ing. This is a grave mistake. 1t is
wrong, besides it is false. Our farm
ers constitute the wealth Of the coun-
try, and we need more intelligence on
the farm.
Rural graded schools are demanded
by the times. 1t is & safe standard of
citizenship. Ninety per cent. Of our
children have no other training except
through our country schools, and the
constitution of our State forbids man
to be qualified elector unless he is
able to read and write any part of the
constitution. Our country boys and
girls are not always to be hewers of
stone and drawers of water. So
would advise the people of Jolly Street
and St. Pauls to consolidate their
schools and establish one graded school.
That will be a Gods blessing to your
community.
Build good school here. And then
are you going to put a $50 teacher in
it? Not word of it, When you build
better houses you are going to have
better teachers. Why can't you have
just as good school house here as you
have at Prosperity? You can't have
Ernest Counts as teacher, for there are
very few like him. But you can get
just as good. To have better schools
and better houses is to have more mo-
ney. | think every school district
ought to vote special tax. You cant
go beyond t"o mills. You can't make
a better investment than to vote a
special school tax. This means good
teacher, and the teacher at the school
room is the formation Of a character,
and the only way to get good teachers
is 20 give them better salaries. Put up
a school building here that will reflect
honor upon your community. ] am
alive on this subject. hope YOU peo-
pie will centralize on a location and eS-
tabish a graded school here. Why
cant you have a school down here
equal to Clemson? You have got the
material and YOU can have it,

Qts Aera(d auA Weus
THE DISPENSARY IN CHARLESTON.
l.. ii. AUI.L, EDITOR.

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, writing to his paper
under recent date, says: "Chlef Con-
stable Hammctt has returned from
Charleston, where he went to look over
the situation and report upon the way
in which the law is carried out. He is
well pleased with the result of his in
vestigations and expects soon to receive
report from Sub Chief Holmes, con-
tirmng his opinion. In speaking of the
way the dispensary law was enforced
in Charleston. Mr.. Hammett
said that the law was being better OBJ
served than ever before"
That came from the Columbia end of
the line.
In the same issue Of the News and
Courier in which the above special from
Columbia was printed appeared an ac-
count Of the raid of an humble negro S
home in Charleston by the liquor con-
stables. The raid occurred on Monday
while the occupant, II. II. Owens, the
colored ianitor at the United States
Custom House. was away from home at
his work. When he rcturncd home that
night ''an investigation showed that
dispcnsary constablcs had entered the
place through Il door in the rear. had
broken open several doors. had gone
through the house from top to bottom
searching for lquor, and had then It
it and its contents at the mercy of any
vagrant negro who might have taken a
notion to enter" Not a drop of liquor
was found. Ovens is a type Of the old
Southern negro, who was faithful to
the great trust rcposcd in him during
the darkest period of the SouthS his
tory. In reporting the affair to the
News and Courier, he said: II have
served you white people for siXty-thrce
years served you as Il slave and as a
freedman, and have right not only
to ask but to demand protection at Your
hands.
When Chief llammctt and Governor
Hayward express themselves 'wcll
pleased with the enforcement OF the
dispens;ly law in Charleston. Of course
they do not mean tha, they are "wcll
pleascd' when the Charleston con-
stables commi; such brutal acts As the
searching of this old nrgro'S house In
fact. this outrage occurred after their
expressions were made public. But there
have been other acts Of the constablcs
in Charleston just as had. The search
OF a lady's house in Charleston through
"mistakc in OILERS" is still fresh in
the public mind. And there have been
other and similar occn ranrcs recently,
We know. or at least we trust, that
Governor Hayward and Chief Uammctt
are not well pleased with the cnforc.-
mcnt of the dispensav law in Cbarlos-
ton in this manner. But it is hiph time
that affairs OF this Kind should s,or,
Such acts are brutal and Iawloss and
can not but make the law more difficult
of enforcement.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURES.


