WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS.

One of the most sensible editorials
appearing recently in the Commercial
Appeal was on the subject OF Our
Own People, in which the fact was
brought out that the advantages Of
obtaining a higher education in the
South are as yet very deficient, espe-
cially for young ladies. The reason
assigned for this is the lack of large
endowments for the colleges and uni
verSities, and not from any defect of
intellect. While the opportunities
for the young men are limited to a
few institutions, the young women
who choose to attend a university in
which they will not be compelled to
be associated constantly with men
must necessarily go North. There is
not even one distinct university for
women in the South. When they go
to any of the Northern institutions,
such as Vassar, Wellesley or Mt. Fol
yoke, they are brought to face the
question of associating with negro
students, as none of these place a bar
because of the color line. This is ex-
tremely distasteful and cauSes lots of
brilliant Southern girls from perfect
ing their education as they otherwise
would do. 1t is better to neglect this
higher education to some extent than
that encouragement be given to the
establishment of social equality.
What is really needed is a universe
ty for women in our Southland, where
our young women, the pureSt and best
types in the world, may receive the
most complete training of intellect
that their minds could desire, and
that free from the offensive mingling
of races as exists in the North. The
South is the garden spot of America
and her people should wake up to the
need of these things, if they would
reap the richest measure of reward in
store for them.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

There is apparently no better pros
pect of peace in the Philippines than
there was a year ago, and, while the
American people have been treated
by the administration periodically to
the assurance that the hostilities were
all but over and that the United
States fighting force in the archipela-
go would soon admit of being mate
rally reduced in point of numbers,
the announcement is now made that
at least 10, 900 more troops must be
sent as reinforcementS and that they
must be sent before the end Of the
year.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
The United States has a giant task
on her hands in the shape of this
Philippine question. We can only
hope, though with fear and trembling,
that the wisdom and sagacity of the
American people will finally solve the
matter in a satisfactory manner.

A japanese lady is said to have adj
vertised as follows in a Toxic paper
for a husband:

abundant undulating hair ~envelops me
as a cloud. Supple as a willow is my
waist. Soft and brilliant is my Wis
age as the satin of the flowers. | am
endowed with wealth sufficient to
saunter through life hand in hand
with my beloved. Were l to meet a
gracious lord, kindly, intelligent, well
educated and of good taste, / would
unite myself with him for life and
later share with him the pleasure OF
being laid to rest eternal in a tomb OF
pink marble"
What more could a man wish:
This japanese lady offered beauty,
wealth and other attractive virtues.
No doubt those Japanese SWANS tum.
bled over each other in answering
that advertisement.

TO BRING SETTLERS SOUTH.

A Chicago special says: "Oficials
of the Illinois Central have decided to
make special effort this year to settle
homeseekerS in the states of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. On November 10, the
company will start an excursion fol
all points of interest in the states
named, and the guests of the road will
be land agents and immigrant agents
from all over the west and northwest.
The excursion will be conducted by
Captain j. F. Merry, assistant general
passenger agent for the company,
The party will visit many cities anG
towns in those states and will be
away ten days"
This party will doubtless pass
through Grenada if it does not stop,
Our people must be awake to theil
opportunities, as this trip will ne
doubt result in a large influx of a de.
sirable class of immigrants to the
South.
