4 Thomas H. PEBBLES gave out this
morning the following statement rel
alive to his position on the choice of
delegates by the county committee
to the state democratic convention,
which will be held in Nashville on
may 16. He disclaims any intention
of trying to dictate, and states that
the failure of the committee to pro-
vide for the selection of delegates
was due to desire to leave the dele

ADVOCATES EQUAL JUSTICE.

What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.
The news from Washington that the
effort to segregate the colored and
white clerks in the federal depart
ments Is checked If not ended must
cause to rejoice every one who be-
heves in fair play and the square deal,
says Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
Of the New York Evening Post. in a
lengthy article in the Philadelphia
Press Jan. 2. He says:
Particularly to supporters Of the
Woodrow Wilson administration, like
myself, Is the news welcome, for this
attempt to draw caste lines in the
very heart Of the government Of the
greatest of democracies, founded upon
the principle that all are born free and
equal, constituted grave blot upon
Mr.. Wilson's record, besides laying
him open to the charge Of preaching a
new freedom" but practicing new
slavery" for those upon whom divine
Providence In its wisdom has bestowed
dark skins.
But, If we can rejoice over this re-
versal Of a bad federal policy, to our
shame be it said that segregation goes
On apace elsewhere. Nine southern
cities have voted to establish the
ghetto on American soil, though Au-
gusta, to its credit, has just voted
down this cruel and un-American
proposition.
It IL a policy dictated by the most
selfish Of considerations, for It would
make the progress Of a race In an
urban community depend upon land
values. For once the commOnest ex-
ouse for holding the Negro down-the
false cry Of race purity and Of social
equality-is put aside In favor Of this
new proposition that the Negroes
must be confined to a given quarter
lest by going elsewhere they depreciate
the property Of whites.
Thus It is laid down that II colored
man would rise and secure for bis
children better light, better air. bet
ter home In less crowded and more
sanitary quarters, he is thereby COM
hitting a social crime; that we must
prevent his carrying out an ambition
which we applaud In every other
American. be he Jew or gentle. Ar.
menian or Russian or Pole or German
or pure American.
We reprobate 1t In the Negro as II
mere contact with him were leprous
We can all sympathize with those
whose property suffers in value by
reason Of color prejudice. but the
whole history of our cities tells Of the
ruination Of aristocratic quarters by
the influx of trade or Of masses Of i'm
migrants. Sudden changes In value
are what every one faces who buys
urban property. Losing money ought
surely never to be an excuse for put
ting extra burdens on race already
heavily disadvantaged.

CONTROVERSY BETWEEN COVER

DECLARED IN LETTERS.

Washington, April 23.--Correspond-
ence between Governor Stuart Of vir-
ginia and ]. p. Morgan concerning the
will Of Martha Washington, which is
in Mr.. Morgan's possession. was read
to the Daughters of the American
Revolution today by Mrs. william
Cummings Storey.
The letters show that the matter
was opened by Governor Stuart
through w. l.. McCorkle, President of
the New York Southern Society in
March last. In reply Mr.. Morgan said
his only desire was that the document
should be placed where it could be
best preserved and Of most use to the
people of the United States. Not con.
sidering the court house building of
Fairfax County, Virginia, to which
Governor Stuart desired the docu
ment returned, and where the will OF
George Washington now is, as fire

Der of people, Mr.. Morgan made two
propositions.
One was that the state of Virgins

done he would present the will o
Martha Washington to the Mount Vel

should the Virginia authorities not b
willing to do this, the will of Georg
Washington should be presented t

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are

Il is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
heart-wrenching pains. when you can
surely avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve tine pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
ihe only WHY to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because il
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out o.
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron
&c rheumatism, kidney troubles, an,
bladder disorders. You will find i
different from all other remedies
There is nothing else on earth like il
. 1t matters not how old you are, Q
. how long you have suffered, it
practically impossible to take it int
the human system without result
You will find relief from the first fe'
doses, and you will be surprised ho'
quickly all your misery and sufferin
will end.

!. costs but a trife at any frst-cla:
drug store. All druggists are a,
thorized to sell it on positive none!

for a few days is often all that

CONVICT FARM FIRE
THOUGHT INCENDIARY

jackson, Miss. April 23:-Fifteen
thousand dollars is the loss sustained
by IRE at the 'Parchman convict farm
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock, when
flames that originated in gin house No.
1 destroyed three small frame build
ings. six carloads Of cottonseed and 80
bales of loose cotton. Twelve hun.
dred bales of ginned cotton in near
by warehouse were not injured.
How the fire originated is a mys-
terry, but Farm Superintendent ]. G.
Gathings, who is in Jackson today, be-
lieves it was incendiary. DR.. Gathings
is on his first vacation since he has
been superintendent, and was en- route
from Tupelo to Meridian when he
heard of the fire, and came direct to
Jackson. P. f. Matthews, one of the
prison trustees, was in charge al
Parchman.
DR.. Gathings believes that some dis
gruntled person set the ginhouse OF
fire. The blaze first was discovered
when persons at the depot saw a clout
of black smoke coming from thu
building. 1t spread so quickly that tn
building was almost consumed befor
the men could begin work to fight tn
flames, which spread to the cotto
house and the seedhouse, nearby. Ey
cry effort was made to extinguish tn
fire, but all that could be done was t
keep it from spreading to the ware
house where the ginned cotton wa
stored.
The gin building, the cotton hous
and the cotton-seed house, togetht
with their contents, were destroys
The value of the destroyed building
and contents, roughly estimated, is ;
follows: Three buildings $4,000, looi
cotton $4S,OO0, cottonseed $1,000.
AS the state carries no insuranc
! the buildings and products will be
total loss.
