We Needed to he christianised.
Rarbsrism still Exists.

New York, Feb. IA Souther1er
took the Rev. DIR. Charles II. Park
hurst to task today in Madison Square
Presbyterian Church for statements
made from the pulpit at the morning
service in reference 10 the South.
He followed Or. Parkhurst into the
lecture room and waited for him to
lay aside his clerical garb. II was
these words OF the divine that the
Southernor resented:
Even at this day, so long after
the proclamation of emancipation,
there is in many parts OF the South
a condition of veritable slavery. Al
though we claim to be civilized peo-
pie, there Is a degree OF barbarism
in our treatment of the black race
that Is not exceeded In any part Of
the world. And although we send
our missionaries to chrlstianize other
lands. there are communities In the
South as un-Christian &C a1y part OF
heathendom.
The Southerner was well dressed
and punctilious. and gave the impress
sion that he would sooner walk a
thousand miles than ride in a Jim
Crow car. He introduced himself as
from Arlkn 1sas, but did not give his
name. He advanced as soon as DR..
Parkhurst had doffed his cassoek and
opened fire with the assertion that
there was no such thing as negro
question" in the South. He told Dr.
Parkhurst he was misinformed as TO
conditions in that section. The no

1T is policy due to political con-
ditions. and there Is no warrant for
declaring that condition of barbar.

The discussion was becoming warm,
and many persons looked on amazed.
One of the officers of the church
ehimed il that he stood by every
word the doctor said"
The Arkansan was cool ald spoke
with a suavity just short of provoking.
He defended lynchings with South
orners respect for women, and his
defense was eloquent.
But | have myself received from
a reliable man report of a lynch.

Mississippi State News


That the State Of Mississippi ex-
c.ls in all things good-"eyen in a
doge-was demonstrated again last
vsek at the trials of the United
states Field Trial Club at Grand
JUNCTION. Tenn. The lavish ex-
nenditure of money by the Whitneys,
DurYeas. Ameses, Lorillards and
others 10 win the Derby, resulted in
: signal defeat for them, and vic
tory for poor Mississippian's
pointer pup. On the first day there
arrived in a special train the
wealthy men of the East, including
Hobart Ames, II. B. Duryea, II. III.
Sturgiss, p. Lorillard and others.
Their trainers brought the dogs that
were looked on as enjoying a mort
GAGE for the rich purse hung up for
the winner of the Derby. Little at
tention was paid TO pointer, ham
died by a plainly dressed man, from
Corinth. Miss. When the final
brace we're started to settle the first
heat the pointer had things all his
own way and by all round good
work caught the judges eye and
won for his owner the title of cham
pion Derby dog of America. Al
fred's John was the name of the
pointer pup and Mr.. Jones that Of
the handler. Jones left his Missis-
sippi home full of confidence and is
reported to have said just before
leaving: 'If | win that Derby I'll
give the church $780," and he kept
his word Immediately on receiving
first money and the trophy that
went with the purse. Alfred's John
is regarded by dog men as a marvel.
lie has no pedigree, and but for this
handicap he might be worth thou
sands instead of $500, which Mr..
Whitney's representative offered af-
ter facing defeat in the last run-off.
Before the start of the last run-off.
entertained spectators around the
hotel with sideshow features, by
making Alfred's John do tricks that
would compare with similar stunts
accomplished in refined vaudeville.
Alfred's John is also coon and
'possum hunter, and will sstree" the
varmints Of the woods as readily as
he hunts quail on the ground. After
the easy victory of the poor mans
dog the Fasteners were the first
TO extend the hand Of congratula-
tion. The next move was to pur-
chase Alfred's John for Mr.. Mr. Whit
ney's kennels. But Jones refused
all offers and will leave for his home
near Corinth, carrying with him the
purse, pointer pup and $50 prom
i;ed to the little village church.
