Clearing the Way for White Immigrants
Editor Summit Sentinel:

Editor Summit Sentinel:
notice in your issue of last week
an account of the Exodus still contin-
uing, and that some twenty-sevcn
ablc-bodied colored men from the VI
cinity Of Tyler Town passed through
Summit on their way to Bolivar county
where they will locate'
There has been, and is now a trem-
endous exodus from this vicinity as
your article states, but the cause of this
exodus Is not altogether on account of
the late "bulldozing outrages commit
ted" but on account of the late Elec-
tion-Bulldozing outrage aawell. While
bulldozing was bad enoughin in its effects
and had tendency to dissatisfy and
move some Of the eolored people
principally those of indolent habits, II
did not as general thing disturb those
who were honest and upright and try
ing to make citizens Of themselves.
Any of the best colored citizens of our
vicinity will tell you they did not fear
any personal violence at the hands Of
bulldozers, prior TO the Sth Of Novem-
ber last, bat the fact that the ballot
box was guarded by an armed body
of men, who turned them away from
the polls, and visited them at their
homes a few days before the election.
and warned them to stay away from
the election if they did not vote for the
z" Nominee. This, Mr. Editor, is the
prime factor which is figuring in this
Exodus. and every sensible man knows

Our eonfrere of the Clarksdale Ban
ner is very candid in confessing that
in his opinion YazoO and Sunhower
counties should retire from the Yazoo
Mississippi Delta District to take their
proper places in the lower levee dis
trict, which assuming the burden Of
the lower COahOma levees would afford
these counties adequate protection
protection which some of the front
counties, in the present attitude of
affairs. deem an outrage on their rights
His position is entirely logical that
Yazoo and Sunhower should be in the
district which keeps up this levee and
Yazoo and Sunfower both will fully
agree with him in that. Neither Va
zoo nor Sunhower would object to
the change they are invited to make,
and any district receiving them can
surely lose nothing.
As to the facts about the lower Goa
homa levee our eontempory admits
that logically. 1t should be in the dis
trict including Yazoo and Sunhower.
That disposes of the equities of the
matter, but the fact is the lower Goa
homa leyee was never part of the low
er levee district. At time when the
upper levee district had about gone
to pieces, before the formation of the
present upper district, the lower levee
district obtained permission from the
legislature to keep up the levee in
question. When the azoo-Mississippi
levee district was formed the lower
Coahoma levee was made a part, but
under the existing law, leading lawyers
gave as opinion that Bolivar county
had right to force the lower levee
district to keep up this levee as both
Yazoo and Sunhower had the right to
force the upper levee district. But
subsequent legislation has taken away
this right from Bolivar county and
only the upper levee district can be
legally compelled to keep up the lower
Coahoma levee. Yazoo and Sunhower
hate to be In a district which does not
desire thcm, but they are consoled by
the thought that they are paying
their full share for the privilege. We
are glad to see that a bill has been in
troduccd to define the boundaries OF
the two levee districts, and we hope
the vexed question win be laid at rest
forever. AS the Clarksdale Banner
suggests Yazoo and Sunfower should
be joined to the districts in which the
lower Coahoma levee is situated and
we agree, as stated previously, most
heartily, with the GREENvII.LE TINES
that the two counties should never be
taken from tho district in which that
levee is situated. Let the matter be
settled.-Yazoo Herald.

led by the title of bill introduced by

Thousands of Years Saved.

One may get some idea of what rail

money to passengers, by taking the
case of London. Ii is estimated that
about 800, ZOO persons. or about one
tenth of the population of the entire
area of the metropolis, require to travel
to and from their business every day
all the year round. If we remember
the distances, it is not too much to
assume that the railway will economic

average earnings of these 500, 600 peo-
pie to be f100 per annum each, not too
high an average when we remember
the number of .millionaires included in
the total, we shall see total money
saving, in the sense of time being
money, of equal to $3.50, 600 per annum.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Pure iron can not be made perma

only lasts while current of electricity
is circulating around it, and hence it is
called an electromagnetic.
Careful experiments have shown
that waste silk is the most effective OF

promises to be great, notwithstanding
the high price.

The new gas engine, known as the

Tea drinkers will welcome a new

1t has been proposed to do away
with the use of explosives in mines
where their use is attended with dan

cartridge portion of which is filled
with mixture of finely divided zinc
and zinc oxide, which collects in the
condensers of the zinc retort, while the
other part is filled with dilute sulphuric
acid. According to the requirements
in this case, the cartridge is put in its
intended place, and then, by suitable
mechanism. the acid is allowed to flow
into the zinc. Hydrogen is then evolved,
and, by its expansive force, the rock is
broken down, without combustion or
violent explosion.
