Away up in Wisconsin a propo-
sition has been sprung, the object of
which is for the governor Of that
state to invite a conference with all
the southern and northern governors
at Atlanta for the purpose of solving
the negro nrnhlam Tho host WOW +n
solve that question is to let the merge
alone and let him work out his own
salvation. If he is treated as a negro,
as human being, without the least
sign of social or political equality,
but as the inferior of the two races,
he will never give any trouble. AS
soon as negro knows that he is looked
upon as a negro, inferior to the white
race, and that he must take back
seat in the social and political world,
just so soon will he divorce his mind
of all such ideas and make a good
negro citizen. He is expected to be
treated as negro and when he is
treated otherwise he loses a part of
his mind and the respect he has for
those who are trying to be on a social
or political equality with him.

FOX AND LONGING.

If it is fact that the McLaurins
are supporting the candidacy of Mr..
Fox-and there seems to be no doubt
about tit may be presumed that
they will support Governor Longino
for United States senator. If this is
true it will make the campaign quite
interesting, for as it means the cleo
ton or defeat of both men it means
much to others who are running for

1t is stated that the Choctaws who
were recently carried to the Indian
Territory by lot of agents, who
doubtless fleeced them, are returning
as fast as they can get the means to
bring them back These Indians were
about as we'll civilized as an Indian
could become and they naturally pre-
fer to live in a civilized country and
neighbors to white people who have
always proved to be their best
friends. These Indians with but few
exceptinos were doing well in New
ton and Neshoba counties where they
were tilling the soil and making a
good living and it was really pity
to break them up and take them to the
far west ON the promise of lettering
their conditions. They are not fit for
the far west. Their dispositions are
unlike the Indians of the far west and
their nature cannot endure the hard
ships of the country like the other In
dians. They are of more civilized
nature, accustomed to living in good
houses and sitting by good fires and
going to bed and sleeping like white
people in Newton and Neshoba coun-
ties, and hence they cannot stand the
climate of the far west and the GUS
toms of the Indians of that country,
and the act of the government in CIV
ing them the lands will prove no bene-
fit to them at all, but an injury.

played with cards fell dead while

Furthermore, report comes from that

AND NOW he ADvRRTIsES.

A certain business man, who ID
withal something of a bible stu
dent, had never advertised, and al
consequence his profits were moi
such as he desired. Being much
worn in body and depressed in
mind one evening over the way his
affairs were going, he sought con
ISOLATION in the pages of his bible
He turned the pages at random and
was somewhat startled to read az
follows; "And 1 thought to adver
tise, saying, "buy it before the in
habitants and before the elders Of
my people," Ruth "A. Surely
thought he, "If those godly old pa
triarchs advertised thousands OF
years ago. and do not; I am in
deed behind the times. I will look
a little farther and see if the Gus.
tom is general" Accordingly he
searched and found, in very short
time, the following: "But he went
out and began to publish it much"
Mark las. "And he went his way
and published throughout the
whole city" St. Luke $3.50. "Come,
therefore. and i will advertise"
Numbers 24:14. "Great was the COM
pany of those that published"
Psalms 68:11.
Having proven to his own satis.
faction that the custom of advertis-
Using was generally followed, he
next turned his attention to deter
mining, if possible, what was the
method of advertising employed
by these old advertisers. In2 Sam:
Publish it not in the streets"
From this he concluded that these
old advertisers had found the Gus
tom of fence sign and roadside ad-
vertising Improbable. He turned
next to Esther lib. ut should be
published according to the Ian
guage of every people" And Es-
Their 3:14. The copy of the writing
was published unto all people"
And in 2 Cor. 3:2 he found this:
"Our epistle known and read of all
men," This convinced him that the
medium employed by the old time
advertisers was the newspaper. To
determine whether results had
been obtained by these original ad-
vertisers he turned to Acts 2:45 and
found "They sold their possessions
and goods" And in Job 36:1l he
found this: "They shall spend their
days in prosperity and their years
in pleasure" In Isaiah 5:27, this:

WHOSE WILLING WORKING WIFE.

Up with the birds In the early morning
The dewdrop glows like precious gemj
Beautiful tints in the sky are dawnihg
But she's never moment to look at them.
The wanting their breakfast early;
She not linger she must watt
For words that are sharp and looks that surly
Are what the men give when meals are late.
Oh, glorious eolors the clouds are turning.
IF she would but look hills and trees;
But here the dishes and there is the churning-
Those things must always yield to these
The world lie filled with the wind Of beauty,
If she would but pause and drink it I'M
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot and her hands grow weary;
Oh, for hour to cool her head
Out with the birds and the winds CHEEKY;
But she must get dinner and make her bread
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy and call her Sinking,
And she never could make them understand.
They do know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their dinner,
Plenty of it and just ION time"
And after the sweeping and churning and baking,
And dinner dishes all put by
She sits and sews though her head is aching
Till time for supper and "chores" draws nigh
Her boys at school look like others,
She says, che patches their frocks and hose.
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of their children's clothes.
Her husband comes from the field of labor;
He gives praise to his weary wife;
She's done than has her neighbor;
'Tis the lot of many in country life
But after the strife and weary tussle
When life is done and she lies rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her and daughters-shall call her blest
And think the sweetest joy of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the faires crown of all will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

If there has ever been anything IN

to rival the sensation created by the
recent rendition of HiaWatha, it is not
apparent to the irrepreSSible "OldeSt in

whether there has ever been anything
like it anywhere. Here was a master
piece the production of a Negro, inter
preted by an immense chorus of skilled
Negro talent with such superb eXecu-
ton as to call forth the widest ap-
plause from the most untutOred listen

cations of the city attended in a body.
TIiaWatha had never before been pro-
duced in America, and here was even
their first opportunity of hearing 1t.
1t was at least expected that such dis
tinguished musical savantS might be
mildly pleased with a creditable effort
on the part of the chorus to do it's
best. but no one was prepared tC see
these sober, dignified people so wrought
up and overcome as to lead one of their
number in a parCxism of excitement to
lump to his feet and yell like wild
Comanche in applauding an exception
ally brilliant outburst on the part of
the chorus For the first time in the
memory of man there appeared to be
utterly nc room whatever for the old
stereOtyped they did well for cOlOred

it is to be questioned whether chorus
several times whittier than the spotlesS

ter
