at a meettuwcra colored woman's

AT q MeGttuE ora c0lOred WOman'S
convention held In Hartford, Conn,
. few days ago, one Of the delegates,
q Mrs. Simpson, bitterly attacked
President Roosevelt for his disband-
ing the colored regiments which
we're implicated in the shooting up
of Brownsville and declared in
vehement and impassioned words
that as long as the president was at
the head OF the nation that the
negro race had no reason to expect
anything of a kindly nature flom
him. This is an attack from a new
quarter, for the superstition has been
all along that the president has
shown a kindly disposition toward
the members OF the coloreu race, aud
what be did to the colored regiment
he would have done to a white regI-
ment just as quick did he have the
same cause. The PRESIDENT xrles to
be fair but he is taken the wrong way
when q situation does not happen to
strike the parties interested just
right.

players in the club than has been
the case in the past five Oh six years. |
The public does not understand the
game to any great extent and little
interest is shown in the game out
side of the players, but it is one Of
the hest played to test the physical
endurance and skill of the players.

WILL BUILD NEXT SPRING
Dakota Improved Seed Co. Have De
cided to Wait Until Next
Spring Before Building.

a meeting Of the board Of directors
OF the Dakota Improved Seed Co.
was held late Wednesday afternoon
at which time plans for the erection
of its seed house at the corner Of
Lawler street and First Avenue east
were considered. On account of the
difficulties which presented them
selves in the erection of thu proposed
building this fall, as we'll as the late
ness of the season, it was decided to
postpone the construction of the
building above the foundation until
next spring Or summer. Considerable
work has already been accou. plished
this summer in clearing the site and
of e%xcavating. The work will soon
b. finished OF the foundation Of the
building AMI it will be in readiness
to start off with the first building
project in 1908.
The business for the coming season
will be conducted In rented quarters.
Several locations for this purpose
ale Being considered at the present
time. 1t is thought that within a
short time the company will have
made provision for all the locations
that arc necessary.
The outlook at the present time
is very favorable. The prospects for
a good crop of seeds where they have
been placed under contract are good
and there will undoubtedly be ID large
demand for pedigreed seeds the COM
ing year and the company expects to
lie in good shape to supply these
demands. The company will do a
mail order retail business. ThG first
annual catalogue will be issued about
January 1st, 1908, and from that
time on they will be in shape to con-
duct a general mail order business 10

than some people can ana they are
not all confined to tue starwart wing

FARMERS UNION COTTON SCHOOL
FIembers Will be Instructed at
Small Cost, i'm the SampIing
and Grading of Cotton

The Farmers Union Cotton
School that has been recommended
by the Union and ordered by the
executive committee, will open
July Is. The school will be taught
in Conway, the details of which
have been referred to Ben. l..
Griffin, State Secretary, and Jas.
|. Ellis, State Business Agent, to
arrange. We wish to add that the
state is to pay the fees of the
teachers of the school. The state
will furnish samples and types of
cotton and the instructors, hence
there will be but little cost attach
ed to the course of instruction that
will be very valuable to the farm
ers, and we hope that every ware
house district will send to this
school its best qualified members
for such work. This is business
proposition in which we are all
very much interested, and the
positions that will demand these
cotton graders and handlers are
such that as demand our best rep
representative men-a business
man and one in whom perfect con-
fidence and reliance can be placed.
Teachers will be secured and the
complete program of the school
made known some time in the inn
mediate future. BEN L. GRIFFIN.

nOTOR CAR IN OPERATION

The trial motor car recently
built for the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railroads has made
its first run in regular service.
The car is being operated between
Carthage and Asbury Junction,
Mo. The car is about so feet long

ments. The first contains the
operating machinery, the second
the baggage and the third the
passenger compartments. The
passenger compartment is divided
into two sections, a smoking de-
partment and passenger depart
ment proper. The car carries SO
people. If it proves a success it
is the intention of the Missouri
Pacific officials to build more cars
of the same kind and install them
on various branches of the system.

HARD BLOW FOR BLIND TIGERS
Legislature Passes Law to Fine
Property Owners Who Rent
Buildings to Blind Tigers

Little Rock, May 1.-The pass
age of the Patterson blind tiger
bill IN the house yesterday after
noon marks an epoch in the legisla-
tive affairs on the liquor traffic. The
bill provides that any property
owner renting for the purpose of
operating blind tigers shall be
deemed guilty, and that after the
first conviction of a blind tiger on
the property of another the owner
is deemed to know of the existence
of such blind tiger, and he is to be
deemed guilty also. The bill has
passed both houses and will become
a law Immediately upon be appov-
ed by Acting Governor Moore.
1t is claimed by many the pass
age of the law is one of the longest
steps in the direction of maintain
ing prohibition in prohibition terri
tory ever taken. Heretofore the
law has specified that no man may
rent his property for the purpose
of selling liquor on it. And when
person is convicted of selling
liquor the owner can come up with
his contract and point to its pro-
vision that the renter cannot sell
liquor therein. This bill is to
eliminate this feature of the present
law.
