AIR TROUBLES I'm COURT
j. H. Blume and John Riss in
Controversy Over Road.

The preliminary. hearing in the
case of the State vs.. John Riss of
Worthington township was held in
Justice Dow's court Monday morn
ing, but upon motion of the defend
ent the case was continued to Mon
day, September 26.
The complaint in the case J. 81.
B]ume, and County Attorney E. J.
Jones appeared for tho state at the
hearing, while the defendant came
into court without counsel and after
tho preliminary proceedings he
asked for adjournment in order
that he might obtain counsel.
, Mr.. Blume charges the defendant
with having assaulted him with a
shotgun with intent to kill. The
trouble appears to have started
when J. a. Blume wanted to pull
his threshing rig over what Mr..
Kiss claims as his private road.
Mr.. Riss resides lon section 80 Of
Worthington township, the house
is located about in tho center Of the
section. To get to tho house there
has been for years what il known as
a private road which runs through
the entire section to- get. onto tie
public highway from either side Of
the house. The place was home
steaded by Wilson. Ager good
many years ago and he permitted
it to be used by the public for their
convenience, but when Mr.. Riss
moved to the place he decided to
have the road discontinued and
closed it up by building fences ac-
cordingly.
The other day when Mr.. Blume
wanted to take short cut through
the field he pulled on the old road
and in 80 doing demolished the
fences which provoked Mr.. Riss and
he protested, but seemingly to no
avail. Mr.. Blume insisted upon
going through and Riss went to the
house and got his gun and told

years to get over the idea that i

40 is over now. All work is hon

command Of God that all men
should work for their daily bread.
No matter If be works with his

manhood has ebbed to nothing. 1t

The mechanics and the laboring
men are among our best citizens.
They live moderately, pay their
debts and perform all the Offices

Memphis and New Orleans.

Memphis continues to expand
at a rapid but celtain rate. For
the month Of May she led all
Southern cities in building opera
tions, except New Orleans, and
the record for June will show an
increase over last month. The
permits now being issued are for
homes, which are in great de-
mand. Many Of them are cottages
which are being erected by me-
chanics for themselves in the SUBJ
urbs, and the number Of these
evidences the general prosperity
current in this community, fol
prosperity at last rests on the la
boring man. 1t, is a good sign
for any city when the laborer
owns his own home, and owing to
the large number Of this class
resident here the more of them
possessing their little homes the
better off the whole people.
While the knocker is at work
running down the town and the
politician fighting for the spoils,
The industries of the city are
growing and adding to the COM

Let no city or town take great
JUNCTION unto itself because it is
building up. 4 It is common
history these times. The thing
to do is to keep up with the pro-
cession. IL is gratifying to all
Southerners TO note the prosperi-
ty Of Memphis and New Orleans.

blisslsslppi's Educational Condition.

Hon. iii. II. Whitfield, State
Superintendent Of Education, is
sending out an urgent appeal to
| the people OF the State to lend
him their aid in a summer cam
paign for lettering the education
of Che State. Mr.. Whitfield wants
longer school terms, better school
houses and a higher standard of
education in the country schools.
He states that the school system
Of the State is not up to the stand
ard of other States in the South,
and is not equal to the work of it,
ting the youth Of Mississippi for
competition in twentieth century
progress. Mr.. WhittieId's circu-
lar IS addressed to all the friends
of education in the State, to pa
irons of the public schools, minis
tiers Of the Gospel and others.
Summing up the situation in
Mississippi, he says:
"The greatest problem Of the
State that which overshadoWs all
others is the proper training Of
our children for the complex life
into which they are SO soon to en-
ter. Mississippi is state rich in
natural resources, and we have the
finest blood in the world. What
wn most need Is To train this blood
for intelligent mastery over these
rich resources.
'Our people are now hopeful
for better things; all desire bet
ter roads, improved methods in
agriculture, diversified industries,
a higher Christian citizenship and
all other kindred blessings. But
how are we to obtain them9 The
one great lesson we must learn is
that they will not come of them
selves, that they can not be con-
juTed into existence, that the en-
actment of legislation will not give
them to US, but that we can only
get them by the proper training
Of our boys and girls.
The necessary basis of this
training is good common schools.
We not only need more schools,
but better schools; we must have
better schoolhouses, longer terms
and stronger teachers. As the
head of the Mississippi school sys-
tenn / appeal to the thinking peo-
pie of the State to give me their
cooperation in this work. It is
my intention to continue the agi-
tation for better schools. Dur
ing the month of August | wishto
have the various counties of the
State canvassed along these lines,
and ! appeal to the ministers, law
yers, teachers and to all people
who can do work of this kind to
offer then help. / would be glad
to have citizens take local inter
est in this campaign. Great help
can be rendered by making ar
rangements to meet speakers with
conveyances at the train.
Please write me at once stat
ing how much time you can give
to this work, and where you can
meet engagements.
I wish as soon as possible to
prepare complete schedule of
appointments.

Humbuedlne the NEGRO.

If the negroes of this country
would come to their senses, and
look che facts squareIy in the face,
they would see that Roosevelt and
his ilk are using them without re-
ward. The recent National Con-
vention had about seventy FIVE
negro delegates in it, all of them
from the South. Why were the
blacks north of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers Disseminated
against2 Why was it that Mr..
Roosevelt went to Maryland to
find his coIored orator. Are there
no speakers of ability further
south? What do Lyon, Napier,
Settle and other eloquent negroes
think of thisg Il is obvious that
Roosevelt is breeding trouble for
the negro in the South in order TO
cater to the negro vote in The in
dependent States. He cares moth
ing for the negro so long as be
cannot use him. If bis party was
moved by an honest impulse every
doubtful State would have been
represented in the Chicago gath
eriDg by a black man, and a negro
from the South would have been
put forward as a spokesman for
his race. Commercial Appeal.

ANTI-SPITTING ORDINANCE.

The Clarion Ledger says the en-
actment BY the Mississippi state
board Of health of'a rigid anti-spit-
ting ordinance, is the first meas
ure of the kind ever promulgated
in Mississippi and has aroused a
great deal of interest, as it is APP
pllcable to the entire state, and
instructions have been sent to all
county and municipal health Off
GERS to see that it is strictly en-
forced.
Although no overt opposition
to the measure has been develop
ed, nor is it likely that the legali-
|ty of the ordinance will be test
ed, the point has been raised that
the state health board has no au-
thority to enact such far-reach
ing measure, as it is an usurpation
of the legislative function. The
point is not well taken. Under
sections 2271 and 2273 Of the an
notated code the board has full
powers to enact any measures
they may deem necessary for the
puolic health and safety, without
special legislative sanction. The
board has the authority to super
wise the health interests of the
people and to prescribe such rules
and regulations regarding meas
Iures Of sanitation as they may
deem advisable.
The anti-spitting ordinance, if
enforced, will of course
arouse a great deal Of controversy
and it viii doubtless require some
time to get its enforcement in
smooth working order. Il applies
to all public places, such as parks,
sidewalks, public and Office build
ings, factories 81 places where q
number of persons are employed,
railroad stations, tenement houses,
electric cars, trains, ETC., and il is
made the duty Of persons Id
change Of these places to provide
proper receptacles for expectora-
ton, and to have them cleaned
once each twenty -foul hours.
