Not, Two of a Kind.

The recent remOval of the Federal
troops from Fort Brown, Texas: S
discussed as a like action 70 the clos
ing of the pOStOfice at IndiaOla, Miss.
The two cases do not stike us as at
all alike. At the I%ndianOla the white
citizens made trouble with Minnie Cox,
the colOred pOstmaster-nOt that she
was not well-behaved as We remen-
Der it; not that the duties of the Of
flee were not properly discharged, but
only because the postmaster was q
negress. This being an offence to the
sentiment of the community. such an
appointment ought never to have been
made. but it was neither unlawful nor
unprecedented. In times past there
have been a number Of negro post
masters in North Carolina, for in
stance; there are now negro mail car
riers and postal clerks, n zone Of
them was ever mObbed. In the cir
cumstance we were never able to share
the general Indignation against The
president for closing the lpdianoIa
postoffice nOr blame him for sending
the people of the community elsewhere
for their mail. The Brownsville case
is of quite another kind. Hero i1solent
negro soldiers behaved outragecusly
toward white citizens OF the town,
without p~rovocation SO fas as has ap-
peared, and a riot naturally resulted.
According to the reading Of the stories
the negroes were wholly 20 blame, vet
the president arbitrarily refused 10 re-
place them with white troops, removed
the negroes but dismantled the fort.
leaving exposed a frontier which had
always been protected. His action was
wrong and i~ndefensible. The similar
ity between this case and that of In
dianola is too obscure for US to see

THE OLD CORN MILL
An Attractive and Picturesque Survi-
val of the Days That are No More

(By Charles Frederick S~tansbury.)
One of the most quaint, soothing
and pleasant of the "reminiscences of
the old south will take practical form
at the jamestown exposition in the old
fashioned water mill that grinds the
corn from the meal Of which delicious

The mill will be an exact reproduce
ton Of the alluring old time overshot

and picturesque and pleasant sur
r~oundings so dear to the heart Of
childhood and not without great at
traction for children Of an older
growth.
The ole corn mill at the exposition
will present to the visitor a very nat
ural and attractive appearance.
Weather worn and covered with COO
looking moss. it will be a suitable set
ting for the great wheel with its green
dripping blades. Within the mill the
visitor will see the corn ground in the
old primitive way and the sweet and
fragrant meal resulting is ready for
consumption. Passing in,o a home
like apartment adjoining the mill. the
visitor will be invited to sit down and
partake of old fashioned southern
corn cakes.
\ wholesome looking black Nam
my of the quaint n goodly type that
existed "befo de wah.' in spotless
apron and cap will cook and serve the
appetizing cakes with pure country
butter and maple syrup to make the
combination perfect.
This delightful old mill with its
pleasant surroundings and the fond
memories it will recall. is sure to prove
to be one of the popular features of
the exposition where there will he
many such old time attractions To re-
call to the visitor the sweet reminis-
censes of the days that are no more.

they will meet in conjunction with the

far there is only one candidate in the
field, Hon. George u. Bellamy, Of

on one candidate in the primary, Mr..

REGISTRATION SMALL.
If no greater interest is shown on
election day than has been demon
strated during the past week, the time
that the registration books have been
open, a small vote will be pOlled. And
still far more interest is shown than
last year but at that time there was
M CLNJlNNJllN IO SoI1CSoN ~ LII vi GIlC
offices, the only fight being on the leg
islative ticket. This year there are
several candidats out for nearly every
office in the county and all of them
and their friends are hard at work.
But a few more days and the result
will be known, the date for the pri-
mary on Wednesday. Each night now
some of the candidates have a big
rally, the Cowan forces met last night
at Delgado and several speeches were
made. There has never been a time
before in this county when so many
candidates were voted for. In addition
to the regular county offices, such as
sheriff, clerk of the court, register OF
deeds and coroner, the people will vote
for commissioners and twenty-five
magistrates. There will be thousands
of ballots strewn around this city or
the day of the primary for each candi'
rate is having about 10000 printed
and some of them have twice this
many. Some time since it was thought
that all interest would cease with The
primary but not until next Saturday
will be over for on that date tht
senatorial convention will be held.
Every Indication points to a number
OF challenges being made as to regis
hrations and many of these will be il
regard to pole tax not being made.

drawn out ii was wet. The rush of
water could be heard when the men
put their ears to the hole Water was
pumped out. and with it came some
