President Roosevelt has stamp,

President Roosevelt has stamp
ed his disapproval upon the move
ment in the Southern States to
build up a white mans republican
party by removing ]. H. Bling.
ham, Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue. of the State Of Alabama. Mr..
Bingham was instrumental in ex-
Guiding the negro from the late
Republican State convention and
his opposition cost him his job
The movement to exclude the
negro from politics is specially
obnoxious to the president and he
will tolerate nothing to that end.
More than once be has rebuked
members of his party for such
steps and the recent action Of the
president should now convince all
Southern white republicans that
the negro is in the saddle with
this administration. Booker Wash

fees are at his disposal. Mr..
Bingham's successor was named
by him rs all other southern Of

negro is first, last and all the
time with the present administra-

Cocaine Among Negroes.

The alarming growth of the use
of cocaine among the negroes of
Mississippi has caused the sug-
gestion to be made that more radi-
cal laws should be enacted for the
suppression of the evil. The CO.
cane habit is demoralizing the
race in this state, and It's growth
in recent years has been phe-
nomenal. Thousands of victims
may be found among the negroes,
and in the delta section the habit
is almost general. The drug has
a quick and demoralizing effect,
and the negro snccumbs quicker
to its seductions than a white man,
and when the habit is once fasten-
ed upon him he rarely reforms.
Canton Picket.
The Journal called attention to
this habit among the negroes
several years ago and the position
we took in regard to the sale and
use of the deadly drug brought
good results IN a local way. Our
local druggists who were upright
saw the drift Of the darkey towards
the COCAINE habit and put Il stop to
the sale of it. 1t is one of the
most baneeul habits and every
good citizen should sac to it that
every precaution Is taken to pre-
vent its growth. The darkey
that uses the deadly drug Is unfit
ted for the duties of laborer or
servant and every protection pos
sible should be thrown around
him. Our druggists settle | the
question in a local way by STOP
ping its sale except a physicians
prescription, AMI druggists in
every town IN the South should
follow their example.

The experience OF the past two
years will make Jul people more
determined than ever before to
raise more hogs and poultry.
Previous to the two failures we
have had in the corn crop III this
section, there was an abundance
of hogs to make meat for the
country. 1t was a rare thing that
a car load of meat was bought by
our merchants and only then by
our wholesale grocers to supply
their t rade at a distance. The
poultry business had also reached
such proportions as to make of it
one OF our best paying industries.
Chickens and eggs were handled
in car load lots, and the revenue
derived from this source kept the
average home in the country sup
piled with sugar, coffee and most
of the dry goods. With no corn,
however, the hog AMI the hen had
to go, and as H result there is a
dearth of both at this time. But
the following year will bring a very
different state of things; our peo-
pie understand the profit in both
and will soon fill up the pig pen
and barn yard with these neces-
sary adjuncts to a farmers stock
in trade.

! Migrants.

It is gratifying to note that the
authorities of our cities and towns
are waking up to the Importance
of dealing with that numerous
class Of hoodlums, dead beats and
law breakers which lnfests almost
every community in the state.
This class is composed chiefly
Of negroes of the lowest type and
it is becoming so numerous and SO
offensive in It's ways as to be
worse than a nuisance. Every
where that one goes he is greeted
with their pestiferous presence.
They infect the thoronghfares,
clog the railroad stations, block the
side walks, congregate about the
public wells, shove their filthy per-
sons against decent people at incom-
ing and outgoing trains and in every
conceivable manner make them
selves obnoxious to the visual and
olafactory organs of g%enteel and
quiet ladies and gentlemen. Where
they all come from is a mystery,
but they seem, on occasions of
public interest, to flock together
like pariahs from dirty Sums and
obtude their filthy corpuse's into
public places. Big and little, old
and young, they are everywhere
except where they ought to be.
1t is the duty of the white PEG:
pie of the south to make of the
negro a self sustaining factor OF
our population. He has the Drawn
and sinew to perform a proper
amount of labor for a citizen and
can be made to support himself.
There should be no Migrants. white
or black and wherever one is
found he should be put to work at
once. The state laws define vag-
rancy pretty broadly. The mu
inequalities have power to enlarge
their ordinances to suit local con-
ditions and necessities. We are
| glad to see that ours cover the
case and that our Mayor is deter
mined to execute them. Go on
with the good works Mr.. Mayor.
The whole people will thank YOU.

The farmers of Noxubee county
have adopted strenuous measures
to hold the negro laboreres on
their farms. Labor agents are
dealt with in such a manner as to
convince them that their presence
is not desirable and will not be
tolerated. TO entice the average
darkey away means that the land
lord is left to settle the negroes
debts which are usually whatever
the liberaiity Of the man he lives
with Will let them amount to.
The negro is n liberal trader and
the owners Of large9farms have as
much as they can stand up tn to
carry these debts for them. While
all good citizens depreciate the
necessity of exareme measures it
sometimes becomes necessary to
report to them. In cases like the
above we feel that the farmer
is justifable in keeping labor
agents at a safe distance from
their farms.
