HOOPER DID NOT
ORDER REMOVAL OF
WIDOWS PENSION
CAPT. GALLOWAY SAYS REGU-
LAR DEMOCRATS COULD HAVE
PREVENTED IF DESIRED.
WAS MEMBER OF COMMITTEE
Regulars Making Great Hvrrah
Over Something Tina They Are
Themselves Responsible for
Names the Committee.

Taking note of the fact that the
regular" Democrats throughout the
state including Benton McMillin
candidate for governor, continues tc
charge that Gov. Hooper ordered the
$4,000 appropriation for the widows
of confederates cut out of the gen
eral appropriations bill of the last
Legislature, Capt. w. T. Galloway
makes emphatic denial of the
charge.
Capt. Galloway was member OF
the legislature, and was member
of the conference committee from
the lower house, and knows what he
is talking about, and says the regu-
lars could have easily prevented the
removal of any item from the bill as
they were in the majority on the
committee. There were six mem
bers of the committee; three of
these were regulars, one republican
who affiliated with them on all ques-
tons, on independent democrat tMr.
Galloway and one republican, show
ing four to two. Capt. Galloway's
statement touching on the matter
follows:
81 notice that certain parties are
charging that the cutting out of the
$4,000 appropriation for pensioning
the widows of Confederate soldiers
by the conference committee of the
Senate and the House at the last
session of the legislature, was alone
at the suggestion and insistence of
Governor Hooper.
I'm the interest Of Justice, truth
and fairness hereby state as q
member Of that committee who was
present at every session OF the COM
mittee and all the time, that this is
not true. The Governor never ut
tered one word concerning it.
The committee was composed
of the following members:
Hill McAlister, Irregular Democrat;)
A. A. Adams, Irregular Democracy
John C. Houk, Republican, affiliat-
ing with the regular Democrats;)
making three from the senate. On
the part of the house were G. NJ
Miller, Irregular Democracy J. X P.
Marshal, Irregular Republican, and
w. T. Galloway, independent Demo
crat.) The first four we're oppon-
ents of Hooper's administration; the
last two supported him.
"The item was already in the bill
and the three regular Democrats
could have retained the item had
they wished to have done so. Again,
with the aid of Houk, making two
thirds majority, they could have in
serted what they wished.
Hooper and McCabe of the Comp
troller's Office were present all the
time at the request OF the commit
tee.

UNCONSCIOUS TILL
DEATH RELIEVES
HIS SUFFER|NGS
TOM MCDONALD BREATHEs HIS
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT AT
6 O'CLOCK.
BASE OF SKULL FRACTURED
Funeral From Residence of Sister at
Riverside, Burial at Rose Hill This
Afternoon, Services Conducted by
Elder klingman.

After being unconscious for forty
two hours, never being rational for
one moment, Tom Mcdonald, the vic
tim of the assault on Tuesday night
at his place Of business on South
Main street, died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Felix Derryberry, Thurs
day night at 6 o'clock.
His father, his wife and four sons,
ranging in age from twelve to two
years, were present at the time of
his death.
But little of a definite character
can be obtained regarding the diff
Guilty that led to the assault which
resulted in McDonalds death. The
police were called to the place an
hour or more before Mcdonald was
injured, on report that there was a
fight in progress, but this was denied
on the arrival of the officers. There
was evidence, however, that scrim-
mage had been in progress, but moth
ing could be learned from McDon-
aid, Stages, Ben Davis and one or
two others who were present.
Later the officers decided they
would go back and investigate, and
started to the place again when they
were alarmed by a call for the po-
lice by Lon Saggs who was on the
sidewalk without his hat, and who
made the statement that he had
struck Mcdonald to protect himself.
The officers found Mcdonald behind
the counter on the floor in an uncon-
scious condition, and from this he
never recovered. Physicians were
secured and an examination disclos-
ed the fact that the mans skull was
fractured, and the physicians held out
no hope for his recovery from the be-
ginning.
Stages was transferred to the coun-
ty Jail Thursday morning by state
warrant sworn out by McDonald's ia
Their charging him with assault to
commit murder in the first degree.
The funeral will be held at the les
idence of Felix Derryberry at River
side this afternoon at 2:3O o'clock,
interment to follow at Rose Hill GEM
etery.
Services will be conducted by Elder
w. T. Boaz, assisted by Elder W. G.
Klingman.

