over which the state officials bsve some
supervision. It has come to be almost a
standing scandal of the state that as aoon
as a man is elected to a high position he
is made president or manager of some big
corporation which destrcs to make use of
hla name and prestige. This baa brought
a vast amount ot embarrassment on the
state. The system commenced yeara ago
and has continued until the present lime.
The executive council, which was organized

A farmer near Hull, who bought cattle at
4 cents, hss been oblige! to sell them at
S, and as the deal was rather a large one,
the shortage In the crop which compelled

PEOPLE ARE MUCH EXCITED
Closing of Fottoffice at Indianola, Missis
sippi, Hurts tbe Town.
TO MAINTAIN INDEPENDENT CONCERN
Mayor ays It Woald Xot Be Sofa for
the Colored Woman Postmaster
to Attempt to Reopen
Office.
INDIANOLA. Miss., Jan. 5. There can be
no mistaking the fact that a large portion
of this community is considerably wrought
up over the action of the government in
closing the postoffice here.
The partial paralysie to business Is being
felt more and more. Today a private office
was established for distribution of mall col
lected by an independent messenger service
from Heathmann and Greenville.
Both of these postofflces are being con
gested with mail as the result of the clos
ing of the postoffice. The Independent office
here will be maintained at the expense of
the citizens. No serious trouble is antici
pated by the more conservative people, but
precautions have been taken by both the
city and county officials to deputize a suffi
cient complement of men should the occa
sion demand.
Postoffice Inspectors are here checking up
the accounts of the abandoned office. A
large number of people publicly avow they
will not accept the negro woman as post
master under any circumstances, despite
the inconvenience which Is being suffered.
The night passed without t fecial Incident.
Wayne Cox, husband ot Minnie Cox, '.he
negro postmistress, who Is a clerk in the
railroad mail service, passed through here
on his regular run last night, but would
not discuss the matter. He has been in the
government service for fourteen yeara and
beara a good record.
An authorized statement from the mayor
lays that conditions are such that be would
not advise Mrs. '.'ox to npen the postoffice.
The mayor further stated that If the situa
tion at any time chows that the woman's
life, liberty or property are In jeopardy he
T ill twear In a sufficient number of men to
rfford her ample protection.
The undercurrent of excitement extends
to surrounding towns. A large Lumber of
strangers are here and more are arriving on
every train.
Office May Be Reopened.
WASHINGTON. Jan. f. Senator McLau
rln of Mississippi today conferred with
Postmaster General Payne on the aituatlon
St Indianola. Miss., where the postoffice baa
been closed as a result of antagonism to
tbe negro postmaster.
Subsequently Senator McLaurln stated
that he believed the office would be re
opened this week.
Mr. Payne said that the office will be re
opened If there la no Intimidation of the
postmaster.
