JUDGE MILLER OF THE POLICE COURT ASSAILED BY A SCURRILOUS SHEET. A LIE THAT THE CITIZENS WILL NOT SUSTAIN. There isone man in this city and whe presides over the Police Court ot this city whom the citizens of color holdin high es- teem. When he was appointed Judge of the Police Court the presumption of a few colored peo- ple was that President Cleveland had appointed a man who was ini- mieal to the colered people. At the time of the appointment the editor of this paper, who had always knew Mr. Miller, although a democrat, said that President Cleveland had appointed a good man, and a friend to the oppressed Ne- gro. The best citizens as well as the editor of this paper knew that no better man could have been ap- pointed to succeed Judge Snell. The editor compared him, so faras giving justice to the Negro, with his Honor Judge McArthur and even Judge Montgomery, another democratic Judge appointed by Mr. Cleveland has demonstrated his fairness and good will for untortun te colored criminals. In regard to Judge Miller, the BEE wants tosay no person who has visited the Police Court can say that he is un- kind or uniair to colored crimi- nals. The record shows that he has more care to right the wrongs a- gainst the race than any republi- can Judge that has ever sat oa the bench. Some time ago a young man by the name of James H. Cromwell, a nephew of Mr. J. W. Cromwell, took charge of his un- cle’s paper and who has demon- strated the fact that he is a con- summated fool, possessing more eg- otism than braines, in an issue of his paper a few weeks ago he un~ dertook to correct a wrong that only existed in his imagination ; to wit, that two colored boys were con- fined in the cells of the Police Ovuurt over night without any thing to eat. Judge Miller’s atten- tion was called to the article re ferred to and directed the Olerk of the Court, Mr. Howard C. Clegett, an accomadating young man, to investigate the matter, which re- sulted in the following letter to the young man who dubbs himself editor : Police Court of the D. of C., Clerk’s Office, Nov. 27, ’89. To the Editor of the People’s Advocate: Dear Sir: The Judge of the Police Court is in receipt of a copy of your paper of Nov, 23d. The enclosed article being called to his attention, he ordered me to investi- gate the matter immediately. As a mat- ter of fact no such thing ever happened. No boy of any kind or description was detained at the Police Court over night, during last week, or at any other time. Such a thing weuld not be tolerated a single moment. The two boys, and the only two who were committed to tie re form school duriog the week refered too in your article were transferred to that institution on the day of commitment. Feeling that you have been imposed up- on by some one whohas a greater loye for sensation than regard for the truth I have taken the liberty of sending this denial. That there might be no mis- take, I repeat that no Negro boy, nor white boy, or any other kind of boy, has during the last week, nor atany other time confined at the Police Court from Tuesday until Wednesday afternoon, with or without food, und that the per- son who gave the ADVOCATE such infor fation either did not know what he was talking about or else wilfully Imposed up- onthe reliable journal by perpetrating upon it a deliberate falsehiod. Respectfully, Howard C. Clagett, Clerk. Notwithgstanding the card of Mr. Clagett, refuting the charges made, written at the request of the Jadge, he goes still further and this time puts his footin it, by calling Lawyers Hewlett, Moss and Ricks, “PURJURERS’”” “we can’t see how the Clerk of the Court could make a consistant charge against a prisinor without data bearing on the case—when, arrested where and offense. Bad record, Mr. Clerk. ‘This much we have to say, that it mat- ters not, if they were kept in the Police Court cell or the Station House wit! out food, the length of time in our charge, it was inhuman, and with things as the: are, We will not withdraw our charge. Wo think, as the gentleman who came from the Reform School after the boys, that it was a shame to keep them all that time without food. The Judge, as said before, concecds that they were 24 hours without food, and haying authorized his clerk to make a denial. makes it worse by false and misleading statements. The part played by Lawyers Hewlett, Moss and Ricks, is that soft ‘‘act”’ of incurring the good will and favor of the Court. ‘Tis mighty bad for lawyers, professing as they do, a Knowledge of the law, to swear to something they don’t kaow. Perjurers of the deepest dye. [alk about vour race pride! The honor of the Court way be sustained, but the part played by Clerks Clagget and Marper, the testimony of Station keeper Tayman, and the pushing J. .

It secure it to any harness, in three same in any way, right out in the street. is so arranged that any one can minutes, without cutting the It can be taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch- ing and unbitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. lt is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is reqaired. The Bolt is re- movable secured so as to allow wora. The particular advantage the spring to be removed when this device possesses over oth- ers consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same m ay be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as hasbeen heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be- ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal from the velicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. of Lawyers Hewlett, Moss and Ricks cer- tainly involves a dark act. Circumstances force us to believe that Weaver and Roy, (at least Roy,) were kept the length of time we charged without food.” These gentlemen owe it to them- selves and this community to make this man make good his charges. Such statements as these tend to do harm in this community, and no citizen will believe that Judge Miller ill treats any prisoner nor will it be believed that Messers. Hew lett, Moss and Ricks pujrurel themselves by testifying to tie trathfulness of Mr. Clegett’s letter. Such men at the head ot a news- paper tend to do more harm to the race than good and where there is aman who doesa fair thing towards the colored people he should de respected and his acts appreciat- ed.

One of the growing towns of the South, is situated on both sides of 3avancab, Florida & Western Railroad, just twelve miles from Jacksonville, Fla. It is > a and level, and a tad cultural and truck-growing section of the State. Dinsmore can be easily reached from Jacksonville by railroad, by water touuws, or by aa hour and a half drive over an excel lent plank and shell rea. Dinsmore is not one of the ison ted — that dhe laid out os paper, but a thriving prosperous town that recommends itself te capitalist and laborer, to fathers and wives who are vigilant over their own interests and the welfare of their children, to those who are seeking homes and those who have capital to invest for speculation. The®land can be obtained at re- markably low figures and on terms suitable to the condition of every purchaser. At the present low figures a poor man can make regu- lar payments ona valuable home with less than the aggregate of unnecessary expense or money act- ually thrown away. Iv is an in- vestment that one cannot regret and through which you will realize manyatimes the amount invested. Ths prices are for Front Business Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec- ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice $15. Fourth choice $10. Fifth choice, $5.

Our terms are one fourth cash and balance in one, two and three years. e The chain of title will be short and strong. It is from the State of Florida to the Railroad and from thf Railroad to you. Truck farming around Dinsmore would be at the door of two of the grea‘ast markets in the South. Let every®oor man if w*th but one dollar, commence to buy a lot in Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson- ville and return is only twenty-five cents.. Think of it. There are eight passenger trains per day and the roand trip will only cost twen- ty-five cents.
