We often hear the expression
HE is Vardamans' candidate, "
HE is Williams candidate" OF
''He is McLaurin's candidate
all of which is ridiculous il a
person will only stop to think.
The time was when Ring Rule
had Mississippi in it's clutches
this was the days of conventions
but the primary election has re-
legated the political boss to the
rear. Every man has some in
fluence, some more than others,
but no man or clan can dictate to
the voters how they shall vote.
Every candidate must stand on
his own merits and let the voters
decide as to his fitness for the
position to which he aspires

With four assaults upon white
women within twenty four hours
the officials of the city of Atlanta
found it impossible to restraine
the white people and a race riot
followed. The usual result is
reported and the brutes who
made the assaults cannot now
be found to tell the tale of their
crimes. Atlanta is a city of 100,
900 people, with 10000 of these
black. There ha. been a great
political fight on in the state and
one of the issues has been the
question of restricting the ILL
terate vote by the one side, and
that of permitting the illiterates,
mostly negroes, to continue to
play a part in the political affairs
of the state. The ignorant ne
gro believing that those who
took the position that he should
be kept in political affairs OF
the state. The ignorant negro
believing that those who took
the position that he should be
kept in politics meant to grant
him license instead of liberty,
grew insolent and bold.H The
assault brought out the whites
en- masse and a dozen dead dar-
kies is the result. The matter
of a riot is a serious one, no mat
ter what the provocation, yet
the people of Atlanta cannot be
sensured. The same thing would
occur in everp Southern com.

the south will come a justifica-
ton of what was done in Atlanta,

Letter From Professor Hunt.

Editor Journal
Kindly allow me space for q
few words to our supervisors and
to our school teachers. At the
meeting for institute conductors
held at our A. & M. College this
summer, DR.. T. P. Bailey, of our
State University, offered to out
line a course of reading for the
teachers of the state in order
that the teaching profession may
be elevated and the people bene-
flied thereby. provided that ne
could get enough of the county
teachers associations to agree to
read said course when outlined.
Two or three of US from Lee
county agreed to urge the teach
ers of our association to do the
reading. Hence, my object in
writing. DR.. Bailey has outlined
this course in the September
number of the Mississippi School
Journal where all our teachers
may find it.
Now, as to the value Of a course
of reading for our teachers, l
think this cannot be overestima-
ted. Possibly I should be safe in
saving that not one-half of the
teachers in the county have ever
rood hook IN the theory of
