McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1914-09-11

Presiding Elder J. NJ. Mitchell, of
jackson, was the prominent spirit in
the colored meetings here last week,
including the woman's missionary So
ciety and the Sunday School conven-
yention. There were several promi-
nent divines here; among others,
Bishop Lane and J. A. Hamlet, editor
Christian Index, DR.. F. w. Broom,
professor of languages Lane College.
The visitors desire to acknowledge a
real generous hospitality by the col
ored people, as well as the respect
and consideration of the white peo-
pie.
Bishop Cleavs preached Sunday.
A number of white people were spe-
cially invited, and occupied reserved
seats. The bishop was introduced by
Elder Mitchell as the youngest bishop
in any church. Very soon it was ap-
parent that he was an able man. He
delivered one of the best sermons de-
livered in Selmer for many day as
was said by those who heard him.
He is son-in-law of Bishop Lane and
has had all the educational advantage
es possible, while he is negro yet
only in part as he shows by his color.

Central High School Opening

The Selmer High School opened
Monday morning at $50. The large
auditorium was filled with children
and patrons.
Rev. J. W. Carnell held appropri-
ate devotional exercises. Short ad-
dresses were delivered by ]. W. Pur-
viance, Co. Supt. Aaron Brooks, DR..
j. L. Smith and J. W. Prather. These
were followed by the principal, W. B.
Simpson, who forcefully outlined the
duties of teacher, patrons and pupils.
He, evidenced an earnest purpose to
make this school one not inferior to
any high school in the state. He
promises order and discipline Of not
rigid but honest enforcement, with
no favorites. His talk indicated
that he fully grasps the duties Of head
of the school, Prof. Horny Hodges
followed in one of his earnest talks
on the Importance of child training.
and the fact that teachers must know
much more than the books in order to
successful teaching. A number Of
young men and women from other
points in the county enrolled.
The school promises much for Sell
mer and the educational interests of
the whole county.
The following constitute the pres
ent teaching force; W. B. Simpson,
principal; Horny Hodges, vice-princi-
pal; Miss Ruby Alexander, Domestic
Science; Miss LEVEL Walker, Inter-
mediate Department; Miss Corneia
Crook, Primary, and Miss Mabel
Steele, Music.

THE REASON.

A few members of the demo-
cratic executive Committee of
McNairy county at the meeting
Monday, voted to remove me
from the position have held as
a member of said committee
from the 9th district, and also
from the position of Senatorial
Committeeman that somebody
thought | held.
In regard to such action, | de-
sire to say that am not in the
least disturbed nor concerned,
this gang having read me out of
the party SO often that the 0per-
alton has become absolutely pain
less. The reason given for this
action was that | had voted for
republicans, and was on too init
mate terms with republicans and
independent democrats; that by
my political conduct, ! had for
feited my rights to hold further
converse or communication with
the democratic elect.
But this is not the reason. The
real cause is deep-seated and Of
long standing, and this action
taken here Monday was inspired
by a little gang of so-called DEM
cats, who have been scratching
democratic nominees and voting
for republicans when it suited
them from w. ]. Stanton, DEM
ocratic nominee for representa-
tive in 1906, including the la
mented and beloved Bullock for
Chancellor in 1910, to myself in
my last race for representative
in 1912. This gang votes straight
when it suits them to do so. They
will also vote for any republican
when it suits them or will pro-
mote their interests. They went
into a primary two years ago to
defeat me at any cost and in any
way. Failing in their effort to do
this, they marched up in solid
phalanx in the November cleo
tion and took another whack at
me, and voted for a republican.
Republicans are all right if they
are with them: they are all wrong
and going hellward, if they are
not for them. The real reason
for their past and present frame
of mind towards me, is that this
gang failed to control me then
years ago in an effort to re-dis-
trict this county so as to cut
/ down republican membership in
the County Court, and to make
the Dortch Law apply to various
republican districts in this coun-
ty, going so far as to prepare
the bill, and send it to me, not
with a request to pass the same,
but demanding that do it.
| About the same time, this
same gang of self-constituted
leaders, wrote me, and | have
their letters, demanding that /

Meetings Of County Committees

The two county executive commit
tees met Monday for the purpose Of
organic stion and selecting candidates
for the legislature.
The republicans selected as chair
man for the ensuing two years W. H,
Stone. His opponent was Dir. ]. L.
Smith. ]. X. Swain was selected as
secretary. j. P. Sipes defeated j. r.
Swain as the nominee for the legis.
lature.
The democratic committee, with c.
B. Steadman chairman and r. M
Houston secretary, nominated Geo.
Prather for the legislature, his op.
ponent being A. G. McKinzie. For
non utilization w, X. Alternately was
supplanted by r. NJ. Houston for SEN
atorial and ]. H. Steadman in his place
for member of the county executive
committee.

action in regard to senator. w. T.
