Logan Wants Convention.

While no date on which the conven-
ton is to be held has been suggested, it
is understood that il will probably be
held about the middle of September. 1t
Is not improbable that instead of hold
ing the convention in Salt Lake. as
usual, il will be held in Logan. The
Young Mems Democratic club of Logan
Is working hard to secure the cOnven-
ton and special inducements in the
way of accommodations and entertain
ment are offered. Several of the state
committee areNsaid to prefer Logan TO
Salt Lake as the meeting place. The
opera house at Logan, it is said. is am
ply large enough for all of the delegates
to the convention and a number of
spectators. At it's last meeting the
Young Mems Democratic club of Logan
passed a resolution inviting the COM
mittee to choose Logan as the place in
which to hold the convention.
The date for the primaries will be
fixed by the county organizations. In
Salt Lake, TOoele and Summit counties
the Democratic voters will choose dele
gates to the judicial convention at the
same time IN which the delegates TO
the state convention are selected In
Salt Lake county three sets of delegates
will be chosen at the same primaries
the delegates to the county. judicial and
state conventions, all of which will
probably be held within day or two
of each other

Some Possible Candidates.

No avowed candidate for a position
on the state ticket has appeared thus
far, although several prominent Demo-
Gratis have been mentioned for the
various positions. Several men, the fol-
lowing of each of whom being about
equal, are mentioned for governor. They
are Lyman r. Martineau of Salt Lake.
the present chairman; Jesse knight of
Provo, the mining king; William NJ.
Roylance of Provo. Major r. w. Young
of Salt Lake, Thomas Taylor. former
mayor of Provo; Judge II. II. Rolapp of
Ogden, Joseph Scowcroft of Ogden and
James H. Moyle of Salt Lake, twice the
candidate of the Democrats of the state
for governor. Each of those mentioned
for the position is a strong man, and
each, whether or not he is a candidate
for office, will take an active part in
aiding in the securing of Democratic
victory in Utah at the coming election.
At the coming state convention of the
Democrats their candidate for the Unit
ed States senate will probably be en-
dorsed. Those who have been most re-
Gently mentioned for this place are
Samuel Newhouse, Judge William II.
King and Judge o. w. Powers For
congress the names of Frank b. Ste
phens and Frank Nebeker have been
suggested

White Boy Killed.

Then the rioting broke loose in serious
form. Shots were fired and the air was
filed with missiles. Many fell in the
melee, and il was here that Lewis
Johnson met his death. After the mob
had moved to other scenes Johnson's
body was picked up in the rear of LO-
pers place. After nothing of Loper's
place remained for the Infatuated crowd
rush was made for the levee, which
is usually populated with negroes. But
most of them had disappeared.
Attacks We're made upon several
buildings in which it was believed ne
groes had been secreted. Entrance was
forced to these places and stocks of
merchandise turned topsy-turvy in the
search for refugees.
Shortly before midnight the mob
broke into Fishman's pawn shop and
secured a quantity of rifles, shotguns,
revolvers and ammunition. With these
they armed themselves and started to
march the streets in absolute control Of
the situation.

JAMES McGOoDE'S LETTER TO
NASHVILLE GLOBE.
Jan. 27. 1908.

jail, ~, lJUo.
Centlemen-I beg leave to ask you,
please give me a small space in your
paper. I count it a great honor as
well as a very great pleasure to mott
fly the public of the fact, that l repre-
sent n of the largest coal companies
in the city, and will deliver any me
coal to their residence anywhere in
the city at the market prices.
In addition to this, will sell small
quantities, fifty cents, one dollar and
up. You will save money if you will
place your orders with me. | will
give you my word and honor and will
assure you if you follow after the
above outline many homes will be
made happy. Remember, neighbor, /
represent the colored race, and there
is not a single one that lives in the
state of Tennessee owns a coal mine.
l will repeat no, not one, and it is to
your interest for some ono to carefully
look after your welfare, especially
when we will have to look to the
white man for aid along this line.
Coal weighs eighty pounds to the
bushel, and twenty-five bushels Of
coal mean two thousand pounds in
weight, and numbers of time when
YOU purchase your coal from various
places, you only get tw~enty-one and
.twenty-three bushels, and even if you
get as much as twenty-four bushels,
at that rate you a plainly e that
you are deprived of eighty pounds Of
coal, which mean one bushel. There
are four things | desire to say to any
one that is willing to trust me: First,
it is my duty to see that the wagon
that delivers coal to your residence is
properly weighed; second, | will see
that all of the fine slack, iron ore AMI
rocks are carefully picked out of your
coal; third, when you go to a white
company you only ask the price of the
coal and then you Immediately pay the
white MAI for it, not knowing the o
dition of your coal until it is delivered
to your residence. Fourth, why not
come to my Office and pay the same
money you pay the white man? If
you decide to come and be convinced,
it will not be long until you will soon
discover your wide mistakes that you
have been making for these many
wears. | deliver all wholesale orders
with the companfeg' wagons which /
represent. Yours very truly,

