THE ARE THEY COWARDS? Nashville Negroes Witness White Man's Brutal Assaulton Colored Ladies. OFFER NORESISTANCE Some of the Many Tortures in Dixie Life! Saturday night about nine o'clock there was committed on the Public Square, the most brutal assault ever witnessed in this city. Miss Mayme Brooks and her mother, Mrs. Mahala Brooks went in the Grimes & Robinson Dry Goods Store to make a purchase. The article purchased came to 15 cents. Miss Brooks gave the clerk 50 cents. When the package was returned to Miss Brooks there was no change. Miss Brooks insisted that there was 35 cents due her. The floor walker went to the office and made inquiry and found that Miss Brooks was right. He therefore gave her the change and tore the check, up and threw it on the floor, and began to abuse Miss Brooks and ordered her out of the store. She told him he had no right to abuse her, that she had only demanded what she knew was due her. He, the floor walker, grew more abusive and then threatened to have Miss Brooks arrested, and ran out in the street as if for an officer. Miss Brooks and her mother started out of the store, and when they reached the door, the brute plunged from his hiding and struck Miss Brooks a blow that knocked her down. Miss Brooks rushed to the aid of her daughter, and he then turned upon her and knocked her down. At this juncture another clerk in the store ran out and held Miss Brooks while the associate beat her mother. In a short while a great crowd had gathered, both white and black men, but no one offered to take the part of the ladies. Black men stood and looked on as if the combatants had been all men in a fair fight. It was not until the porter who works in the store saw what was going on, did any one mole the brutes who were beating up two helpless women. The porter ran out and knocked the brutes off of the ladies and they both ran in the house like dogs. Miss Brooks was almost exhausted from fright and the assault, but she controlled herself as best she could and with her infirm mother sought an officer and had the floor walker arrested. He was carried to Squire Hyde's and his employer. Mr. Robinson, made bond for him. The trial was set for Monday, at nine o'clock, but was postponed until Thursday at ter o'clock. Mrs Brooks employed Attorney Bible Jacobs to look after the case. Mrs. Brooks has not fully recovered from the assault yet. She is very weak, having an affected heart. Mrs Mayme Brooks has been an employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board several years. She had her feeble mother with her Saturday night because she did not care to be out alone. She is a member of the choir of the Spruce Street Baptist church, and is a regular worker in the church and Sunday School.—Nashville Globe. --- The above clipping from the Nashville G'obe of one of the most cowardly and brutal assaults ever attenuated upon womanhood. It occurred in front of one of the largest Dry Goods Stores in the down-town district of Nashville, before a large crowd that had been attracted by the loud cursing of the assailants. The gang was made up of whites and blacks, all of whom, too cowardly and mean to interfere, but silently wathed the knocking down of an old and helpless woman and her daughter, given white brute. Good God, Almighty, is it possible that the Negroes of Nashville are so cowardly, so indifferent and mean that they will witness an assault of that kind on any woman—black or white, by any man of any race and not make some effort to protect the delicate and helpless. Is "Southern Chivalry" a thing of the past. Never before did we suppose, even decent white men would stand by and permit an assault of that character, even by one of their own race—say nothing of a lot of Negroes allowing such an attack on a woman of their race. The young lady did well to have the pale shinned reptile arrested, and if she is treated fairly in court; if he is given justice, he will spend some time behind the prison bars. We advocate the public whipping post, and whip the hide, not the clothes, and further advocate that the wronged person or some one of her choice be empowered to handle the whip. If the facts are as represented and if the courts and juries are not both cowardly, ignorant and dishonest, there will be, as there should be, a severe punishment administered to the floor walker, who made the assault. NEWTON, HARVEY COUNTY, KANSAS. Mr. J. N. Smith is our choice for sheriff of Tarvey County. He has served as under sheriff at a small salary, taking the responsibility of seeing that the prisoners intrusted to him did not escape. Though the fall is a very frail one, and several prisoners have broken out, only one has escaped. Mr. Smith is an experienced, competent man. He is the right man for the place. He has lived here for the past thirty-two years, and we know him to be a fair and impartial man, regardless to race, creed or color, and if elected he promi-es some good service in the future. The voters of Harvey County will make no mistake in casting a vote for him, and he will appreciate anything you do success.—Adv. Personals.

