to Commissioner. Jackson, who stated
that the cross walks between down
town and the church were In good
condition, better, for instance, than
those leading to the Presbyterian
church. and that as soon as the city
engineer returned to give him meas
urements he would order stone for
additional crossings
Commissioner Lucas reported favor
ing the petition of the Bismarck De-
velopment Company requesting the
water company to extend its mains
through Riverview Addition and plac-
ing a hydrant at Hannifin and Thayer
streets. He also introduced resolu'
ton to carry this Recommendation
into effect IA we'll as to have the
mains extended down. Main Street
from First to- Washington Avenue,
and to place q hydrant on Main and
WASHINGTON. After considerable dis
cussion the consideration Of the resoi
ution was postponed for two weeks.
Commissioner Jackson thought that II
the work were done that It might In
terfere with the .nullifying OF the
water company's franchise, an ordtn
ance for which has already been intro
duced.
The Pioneer Fire Company re-
quested that the city take steps to.
ward the erection Of fire house and
the purchase Of needed supplies for
the fire department. The letter was
referred to Commissioner Marquett.
Commissioner German already had
resolution ready for Introduction call
ing on the president to appoint q
committee of three for the purpose OF
comforting with an architect to OBJ
tain sketches of suitable building
for a fire house, said committee to re
port at the next meeting. The presi-
dent appointed Commissioners Mar
Quett, Geierman and Jackson on such
committee.
The ordinance prohibiting the use
of blank cartridges and fire crackers
over the size of three inches long by
one.half> inch in diameter was de-
fsrred for another week, but Comm'r
MarQuett was instructed to notify all
the dealers Of the city that such an
ordinance would be passed so the
dealers would not lay In stock Of
those goods.
The usual bunch of bills were al
lowed. The city auditor announced
he would not issue any warrants for
large amounts in the future where
the city was not first advertised for
bids for the work to be done. He
stated that on upper Sixth Street
some lots had been filled in by the
city from surplus dirt from the ex'
cavation on Ave. c, when a good por'
ton of the dirt could have been used
in nearby streets which needed fill
ing and he thought the owner Of the
lots should pay the city for the filing;
that the city had frequently in the
past had to pay private parties fol
dirt placed on the streets from cellars
and it was only fair that the city
should receive pay from lot owners

NOAH CASE THIS WEEK
Has been Granted a New Trial or
~ s2! Ttehnicality.

The Noah trial will begin in Minot
this week. Noah was taken back
from the state penitantiary some time
ago and has been held in the Ward
county 5afl pending the opening OF the
district court.
The Noah case is a peculiar one.
He was once sentenced to be hanged
for murder on plea of guilty, and a
few days before the time for his ex.
ecution at the state pehitentiary. an
appeal was taken. The supreme
court granted him a new trial, be-
cause of errors in receiving the plea
of guilty, which did not specify the
offense to which the plea was entered.

A Suggestion to County Police

Dear Sir:-There are so many
crimes being committed by loafng
and unknown negroes that / want to
suggest remedy. And if you will
take hand and push it with your
usual energy you can get it estab-
lished.
If the Legislature will pass an act
establishing a criminal record, and
have paper published by the State
once week and sent to every
sheriff, bailiff and marshal in the
State, free, giving the name and de-
scription of all criminals that have
escaped (convicts), I think crimes
would diminish, because it would be
hard matter for a man to get away
and stay in this State if every officer
had description of him.
If such a law is passed the arrest
ing and detention fee should be
vouched for by an officer, then all
officers would keep his record with
him and if he saw stranger he
would look at his paper and see if
he was wanted anywhere.
I served as bailiff six years, and
negro convict worked for a neigbor
two years before I knew he was an
escaped convict.
If this or something similar was
established I think it would reduce
crime, and would cost the State moth
ing in comparison to what it would
save in crimes, costs Of trial and
loss to farmers by negroes leaving
them in busy crop time.
Officers arresting parties described
in the record should be required to
notify the editor of such arrest so
his name could be taken off the list.
This State could have a co-ouera-
tive column for other States passing
such a law, and desiring space in
paper and giving Georgia space in
theirs.
Now, Mr.. Watson, if you will, you
can cause the people to take interest

KNOCKS THAT OUTRAGEOUSLY
UNJUST LOCAL SCHOOL-TAX.

