NORRIS SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF
Facts Kclatlng to the Intellectual Ad-
vancement ot the Negro.
Hoc* Township. May 4.—Editor Thk
State Capital: I inutt beg your par-
don, and at the same time beg your
indulgence. Unfortunately for me 1
have been drawn from the broad and
liberal defeuse of my people to the
personal defense of myself. The Or-
lando Herald had a two column arti-
cle in lust week's issue denouncing me
for my defense of the negro, agaiust
the vile and bitter epithets heaped
upon them by those who have always
hated him, not for what he has done,
but for what he is doing, goiug ahead
obeying the laws and throwing off the
barriers that come in the way of hon-
est, manly effort, and keeping pace
with the good and Ood-fearing Ameri-
can people, the prejudice of the less
informed who denounce a race cf peo-
ple without cause, to the contrary not-
withstanding.
The Herald says, "We have no ob-
jection to the negro stayiug here."
Uow far back does this go? It is of
very recent date that you did object,
ain't it? Miss llerald, old girl, you
are in the backwoods yet. The negro
has the confidence already of the in
telligent, Christian Americaus, and
are trying to get further into their
good graces; in the future, as in the
past, never to betray them. The Old
Aunty wants to know if I want legis-
lative enactments to coerce associa-
tion. No. Sensible men and women
have long since gave up the ungodly
saying that the negro has no soul, and
have accepted the science of philoso-
phy that water seeks its level. So
will men and women everywhere.
Now 1 would like to ask the dear girl
if at auy time a negro man or woman
has ever tried to associate with her, or
has she ever tried to associate with
them, and is mad because the could
not? No; I do not seek the associa-
tion of anyone, but am trying to get
out of the reach of those dying, war-
like cries of negroes forcing himself
on white men.
An eminent statesman of the south
said just after reconstruction that h
Brother Jack or his mark(er), there
has beeu association between man and
man for hundreds of years before you
and I, and after we are gone to our
long home up in Texas they will asso-
ciate. And you will learn yet that

HELD TO THE ORAM) .U RY,
Public Sent Intent ban I inlergone a Change
lu Favor ol the Accuaed.
Pond Creek Vidette: The prelimin-
ary trial of ex-County Treasurer(ireeu
came to a close last Saturday evening
by Mr. Ureen being bound over, to
await the action of the grand jury, in
the sum of Si,500. 1'ublic sentiment
seems to have undergone a great
change since the trial commenced, and
there are very few who believe that
Any of the ex county officials are really
guilty of having committed any crime.
The action of those in charge of the
prosecution in making arrests before
notifying the parties to make good the
alleged shortage is severely censured
by many fair minded men of all politi-
cal parties, and especially by attorneys
not interested in the case, but who
realize that there is a decent and legal
way to reach sueh matters.
It will be remembered that this
paper, when Mr. Heard, of Kansas,
first commenced work on the books of
the couuty, stated that he was a clerk
in r dry goods store. His testimony
on the witness stand reveals the fact
that he has worked in a general mer-
chandise store nearly all the time for
the last three years, aud that three
months prior to his coming here will
cover the tfntire time that he has been
an "expert" on his own account. Per-
sonally we consider Mr. lieard a gen-
tleman and we nave nothing to say
against him, but his employment by
this county us an expert only adds one
ore to the long list of mistakes mad
.vw—.. ....... ..w by the new county officials. We repeat

parable; that it was necessary that
there should be unity, peace and con-
cord between the races. Had Mother
Heraid been there she would have said
that that man of intelligence and
wealth, right in the hotbed of slavery,
was seeking negro association.
In 18ti5 there were 4,00(1,000 negroes
in the south forbidden by law to read;
4,000,000 can read today, 3,000,000 can
write. Froa owning nothing in 1 s« 5
they own today of taxable property
8300,000,000. Negro labor produces
two-thirds of the cotton, four fifths of
the sugar and nine-tenths of the rice
in the United States. This is the kind
of association we want. This is the
kind of confidence we have among the
noble-hearted, brave,American people.
Don't get scared Hrother.Iaek on his
inark(er). Slavery once existed in
Kngland, but since that time a negro
has been knighted. In France he has
been decorated with the star of the
Legion of Honor.
He contented, Jack, that almost all
prejudice has died out there against
the black man and is dying out here,
nore than one hundred residents of
this county who are fully as competent
as Mr. Heard to check up the county
books, and in all cases perference
should be given to home people, other
things being equal. We believe Mr.
Heard has labored hard to find a
shortage in the county records, indeed
it would be strange did he not do so,
especially when we recall the fact that
the commissioners offered a reward of
#300 for the discovery of a shortage
amounting to $1.200 or more, by way
of contingent lee.
Mr. Worcester's case came up Wed-
nesday. He waived preliminary ex-
amination and his bond was fixed at
S.'i,()()( ,a qualified bond being required,
which was promptly given, but was
objected to by the county attorney,
and two thousand additional was added
to it by Mr. Worcester's friends, leav-
ing no room for further objections,
and the bond was approved by Judge
Rogers.
