SELLING MINING STOCK TO NEGROES
Two White Men Have Been in the County Letting the Colored
People Have an Interest in a Mexican Silver Mine.
Two white men have been in Ter
rell county selling stock in a silver
mine in Mexico to negroes. They
confined their operations entirely to
this race, and none of the stock was
offered to white people. In fact, they
informed one gentleman who asked
Seems to Think There Has Been
Some Writing by Proxy on the
City Court Question.
Editor of The News: 1 see from
a communication by J. R. 1., alias
J. H. Smith, that I am interrogated
in regard to a great many things con
tained in the report of the commit
tee selected by the grand jury, com
posed of J. H. Oxford, W. A. An
thony and T. C. Geise, to investigate |
the city court. I respectfully refer
him to the published report of these
gentlemern made to their body for|
answers to his questions. [ don't]
propose to champion or shoulder the
report of the committee. They are[
able to take care of themselves, and
will give the said J. R. 1., alias J. H. |
Smith, all the facts necessary to.
substantiate everything contained inl
their report, which, I suppose, they|
©obtained from careful investigation;
of the records of the court. l
The said J. R. 1., alias J. H. Smith,
apeared before the committee of thel
legislature to which was referred thei
bill to abolish the city court and
made the same arguments then as
are now advanced by him. It seems,
too, that he failed to convince the
committee that the report made I)yl
the grand jury committee was noti
the facts. It appears, also, that dur- |
ing that discussion it cropped out that .
it was more of a personal and politi
cal fight than an effort to correct an
evil, and they almost unanimously
refused to recommend the passage of
the bill to abolish the court.
As [ state above, I feel but very
little interest in the city court fight.
It won’t disturb me in the least
whether it ‘‘sinks or swims.” sur
vives or perishes. Ne plus untra. |

FARMERS ARE KICKING.
Say Oil Mills Pay More for Seed
Elsewhere Than in Dawson.
The News learns that there is con
siderable dissatisfaction among the
farmers who sell their cotton seed
in Dawson.
It is said that the oil mills are pay
ing more for seed in other towns
and then paying the freight on them
to Dawson than they are paying the
farmers for seed delivered at their
plants here,
If this is true there is something
wrong somewhere,
The News is going to look into
the matter and print the facts as
they exist, along with some figures.

Mrs. John Hollingsworth compli
mented her sister, Miss Annie Mae
Christie, with a delightful domino
whist party Friday evening. Mrs.
Hollingsworth is a charming hostess
and Miss Christie is one of the most
attractive of the younger set. The af
fair was informal, and one of the
most enjoyable of the season. The
tables for the game were arranged
on the wide porch, which was pret
tily lighted with numbers of Japan
ese lanters. On the lawn the punch
bowl was attractively arranged in
a mass of pot plants, and little Misses
Louise Marlin and Helen Christie
served punch. Mrs. Ben Davidson
and Miss Florence Baldwin assisted
Mrs. Hollingsworth in entertaining.
Miss Nell Irwin won the prize, a set
of dominoes. At the close of the
evening cream and cake were served.
The Young Matrons' Cluh.
M. P Perry charmingly en
tertained the Young Matrons’ Clul
Friday afternoon at her home on Lee
street. The parlors and porch,
where some of the tables for the
game were arranged, were tastefully
decorated with handsome pot plants.
Tall palms and lovely ferns formed
an attractive setting for the ladies in
their dainty summer dresses grouped
about the tables. On the porch from
a bower of palms Misses Susie Chris
tie and Alice May Perry served de
lic'ous punch. The game was ‘‘42."
Mrs. W. H. Davis won the prize, one
of the late novels. After the game
a delicious salad course was served.
Missionary Birthday Party.
On Friday evening the Bessie
Laing Missionary Society gave a very
delightful birthday party for col
lecting their pledge money” at the

lawn was lighted with pretty colored
lanterns, and the evening was spent
in playing games out of doors,
Misses Pearl Proctor and Nan Pace
received the guests on their arrival,
and during the evening Misses Helen
Patterson, Nellie Laing and Alice
and Emma Johnstone served orange
nectar. A fortune teller's tent was
invitingly arranged on a corner of
the lawn, and much fun was caused
by the various prophesies of the wise
old witeh. The evening was a
thoroughly enjoyable one, and
proved quite a delightful way of
helping the little folks.
