In late letter to the Magnolia Ga
zette, Col. J. l.. Power well says: In
view of the fact that there are quite a
number of first class book and job
printing offices in Mississippi, it does
seem absurd and unnecessary that all
the public printing for the State shall
be done outside of it during the next
two years. If competition for this
work was restricted to Mississippi of
fees the State would get its work at
very low figures and home publishers
would be encouraged to equip them
selves for large contracts" Col. Power
is right. The policy of business men,
county and State officials, giving their
printing to outside concerns which pay
no taxes in Mississippi, and who have
no other interest in the State than the
money they can garner out of it, ought
to cease. Encourage home enterprise
should be the motto of Mississippians
along all lines.

MISSISSIPPI INDIANS.
\ Most Interesting Report
Concerning Them.

The biennial report of State Super
intendent Whitfield to the Legislature
will contain a report on the educa
tional condition of the Indians of the
State, prepared at the Superintendent
request by Mr.. II. S. Halbert, of New
ton county. The report of Mr.. Hal
bert has Just been submitted, and it is
of especial interest not only because
of its accurate portrayal of the pres
ent religious and educational condi-
ton of the Indians, but on account of
the fact that it contains a good deal of
information in connection with the
visit of the Dawes Commission to this
State last January for the purpose of
enrolling the Choctaws in Mississippi
who might be entitled to property
rights in the Indian nation. The re
port deals with the Indians in Newton,
Leake, Neshoba, Kemper and Jasper
No Information is afforded as to the
race in Scott and Greene counties.
Seven schools. public and private, were
taught in the first ) named counties
the public schools being taught by
white men and the private by Indian
teachers. One public school was as
signed to Scott county. but no teacher
could be secured for it. The attend
ance was good and the progress of the
little Choctaws rapid.
The schools are as rule very poorly
fitted up, which may in great meas
ure be ascribed to the poverty of the
parents of the children. Some of them.
children are unable to bring any din
ner to school. The educational and
religious condition of the Indians is
gradually improving, but depends in a
large measure on the white communi-
ties that surround the settlements
whether the improvement is rapid or
not.
The Dawes Commission, continues
the report, enrolled during a short
stay in Mississippi, about 2,2i0 Chloe
taws. OF this number 1861 were full
bloOds aud 279 half bloods. The com
mission was surprised at the freedom
from amalgamation with other races.
At least 800 Indians were not enrolled,
because of the cold weather and few
places of appointment reached by the
Commission. In addition, many of the
Indians were opposed to the Commits
sion, on account of tribal traditions as
to the way in which their ancestors
had been treated by government land
agents. Fully 200 Neshoba Choctaws
refused, for this treason, to go and be
enrolled. Mr.. Halbert states that
there is no possibility of any number
of the Mississippi Choctrws ever emf
grating, even in case they should ac
quire property rights in the Indian
nation.

Greenville is great in several direc-

she most delights in. Sixteen years
ago Professor E. E. Bass, with two as
sistants, took charge of the Greenville
school. He is still the faithful and eff
ficient principal of that school, but now
has sixteen assistants and about 800
pupils. In addition to the regular
common school studies, the following
branches are taught: Rhetoric, algebra,
geometry, Latin, Greek, chemistry, BIZ
ology, physical culture, physical geog-
raphy, drawing, singing. The colored
school has an enrolment of about 700.
The salary of Professor Bass is only

emit of the Jackson schools is 81, 800.
Vicksburg and Meridian pay still more.

NEW USE FOR COTTON SEED OH

NEW USE FOR COTTON-. SEED OIL.
! The Times Democrat of Monday
states that steps are now being taken
to organize a stock company in New
Orleans for the purpose of establish
! ing a mandatory based on a recent
and remarkable discovery by a New
Orleans chemist. Briefly told, it is a
process for "degumming' ordinary cot
ton seed oil. and thus making it avail
able for all the purposes to which the
| linseed oil is now applied. The new
process referred to entirely removes
the troublesome gums. and leaves the
oil about the color of red wine. 1t is
then clarified by a simple chemical
treatment, and comes out beautiful
! light amber, containing all the valuable
qualities of the best Calcutta article
In actual use it is really superior to
! linseed oil, giving paint gloss equal
to the finest enamel and withstanding
heat of lS5 degrees without peeling
or blistering. Samples have been sub
merged in water for two days without
! showing any deterioration.
The Times Democrat further says
the process is not in any experimental
stage, but has been thoroughly tested
and its practicability is beyond ques
ton. Some idea of its financial pos
siblities may be obtained from the
| fact that cotton seed oil sells at only
eighteen cents agallon, and theeXpenses
of degumming is under seven cents
of which two cents may be saved by
utilizing by product. The degum-
med oil becomes thoroughly incorpor-
ated with leads and paints, and does
not float on top, as the case with lin,
ed-sOmething that has caused a
great deal of trouble because of tend
ency to discolorations. Paint mixed
with the new product does not require
dryers" or turpentine, although they
may be used if desired without bad eff
fects. 1t dries on outdoor work in
twelve hours, and eight hours on in
door
When the vast amount of linseed oil
that is used for mixing paints is con
si1ered, and this at a cost of from &C
to 50 cents per gallon, it will be seen
what great and important new field
will soon be opened up for the cotton
seed product

The number of railroad employees
killed and wounded in 1898 was 80, 7l9
of whom $500 lost their lives coupling
cars. Life seems cheaper than auto
matte couplers; and the railroad com

for an extension of time, although
Congress passed the law in '93 that
railroads equip their cars with devices
likely to prevent the heavy slaughter

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The English have made poor head
way in their war on the Transvaal Re
public in South Africa. The Beers are
proving themselves more than a match
for the invaders, both in generalship
and fighting qualities. The British
arms suffered three serious reverses
last week. The last was the repulse of
Gen. Redvers Butler at Tugela river.
Gen. Butler attempted to cross the
Tugela river, but was driven back, hav-
ing to abandon eleven guns. Over 1000
men we're lost in killed, wounded and
captured. The British then fell back
to Chievely.
Great things were confidently ex-
pected of Gen. Butler and his defeat,
with such loss by the despised Beers,
has been heavy blow to English pride
and arrogance. So keenly has this
been felt at the War Office that Lord
Roberts has been appointed to super
sede Butler as the commander in chief
of the South African forces. Lieuten-
ant +. II. S. Roberts, son of Lord
Roberts, the new commander, who was
wounded in the the Tugela river en-
gagement, has since died
The British garrisons at Mafeking
Ladysmith and Kimberley are still
holding out, but are being hard press
ed, with no immediate prospect of re
lief in sight.
Meanwhile the English government
is calling out its reserves and hurrying
more troops to Africa, realizing that it
woefully miscalculated at the outset
of this unjust war on brave and hardy
people, what it would cost in blood and
treasure to crush them.
Our sympathies, from the first, have
been with the struggling Beers, and we
hope they may yet bring their arrogant
foes to terms, and if this cannot be
done, make English conquest the most
dearly bought of modern times.
The Spanish effort to crush the Gu
bans, the British attempt to subdue
the Beers, and this governments wal
on the Filippinos are all of piece and
deserve the severest condemnation.
