POOR HOUSE INMATES MENACE
Keeper Meyer of the City Poor Farm
Asks Council to Prevent the Sale of
Liquor to These Men by the Saloons
in the City.

George Meyer, at present custodian
of the city poor farm, has asked the
members of the common council to
pass an ordinance. which put all men
and women who are residents on the
poor farm on the blacklist and make
| it impossible for these people to buy
liquor in any of the saloons of the
city.
During the last few weeks Meyer
has had his own troubles in taking
care of the dependents of the city at
the poor farm and on last Thursday
night one of them e1me to the poor
farm in such an intoxicated condition
that he began to rave and before he
had been subdued he had threatened
to kill Keeper Meyer and several of
the inmates of the poor farm. This
is not an occasional occurrence, but it
is declared that nearly every time the
inmates slip into the city some of them
return so intoxicated that the keeper
is forced to fight with them during
the night. These men have only a
very limited amount of spending
money and for the most part it is Civ
en- to them by relatives in order to
allow them to buy clothes.
The movement promises to be big
one when it is started in the council
and some of the aldermen have de-
clared that they are willing to pass
an ordinance which will provide for
the blacklisting Of every man or
woman who is receiving aid from the
city. In many cases where the city
is forced to take care of families the
demand for aid from the city is the
direct result of intemperance of the
! father or mother of the family and
Notwithstanding the fact that the
family gets aid from the city the visits
to saloons continue and what little
money the paupers earn is spent over
the bars.
Alderman Werner, poormaster of the
city, is unable to prevent the expendi-
ture of money for liquor under the re-
cent scheme. In many cases the people
who are receiving aid from the city are
among the best customers OF the sa-
looms and general blacklist of these
people would undoubtedly meet with
strong opposition in some circles. 1t
would mean the addition of some
forty names to a permanent blacklist
In order to make any such ruling
more binding the council would be
forced to insist on more rigid en-.
forcement of the law providing against
the sale of liquor to blacklisted per
SOS
Alderman Werner is expected to lay
the request OF the keeper of the poor
farm before the council at the next
regular meeting and it is not thought
that there will be any opposition te
placing the inmates of the poor farm
on the blacklist, but it is probable
that any effort to include the entire
dependent list will meet with a fight.
Some facts in regard to the paupers
of the city are now being gathered
and it is expected that these will show
that such black list will go long
way toward cutting down the expense
of caring for paupers in the city.

One Of the developments of the cam
paign for nominations among the
democrats which appears to have start
ed already is that the names of men
who carried the banner of democracy
when running for a state Office on that
ticket which like taking noml-
nation on the republican ticket in
Mississippi are seldom mentioned at
this stage of the proceedings and
the names of men who of late
years have taken little part in
the council of the party are be-
ing brought prominently TO the fore.
1t is said that the men who have led
forlorn hopes in recent campaigns do
not take kindly to the idea of being
shelved now that it is believed there
is chance of party success and that
the prospects are good for some real
contests before the nominations are
settled.
