Roosevelt has selected a negro
lawyer from Boston to second his
nomination when he receives it at
Chicago. That suits us as for as
it goes but we should like to know
if he wants a negro preacher to
preach his funeral when he starts
M Salt river. If he does we will
suggest the Georgia bishop, Tur-
ner, who says that ii he "dldn't
believe that Christ was a black
man he wouldn't worship him."
The government report OF acreage
planted in cotton this season gives
mississippi an increase OF seven
and a half per cent. We have all
along thought that the in
crease was largely over estimated,
We believe that 1t is less than the
government states it to be. The ln-
creas is all on this side of the
Mississippi river and this is off
set by the decrease on account OF
the boil weevii on the west side.

Corn in the Delta.

The delta planters I showing
wisdom this year in the planting
of their crops. Many Of them
have greatly increased the acreage
given to corn and have thus reduc-
ed their cotton crops. Corn has
been selling in the delta at from
sixty-fve to seventy-five cents per
bushel and as many of the planters
down there use thousands of bush
els every year it will be seen that
it makes a great big item of their
expense accounts. The delta lands
are equal to any en- earth for pro
ducing corn and oats. 1t is apenny
wise and pound foolish way to
plant when a farmer raises all
cotton and has to buy all the corn
he consumes. The hauling OF corn
from the depots and landings is a
big item and as it is chiefly d one
while the crops are being cultivat-
ed it is 9 bad policy not to raise 1t
on the plantation where it is used.
The corn crops in that part OF
the state are said to be very fine.
An average crop is said to be fly
bushels per acre. At fifty cents
per bushel this is twenty five dol
lars per acre-more than the plant
err makes on a bale Of cotton.

~Tombi4,bee Railroad.

Judge Newman Cayce, Of Column
bus, was in the city last week at
ter a visit to points on the line of
the contemplated railroad to be
built parallel with the Tombigbee
river north and south Of Column
bus. There is comfortable inter-
est being manifested in this enter
prise and it looks like it may be
carried through. A road along
the proposed route would open up
a region Of the state which Is re-
mote from railroads and which is
highly productive and densely
populated. The navigation of the
Tomblgbee is a very uncertain
factor in the transportion faclll-
ties of east Mississippi and as the
entire region is progressing, both
in the consumption and production
of products, better facilities are de-
manded. These can readily be
supplied by a railroad parallel
ing the river. The route proposed
is entirely practicable and along
it the material for building the
road nbounds. The route is not
yet definitely located and it has
occurred to US that it would be a
good idea for Tupelo to take a
hand in the scheme and try to
defect the road from Aberdeen to
this city. 1t strikes us that this
wonld be the best point for it to
tap both the Mobile and OHIO and
the Frisco roads. The commercial
importance Of this place makes
of it an interesting proposition to
consider. Judge Cayce is very
sangulne of success in the enter
prise and woald doubtless, give
the proposition careful considera-
fi0n

in each Of which our young towns
man was victorious. We congratu-

pleased to add his name to the
list of Lee county's sons who have
led IN contests for forensic and

is about eighteen years old and is

Lee County Again Honored.

In the list of thirty II gradu-
ates Of the A. & M. College, on
June the LIST, were the names OF
two of Lee county's promising
young men who wear the laurels
gained by their four years of dill,
ligent study and application at that
celebrated institution. One Of these
is Charles Spencer, son of DR.. w.
c. Spencer, of Verona, who was
adJutant, with the rank Of captain
cy, of the battalion Of cadets at
the collegefor two years past. Mr..
Spencer, early in his pupilage at
the college, attracted the attention
of the faculty and soon gained
their confidence and high regard.
He is a very bright and intellect
nal young man and promises to
win high honors for himself and
reflect credit upon his native state.
He has accepted the position of
adiutant professor in Mary Con-
nor college at Paris, Texas, where
he will begin his professional ca
reer on the LIST Of September next.
The other is Lemuel Brown, son Of
the late George Brown, Of this city
who was major Of the battalion of
cadets in the college. Mr.. Brown
is a young man of a very high or
der of talent which inclines to
military pursuits. He stood very
high in his classes and enjoyed the
confidence and esteem Of the entire
faculty and of his classmates. lie
has applied for a second lleuten-
place in the U. S. Army, and
has fine prospects of securing the
appointment. !.
The Journal takes pride and
pleasure in noting the success
these sons of Lee county
have achieved and predicts that
each of them will enroll his name
upou the states roll of honor men.

CurtaiIIn9 Production.

Advices from the eastern man
ufacturers of cotton show that
they are very much interested in
the present situation, a regards
the great staple, and are endeavor-
ing to devise the means by which
their mills may be continued in
operation. A meeting of the larg-
er manufacturers was recently held
at Boston which resulted in orders
being sent out to many mills in
central and southern New England
to curtail their running hours and
their production. The great Penn
berton mills at Lawrence, Mass,
were shut down, last Saturday, for
two months and the VAN S u a
mills, one of the largest mills in
Massachusetts, have been closed
for the remainder of the season.
Many other mills have closed down
and it is evident that the eastern
manufacturers are confronted by
conditions that give them uneasi-
ness. $4,000 operatives are inter-
ested in the closings already in eff
feet and many thousands more
will, perhaps, Be affected before
the situation is adjusted. So far
as these operatives are concerned
the closing down of a mill IS equity
-
alent to a strike. When the mill
stops the pay stops and the suffer
ing begins.
We are not a full hand in the
exercise of christian charity for
the sordid, selfish fellows who own
and operate the eastern cotton
mills. They have weeded a wide
swarth ever since they started in
business and have fatted upon the
gains which they have received
through the unrighteous operation
of unholy legislation. They have
lorded it over the south ever since
the war and are still doing all in
their power to hinder and obstruct
the progress of that section. Ret
ribution is tightening its coils
about them which, according to
to the law which says, can eye
for sn eye and a tooth for a TOOTH
will squeeze the life out of them.
We have just enough of charity in
our composition to look on in in
difference while they r being
squeezed.
The Tupelo journal., 1904-06-10
The Vagrancy Law.

The Jackson scribblers for the
press continue to fnd fault with
the operation of the vagrancy law.
They claim that it demoralizes Ia
Dor and that it is running lots of
negroes out Of the state. In their
minds the law is the most obnox-
ious that was ever enacted. We
don't know what sort of glasses
they look through when they in
dite the improbable and intangible
fabrications that they ask intelli.
gent people to accept as gospel
truth-a moral commodity which
we think would be as hard to find
in their use as it would be to find
the tabled needle IN the haystack.
These scribblers don't know any
thing about the operation of the
vagrancy law and base their ideas
about negroes leaving the state on
the scarcity of them on the streets.
If a stranger should come into this
city now he would be amazed to
find so few negroes on the streets.
The lazy loungers about dirty al
legs and public places are not to be
seen. This is due to the operation
of the vagrancy law and because
no negroes are tobe seen it does not
follow that they have left the state.
They are at work-where b e.
should be-and are earning at least
IA part of what it takes to fee d
them. In dong this the law is ben.
efcent. If onr late Legislature had
done nothing else the enactment
OF the vagracy law would have en-.
titled it to the thanks of the good
people of the state. The people
who are affected by it r satisfied
with it and are disguised with what
some newspapers have to say abeu'
