is SLAPPED, TALKED TO AND
ABOUT; HORSE SHOT AT;
CALLED A HEATHEN."

HON Kim, son of the Celestia
Kingdom and erstwhile laundrer o
collars and shirts, is beginning t,
have as many troubles on his way
to fame and finance as a motor ca
owner with aspirations to reach Sal
Francisco by the overland route.
Two times yesterday did HON Kim
run afoul of trouble. Two times did
HON Kim come out vanquished.
For two hours this morning, the Ori-
entail gave life like illustrations of
what happened to him yesterday, for
the benefit of Mayor Batson, Capt.
Farley, Chief Bennett, and the entire
city hall force. There wasn't a chance
to do any work over there while the
Chinaman held forth He had had
his troubles, and he was determined
to inflict them on some one else. The
city hall is the property of the city.
he explained, and HON Kim pays
taxes to the city, and is a part of it.
Therefore, he reasoned, why should
not the mayor listen to his tale of
woe?
HON Kim, it seems, dared to repri-
mand "a colored washerwoman'' en-
ployed in his laundry, when, 10 and
behold, "a negro" stepped from some
where, HON Kim doesn't know from
where, and landed" on him.
- There was a free-for-all, three cor
nered fight, the blacks against the yel-
low man, with the odds favoring the
blacks. They bruised the Chinaman
up, not little bit. They choked him
and they slapped him. They said bad
things about his laundry, about the
class of his work; about HON Kim
about his country and his
emperor, and then they called him
heather Chinee."
These are few of the things HON
Kim told Mayor Batson happened to
lim yesterday
Then to cap the climax, someone |
shot at Hon Kim's horse, the one at |
.ached to the wagon in which the |
Jhinaman makes his deliveries. He
Knows some one shot at the animal, |
4Om Kim said, because he smelt the |
smoke He didn't see the pistol actu-
lily fired, but any one born in the
and where the firecrackers and Ro- |
nan candles originated, can't be mis- |
cad when it comes to identifying |
powder smoke.
HON Kim refused to ask for the ar
est of the negro man and the negro |
woman, as he said they certainly
would kill him.
''Lock-a them up for one, two, tree
MONTHS" he reasoned, "and when !
hey getta out, they'll keel-a me-
He didn't know their names. but |
le said one was a man, the other a |
and both of them negroes. |
With this meager description, Chief |
Bennett is trying to locate HON Kim's
ssailants and warn them to let the
Ihinaman alone.

Special TO The NeWS.

Jackson Miss, Aug 14.-Although
the democratic state executive com
mittee refused to investigate the num-
erOus reports of frauds, corruption
and illegal voting at the primary cleo
tion on Aug. 3, or even to give hear
ing to the affidavits offered in support
of these charges, it is reported here
that these charges are to be proved
at the grand jury sessions in several
of the counties involved.
Illegal voting in Mississippi has a
severe penalty attached, and the
same laws applicable to general cleo
-IiQnT-,lso . pplE~te>p party primaries
In several instances the democratic
state executive committee was fur
nished with the names of parties who
cast ballots without legal right to do
so, and it will be an easy matter for
the grand juries to examine the tax
books and find that these parties cast
illegal ballots.
Affidavits were being procured in
other counties for presentation to the
state executive committee, in event
that body had shown willingness to
probe the charges of fraud and cor
ruption. 1t is understood that the
parties engaged in preparing these af
fldavits will not turn the names over
to the grand juries in their respective
counties. itt
Also, it is known that a close watch
will be kept for Illegal voters at the
second primary on Aug. "a, and per-
sons who offer to vote who have no
legal right to do so will be promptly
dealt with.
