to
the ginner until same is sent tc
the association headquarters in
Jackson, from which will be sent
upon receipt of remittance list
of those who have responded.
This list should be published in
the local papers to show who are
making the fight for home and up
building of our Southland. We
| do not want any Iscariots in oul
ranks-let all such keep out.
This is a righteous fight and we
do not want traitors or knockers.
Some things we have done:
Raised the price of cotton in
the face of a million and three
quarters surplus from six cents tc
ton cents and more; unearthed The
rotten condition in the Agricultu.
raj Department Of our govern.
ment, which has cost the South
millions; and BY virtue of its or
ganization is today recognized by
the gambling, speculative and
lspinner world as a controlling
power in the cotton market.
This recognition on the part
of our opponents in the very first
! year of our existence is sugges-
tive Of our power, and should be
a stinulous to support ano
strengthen our association.
We represent a righteous cause
and will win Il we have the sup
port of the men il the field.

A Former BrOokhavenite.

A copy of the st. Louis News
contains the following reference
to Mr.. Joseph Abrams, a former
resident of Brookhaven, and now
secretary and treasurer of the
Friend Commission Co., of st.
Louis:
The company is oficered by
+. +. Kollmeyer, president; j. j..
Hyland, vice-president, and Jo-
seph Abrams, secretary and treas
urer. Mr.. Kollmeyer is one of
the most popular men on the
street, and Mr.. Hyland is not on
Iy popular on the street, but in
the shipping districts. Mr..
Abrams was for twenty years con-
nected with the wholesale grocery
house of the Nicholas Scharff
Grocer Company, and is widely
known in produce circles. He is
"a thirty second degree Mason, a
member of the A. O. q. W., the
Knights and Ladies of Honor,
Royal Arcanum and half a dozen
more fraternal organizations and
has held many important Offices in
them and represented them in the
grand and supreme lodges.
This firm is rated high in the
mercantile reports, and certainly
stands high in the estimation Of
shippers and the generaltrade.
Mr.. joseph Abrams, secretary
and treasurer, was born in New
York City in 1860. He lived for
years in New Orleans and Brook
haven, Miss. He came to ST.
LOUIS in 1883 and after twenty
years as traffic manager of the
Nicholas Scharif e Sons Grocer
Company, he organized the Rob
ert Friend Commission Company J,
which was practically founded BY
Mr. Abrams. He has made a
success of it, and no one is more
popular in produce circles. The
firm is everything that could be
desired financially and ID d COM

Made Poor Showing.

The examination papers of APP
plicants for teachers license now
being graded by the State board
of examiners show an exceptional
ly heavy percentage of failures of
both white and colored teachers,
especially the latter.
Members of the board Of educa-
tion state that the county exami-
nations were not harder this year
than usual, and the conclusion
therefore follows that the appli-
cants are below the average in
proficiency.
In Lincoln county, for instance,
thirty negroes stood the first ex-
animation and only two succeeded
in passing. Only fifteen of the
50 white teachers passed the first
examination. Many Of the fail
ures were on the new study, Ele-
ments Of Agriculture, that has
been added to the curriculum.
Fifteen negroes stood a special
examination in jackson, and all
failed to secure license.
Lack of preparation was evil
IDENTIFY general among the teach
ers, and those who failed are now
doubtless 'cramming" for the
special examinations to be held in
