THE BOY OF THE PAST.

The ClarkSdale Reporter wants tt
know, what has become of the ole
fashioned boy with chapped face and
hands-who wore a red wOolen com.
fortor around his neck and had warts
on his thumb? Twenty years ago you
met him on every hand. He wore
copper-toed boots, and could walk all
day and never grow tired. knew every
rabbit Path and was acquainted with
every birds nest and swimming hole
within a radius of five miles. In the
summer time he sat on the green car
peted earth and drank in the katy
dds musical drumming, caught craw-
fish in the creeks and smoked acorn
pipes. In the spring he manufactured
willow whistles when the sap came,
and sucked sugar water through elder
stems in some unprotected camp-hiS
stolen sweets. With the first flame
of autumn he hunted up battered
arithmetic, a dirty and well-thumb-
ed McGuffy's fourth reader and lacer-
ated Jog aphy' and started to school.
In the afternoon he carried up stacks
Of wood, at night read j. i'cnninOre
Cooper 5 Leather Stocking tales, and
on Saturdays hunted pawpaws, black
haWeS and hickory nuts. He had
queer old dreams in his head. Il box of
marbles with a "buck-eyc taW' in the
attic, and would never stand for ''fud-
ging" in keeps, The old fashioned
boy-God bless his guileless and inno-
cent rt.-entcrtained Il superb con-
tempt for girls, and never suspected
that they were made for anything to
tell on hing ''1,pen i some snnirky little
miss inducted him into life,s!s~eets
and destroyed his futures peace, or his
mother saw fit to school him. in the
gallantries due her SEX He loved his
nanny, respected his daddy, and had
an appitite like a mule. The old fash
ioned boy never lied, unless it was
necessary, had clear conscience and
could sleep as we'll as the average po-
liceman ON duty. But you never see
him any more. His successor is a
street gamin, perfumed and scented.
He is a cigarette tiend at eight, goes
into society at ten and at fifteen is d
Sated roue. He wears high collars,
has his shoes shined at the barber
shops, poisons his mind with immoral
pictures and books, and does many
other things that are evidences of type
decadence. How the soul yearns and
the eyes hunger for sight of the old
fashioned bOy-he with warts on his
thumbs, laugh like the bubble of a
spring on his lips and the happiness OF
innocence in his heart.

GRENADA, MISS, FEBRUARY ]3, 1904.
ROADS IN MISSISSIPPI.

The public highways in almost all
parts of the United States have been
sadly neglected, but in no state that
pretends to be progressive are they in
worse condition than in Mississippi,
and one of the most vital questions
before the legislature is that of their
improvement, says the Meridian Star.
This republic, il not the richest, is
almost the richest country on earth,
yet is has the poorest wagon roads of
any country in the world. This, more
than anything else, has retarded the
development of our vast and exhaust
less agricultural resources.
We have built in this country 2o4, 1873
miles of railroads, and thousands Of
miles Of trolley road. These railroads
and trolley lines have built up our
great cities, while the building of wag-
on roads for the development of our
rural district has been so sadly neg
lected. What we now need in all parts
Of the country, especially in Mississippi
pi, is to build good public highways.
In the few states that have good roads
farm values have improved as no where
else, because life is made pleasanter
and happier for the owner of the land.
Good roads enable his family to 90 to
church and school and have other So
cial advantages, which in counties
where we have bad roads, is confined
almost exclusively to the towns 1t
also enables him to get his produce to
market without SO much loss Of time,
to say nothing Of the loss in wear and
tear, and brea kage to his vehicles and
in damage to his stock. This is why
nice country homes, fine churches and
good schools are built in the rural
communities of sections that have
good roads.
We have in mississippi hundreds of
abandoned farms that are capable OF
producing twice as much as lands
worth 800 per acre in some comnu-
mites of the north and east where they
have good roads. For years people in
the rural districts have been selling
out their stock and farm implements
and abandoning farms that have yield
ed them an independent living, and
moving to town where they till posi-
tions from which they get a bare exis-
tence. They do this n~order to give
their children the advantages of
schools and chllrches dvaptages
which al people should have, and
which they cannot have in the coun-
try on account of bad roads. ..
II. we had good roads more people
would stay In the country, and many
now in our towns would 90 back to
the country and build nice country
homes, churches and schools. The
value OF our lands would be increased
and our rural communities would pros
per which would be to the advantage
Of our towns in the increase of trade.
The prospect OF 10 and IL cent. cot
ton and independency on the farm
would have more attractions for our
your men than a $50 clerkship and
dependency in town, and Mississippi
would prosper as never before.
We are glad to see public sentiment
throughout the state-the' people and
the press-aroused in regard to
this matter, and we hope the legisla-
ture will give us relief.

Hearst Preferred to Cochran.

