Jones County saIoonIst Beaten.

Monticello, Dec. 27-Contrary to the
expectations of almost every one in
the county, the saloon men failed to Sc
cure the required number Of signers to
their consent petitions and after the
first of July next will be compelled to
quit business. They were beaten so
badly that 1t was found unnecessary to
canvass the two largest towns of the
county, namely Monticello and Ana
mosa. Almost rs per cent OF the
names on the petitions were wiped out
as either defective, repeated or vol
unfairly withdrawn. 1t is thought that
the saloon men will get out with an
other petition in January, but their
success is not looked for.

en- rights which are denied to honest
God-fearing Afro-American citizens.
NOT A SPECIAL RACIAL DE-
PRAVITY.

The Afro-American has been often
and severely censured on account OF
his having changed his 'lcnginf fur
de ole plantation" to longin'' to
hike to town and there abide. :,
This has been attributed by South
ern savans to special racial deprav-
ity, to which the superior race was
not subject, but the latest develop
ment upon the subject shows that the
white man is doing exactly what the
Afrc-American has been so berated
for doing: that is, moving to town.
Very eminent authorities are salts
fed that if the present conditions con-
tinue, in few years our population
will not produce enough for it's own
consumption and will be compelled to
import what it now exports.
During the past year, Argentine, for
the first time, exported more grain
than this country did; anG Of, course,
bought all her supplies from the coun-
tries to which she sold her products.
The Appeal., 1910-02-19
IN GOOD (?) OLD GEORGIA.

There is great excitement in
Georgia. In MANY places white men
and boys are in mobs on the streets
and whenever they see an Afro-Ameri-
car man or woman wearing the badge
of any secret order, they walk up and
pull it off.
Even members Of the Grand Army
of the Republic are not allowed to
wear a brass button of their order.
If they do they are sent to the chain
gang for sixty days.
This is said to be done by way of
reprisal, because of the objections
made by certain Northern Grand
Army men to admitting the statue of
Robert e. Lee to the Hall of Fame
Now just why the Afro-American
should he held responsible for the
action OF some people in the North
| is little hard to see. 1t is the opin
ion Of THE APPEAL that Genera
Lee would regard such petty mean
ness with abhorrence.

ABSURD ARGUMENTS.

The relation Of the larger universi
ties Of the United States to the prac
tical problems of existence is being
emphasized in an astonishing degree
nowadays. If the notion of cloistered
halls where pale-faced students pore;]
over musty tones once held sway
that idea has entirely disappeared
The dominant thought appears to be-
how can the training of the schools
be made most useful in bettering the
conditions of human life-Chicagc
Tribune.
THE APPEAL quotes the foregoing
as an excellent sample of absurd ar
guments respecting education. 1t is
based upon the assumption that edu
cdtional courses that "once held
sway" had no relation to the ''condi
tions of human life"
But, when pale-faced student dis

VERDICT FOR AFRo.AMERIcAN

VERDICT FOE AFRO-AMERICAN.
Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent, an Afro
American woman, has been awarded
a verdict for $3.50 damages against the
Great Falls & Old Dominion Railway
Company for alleged false arrest, by
jury in the Circuit Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. -'. H.. f..
The plaintiff was a passenger in
August, 1906, on a car from George
town to Livingston Heights, in Vir-
ginia; she was seated in the third seat
from the rear of the car, and when
Virginia was reached the conductor,
acting under the Jim crow car law of
Virginia., directed her to move to the
second seat from the rear. When
she declined he caused another en-
ploe Of the road, known as a special
officer for Fairfax county, but not for
Alexandria county, to place her under
arrest. She was taken to Great Falls,
it was testified, then to Rosslyn, and
to the Alexandria county Jail, from
which place she was released about
midnight.
It was great outrage and Mrs.
Brent ought to have gotten the $780,
OCO she sued for. It is. however. re-
marhable that she was awarded $75G,
as the usual award in Jim crow cases
in the District is one cent and costs.
The Appeal., 1910-02-19
"DIxIE." J"

Since one of the government music
men has raised a terrible storm by
prono,lncing Dixie the most popu-
lar national song, it seems meet for
THE APPEAL to say its say about
the matter; and that say is that in it's
opinion Dixie is of unmistakable
Negro origin. aud was probably writ
ten and arranged by Dan Emmett
from what he had heard the Negroes
Of his company sing.
Indeed, old Dan, in his account of
the way he came to write the song,
almost admits the fact; for he says:
s'When caught in inclement weather,
the Negroes with the circus were
wont to wish they were back in Dix
leland This undeniable proof of the
Negro origin of the song which old
Dan Emmett caught and wrote off.
Another, once very popular song
listen to the Mocking ird''-orig-
mated in the same way, and the mu-
sician who wrote it off made no Sc
cret of the matter, but admitted that
he caught it from "Whistling Dick,
who was accustomed to sing and per-
form on the streets of Philadelphia.
THE APPEAL is of the opinion
that Dixie" is about as fit as 'sYan.
kee Doodle" for our national song.