The Fifth District Will Elect a Bright Statesman and True Republican. Hon. W. A. Calderhead, the old Roman of the Fifth Congressional district has been selected to represent the people at the next congress in Washington. The voters will ratify their work at the polls next November. He is a statesman, scholar and a gentleman of whom any country The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person, but the details are not clear. 1 might we'll feel proud. He has served his district for years, and has only been taking a lay off during the past four years to let the people of the district see the difference between a real congressman and a make-shift. They both see and feel who imagines Washington but failed to Everybody taking Calder majority of assured beyond Phoenix is Prosperous! Bustling Arizona City Has Many Thrifty Colored People. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 20.—The colored population of Phoenix is about 1,000. They are as a whole, very thrifty and enterprising; ninety per cent of them being property owners. The newcomer is at once impressed with the "Phoenix Spirit"—the motto of all is, "Own Your Home." We have one watchmaker and repair man, Mr. William Pace. His business is steadily increasing and he enjoys an enviable patronage. One real estate broker and business chance man, Mr. M. H. Shelton. His business compares favorably with that of any of the larger white real estate agents. He has sold more homes to colored people in the past two years than all the white real estate agencies combined. His business is not alone confined to selling to colored people, as he has closed some deals for his white patrons that ran up into six figures.

Everybody in the district was expecting the postoffice in their immediate vicinity from promises made by an inexperienced youngster 100 who imagined that he could go to Washington and control the world, but failed to deliver the goods. Everybody in the Fifth district is talking Caddiehead, that is a large majority of them. His election is assured beyond a doubt. formerly of Topchu, Kun-us. His business is steadily increasing as he turns out only first-class work. Two first-class restaurants, one being conducted by Mr. Samuel Reeves and the other by a Mr. Jackson.

One private hall for lodge meetings and the like, owned and managed by Mr. Allen Smith. Smith's hall centrally located and is the meeting place of all the colored lodges. Two grocery stores, one being conducted by Mr. Mimms and the other by Mr. Credile. They both enjoy a liberal white patronage aside from the colored trade which is theirs. Space will not permit me to mention all the business enterprises run and conducted by Negroes in Phoenix as they would fill a whole page. However, I shall from time to time try and make mention of them all. Nearly all the business men here subscribe for The Plaindealer. That fact coupled with the success of their business, shows that they are enterprising race men. Mr. J. O. Green has just completed a 12-room apartment house.

A pall of gloom was cast over the Cook family by the death of their youngest son, Elias. The death of Mr. Cook was very unexpected, his closest friends and relatives not even realizing the seriousness of the operation. He leaves two brothers and a host of heartbroken friends and a mother to mourn his loss. Our sympathy goes out to the grief-stricken family in their hour of bereavement. Mrs. Charles Fish has returned from a pleasant stay in California. Mr. Fish is again wearing his pleasant smile after two months of melancholy. Mr. George P.

