Judge Pritchardls Firm PRISONERS RELEASED. Asheville, N. C., July 22—The penal- ty clause of the new State Rate Bill was declared unconstitutional and void by United States Judge Pritchard to- day. James H, Wood, district passen- ger agent of the Southern, and C, Wil- son, ticket agent of the same road, who were recently sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for violation of the law, were discharged on habeas corpus | proceedings. } In his decision Judge Pritchard said that the penalties inflicted by the statute , would close the doors to a judicial hear- ing, and would amount to two and a | half million dollars a day if the penalty was enforced on the sale of each ticket, ‘which is eight times more than the |amonut involved in the original suit. | Also that it would do violence to the comity which exists between the State *| and Federal courts.

The following arc JOHN W. McGAW. The citizens of this city are very anx- ious to see such a man a member of the Excise Board as Mr. John W. Mc- Gaw, one of the most thérough business men in this city. Mr. McGaw is a man who as a level head as welk as a judicial mind. His appointment as a member of the Excise MR. JOHN E. McGAW. Board would meet the approval of the people. What the people are mostly in need of in the Excise Board is a man who is in sympathy with them and the property of all the people. His knowledge of real estate and whiskey licenses should be granted, and where and what the property interest, in this city, is in need of, at this time, should be given to a man who is qualified for the place, and no better man can be found than Mr, McGaw.

( There is not a white man to be seen except there may be a white officer to accompany them. If you want to see the discrimination you should go to-the workhouse, and then you. will see all you desire. The school agitators have coimc to realize the fact that the day is fast ap-| proaching when there will be white teachers in the colored schools but no colored teachers in the white schools. I congratulate the principal or teacher | in a school room that doesn’t tattle. | Such a teacher has the confidence and respect of a sensible supervisor. Ai tattler is a dangerous being in any com-! munity. A teacher that does his duty | is entitled to respect and encouragement. Of course there are some people who love a tattler or informer. Both the tattler or informer and the person who listens are dangerous alike. The president of; Howard University | | will not give audience to a tattler. The accused and the accuser must confront; each other. Thus you see that tattling| is broken up at this great institution. I would like to know who is the Re- corder of Deeds, J. C. Dancy or Dutton. It seems to me that all.reports emanat- ing from the recorder’s office should travel under the name of the Recorder of Deeds and not his deputy. Mr. } Dancy should see that such discontinues. Suppose the secretary to the District Commissioners publishes something, ap- pearing that he authorized it instead of the Commissioners, how long would he hold his job? | | | { Fairplay.

He asked many questions about the work, and stated that the raising of the lowly of our race up to a higher plane was a work that called for willing work- ers ,and that he was glad to leng his mite. Mrs.-Fernandez feels and believes that if others will but follow the action of Mr, Tyler a great work can be done in reclaiming the wayward and ameli- orating the condition of hundreds of the poor and unfortunate young of our race. The social settlement work can be, and ought to be, made a great means to a beneficial end. The work calls for vol- unteers, calls for men and women who are interested in the uplifting of the whole race. BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXCUR- SIONS.

Richardson, who was elect- ed president of the Wholesale Drug Ex- change at-its last meeting in this city, a few weeks ago, is one of the best- known druggists in the country. He conducts one of the best and largest stores at 310 4 1-2 street, southwest, ia this city and does a flourishing business. Indeed his store reminds one of an upy to-date wholesale house, with the num- ber of clerks he employs. If there is any drug or medicine thet is not found in this store, then it cas not be gotten in Washington. His rem- edies for colds, rheumatism and aggra- vating coughs are of his own prepara- ; ton; and they are found in nearly ev- ery drug store in this country, The doctor is a great friend to the masses, and hundreds of prescriptions during the year are filled free for those who are too poor to pay. This and many other , kind acts of his have*won for him the friendship of thousands of the best citi- zens of both races. Dr. W. S. Richardson was born im Vermont, and was educated there in the public schools. After graduating from which he entered college, where he graduated in pharmacy. He then came to Washington and engaged in the drug , business, where he has made great suc- cess for twenty-two ycars, and now caf- jries on one of the largest businesses of is kind in the city. He was one of the | DR. W. S: RICHARDSON. candidates for delegates to the National Republican Cohvention, but was unsuc- cessful, His friends are now suggesting him as a member of che Republican National Committee for the District, and it is very. likely that he will be named for the place in such event. It is probable «that his friends will again insist on send- ling him to the National Convention, He is a Republican and is not afraid to pull off his coat and work for his friends. | He would make an ideal National Committeeman.
