His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening Of Oklaho-
ma to settlers in 1889, the editor
Of this paper was amongth the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him y very
severe diarrhoea. which ses.Aed
almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became So
bad he expected to die. One OF
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope, A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests

The Country Editor.

One needs but a very superb
cial acquaintance with American
history, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, to appreciate
the relation which the country
editor has borne to the republic.
A great British statesman has
declared that all reform move
ments begin in Lancashire and
end in London. 1t NAV likewise
be affirmed that the policies of
this nation are primarily shaped
in the comparative seclusion of
the rural sanctum, the directors
of the metropolitan press being
for the most part middlemen in
ideas, as city merchants are in
commodities.
We may be sure that no vlcls-
situdes will ever rob the country
editor of his peculiar glory as the
man who writes little but thinks
much. In>the end, the fabric of
our policy will be moulded by the
quiet artists in phase who draw
the picture in true perspective.
When rural journalism ceases to
count, the republic will cease to
endure.

The "Rounder." "

The recent negro trou bles in
Ellisville, Hattiesburg and Laurel,
have caused the serious concern
of the thinking people. For
several years the negroes about
Ellisville, at least, have given no
trouble of any moment, and in
the opinion of the News the set.
tied colored population here is
the best of it's race that can be
found in the state. There are
and have been few turbulent
negroes among them, but the
vast majority have been peace
able, law-abiding and respectful
The present troubles, then are
logically TO be traced to the new
comers. Strange negroes may
be seen in either of the three
towns at nearly all hours of the
day or night. Most Of them toll
not, neither do they spin. Their
toilet seems to consist of dice,
razors and revolvers. Their
hands are soft, giving evidence of
their antlpathy to honest labor;
their manner is generally impu-
dent. They hang about the post
offices. depots and other public
places, and when they are not
gambling or fleeing their more
industrious colored brethren. they
are making trouble with their
mouths.
These FOUNDERS are the bane
of the south. The local author1
tiles should be watchful, and
every town should be purged of
their presence. The vagrancy
laws are we'll adapted to running
them out, and the laws should be
!inforced to the very letter against
them. The class of "rounders"
is growing, There have never
been so many desperate negro
loafers and roustabouts travelling
about this section as now.
The News would suggest the
concerted action of the author
tiles in the towns on the North
eastern which they infest, And
more than that, it urges the Co
operation of every citizen as well.
1t will also be to the advantage
Of the law abiding members of
the colored race to see that they
are run out, and if the influential
negroes of Ellisville and other
towns will aid in the good work
and assist the officers in locating
them, they will have done more
for their race and cause than all

tence -Ellisville News.

Reply To "Whither are We Drifting

Editor Times Promoter
"Whither are we drifting" the
article of M. Cbas Shepherd in
your last issue, would lead one to
believe that our system of taxa
tion in Mississippi is principally
the single income tax which was
declared unconstitutional by the
United States supreme court
in 1892. Hence the statement
that the ''greater part OF our taxes
are levied upon labor products"
is untrue for in the production of
wealth thereis necessary the COM
bin.oiion of capital labor and
management. The white man
almost invariably furnishes the
capital and management and grant
ed that all labor is by the negro,
he would furnish only one.third
of tho requisites for the pro-
duction of wealth.
The gentleman says that the
second point in the campaign of
Vardaman is race prejudice. That
there has been race prejudice,
that there is, that there always
will be us long as suutherners
live, every one will admit. To
one obseryant of the Ways and
life of the negro, the idea forcibly
strikes him that the happiest
negro is the uneducated one. To
educate the negro renders him
unfit for menial labor as exper-
ience will bear out. Why is it
that the towns are so fiocked with
them. Further, to educate the
negro is to inculcate in him the
ideas of discomfort with menial

fight which takes place in this city Friday
night.
Champion Jeffries has been installed as
a strong favorite at to 2, and 1t is the
general opinion that these figures will re-

battle.
The sale Of seats has just begun and
there has already been an unusually heavy
demand. The officials Of the Yosemite Ath-

istic encounter occurs, expect the biggest
crush ever witnessed at ring battle in
San Francisco and have no doubt that the
sale OF tickets will represent more than
$4,000.
Jeffries varied his training by participant
ing in benefit performance at the Springs
Thursday night, for Mrs. Stuart. the sick
widow OF stage driver, and George Nut
ter, an old pioneer. There was no chance
to beat the door. as yef.ries sold tickets
