A GREAT CALAMITY THREATEN.
ED.

The farming interests of the south
are beginning to realize the disas,
trous effects of the wanton destruction
of birds, which has been going on for
years. The slaughter which amounts
to little less than crime, threatens to
bring upon our country most fright
full calamity. Our only protection
against the insects that destroy crops
is the birds. They fill place of the
most vital Importance, and when they
are gone there is nothing else that can
do the work for which they were Great
ed.
The army worm, the grasshopper,
the chinch bug, the potato bug, the
seventeen year locusts have all shown
the power of the insect destroyer in
all kinds of ccrops.
Our only remedy is the protection
of our birds. The little songsters
that make vocal the fields and the
woods, that Tighten the burdens of
labor with their sweet notes are the
only salutations of the American far
mers. They have place in life, a
work of usefulness and when they are
destroyed-as they will be in few
years, if the ruthless slaughter for
millinery purposes and for sport, con-
tinues-science can devise nothing
that will take their places Thus
is threatened a national calamity,
fraught with the most deplorable
results. Meridian Star.

HE rs RIGHT.

Rev. Sam Jones, writing to the
Atlanta Journal from Chicago, has
the following reference to the whip
ping of white female convict in the
Georgia penitentiary:
Georgia has been pretty thoroughly
advertised and discussed on account of
the whipping of the white woman
convict. In the distance it looks
mighty bad, and the Officials who
sanctioned the deed before it was
done, and the officials who approve of
it since it was done had better resign,
sooner the better. / would as soon
whip corpse as a woman.
There is about as much manhood in
one as the other. No brave man ever
lifted his tongue or pen or hand ex-
cept in defense of woman. If I was
president of the United States and it
became my duty to take leather strap
and whip a woman, would deliber-
ately resign the office before would
do it. won't fight loose woman,
and ! am sure won't turn poor
woman prisoner down over a bed
and whip her with a leather strap
and then lose the strap. Ill lose my
JOB first. | am glad. there will be inc
more such scenes in the Georgia pen
itentiary.

ATE TAINTED BEEF.

Yazoo Sentinel: r. A. Pickett and
his two sons, Will and Bob, were
taken suddenly i'll Tuesday afternoon,
and the prompt arrival Of physician
saved them from what might have been
very serious if no fatal illness.
They attribute their illness to the
eating of beef steak. Their reason for
believing this is that they we're the
only members of the family who ate
the steak for dinner, and none of the
others were taken sick. Mr.. Piackett
and his younger son were up town a
couple of hours after sdinne1, and were
taken suddenly i'll. They were taken
home in a carriage, and DR.. McCor-
mick was promptly summoned and ad-
ministered relief. In the meantime,
Will Pickett, who had gone to the ball
game, was taken suddenly i'll, and
had to be brought home in a carriage.
Young Bob Pickett, who had eaten
the largest portion of the meat, was
more seriously affected than any Of
the Others. The remedies applied by
the physician brought relief, but la
ter in the evening he took a relapse
and tainted, and it was thought he
was dying. The physician was sum.
moned again, and he was soon restor-
ed to consciousness.
Yesterday morning they had all re.
covered sufficiently to be able to be
out.

1t is this class that a law should be

the emblems because Of their fidelity

Editor Brandon News 1t is evident
that the race question will be the par
amount issue in the presidential cam
paign next year. The republicans
have practically decided to make it
the leading plank in their next nation
al platform. President Roosevelt has
forced the leaders of his party to
adopt negro equality as the next cam
paign slogan. There are several
reasons why he favors this policy.
It is apparent to all observing men
that the tariff and financial questions
have become stale with the voters
north of Mason and Dixon's line, and
the republicans will be compelled to
adopt new cry to arouse the preju-
dices of the masses against the DEM
ocracy. The race question is all they
have to fall back on, and they are
going to use it for all it is wor th.
The republican party will boldly
declare for federal election law that
will place the ballot again in th Q
hands of the southern negroes. With
such an issue confronting the dem
cratic party the chances of winning
an old time democratic victory will be
very bright indeed, provided the dem
ocrats are judicious in naming the
candidates to lead in the fight.
The time has arrived when thu
south must have man on the DEM
ocratic ticket, a man who can discuss
the race question in calm and
logical manner before northern as
well as southern audiences. The head
of the ticket must come from New
York, and he must be man who can
command the support of the business
men, from which source must come
the money to conduct the campaign.
1t takes money to win great political
battles, and if democracy is to
succeed the financial interests must
be won over. The business men
OF New York have always stood by the
people of the south when the race
question was an issue in presidential
fight, and they will be with us in
the coming struggle. There must be
no division in democracy ranks.
Gold and silver men alike must be
found fighting side by side to save
he country from the black peril that
threatens it. This can be accomplish
ed by nominating a New York man
for president and southern man
vice president, and I would suggest
William r. Hearst, of New York,
for president, and Anslem j. Nc
Laurin, of Mississippi, for vice pres
ent. OF course I would prefer to
have Governor McLaurin head the
ticket, but the northerners will insist
on first place, and their wishes will
have to be acceded to. / believe as
firmly as I believe anything that
these great men would reunite the
old party and carry the party stand.

AND M'IAURIN
Race Question Will Be Paramount in Presi-
dental Campaign Next Year.

He has always fought the battles of
labor in the columns of his great news
papers, the New York Journal, the
San Francisco Examiner and the Chi
cago American. His most liberia
purse has always been at the disposal
of those in need. Mr.. Hearst is also
very popular with the business men of
the country. The great success he
has made in the newspaper business
has given him splendid standing in
the business world. AS evidence of
the great popularity, he was elected
to congle ess on the democratic ticket
in New York last fall by the largest
majority ever given candidate in
his district With Hearst heading
the ticket Roosevelt would lose the
support of the independent voters of
New York and that state would once
more wheel into line for the democ-
racy.
The selection Of candidate for vice
president is as important as the selec-
tion of man to head the ticket.
The vice presidential candidate must
be well known and able to discuss
the issues of. the campaign in a
mastery and convincing manner. With
the race question paramount the dem
ocracy could not select more able
champion than Anslem J. McLaurin !
of Mississippi. He can win more
votes in the north than any other
man. His great speech on the closing
of the Indianola postoffice, delivered
in the senate of the United States,
won him fame as national legisla-
tor. The press of the north-demo-
cratic, republican and independent
applauded and praised him for the
mastery manner in which he hand
led the subject. He is without doubt
the most popular man in either
branch of the American congress, and
his vote getting ability is unquestion-
ed. He is beloved not only in his
own land, but in the land beyond
the historic Potomac as we'll. A north
ern audience would appreciate his
great logic as we'll as southern
audience, and he would rally the great
independent element to democracy
standard. Hearst and McLaurin can
win. Let's nominate them.
