Jackson, Miss, Jan. Ex-Governor
Vardaman's recommendation that the
negro porters at the state house be
discharged, and that trusty conyicts
uniformed in gray, or some other
suitable color" be- employee for labor
OF this character, is a subject of much
comment around the state house, and
the chief executive is about the only
member of the capitol commission
who favors the change proposed II
certainly meets with strenuous objec.
ton from the corps of darkies employ
ed as porters around the building
and they will be found doing some en-.
ergetic lobbying among their white
gentlemen friends" against the meas.
ure.
Several serious objections are urged
against the suggestion, among them
being the fact that the state has no
quarters in Jackson for the care of
the convicts; that the present statutes
require the convicts to be uniformed
in stripes, and it would be a display
OF favOr1tism to trusty convicts em,
ployed as pOrters to be clad in any
other kind of uniform than that re-
quired by the law; that the trusty
convicts is very unsatisfactory kind
of workman, even on the state frams,
and the law has never contemplated
their employment in this capacity
Fromaa financial standpoint, very
little would be saved by the change.
