vicksbrg, Miss, July 20.-Judge
Harris Dickson, the city judge, the
popular author. and who is really the
man who started the anti-miscegena-
ton movement in this city and county,
said this morning that he was told yes
terday, that white man who had
been living in unlawful relations with
a negro woman in the county for the
past fifteen years, was yesterday seen
to be moving out, having decided to
forever give up the pernicious and de-
grading life.
And in this instance we can draw
the inference of how this great moral
public sentiment is going to work out
in each and every case in this city
and county" said Judge Dickson. 1T

force and final success the movement
is going to result, and to know that

Washington, July 2O.-Suit for the
dissolution of the so-called powder
trust will be begun by the government

end of next week. Besides the de-
mand for an injunction restraining the
defendant from further engaging in
interstate traffic, the circuit court will
