The Morning News, of Hopkinsville,
Ky, which, under the guidance of
Phil. H. Brown, has gained a reputa-
ton of being one of the best papers
in Kentucky, has acquired the services
of Mr.. Joseph Wilkerson Devices, who,
besides being a half owner of the bust
ness, has taken active control of the
enterprise. Mr.. Devices is an expert,
enced printer and newspaper man,
having been engaged in the former
work for a number of years before he
founded The Clarion of this city. The
Globe congratulates the News on it's
acquisition and bespeaks for these
princes of good fellows, Phil. Brown
and Joe Devices, an enlargened sphere
Of usefulness.

THE COLOR LINE.

We have heard so much of the di-
vinely made color line which the
newspapers of the South say must not
be crossed-it has been dinned into
our ears so constantly that the white
South is opposed to any mixing of the
races; that we would almost expect,
were these newspapers consistent, that
anyone found crossing this forbidden
line would be heralded as person unfit
for the association of any human be-
ing. But such is not the case. With
an agility equal to the Supreme Court
Aof the United States, when lodging
questions having to do with the civil
BIZ political rights of Negroes, the
newspapers suppress all the evidence
as rule, that shows that a white
man is the guilty person.
This week a white man and a wom-
an Of our race, in the broad light of

)toriously lewd conduct. Likewise

ould have been for there is no wom-

house for men of the white race to
lieet the demi-mondes of our race.
Not a word about this crossing of
color line, so far as we have been
lie to find has percolated through the
lily press of this city. Why was the

cemetery, Linden was slugged over the
head with blackjack, thrown from
the buggy, and robbed of his gold watch
and 81 i'll money, and left unconscious
on the deserted roadside, while the
robbers returned to town in the buggy.
The matter was reported TO the police,
but the only clue they could secure Of
the robbers was a bloody shirt left i'll
the buggy, which had been changed
for clean one by one of the robbers.
On this shirt was ii laundry mark and
