WANT HIGHER PAY;
OTHERS OPPOSE II
The four hours of wandering in a labj«
rlnthlal innate, discussing, fussing slid
"cussing" Thursday over the report to raise
the salaries of a number of city officials
will be almost ns nothing beside what Is
scheduled to happen at the next session
of council.
Tho salary committee hns Introduced an
ordinance, which will request the legislature
to amend tho c|ty charter so as to allow
city councilman and aldermen to he paid
$t*0 per year, Instead of $300, as hereto*
for**. This ordinance has been drawn up
and tiled hi the clerk’s office.
It Is provided therein that the senator
from this district and the representatives
from this county shall be acquainted with
the adoption of the orditmuee, and that
they shall l»e urged to do their utmost to
have the legislature so change tho city
charter.
There are n number of councilman who
are unalterably opposed to the proposed
raise. Then* are others who as earnestly
r tho "raise. When the matter comes
there Is sure to lie a heated discus
sion. The raise will amount In total to
$7,200 |»6r year.
There nr** those who contend that tho
statement of Dr. Broughton In regard to
the small pay of coiiiiciliiieu. In which, it Is
.Hinted, then* was nit Intimation of graft,
has l*-d to the pr**pos**U raise. Others ve
hemently deny this. #
The action of council on this mntter will
be watched with great interest.

Haclehurst, Miss., Nov. 7.—Emotional in
sanity Is the plea of Mrs. Angle Birdsong,
the child-wife of l)r. J. F. Birdsong, ntul
the niece of Baited States Kenntor Me-
Laurln, In her defense of the charge of hav
ing murdered her old family physician,
Dr. Thomas F. Butler. Soon after the tak
ing of testimony had beguu counsel for the
defense went straight to the question
whether the so-called "unwritten law" Jus-
tiflod Mrs. Birdsong's set, and they secured
a strong position In their client's favor,
through tin* court's ruling. This ruling wus
asked by the defense In cross-examination,
whether Dr. Butler had ever told tho wit
ness, U. N. Miller, of his relations with
Mrs. Birdsong. The Jury was sent from
tho rooiu und a sharp debate was engaged
In upon the admissibility of this evidence.
Judge Miller declared that he would re
quire of the defense evidence to prove that
each of the statements admitted was re
peated to the defendant. Tho remarks about
Mrs. Birdaoug were based on notes alleged
to have been written by her to Dr. Butler.
Evidence taken was to establish the fact
of the shooting.
Mrs. Birdsong appeared calm and self-
'assessed at the session. Her husband, who
ins been Indicted as an accessory, but who
i not on trial, manifested keen concern lu
he evidence submitted.
Mrs. Birdsong, talking with friends In tho
court holts**, said: "Of course I killed
him. I shot him as I would a snake. He
ruined my reputation and there was nothing

Miss Fisher has Interested herself In

In discussing her views of tho negro

"The great 'problems' of any nation

and Immediate decision of Its people,
but by a slow adjustment of condi

can bring about. So It must he with
ttils most recent question of vital
meaning to our country—tho race
problem.
"To me, a Northern woman, who
heretofore bus based Iter knowledge of
the negro upon history und book lore,
this problem is at Us core a purely
physical one. Before I ever came In
direct contact with negro conditions
I studied them as one studies all types
of Immunity, studied about their thick
black skin, their primitive bruin con
struction, their naturally uncultivated
tastes and habits.
"They represented to me n good
- '
specimen of one of God's lower or

a lower order of His universal plan:
for although we may tHlk of the

•'This Is not an argument for ’caste*

an acknowledgment of a universal

velopment is Impossible by absolute

can solve; a scheme which works und
will work for all eternity to one sure
end; 'The survival of the fittest'—nnd
the fittest, according to all physical law
Is humanity's highest type—the white
man,
"This undercurrent of nice contention
Is nn inevitable result of new and rad
ical changes In t*>lftiral conditions. It
is small at its vital core, and will fndn
Into oblivion before the big eternal