There never was time in the his
tory of Mississippi when wise counsel
and just and honest laws should not be
enacted. Since the tidal waveo
swept the Goths and vandals from con-
troll of the state it seems that little
regard has been paid actual needs Of
the people. In point Of wealth and
intelligence Mississippi is rapidly
gaining a prominence of which her
citizens are proud and to keep pace
with he rapid development we shonld
have our purest and ablest men to
guide the ship of the state. For many
years there has been conglomerated
mass of ignorance, and venality as
sembled in the capacity of law
makers that has been the subject both
of contemplate jeer and caustic criti-
cism. We must get our best men to
repeal or revise the many odius stat
utes passed, wholly in ignorance of
their meaning and appreciation. 1t
is with the people to say who are the
masters, to say who they will send
from Perry county to represent them
in the next legislature. True, we
have quite number of men in our
midst that would not only be an honor
and an ornament but would work
faithfully and zealously for the good
of the county but know of no one
SO we'll suited for this high and
responsible position than Mr.. George
fairfield of Hattiesburg. He is
native and to the manner born" and
has both practical and intuitive
knowledge of the wants of the people,.
He is young man. just in the prime
of life, his opportunities have been all
that he could desire, and how we'll he
has improved them is attested by the
success he has achieved. Besides be-
ing heightened Christian gentleman
he has all the elements of fine coun-
sellor and skillful legislator. He
would be genial, affable companion
q sound democrat and would be a
safe and true custodian of any trust
that the people might place in his
hands. What say the people? /
think can safely make forecast of
their decision, and it will be-that
fairfield is the man. VOTER.

CONSERVATIVE CHOICE OF OF
FICERS.
E. S. Wilson in Picayune.

E. s. Wilson in Picayune.
Gentlemen who visit the state
capital from all parts of Mississippi
state that the people are demanding
that none but the best men be elected
to public Office. 1t is learned that
the best and highest sentiments of
the different counties seem to be crys-
talizing into a purpose to support the
broadcast and most patriotic gentlemen
for the state senate and house of
repres entatives.
The rapid industrial and material
strides which the state has made
within the last few years is pointed
to with pride and satisfaction. The
people realize that state may be
helped or hurt by legislation, and to
this end they seem to be unwilling
to take any chances in the matter of
selecting Legislators. The same
spirit, it is said, which animates the
people touching election of members
of the legislature also applies to gov
ernor and other state officials as we'll
as county officers, and especially MEM
bers of boards of supervisors, who
compose the county legislature, with
more power in the county, in fact
than the legislature has in the state,
for the reason that there is no vote
power to hold the boards of supervis-
| ors in check as there is in the legis-
lature to veto unwise or extravagant
legislation.
From what can be leanred, the best
concensus of the opinion as gathered
from citizens from all parts Of the
state that come and go, is that there
is no situation yet touching guber-
Material matters which is also true it
| is understood as to other state officials.
1t is pointed out that there has been no
capitalization of sentiment as yet in
any man for office; that the political
horizon is yet nebulous, and that the
people are waiting; that they are in
receptive mood, anxious to hear al
honest, manly, sensible discussion Of
state affairs, after which. they will
make up their minds and register
their choice at the next primary IL
August. There is plenty Of time fol
discussion of interests vital to state
and peolpe. In fact, it is some sever
months before the primary will b
held.

CIRCUIT COURT DOCKETS
Being Burdened With Petty Civil
4 CaSeS-Lower Courts Should
81 Settle Matter.
Special to the Daily Progress.

jackson, March lit has been
suggested that the next legislature
shout pass law limiting appeals in
petty civil cases from the lower
courts, and the matter will probably
bs preached at the next session of that
body.
Circuit court dockets throughout
the state are greatly burdened by this
class of litigation, and controversy
in the Justices court over razor back
sow generally means an appeal to the
circuit court and the wasting of a
half day Of the valuable time of the
body. 1t is proposed that when the
amount in contest does not exceed $50
it should be compulsory for the liti-
giants to abide by the decision, each
having the rigth to demand jury
prior to the trial if they care to do so.
BY this means the expense Of circuit
coart sessions would doubtless be
greatly reduced and much important
time saved for the higher tribunals.

Fox's Candidacy Will Add Much
to the Spirit of the Cam
paign.
Special to the Daily Progress.

special 10 the Dally sfrogress.
Jackson, March 1.-THE opening
speech of Hon. A. F. Fox, candi-
date for governor, gives indication
thata the former congressman from
the fourth district will add very
greatly to the zest and spirit Of the
campaign. He denounces the race
problem issue that has been injected
into the campaign as fictitious, and
not worthy of the attention that is be-
ing given to it; that the PROPOSE
tion to divide the school fund between
the races is unwise, impracticable and
Unconstitutional that it is better for
us to give the negroes public schools
under our own control than to have
them educated by northern mission
aries who will make every school
house a hotbed of political distur-
bhnce that the question of white supre-
macy is in no way involved in the
campaign, for white supremacy is now
an established fact, and always will be.
Mr.. Fox declares that he wears no
mans collar; that if elected the gov,
ernor's Office shall not be clearing
house for the settlement of political
debts, and that appointments shall
not be political commodities ex-
changed in return for political SER
vices. Referring to the charge that
he was brought out by clique or
fsction headed by Mississippi's poll
teal hybrid, E. S. Wilson, he says:
Any statement that Edgar Wilson
has ever said or done anything which
Induced my candidacy is lie as black
