SHERIFF AND CLERK ON SALARY
JULY I

adapted from Mansfield Enterprise
On July / the sherlffa and clerks of
the courts Ia this state were put on a
salary basis. The sherIa and clerk
nuN have uo right 10 credit a person
for anything. oT for any amount what
goeyer The entire income Of the two
offices viii belong 10 the parish, and
must be- paid 10 the parish treasurer,
just as all receipts la the past office
are paid ta the government, aud the
sheriff and clerk will be given check
Tor their salaries In civil matters. the
plaintlII iitgant viii pat np bond for
cost, aud all costs viii have TO be- paid
twice each year on the frsI Of July
and January, whether The litigation
has been concluded or not Under the
old ayssm, the officers had Ia give
credit to their friends for cost bills,
and frequently femliied The same al
together, hence they sacrificed large
part Of their income. and sometimes
aiI the profits Of their offices we're lost
In this way Now these fees belong 10
the parish. aud there Ia nothing lef,
for the officers to de- hut to collect the
same aud pay the money to the parish
treasurer.
For instance, when bills Of informa.
ton were recently hied against about
e800 citizens lor falling to pay their
road tax. tke officers remilted their
costs IN whole or In part when under
the rev systom they could mol have
done so. and the parrish would have
received half enough money 10 have
ran the parish laf twelve months We
believe that the law viii be found 10
the interest Of all concerned, and We
think that the receipts from this
source vill materially reduce the par.
iFh taxes. snd Il surely viii cover all
court expenses

One of the greatest surprises that

of all the hindrances, shame and
crimes of lawlessness (viz: lynching,
burning and assassinating) the Ne
groes they are eager to fight. They
are eager for a place in the United
States Army. II this is not true
American, who has the true American
spirit. 1 would that some one to in
form me of its whereabouts. The col
ored boys gladly accept the lot that
make them soldiers. The young col
ored man believes that call to de-
fend the colors is the highest and
noblest duty that can come TO any
individual. We assure the President
that the boys of 1917, whom he
selects will rally to the call and face
the opposing foe as did the boys of
any of the preceding conflicts.
We shall feel that this country has
honored US by calling us to the front

these love ones we leave behind shall
give US their prayers along with
their words of encouragement.

THE VOICE OF A HUMBUG
BY ], p. Robinson.

have often heard the people talk
about a humbug, and wondered what
it meant Now | may miss the analo
gy but will venture to explain. A
humbug is very amusing thing
One day ] was walking along and
heard a mighty voice in the grass
] looked and, behold, 1t was a great
big bug that had gotten all tangled
up in some spider webs. He had at
tempted to weave wen himself for
the capture of the others, but was
himself overtaken and captured. This
seems to be day of humbugs of
which we live.
The atmosphere seems to be filed
with woven webs to hinder the un.
suspecting passerby. If you will look
into the column of wants at any
stage you will certainly find wanted
men. Men of character, OF truth and
veracity, men that can do something,
men that cannot only talk and buzz,
but men that can demand respect and
attention, that can turn up something
and bring things to pass. | hear a
mighty buzzing nowadays because
the National Baptist Convention has
purchased a fine piece of property In
East Nashville as a Baptist Theologi
cal Seminary and Training School
and there is mighty protest goins
up among the humbugs offering words
of criticism Of the good intention O.
the convention, incorporated, t
conduct this school above named. l

THE GAZETTE AND HER NEGRO
FRIENDS.

The Arkansas Gazette, the great
est daily journal in the State OF Ar
kansas, read by more people possibly,
than any other two journals in the
state, and therefore stands first as a
molder of public sentiment and the
creator of public policy, is not in the
Judgment of the Peoples Defender,
treating the public right, and espe-
ciallv the Negro contingent of the
public The Negroes are readers ana
lovers Of the Arkansas Gazette, ana
in many instances must look to II
for protection against public sentf
ment that would be destructive 10
them, but the Negroes feel little
grieved at the readiness that the
Gazette offers its columns, or per"
mits its columns to be used for ex'
preston and moulding of sentiment
that humiliates. and puts in the
wrong light the Negro people.
The expression found in the col
umns Of the Gazette the morning OF
July 4th, in its write-up of the East
ST Louis riots, the "BuXom Wench
referring to young colored woman
who had been driven from her nome
by rioters and anarchists is so dis'
tasteful to all respectable and SELF
respecting colored people until they
regard that the Gazette surely hath
forgotten her friends. A careless
fling of that kind at the ~o>
mon Of a race of people VINO
NAV in many respects be helpless ana
unable to defend themselves, is 10
saw the least unfair and shows the
advantages that might takes over
right. 1t is such write-ups, such REFER
erces to a civil people, such reter'
erces to a race of taxpayers, TO
race of people who have cleared up
the forests and titled the field, such
references that are entirely uncalieo
FOR and help to form public opinion
and race feeling and bad conditions
and to set in motion winds that uI'
timately will grow into whirlwinds'
For be it understood that whatever
my be said or done, that the strong
man never stays strong forever nor
the weak man never stays weak lor-
ever. The best policy is that the man
who is strong today should at least
give his brother who is weak today
a living show, for tomorrow under the
providence of God, he himself may De
the weaker, and the other may %
the stronger and he will have meter
out to him what he has meted OUT
to his weaker brother. For saith GOO
we shall reap that which we SOW.
