The Mississippi Theological & In.
duStrial College located in this city,
for which we have been raising money
for five years. is now in course OF cree.
ti0n. The old brick building on the
ground has been taken down, and the
foundation for new brick building is
now being laid. The building, when
completed, will cost S25, 600 We
have bought and paid for one hun
dred and ten acres of land at cost Of
five thousand three hundred and fifty
dollars
The object OF this Institution is to
train the colored youths.
1st-Literary Training, fitting
them for the literary pursuits of life,
as no one should attempt to Ubtrude
into the literary phase of life without
thorough preparation.
2nd Moral Training-No race of
people ever rises in the scale OF civili-
zltion without The highest regard for
their moral life. Social and civic yir-
tues exist in proportion to the moral
training Of a race.
3rd Religious Training lies at the
foundation Of our literary. moral, So
cial and civic life Indeed the relig-
ious training of a people should be so
thorough that it will be eXemplitied
in every phase of life.
LABOR
4 term aptly representing every
phase of material life. The old Jew
ish maxim, the parent that fails to
teach his child useful handcraft
teaches him to steal. So, in develop
ing this Institution, we want to in
clude the following forms Of labor:
Carpentry, BlackSmithing, Harness
making, Shoemaking, Carriage and
Wagon making, Machinery, Garden
ing, Agriculture and every form of in
duStrial life.
We appeal to the citizens of Holly
Springs to aid in this worthy enter
prise. We have raised nearly S25, 900
for this work, and only S662.50 from
white people. Now, if it is right to
help those who strive to help them
selves, we have claim on the white
people. We are in need of $4,000 at
once to further prosecute this work,
and shall canvass the city the ensuing
week. We desire those who have
subscribed tomake payment on their
at once. Help! Help.

by discourse on Sunday Schools by

underbrush had been cleared away and
substantial tables made of rough

RACE RIOT IN
NEW YORK CITY
New York Tribune Says The Ne.
gro Is Far Better Off In
The South.

AS the reading public knows, there
was race riot in New York City on
Friday night, the 18th. The New
York Tribune. perhaps the best edited
and the strongest Republican paper in
the country. and one that has delight
ed to criticiSe the South in its hand
ling of the delicate problems growing
out of its dealings with the sons of
Ham, seems to have seen a new light
and begins to realize that the practi-
cal side of this matter is quite differ
ent from the theoretical. Like con-
ditionS, produce largely the same re-
suits, whether in the North or in the
South.
"We are giving TO criticiSing the
lawleSSneSS which in Southern COM
munitieS leads to race vendettaS and
wholesale lynchingS, but in the South
such outbreaks usually follow some
fragrant crime and aim at furnishing
known or suspected criminals. Inl
Fridays disturbance this excuse us Il
resort to violence was wholly lacking.
On trivial grounds, or without any
grounds at all, whites attacked blacks
and blacks attacked whites. Both
classes seemed to have acted on the
mereSt impulse of race prejudice and
race rancOr.
1t is our duty to condemn the spirit |
thus shown even more pOintedly than |
we have condemned the spirit which |
underlieS the South'S summary treat /
ment of its negro criminals. The ne
gro in New York is not free from
blame. Undoubtedly, by his own
vicious and disorderly conduct he often
invites the hostility of his white
neighborS. But the negro is here as
weak, and to some extent, an OStra-
ciSed element in our population. He
is the under dog" in our industrial
as well as in our social system. 1t is,
therefore, all the more important
that we should give him Il square
DEAL We shoTid not put respect
able blacks and criminal blacks on the
same level. We should set the exam
pie which we urge on the South of
the good Negro, while +
the bad ones. Least OF
all. should we put in practice the theo-
in every race war-that
a man is to be Judged. not by his in
dividual conduct. but by the color of
his skin, be it white, black or yellow.
Beyond doubt, the condition OF the
negro who settles in New York is any
thing but encouraging. The necessity
of living in colonies, and OF thus being
brought aS a mass in contact with
neighborS who are far from welc0m-
ing such an association, and who are
of the lower order Of whites,
vicious and diSOrderly, invites lace
while the closing of 50 many
fields of labor makes industrial pro-
greSS difficult. Frankly. the negro is ..
far better off in the South, where
labor conditions suit him, and he is
factor in the labor market.
But. if he comes here in spite of these |
his lot should not j
in Justice be made harder by sub t
jecting him to the terrOrS Of race t
