pursuers, went boldly toward the

Der fell, shot through. the abdomen.

NO JOBS FOR DEMOCRATS.
Negro Census Ennmerators to Be Ap.
pointed in Some Counties.

washington Cor. News and Courierp
Applicans for positions as supervi-
sors of the census in South Carolina
should apply to l.. w. C. Blalock and
j. G. Capers. For some time repeat
ed efforts have been made to ascer-
tain what me of policy Director Du-
rand, of the census bureau, would
follow with regard to the appoint
ment OF census supervisors In the
South, especially in South Carolina
Mr., Durand has apparently been as
much In the dark as any one else,
but gradually, little by little, his
plans are unfolding.
1t is learned through one of the
South Carolina members that Demo-
Gratis are to fare very poorly when
the appointments are made, If. in.
deed, any at all are recognized that
all applications, whether from Demo
Gratis or Republicans, must have the
Blalock-Capers "OK" before they
Will be given consideration; and that
lastly, in counties like Beaufort and
Charleston, where there Is a large
negro population, the latter are to
be rewarded with appointments as
enumerators in many of the sections
where the negroes outnumber the
whites.
Representative Patterson, who saw
Director burand about the matter.
Informed the director that it would
not do to appoint negro enumerators,
and he further informed him that
SO far as the white people of Beau
fort and other counties in South Car
olina are concerned, they would not
stand for it. 1t was then PRACTICAL,
decided that negroes should work
only In negro sections and white men
in white sections. 1t came out in
the interview that Capers and Bla &.
lock would probably advise all ap-
plications before final action.
From all over South Carolina ap-
plications for these places are pour
ing In, but no appointments would be
made, this correspondent was inform
ed, before October
