from Holmes county the past four
years and now nominated, it seems,
for lieutenant governor. has been in
Jackson ever since he heard the It'd

of the votes cast. Senator Casteel
was here 8he day after the primary,
when Frierson was reported about
10000 ahead of him, gave it up like
a good loser, and went to his home
at Pickens, where he remained until
Friday, when he was informed he
was leading by about a thousand
votes. He came back here that night
in time for the "jollification" and
says he will issue short letter of
thanks-but not until the state exc

.TUSKEGEE HEAD ON
RACE QUESTION
Booker WashingtOn's Successor
DepIOres Race Riots in
United States.

Tuskegee, Ala, Sept. 3.-R. R.
Motion; Booker T. Washington's sue
cessor as principal of Tuskegee Insti-
tute. declared in a statement today
Eregarding the recent race riots in sew
eral cities in the North and South
that it was difficult to understand
why there should be so much appar-
ent suspicion and bitterness on the
part of both the white and negro
races.
II have never known the colored
people to have more intense feeling
toward the white people than at pres
ent," DR.. Motion said, land l have
never known a time when there was
less reason. l never knew a time
when the white people of the South,
not only the leading white people,
but the average white man, were
more anxious than at present to be
absolutely fair and Just to the negro,
to see to it that the colored race in
the South has better school facilities,
better railroad accommodations and
adequate protection under the law.
This is also true of the North.
There was never time when the
OOuIH, anu the 1NOTLH, LOO, saw more
clearly the value of the negro as an
economic factor in industrial opera
tions. never knew time when
Southern white people felt more cha
grined and humiliated at the awful
crime of lynching than they do to-
day, and never knew, time when
they were more determined to put
down mob rule. whether aimed at
black or white, than now. Many of
the leading papers of the South are
speaking out as never before against
all forms of injustice and unfairness
to the colored race.
I'VE, North and South, should
make up our minds that there is
room enough. there is opportunity
enough, for colored and white ia
work peacefully and harmoniously
here ip America, each living his life
unhampered by any act or any ,un-
toward attitude of the other, and
hope that our leaders in every COM
munity, white and black, will get to-
gether and smooth out matters that
are misunderstood, so that America
can teach the world that black and
white people can live peacefully and
harmoniously in our great country"

BRAND STATEMENT
UNSPORTSMANLIKE
Johnston Followers Comment on
Daily News Editorial-Op-
pOnents Not Riff-Raff.

Crystal Springs, Miss, Sept. L.
One hundred prominent citizens OF
this town and community who sup
ported Lieut.. Oscar Johnston for gov
ernor of Mississippi at the recent
primary election signed a petition
here Saturday protesting against the
language contained in an editorial
appearing in the Jackson Daily News
unGer date of Aug. 2S, headed
What 1t Means" wherein, among
other things, the following language
was employed 1.-THE riff-raff, the
rag-tag and the bob-tail of creation,
aided by the large element of our
population that has always allowed
demagogues and scoundrels to dc
their thinking for them elected Lee
Russell" To this language the 100
citizens demurred in the following
protest:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern: I'VE,
the undersigned citizens of Crystal
Springs and surrounding community
readers and subscribers, many of us,
to the Jackson Daily News and who
supported Hon. Oscar Johnston in
his candidacy for governor of Missis-
slppi, read with much regret the edi-
torial contained in the Jackson Daily
News in its issue of Aug. %, headed
What 1t Means" because we do not
believe that the citizens who opposed
MIR. Johnston for governor deserve to
be referred to in the language couch
ed in the editorial, but believe these
men to be good citizens of the state,
who voted their honest convictions,
and we concede to them the same
right to vote their convictions that
we claim for ourselves. We know of
hundreds of men in Crystal Springs
community who voted for Lieut-Go
Russell who are among the best citi-
zens in the community, and we take
this means of protesting against the
reference to these men contained in
the editorial referred to. We deplore
the incident a great deal and protest
that the editorial did not reflect the
views of the vast majority of the men
who supported Lieut.. Oscar Johnston
for governor. Respectfully submit
ted" and signed by 100 prominent
citizens in all walks of life here.
These citizens were all ardent and
active supporters of Lieut.. Oscar
Johnston and many of them did va
liant work for the lieutenant and Wig
orously oppose the idea of govern
ment represented in Mississippi by
Lieut.-Gov., Russell, but they are the
personal friends and neighbors of the
men who did support Lieut. Gov.
Russell and are insistent in their
protest against the editorial in ques-
tion. The letter of Hon. Oscar John
ston appearing in the press of the
29th, in which he himself disapprov-
ed of the editorial, is referred to
with much satisfaction by his, sup
porters, who declare that, seeing
what good loser he is, they regret
more than ever his defeat Of last
Tuesday.
