Jackson, July 25.-The negro Repub-
lican leaders in Mississippi who have
been thrown overheard by Col. Roose-
welt, and literally kicked out of the
new Progressive party, are hopping
mad about it, and If the ears of the
occupancy Of Sycamore Hill have been
tingling during the past few days, he
can attribute it to the sultry remarks
that are being made down in Dixie
concerning his personal and political
ingratitude.
The dull, sullen resentment that
these negro leaders have cherished
toward President Taft for the past few
years because of his failure to recog-
nize the race in the apportionment of
Federal offices in this state is not
circumstance as compared with the
blaze of indignation following the an
nouncement that the Progressive par
ty in Mississippi is to be exclusively
a white mans organization.
1t is currently reported that several
of the negro leaders who have thus
been communicated from all con
nection with political affairs are il
possession of some highly interesting
letters from Senator Dixon, campaign
manager for Col. Roosevelt, and tha
: there is likelihood of these epistles
: some of them marked Personal" be
ing made public within few days.

Interesting Argument
In the Circuit Court

our republican form Of government for
the same man to hold at one and the
same time position as legislator Judge
and executive, which the plea contends.
Mr.. Fuller is in fact attempting to
do, since he sets as a member OF the
board that makes ordinances or city
statutes, sits as a Judge to try those
charged with their violation, and ex-
ecutes the DEGREES of his own court.
D. E. Sullivan as attorney for the
city of Hattiesburg, demurred to the
pleas in the several cases mentioned
and admitted every fact set forth in
the pleas, but contended that while
the law providing for police justice
in towns of more than 1000 inhabitants
has not been repealed, the law OF 1908
absolutely transferred to and confer
red upon the commissioners of mu
nicipality, every function Of government
and empowered them to properly ant
personally discharge every govern
mental act pertaining to the affairs o
the city.
After hearing all the argumen
l Judge johnson announced that
( grave doubt existed in his mind as I
2 the constitutionality of the law, an
a the legality of Mr.. Fuller's 1udicii
n acts, but he would resolve the dou'
d in favor of the act and sustain the d
n INJURED, and it was so ordered.
