Beaumont, Texas, June 19-
To avert the lynching of two ne

with an indecent proposal a
white lady passenger on the Tex

porters from the rapidly moving

and jailed at Marshall. A mob
formed and only the presence of
the militia prevented lynch

Last Wednesday evening at
nine-ffteen o'clock, in the pres
ence of a few intimate friends,
Miss Grace Wood and Mr.. Sam
Stewart were quietly married at
the residence of the bride's sister
Miss Allie Wood. The pretty
ceremony was performed by Rev.
O. W. zwingle; the attendants
were Misses Bloomie Lawley and
Allie Wood.
This wedding is the culmina-
ton of a very pretty romance
which began three years ago,
when the groom was a student
of the A. and NJ. College and the
bride a school girl living in
Stark vile with her parents.
The bride is a brunette of un-
usual charm and beauty, while
the groom, though a native OF
Mississippi. is a prominent young
business man of Oklahoma.
For the present Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart will make this city their
home, where they have mad e
many friends who wish them
continued happiness.

BAPTIST CHURCH
Work Of Dem0IishIng Old
Building Begun.

The work of taking down this
venerable building is rapidly
progressing under the manag-
.ment Of Mr.. w. N. Puckett and
f. n. Jacobs, former having the
contract to take down the build
ing and the latter to remove the
gas, and electric fixtures, down
pipes, guttering, etc. The church
will save two months by having
the building taken down at this
time, so the architect, Mr.. Hunt,
informs the building committee.
They hope by this to finish the
church By next January. The
spire and bell have been taken
down and Pitcher & Sons, of
Louisville, Ky, have taken
down the organ. The fine mem
orial windows have been taken
out without injury.
It's said by experts that the
life OF q brick il only sixty years

of the Sunday school room was

CAR WRECKED
Demolished By Switch Engine
On College Street.

Thursday afternoon street car
No. 5, in charge of Conductor
Scott n d Mortorman Bedford
was struck by q Southern rail
way switch engine at the College
street crossing and practically
demolished. The conductor had
tagged the street car for the
crossing but the current gave
out just as it went upon the rail-
way track. The switch engine
was a block away and the elk or
seven passengers had time to
get off the car before it was hit.
The switch engine crew seeing
the imminent danger, also leap
ed from the engine. The force
of the blow knocked the trucks
from under the oil tank. The
street car went over into ditch.
This is a very dangerous cross
ing and three people have been
killed there.
The street car people claim
that the switch engine was suffi-
ciently far away to have stopped,
thus averting what might have
been an exceedingly serious ac-
cident.

In Doubt.

A certain young man who, ac-
cording to all the accepted no
tons, should be very happy at
this time, was found by friend
the other day with a somewhat
troubled look upon his face, says
Harper's Weekly.
Whats the matter, old man?''
Haven't had a tilt. have you?"
the friend inquired.
"N.no." was the reply, ac-
eompanied by a sigh. ''Fact is,
he continued, in burst of con-
idence. i've been thinking over
a little remark Alice made last
night.
"Oh. perhaps you misunder-
stood" +" the friend suggested en-
oouragipgly.
Il hope So" was the reply.
You see, we were talking Of
well how things would be, you
know, and Alice said:
"And won't it be just too
sweet: you will come home all
tired out from your hard days
work, and hold me on your lap
for hours, end read to me, and
drive all my cares away, and
dry my tears, and rub my head
-and il will be just like a novel. !"

was proposed as remedy for
the limited seating capacity of
the old building. The church
has added $50 members since
January and seats are necessary
for the occupancy of about 800
college girls nine months in the
college session. The roof
Of the building was found to be
in bad condition and a new
one would have been necessary
soon.
The Baptists are very grateful
to the Presbyterians who have
generously rendered their house
pending the erection of the Bsp-
tist church and in case services

ed the organ and built an addi-
ton to their church.

every encouragement.

NEGRO CLERKS
Have Stirred Up Trouble in
Clerical Department.

Washington, d. G.. June %
President Roosevelt's determi-
nation to place negro clerks on
equality with those of the white
race, and in authority over them,
has created a stupendous row in
several of the departments of the
Government. This row has in
creased to such intensity that
Supervising Architect Taylor, Of
the Treasury Department, the
man who has charge of the plans
and direction of the public build
ings throughout the United
States, is facing a rebellion in
his office which may mean the
resignation OF many of his force.
White draughtsmen numbering
over one hundred, and drawing
in salary from $840. to 50, 900.
per annum, are incensed over
the appointment of negro
draughtsman, and are consider
ing appealing to Tie Secretary
of the Treasury to prevent fur
ther negro appointments. Fail
ing in this. many may hand in
their resignation.
Several months ago, w. w.
Cook. negro, was appointed on
the draughting> force Of the De.
partment. At that time there
were many murmurs of discon-
tent. There was a strong pro-
test, but after a few weeks things
became normal and Cook con-
tinued to draw his salary. Yes
terday, however, Henry Wood
soon, another negro, appeared
at the Supervising Architect s
Office and was sworn in.
He was certified for appoint
ment through the Civil Service
Commission, and Mr.. Taylor had
nothing to do but accept him.
Woudson went to work alongside
of his fellow clerks, practically
all of them white draughtsmen
The draughtsmen strongly OBJ
jected to The presence of the ne
groes, but under the policy ol
President Roosevelt there is no
way to avoid their remaining in
office, and more negroes may

Prof. Kincannon's
Resignation

Hon. James K. Vardrnan,
President of the Board of
Trustees of the Mississippi
Industrial Institute and Col
lege, Jackson, Miss.
My Dear Sir
Permit me hereby to ten
der my resignation aS President
of the Mississippi Industrial In
stitute Id College, effective
July 11th, 1907.
In severing my relations with
the great institution over which
| have had the honor to preside
for so many years and to which
Il have given both my head and
heart without reservation, | may
be pardoned, I trust, for express
ing frankly a deep and heartfelt
regret. For the second time
during the session which has
Just closed, the trustees of the
State University with singular
unanimity have called me to
the Chancellorship of that insti
tuition. These honors have come
to me wholly unsought, and |
am therefore impelled to believe
that they embody a command
from the people of the State to
assume the. responsible Office of
Chancellor. This double call
makes the path of duty plain to
me,
OF my services as President of
the |. [. and c.. it does not be-
come me now to speak, but /
should be disloyal if / did not
again acknowledge my obliga-
tions to the trustees, faculty,
and student body of the College
for their unfailing cooperation
and enthusiastic support at all
times. Surrounded by these in
spring influences, / have been
happy in my work; and | there
fore lay down the great trust
committed to me in 1893 with a
tear and a prayer.
To the good people of Colum-
bus and especially to Hon. T B.
Franklin, Chairman of the Exec
utive Committee and Hon. Wal
ter Weaver whose friendly Offices
have always blessed and sustain
ed me in the hour of doubt and
trial, as we'll as to all Of the
State, | am profoundly grateful.
For my successor | bespeak from
all who love the I l. and G. the
same cooperation and support
which has been so generously
given to me.
Earnestly hoping that the All
Wise Father viii continue to
guide the Industrial Institute
and College toward the accom-
plishment of its matchless mis-
sion, | have the honor TO be, my
dear sir,
