SOUTHERN NEGRO ABUSED
Not Allowed to Work in Postoffice at
Yazoo, Miss,

Washington April IN. j. Horns
by, a young negro, who twice passed
civil service examination and twice has
been appointed to clerkships at the
postofiice at Yazoo, Miss, has COM
planned at the White House that he is
prevented from holding his position by
reason of the brutality of white citizens
of YaZoo.
Hornsby was presented at the White
House by Rev. L. S. Caruthers, but the
president was unable to take up the
case because practically all that re-
mains of his time before leaving on his
western trip will be filled with engage
ments.
The case was stated to Secretary
Loeb and Hornsby was referred to the
civil service commission.
According to the negro's story he en-
tered upon his duties at the Yazoo
postoftice, whereupon certain white
patrons of the office thrashed him sew
eral times when he was caught going
to and from his duties. This mistreat-
ment resulted in the resignation of
Hornsby, but he took the examination
for vacancy that was created by his
own resignation. Others who took the
examination were two negroes, one
negresS and two white men. Hornsby
passed the best examination and again
was appointed. While returning from
jackson, Miss. where his bond was
fixed up, Hornsby noticed a gathering
of white people near the train in the
Yazoo railroad yards. He left the train
and attempted to escape. but was over
taken and carried off to an oil MILL
where some counseled lynching and
others whipping. Hornsby agreed to
write out his resignation and leave
4azoo never to return. The resignation
was sent to Washington and Hornsby
followed it. He is seeking relief, but is
not sure of the character of the relief
he wants. He says he is afraid to re-
turn to YaZOo
