NEGRO Education.

The precipitation of the question of
nrgro education into the guberna-
torial campaign by Major Jas. K. Yard
aman has caused discussion of the
truly vexatious problem to break out
afresh. Major Vrrdamans idea is
nothing more nor less than clear cut
division of the school fund between
the two races in proportion to the
taxes paid by each of them. His ar
gument in favor of this proposition is
simply that it is unjust that the white
people, who bear by far the heaviest
share of the burden of taxation, should
be called upon to support schools for
the negroes who pay but small pro-
portion of the taxes. The argument is
more specious than wise, and the
scheme contains many Objectionable
features. Chief of these is the mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration of State Super
intendent Whitfield which goes TO
show that we're the school fund equal
~ divided and the taxes paid by cor
porations also equally divided between
the two races, the negro schools would
receive far more from the public funds
than they do now, aud the white
schools correspondingiy less. Aside
from the rank injustice Of the propo-
sition, apd grave doubts as to its CON
stitutionality as whole, this objection
appears to us 70 be unanswerable, for
the advocates of the schemes all admit
that its sole purpose is to provide
greater funds for the white school
children and less for the negroes

In endorsing a tribute to Judge J. h.
Neville by the Lumberton Head
Block, proposing him for Governor,
the old reliable Pascagoula Democrat
Star says: "All that the Head Block
says about Judge Neville is true, and
and we heartily endorse it, but the best
people, the law abiding people of this
judicial district are opposed to giving
the Judge up, at least, until his term
of Office expires. And then they will
be 10th to part with him. He is max
ing the BEST judge the district has had
for more than a decade. We are de-
cidedly in favor ofkeeping him in his
present position, believing that we
voice the sentiments of the people and
bar, except the law breakers and hood
lums. We cannot afford to make a
change of judges in this district, and
we sincerely trust that Judge Neville
will not yield to the earnest solicita-
ton of his friends until the present
term, and another and another has
been filled out"

CIRCUS BAREBACK RIDERS.

A large number of the difficult acts
seen with the Great Wallace Show are
in danger of not being appreciated
because of the ease with which they
are performed. One of the chief diff
culties that confront manager of a
big circus like the Wallace Shows, is
the scarcity of acrobatic equestriennes.
The way to the pinnacle of fame in a
circus ring is difficult and discourag
ing. Of the girls who essay the
feats of a clever rider not one in
hundred succeed, and only one in a
hundred of those who succeed ever at
tanned prominence. Prominent in the
coterie of equestrienne celebrities with
the Great Wallace Shows is Miss Min
ME Sweeney. In point of poise, grace,
dash and daring agility her riding
simply defies all description. Nothing
she does looks difficult nor appears,
indeed, to require effort. She is Sc
cure and as much at home in her I'M
stable position on the heaving, bound
ing back of a galloping horse, as is
society belle on a ballroom floor. The
cleverness of Miss Sweeney deceives
the public and makes it look easy.
Any spectator who attempts to initiate
the work of this celebrity will soon
have such delusion dispelled from
their mind. The same thing may be
said of the hundreds of performers
with the Great Wallace Show. Every
act is so cleverly, carefully and quick
ly executed that the danger of the act
is not apparent, and this fact over
comes the sensational tendency which
is distasteful to many.
The only fault with the Great Wal
lace Shows is that it has too much 60
ing on at the same time, but the ar
rangement of the apparatus, para
phernalia and seats is such that every
one can see great deal more and get
more satisfaction out of its perform
ance than out of the ordinary show.
The Great Wallace Show will ex-
hibit for one day only in Brookhaven
on Friday, Oct. II.

How Mayor Tom L. johnson
Runs His Novel Campaign.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson's campaign
for control of Ohio, which began a few
days ago, is without doubt one of the
most peculiar ever attempted in this or
any other State.
It partakes of all the features Of a
circus-the tent, seats, wagons, band of
music and horses. The scheme is orig
inal with Mayor Johnson. First he or
dered a tent with a seating capacity
for 5000 persons; then he ordered an
other of the same size to be prepared in
case something should happen to the
first. The second tent is held in Cleve-
land ready for shipment on an hours
notice. Next Mr.. johnson visited a
factory where circus seats are made.
There he ordered platform, boards for
seats and 500 settees for women. He
invites the fair sex especially to at
tend his meetings.
A wagonmaker was next seen and in
few weeks the shop turned out 10
huge circus wagons, 20 feet high.
This is to be my circus" said Mayor
johnson, when all these things we're
ready, "and it shall be run just like a
circus"
He selected for his manager G. j
Wagner, of New York, who once man
aged big show. Wagner hired can.
vas man, boss animal man and boss
seat man, all of these experienced
workers, and they in turn hired men fol
their different departments. Next a
tailor was consulted, and in few days
neat khaki suits were delivered, also
blue shirts and campaign hats. Every
body in the show was thus uniformed
Meanwhile so horses had been bought
Then Mayor johnson sent for Mr.. Wag-
ner.

