we had overlooked. 1t was this,
that not until the new departure
Of President Roosevelt was taken

points in the State to Corinth to
witness the horrible spectacle.
The president had, when he inau.
gurated this new policy, been as
sured that such action on his part
would secure protection from mob
violence in the State. The oppo-
site has been the result. what is
the matterf were promises made
to the president thai are not being
kept!
How is this, don't all speak at
once.
1t is clear to our mind that the
conduct of Roosevelt in dealing
with the negro question IN the
south has had the effect of
strengthing the prejudices exist
ing between the races and that in
his selection of a referee in Missis.

the negro an injury from which he
can never recover aud he has paw

Tie silvery moon looked down
upon them as they stood on the
pier ravenously devourlng the
love-light in each otl ers eyes. The
wild intensity of his passion caus-
ed the blood to surge through his
veins like the "Turbinia" in a
storm, and the palpitation Of his
heart shook the ponderous timbers
of the pier to its foundat on.
AS he gazed upon her ethereal
form he wondered how such an
angelic creature could survive in
such a vulgar and unsympathetic
world. She looked so bewitchingly
fair that it seemed like dissertation

The Reason Why.

The location OF q cotton mill
at Tupelo through the instru ment-
atty Of q little advertising aud
some work on the part Of its COM
mercial organizations calls atten-
ton to the absence and emphasiz-
es the need Of q live, aggressive,
public spirited body here. We
have had boards Of trade without
number and they have been COM
posed Of we'll meaning citizens
who have paid their money and
then talked the organization to
death without doing any work.
What is needed is q committee of
ten or fifteen good men to look
after such an enterprise, to do the
work, and the entire business and
commercial community to back
them up financially aud otherwise.
Such a plan if put into effect here
could accomplish a great deal for
the advancement of Columbus.
Columbus Dispatch.
The reason why Columbus is
not now a large city. rivsling
Birmingham in manufactures of
iron and all lines, is simply be-
cause her good people have slept
upon her rights. Columbus pos
sesses advantages Of location over
any city of Mississippi aud enjoys
privileges and opportunities supe-
rior to any place in the State. The
city is located on a navigable river
on the one side and is swept on
the other by a bold and dashing
stream which could furnish water
power sufficient to move all the
machinery in use at Falls River,
Mass. The country contiguous
is f ertle and capable of producing
all the provisions necessary to feed
a city of a hundred thousand people.
Iron ore in unlimited quantities
exists within thirty miles and coal
In abundance can be had within
fifty miles of the city. Any guam.
tity of pine and other hard woods
can be easily RATED down the
Tombigbee, to supply lumber for
building aud timber for manufac-
turing. The health of the city is
fine, its water supply excellent
and its drainage perfect. It's
schools are unsurpassed and its
people r as intelligent and Gull
tured as any in the south. 1t is
noted as the seat of wealth, ease,
luxury and social refinement. All
that has been lacking is the dispo-
sition on the part of her people to
arouse from their delightful S siesta
of ocium cum dignitate and get on a
move of dash, push and energy. A
good leader with half a dozen alert
and determined helpers could wax.
Ell things up in the glorious old
town and soon put new springs into
her business affairs. Nature has
done more for Columbus than hel
people seem to be aware of. All
they need is to know what they
can do and the disposition to dc
it, to make of their city the lar
gest and finest of this region.

A Providence, r. l. school boy
assassinated his teacher because
she spurned his proffered love.
This is another case of miss placed
affection. If the boy had made
love to one Of the school girls the
chances are that she would have
accepted the banter. Teachers
can't put themselves on an equali-
ty with their pupils.

BANQUET FOR VICTORS.
Nelson Dewey High school wnI Han
q"et Basket B"iI Team at Eaciid
Hotel.

The students of the Nelson Dewey
high school ana alumni will banquet
the members of the victorious basket
ball team which twice defeated the
team representing the Blaine high
school.
The banquet will be given in the
Euclid hotel, on May y, and will be
one of the grandest affairs of the sea-
son. A bounteous menu will be SER
we'd after which toas's and dancing
interspersed with musical selections
will be the order of the evening. A
banner made by the young ladies of
the school will be presented to the

be given by members of lie school,
alumni and faculty.
Judging from the demand that at
present is being made for tickets it is
expected that covers will he laid for

the athletics of the Nelson Dewey and
promises that the affair will excel any
thing verattempted heretofore along
that line.

Board of Assessors.

The members of the board of assess
ors for the city met at the court house
Tuesday and organized for the years
work by the election of the following
officers: Thomas K, Christie, presi-
dent John w, Kelly, vice president;
+. A, LeClair, secretary.
The assessors have been doing some
work this week in the matter of per-
sonal property assessments, but it is
not expected that the assessment
books will be received until the legis-
lature has finished it's labors, as there
are several matters Of Importance now
pending before that body, the settle
ment OF which may materially change
the form Of the rolls.
The Legislature now has law be-
fore it which, if it goes into effect,
will place the owner of property in a
position to be assessed for the value
OF his property minus the amount OF
mortgage registered against ii, and
the holder of the mortgage would be
assessed to the full amount OF the
mortgage.
