THE FIRE DEPARTMENT..

The committee appointed to con-
slider the additional apparatus for the
Fire Department will recommend the
purchase of an automobile hose wa
gon. Councilman Hackett and Chief
Baldwin visited Vincennes, Ind, and
inspected the "Webb Motor Hose
Wagon" They believe it is the
proper thing and the council will un-
doubtedly follow their recommends
ton
This is long step in the right d.
reetion. We have the most efficient
volunteer fire department of any city
IN the State and we should give them
adequate means to do the work.
We attended the reception given
by the fire boys Thursday night and
talked over the needs of the depart
ment somewhat. 3 1t was suggested
that two more men should be added
to the pay force to sleep in the en-
gine house. This question should
be taken up and considered by the
Council.
But we think one of the best things
the city can do now is to arrange
to have the old hose wagon stationed
somewhere in the north end of town.
That is the most exposed part of the
city and needs immediate protection.

DECREASE OF COLORED PEOPLE

A recent article in a local paper
gave some figures about the colored
population in this county and city
that are surprising to a stranger.
We were under the impression that
there had been an increase of both
races.
From this article it appears that
there has been an increase in the
white population but a very decided
decrease in the number of colored
people.
In 1894, there were in this city,
children of school age, white, 684;
colored 96S; 2S4 more colored than
white children of school age in the
city.
In 1908, the census shows 1,116
white and only 764 colored, showing
342 more white than colored children,
d gain of white children in fourteen
years of 442 and 2O2 decrease of
colored children.
In 1894 the whole county had a
school population of 1886 white and
202O' colored In 1908. it stood as
follows: 1923 white and 1899 col
ored, a loss of colored children in
the county of GIL.
These figures indicate decrease
Of the colored population in the
county of not less than 1000. If as
is claimed by one of Nhe political par
hes that the colored people have
moved away, the decrease can be un-
derstood; otherwise it shows that the
colored race is diminishing in num-
bers.

Through a Long TriaI-Juror Leigh
Charged With Perjury-Further De-
lay In the Trial of the Coopers For
Shooting Carmack.
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 29.-In the
trial Of the Coopers and John Sharp
for the shooting of Former Senator
Carmack, Judge Hart made the fol-
lowing ruling in the case of Juror
Leigh: II have given the case care
full consideration, weighing the testi-
mony for and against the juror. The
charge of drunkenness is controvert-
ed, but it is evident that the juror is
biased, and as such the retaining OF
him would make the jury a preju
diced one. Therefore l excuse Mr..
Leigh from service"
1t developed that Juror Whitworth,
one of the men accepted, is in deli
cate health and that his physical con-
dition, as represented by his physi-
clan, is such as to cause the court
grave uneasiness as to his ability to
continue in the box through a long
trial. Under these conditions it is
considered possible that Judge Hart
will excuse him.
The defense served notice that it
would ask the court to dismiss the
eight men left on the jury on the
ground that the dismissal of Leigh
had prejudiced the others against the
defendants. The formal motion to
this effect will be filed later.
The first witness against Juror
Jackson swore that the juror, who is
a blacksmith, would put a shoe or
two on horse, collect for the work
and go three miles to saloon for a
drink before he would finish the job.
Squire Lewis, who has lived near
Jackson for 20 years. saw him sober
once in the 25 years. At this point
the defense admitted that Jackson
was unfit and consented to his dis
missal. This leaves seven men il
the box
The court next read a letter from
Mrs. ]. NJ. Whitworth concerning her
husbands condition. He said two
physicians agreed that Whitworth's
condition was such that to have him
serve might mean his death. Under
such circumstances Judge Hart said
he felt it best to relieve Mr.. Whit
worth, who was the fifth juror chosen.
The state objected to Whitworth's
dismissal, and the court ordered the
physicians summoned forthwith. De-
cision was reserved.
Juror Leigh was arrested in the
clerks Office on a charge of perjury
and bound over to the grand jury. He
gave a $500 bond.