"What! Going to run circus with,

town-a union band of course"
Mr.. Wagner hired band of 40 pieces
and then announced that the show was
ready to take to the road. Great ban

the sides of the horses bore the legend

TOM. L. JOHNSON
viii Speak In
The Big Tent
Tonight.

The caravan set out from Cleveland.
At it's head in his big red automobile,
"The People" rode Mr.. johnson. With
him were his son, Loftin, who acted as
chauffeur, and his valet. Next in line
was a small runabout, in which sat
Manager Wagner. Then followed the
10 huge wagons and in the rear was
tallyho carrying the band men. Mr..
johnson tried to get automobiles for
the entire circus, but no factory would
agree to build them within six months
AS soon as the caravan reaches the
town in which it is scheduled to appear
Mr.. johnson has conference with his
Democratic lieutenants. Meantime the
small tents in which the men live are
put up and Manager Wagner inspects
the food he has ordered by telegraph.
couraged by the savory odor, the men
rush work on putting up the big tent.
1t is done as Systematically, deftly and
quickly as in any big circus in the
country. All the latest machinery is
used, even to the electric wiring, al
though the power is secured from the
local electric light company In each
town. The men are experienced and
know their business.
After dinner the band parades the
town, not to gather the crowd-for that
gathers itself-but to make some
noise" as Mr.. johnson puts it. When
the concert is over the "big show" be-
gins. With Mr.. johnson are the State
candidates, who travel by train. Local
candidates are also invited to speak.
After the show Mr.. johnson seeks a
hotel, the cir Gus men go to sleep and
the caravan takes the road again at
daybreak. 1t is scheduled to keep on
until November 3.
Mr.. johnson is bearing every cent of
the expense. The outfit cost him 1925.
900 and the cost each day is estimated
at about $500, but Mr., johnson is
worth 100000 and can afford to turn
politics into ycircus.-Specidl Dis

PROGRESS IN THE PINEY
WOODS.
Representative Carraway, in discuss
the remarkable showing that Perry
county had made, reporting an increase
of million and a half dollars in taxa
BILE property, said that the piney
woods section of the state had just
entered upon its era of prosperity.
He said that the cattle and sheep in
dustry in Perry and adjoining coun-
ties was assuming great proportions.
There are some men who have as many
as forty-five hundred sheep in one
bunch. Mr.. Carraway said the next
ten years would see more rapid ad-
vancement in this section. New peo-
pie with money and energy are NOV
ing in and helping those already
there. AS fast as the lands are cleared
of timber they are being put in cult
walton or used for pasture lands.
New industries other than lumber
mills are being established.

I'M GOING TO ANYWAY.

When you've set your head to do 1t,
When your judgment says you're right,
When your conscience gives it's sanction,
Then pitch in with all your might.
Don't let anything prevent you,
Though the odds seem big and strong;
Every obstacle must vanish
AS the swift days roll along
If you set your jaw and say:
well, I'm goingto, anyway"
What's this life that we are living
But mighty hurdle race?
Every obstacle encountered
Makes you quicken up your pace
Till, with mighty bound triumphant,
You come safely to the goal
You had toiied for, you had longed for,
In the center Of your soul,
When you set your jaw to say:
well, I'm going to, anyway.
While the whole world loves lover,
Yet 1t loves winner best;
Loves the man who, till he conquer,
Stops not cen for sleep or rest.
Oft he may be worn and haggard,
Often he may weary be;
Yet the lion heart within him
Has been firm as rock since he
Set his quiet jaw to say:
"Well, I'm going to, anyway.
Oh, the looSe-hung jaws encountered
In the course Of but day!
Oh, the lives devoid of purpose,
That we ind along the way!
They the weaklngs are, who known not
What strong faith and will may do;
Know not that the worlds servant
To the man who's game and true
And who sets his jaw to say:
"Well, I'm going to- anyway"
