-Four Negroes Arrested by Florence Po-
lice on Charge or Getting Negroes
to Leave Sttae.

Florence Times.
Four negroes were placed under ar
rest by the city police yesterday
charged with violating the immigra-
tion laws. They will be tried before
Magistrate Royal tomorrow. From
what the police have been able to
gather the ring leader in the business
is Julius Brown, negro from New
ark, N. j. Browns plan seems to
have been worked to a finish here. He
claimed that he wanted thirty men to
work in a silk mill in New Jersey at
fancy wages and collected a dollar
each from the thirty negroes that
agreed to accompany him. Three To-
cal negroes who are said to have as
sisted him in the work. George Mason,
James Brown and Ephram Black. were
placed under arrest also. The case
is of particular interest in view of the
many train loads of negroes who have
recently left here for the North.
Chief Brunson said that he found IL
hard to get information on the case
from the negroes who were "close as
clam"

THE GENTLEMAN
FROM SEWARD COUNTY

Members of the house have noticed
that the loud moo" that comes
from the north side of the room
whenever bill comes up for passage
or the negative side is put during a
session of the committee of the whole
house.
That nay vote Is a vote of principle.
1t is fulfilled pledge to the constitu-
ents of the honorable A. A. Farmer
who represents the one hundred and
twenty-thoid district.
The member from Seward county
is Democrat. 1.-THE orneriest kind
of Democrat" he wrote Cliff Stratton
when that gentleman was seeking in
formation to compile who's who of
the house. So far as the statutes of
this great commonwealth is con-
cerned, the gent from the county
where United States marshals come
from believes in a fifty-fifty plan. That
is. let half of the laws remain just as
they are and repeal the other half.
And as for new laws
oh perish the thought!
The solon from Seward is against
any sort of law except what the
state may have to have to keep its
present machinery going. And that
of course means appropriation bills
to pay such salaries that must be
paid.
The gentleman from Seward takes
no airs as to his ability as lawmak-
er. Nor even claims that he is one
There is where he shines.
When he ran for Office he told his
constits that If he were elected he'd
come up here to Topeka and vote
against every new law that came up
Evidently the constits wanted thai
kind of a representative, because
they elected him.
So when the reading clerks gel
down into the roll call as far as F's
you'll hear loud "NO" from Farm.