AT MUSKOGEE we were surprised to find that the President had appointed as postmaster, a half breed Indian, who since holding this position has learned to differentiate between the white and colored patrons. When we approached his sanctorium, the moment we entered the door, we were ordered in a loud tone of voice to remove our hats, and were given to understand by this blanketed halfbreed that he required the colored people to lift their hats when they approached him. We inquired if the government required him to make a difference between the white and colored, and why the colored people were required to approach him with bared heads, and he growled in very poorly mixed up English that it was his custom. We told him he should be taking off his hat to us as he begged for the job and was our servant—a servant of the people and that he was not their boss. This aroused all the savage blood of his tribe, but however, it was up to him and he had to swallow it. We think this class of people should be taught a lesson and when the matter is reported to Senator Owens he should take out and teach him how to run the postoffice and e a servant of the people and not their boss, and it will go a long ways towards making Muskogee a first-class postoffice. A man who has just shed his "breech clout" should not get so gay, because the government has given him a position and he wears a Walenstein suit. We shall take the gentleman's (?) case up with the government and let them know of the actions of this man, who thinks he owns the postoffice and all of the people's that have occasion to visit it! BEST ENAMEL WORK IN CHINA PAINTING. Miss Gertrude Owens Awarded Highest Honor at State Fair. Miss Gertrude Owens, of this city, and a teacher in the public schools at Wichita, was awarded first prize at the State Fair in Topeka for the finest enamel work in china painting.

Her work was on display in the Art department, which was under the supervision of Miss Marie Witmer, 1125 Western avenue, and the judges were from Kansas City, Mo. Miss Owens also had a water color painting on exhibition, which was greatly admired, and would no doubt have captured first prize on this work but she did not send it in time to be Price $1.50 Per Year. HE'S FAIR TO ALL MEN! Gov. Hodges Replies to His Critics on the Race Question. CAN BLACKS REFUSE TO VOTE FOR MEN LIKE HODGES? Read and Consider Before Taking a Step. Moline, Kansas, 7-14-14. Gov. Geo. II. Hodges, Topeka, Kansas. My dear George: I beg to advise that there is quite a number of Traveling Salesmen, who are against you this year account of some stand they allege you have taken in regard to the colored men and women in Kansas as to a Jim Crow law or something of that kind. A vote of 16 on the train sometime ago, I understand revealed the fact that 9 Democrats and 3 Republicans out of 16 were against you ... This for your information. Yours truly, J. H. EDWARDS. Sedan, Kans., P. O. *** Mr. J. H. Edwards, Sedan, Kansas. My dear Sir:— I have your letter of the 14th in which you say there are a number of traveling men who will vote and use their influence against me because of the stand that I have taken rela- tive to the colored men and women of this state. I am sorry indeed that the travel- ing men who are of a class of the keenest, most intelligent and most active of any organization in the state, should have a feeling against this administration for the reasons you have stated. I was a traveling man in this state for a number of years, representing a lumber manufacturing concern. I do not care to discuss the matter, but I doubt very much that the traveling men are unfair as you have suggested. They are too big, too broad gauged and too much of gentlemen to entertain the narrow, distorted face prejudice that your letter suggests that they entertain. Nine-terth of the men and women of this state, irrespective of politics, were indignant at the attitude of a few narrow partisans who live in Kiowa, Kansas, and who petitioned and insisted that I should compel a poor colored woman, whom we paroled to one of the best business men in Kiowa, to leave Kiowa and go to some other place to make her living. This poor, defenseless colored woman who had made a single misstep, was entitled to as much courtesy as any other man or woman in the state who had made a similar misstep, even though their color is white. She was entitled to the same help, and frankly, we used the same effort to get her a good position, good wholesome, Christian surroundings and with a good family who would help her over the rough places that all paroled people have to travel, and help her to retain a respectable place in the world again. I am glad of the part of this pitiful drama in human life that was accorded to me. In my message to the legislature, I stated there was no necessity for a Jim Crow law in Kansas, and there is no necessity for a Jim Crow law in Kansas and you may say to the few men who are objecting to my attitude on the Jim Crow law, that there will be no Jim Crow law in Kansas so long as I am Executive of this state. I feel that your letter to me is inspired by the best of motives, but I do not want a man or a woman in Kansas to vote for me, under the misapprehension as to my position on the race question, or any other question of moment that must be settled by the voters of this state. With very kindest regards, I am Sir Gregory yours. GEO. H. HODGES, Governor. Majors' Oxford College of Hair Culture 4246 W. Belle Place, St. Louis, Mo.
