Geo. R. Edwards for State Treasurer.

OF all the men who are aspir-
ing to public Office this year, we
do not know of any man more
competant or worthy than
George r. Edwards, Jr., of At
ITALIA County, who is candidate
for nomination for Treasurer of
the State of Mississippi. Mr.
Edwards isl a plain, everyday
Mississippian. He sprang from
| the ranks of common people and
knows what it is to handle the
smutty end of the chunk. The
only college he ever graduated
from is the College of Hard
Knocks. He is in close touch
with the masses, with whom his
Isympathies and interests lie, and
he is the local Secretary Of the
Farmers Educational and Coop
eratiye Union of America, at
MCCool, Miss. He is charter
member of the Woodmen Of the
World and is Knight TempIar
Mason.
George Edwards began life as a
teacher in the common schools Of
the State. He is a young man
and has wife and two girl child
ren. For eight years he was
the Private Secretary of Hon.
John Sharp Williams, and for
three years he was also the pri-
vate Secretary of Gov. james K.
Vardamsn. Mr.. Edwards refers
the people to Mr.. Williams and
Gov. Vardaman as to his fitness
for this office. He is as safe as
the rock Of Gibraltar. SunfIower

While Mississippians will ac-
quit Senator McEnery of this
miserable fake they will not over
look the insult offered them by
the Williams followers, nor for
get the suggestion in this fake
that the Office of senator belongs
not to the people but to some ar
rogant egolstic who thinks he is
above the people. 1t will be re.
called by those who have kept In
touch with political movements
the past few months, that wien
Mr.. Williams announced his can
didacy for the senate that it was
with a whine that Governor Var
daman should not be a candidate
for the office because be knew
that Mr.. Williams had long in
tended to seek that office; and
again at Meridian he announced
that he was not running against
Governor >Vardaman, but that
Governor Vardaman was running
against him, thus carrying out
the suggestion that the Office be-
longed not to the people but to
him by some right or claim
known only to his superabundant
and oYerfowng egotism. But it
has not been alone in this matter
of trying to ring in Senator Nc
Emery. to strengthen his fading
hopes that Mr.. Williams and his
friends have sought to whip the
Mississippi voters in line with bis
aspirations. Only a few days
since there appeared in this sec
ton a man from Washington
whose mission was to tell certain
voters that report said were for
Governor Vardaman as to how
they should vote and to hold over
their heads the threat of what Mr..
Williams would do for their in

gresham If not elected to the sem

NEGRO POPULATION
OF WASHINGTON IS GROWING lNTOL.-
ERABLE TO DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
National Capitol Called Negro Ileay-
en- and Assaults on White Women
Frequent.

BY Edward Mccarthy Special CORRESPONDENT
1 Washington, July 90 The
/ police census of the District of
Columbia, just completed, shows
a negro population of 95, 900, the
Total population for all races be-
ling $4,000. The census further
ishows that the negro race prac-
tically controls the government of
1 the District of Columbia. In
the Offices Of the District negroes
predominant. There are negro
health officers, negro policemen,
negro clerks, negro chiefs of di-
visions, negro assessors and in
spectors, all of whom receive
from 5000 to 50, 500 per year.
In the departments of the Fed
eral government hundreds of ne
Igro men and women are employed,
many Of them receiving as much
as $4,000 per annum. In most
every department of the govern
ment can be found from three to
ten negro men occupying posi-
tions as chiefs of bureaus and
divisions, having under them
white men and women clerks.
| Washington is often referred
to as Negro Heaven.o Negro
men and white women, and white
men and negro women marry IL
this jurisdiction at an alarming
rate each year. In fact, the sit
uation became SO bad that the.
Hon. Adam Byrd, representative
in Congress from the Fifth Missis-
lsippi district, at the last session of
congress introduced a bill prohib-
iting the intermarriage of eau
casians, negroes and mongollans,
which bill came very near pass
ing the house, which s.
overwhelmingly Republican. It
is generally understood that Mr..
Byrd will again introduce the
bill when the Sixtieth congress
conVenes in December, and push
it to passage.
Congressman Heflin of Alabama
introduced bill, providing for
Jim Crow cars Jon the Street
railway systems of Washington,
and made loyal fight for its pas
sage. The white people of the
District Of Columbia regardless of
party, approved the bill, but the
three commissioners appointed by
the President to administer the
affairs of the District, fought it,
and it failed to become law.
Another effort will be made to-
pass the bill i'll the incoming con,
gress.
Conditions SO far as the negro
is concerned have become so bad
in the District of Columbia that
|it has become necessary for po-
licemen in plain clothes Ito patrol
the streets and alleys Of the city.
Hardly night passes that some
white woman is not assaulted by
some black brute. Only short
time ago a white woman was all
most choked to death by a negro
right in the shadow of the dome
of the capitol building. The ne
gro was arrested but when
brought before the police court
Judge, who halls from the State
of Main, he fined him $40, which
he thought was a very severe pen
|alty.
Both Democratic and .Republi-
can congressman have made up
their minds that the curse Of ne
gro domination in this city must
end. They, Of course, realize
that it will take time to achieve
this result, but they propose to
agitate the question until success
shall have crowned their efforts.
