PROTECT THE BIRDS
An Appeal Issued to the SpOrtsmen Of
Mississippi.

Sportsmen on hunting trips are in the
habit of shooting birds that can in no
sense be considered game. simply for
practice. 1t is undoubtedly fact that
large numbers of red birds, jay birds,
fickers, sap suckers, wood peckers,
thrushcs, black birds, cat birds, bullbats
and birds Of like character arc destroyed
every year. without considering the
aesthetic side of the question, such
birds should not be killed. From an
economic standpoint they are of great
value to the public in the way OF worm
and insect destroyers. 1t is said that a
drove of bull bats are of more value to
a malaria district than grove of quin-
inc trees, for the simple fact that in the
spring and summer their diet consists
principally of mosquitoes. And to kill
these valuable servants for practice in
shooting is practice that no true
sportsman will engage in. Let us hope
that it is the result of thoughtlcssness.
This appeal is made to the sportsmcn of
Mississippi to ask them to consider the
great value of the non-game birds and
it is believed that they will not only
abstain from killing such birds but will
preach the gospel OF protection at all
times. THEO. SCIMlTT,

COTTON EXCHANGE
TO ERECT HOME
Handsome TwO- Story Brick On the
River Front.
CONTRACT SOON TO BE LET
Bull ding VIII be a Handsome Structure
Which Would Do Credit to
Any City.

Mr.. T. A. Gleason announces that he
will in few days let the contract for a
handsome tNo-story brick and stone
bailding to be occupied By the Green
wood Cotton Exchange. The structure
will be located on the river front, be-
tween tho Offices of Judge S. r. Cole
man and Mr.. p. A. Malone. The new
building will be modern in every par
ticular, metal cciled and elegantly fur
nished throughout. A concrete pave
mont will extend along the entire front.
The Cotton Exchange has contracted
for the wire service of Mcssrs. Joseph
Newburger & Co., members Of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, New York
Cotton Exchange, Chicago Board OF
Trade and Greenwood Cotton Exchange.
Their correspondents are: II. q B. Beer,
New Orleans; Miller & Co., New York;
Beer-Comell & Co., Liyerpool; and Beer
Darlington & Co., Chicago.
The Office will be in charge of Mr..
T. j. Gouldman, who promises that the
service will be second to no city in the
country.
The new building will be the hand
soonest structure of its kind in the State
"a credit to the local exchange and to
the city of Greenwood, which is now
the second largest cotton market in
Mississippi.

the consummation of that wish, is
for the State TO take matters in hand
ignore the abuse and criticism of the
ignorant tine-seryerS of both the
North and South, and give to the
negro that which the negro needs
Educate his heart and his hands,
give him, if possible, a moral basis
to build upon, and you will thereby
help the negro and the State also.
There is a great deal of common
sense in what the Governor of Mis-
sissippi says. The greatest need of
the negro is to be educated in hab-
its of industry and in the knowledge
how best to employ his faculties, 1t
is doubtful if any negro who knows
how to read and write ever works al
and steady, laborious employment.
So far from ' 0rking in the cane or
cotton fela at any heavy muscu-
lar exertion, tIis work is reserved
for the illiterate negroes and for
white men who can read and write
Education makes little difference
to the white man whose condition
compels him to labor, but it puts
the negro above such work. He
seeks the position of porter in stores
and offices or in some light employ
ment, as that Of waiter and the like.
A negro with a top or college
education probably has never per-
formed any muscular labor since
they were any such. Now, since
there is a vast deal of serious labor,
or muscular work to be done, and
there always will be such, it is fair
to assume from past experience that
when there shall be no longer an
iliterate negro in the south all the
heavy work will have to be done by
whites, and not D negro laborer will
be found in any field Of muscular
work.
The figures Of the census show
that in the year 1870, sixty per cent.
Of the cotton. was made by negro
labor, and forty per cent. by white
labor Now conditions are reversed,

VARDAMAN'S ACTION
y ;. is II HIGHLY COMMENDED

and while the whites make sixty
per cent, negroes only make forty
per cent Of the cotton. The expert
ence is that while it may be just
and right to give the negroes the
indispensable elements Of an educa-
ton, any system of higher instruc-
ton does not promote their moral
and industrial value.
Many public men think with Gov.
Vardaman, but they fail to express
their thoughts, for fear they will
suffer in the opinion of northern
critics Southern men ought to
know by this time that the only way
to find favor with such criticism, is
To turn against their own princi-
pies and people. The price is too
high, and in this connection the
Louisiana white Republicans, who
have declared for white supremacy
in public affairs, are more worthy of
praise than are the alleged Southern
Democrats who deny their real SEN
timents on race questions, in order
to curry an unproductive and worth
less favor with a certain class Of
Northern critics.-N ew Orleans

