SOUTHERN NEGROES

A Washington special says that
Booker T. Washington has just
signally demonstrated his power
at the White House, and thereby
sickened number of other promi-
nent negro educators and poll
ticians.
The highest Office holder in the
general government from the
South is Judson w. Lyons, of
Augusta. Ca, register of the
treasury. Lyons is to be retired
to make a place for Booker
Washing tons choice of a Nor
thern negro lawyer, S. L. Will
liams, of Chicago.
Within the week w. T. Vernon,
a negro principal of a school at
Quinaro, Kan, it was announced,
had been promised the appoint
ment, but Booker got busy and
landed Williams, after having
coQueted with Vernon. Several
other prominent negroes had been
induced to come to Washington,
almost equally assured of prefer.

There is no concealment of the
disgust OF the disappointed ne
/ groes. They charge Booker
with turning down a Southern
negro tc get a Northern negro

most important streams IN the
state. They seemed to have an
abundance of money and paid
cash for every acre of land they
bought. The prices paid were
considered G Q d. The timber
lands they purchased were worth
the money they paid, and more,
too, but they certainly bought
lands that were not worth one
fourth what they paid except as
terminals. In the immediate vi
oinity OF Jackson the Foleys pur-
chased old fields that overflow
every now and then ia the spring
of the year anywhere from three
to ten feet deep. It was explain
ed al the time that the Foleys
were going to establish great
wood working plants on this land,
and that they knew they would
have to build great levees to pro-
tect their property. The people
of Jackson stood by and marvel :
ed at the sand in the craws OF the
Foleys and the Larsens but like
Brer Fox, they laid low and said
nothing. 1t was not the first
time that Northern and Western
capital had been emptied into the
laps of citizens of Jackson for
what appeared to local capitalists
to be for no cause whatever, ano
disaster was predicted, as is Gus
tomary. 1t was announced that
the Foleys were going to oullo
the greatest and the biggest lum-
Der manufacturing plants, in the
South right here in jackson,
and that appeared feasible TO
the reason that they had ac'
ouired title to thousands of acres
of the finest hardwood timbe'
