Was the Place for Them.


Was the Place for Them.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Grenada, Aug 4.-The fact that the
north is no place for the southern
negro, and that he is always better
off at home, was strikingly demon
strated last week when a party of
about fifteen negroes in charge of a
labor contractor left Grenada for
Illinois to engage in railroad con-
struction work. They were all fair
types of the race and behaved with
ordinary decorum during the jour
ney. At Anna, Illinois, where the
first stop was to be made, they be-
held a big sign stretched across one
of the streets representing a negro
being run out of town by a party of
,nfuriated whites, and this was
pointed out to them as a sample OF
what would be received If they re-
manned.
The negroes went to several other
towns and. while not shown any
violence. it was made plainly apar-
ont to them that their presencs was
not desired and would not be toiera-
red. They then decided to return
Homo and in the future will take no
stock in the talk about the good
treatment accorded the negro IN the
north.

was fined seven dollars and few more
dollars for stealing some finger rings,

have discovered that the officers have

1t does not make any difference
whether it is Monday morning, Sunday
morning or ans other morning of the
week, the postoffice is crowded with
negroes looking for mail, at least that is
the excuse for crowding up to the win
dow. There is about one out every
twenty five who gets any mail, but the
other twenty four are there just the
same and there many of them remain
during the day. If they cannot ride in
the same cars with the white people OF
attend the same church or school they

window of the postoffce and whether
they ever get any mail or not, and they

HIS LIFE AND CHARACTER.

His life and character is an open
book known TO all men, and he
stands without reproach. He has an
honorable record as a Confederate
soldier: entering the army at the be-
ginning of the war, be followed the
flag of the Confederacy till it went
down in defeat at Appomattox.
After the war, he gave his services
TO the State In the dark days of
reconstruction freely and unremit-
tingly until victory crowned our
efforts IN the great struggle of 1875.
He was for three years president
of the Confederate Orphan Asylum at
Lauderdale, accepting the position
when failure seemed inevitable. But
he Infused new life into it. paid off
the debts, raised and educated all the
Confederate orphans in the institu-
ton, and found homes and employ
ment for them.
He served one term as Grand Mas
ter of the Grand Lodge OF Masons, six
years as president of the Baptist
State Convention, twelve years as
| trustee of Mississippi College, one
year as vice-president OF the Southern
| Baptist Convention, served one term
| in the State Senate, was the author
of the million dollar capitol bill, To-
eating the new capitol on the peni-
tertiary site, was the author of the
/ bill for the textile school established
at Starkville, passed through the
Senate a bill for geological, agrIcH-
tural and timber survey of the State
and introduced bill to restore the
| old deposit insurance law. If this
bill had passed the $500, 900 of bonds
| issued by the State in 1896 would
have been avoided.
He it is who projected and pro
noted the New Orleans and North,
eastern Railroad and gave life ant
vigor to the Gulf and Ship Island
In short the whole country, anC
especially South Mississippi, is reg
nant with evidences of his wisdom
energy, and unselfish devotion t.
the State.
AS a result of his unseifish labor
look at the fiourishing towns, Villages
and cities, the churches and schools
newspapers and journals, factories
and mills, all along the two railroad
that traverse this Congressional Dis
trict.
Through his labors and sacrifice
in promoting these institution
nearly a

HARDY COUNTY.

There were only two dissenting
votes in the House and none In the
Senate. This bill was vetoed on con-
stitutional grounds, but the honor
conferred upon him showed that the
State recognized his eminent SER
vices.
Capt. Hardy has given over twenty
years to the study of the

SCHOLAR, ORATOR AND STATESMAN.

Capt. Hardy is a ripe scholar. He
has the largest private library per-
haps in South Mississippi, and is a
student. Few men in the Congress
of the United States are better in
formed upon the science of civil gov
eminent and political economy. He
is a ready debater, and an orator of
wide reputation.
The true sphere of the statesman is
to study the industrial and CONNER
cial, as we'll as the political, problems
that effect the interests of the people.
If this be true then Capt. Hardy
stands out prominently among the
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-08-04
SOME REASONS WHY
Capt. w. H. Hardy Should be Nomi-
mated for Congress.

To the Voters of the Sixth Congress
sfonal District:
The Central Democratic Club OF
Hattiesburg, composed of the leading
men of the city and county in every
calling and vocation In life, offer
some reasons why the people should
vote for Capt. w. H. Hardy for
Congress. In going this, we do not
mean In any way to disparage the
other gentlemen who are candidates
for the nomination.

The building of the six or seven bricl
structures in this city is the creates
boom the city has had for long time
1t is conclusive in the minds of other
that local capitalists have confidence il
the future of the city and this section O
the state. When the men who have tn
money begin to put it ont in building
the sign is very good that they have faitl
in the town. Besides this it furnishe
more houses in which to do business
One great drawback to the city has beer
the scarcity of both business and dwell
ing houses. A man with only few
thousand dollars could not afford t
come here and build before setting NJ
in business, He could not take the
money out of bis business to put it in
buildings which he would have to do i
he did business here at all. Hence The
erection Of these business houses vii

for he has done more to develop the
resources of our State than any other
one man in the State. In recogni-
ton of this fact the Legislature in

and made HattIesburg the county
site, and named it

should her sons Of today turn down
men like Col. Hardy who have de-
Tended her honor In war, and her
interests in peace.
We believe Capt. Hardy would
soon take high rank in the House of
Representatives. and would reflect
great honor and credit upon the dis
trict, the State and the South, and we
commend him to every voter in the
district.
