EXPRESS OFFICE
MAY CLOSE UP
EXPRESS OFFICIALS SAY THAT
NO NEGRO is HONEST
And Therefore Desire to Close the
American Express Company's Ag-
ency at Mound Bayou-Commis-
sioners to Act on Question

The railroad commissioners have
received from Supt G. c. Kettering,
Of the American Express Company,
a request for permission to close the
express office at Mound Bayou, for
the reason that it is impossible to
get an honest negro to act as agent.
In regard to- the matter he says:
A little over year ago we had
storage of several hudred dollars
at Monthd Bayou A month or six
weeks ago we had shortage of $I3o
and now we are confronted with
another shortage Of $40 You under
stand that Mound Bayou is a negro
town; not a white man living there.
Our agency is joint with the railroad
company and the agent. of course,
must be a negro, as a white man, you
will appreciate, would not live in the
town, and to get an honest negro, I
believe you will agree with M. is
out of the question. To close our
office would of course, inconvenience
the residents and business people Of
Mound Bayou. IT is true we do
quite a business which would be put
off and delivered from Merigold
Miss, the next nearest office, only
three miles distant 1t seems impos-
sibie Tor the railroad company to get
an honest negro for this point, and
believe it would also be to their
interest to close the station
Thus far the Y & NJ. " road has
not applied for permission to close
its agency, and as Commissioner Nc
Nair don't quite agree with Supt
hetterlng that ito get an honest ne
gro is impossible" it not likely
that the request will be granted

okIahoma,s Wild DOGS.

Farmers owning pack or trail hounds
in Logan county, two or three miles
south Of Guthrie, Okla, have been en-
Toying novel and exciting sport in the
last two or three weeks in running
down and killing a pack of wild dogs.
-Four years ago a farmer who moved
frqm the neighborhood left behind at
his abandoned log cabin female
hound. The latter made no effort to
find another home, and soon ran wild.
In the two succeeding years she
raised two litters of pups, in all four
teen. The mother and her offspring
lived as one family, and as the pups
grew bigger and bigger farmers began
losing pigs and poultry and young
calves. There are many wolves in
this portion of Oklahoma, and it was
suspected that some of these dogs had
wolf fathers, which is not unusual
The pack, led by the mother, grew
so bold that several times it attacked
negroes returning home from the cot
ton fields, and was driven off with
great difficulty. The negroes became
so alarmed that many of them would
not venture away from their homes at
night The dogs seem to find much
sport in pursuing domestic dogs, even
packs of trail hounds, and were
numerous enough to make the fights
one-sided. The losses became so
heavy that several general hunts were
organized, and the pack was finally
destroyed but not until it had made
it lively for the hounds put on its
