CoLoRED CHURCH BLOWN UP.


The blowing up Of the colored
Baptist church on Christmas night
was one Of the most dastardly and dis
graceful deeds ever committed in the
town. The colored people had ar.
ranged Christmas tree in the church
aud in quiet and orderly way were
carrying out the program Of their
celebration when some devil in human
form threw stick Of dynamite under
the church which exploded near the
pulpit, completely demolishing that
part of the building. Very for
tunately the crowd had gathered on
the other side Of the church, and no
one was near enough the explosion to
be injured except Deacon Porter and
Pastor Rumble, who were tossed to the
ceiling and were slightly hurt.
The explosion caused q panic in the
audience, cries of murder, fire, etc.,
being heard nearly all over town for
many minutes afterwards.
The crime is deeply deplored by
every good person-both white and
black-in the town, and had the
guilty party been caught, very little
mercy would have been shown.
AS yet there is no clue to the
guilty party or parties. but it is gen
orally conceded that nothing short OF
hemp would give satisfaction.

WOULD DESTROY BLIND TIGERS

Senator McLaurin introduced bill
in the senate last Thursday to tax
liquor dealers twenty five hundred dol
lars instead of twenty five dollars; and
beer dealers two thousand dollars in
stead of twenty dollars, in localities
where the state forbids the sale of
beer or liquors. Congress cannot pro-
hibit the sale of liquors in such local
tiles, for the reason that it pertains to
the police jurisdiction of the states !;
nor can congress forbid the issuance of
license at all in such localities, and
then punish for not having the license,
but if this bill becomes a law, the
blind tiger will encounter the United
States court as we'll as the state court,
for he will not pay this license. -
Brandon News.
The Clarion Ledger has before re-
ferred to Senator McLaurin's bill, and
desires to give it hearty endorsement.
This bill, if it could be passed by
congress, would do more than all other
agencies to break up blind tigers, for
few Of these lawless concerns would
pay the government license, and fewer
still would undertake to do business
without the license.
While the Clarion Ledger would be
glad to see the bill passed ss origi-
nally drafted, it is hardly probable
that the keer and whiskey interests
will allow it to go through without
amendment. They will naturally
attempt to kill the bill, but failing in
that, will seek to amend it and reduce
the amount Of license.
It is probable that the bill will pass
in some form, and any change in the
existing law would be beneficial. If
the license was even made $500. or
81, 900, the effect would be most bene-
fetal, and tend to root out and ex-
terminate the blind tiger BUSINESS.
Senator McLaurin is entitled to the
thanks Of the people of the state for
Introducing his liquor tax bill. It
would bring no revenue to the state
direct, but would indirectly prove Of
great benefit, as it would practically
drive the illicit dealer out of business.
thus keeping in the pockets of the
needy poor thousands upon thousands
Of dollars to spend for the actual nee
essaries Of life.
Every temperance organization in
the state should memorialize congress
to pass Senator McLaurin's bill. -

TAFT WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT
Secretary Of War to Decline Place on
Supreme Bench.

ashington-William H. Taft, Sec
rotary of war, will formally communi-
cate to the president in short time
that he does not desire the honor OF
an appointment to the supreme court
bench. He will send notice in time
for the president to make selection
before the fall term of the supreme
court opens in October.
Mr.. Taft's Endorsement for the pres
idency by the Ohio Republican state
convention is practically assured. He
has been considered one of the most
prominent possibilities by Ohio Re-
publicans, and in view of Speaker
Cannons reiterated declarations that
he would not be known as a candi-
date, the secretarys plan of action is
considered most significant at this
time.
The Ohio Republicans have been
quietly booming Mr.. Taft for the pres
idency for months. BY every possible
method they have been advancing his
cause, even going SO far. it is under
stood, as to solicit a public express
sion from him on the subject of his
candidacy. Mr.. Taft has fought shy
of the subject, but the latest develop
ment places him more conspicuously
before the public.

LABELS FOR MEAT PRODUCTS
Chicago Packers Confer with Federal
Officials at Washington.

Washington. - Representatives OF
the meat packing interests, prir
cipally of Chicago, were In confer.
ence Monday with Acting Secretary
Hays, DR.. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, and DR.. Melvin, chief OF
the bureau of animal industry OF the
agricultural department, about the Ia
bells for their products which they will
have to use under the meat inspection
law and pure food law.
Both the meat inspection and pure
food laws provide for the use Of labels
on articles which come under these
acts. The manufacturers desire to
make their labels fill the requirements
of both laws. The meat inspection
law will go into effect SO far as the
labels are concerned on the LIST of Oc-
tober while the pure food law will not
be effective until the 1st of next Janu-
airy.
1t was discovered at the conference
that the labels heretofore in use by
the packers would have to be changed
materially. The changes involve the
consideration of a great mass OF de-
tails, all of which had to be gone over
at the conference. 1t was the opinion
of the packers that they would be able
to prepare their labels by October !
so that they would conform to both
the meat inspection and the pure food
laws, thus avoiding the difficulty of
getting out two sets of labels.

SULLIVAN IS INDICATED
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO
DUST COMMITTEEMAN.
Nebraska Man Endorsed for the Pres
idency-State Ticket Named
BY Convention.

Peoria, Ill., - William Jennings
Bryan Endorsed as the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1908,
and Roger c. Sullivan, of Chicago, vim
dictated and the demand for his resig-
nation as national committeeman
made by Mr.. Bryan from Europe voted
down by loss delegates to $40, was
the outcome of one of the hardest
politica. battles ever fought in the
state Tuesday. From start to finish
Sullivan and his cohorts completely
dominated the state convention. From
the election CT ex-Justice Boggs as
chairman to the defeat of the resolu-
tons condemning Mr.. Sullivan there
never was moment of doubt as to
who controlled the gathering.
Incidental in its importance was the
nomination of slate of state officers.
These nominations were made just
preceding the Bryan-Sullivan fight and
were as follows:
For state treasurer-N. L. Plot
rowski.
For superintendent of public in
struction-Caroline Grote.
For trustees state rniversity-D. X.
Cameron, J. S. Cuneo, c. D. Bourland.
p The feature of the platform that al
most ended in riot was the indorse-
ment of Bryan in these words:
For president of the United States
In 1908 the Democrats of Illinois, first
and last, have but one choice, and that
man is William Jennings Bryan"
. This precipitated the one big row of
the convention.
The principal feature of the plat
form is the Endorsement of William j..
Bryan for president, in the face of the
Nebraskan's protest that he opposed
such Endorsement unless Sullivan was
busted as national committeeman.