PEARL High SCHOOL NOTES.

That was a trying ordeal the chill
dren went through last week, the semi
annual examination and graduation of
pupils. The questions came down
from the Fogg High School red hot.
The science questions were the hottest.
Some of the pupils got so badly
scorched that it will take them anoth-
er five months under DR.. Cameron to
get well.
Only four pupils in the entire
Science Department received a Roll of
Honor mark. The list below is self
explanatory.
Eleven pupils enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of graduating from the High
School and twenty-six from the Gram
mar School.
The school was favored this week
with a visit from Mrs. j. A. Davis and
her accomplished daughter, Miss Flos-
sic A. Davis, who is both a graduate
of the High School and of the Nor
NAL Department of Fisk University.
The capacity of the school is now
taxed to it's uttermost limit. The hall
up stairs and down stairs is full to

looks very grand with every seat oc-

CANS TO THE FRONT.

Joe Cans dropped in a few days ago.
Joe looked like a Bermuda millionaire
in his fur-lined coat and diamond
studded tie. 81 want to say" began
Cans after sitting down, that I'm
back in the ring. I've changed my
mind about giving up that champion
ship. | thought for a while that I'd
have to sit back and take it easy be-
cause there wasn't anyone for me to
fight, but l see that Mcfarland is COM
ing up and that Nelson has beaten
somebody and wants to fight me again.
So here l am"
Are you tired of the rest?" was ask
ed.
Eyes, sir" said Cans. 81 thought I'd
like it, but find l like the game a lit
tie better. I'd rather fight than lay
off, if there is only somebody for me to
fight. J~effries and l have the same
trouble. jeff can't get matches be-
cause he is so big and strong. l can't
get anyone to fight me in my class be-
cause | have too much knowledge of
the game. I'm the only one left of the
old-timers VIII. is still in good fighting
shape.

There aren't any great fighters now
a-days. Why, when | was doing my
hardest fighting the fighters %outclassed
the boys you see now. There aren't
any McFaddens or Hawkinses or Ernes
or Walcotts or Fitzsimmonses now.
They've all gone by and there amt
any new ones in their class. But there
amt any reason for me to stop fight
ing as long as l can get any one to
fight. I'm still at my best. | never
felt any pains. My hands are good.
And | know more than any of these
new fellows. You can gamble when l
feel age coming along Pm not going to
stay in the ring and get beaten up
like some of these fellows. l won't
need to-.
Il have earned $S1 900 in the past
sixteen months, and l haven't thrown
it away. I've got a good hotel and the
best cafe in Baltimore, and l W
every bit of it. It's mine. No liquor
company is behind me. I've put my
money in property, where it'll always
make a living for me. I've only done
done foolish thing. I thought I'd be
swell, and have an auto like the rest
of the millionaires. 1t cost me $50 1000,
and if | keep on running into things
I guess the repair bills will put me
down and out. It's being repaired in
the factory now.
81 used to rush to the race track
right after every fight and throw my
earnings away on the ponies. I didn't
lose much playing craps, as they say.
It was always the horses that got
mine. The last time l got trimmed
for $4,000 in a few days. I had given
all my money to my mother to take
care of, and I had to go to her for
the $4,000. I made up my mind to
quit right then. They keep after me
now wherever l co., but the bookies
won't get any more of mine. Nobody
living can beat that game"