AS between William r. Hearst and
Bourke Cochran for the ways and
means committee, the South will not
hesitate to indorse the former. Mr..
Hearst stands for the straight Demo-
cracy which this section has support
ed through thick and thin.
Mr.. Cochran has been in antagonism
at one time or another to every politi-
cal tenet cherished by the regulars.
He made himself especially obnoxious
to them in a speech delivered in the
Auditorium during the campaign of
1896, in which he charged that the
cause of the regular Democrats was
largely instigated and fought by un-
reconstructed shareholders, who, be-
fore the war, had paid no wages for
labor, and who since the war did not
desire to change the proposition. In
which he has engaged, so far as we
know, he demanded enormous pay for
his campaign speech. In other words,
he mas Deen merely a soldier OF pOlltl-
cal fortune ready to sell his great ora
torical gifts to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Hearst, on the other hand, has
always been true friend to the South
and an answering Democrat. He is,
indeed, a Democrat in the broadcast
and best sense OF the word, and one
Of the most powerful champions of
popular rights in the United States.
AS a matter of fact, there will be
little for the committee to do at this
session Of congress, but if there were
the South would have much more to
expect in the way OF substantial bene-
fits from the vote and influence of Mr..
Hearst than from MI. Cochran. From
every standpoint Of view, therefore,
it is certain that the South makes no
mistake in her preference of the for
mer to the latter.-Memphis News.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
President Alderman's Statement
Of the Position of the Whites
Fully Indorsed.

President Alderman of Tulane I'm
iversity, in welcoming the members of
the American HiStorial and Econom-
les Associations to this city, in an
able address, which was almost mon
umental for it's eloquence, liberality
Of principle, and noble sentiment, ex-
pressed the position OF the Southern
people on the race question with adj
,nirable precision. He said: ''The
tragic, fundamental fact in Southern
life is an economic fact-the presence
here in large numbers of the African
us a great economic factor There
has not been a moment in sixty years,
largely owning to his presence. that
the South has not pasSionately SUBJ
scribed to one of or three great polit-
ical dogmas or doctrines. We are, as
Il consequence. the sturdieSt political
snetaphysicians of our race. with a
capacity for political solidarity that is
almost distressing. For sixty years
he South stood ready to die, and did
die, for the doctrine Of State soverei-
Gnty. Today it would die even with
more amazing oneness for the doctrine
nf racial integrity or the separation of
the two races.
This does not mean race hatred,
If course, and there are reasons for
this, but the hest Southern per,ple not
only do not hate the negro. but come
nearer to having affection for him
than any other people on earth. and
they hold this faith in a spirit OF COM
mon sense and Justice and sympathy
and helpfulneSS to the black race.
They are too wise not to realize that
posterity will judge them according to
the wisdom they use in this great con-
cern. They are too just not to know
that there is but one thing to do with
a human being, and that thing is to
give him a chance, and that it is
solemn duty OF the white man to see
that the negro gets his chance in
everything save social equality and
political control.
THE Southern people believe with
their usual intensity that it is the du
ty Of civilization always to protect the
higher groups against the deteriorat-
ing influence Of the lower groups.
This does not mean that the lower
should not be prevented from rising,
but that it should not be permitted to
break down the higher. The improve
ment and progress of the backward
nations should all come by improving
the conditions of their own group, but
should never be permitted to come at
the expense Of the higher or more ad-
vanced group, nations or race. Social
equality or political control would
mean deterioration Of the advanced
group, and the South is serving the
nation when it says it shall not be so. -
This is the position of the South to-
day. There is no desire to prevent
the negro from enjoying every right
and in addition every privilege that is
compatible with the proper protection
of society and its institutions here.
He shall have opportunity for the best
results Of his talents and abilities.
He already enjoys them but he shall
not rule. That is fixed. The preser-
xatiOn of all that is best in our civili-
cations and moral social and spiritual
progress has established that law

Real EStdt6 Notes and TODi6S

Patiently real estate dealers have
waited for the arrival Of warm wealth
er to open the season for home buy
ing, and patiently they are still wait
ing. The past week has been no more
favorable than its predecessor and the
situation is little changed.
The records show real estate trans
ters to have been about the same in
number and amount as for the previous
week, the total being eighty, aggre-
eating a value of $90659 The larg-
est transfer involved property valued at
$4,000, being that Of a lot in block 10,
Summit Park addition. There was evil
dent, however, a slight increase in the
number Of inquiries and prospects.
Real estate mortgages were recorded
to the amount of $35.925 for the week.
Prospective purchasers of homes
should, before making investments, look
forward into the future a decade or
two, and compare prices asked for res
idence properties in different parts of
the city. An amazing disparity will be
found in prices of properties equal in
every way as to desirability. This fact
is, of course, we'll known, but the ex-
tent to which it is true is not SO
thoroughly realized
