where the blue SKY is only too often

I was amused recently when reading
an account of our American habits and
manners and their influences in the sis

many Of our ancestors came.

ministration is to be condemned.
This, however, is the result OF long
continued power by one party, grown
arrogant and confident OF its success;
but the Capitalization programme of
the Republican party is the greatest
menace that now confronts the peo-
pie.
All elements OF the Democracy
should unite in the efforts to elect
the broad-minded and upright stand
ard-bearer of the party whose success
will afford the surest path to future
harmony and victory
The above, together with other
acts of insolence and insult offered
to the people of the American re-
public are sufficient evidence to con-
vict any man of indifference to the
welfare OF a people, who now asks
to be retained in office at the hands
of liberty-loving people. Mississip-
plans and Southerners, vote if you
have to crawl to the polls, to defeat
the man and party whose aim is to
rob the south of representation, and
one who claims that his mother was
Southern woman.

The Delta Experiment Station.

We hope the supervisors will weigh
carefully next Monday the matter of
securing the Delta Experimental Sta
ton for Washington county.
1t is true it will take money to pur-
chase the 200 acres of land but this
is small investment when you con-
slider the far-reaching good it will do
the planter who has no time to ex-
pertinent with plants and fertilizers
that should prove successful will
some day bring back the money ex-
pended in higher land values, fac
tories, which means more railroads
and more taxes.
Prof. Hutchinson, who is with A &
NJ college will be here and have a
talk with members of the board and
citizens on the subject.
The railroad facilities and situation
of this county and possessing the
largest city, should make the county
the place to locate the station and
will no doubt have an influence on
the committee, but even possessing
the ideal and natural advantages we
do, they are prevented by law from
locating the station here unless we
furnish the 200 acres of land. Let
every planter and business man who
has the interest of his county at
heart as we'll as his own welfare,
come out to the board meeting next
Monday and work for the station.
If the board by law cannot approp-
rite the amount, raise it by popular
subscription. If line of experiments
were made on the destruction of CO.
Goa and should prove successful it
would mean thousands of reclaimed
acres of our lands that are now rob-
bed of its productiveness and value
by the grassy pest. Soon in taxes,

THE NORTH SHOULD RE-
TRACT

The conviction and sentence OF
the white man Dickey by jury
of his own race for committing a
criminal assault on negro girl in
Coahoma county, located in the black
belt, and sentenced by the court to a
life Imprisonment, should be a.. IL
ment enough to convince any fair
minded man in the North, whose
filings of untruth and injustice in the
past on the Southern people are
groundless, and if they are honest
people they will now retract, apollo
gize to the grandest people OF the
the greatest country on earth for the
wrong they have done them. This
shows that good negroes who attend
their own business will receive
Justice and fair treatment at the
hands of the Southern people, and
any statement to the contrary is
false.

VARDAMAN POSToFFICE

There is Backyard IN Mlssis-
sippi or at least the owner and edi-
tor of a Backyard newspaper,
named Vardaman, whose fellow-citi-
zens have disgraced themselves, or
would have disgraced themselves
if they had then known about him
what is known now, by electing him
Governor of the State. Some of them
even desire to have a postoffice
named after him. This desire is re-
sisted by the Postmaster General,
upon the ground that the man whom
it proposed to honorhas written an
dents mother.
done So But his denial is manifest
ly either an untruth or bubble.
The article which appeared in his pa
per proves it to be one or the other,
and cannot be cited in proof only be-
cause it is grossly indecent 1t full
ly justi6es the Postmaster General
in refusing to give effect to the wish
of the neighborhood in such a mat
ter as the naming of postoffice.
If some Mississipians should desire
their postoffice to be called Black
guardville the Postoffice General
would probably refuse his conesnt to
to such an act of disqualification.
And really that is what they have
done in asking to have it called Var
daman.-New York Times.
The above matter has long since
been a closed incident in Mississip-
pi. During the last gubernatorial
race, in which the much maligned
Vardaman was victorious, the arti-
Gle referred to was made much of by
his political opponents and enemies,
who, as the New York Times has
done, did not hesitate to magnify and
enlarge upon it to defeat Vardaman
in his race. But in spite of all this
classifying the people of this grand
old commonwealth knew Vardaman,
and their choice of him for their
governor settled the question and
closed the incident.
In the first place the New York
Times is in error in stating that the
article was about the Presidents
mother. The article was really in
reply to speech made by the Pres
ident in which he characterized the
old Confederates as traitors and an
archists, and Vardaman, being the
strong language to such an unjust
attack Everybody who knows the
gallant and chivalrous Vardaman
knows his reverence for womanhood
and his unfailing admiration and de-
his life has he been guilty of an act
justifes the above attack upon him
by the New York Times. The peo-
pie of Mississippi are fully aware of
this and counted it an honor to
make him their chief executive. 1t
is late in the day now to attempt to
make political capital out of this in
cident and the effort of the Times to
increase South hatred is not in keep
ing with broad or liberal-minded
policies.

less it is true, as we will show below.
