GRANVILLE MARTIN ON THE

ends?
Have to Depend on White Man to Re.
veal Race Oppression in Alabama.
Fifteen years you have heard some
thing Of the political civic race rela-
tion In the South through this
preacher of peace" But you never
heard Of the hell worse than death
prevailing even in his own state OF
Alabama, till Joseph Manning, a white
man, gives you the naked truth! Min
listers Of New York, which do you be-
lieve, the man whose statement cor
roborates every vile thing reported
from there or this highly paid mes.
senger Of peace?
The renlentless war upon every.
thing and every man who attempts to
use his people, set by W. r. Hearst,
is worthy of ministerial emulation,
/ have little patience and less faith
liz the minister who, although COM
missioned to preach Christ and Him
cruicified, refuses to preach against
mob violence and the like because he
don't think preachers should dabble
into politics." What more does sin. sa-
tan, and the mob want of you? You
say II is the souls, not the bodies of
men, about which l am chiefly con-
cerned. 1t should be no less one than
the other. Men are saved or lost &C
cording as they treat each other in
life. So it is your solemn duty to
boldly attack any and all manner of
sin from whatever source, no matter
how gigantic!
Atlanta Massacre But First of Many.
A Southern politician who accom-
panied Mr.. Bryan on his late Southern
tour said there are fifty other South
en cities ready at any minute to do
the same thing that was done the
other day in Atlanta. Think of it.
Northern ministers. Your Southern
brothers are not free to expose this
red handed plot deliberately and long
since planned! Will you? In the
name of Jesus Christ and your COM
mission, will you?
Your brother in the Lord and yours
for oppressed humanity.

Seeks Protection .

A strange man. giving his name
as Jas. Flynn, applied to Marsha
Latham at Troy few days ago fol
protection. He stated that he was
from Minnesota, but that his mem
DRY had become treacherous. The
events transporting from the time
he left Minnesota until he reached
the Mississippi River on the Arkan-
sas side were all blank to him.
He remembered crossing the river,
but nothing more. The stranger
could give no information concern
ing his past or his family and he
applied to the officer for protection.
for the reason, he said. that he was
fearful Of doing harm to himself
or others.
Mr.. Latham brought the man to
Union City and turned him over to
Sheriff Chiles and he is now con-
fined in Jail.

The ladies of the Baptist Church
realized about fourteen dollars from
their concert and supper in the
Heppner building Wednesday night.
The program as published last week
proved to be very interesting. Mr..
Miller's address was thoroughly APP
preciated and equally so was Miss
Miller's reading. She is a very tall
ented young lady and is gifted also
with the tact OF knowing how to
please her audience. Other nice
numbers were given by the orches-
ira, Miss Anna Laurie Griffin, Mr..
Lee Garth, Miss Dixon Sanding,
and Miss Martha Hefley. After this
came the refreshments. The room
was prettily decorated and lllumi-
mated, the work being done by the
ladies with the assistance of Mr..

ROAD EXPERIMENTING

In accordance with suggestion
made by Mayor Juo. T. Walker, of
this city, and approved by Judge
Lawson, Mr.. Brighton, OF Illinois,
was in the city Wednesday to con-
fer with these gentlemen concerning
supply of crushed rock for making
an experiment on the public roads
Mr.. Walker was recently in CORE
spondence with Mr.. Lancaster at
Jackson, civil engineer and super
intendent of the Jackson street i'm
provements, the result of which
was the receipt of information that
the Government would manage and
furnish the steam roller and all the
necessary machinery tree of cost for
making an experiment on our pub
lie roads. 1t is understood that the
Government will grade one mile of
road, furnishing road managers
and machinery'free of cost to any
county which will furnish the gray
ell or rock suitable for that purpose
and the help.
When the County Court meets in
April the cost of crushed rock is to
be furnished and Mr.. Lancaster
will be present to explain the whole
matter. Mr.. Lancaster superln-
tended the construction OF the new
roads leading out from Jackson and
has all the experience and informa-
ton necessary to lay the plans be.
fore the court in a plain and COM
prehensive way The Jackson
roads were recently investigated by
some OF our citizens who attended
the Farmers Institute, and they re.
turned highly enthusiastic over
what they saw.
There is no way to make cor
rect estimate of the advantages OF
good roads, and it seems to us that
since the Government is taking so
much interest in this question it
would oe we'll for the County Court
to give their consent at least to an
experiment. The cost would be
nominal and it would furnish us
with a correct idea of the cost and
the proper way to proceed with the
work

Burglars at Work.

Last Tuesday night The Dietzels
I hardware store was entered by
! burglars and when the theft was
discovered Friday morning a
case of razors and $l6 so in money
were missing. The money consist
ed of receipts between 5 o'clock p,
m. and closing time. There were
about a dozen and half of razors
ranging in value from 81. so to SIS. CO..
They were marked "Gray-Dudley
Hardware Company Herman
Dletzel" and the BARRIERS Pet. "
What puzzled the merchants was
the absence of any clue to the theft.
The house was evidently entered
with the use of keys.
This burglary and successful es-
cape seems to have led them or 9TH
ers into the same kind of work.
An attack was made again on this
store Monday night. This time a
brick was thrown through one OF
the show windows and couple of
valuable rifles taken, one Savage
and the other Winchester, each
p calibre. Again the rascals made
their escape. They would probably
have entered through the door as
before, b the locks h been
changed. Officer Tom Brown was
across town at the railroad station,
and noticing the arc light on First
street near Dietzels go out started
Immediately for the store. 1t was
about O'Clock a. m. and when
he arrived found the broken win
dow and the brick lying in the aper-
ture. The burglars, however, had
fled and he was too late to find any
clue to the direction they had taken.
The Dietzels promptly offered a
reward of 500, and placed card
bearing this notice upon the win
dow, for the capture OF the bur-
glars. 1t is presumed that this
amount will be sufficient to uncover
their hauuts a md bring them to
Justice.

Mexico were they to study the
character and condition of
trade in our country" said Wal
ter E. Grevel of Mexico City.
"rhe main trouble with the
slow sale of American merchan
disc in Mexico is the fact that
the merchants and mauufac.
lures demand that payment for
their goods be sent upon the
receipt of the bill tor the same,
and this bill arrives a month in
advance oil the goods. OF
course, our merchants do not
favor the idea of paying for
goods before receiving them.

merchants are liberal in giving
time limits as high as six
months. and, as a consequence,
enjoy a good portion Of our
