tion, and increased Marshal Ed
gar Tisdsls's salary from $50 tc
$50 a month owing to the i'm.
position of the additional duties
of street com missioner during the
spring and summer months.
Mr.. TisdaIe had been serving
as marshal and iig hting the street
lamps all fall and winter at $50 a
month.
Mayor j. T. Dewey opposed
the increase in Mr.. Tisdsle's sal.
sry, but the board of aldermen
favored the increase and it was
80 ordered.
Now the COURIER is wondering
why the council didn't let the
jobs of lighting the street lamps
and street commissioners out to
"the lowest bidder" just as it did
with the small amount of printing
for the April, 1910, city election.
But no bids were asked in the
Tisdsle case and we presume the
board must have forgotten it.
Too bad, isn't it?

| A certain newspaper, whose
editor has slime and slander
where decency and brains ought
to oe, made q dirty and damna.
BILE insinustion in his issue of last
week regarding a piano contest.
The contemplate act was in
keeping with the true character
of the man CD who did it. When
he was confronted with conclu.
sive proofs that his charge was
utterly without foundation, 80
far as the manager of the piano
contest was concerned, he
promised to right the slander
and base wrong, but subse quent.
ly failed to keep his promise-in
fact, fatty refused to do so.
1t was found, as we already
believed, that his manhood wac
short and that the cur predomi.
mated In his makeup.
We will give this loathsome
creature the entire receipts of
the piano contest if he can prove
that the management has done q
single thing dishonorable during
the contest or has not treated
every contestant with absolute
fairness and impartiality.
"That coon in the persimmon
tree" is further down the street.
Though it may be only a sorrel
scrub monkey hanging by its
tail over a certain feed store.
IL conclusion We will say that
all of the correspondence of our
endeavor to run to earth the |
sender of a package of supposed
bogus voting coupons is on file
at this office, and anyone interest
ed Is at pei feet liberty to come
in and read all of these letters.
Those who want to know the
truth Of this affair can get it
through his correspondence,
while he who persists in malio-
iously lying about it, at the
same time admitting that it is
none of his business, and would
not make correction after
proofs were submitted to him
showing that no blame could
attach to the management of
the contest, will be called to a
strict account in the last Great
Day, and fire and brimstone and
torment will be his
portion in the world to come "ss
,ure "a shooting"
But Il tits none of his business,
Is he admits, why does he

md refuse to remove it? Since |

A lot Of negroes congregated
at the home of Nan Wheeler,
COL, in the south part of town
Saturday night. Most, il not all.
OF them were tsnked up on some
kind of an Intoxicating bev.
erage, probably hard cider, and
proceeded to make the night

noise and by offensive and
indecent conversation and by
quarrelling and fighting.

turbed, and Wm. Lentz sought
vengeance and had a city war.
rant issued for the festive
African-Americans, and seven
arrests were made shortly before
midnight by Constable james
Worsham and City Marshal
Edgar Tisdsle as follows:
Corby Shears, Azor Johnson,
Wallace Duncan, Heber Page,
Lille Strother, Emma Barton
and Fannie Parrish. They were
all escorted before Acting Mayor
c. F. Lsmkin Saturday night
and sent to Jail.
The four negro bucks, Shears,
Johnson, Duncan and Page, pied
guilty before Acting Mayor
Lamkin Sunday morning to the
charge of disturbing the peace,
a fine of 81 and costs, amounting
to So 40, each, was assessed
ag ainst them, and on which they
were given a stay of execution
until Friday, April 10.
The three negro women were
arraigned before Mayor j. T.
Dewey Monday morning, and on
a plea of guilty Fannie Parrish
was given the same dose as her
male consorts, while Emma Bar
ton and Lille Strother were sent
to Jail for five days. They wept
freely over the nature of their |
punishment, but the mayor
stood "hitched," and they will
have to serve their sentence.
'Rsh for the mayor for once,
at least.
The joke of this case is that
Emma Barton was q sub-cook

but he didn't know it when he
