To The Brookhaven LEADER
Mr.. Editor-The Bible says the
number of our years is three score
and ten. / am now three score and
nine years old. The Bible also says
once man and twice child. If
that is true then / am now in my
former childish ways. Now If l have
said anything or did anything that
has been offensive to the white peo-
pie of .Brookhaven I come as an hum
Bile servant to his masters and hum
bly, ask forgiveness.
1t was here in Brookhaven, where
l first began serving the white peo-
pie, an humble, obedient, truthful,
and honest way. This was in 1868
In the winter of 1869 1 went to Jack
son and hired as waiter at the Ed
wards House, which was overfiowing
at that. time with Yankees or car
pet baggers. / saw my master killed
in Dalton, Ca, in 1868 by the Yam
kee pickets, This made me hate all
Yankees.
When Mr.. Hilzim saw that ! did
not like to wait on them he appoint
ed me to table No. 10 which was
occupied by Senators John M. Stone
Allen, Duncan, Seal, Mcintosh, Fea-
therstone, Lowry, Street, and few
others.
In 1870 or 1871 the president Of
the Senate had to be elected. There
were four or five Republican candi-
dates. The Republicans had such an
overwhelming majority 1t was not
necessary to hold a caucus. The
Democrats held caucus at the Ed
wards in Senator Stones room and
united to vote for Senator Bennett.
Senator Bennett was elected on the
first ballot. Senators Stone and Dun
can had me appointed porter Of the
Senate and / still waited on table
No. 10 at the Edwards house for my
beard.
Now, Mr.. Editor, after serving the
white people Of Mississippi from
1868 humble, obedient, truthful and
honest is 1t not reasonable to forgive
the old man for any mistake or blum
der that have made. not from the

EDWARD SMITH GIVES BUR-
RELL JACKSON DRUBBNG
Internal Revenue Collector Incensed
at Letters Written by ColOred
Federal Employe Here.

Former Circuit Clerk Edward
Smith, who is now engaged as travel
ing U. 8. Internal Revenue Collect
or, gave Burrell w. Jackson, Feder-
al employe at the local postoffce.
such beating Saturday as seldom
comes within the experience of any
man black or white.
The affair happened just inside the
First National Bank and was the re-
suit of an accidental meeting at that
place, although the cause of the at
tack on Jackson was in reality one
of months standing.
According to the information fur
nished The Leader, Jackson wrote to
Washington a number of months age
and made certain charges against
Mr.. Smith, stating in them that Mr.
Smiths conduct was unbecoming to
an officer. Jackson not receiving a
reply up to short time ago and no
action being taken on his report, is
alleged to have again written to the
department chiding them for not an
swering his letter and again making
derogatory remarks about Mr.. Smith
1t is stated that he also in the inte-
rim wrote to G. L. Donald, State Rev.
enue Collector, and advised him that
he did not want Mr.. Smith to have
enything to do with collecting gov
ernment taxes from the picture show
he was running at that time, it being
part of Mr. Smiths duties to visit
such shows in this section and check
them up for the taxes due the govern
ment. He is reputed to have stated
in this letter that If such an arrange
ment could not be made with Mr..
Donald that he was going to take
the matter up with the head inter-
nal commissioner at Washington If
Donald would not grant the request
and see that he got what he desired,
as he did not consider Mr.. Smith a
fit person for the position he was
occupying.
Mr.. Smith became cognizant of
this state Of affairs from time to time
but took no action in the matter un-
til the accidental meeting at the bank
when Jackson approached him afer
having been told by Mr.. Smith not
to speak to him, and continued to
converse with him until Mr.. Smith
deemed he had gotten to the impu-
dent stage. When Mr.. Smith deci-
ded this point he proceeded to put
his resentment into action with
lightning-like rapidity. He hit Jack
son in the face several times, knock
ing him to the cement floor, and then
gave him several kicks in the body,
before bystanders came to Jackson's
rescue, who was crying out loudly
for help in the meantime. Jackson's
wounds weer so severe that he has
been compelled to take to his bed
since from the drubbing he received,
it being believed that several ribs
have been dislocated from the blows
administered by Mr.. Smith. Mr..
Smiths right hand has been badly
swollen and bruised for several days
as result Of the encounter.
Mr.. Smiths presence here is due
to the fact that he is taking the
three weeks vacation allowed en-
ployes in his class each year.

sonic affair, an unusually large num-
Der of Shriners will attend and par
ticipate in the pleasures that are be-
ing arranged by the various commit
tees.
1t is reported that the camels hav-
ing traversed the hottest desert
sands all summer are thirsty and
hungry for fresh meat" to work on,
The trusty Arabs Of Hamasa are
leading the novices to the slaughter

that there will be around 100. Those
