person living at Muldrows Station;
which meant either negro postmaster
or Il discontinuance of the Office: that
said negro was appointed by Repub-
lican administration, just like Mr..
Joyner was; that said negro postmaster
was formerly a servant of the late Col
Henry l.. Muldrow, ex-Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior under Cleveland's
administration, eX-cOngressman from
the First District of Mississippi, and
Chancellor of this district at the time
of this death. j. l.. LOVE
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 5th day of August. 1916.
WILL K. WARD, Notary Public.
My commission expires Jan. 1918.
Muldrow is little out of the
way place in the northeast corner
of the county, not over mile
from the Clay county line. In the
early '90's Col. Muldrow had his
old servant appointed postmaster
at the station named in his honor,
because there was not a white
person living there to hold the Of
fee; and until Mr.. Joyner gave
publicity to the fact there was not
5 percent of of the white people of
the county who knew there was a
negro postmaster at that place.
Further, there has never been any
effort made to oust him; and Mr..
Love who recently applied for the
place is the only white man to
want it, and he has been a patron
of the office but a few months.
We do not know with what po-
litical party Cooper Muldrow af-
filiates, and do not care; but do
know that Mr.. Joyner was ap'
pointed postmaster at the A. & NJ
College by the Republican party,
the same as Cooper was at Null
drow. And Joyner has shown his
affiliation and good faith to that
party by making liberal contribu>
tions to two of it's presidential
campaign funds. Therefore, Mr..
Joyner was let down and out when
his term expired, just as Cooper
will be when his time is out, if
there is white porson at Mul> |
drow who will have it,
But regardless of Mr.. Joyper's |
earlier political affiliations when |
the Democrats came in power. |
Notwithstanding Cooper was still !:
postmaster at Muldrow, he be-
came an ardent Gambler supporter,
so until the moment he
received notice that he had lost |
his job. He was such an enthu-
siastic Gambler man he did not |
propose for Gambler to be put to
any expense in this county; but
he would defray all the same in
Oktibbeha. He would pay for
name on the ticket. Pay for his
card in the three papers published
in the County; and stand for
whatever other expense that might
be incurred. But as soon as he
lost the post office at the College
he lost all love for Mr.. Gambler
He purchased space IN two Of the
County papers for the entire cam
paign, and in that space ran a
Cunningham Column, proclaimlng
Cunningham the only salvation
for the party.
But since Mr.. Cunningham has
seen proper to retire. Mr.. Joiner
has deviated that paid space to Mr.
Candler's only remaing opponent
Mr.. Joiner registered at the Col
lege as a student from another
County and another Congressional
District; and as an evidence that
he is not identified with the people |
here; and does not know what he

a splendid talk on the benefits arising
from consolidating rural schools and
appealed to the patrons of these
schools for their cooperation to ar
rive at satisfactory arrangement to
consolidate some of the smaller
schools. Mr. R. L. Robitzsch, chair
man of the county board of education
also spoke on the same line and as
sured the people that so far as the
Board of Education is concerned, they
would do their full part in getting bet
ter school facilities for the country

by the ladies of the community and
was enjoyed by everybody and fully

Twelve hundred people filled the

been making Fitzgerald for the past

past several seasons the Minstrels
hadn't come up to expectations, and
the large audience was especially de-
lighted to have Coburn come back"
as it were. The show was good from
start to finish, pleasure for young

have been there. Especially crafty
ing was the large out-of-town patro-
mage, evidenced in the parking of more
than fifty cars from Douglas, Rochelle

-FOUR LYNCHEO NEGROES
GU|LTLESS, SAYS KEITH
DECLARES THAT HE DIDN'T
SHOOT SHERIFF-TAKEN
TO AUGUSTA JAIL

Triton Ga, February 22.-Jim Keith
sentenced to life term in prison for
completely in the killing of Sheriff
Moreland OF Lee County, was carried
to Richmond county this morning to
serve his term.
Keith has been in Triton Jail since
the day he was convicted in Worth
superior court. Sheriff Potts got him
out from Sylvester by a clever trick
and brought him to Triton, the rumor
being spread that he had been sent to
the state prison farm. No one knew
Keith was in Tiff county Jail except
the sheriff and his deputies until this
morning, when Warden Stringer came
for prisoner.
The prison commission had some
trouble placing Keith, as few counties
wanted him, fearing a lynching party,
Its large body of convicts and the dis
lance commended Richmond.
Keith talked freely of the killing of
Moreland, and declared he is guiItless
of shooting the sheriff This is gener-
ally believed. Keith readily admits
shooting Bart Moreland, the sheriffs
brother. who shot Keith and his wife
the day before the sheriff was killed
He says he saw Bart Moreland outside
the door, and knew the crowd had
come for him. He picked up a single
barrelled shotgun and fired it at Bart
Moreland and ran. He shot only once
because he had nothing else to shoot
with and has no idea who shot the
sheriff
According to Keith, old man Lake
and his three sons, who were with the
negro Seymour. we're taken from
the Worth county jail by mob and
lynched in Lee county were entirely
innocent. After he was attacked in the
road by Bart Moreland and Jim Doz-
Ter. Keith stopped at the home Of the
~"hos' pSNduoe 1t was the Hrst negro
house in reach. The old man was
gone and he did not get back until a.
few minutes before the posse came.
Keith had no opportunity to tell him
about the trouble, and old man Lake
did not know the officers wanted him.
He did not even remember Keith's
name, but told the officers there was
a strange negro there and called him
out.
1t is the general opinion that Mose11e
Lake killed the sheriff. and he has.
never been arrsted.
