correct the erroneous assessment
of the city, given out to the world
in 1900, and can be compiled so
as to give other matter OF interest
valuable to the city.
This week number OF promi-
nent merchants asked us to pub
lish a complete directory OF the
city within the next few months.
We agreed to do this and will make
a canvass of the city within the
next thirty days for subscribers,
This directory we propose to get
out will be as complete as that OF
Memphis or any city, giving all
the statistics concerning the city.
1t will be strongly bound and
printed on good paper. To assist
us in the work we have secured the
services of an experienced direc'
tory man which insures the sue
cess of the edition. All we ask if
the cooperation of our business
men and the city will have the
directory.

POINT THEM THE WAY

The action of one of Greenville's
best colored citizens in having
arrested. for being drunk in front
of his home. a woman of his own
race. deserves not only the en-
dorsement of that race, but the
Caucasian also.
The careless Indifference of the
colored race in general to allow
acts of this and of a worse nature
pass by unnoticed is the reason
why so many of the race go to the
bad.
In our opinion, if the colored
preacher and teacher would point
their congregations the way to
make an honest living ipstead OF
preaching for hours their plans OF
salvation, less of their men would
get their names on the penitentiary
rolls and their women in question
able resorts.
The laws of the country are
made for the governing OF the col,
ored as we'll as the white race and
the hard working, honest colored
man and his family can, if he will,
rid his surroundings OF these
questionable characters.
The negro man with his tailor
made suit and patent leather shoes
paws for them in some other way
than at honest toll in store, mill or
on the farm. The negro woman
with rings on her fingers and
dressed in tailor made suits does
not earn them over the wash tut
or cooking. Such a class is not
lift to associates to associate with
the honest, hard working negro,
and his family, and should be os
tracised by them.
The law will do its duty IT ap
pealed to and it is the duty of this
race to start the reform move.
ment which looks to the improve
ment of their society.

AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

WHY does an advertisement in
the Times pay?
Because more people read it.
Because the ad is better dis
PLAYED than in the ordinary run OF
newspapers.
Because the advertiser offers the
readers real bargains.
Because The Times contains
news that no other paper in the
city contains.
In substantiation of the above,
we will relate short but true adj
vertising story.
Several weeks ago we were ap,.
preached by Mr. Jules Whitney, OF
the Robinson Bankrupt Store, and
asked what We would charge for a
small For Sale adj.
Fifty CENTS we replied.
Well" he continued, If I
thought anyone would read it, |
would give 30 cents. but L will
make you this proposition. You
put in the adj and if I sell the stuff
/ will give you 10 per cent. .
We accepted the proposition,
and the below ad was inserted:
On February 1st we called at the
store and the bill was settled, ne
paving us instead of so cents, the
large sum- of $3.50, or, in othel
words. 81 more than we asked
Now, if the little For Sale az
broug ht in returns as this, where i
there a merchant in the city wh'
can afford to pass year without
an ad of some kind in the paper
There is not one and the sooner h
realizes that a dollar invested il
an attractive newspaper adervtise
ment will bring in two, the soon
er he will stop talking about har'
times.
If the advertiser cannot afford t
spend 500 year, let him spen
$50 or $25, anyway, get your ad il
your home paper whose clrcu
lation reaches the people OF you
city and county. In the end sue
an investment will prove NOR
profitable than all the circulars o
street dodgers you would print, 70
the paper remains on the cente
table for the family to read, Will
the circular is thrown in the stree
or in the fire.
This story proves too things: tha
the Tines ads are read it and goe
out every Saturday night for Nor
day. and the next weeks buyers
; Again, it proves that it is impol
tant for the people to read advel
: tisements as many rare bargain
. are picked up in this way.

A CITY DIRECTORY.

One of the present needs OF the
city is a directory. There is not
a day that passes but what new
faces greet one on the street. The
demand made upon the real estate
men for houses has about exhaust
ed the supply, and in any di;
rection one may look new, finished
houses may be seen. New stores
opening and old ones changing
hands is nearly weekly occur
renee. These business concerns
and their location are hardly known
by any business man, much less
by the citizen in the city. In fact,
when confronted with the ques-
ton: Where is Mr.. or Mrs. So
and-So's store or residence, you
either have never heard of the
party, OF cannot give the desired
information.
Is5This embarrassment can be over
come by a first-class city directory.
A directory, if gotten out right as
We propose to do if we can secure
the support Of the business men of
the city, will, il q great measure

The horror that some imagine
they see in saddlling a part OF the
debt on the coming generation Is
all moonshine. Ask one of these
little men of tomorrow and we
dare say that he will express the
opinion that the streets ought to
be paved and like his father, vii
be willing to bear, some day, hill
part of the taxation.
The matter is now up to the in
dividual citizen. The League has
done its part, the property owner
on the proposed streets to be paved
has done his. the council theirs,
and it is with you to say whether
or not you will allow the streets to
make or kill your town.

TO STAMP OUT SMALLPOX.

