COLORED PREACHER
Advises His Race TO Support the
Democratic Ticket

The Star Herald is in receipt of
the following letter from ReVs.
Anderson and Jackson, the colored
eyangelists, of St. Louis, who re-
Gently held such glorious meeting
at the colored church in Pocahontas,
and also held meetings at Biggers
and Rayenden. The letter COM
mends the progress of the colored
race in the South, and declares the
colored man in Arkansas has an ad-
vantage of ten to one over his
more unfortunate brethren up north.
These preachers have been in Ran
dolph county for the last thirty
days, and at the close of their work
write the following letter;
Ravenden, Ark, Oct. 6.-We
have closed our thirty days work.
Our meeting at Ravenden was a
pleasant one, only we regret that
there were no sinners that seemed
to want Christ in the dying hour.
We had good lot of sinners, but
they did not care to 90 to heaven
when done with this world. Our
stay in the South has been a pleas
ant one. / will say for the colored
people in Arkansas that they are
d d,ing ten to one better than they
are in Missouri, and it is because
peace and harmony prevails. 1t has
always been my theme that the
negro will always live in peace and
prosperity where he is known-with
the old true-hearted Democrat
because they do what they say to-
wards looking after each Others IN
terests. And must say, with all
our good Republican promises, we
in the north-the negrO-are living
by the skin Of our teeth; while the
"bad man." the Democrat, so called
by our promising Republican friend,
the negro and the Democrat are
living on the fat of the lamb. The
Republicans promise but the Demo-
Gratis DO, so far my part give me
the man that Does. We as a race
can live on do, but we are starving
on good promises.

was a leading member of the NJ. E.

INSPECTION OF
Pixies ORDERED
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS
TO KNOW n THEY ARE Up
TO REQUIREMENTS.

Acting at the request and under the
orders OF the United States Posta
Department, Judge W. o. Gordon ha.
ordered L. 5. Lamar. L. H. Fitzgerald
and J. NJ. Gregory. County Superin
tendents Of Turnpikes. 10 go over the
turnpikes of the county. inspect them
and report as 10 whether or not they
are up to the charter requirements
The order does not include the Car.
ter's Greek pike, as no rural route
from Columbia goes over this pike
nor does it include the Columbia
Goodwin & Santa Fe pike, as an in
junction was granted some months
since which prevents the Superinten-
dents of Turnpike from interfering in
the conduct OF this pike at all.
1t is said that this order OF the Pos
tai authorities is aimed particularly at
the turnpikes cont oiled by Horace
Rainey The Government, wherever
it is possible, makes annual contracts
with the turnpike companies for the
passage of the rural route carriers
through the toll gates of the pixies.
All the turnpike companies of the
county. it is said, have made the Gov
eminent annual contracts at reduced
rates, except the companies controlled
by Mr.. Rainey, and on these pixies the
straight rate is demanded.
In view of the fact that the straight
rate is demanded on these pixies, it
is believed the Government is pre-
pairing to demand that the pixies shall
be kept strictly up to the law, and in
case the report of the Turnpike SUI
perintendents is adverse, suit will be
filed by the Government in the Fed
eral court, and prosecution may fol-
low on the grounds that toll is Being
collected when the pixies are not up
to tn requirements Of the law.

SUIT FILED Fur
EIGHTEEN CENTS
COLUMBIA. GOODWIN AND SANTA
FE PIKE. SEEKS TO COL
LEcT TOLL.

A rival Of the famous Giles county
goose case. which fingered in the
courts Of the state for years and piled
up costs Of several thousands Of dol
lars. was entered for trial before
Squire Guest OF Columbia last Sat
urday.
In the local case the Columbia. God
win & Santa Fe Turnpike Co. has
sued Bose Lucas. a prominent farmer
living near the company's pike, for
eighteen cents. The basis Of the suit
is that some hogs belonging to Mr..
Lucas passed through the toll gate OF
the complainant company on which
Mr.. Lucas refused to pay toll. The
suit will be watched with much inter-
est and if it is vigorously fought may
also become a record trial.
Forty or more years ago a like suit
was entered in this county in which
the Columbia & Hampshire Turnpike
Co. sued Bill Garner for five cents
toll. This case was started before the
war and was carried from the magis-
trate's court to the Circuit Court and
thence to the Supreme Court. The
costs at the end of the suit amounted 2
to over $500.
