Woodville Republican.
Judge NJ. FL. Wilkinson. of this
district is making life burden for
white men who are guilty of unlaw-
full Capitalization, wherever he holds
court, and in LlRcoln county the
sheriff stood trial on a charge of this
nature last week. The evidence was
entirely circumstantial, and the jury
was unable to agree on verdict, al
though ten out of the twelve jurors
stood for conviction. Judge Wilkin-
son is to be commended on the stand
he has taken for the enforcement of
the law in this particular, as the
practice of white men living with ne
gro women is the crying shame of
this day and time. Hew to the line
Judge. and let the chips fall where
they may.

About one of the most debaslng
things that has come upon the peo-
pie, is the criminal charge of unlaw-
full cohabitation or miscegenation ex-
listing between whitemen and negro
women. From several places comes
the nauseating news of indictments
by the courts for this grave offence
We hope that the courts will be able
to convict the last one of them.

The sweet and gracious little flow

Although housekeeping and home

Although housekeeping and home
making are the most important of
all things, yet they are sought after
the very least. Girls get married
who do not know how to make a
loaf of bread or boil a potato, cx-
pecting somehow that these things
will take care of themselves, and
they can live happy with man in
his ignorance, knowing too that the
heart and stomach of q man are so
friendly that they cannot be sepera-
ted. Ignorance cannot be made
bliss in housekeeping, and there is
no surer way to lose the respect of
a husband than to spoil his dinner.
He cannot thrive long on purely u
love diet.

The Word wife"

What do you think the beautiful
word wife comes from? Wife
means weaver. You must either
be housewives or housemoths, re-
member that in the deep sense, you
must either weave mems. fortunes
and embroider them, or feed upon
and bring them to decay. Wherev-
a true wife comes, home is always
around her. The stars may be over
her head, the glow-worm in the
night S cold grass may be the fire at
her feet; but home is where she is.

Obituary.

Mrs. Lucy Ann Bailey, the sub feet of this sketch, was born in Havereh ,m county, Georgia. June i, 1S41, and departed this life August IS, 1909. She moved to Arkansas in 1850, and since that data this has been her home. Sh1 was married to A. T. Bailey, Jan. 31. 1861. She leaves behind a sorrowing husband and two daughters Mrs. May Walker oi Stamps, and Mrs. W. A. l.. Waters of Irma. She joined the Missionary Baptist church in 1870 and has ever been a devout and consistent member. Next after her family she regarded her church high ly. Always jovial and congenial. And to know her was to love her. In her death the family has lost a priceless jewel and the cOmmun- ity can never forget her good works and words of c OmfOrt , good will and cheerfulness but Heaven has been made brighter.
 How comforting it is to the believer in Christ to know that where she is we can(go and meet her again. When we see the end of a beautiful Christian life like hers we are made to 1exclaim, 70 Death where is thy sting? O Grave where is thy victory"
 She passed away without a struggle, without a murmer. She had not complained of being un- well; and on bringing her some water where she had laid down to rest the husband found that the spirit had gone back to the God who gave it. Grieve not for her for we hope to meet again.

The Poor Brideoroon.

"Even the English language empha- sizes the insignificance of a man at his own wedding" said the prospective bridegroom disconsolately. There isn't an independent word to designate him. He is merely called the groom of the bride, as if he were just about on a level with the bridesmaids and a lit tie below the maid of honor Best man, of course, means the bridegroom s best man. but the phrase itself tends to exalt this individual at the expense of his superior.

JACK scULLY's STATEMENT.
Honolulu, July II. 10

Honolulu, July II, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: There has been
considerable rumor afloat regarding my
connection with the Sullivan Cordell
return boxing contest, to take place at
the Star Theater on the Gath of July,
and in reply, beg to say few words:
In the first place, I would like the
public TO understand that in promoting
this contest ] an entirely alone.
Neither the liquor interests nor any
one else is interested. in the slightest
degree. / alone viii bear the success
or failure of this enterprise, and in con-
Quoting it, am the instrument of no
ones spite, for it is simply matter
of business to me.
It has been said that I have used
underhand methods in getting this re-
turn match away from Mr. Cohen. This
statement is absolutely false, and /
challenge Mr. Cohen or anyone else to
prove the contrary. IF anyone has
been underhand in this matter, it has
been Cohen and not I. For when he
found that he could not pull off the
match himself, he did everything in his
power to make the affair under my
management failure. He has even
gone so far as to not only make ar
rangements for contests at the Orpheum
on the night of the Sullivan Corden
bout, but has so arranged matters with
his boxers that in the event the Sui
Ivan Cordell contest did not take
place on the oath, that he would call
his show off for that night, and retain
their services for the 31st Anything
FOR opposition. This, I consider to be
" dog-in the manger" tactics, and done
only for the purpose of drawing the
crowd away from the SullivanCordell
go.
I never made any attempt to get the
return contest away from him, and it
was only after be had made a public
statement in the Advertiser of July
11th, declaring the match off, that I
made overtures to Sullivan and Cordell;
and in doing so | was prompted not
only from business motives, but from
love of the game as well. If Mr..
Cohen can see anything underhand in
this, I must say that his ideas of fair
business dealing are strange, to say the
least.
| will endeavor to give the public a
good, clean fair show, and so far as /
am concerned. the best man will win.
Thanking YOU for your space, I am,
Respectfully yours,
JACK SCULLY.

MIR. sULLIvAN's STATEMENT.
Honolulu. July II. 1909.


Editor Advertiser: Inasmuch as
there seems to be considerable misun,
Outstanding in the public mind concern.
ing the return match between Jack
Cordell and myself, take this means
of giving my side of it.
l wish to say at the outset, that my
relations with Mr.. Cohen have always
been and still are of friendly nature.
He has treated me fairly, and our bust
ness dealings have been satisfactory to
me.
| had expected to 60 on with the
return match with Cordell under the
management of Mr.. Cohen, but when
it was declared off by Mr.. Cohen for
the reason that he would not pay Cor
dell the amount he asked for. I saw
no reason why I should not accept an
offer made by another management. l
had no contract whatsoever with Mr..
Cohen and would as soon box for him
as anyone else. When Mr.. Cohen de.
elared the return match off, and not
having any contract with him, I GER
tainly felt that / was free to box for
anyone offering inducement for nv ser
vices, and had Cohen made satisfactory
arrangements with Cordell it would
have been perfectly agreeable to me
to go on at the Orpheum under his
management
Thanking you for the space. I am,
Sincerely yours.