UNJUST LOCAL SCHOOL-TAX.
My Dear Sir:-I see in last weeks
Jeff that one w. w. Jester, of Rich
land, Ga, has a long article advo-
eating local tax for public schools"
in which he seems to want to score
you for opposing it, but stands be-
hind a high board fence and prods
you through the cracks. I gather
from the drift of his letter that he is
like the tax advocates of this dis
trict, has very little property to pay
on and has big family to educate"
He says, when once tried it will
prove so good that it will be kept
up, but it does not prove so here.
1t was on us three years by vote of
eight out of about one hundred
qualified voters, the others knowing
nothing about the election, as it was
not advertised. After it was voted
in, the district lines were changed to
cut us down to about forty voters.
And as soon as the law was amended
to allow another vote on it, it was
voted out nineteen to six in this dis
trict, and six to two in a, district in
the northern part of this (Decatur)
county. 1t will also be voted out by
big majority in the district joining
this on the south as soon as the three
years expires that it has been in
vogue. He grows poetic in advising
Mr.. Brown to vote for local tax and
help the heather at his door. His
statement that it enhances the value
OF land in the community where
there is local school tax to almost
double what it was before it was
voted in, is entirely wrong as to this
county, for our lands here were none
for sale at SIS to $25 per acre be-
fore it was voted in, and now there
are no buyers at So to $40. Mr.. Jes-
ter says tell Mr.. Brown to write Mr..
Pound, who will convince him that
local tax is good; of course, if Mr..
Brown reads only such matter as
comes from the State School Com
missioner's office. A man to whose
interest it is to have high tax,
would be convinced, but if he is a
thinking man and reads both sides,
he may be little harder to convince
that local tax is right than Mr.. Jester
seemingly would have him be. And
l think, instead of bowling for more
taxes, if the people would read up on
the free schools of Georgia, the SEN
timent against it would be so strong
that the Legislature would be forced
to abolish the whole system, for it
is the greatest curse ever put on this
State.
If the children for whom it was
gotten up got any benefit of it, it
would not be so bad, but those who
are able to pay tuition are the ones
getting it all, and ignorance and il
literacy runs rampant through the
land, and taxes piling higher every
year.
l did not intend to write so much
when 1 started, but could not say
what wanted to with less. Nor have
l said all feel, for I can not express
my feelings as l would like to, for
in the free schools we are educating
the negro, which / have always OBJ
jected to strenuOusly.

Please give us space for the proof
OF "A Negro Fraud and an Imposter
Before the Mixed Meeting in Dublin"
A friend of the editors of the Laurens
County Herald saw Notice of Warn
ing in the Wesleyan Christian Ad-
vocate and handed it to them for
their benefit. They had already been
lighting this negro on the grounds
that they believed that he was an
lmpOster by what they had read in
his book that seemed impossible.
After seeing this notice of warning
they wrote to the man whose name
was signed to it for better proof.
The following is the letter of warn
ing as it appeared in the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE! A
man named D. d. Lewis, purporting
to be an African maintaining mis-
sionaries in Africa, came to Paine
College. We detected him writing
letters to himself as if they came to
him from Africa. In other ways we
discovered him to be fraud, and
dismissed him from our school. He
is in no wise connected with it.

protection for the public.

name is signed to the above the fol-
lowing is what they received.
Augusta, Ca, April IL, 1910.
"Messrs. Stallings & Campbell,
Dublin, Ga.
Dear Sirs:-Your letter of in
Quiry about D. D. Lewis reached me
today. A letter came to him pur-
porting to be from Louisville, Africa.
1t was supposed to be forwarded to
him from New Orleans. In examin-
ing the envelope there was no stamp
on it as received in New Orleans, or
as forwarded. When asked about
this defect, he said that it had been
brought to him from New Orleans
by the porter on the sleeper. He
gave the name of the porter. On
inquiry there was none of that name
in the employ of the road. Uncle
Sam does not intrust letters to por-
tiers!
Zone of our young men became so
infatuated with Lewis statement
that he consulted me and was going
to study medicine as an equipment
for more extensive usefulness as
missionary, intending to return with
Lewis to Africa. This student wrote
to Louisville, Africa, to the person
Lewis directed him to for proof of
his truthfulness. After two months
the letter was returned, stating that
there was no such postoffice. Yet
Lewis had his letters stamped with
a stamp Louisville, Africa as if it
were a postoffice stamp.
when he left school he reported
to Bishop R. T. Williams. The Bish-
op expressing himself as in some
doubt as to the genuineness of the
letters, the Bishop received a tele-
gram giving corroborative state
ment of Lewis genuineness. There
being misspelt words in the telegram
aroused still further his doubts. Co.
ing to the telegraph office, he found
out that no such telegram had been
received, but that Lewis had used a
blank, written out a message, and
sent it out by a messenger boy whom
he hired.
''These three facts were enough to
satisfy us that he was fraud:
