of election are both officers and
probably come within that pro-
vision of the constitution pro.
hibiting any person from hold
ing two Offices at the same
time, it was deemed wisest to
follow the law strictly and not
take any chances of a contest.
On that ground therefore
Messrs W F Rodgers Lane,W Z
Hanna, Cades, and VS. Eaddy
Jay, were appointed instead OF
the gentlemen first above named.
This was the only reason for the
change. The gentlemen first
selected were selected unami-
nously, and so also were the
last. This explanation is made
so that Messrs Davis, Chandler
and Cox viii understand why
they have not received notice
of appointment and why those
named were substituted in their

Gaskins had up before him two
negroes charged with calling a
white man, Mr. J NJ Lyerly, cut

wife. Mr. I.yerby is trail man
and of poor health, mentally and
physically, and so far as we
have ever heard. is a quiet,
honest law-abiding and hard
working citizen and man, No
charge is made against him
His only "crime" seems to be
that he is poor and weak. If
old Williamsburg has come to
that depth of shame that a white
man, simply because he is poor
and feeble, can be beaten and
dubbed and lynched by black
negro scoundrels, may God help
our country!

posTMAN WHO GREW FAMOUS.
Jack London was Carrying Letters
when his First Story was Accepted.

When all the belated dispatches
heralding the progress of Jack Lon
don, novelist. about the uncharted
seas Of his yacht Shark have been
collected there will be ample mate
rial for another autobiography on a
magazine contract from the pen OF
the author of "The Call Of the Wild"
Yet there are few items concern
Ing London's youth which the author
and his friends have overlooked In
the past. H
For instance, 1t has never been told
that when London had his first piece
OF fiction accepted he was a postman.
Just about the time that his check
arrived from well known short
story magazine of the news stand
type, published In Boston, London's
name was posted in the post office at
who had successfully passed the civil
service examinations for the position
of carrier.
His rank was higher than that of
any of the other ten or a dozen sue
cessful applicants. London carried
the mail pouch for short time only
and then he suddenly began to find
himself famous because Of the vogue
OF his first Alaskan stories and he
gave up his job with the post office.
When London came back from his
cruises on sailing schooner to enter
the Oakland High School he was a
shock haired, unkempt youth about
21, who always wore blue sweater
and who rode to school on a dilapi-
dated bicycle. Because OF his age
he appeared to the other students
there as a man full grown, who was
hardly to be approached ON the foot
ing of comradeship.
1t was not until he began to write
little monologues in tramp dialect
for the school paper that London at
tracted attention. Some of the things
he wrote for that school paper he
could sell under his name to-day, for
they were far and away above the
caliber of the school paper story.
The awe in which the students
held the husky young man increased
one day when after he had been at
tending school for about a year he
was arrested for addressing an out
door Socialists meeting in Oakland 8
City Hall Park without police per-
mission. That capped the student
wonder and he was generally consid-
cred either genius or bug \
