Charles HopKins Resigns and W.
Lansston Appointed.

Owing to falling health, SHERIFF
Charles Hopkins the first Of The
week rendered his resignation a.
Sheriff OF Leon county 10 Governor
Broward to take effect on the appoint.
ment and qualification OF his successor.
There we're several applicants for the
appointment. all good men, and friends
of each laid their qualifications and
claims before the Governor and souont
the appointment for their particular
choice and favorite, and the contest
moved along quietly and pleasantly for
the appointment of the sheriff until
Wednesday afternoon, when the Cover
nor appointed Chief of Police VIM. N.
Langston 70 the position, and he will
soon qualify as High Sheriff Of Leon
county. There was no factionalisn or
bitterness in this contest, and the Cow
ernor is commended and congratulated
on all sides by our citizens in acting
satisfactorily and promptly in IL. Nh.
Langston has made the city a conscien-
tlous, fearless and faithful servant, and
Governor Broward has this time re-
warded an official who deserves it. In
going into the new Office Sheriff Lang
ston appreciates the fact that much
more than ordinarily so, much will be
expected of him, and his friends pener-
ally believe he will measure an 10 the
full standard, and violators of law IN
and around Tallahassee will know what
to expect from the very beginning Of
his administration, for he will appoint
deputies who will also do their fuilduty
in backing up their chief in uphoIding
and enforcing law.
Mr.. Hopkins recently bought farm
about eight miles north of Tallahassee.
and has decided to enter the rapidly in
creasing ranks of tobacco planters, and
IS now preparing five or more acres for

pointing and giving US a good sheriff. !.

Hotel.

The friends of Mr.. j. D. Hutchinson.
now owner as well as proprietor Of the
Leon hotel here in Tallahassee. will be
delighted to learn of his continued i'm
provement in health. Mr.. Hutchinson
counts his friends by scores in all parts
of the Union, and no doubt all old pat
rons of the hotel will be glad to know
that 1t will still be carried on under his
general supervision. Although but al
few days have elapsed since his pur.
chase of the hotel, arrangements are
being made already to improve the
building very extensively. That part
running out toward the west will be re-
modelled and furnished with number
of bathrooms, and fresh paint and pa
per will make the whole interior most
attractive.
Mr.. Eugene Liday, a courteous, eff
Gent and popular hotel man, has had
charge of the Leon about two years.
and It will continue to be under M
management during the next season.
Mr., Liday will be assisted, at present.
by Mr.. Buffkin, another gentleman de-
servedly popular with the travelling
public.
Mrs F. r. Lamb, the former owner
of the Leon, will leave the first of Oc-
tober for Atlanta, Ga, where she will
make her home until her plans for the
future are matured.
The site of this hotel is the most de-
sirable one for the purpose in the city,
being within a block Of all the churches.

from the postoffice and the beginning
of the business blocks II faces Park

is directly in front of the hotel. The
Leon is very popular with winter resi-

THAI DADE JUDeSHIP.

Somebody has been cruel enough to
remark that Editor Stoneman is getting

to mix. It has not been many years
since Mr.. Stoneman was a devout MEM
Der Of the alliance which produced
Broward But this has nothing to do
with the merits Of the present case.
Mr. Stoneman and the Democrats Of
Dade county have alike been made the
victim Of an incXcusable wrong. 49,

Editor Stoncman, If Miami, is GER
tainly in hard luck. He was recently
elected judge Of the criminal court of
record Of Dadc county by strong ma
jority vote, but one of his competitors,
Saunders, fled protest against the is
suance Of his commission by the Cover
nor on the ground that he was not a
lawyer in practice as REQUIRED by the
law. The Governor submitted the
question and evidence i'm the case TO the
Attorney General, and the latter de-
cided that Mr.. Stoncman was ineligible.

the Office then followed Now who is
TO blame in this case, or is there any

nor Broward appointed w. |. Metcalf,
ESQ.,, of West Palm Beach, Judge of
the criminal court Of record Of Dade
county. The nominee Of the primary,
f. 3. Stoneman, of Miami, not being
eligible to the office, the Governor has
seen fit to construe the situation in the
light that as Mr.. Stoneman was ineli-
gible the appointment Of Judge was now
in his hands. While this may look
plausible to the Governor his action will
not look plausible to the people whom
he promised should select the appointee.

When seaborn Wright. the great
Georgia orator, speaking 70 Pensacola
audience last week, drew his deadly
picture Of sthe part which the saloon
plays in the troubles between the races
ir the South todayhe told truth which
every man within the hearing of his
voice at once recognized and admit
ted
Put two churches-one white and one
colored--in the same community. Let
them hold the same kind Of services,
sing the same songs, and preach from
the same texts, and race problem Is
the last thing in the world that either
thinks about.
But pull the pulpits out. of those
churches, install in each bar with a
white aproned bartender behind it, and
let one go to dishing out liquor to white
and the other to colored patrons, and
you have a race problem inside of TWEEN
ty minutes.
1t was white mems liunor in the
frenzied brains Of drunken negroes that
caused the Atlanta race riots. That is
a fact which no man has ever thought
Of denying or will attempt to deny. 1t
w"s the open, licensed barroom that
caused the bloodshed and terror in At
lanta, and it is the open, licensed bar
room that is at the bottom of a large
part of the trouble between the races
everywhere.
The negro is not, inherently, bad
citizen The sober, industrious, hard
working negro seldom, if ever, gets in
TO trouble. He is trusted and respected
by his white neighbors, and they live
side by side, each in his respective
sphere, without malice or friction or
trouble of any kind.
But when shiftless, worthless ne
gro fills up on the white mems whiskey
and proceeds 20 spread terror through
the community, he not only causes trou-
BILE, but innocent, laW.abiding, and re-
spectacle members of his race to suffer
In consequence.
The good negro in the community
does not stand for any such a condition
as this, but what can the good negro
do when an open grog shop stands on
every corner ready to entice and de-
bauch the weaker members of his race?
1t might be different with them if the
good negroes did not have to suffer for
these things, but they do suffer and
they do get the blame when they are in
no wise responsible.
Run the saloons out of the South and
the race problem will be practically
solved. Prohibit the existence of low
dives, operared by white men, and me-
groes alike, for the sale of liquor to the
lower class and the law-abiding, respec-
table negroes will no longer have to
bear the stigma of crimes for which
they never have been responsible.
This is a duty which the white race
owes to the negro and duty which the
best element of negroes owe to their
own race. Let white and colOred alike
decide to vote the traffic out. Pensa-
cola Journal.
