representative dwight, OF
New York, has introduced a bill
in Congress providing for a pos
tai currency with notes Of 5, 10,
Is and so cents, to be issued by
the Postmaster General and sold
by all pOstmasters. This or a
similar system Of postal checks
would be a great convenience TO
the public. Our present money
order system is cumbersome.
Even in large cities it is impossi-
pie 10 get money order in many
Offices after six o'clock. 1t is
necessary to write an order for
the order and this in turn is
copied by the clerk. The recei-
yer of the order has to establish
his identity and if the amount is
at all large the smaller Offices are
not able to pay it at once. The
order itself is expensive. 1t
would be a saving OF time, labor
and expense to all concerned if it
were possible to buy postal cur
rency as easily as stamps.
Another resolution has been
introduced providing for l cent
postage. This to would meet
public approval. The revenue
which the Department might
lose through one cent postage
could be made up in part by the
correction of abuses in second
class mail matter. The privilege
of second class mail benefits pri-
marily the publisher and the adj
vertiser. 1t should be accorded
anly to bona ide periodicals,

questions cannot be treated in
politics, but every bit of race issue
in politics was disposed of in this
State when, as President Calhoun
said in his closing speech, politi'
cal sovereignty had been trans
ferred by the constitution to the
whites. That is all there is to it.
That took the race issue out OF
politics, and Mississippi has had
none since and in all p1obabili
ty never will have any. The
trainers of the constitution had
builded wisely and well. !"
The arguments put forth by the
Press are unanswerable and every
rejecting Mississippian should
give them careful and due con-
sideration. No matter what is
done at Washington, the white
people of Mississippi are in con
troll of the situation and they
will always retain that control.

Violation OF the Primary Election Law

~ sA@S = A~AANAy AASSsAVAA 4AAWs
Mr.. Editor: Complaints have
been made to me that the laws
governing primary elections we're
ruthlessly and recklessly disre-
garded at Montgomery and Good
water precincts on the 9th of
August. At Montgomery, it is
charged that certain parties
(among them a candidate for dis
trict Office in this ,district), had
whisky and that they used it
freely, which resulted in one or
two men lying in the woods nearly
all day drunk, while number Of
others became SO badly intoxicat-
ed that they had to have help to
make out their tickets. At Good
water, it is said, the thing was
wide OPEN" Lots of liquor.
Prominent among the parties who
were "dishing it OUT were two
gentlemen who came out from a
certain town in the interests of
certain candidate for a county
Office. One of these parties got
SO drunk that his friend had to
put him in buggy and carry him
back to town. | want to call the
attention of these gentlemen to
section 1916 of the old primary
law, which has never been repeal
ed, and also to section Ii of the
new primary law. | would like
to say to these and all other parties
who do business that way, that
the people of Beat Two are up
against this thing, and if they are
contemplating using liquor in the
next primary we would advise
them to 60 to some other part Of
the county. The probabilities
are that some warrants will be is
sued as soon as the next primary
is over. Let all govern them
selves accordingly.

The Truth TerseIy Told.

The Meridian Press takes no
stock in the cry that there is a
race question in this State. In
reply to the Vicksburg Herald
the Press contains splendid ar
ticle on the race question, and one
which should be given wide cir
culation. The Press, among 9th
er things, says:
"What we wish to say is, that
no matter what capers may be cut
by politicians at Washington,
there is no race issue before the
people of Mississippi, in Missis-
sippi, and the people of Mississip-
pi know it. The very speech of
President Calhoon of the conven-
ton of 1890, quoted by the Her
aid, asserts that divided political
sovereignty could not be shared
by two distinctive types of
mankind" and the convention
transferred all political sovereign
ty to one of the two types, as the
people of Mississippi very well
know, even if the Herald does
not. That type does all the
voting, makes all the law, holds
all the offices, handles all the
moneys. All political sovereignty,
to use the words of the Herald's
own witness, rests in one type,
namely the white people of the
State. If this does not take all
race issues out of politics, then
pray, what will? What more is
left to confer upon the one dis
tiuctive type of mankind!
What, that is to say of public
nature?' The Herald should re-
member that it is not possible to
fool all the people all the time.
The whites of Mississippi ale in
the public saddle, fully and COM
pletely, and they know it, and all
Of mankind knows it, the Varda-
NANTES of the time being alone
excepted.

Of fruit-pears, peaches or grapes. The

For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They Should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
III the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings OF limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and Indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition 81
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
GUS by giving them natures medicine, Paine,s

white Institute and Gold Medal Contests.

As has been previously an
lnounced, a two weeks Institute
or Normal for white teachers will
begin at the public school building
| in Brookhaven at 10 a. M, Au-
gust Oath.
From a strictly professional
point of view, every effort will
be made by the county superin-
tendent and his co-workers to
make this the most profitable
teachers meeting ever held in the
county.
The progressive element of Lin
coin county's educational forces is
strong because this element is
united. Their support and aid are
earnestly solicited in this work.
Every person who expects to
teach in the county at any time
during the next scholastic year
and who has not attended some
teachers normal during the pres
ent summer, will be expected to
attend for the full term.
A daily record of the punctual-
ity, attendance and class work OF
each teacher will be kept and
afterwards preserved in h e
county superintendent Office.
This will be used as a guide in
fixing salaries for the coming
term. Those without such at
tendance will be paid on the basis
of thirty dollars per month.
Trustees contemplating the en-
ployment of teachers out of the
county are requested to notify
their teachers at once of these
rulings.
A special feature of the work
will be Laboratory Physics, y
taught strictly by experiment.
In this, two hundred dollars worth
of apparatuses, specially adapted
to high school work, will be used.
The principals of the county high
schools are specially requested to
take this work. The gold medal
contest will be, by far, the best
represented and the most holly
contested of any ever given in
the county before. The partici-
pants will be as follows:
