Simmons, W. R. - Ansley, Mr. M.E. - Champagne Supper given by Mr. M. E. Ansley - From the Ocean Springs Leader - The writer little thought when he called for champagne in last week's issue that his call would meet with so royal a response, but the champagne supper given by Mr. Ansley at the elegant apartments of the C. C. Club, on Washington Avenue last Monday proved it beyond a doubt. The artistic taste showed in the decoration room was simply grand, but when at 9:30 our host threw open the doors to the dining hall (where a feast fit for a king was spread) twas enough to take one's breath. The tables literally groaned under their loads, including all the delicacies of the season. Before each plate stood the silent sentinel, (Mumms Extra Dry), with here and there a bottle of the famous "Hochheimer," to be used, as our host expressed it, "to take the taste out of our mouths," or by those whose "tastes" ran in that direction. Added to this, music by the Cyclone Band, and you have a spread not to be surpassed by even the Four hundred. The toasts of the evening were at Mr. Ansley's request, made by the following named gentlemen: G. F. Halstead, W. R. Simmons and others. Mr. Ansley responding in his usual brilliant manner. The reception was given to celebrate the birth of Mr. Ansley's little daughter, "Myrtle". Long may she live and may her pathway through life be strewn with roses are the wishes of the Leader.

The negroes were not treated wherever it was possible and it can be said with confidence that they suffered no more than the whites except on ship passage.
However, with the passing of time and the constant arrival of black cargoes to the colony the whites were becoming alarmed by the increasing number of blacks and their alarm began turning to fear of an uprising. The blacks had been leaving the plantations to join the Indians inland and the frequent unrest of the Indians could easily be used as a mood to influence the negroes.
With this in mind, the "Black Code" was put into law.
This code was very fair to the negroes. It did forbid inter-marriage of the races but did protect them in a nuumber of ways. The white masters were to instruct the slaves in the Catholic Faith and provide for their families and families were not to be broken by slave sales. Bienville left the colony about the time of the posting of the code throughout the colony.