Smallpox has been successfully
dealt with elsewhere and there is
no reason why the same may not
be done in Mississippi and Wash
intgon county. A treatise just
published by the board of health
on the recently successful battle
against the outbreak of smallpox
in that community should be read.
This treatise shows that no SOON
er was the first case of the disease
properly diagnosed than thor
ough system of investigation and
prevention was inaugurated. Un-
der that system, during the contin-
uation of the disease, ninety-seven
h 1uses were quarantined, all sus-
picous cases were promptly report
ed and looked into, pest house
erected and guarded by members
of the local militia, and a scheme
of compulsory vaccination institut-
ed by thorough house to, house
canvass. In a paper read before
the State Medical society upon
the outbreak, says The Philadel-
phia Press, DR.. A. R. Craig, in
noting that 1O,25O persons were
vaccinated during the epidemic,
said that out of the 100 cases re-
ported "148 had never been vac
cinated, tow had been successfully
vaccinated, eight we're vaccinated
within a week of the development
of the smallpox for the first time
and three had been vaccinated II
childhood. The vaccination,
he continued, proved to be less
than one-ffth the expense O.
stamping out the disease, and, hao
it been undertaken earlier, an
convinced that the other items
would have been reduced t.
very trifing figures.
| In any case, however, continue
the Press, the result of the worl
of the Columbia board of healtl
was that, at the expense of jus
$6,14O, the plague was SO wei
! kept in hand and finally conquere'
that in population of IL, l36 Their
were, in six months, only IL
cases and but two deaths-in eac,
instance that of a baby fey
weeks old.

6ifR BTREETS.

In another column we publish a
plan presented by Mr.. W. h. Neal,
an cx-street overseer Of the city,
ard who at present holds the con-
tract to place the two roads enter
ing the city in first calss condition,
for street paving. Mr.. Meals plan
is a feasible one and will meet with
the endorsement of most OF our
readers.
There is no argument that can
be presented against the paving
of our streets. The fact that the
majority of those living along
them offer to pay one-third or one
quarter of the cost, leaving the
street car company one-third to
paw. and the balance by the city,
which make the amount very
sma Il for the Individual taxpayer;
and that extended over a series OF
yea rs. should not allow anyone
who wishes to rid the city Of its
mi le Of mud and holes. vote against
tbs bond issue if it comes up.

If the city council at their next
tax adjustment meeting will assess
the property owners according to
the value of thier property and
business, they will find enough
property and money tax unpaid for
in the city to pave one-third OF the
streets without any increas in the
present assessment. This we will
prove in future issue OF the
Times, soon as we get all the data
together. No doubt the article
will open the eyes of many when
they see the small tax some OF the
citizens are paying.

NAUGHTY PUP.

The coming of Miss Roosevelt to
the South this month to be the
guest in New Orleans of a well
known and wealthy family has at
tracted considerable attention, and
her well-wishers throughout the
country are trusting that on the
streets of the Crescent City during
the gay season there may be no
such display of limbs and lingerie
as Miss Roosevelt unfortunately
entertained her friends and the
Washington public with last week.
1t is stated that while this
most charming daughter OF the
White House was out walking with
! monocled dude little pup with
rope tied about his neck, during
moment of fright, got tangled up
with Miss Roosevelt's garments,
and for the space of a minute it
was difficult to distinguish where
dog and human feet were the most
active. At any rate the embar-
rassment of the young lady and
the shock of the feminine man
who was with her at the time, was
duly telegraphed over the country,
and the poet who could not get
license if he applied for one, has
indited these beautiful lines to
the incident.
Audacious little brindle pup
To trip Miss Alice Roosevelt up!
To plump her on the icy walk,
Where idle rubbernecks could gawk
And humble such naughty Miss
AS this Miss very truly is.
Why not pick out lowly girl,
And get her feetlets in a whirl?
But you, audacious little cur, (whirl
Made Alice Roosevelt's brain-paI
You gave her sundry jolts and jars
And caused the maid to witness stars
If you had tripped her escort, then
You would have pleased lot of men
You could have left the dude wreck
With broken arms and legs and neck
And no one would have cared rap
Because they hated that poor chap.
A hero'you would now have grown
II you, that dude, had only thrown.

STAND BY YOUR PAPER R.

It is admitted by every business
man that a town without live,
wide awake newspaper is a dead
town. In fact. a town can get
along better without almost any
business or institution it has than
without a live newspaper. The
morality, the education, the pro-
gressiveness, the business of any
community for good or bad, can
be traced to the press or the need
of 1t. Therefore, there is not an
institution in the city but what
shouldcontribute in advertisements
towards the support OF its home
paper.
This will give the paper tinan-
cial backing that will make it in
dependent of any clique or ring
for its support, and at the same
time issue paper that will be
credit to the city. AS a rule the
newspaper man is the hardest
worked and the poorest paid man,
IF any, in the city. He is expected
to do everything in the way Of So
Letting, promoting or executing at
charitable or business, undertaking

the doctor, might "have to see a

who may have ever SO much to do, is
laughed at for his excuse as he is
expected to fulfill every duty i'm
posed upon him by the public.
Again, he is the last man the
people will pay, because the &C.
counts due him are small, and, be-
ing a good fellow, he is put off. II
is for this reason, that SO many
bear hard name for not paying
their debts, when, if they had half
the money that is due them, they
wuld have their debts paid and 6
bank account besides. The news
paper man, if he is a newspaper
man at all, does not hesitate to dc
all in his power to build up hi'
town. and will fight to the las
ditch defending it, but he does like
to be shown some appreciation fol
his efforts.
Let any man before he runs dow
