MISSISSIPPI GOV.
And LIEUT.-GOV. in
TILT over CONVICTS
preston News servicel

JACKSON, Miss, Nov 30-It is said
that the war of the Rebellion was
caused on account of the Negro, and
now a governor and his lieutenant gov
ernor are at war over two Negroes.
Governor Russell is as dead as
Hector in Mississippi" declared Lieu
tenant Governor Homer CASTLE, who
went to Memphis last Tuesday to car
ry on the fight precipitated last Sat
urday when Governor Russell raced
from Memphis to the Mississippi line
to block the pardoning of two Negroes
by Lieutenant Governor CASTLE.
CASTLE said that he went to Mem
phis to gather information to prove
that Governor Russell was in Memphis
when the pardoning was done. He ex-
pressed complete confidence that his
position would be upheld when the
test came.
He was bitter in his denunciation of
Governor Russell and said that the
governor interferred solely for the
purpose of getting into the limelight
He explained that he signed the par
don for the two Negroes at 9:40
o'clock Saturday morning and that he
had the advice of counsel that the
pardons became effective Immediate
ly, their force not depending on the
fixing of the seal of the secretary of
state. 1t is said that court proceed
ings will be instituted in the next
few days, probably at Greenville, to
test the right of Lieutenant Governor
CASTLE to grant the pardon.

CLEARFIELD, Pa, Nov. 3O-Miss
Nora Moore, aged 1S years, who had
been held in the local Jail pending an
investigation into the story that she
had been sold by her mother to a
white man who bound her to the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks near here,
where she was found about five min
utes before a fast passenger train
was due, has been released after a
commission appointed to investigate
her sanity declared that she was sane,
and she confessed to having tied her
self to the tracks.
Local Jail authorities doubted Miss

rs MEMBERS OF new
CONGRESS BELONG To
KLAN ORDER, AYERS
preston News service)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. SO-Ac-
cording to information available it is
learned that rs members of the new
congress are also members of the Ku
Klux Klan. Arthur Brisbane says,
''The Ku Klux weakened their power
in advance by making a fight unwise-
ly against Catholics and Jews. A mil
liant organization must have some
thing to fight, and the Ku Klux Klar
chose Jews and Catholics, very poor
choice if the Klan wants to win"
1t will be recalled that the khan be-
gan fighting against Negroes and later
took up the fight against Jews and
Catholics. 1t is evident from Mr.. Bris-
bane's point of view that it is quite
right for the khan to fight against the
Negro in this country.
If the above figures are correct, it
is evident that this nefarious organiza-
tion is gaining quite a foothold IN pol
itics in this country and will be able
TO WELD considerable influence on
legislative matters. The presence of
these avowed enemies to the Negro
will make it extremely difficult to Sc
cure passage of any legislation of
benefit to the Negro in this country.

MASKED MEN PARADE
STREETS and ORDER
CITIZENS TO LEAVE
preston News Service)

BRECKENRIDGE Tex, Nov. 30
Scores of Mexicans and Negroes have
left this town during the past "a
hours, according to reports being sent
out by local authorities. 1t is said
that Negroes are by far in majority of
those leaving.
The sudden exodus followed march
of crowd OF masked men, estimated
at over 500, through the Negro and
Mexican districts last Tuesday night,
and alleged threats that Mexicans and
Negroes must leave Breckenridge at
once or have their homes burned.
Other threats of violence are alleged
to have been sent to Negroes and
Mexicans.
1t is thought that members of the
Ku Klux Klan are responsible for this
movement to drive Mexicans and Ne
groes out, as most of the work being
done here is by Negro and Mexican
labor. Many jobs held by Negroes and
Mexicans were vacant on Wednesday,
including that of a Negro school teach
'er, who is alleged to have left town
also.
Mayor Fulwiler is reported to have
issued a statement to the effect that
everything possible will be done to
protect residents of this city, regard
less of race or creed. The chamber
of commerce pledged cooperation with
the city authorities in affording pro-
lection. Extra police have been placed
on duty, and it is said that no further
trouble is expected.

dren, according to announcement

he property.
1t is said that decision of the school
board to use the medical college came
after many stormy sessions. at which
time protests were entered against its
use for both white and colored chill
dren as a school. Finally, the board,
faced with the choice of either scores
of children to go without a school or
come out firmly and utilize the build
ing. 1t chose to use the building. No
protests were then made

BATTLING SIKH HAD
INTERESTING CAREER
SAYS NOTED WRITER
(By Special Correspondent)

O4hl 5 BTduuldlHeT was q slave, cap
tured by Moors in the interior of Sem
egal, region almost as dark as the
darkest regions of the Congo. Escap-
ing from the Moors the old man fled
to St Louis, Senegalese port, where
he married and where Louis, later to
develop into Battling Sikh, was born,
a generation afterward.
Louis Fall was born December 16,
1889 From the age of he became a
hanger-on at the docks, achieving an
early reputation as battler by licking
all the kids of his age within radius
of 20 miles
Kidnapped by Woman
When he was years old he was
begging for pennies thrown by pas
sengers of a French liner making port
from Brazil. One of the other boys
grabbed a penny Louis thought was
his, and Louis swung straight and
knocked him out The feat was OBJ
served by Freda Stampich, a Berlin
dancer, who was so captivated by the
boy that she kidnapped him and took
him to live with her at her villa at
Marseilles. There she sent him to
school.
In 1911 the dancer decided to return
to Germany and demanded a passport
for herself and Louis, but it was re-
fused by the French on the ground
that Louis was French subject and
could not be adopted by German.
So the dancer left 5000 francs to pro-
vide for Louis needs until he could
earn his living, and, departing for Ger
many, passed out of her youthful pro-
tege's life.
In Army at is
In 1914, when Louis-now calling
himself Battling Siki--was Is years
old, he enlisted in the French Army
and in few months arrived at the
front There he covered himself with
glory and received the Croix de Guerre
and the Military Medal.
The war over, he recommended his
fighting and rapidly defeated all the
champions of the South of France
Stuber, Leonard, 'Auroy-in quick sue
cession. Seeking new worlds to con-
quer, he came to Paris where he cele-
brated his arrival by knocking out
Derensky. His next match was with
Maurice Lefever, whom he beat on
points in 10 rounds, after which he
sent Andre Marcband to sleep in the
fifth. He clamored for match with
the champion.
''If he beats Journee and Niles, Car
pentier will meet him. stated Des-
champs to this demand.
So last winter Sikh, despite heavy
weight disadvantage, beat Journee. In
June of this year he won on points
against Niles after Is ronuds.
Hates Americans
Tonight l saw the Senegalese in ac-
tion at a so-called bar frequented by
American whites. He appeared with
a pretty French white woman, we'll
known at the opera as a dancer, who
was leading a wolf-hound. When it
was made known that his presence
was not desired, Sikh placed two great
fists-diamonds as big as nuts on the
third and little fingers-on the table
and announced he was a Frenchman
on French soil
$50 this is where Americans come"
he shouted. well, I'm as good as
they. If you will not serve me, serve
this lady"
French family present sided with
Sikh One after another its members
threw their glasses to the floor in pro-
test.
