Whereas, we have heard of the
depredations of the night riders in
Mississippi and elsewhere. and,
Whereas, there is a similar move
in the Southern part of this lovely
State of Mississippi, and,
Whereas, some are inclined to
bring the Farmers Union into dis
repute for the rash acts of few I'M
reasonable men, and,
Whereas, the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America
are opposed to such acts. We here
by denounce such as the heinous
crimes of anarchists and cowardly
assassins, the perpetrators of which
are wholly unfit to be memb ers of
our union which is founded upon
the principles of justice and the
golden rule given by Jesus Christ to
his deciples. Therefore be it
Resolved by the Malone Local
Union. No. 31S, that We discounte-
nance all such rash acts.
Resolved 2nd, That any person
guilty of, or aiding, or knowing to
such crimes and not reporting same
to the proper officers Of the local,
shall be excluded from this local.
Resolved 3rd, That one copy of
these resolutions be sent to the
Union Advocate, one to the Farm
ers' News Scimitar and one to the
Weekly

Rev. r. q. porter.

The friends of Rev. r. G. Porter,
throughout Mississippi and other
States, will he grieved to learn Of
his death which occurred II Mem
phis on the 9th instant. Mr.. Por-
ter was a familiar figure in social
and ecclesiastical circles in North
Mississippi for more than half
century, having flied the pulpit of
the foremost charges of the " Z.
church South in this section and
serving in the executive branch as
Presiding Elder a number Of years.
Better known as C uilderoy he
attained considerable reputation as
an author, writing several books
which acquired popularity. At the
time Of his death, he was in charge
of the church work at Strong Sta
ton, this county, and had been
carried to Memphis on a special
train to have an operation perform
ed for appendicitis. Before the
operation could be performed, how
ever, he died of the malady He
leaves a wife and several chill
dren, one of whom, Mr.. W B.
Porter, resides in Aberdeen. To
the bereaved, general sympathy of
friends and the public Is extended.
Booker T. Washington 5 address
at Jackson, in the coliseum, was
the stereotyped edition he has been
making from his inception into
prominent life. His advice to mem
beers Of his race is nothing more than
any sensible negro could block out
for himself, and the same that
those who have made any pro-
gress have exemplified since they
were set free. That any marks OF
greatness should distinguish Booker
for advising the negro to give close
application to vocations suited to
his Intelligence and environments;
to be diligent, honest, frugal. NOR
III and obedient to the laws Of his
country and God, is more the chance
of fortune than deserved All of
the above have been pumped into
the negro from time immemorial,
and that before Booker was born.
! The Israclites had a Moses, the
American colonists had Washing
ton, and the African must have a
deliverer also. If such does not exist
in reality, then one must be raised
up. 1t is perfectly natural. there
/ fore, considering the negroes pen
chant to initiate the white race,
that this leaders, name should be

The Lakes-to-Gulf Convention
is in session at Chicago, and peo-
pie in the Mississippi Valley and
valleys of the tributary rivers are
watching its proceedings with inter
est. Candidate VIM. II. Taft de-
livered the first speech and scored
considerable popularity by unequiv-
ocally declaring himself in favor
of changing the present system of
waterway appropriations so as to
improve rivers and harbors with
out red tape and delays" By this
declaration, Mr.. Taft meant that
he favored treating the Lakes to the
Gulf IA foot channel as one great
enterprise, and that provision
should be made, bonds or otherwise
for fund sufficient to complete
the work at once 1t was lucky
hit for Mr.. Taft. as most of the
10000 people present are advocates
of like policy. Mr.. Bryan will
address the convention on its last
day, and, of course, will favor the
speediest plans that will secure and
complete the channel The Lakes
to-the-Gulf enterprise, having with
out doubt, the next President of
the United States committed to the
project, is a certainty at no distant
day, and when in full operation,
will prove the most rapid develop
er of the great Mississippi Valley
this section has ever known. With
the Panama Canal, through which
to transport the immense volume
of freight poured to the Gulf coast
along this fourteen foot channel,
this section will awaken as from
a sleep, shake itself with prosperity
and rank foremost in commercial
and agricultural Importance.

AGAINST THE ROADS
COURT REFUSES TO ISSUE RE-
 STItA1NKNG ORDER.
Holds Rates On Cattle May Be COnfls- catOry But Authority of Inter- state Commerce Commission
 Was Not Attacked.

St. Louis, Oct. 23.-The United States circuit court this afternoon refused to issue an injunction re- straining the Interstate Commerce Commission from putting into effect an order reducing rates on cattle ship ments from the southwest territory to Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City and other points.
 The application for the injunction was made by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad and fifty other west ern and south western roads. The pc tition for the restraining order stated that the rates prescribed by the com> mission were confiscatory.
 The ruling of the court today does not apply to the matter of the reduce tion of switching charges at the Chi gaco Terminal Yards. The Interstate Commerce Commission has already been restrained from reducing the ter minai charges on live stock from s2 to $1 car and when it's attention was called to the fact that in again is- suing an order reducing terminal charges 1t had violated the injunction. the commission suspended the order.
 The petition of the railways in both the terminal and the stock rate cases were filed at the same time. but the terminal charges was not discussed in the opinion of the court today.
 Tn denying the injunction, the court ruled that it had right to go into the evidence and determined whether the new rate was conflscatory, but that if 1t took up that phase of the matter, there must be a showing that the Interstate Commerce Commission had exceeded its authority. This has not been done, the opinion said.
