WHITE GIRLS
SOLD TO NEGROES

Port Gibson, Mississippi The
most remarkable case of social
equality practiced in Mississippi
has been brought to light by the
trial of Thomas Turner and Riley
Wheat, Negroes, 20 years old, on
the charge of being unlaw fully
married to two white girls-Ollie
Parker, 16, and her sister Mamie.
13.
The trial of the two Negroes
vas held before Magistrates Mar
tin and Coulson in the court house
at Port Gibson, although the Of
fence was committed in another
part of the country. An attempt
to conduct the trial there, it was
feared would result in a lynching
and events proved that this would
likely have been the result.
The evidence at the trial showed
that George d. Parker, father of
the white girls, had discovered the
intimacy between Turner and his
daughter, Ollie, and that Parker
had compromised with the Negro
on condition that he would bind
himself to labor the remainder of
his days for him without pay.
The Negro agreed and was per-
forming his part of the contract
faithfully.
Recently, according to the evil
dence, Parker also became init
mate with one of his daughters,
and the fact was discovered. He
was compelled to flee the country.
When the father left, the two
daughters resided openly with
their dusky husbands.
During the progress of the trial
a rush was made for the two Ne
groes by spectators, and in the
scuffle several pistols were dis
charged in the court room, but no
one was hurt. Deputy sheriffs
spirited the Negroes away.
The two girls charged with un-
lawful practice of social equality,
are in Jail awaiting trial, which
has been fixed for next week, and
a warrant has been issued for
Parker.-Ex.

Political Notes
Republican Party Fycng of the Hardest Battles known
in the History of the Party. CoOradOS Fight. The
Fidelity of the Negro Voters to the Party.

Though splendidly organized in
the nation, the Republican party is
facing one of the hardest battles
known to the history of the party.
The peculiar aggressive admins
tration policy of President Roose-
welt in his dealings with all public
questions and public men, has
served to quicken the conscious of
the nation as never before. Never
before were the people, the COM
,dnon, ordinary everyday people
more closely in touch with public
affairs, and possessed clearer in
sight into the workings of party
management than at present. 1t
has been the open frankness of
President Roosevelt = sometimes
seemingly brutal-that has en-
deared and commended him to all
classes and made the continuance
of HIS POLICIES more than any
thing else, the DEMAND of peo-
pie. The position of the President
and, consequently, of the Republi-
can party towards the Negro has
been the cause of much mixed COM
ment, and occasioned much loose
and really ignorant criticism on the
part of many not correctly in
formed or incapable of compre-
hending the truth in the mass of
conflicting statement and rumor.
There has at no. time been hostility
on the party of the President or
the party towards the race. The
past few years has witnessed the
rise of Tillman, Vardamann and
Dixon in the South whose vii
operative utterances have served
to fill the atmosphere with a multi
tude of sounds of the tinkling sym
Dol order. Sounds that pervert
hearing that which we should real
ly hear, and understand. The Re-
publican party stand as a bull
wark of defense for the right now
guaranteed our people by the Fed
eral constitution and the great
leaders of the party are laboring
quietly, with all zeal and earnest
ness for the enjoyment of greater
liberties and privileges. The sue
cess of the Republican party means
larger opportunities for the people
of our race. 1t means higher ideals
for the nations in the continuation
of the Roosevelt policy.

Washington, August 2S.-Mrs.

lieves to be colored man, induced

self off as a white man. Mrs.
Johnston declared today that for a
long time after her marriage in
1905 she did not suspect that her
husband was of African descent,
but that after the birth of twins
she became suspicious. Since
that time she said she looked for
Johnston's parents to get an idea
of his ancestry. She was not sue
cessful. Finally she asked her
husband about his birth. She de-
clares that lie answered her with
curses and blows.
