Ne have said SO before-we are
going to repeat 1t sgain and again
antil the evil is reniedied or some
thing happens to render the repeti-
tion unnecss airy, and it Is this !:
There are number of small boys
running st large in this town, day
and night, who Will, unless taken in
hand by their parents. bring trouble
and probably disgrace. These boys,
too young, some of them, to know
what they are doing. are a constant
annoyance to the people IN certain
parts of the town. There are always
larger boys to lesd. In crowds, of
from two to half a dozen, they infest
vacant houses and play in barns,
particularly barns if hens happen TO
make their nests nearby. On a
certain Sunday several of these boys
crept into barn where hay was
stored, during the absence of the
proprietor. and were found there
smoking cigarettes, and teaching
little boys not FIVE years old to
smoke. Money, eggs, chickens, etc,
aud sus piciously endorsed due bills
have found their way to stores and
spent for candy and cigarettes.
Money sent by parents TO stores fol
needed articles has been kept back
and spent otherwise than ordered.
But it is needless to enumerare fur
ther. This is enough to cause every
parent who has boy to do their
best to keep track of him. The News
has spoken OF these thir gs before,
not from any desire to 10 any boy
harm, but good. instead. and to save
parents trouble and modification
and the public annoyance. We may
get no thanks for it-uo difference,
we say it all The same. II we save
one boy from life of shame, police
court or jail we will have the thanks
of that one. We say to every reader
of these lines, Keep a close watch on
your boy. II you don't the police
sergeant may have to do it for you.

an intelligent, business like, honest

the town they live, if they are honest
business men who know how TO man

The Co unty Far.

1t is rumored that We are to
have q county fair this Fall. We
hope there is some foundation for
the rHmor. The NEWS has been
urging this matter for years. There
is to be held somewhere In South
west Virginia a District Fair. we
believe, embracing all the counties
west of New River. This will not,
in any way, interfere with, or take
the place of, a county fair here.
Every county in the progressive
and wtde-a-wake State of Ohio, has
it's fair. Many of our people would
rejoice to see the old fashioned
county fair revived.

They Are An Lawyers.

One of our best citizens SAID TO
rs recently that he feared all, or
nearly all, the delegates to the con-
stitutional convention, would be
lawyers, judging from the names
already mentioned, in the papers,
OF probable candidates. 1t is true,
that with few exceptions, the can
dida ties so far proposed, are taken
from the legal profession. Why is
thisf Our friend suggested that
the main reason may be THAI the
farmers and others have neglected
to keep up with the ii mes, and to
so inform themselves as to be fitted
for these responsible poslti Ons.
The lawyers are students, he said,
the farmers are not. The old notion
that anybody can farm, whether
educated or not is still prevelant,
and hence the farmers and other
business men take little or no in>
tercst in great public questions.
They are content to make living
aud vote when the time comes
farther than this they do not go.
just how much truth there is In
this view is question. 1t will be
q great mistake to send none but
lawyers to make our new constitU>
ton. There are men among the
farmers, We believe, who are capa-
BILE of taking prominent and i'm
portant parts in framing the new
instrument. 1t might have been
better to have excluded all lawyers,
except half dozen or so, who
should be employed by the con-
vention on salaries, to decide
questions Of law &c. However, it
makes all the difference in the
world IS to the kind Of men select
ed for the convention. If the right
kind of men are selected it matters
not where yon get them from.

The papers are nrging that only
men who are in sympathy with the
the new constitution movement
should be sent IS delegates to the
convention. This ought to be an
unnecessary suggestion. Why
should any man desire to 60 to

not believe one is neededs What
will such a delegate in such meet
ing be worth7 Taking this view
of the matter the Republican party
should not want to send delegates,
as they along with few democrats

LOUISIANA PLAN.

The Louisiana Constitution goes q
step further than MissIssippi's. II
denies the right to vote to ali citizens
OF the State unable 10 read and write
except first, the owners of $500 tax
able property upon which the taxes
have been paid, and, second, men en-.
titled to vote on the first day of JAM

statutes of any State of the United
States and any son or grandson of
any such person Fl years of age at
the adoption of the constitution.
The object of the provision in the
Mississippi Constitution was clearly
to eliminate from the electorate a
large class of illiterate negros. But
the term Of the provision also operat
ed to disfranchise great many
whites. This was perhaps the saving
feature. The United States Supreme
Court held that the expedients adopt.

negroes were permissible

What HGs Seen Done TO Restrict
the Rights of Suffrage.

The white man OF the south has
had to battle with the negro rsstrA. n.
ed by law that made them absolute.
ly equal. BY constitutional amend
ment color. education. character were
made 10 count for naught, BY a
stroke OF the Zen the illiterate slave
was put on an exact level with his
proud master. Every right once held
oy the whitd man, and regarded as q
peculiar mark at his supe: lofty. was
accorded the black man.
II cannot be said that the s.rngp, e
with the black man has always been
carried on with due regard for the
law on the part of the whites. Goad-
ed on by the fear that their former
slaves would become their political
masters, the Southern whites have
resorted to bloodshed to maintain
their ascendency. And always with
the result desired. Bribery has
been used by those who preferred
Establishments To force. and false
counting has also been thought pre-
ferable to applying violence as a
preventative of negro supremacy.
But these methods were never sat
isfactory to the white men of the
South And so it was that when
Mississippi adopted a constitution
containing a daring clause prcscrib-
ing qualifications for suffrage, the
people of the Southern States were
deeply interested. Misrissi pn's lead
was quickly followed.
THE LEAD OF MISSISSIPPI.
In November, 1890, Mississippi
adopted her present constitution. II
confers the right of suffrage upon all
sane male inhabitants of the State, 81
years Of age, who have resided in the
State two years and one year in the
district, oity or town where he offers
to vote; who has never been convict.
ed of certain specific offences, and
who on or before the first day of
February in the year in which he
offers to vote has pid all taxes
legally required of him, and
which be had opportunity to pay FOR
the two preceding years, aud who
shall have duly registered. The con-
stitution imposes uniform poll tax
by the State of two dollars, and au
thorized the counties to impose an
additional capitation tax of not more
than one dollar. Then was added
this section:
"On or after the first day of Janua-
ry A. d. 1892, every .elector shall, In
to the qualifications, be able
to read any section OF the constitu-
Il on Of this State, or he shall be able
to understand the same when read to
him, or give q reasonable Interpreta-
ton thereof"
