On July 90, the Confederate
veterans of Amite county are to
have a grand reunion. DR.. w.
I. Boiling, of Memphis, Tenn,
one of the finest ators Of the
South, will be the speaker of the
occasion. Extensive preparations
are being made by the people Of
Gloster to give the old Vets q
good time.
We were pleased to learn Mon
day that Mr.. j. f. Galbreath, who
is In New Orleans under treat
ment for cancer on his head, is
considerably better and is expect
ed home sometime during this
week.
Mr.. Frank Hemphill, of Bonus
neighborhood, came in the office
last week and presented to us the
only cotton boil we have seen this
season. The boil is nearly full
grown and is judged that at least
ten days more on the stalk it
would have opened.
Harry Douyille, a timber buyer

Ole Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned. Il
The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seed for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t
is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1t costs but few cents, and bottle
of it often saves a doctors bill of
several dollars. For sale by c. E.

AS a specimen TO curious logic, the
following from one of William r. Cur
It's letters is inimitable:
LAS a rule. every southern man
takes his teddy, either at his CLUB, IN
Iii; own dining room or with his trleno
but at the same time he is PRONE
Zionist SO far as the sale of liquor Is
concerned. because he realizes taa'
drinking demoralizes the Afro-Amerl
can and the poor white class ana Is
the chief cause of crime"
l. will be observed that the popula
ton of the South, according to this
eminent ethnologist, is divided lnto
three classes: the "Southern ran,
the Afro-American and the Poor Whlte
class. And there is such an essentia'
difference in the makeup OF these oil
ferent classes that the taking OF MS
toady, which elevates and ennobles the
"Southern man" demoralizes the QUE
crs who are not rated as OF the genus
man. This is certainly curious con
dition of affairs-but the South IS
curious country and Nj. Curtis a Gu
rious philosopher.

When Judge Dunno was elected May
or of Chicago, there was great exu1ta.
ton over the country and wonderful
anticipation Of an era of prosperity, TO
be brought about by craftsmanship
and good management. But that era
has failed to appear and Chicago has
been plunged into condition of anar'
chy, while the man from whom SO
much was expected has been exhibited
as either an inert imbecile or figure
head whose hands are tied by ante
election pledges. Of these two suppo.
sitions. tie latter is by far the more
probable. Thus one more proof is 40

We wonder if the millennium is at
hard? For the first time in the his
tory of criminal jurisprudence in the
entire South, the supreme court OF
Mississippi has sentenced a white
man to serve a life term in the penl-
tentiary for committing a criminal as
saul: or an Afro-A1nerican girl. The
case in question is that OF Hammond
Dickey VS.. State, from the circuit court
CT Ccaloma county and the decision
IS given added significance by reason
OF the fact that the case comes on
a2Deal from the heart of the black
belt OF the state, the famous 4azoo
; Mississippi delta. Dickeys victim
was a little 1O-year-old girl, and every
element OF the crime was fully estao-
lisred, except the want of consent OF
the prosecutrix, and the jury accepted
Ter statement and gave it full weight
notwithstanding the denial Of the &C.
cUsod.
Scores of Innocent black men have
been lvncned for rapes they never
committed and while thousands OF
white men have debauched and out
ragged Afro-American women this is
the first instance where one has Deen
in any wise adequately punished.

SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1905.
LABOR IN The SOUTH.

1t appears to be fact attested by
many witnesses that the SOuth-Afro,
American is not "a-longin' fur de ole
plantation like he used to be; and the
consequence is that the Southern
planter is often short of reliable labor.
This notable fact has attracted the at
tention of the sapient editors and they
are boldly attempting to prescribe the
proper remedy. AS samples, we may
mention that a Southern editor makes
the following proposition:
making g discretionary term of in,-
prisonment the penalty for such
breaches and the consistent enforce
nlent Of such provision for two Or
three seasons would soon teach this
floating, shiftless element to regard
their obligations with greater respect
ard remove one of the very present
menaCes to the businesslike manage
ment Of our agricultural interests
In some parts of the South, the laws
of the United States are matters of
so little Importance that the fact Of
an editor being profoundly ignorant
OF them. does not disqualify him for
following his profession. The South
ern editor does not seem to know that
tic pan he proposes would simply be
the establishment of peOnage and
that the Supreme Court has already
ripped that plan up the back. SO the
Northern editor comes to the relief of
his Southern brother, with this su5ges-
ton: 1.-THE true course to follow, III
our opinion, would be to encourage i'm
migration. Agents should be employ
ed in the North and at the principal
Eastern ports charged with the duty OF
attracting laborers and settlers to the
South
The objection to this plan is that
the decent, reliable Immigrant. encOur-
aged to locate on a Southern planta-
ton, to live on a peck of meal and 4
few pounds of meat per week, and the
worthless class. would not work if To-
Gated there It is a fact attested by
our consular officers that the Europe
an countries have made this country
the dumping ground for their crimi-
inals and pauperS and use every avail
able means to keep their respectable
labo-ers at home. So we shall dis
miss both plans as visionary, and pro-
Rose one Of cur own. That is. let the
planters do away with the old planta-
ton system, in toto, and sell them out
in small lots to the labOrerS. Let
them cease to pass Jim Crow laws, and
SEGREGATION aets~ and grandfather
clauses and all the rest Of their devil
try and spend the rest Of their lives
in >cepenting for what they have al
ready done, and the South will be re-
deemed, regenerated and disenthralled.
That is the plan and the only plan.

Boy Had His Own Opinion.

A boy was holding candle for his
master, plumber, in Scottish town,
who was doing some repairs to a pipe
inside a dwelling house. The boy
carelessly held the candle too near
his masters head, and up went his
hair in a blaze. The master turned
around in rage, and said: "YOu

migrants We hope they will get a
full supply of the Russians who are
being dumped into this country, Con-
sui Diederich of Bremen thus de-
scribes the character Of these wor-
thies: ->.
"Since l entered upon my present
duties l have seen most of the GIL, 492
e-nigrants that passed through Bre-
men, but official candOr cOmpels me
to say that some of these Russian
refugees belonged to a.lower type than
I had ever seen. They impress one
as being more, or less physically and
mentally degenerates, unable and I'M
willing to do any but the cheapest kind
Of work, and by overstocking the Ia
Dor market they tend to reduce the
standard of living of the American
wage workers, and to increase the
army of the unemployed and discon-
tended as there seems but little prOba-
bIllty that such as these Will be up
lifted by our institutions and civilian
ton"
This description ought to convince
any reasonable man that the Russians
would be right at home in Mississippi.
Mississippi has no public schools OF
any account, and the Russians would
care nothing for that. By all means
let the Russians trek to Mississippi
and vote for Vardaman. Mississippi
will upIift thenl despite their being
physically and mentally degenerate.
