The wealth of the Massachusetts dele

Chicago is alleged to have totaled more

much money.

The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
‘“Negroes compose 25 per cent. of the
) votes registered in Birmingham under
the permanent suffrage plan of the new
constitution. That doesn’t look like dis
franchisement,”
The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem)
says: ‘‘The Taft speech is an indication
that Candidate Roosevelt does not think
the future of the Philippines a promising
issue, and those partisan organs that sud
denly hailed it as such have, probably
“gone off half-cocked.” , ‘

An Appeal to the Town |
Council. i
““A chain is no stronger than its weak- i
est link,” The roadsr&t the County is
building to bring to the 'corporate limits ‘
of Leesburg are a slam on the roads in- :
side of the town. You can shut your t
eyes and tell where the country roads f
stop You get into sand beds knee deep, '
’The town streets are a reflection on the |
County. City fathers do let us have'
‘some improvement. The sidewalks when
it rains are many of them shoe deep in
water, it is impossible to get about with- |
out getling wet and badly wet. The 3
weeds and grass in the streets are harbors
for germs of disease and mosquitoes and
render it impossible to cross in many
places after a heavy dew, besides the fear
of snakes is a terrible meanace to the citi- I
zens generally, City fathers will we have
to take advantage of the law that pro
' vides where the streets of a town are not
| worked in three months it shall be the|
duty of the Justices to call out all the
road hands and work them., We appeal
to you,
CITIZEN.

The Nezre Population.
The final bulletin issued by the census
bureau gives some interesting informa
tion concerning the negro population of
the United States, including Alaska,
Hawaii and Porto Rico, This number is
shown to be 9,204,531, perhaps a larger
population of this character than is found
in any other country outside of Africa.
The report indicates that between 11
and 16 per cent of the negro population
have (or are believed by the enumerators
to have) some degree of white blood. The
center of the negro population is in De-
Kalb county, Ala., about fous miles from |
the wesiern-boundary of Georgia, having
moved thence from Dinwidde county.
Va., 476 miles northeast, since 17%0. ' Al
most go per cent of the negroes in conti
nental United States are in the Southern
states, and three tenths of them are.in
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama,

Dont Disfranchise the Most of the
Counnty:
Elect the County Cominissioners by
the people.
Mr. Voter—Suppose yon pay half of
the tax of Lee County and are not on the
grand jury. Do you have a word to say
in the selection of the men who are your
commissivners and run the financial af
fairs af your County. v
Or are.you to all effects and purposes
disfranchised when it comes to the elec
tion of the most important officers iu the
county. Dou’t it amount to this, Sumter
county and other cSunties elect the board
of Commissioners, The voters of Lee
county should demand the right, if y'ou
don’t get up and fight for your rights
you will never get them, start at once to
agitating the matter and petition your
next legislature to pass a law of this kind
Five hundred voters certainly have more
rights than twenty men who compose a
a grand jury.

Mims, J. A. Lipsey, D.D. Hall, as direc

much needed want has been supplied,
and the amount of good that the town
will receive from this bauk is inestimable
with the Gentleman who stands at the
head of this institution means a success
and the upbuilding of Leesburg. |