FIGURES ON BOSTON
AND NEW YORK BALL
GAMES LAST WEEK
MOST REMARKABLE EVER PLAY
ED IN MANY WAYS AND IN.
TEREST UNIVERSAL.
BETTING IN new YORK
Players on Boston Club Get More
Than Four Thousand Dollars While
New York fiayers Receive Above
Twenty-Five Hundred.


The Boston Red Sox are the cham
pions in baseball, and the heretofore
unbeaten Matthewson, pitcher of the
New York Giants, went down in de-
feat.
/ The series was the most remarka-
BILE ever played. There was no post
ponements There were eight bat
ties to decide the honor One game
went eleven innings to a tie. A ten
inning game was necessary to decide
the contest. The largest score was
IL to and the smallest 2 to 1. Not
one of the games was a shut out The
receipts and attendance broke all re-
cords for similar events. AS a re-
suit of the last game it is estimated
that 100000 changed hands. 1t is
stated that one member of the New
York Exchange bet over $4,000, and
that others bet large sums from time
to time.
The New York brokers have been
expressing satisfaction that it Is all
owed, for from the beginning of the
series in New York at the Polo
grounds help was at premium Mes
senger boys and clerks elbowed each
other arond the tickers and left bus
mess to take care of itself. Wall
Street contributed $4,000 to $4,000
to the gate receipts.
The total paid attendance for the
series of eight games was 252,O37.
The total receipts were $490,833 The
share of each club was $147, 028.85.
The share of the National Commits
sion was $49,0S3.SO.
The players shade from the first
four games only was $147,471.69. OF
this amount the Boston club receives
60 per cent or ssS,543.O1. The New
York players received $59,02S. SO.
Each player on the Boston team will
receive for his individual share
$4.024.6S, and the players on the New
York team $2,566.46.
These figures in every case are
greater than those of any previous
worlds series, and when Snodgrass
dropped the fly that cost the New
York team the game and the series
he dropped approximately $500 for
himself and twenty-five other team
mates.

say that a large proportion of the

ruE SHIFTING OF OCCUPATIONS

THE SHIFTING OF OCCUPATIONS
In recent years there has been
a great shifting Of employment be-
tween the races. A few years ago
all the rough work in the mines,
on the railway, and elsewhere was
performed by Irish immigrants.
Now this work is done by Poles,
Hungarians, and Italians. The
cities like New York, Chicago, and
Pittsburg one finds today fewer
colored people employed as hotel
walters, BARRIERS, and porters than
twenty years ago. In New York,
however many colored men are
employed in the streets and in the
subways. In Pittsburg thousands
of colored are employed in the iron
mills. In Chicago Negroes are
employed very largely in the pack
ing-houses Twenty years ago in
these cities there were almost no
colored people in these industries
In addition to the changes have
mentioned, many colored people
have gone into businesses of var
ious kinds on their own account.
1t should be remembered, also that
while in some trades and in some
places discrimination is made
against the Negro, in other trades
and in other places this discrimi-
nation works in his favor. The
case in point is the Pullman-car
service. [ question whether any
white man, however efficient, could
secure job as Pullman-car por-

THE BALLOT TO THE INTELLIGENT
NEGRO
No influence could ever make me
desire to go back to the conditions
of Reconstruction days to secure
the ballot for the Negro. That
was an order of things that was
bad for the Negro and bad for the
white man. In most Southern
States it is absolutely necessary
that some restriction be placed up
on the used of the ballot. The ac-
tual methods by which this re-
striction was brought about have
been widely advertised, and there
! is no necessity for me discussing
them here, At the time these
measures were passed L urged that,
whatever law went upon the stat
ute books in regard to the use of
the ballot, it should apply with alb
solute impartiality to both races.
This policy L advocate again in
justice to both white man and Ne
gro.
Let me illustrate what [ mean.
In a certain county of Virginia,
where the county board had charge
of registering those who were vot-
ers, colored man, graduate of
Harvard University, who had long
been a resident of the county, a
quiet, unassuming man, went be-
fore the board to register. He was
refused on the ground that he was
not intelligent enough to vote.
Before this colored man left the
room a white man came in who was
so intoxicated that he could scarce
ly tell where he lived. This white
man was registered, and by board
of intelligent white men who had
taken an oath to deal justly in ad-
ministering the law.
Will any one say that there is
wisdom or craftsmanship in such
policy as that? In my opinion
it is fatal mistake to teach young
black man and the young white
man that the ordinance of the
white race in the South rests upon
any other basis than absolute JUS
tice TO the weaker man. 1t is
mistake to cultivate in the mind
of any individual or group of in
dividuals the feeling and belief
