No Negro POstOffice Clerks for Brook.
haven.

There was a great deal of inter
est manifested in Brookhaven
Thursday and yesterday over the
report that Eugene Saffon, of va
ZOO City, one of the negroes eligi-
BILE under the Government civil SER
vice regulations for postal clerk,
had been notified to report here at
once to serve as a clerk in the
Brookhaven postoffice. Among the
many who heard of and discussed
the matter, the sentiment was uni
versal that such thing was alto
gether repugnant to the wishes of
the white patrons Of the Office, and
that the negro's attempt to serve in
that capacity was a serious menace
to the peace and good order of the
community. Numerous little
punches of white citizens were seen
earnestly discussing the subject on
the streets Thursday evening, and
they all agreed that the negro must
be given to understand in some way
that he could not force himself on
the people here with impunity.
Some of the most influential and
peaceable negro citizens of the
town, it is learned, who appreciate
the situation also, set about getting
in communication with Saffon and
acquainting him with the sentiment
here, and on this account or for:
some reason not explained, he has
failed to show up. There was quite
crowd at the depot yesterday
morning when the train arrived on
which he was expected, to see how
he looked.

The Negro Growing Obnoxious Political
" in the North.

An observant writer we'll remarks
that the scenes of riot and blood
shed lately enacted in the capital
of Abraham Lincoln State are not
the harvest of emancipation but
enfranchisement, which cannot be
charged to Lincoln. No other bas-
ic marks for tracing the line of
cause and effect is needed, than the
following story of the condition
created at Springfield, by making
the negro a voter and an equal:
The feeling between the whites
and negroes in Springfield has been
growing for years and the outburst
of last night and today has been
smouldering for a long time. The
negroes have not only sought actual
equality with the whites, but they
have demanded it as a right. In
addition to seeking social equality,
the negroes have become an impor-
tant factor in politics. This had
added fuel to the flames of race
hatred, which finally eliminated in
the outburst last night. For years
the negro population of Springfield
has been increasing at a rapid rate,
many of the blacks coming from
the Southern States. During the
past few years the blacks have held
the balance of power between the
Republican and Democratic parties,
and as they always voted in a solid
block, their voting power was felt.
The negroes have become such a
power in politics that the Republi-
can politicians have been catering
to them, which increased the inso-
lence of the blacks. AS result of
their activity in politics and their
''pulls" with Republican politicians
it has been almost impossible to
convict negro of any crime in
Springfield. AS soon as a negro
was arrested he would seek an in
fiuential Republican politician and
secure his release.
AS long as the negroes were used
against the Democrats in the cleo
tions the masses of the Republican
voters thought little of their politi-
cal activity, but when Republican
politicians began to use them in
solid phalanx in the Republican
party primaries it caused the Re-
.publicans to sit up and take notice.
1t soon became known that the ne
gro vote was for sale, and that the
candidates or candidate putting up
the largest bribery fund got the
negro vote. In the last Republican
primary the negroes openly sold
their votes and boasted about it.
This caused intense resentment and
feeling among the defeated Repub-
licans, and the bitterness against
the negroes among that element of
the population has contained to
grow Only a spark was needed to-
kindle the race hatred into a burn
ing conhagration, and when the
brutal outrage.of the wife Of the
street car conductor occurred the
flame Of race wal. burst forth, and
the scenes of, ,rioting and wild dis
order which Springfield has exper-
fenced was the result.

Of one and one-third of the regular

& M. College, Starkville, Miss. !;

Testimony Taken at the A., & NJ.

Jackson, Aug. 19.-It seems that
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, with its recent accompani-
ment of official investigation into
the acts of it's head, President J.
C. Hardy, will not down, but will
continue to bob up before the read
ing public in some form or other,
ad infnitum. The latest phase of
this is the attempt of the Alumni
Association, through its head, Ju-
liam Gill, of Starkville, to secure
the permission of Governor Noel
for that body to have access to the
record in order to publish such
parts as might be deemed best,
with view to holding up Presi-
dent Hardy more clearly to the.
public gaze. According to a state
ment of Governor Noel today, Mr..
Gill called on him Monday, and
made verbal request that they have
access to the record of the case
as made by Stenographer Haley, in
order that the parts bearing on the
principal points in controversy be
included in the contemplated pam
phlet history. He further stated
that the Alumni Association did not
have sufficient fund with which
to secure and publish all the testi-
mony, and only desired to secure
the relevant parts.
The Governor intimated in effect,
that while he was prefectly willing
that the record be published, and
would contribute as an Individual
to the fund therefor, he would not
be satisfied to have any part omit
ted; that the record is a public
document, and any citizen of the
State could have access thereto, but
as an Individual member of the
Board he would not be willing to
have part and not the whole pub
lished. If the Alumni Association,
or any one else, desires to publish
even extracts they would have the
right to do SO, but he would
take no part therein, nor contribute
anything to the expense entailed.
The Board of Trustees has already
spent $40G this year in the taking
of testimony, which is 5000 more
than the specific fund for that pur-
pose amounted to and while it will
be necessary to transcribe the rec
ord entire in order to report to the
Legislature, there are nc funds
properly available even for this
work.
At the request of Mr.. Gill, Gov
ernor Noel consented to reduce the
communication or conference be-
tween them to writing, the same
having been dictated to a stem
ographer.

Gambling in Cotton Must Stop.

In their campaign in opposition
to a law against cotton gambling
a chief invention of the New Or.

was to iterate and reiterate, thai

their repeal was to be expected. The
following from the Atlanta Consti.

No renodeling of rules and reg

cange can make will satisfy thai

reservedly eliminates all gambling

BLOW TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC,
Denounced in Strong Terms by Catholic
Societies.

New Haven, Conn.,, August.
Denunciation of the liquor traffic,
an appeal for sanctifcation of Sun
day, and the exclusion from mem
bership in Catholic societies of
those engaged in the liquor traffic
were the striking features of the
resolutions adopted by the national
convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union today. The res
olutions declare that mot in drunk
enness and riotous living can a man
make effective profession of the
Catholic faith. With Indignation
the union protests against the
taunts of it's critics. 1t does not
feel that it should stoop to contest
the claims for ultra orthodoxy
which have been so blatantly made
by those who have tried to substi-
tute the German mug for the stand
ard of the cross. The day for apol-
ogy for total abstainers is over"
The union also declares it's al
legiance to the Catholic Church and
adds:
with all our souls we welcome
the encyclycal of our holy father,
Plus x, on modernism.
The resolutions also say: Cath
olic periodicals. that cannot live
without liquor advertisements
should die.
Let them not drag down the
Catholic name in their greed. We
earnestly suggest that Catholic or
ganizations which exclude saloon
keepers from membership and
which forbid the use of liquor at
their meetings should not tolerate
the formation of clubs within the ir
membership which despise the let
ter and spirit of these laws that
have been made by their organiza-
tion for the honor of the Catholic
name"
The following cablegram was re-
ceived from Rome in answer to a
message sent by the convention:
Bishop of Hartford: Holy
father thanks convention for their
congratulations, willingly blesses
all members.

pastor of the Methodist Church in
Wesson and who was transferred
from the Mississippi to the Missou-
ria Conference and stationed at
Canton, will return to this State
during September for a temporary
sojourn.
The Railroad Commission has
cited the Gulf & Ship Island and
Mississippi Central roads to ap-
pear at the first September meeting
and show cause why they shall not
be ordered to have their trains wait
80 minutes for each other in order
to connect for passengers at their
crossing at Silver Creek. The Mis-
sissippi Central has expressed a
willingness to hold it's trains when
necessary, but the Gulf & ShipI Is
