LITTLE MOUNTAIN OIL MILL. The Bulding Being Given Fresh Coat of Paint-Woman's Mis sionary Society. Little Mountain, April 3.-The Woman's Home and Foreign Mis si,-nary society held its regular monthly meeting on the fourth Sun day night. The theme for consider ati-n was "The seed time." A num ber of passages of scripture were re cited explanatory of the sections of the subject, and an address was made by Prof. J. R. Unger bearing on what kind of seed we are sowing. The ad dress, though short, was to the point, as he gave some sound advice as to the moulding of character. The Little Mountain Oil Mill com pany is giving its building a coat of paint, which adds very much to their appearance. They would urge that all those who wish to make the ev --hange of seed for hulls and meal would bring them by April 5, as they will close down for the season after this week. Mr. J. J.

Negro Says He is Prevented From Holding Postoffice Job in A Commercial-Appeal special from Yazoo City, Tenn., says: The statement made by the negro, M. J. Hornsby, inl his complaint at the White House, that he is prevent ed from holding a position in the postoffice here by reason of maltreat -ment by white citizens, is strongly discredited here. Hornsby stood ex amination for a position in the local postoffice at a time when two clerk ships were vacant. The examma~tions were passed by three negroes and one white man. One of the vacancies was filled by Lee Cummins, a white man. The three negroes were ad vised by members of their own race not to accept positions in the office, as their acceptance might prove dis tasteful to the wvhite residents and possibly cause trouble. Two of the negroes withdrew their applications, stating that they desired positions as mail carriers, but not as clerks. Hornsby applied to Postmaster John P. Bennett for a position as clerk, but later, in writing, withdrewv his appli cation on being warned by white res idents that his appointment would not meet with the approval of the white people of the community. At that time, it is alleged, Hornsby .was carrying a loaded revolver and wvhen this was learnedi he was in structed to leave town at once or be arrested on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Hornsby im mediately left the city. The pistol, it is said, is being held as evidence, aganst Hornsby should he return tc Yazoo City. The story told by the negro is thus given in a dispatch from Washing ton: M. J. Hornsby, a young negro, whc twice passed a civil service examina tion and twice has been appointed.tc clerkships in the postoffice at Yazoo Miss., has complained at the Whit< House that he is prevented fron holding his position by reason of th< brutality of white citizens of Yazoo Hornsby was presented at the Whit< H ouse by the Rev. S. L. Corotheri but the pesidnt was unable to tak< tip the case because pra::tically all that remains of his time before leav ing for his western trip has been fill ed with engagements. The case was stated to Secretary Loeb. however, and Hornsby was referred to the civil service commissiort. According to the negro's story he entered on his duties at the Yazoo postoffice, where upon certain white patrons of the of fice thrashed him several times when he was caught going to and from his duties. This maltreatment resulted in the resignation of Hornsby, but he took the examination for the vacancy that was created by his own resigna tion. Others who took the examina tion were two negro men, one ne gress and two white men. Hornsby passed the best examination and again was appointed. While return ing from Jackson. Miss., where his bond was fixed up. Hornsby noticed a gathering of white people near the train after it had entered the Yazoo railroad yards. He left the train and azi2mpted to escape. but was over taken and carried off to an oil mill, where some of the members of the mob counselled lynching and others whipping the negro. Hornsby agreed to write out his resignation and leave Yazoo never to return. The resigna tion was sent to Washing ton and Hornsby followed it. He is seeking relief. but is not sure of the character of relief he wants. He 2 says he is afraid to return to Yazoo. C C A. Conan Doyle-Restrained Auto mobilist. A. Conan Doyle, whose new Sher lock Holmes stories are just being C brought out in book form by Mc- C Clure-Phillips, under the title, "The r Return of Sherlock Holmes," has r been stricken with the same malady that has so seriously affected Kip ling and a number of other writers in recent years. He has gone automo bile mad. His frenzy is not, however, Y likely to prove fatal, to himself or to I others, because of the good care he I is having during the first paroxysms 3 of the disease, from his mother. Mrs. Doyle is a quiet little woman, who has been passing a sweet and peace ful old age in a vine-covered cottage in Yorkshire. She has a fathomless admiration for her famous son. The successes of "Arthur" are her life; the bread and meat of her daily con versation. When the automobile mania seized Dr. Doyle, she felt that duty called her to his side. She left her vine-clad cottage and went to her son. When he wanted to take a spin in his ma chine, she took her courage in her hand and climbed into the front seat with him, and placed a cautioning fin ger upon his arm as he opened the throttle. And now the chickens, andi the sheep, and the cows, of the coun try round live: in peace, for they have nothing to fear from the snort ing machine with the sweet-faced, gray-hair little woman by the driver on the front seat, for they will have plenty of time to get out of the way.
