EMANCIPATION DAY.

The negroes Of southwest Rank
met at New Hope Baptist church, near
Monterey, Miss, to celebrate enamel
patton day. Once year we meet to
honor the day on which we were
freed from the yoke of slavery.
The weather was inclement, but
the people turned out anyway. There
were between four and five hundred
present.
Judge A. G. Norrell, Of Plain, was
the orator Of the day, and the judge
was eminently equal to the task. When
the writer noted the arrival of Judge
Eorrell and Esq. O. W. Allison a
committee was arranged to escort the
distinguished guests into the church
where the plan Of the day was being
carried out. When Rev. L. j. Jones
entered the church with the visiting
guests, the writer met them in the
aisle. A hearty handshake and seat
was given them. At the signal of the
writer the large congregation rose to

his bad habits or quit the employment

And thus does the strenuous re-

A man may pooh pooh sentiments

DECENCY AND CASH.

THE MIGHT OF MANHOOD.

Manhood is the bottom fact. We
may build great navies, but their eff
cheney is no greater than that of the
commander, the gunner, the man in
the stokehole. We may construct
complicated systems of laws, but they
are utterly invalid unless the strength
of manhood is behind them. The OBJ
solete, hindering enactments are those
which seek to create a paper manhood,
worth no more than last years hor-
nets nest. We lead the world in in.
dustries because we have workingmen
who are men as we'll as workers.
In the high place and in the low
it is manhood that counts. 1t is
what everyone with great experience
of the world comes to prize most
highly, because it does not fail him.
When the eye has ranged over life
long enough to detect its sbams, when
the ear has been trained to detect the
accents of the fakir from those Of the
prophet, when men have gone long
journeys and made great searches for
life's secrets, they usually return
upon the personal equation. To find
a man with manly qualities is to dis
cover great nugget - Seattle Post

BUSINESS VIEW OF THE DRINK
QUESTION,

Gradually but most surely the lines
are being drawn against the use of
Intoxicating drinks in this country.
1t is not morbid, fanatical wave,
but reasoning, cool, calculating de-
termination by men of affairs that
liquor and business cannot mix sue
cessfully. 1t is probably true today
that in the majority of large manu-
featuring and commercial establish
ments there is an unwritten law
which precludes the dram drinker
from high attachments which would
otherwise be possible. For the Ieasen
that the habit renders the individua
unreliable, irritable and reckless
three weaknesses which are not de-
sired in those who are to lead in i'm
portant affairs. Tho regulation and
prohibition of drinking has become SO
important a consideration that the
best organized railroad companies to-
day have rules to govern their en-
ployees in this respect only
during the time they are at work, but
in their idle hours. The logic of
this is that the employee who drinks
to excess while "off'' duty will not
be in condition to perform his best
work on account of the latter eff
fects.' Consequently 1t is noticed
that corporations are coming to con-
slider that they have the right to de-
mand temperate living on the part of
their employees, even when the latter
are not in actual service. While
men naturally resent restrictions
which interfere with their so-called
personal liberty it is probably
true that many who labor for salaries
or wages find their bank accounts in
creased and their families better
clothed and fed as the result of rules
which assist in developing their best
manhood A recent report states that
a certain railroad company discharged
large number of employees for
violation of rules relating to the use
of Intoxicating drinks. The lists dis
charged included engineers, firemen,
yard masters, track foremen, and
members of an engineering corps.
This is but one illustration of the
modern temperance idea. Men with
cool, clear heads, steady nerves and
sound Judgement are wanted in the
positions of trust and responsibility

THE TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.

The state of Texas is mourning and
ashamed because Of red murder stains
that whiskey has spread upon her es-
cutcheon.
Texas shudders today at the sight of
her dead. Yet this shed blood is but

shedding; and not hers alone, but that

end? Will this rum blot upon our
fair standard have to be stepped in
