AN APOLOGY

1t is impossible to deny a feeling
Of relief and satisfaction at the out
come of the battle in the Korean
straits.
Detestation of Russian methods
seems to be universal in America. and
well-nigh universal over the earth.
This strange sentiment OF sympathy
with people alien in all things, even
in color, is justified by every man we
talk with, and every printed page
we read
Many of our own citizens have sui
fered individually from Russian ty-
ranny and oppression. and know, of
personal experienc, that the crimes
and cruelty of that nation are mat
ter Of fact.
The humiliation OF Russia will
scarcely End a sympathizer in all the
territory over which this paper goes.
The one bond Of sympathy be
tween our own people and those OF
the Gar is fundamental sameness OF
religious belief The Russians are
Christians America, also, as nation
is Christian. Even those Americans
who do not accept Christ as God, nor
worship Him, nevertheless accept
and live his teachings, which are
the foundation of our civilization, and
are, beyond question, worthy OF al
observance
A civilized nation IS a Christian ma
ton, simply from the fact that it
holds, as its legal creed. the sternly-
just laws of Moses, tempered with
the mercy of the Teacher of Gallilee.

homes last Thursday at Greenyille.

vile have an idea that the citizens
wear Overshoes from the end of one
year to another, and that the Missis-

the time, and when it rains people

case by any means. Greenville has

homes, hospitable chivalrous mea,

were so numerous that very little
business was attended to by the As

The meetings were characterized
by fine spirit of unity and harmony,
and really II should never be other
wise when these brcthrel OF the press

OUR NAVIGABLE RIVERS


Congressman Humphreys, of this
district, and Capt Gus c. Nelson
Ter, Supt. of the Sunhower Packet Co,
had a conference in Greenvllle on
Monday night on the proposed in
spection of the upper SunHower river
Arrangements had been made to
have Captain Hoffman, OF the u S.
Corps of Engineers, who is in charge
of this Improvement, to make the
trip up the SunAower with these gen
tlemen this week, but he was called
away on imperative business in the
East and will not return for two
weeks
After going over the situation fully,
it was agreed at the conference on
Monday night to postpone this in
spection trip until June Goth, when
Captain Hoffman will be able to be
with them
No work that Mr.. Humphreys has
done for his district is more appre-
ciated or will rebound more to his
own credit and the advantage of the
Delta than his interest in the fine
natural waterways with which the
country is so abundantly supplied.
1t is only within recent years that
attention has been directed to these

NEVER so WELL
TREATED BEFORE

The editor and wife returned home
last Friday afternoon from Green
Vile, truly the Queen City of the
Delta" where we spent three days
attending the Mississippi Press As
ISOLATION, it being the fortieth annual
convention attended by the editor OF
the "Old Reliable"
The attendance was fairly good:
many new members were enrolled
and considerable business of interest
to the craft was transacted. Peace
and harmony prevailed throughout
the session OF the convention. We
missed many of our brothers who
were with us sixteen years ago IT
Greenville. Prominent among the
charter members missing was our es-
teemed friend, Col J. l. Power, a
better and nobler gentleman never
lived He has passed over the river
to rest under the shade on the other
side. This leaves the writer the only
surviving charter member of the
Association
President Norwood's address was
an able and interesting paper. Many
essays and poems were read before
the convention, which showed deep
thought and culture of the authors.
To say that the association was
royalty entertained is putting it mild
ly. No place where we have held our
meetings have we been so we'll treat
ed as by the citizens of the beauti-
full city of Greenville Every one
seemed to vie with each other to
make our stay pleasant and enjoy
able To one and all we tender our
grateful thanks and wish them long
life and prosperity - Pascagoula

A curious and significant circum-
stance is related by Congressman b,
@. Humphreys, which IS another
proof of the progress which Is being
made by the campaign # education
in Southern conditions among stu
denSs and thinkers Of the North:
A short time ago Mr.. Humphreys
contributed to the Saturday Evening
Post, of Philadelphia, an impartial
but striking article on certain racial
characteristics Of the Southern ne
groes, and the effect of these charac-
teristics on social and industrial con
ditions.
Not long after the publication Of
the article he received a letter from 4
committee Of students of Drake Uni
versity, Iowa, reciting that they had
been selected to take the affirmative
IN debate on the following ques-
ton: Resolved, that the Southern
white people are justified in using
any means short Of violence, to main
tam white supremacy
The young mal represented ir
their letter that they were i'll I
hopeless minority That public SEN
timent was against them, and that
they were leading a forlorn hope
Having read Congressman Hum
phreys article in the Post, they ven
tured to appeal to him for help il
their dilemma, asking him to furnish
any suggestions, or cite them to any
authorities which would enable then
10 contend against the tide of adverse
sentiment
Mr. Humphreys replied at once
giving the young men his own views
with instances from his experienc,
and observation, and citing them Il
certain works OF others on the sub
ject
A few days ago he received a sec
ond letter from the Drake Univetsit,
Debating Class, announcing will
many thanks and much jubilatior
that they had used his advice and ar
guments and won their cause.
Thus, by the application of fev
truths patent to the South, but 9
which the mass of Northern peopl
are in ignorance, these young me-
were not only converted themselve:
but carried with them an audienc
which had been at first not only op
posed, but hostile to their side of tn
question.

The attendance was not quite up
