THE CLANSMAN.'

While the play was not as bolster

was none the less enjoyed, for the
old, old story of the Reconstruction
period is still fresh in the minds of
the Southern youth and never fails
to arouse deep sentiment of repul-
sion.

doubt had excellent intentions when
he dramatized the "Clansman;" but

way satisfactory and we'll received by

ADIEUi HAGENBECK

The great-featured animal show

along with it many unjustly received

excellent and in a class by them
selves; the Flying Jordans. with their

THE WRONG KIND
OF PROTECTION

Down at Whitecastle. La, the ne
groes have a Colored Citizens Pro
tective League which has for its OBJ
ject the prevention Of the black
crime A few days ago a black man
insulted a young lady of that town.
He was arrested and the town Off
GERS notified the officers OF the black
league These officers promised to
give the insuter good thrashing at
a certain hour, but failed to keep
their promise.
The white citizens became incensed
at this laxity and took the matter in
to their own hands, strapped the pri-
soner across a barrel, gave him
sound thrashing and ordered him to
leave town and never return.
The above account gives a fairly
good idea OF what kind of protection
the protective leagues guarantee
protection for the criminal. We are
gratiied to note that the whites
waited for no further promise from
the black league. They called the
bluff and set an example not only to
the black league of their own city,
but to protective leagues" elsewhere
that misguided protection will not be
tolerated
This incident will wake up other
protective leagues" and serve warn
IN To them that there * To he no
clubbing or evasion and that pun
ishment will follow and follow swift
ly.
This neglect of duty on the par'
OF the colored league Of Whitecastle
will lessen the faith OF the whites
everywhere in the sincerity Of the
outward promises and determination
of Colored Citizens Protective Lea
CUES to rid their race of such crimes
and the betterment of their morals.

In our announcement column to-

Ter. candidate for the office of Chan
Gerry Clerk. Mr. Miller came to
Washington County from the State
of Kentucky, Ill the year 1888, and
located at Hollandale, Miss, where
he entered the mercantile business.
He continued in this business until
1895, when he closed it out to accept
a position in the Chancery Clerk S
office in this city. This position he
has filled with both. credit and honor
and feels that with his knowledge or
the office, since Mr.. Hood, the pres
ent incumbent, has decided not to
stand for reelection, that he is not
only deserving the support of the
people but can better fill it than any
new man

HIS WILL BE DONE
THE GOV. FLEET MOVED

The removal of the Government
Fleet. from Greenville, the proper
place for it. considering the protec-
ton OF both districts. looks to be a
piece OF spite work on the part of
the Government engineer We dare
say there is not an engineer in the
district who would have recommend
ed such a move and we were sur
prised to see the recommendation of
this one accepted and approved by
the members of the River Commits
sion who we'll know the need of this
fleet in both this and the upper dis
trict in times OF high water and cav
ing banks.
We dare say that the city of Vicks-
burg is interested very little in the
fleets being brought there and as far
as she was concerned as a city, would
gladly have allowed it to remain at
! Greenville where it could be used in
time of need, to protect the lower
end of the Delta, where her banks
vested in the planting interests.

with their Congressman and if neces-
sary, carry the fight to the War De

WHAT TO EXPECT.
"Her Own Way"

1t fell to the lot of Miss Maxine
Elliott the acknowledged peer Of all
brunettes on the stage, to present for
the first time. at the Garrick Theatre,
New York, that delightful Fitch COM
edy which has since graced the
American stage.
There are no startling features but
to the contrary. plain old-fashloned
comedy mingled with a degree OF
pathos that at once appeals to your
better self.
Miss Sylvia Lynden, who takes the
part Of Georgiana this season was Sc
lected from among twenty-seven ap-
plicants. and was asked by the man
agement if she did not feel hest
fancy in undertaking the part that had
become so we'll identified with Miss
Elliott Her reply was quite charac-
teristic, she said:
Il shall not play the part as II has
ever been played before, but in my
own way 1t is part that appeals to
ME peculiarly; the heart interest is
strong, and there is in it everything
that make life attractive Georgiana
Carey is a good woman; woman it
would be pleasure to meet any
where, and I am glad of the oppor-
tunity to portray her upon the stage.
In the first act, the children's party
gives a fine opportunity for juvenile
acting and has proven quite a novelty.
Clyde Fitch has written many
plays; some good, some bad; but
when he penned Her Own Way,
he was evidently we'll pleased with
life.

STORY Told by StoWaWay
to immigration Officials.
After Being ShipWrecked, Picked
Up and Carried TO France.
Steals Passage to America b ssash for
Brothers and Must hs Depufild.

New York. Sept. II. Charles Lemaire,
French fishermen and stowaway on
the steamer La Bretagne, which arriv-
ed yesterday, told an interesting tale
of the sea today to the immigration
officials who have decided that he must
be deported
Lemaire, with three brothers. Henri,
Jean and Rene, were on a fishing trip
on the Newfoundland banks. when, on
May 20 in a fog, they were run down
by an unknown liner. The brothers
chung to the wreckage of the smack
till May %. when a liner, hearing the
shouts of the brothers, picked up Jean,
Henri and Rene, but owing to the fog.
did not see Charles, who was too weak
to shout.
Charles was tied to+a mast, and the
next he remembered was awakening on
French ship bound for France. The
crew told him that he had been picked
up on May "a. off the banks, in a de-
lirous condition. He was landed at
Boulosne. He had no money. He was
sure the vessel that picked up his three
brothers landed them in the United
States and he wanted to come here and
search for them. He finally managed
10 stow himself away on the La Brc-
tagne. but the law here is inexorable
and Lemaire will have to go back to
France without the desired chance TO
look for his brothers.