, Governor Vardaman, Of Missis'
sippi, has expressed his disapproba.
ton of the policy Of furnishing. al
the public cost, the higher education
to negroes, by vetoing an appropria-
ton passed by the State Legislature
for the support of normal school
for negroes.
Governor Vardaman, in the course
of his veto message, said:
o. Literary education-the
knowledge of books-does not seem
to produce any good, substantial re-
suits with the negro, but serves
rather to sharpen his cunning,
breeds hope that cannot be full
filled, inspires aspirations that can
not be gratifed, creates an inclina-
ton to avoid honest labor, promotes
Incidence, and in turn leads to
crime. This is the true story Of the
life of the average negro, the cor
rectness of which will hardly be
questioned by an observant student
of the subject" d"
The community in which the
State Normal school" is located,
will, if desired, furnish abundant
proof along that line. Mississippi
has been, and is, indeed kind 10 her
negro citizens. No people on earth
have ever had as much done for
them by their government to which
they have contributed so little of
material help, and moral worth, as
the negroes of Mississippi. The
public schools throughout the State
run for four months and in the
Delta counties, where the negroes
live in large numbers, the schools
run from five to seven months,
atfordlng superior school facilities
for the negroes to those enjoyed by
the white children who live in the
more sparsely settled hill counties

Gov. Smiths Message.

Upon the organization of the General As
sembly on Wednesday Gov. Smith Submitted
his second and last biennial message. Il Is
essentially business document, presenting IN
some detail the condition of affairs, and CON
tains but few recommendations. The Gov.
ernor avoided suggestions and recommends
tons, because be will soon give up the reins
of government to his successor, and cannot
cooperate with the Legislature IN carrying
them out.
The financial condition Of the State is one
of the interesting parts Of the message. The
Governor shows that during his term OF othce
the sinking funds have been augmented to
the amount Of 81 1868, 93s.72 and the State
debt decreased by S27l ,338.72, notwithstand-
ing a decrease in the State tax rate to II cents
on the 500, aud the issuance of bonds for
public buildings 10 the extent OF Sl,aOO,OO
All OF these bonds were taken into the sinking
funds, except SIS. 200. which were invested as
an endowment of Maryland Agricultural Col
lege. The reduction in the State tax rate re.
mitted Sl66, 600 TO ax.payers, and the Gov
ernor observes that notwithstanding this and
the extraordinary expenses of the State upon
public buildings, the public debts practically
nothing, as the premium on the bonds IN the
sinking funds, could they be sold for their
real value, would extinguish all Indebtedness.
The Governor favors liberality 10 schools,
increase pay for teachers, additional appro
nr;ation for pensions for teachers and better
public roads.

Roosevelt's Defense.

President Roosevelt sent a special message
to the Senate last Monday regarding Panama.
1t is quite lengthy and in the main is defense
of his course regarding the secession of Pana-
ma and the hasty recognition Of the seeding
State and his answer to his critics in and out
of the Senate. Mr.. Roosevelt has doubtless
satisfied himself that his course in the matter
was proper and in accordance with duty and
precedent but he will not convince all the
people that it was He admits this govern
ment had intmations of revolution in Pana-
ma and that he had warships close at hand,
which were ordered at once to Panama
waters This, he says, was done to keep open
the railroad across the isthmus of Panama.
We have treaty powers to do this, and if our
warships and marines had stopped at that,
there would have been no critiscsm. But
the warships were sent beyond the coast OF
the twenty mile strip we have the power TO
protect, and for the purpose OF preventing the
Colombia government from landing troops in
Panama. Extra marines, in addition to those
on the strong naval fleets on both sides of
Panama, have been sent to Panama, and it IS
quite certain but for the protection given
Panama by the United States, Colombia
would have undertaken to assert her authority
over Panama. As to her success III the un,
dertaking, it may be judged from the fact that
Colombia is in possession of some war shlps
and transports, while Panama has none. and
that the population of Colombia is about 4,
500, 600 while that Of Panama is only about
100000.
The Presidents defense of the hasty recog-
milton of Panama, is very weak. When re-
coguition was extended there was no organized
government in Panama
The President should have come out boldly
and said that might makes right when the
purposes of this government are to be sub
served. Just as We have shown in the turcibie
annexation Of the Philippines, which Pre>i
dent Mckinley once said would BE- criminal
aggression. and in the taking of Porto Rico
from Spain, after Congress declared TO the
world that in declaring war upon Spait this
government had no purpose Of territorial az
