COLORED FAMILY
TREATED BADLY.

Camilla, Ga. Dec. 5.-Judge W.
n. Spence, of the Albany Super
ior Court, has issued warrants for
the arrest of Frank Adams and
John Rodney, prominent white
men of Miller county, charging
them with serious offense.
According to the story of An.
drew Moore, an aged colored man,
cooroborated by members of his
family, he had ii son in the Miller
county chain gang; who recently
escaped. 1t is alleged that a party
of night riders, led by Adams and
Rodney, the latter deputy sheriff
of Miller county, went to the old
colored mans house in Baker
county and charge him and his
family with hiding the escaped
convict.
This they denied, whereupon the
night riders, it is charged, took
them into the woods and severely
whipped the old man. his wife, his
son and his sons wife.
This bringing forth no confess

Colorado's going over to the
Democratic ranks will cause much
speculation among parties anxious
to get to the pie counter. Some
wears ago the Legislature, hoping
to improve the public service,
passed a civil service law. just
how effective this law will be in
the face of the hungry horde or
office seekers remains to be seen.
Democratic leaders will meet soon
for the express purpose OF consld-
ering this very important and vital
issue.
The great game OF American
Politics, as played, is practically a
business proposition. 70 succeed,
all the vast and subterranean re-
sources of the organization are
taxed to their utmost The details
of a campaign would doubtless be
interesting reading to the unsophis-
ticated, if it were possible t. OBJ
tain the facts. But that s another
story. Colorado has joined the great
unwashed, and the Republicans
now enjoying the exquisite luxury
of signing q voucher at the state
treasurer's office must seek other
employment The going out OF the
old and the coming of the new puts
expectation on tiptoe. Political
parties must pay their just debts,
Just as business men and individu-
ais. During campaigns many indi-
viduals labored with the fond hope
of party success-and then a seat
at the counter.
The last campaign in Colorado
was peculiar in many ways. 1t,
among other things, brought to
light the genuine Negro Bryanite.
We refrain from using the word
Democrat, for obvious reasons.
But nevertheless the Negro Bryan
ite was greatly in evidence on the
streets and in the various meet
ings. He contributed his share to
the meagre plurality that resulted
in Democratic success last Novem-
Der. This fact is no doubt clear
in the minds of Democratic lead
ers.
THE COLORADO STATESMAN is not

through desire to dictate to Dem
ocratic managers. This is a Re-

publican paper and is loyal always
to its party, but we are also loyal
to the thousands of Negroes living
in this state, regardless of their
party affiliations. We concede to
every man the right to think and
act for himself. The Republicans
have done much for the Negro in
Colorado. Not only has he been
given the usual minor places, but
he has been elected to positions of
honor and trust and has been a wei
come member of his party cou1cils.
There is no doubt that the Republi-
can party Of Colorado has dealt
more graciously with the members
of our race than any other western
state. The temporary passing of
the Republicans from power i'll this
state means the relieving of many
colored men from positions to
which they had been appointed.
1t is matter of much credit to
the race to know that every Negro
appointee has done his duty and
will leave his position with Eonor
to the race.
Now, will the Democrats fill
these positions with Negroes?
Will they give to those who will
,ngly labored for Democratic sue
cess a reasonable and fair consider
elton? There can be no excuse as
t. material competent to fill all
places now held by Negroes. The
Negroes of Colorado are splendidly
equipped to fill any public posi-
ton.
To fill the forty-eight places
now held by Negroes it will not be
necessary to consider the 90 for rev.
enue only" and "doubie-crossers. )"
Men should be selected and ap-
pointed because they can be of a
material benefit to the party.
There are some strong men and
women of our race who labored for
the success of the Democratic
party. They delivered the goods.
They should be recognized. By Civ
ing heed to our humble suggestion,
the party of jefferson and Jeff
Davis will add to the growing con
fidence of some of our people and
in measure offset the venom of

Washington, Dec. 5.-Whatever
may be the attitude of other COM
munities toward the colored troops
in the United States Army, West
Point has only words of praise and
appreciation for the colored cavalry
detachment stationed at the United
States Military Academy. Colon
el III. l.. Scott, superintendent of
the academy, voices this attitude
in his annual report to the Secre-
tary of War. by saying: The
cavalry detachment (colored) has
continued its excellent showing
and has demonstrated still further
the advantages of colored over
white men for this duty. There
is waiting list now, and only ex-
perienced men having former SER
vice and very good and excellent

No teacher who dances can hold

Williams of Muskogee, champion
cotton picker of the world, has
just made the astounding record
of 914 pounds of cotton picked in

where he successfully carried out
a contract to pick 600 acres of cot
