Fort Wayne, Ind, Dec. 26.-Edward
~ Wilson. president of the trustees
Of the Indiana School for Feeble
Minded Youth, now knows how it feels
to be a prisoner behind the bars. On
Saturday evening about O'Clock, while
alone n his business office downtown
he entered the barred gate Of the Of
fee vault and heard it "click" behind
him. He felt for his keys to reopen
it, but found he had left them on a
desk Just outside
Hope His Only Companion.
An incandescent globe was his only
companion, and by the light Of this
he could see the keys, but could not
reach them. he called for help, but
his voice would not pass through
walls or plate glass and attract the
attention Of pedestrians passing He
yelled with all his lung capacity, but
his only reward was the sound of his
own voice. In the meantime his wife
and children were waiting his return
to eat dinner. He had no chair and
could only grasp the bars and hope
for his partner or some clerk to APP
pear. The desk phone, not far away,
rang, but he could not reach It. An
other twelve inches of arm would have
given him his keys, but his arm would
not rubber"
But They Both "Got Out
Finally he devised a scheme of at
tracing attention by swinging the in
candescent lamp on its suspended
wire The swaying motion finally
caught somebody's eye, and Wilson
beckoned him in. It required only a
moment for release after more than an
hours unwilling detention in an i'm
promptu prison for no offense Wilson
was, of course, anxious to get out, but
he impressed on his rescuer that he
did not wish the story to get out.

CURED to handle the increased traffic
The action of the roads in inviting bids
for so many new cars causes consider
able comment, as a few weeks ago it
was announced that few freight cars
would be purchased during the COM
ing year. During the last few weeks
executive officials of the more import
ant lines have changed their opinions
on this matter and have decided that 1t
is absolutely necessary that more cars
be placed in service. An interesting
feature in this connection is that few
wooden cars Will be ordered. For the
last few years the railroads have been
gradually doing away with the wooden
cars and are ordering all steel cars.

In view of the fact that several MUIR
ders recently have resulted from the
presence of intoxicated men on trains,
and that the railroad companies in
some instances have been assessed
heavy damages. it is understood that
the Lake Erie s. Western and prob
ably other New York Central lines are
considering the adoption of a rule for
bidding the sale of tickets to drunken
persons Such a rule recently adopted
by the Pennsylvania has been found
to work well.
II the new edict goes forth station
agents will be forbidden to sell tick
cts to persons under the influence of
liquor and no one who is not sober
will be allowed upon a passenger
train. Conductors will receive in
structions to eject at the first stop all
who indulge IN intoxicating liquors on

NAY Y.

Hon. Earl Brewer spoke at Green
wood Monday night. Inasmuch as
Greenwood was the scene of the Hon.
Chas. Scott's announcement of him,
there was much speculation as to his
speech. He had invited Mr.. Scott to
meet him there and had rendered that
gentleman an equal division of time
but he was conspicuous by his alb
scence. While we we're not present,
we are in receipt of a letter from a
gentleman who was there stating
that Mr.. Brewer had splendid audi
ence and that a vast majority of the
audience shook his hand and con-
graduated him on his speech upon its
conclusion. 1t looks like Scott is go

Hearst is making a wonderful cam

occupies unique position in politics
and if he is elected it will be a tri-
umph for the new element in politics

fairs for these many years. A great
number Of the prominent democrats

to emigrate into the land of promise
where they expect to enjoy social as
well as political equality. They will
spread over the Northland as the
Huns and Goths and Vandals did over
the Roman Empire. They will seek
only peace and quiet, as did the an
cient invaders who spread over the
dominions of ancient Rome. 1t was
only after they had become establish
ed that they began to make trouble.
But the negroes in the North would
not assemble in one place. They would
diSperse themselves over the country,
the largest number flocking to the
towns and cities, and doubtless some
measures would be taken to secure
distribution.
Under the peaceful conditions
which exists the negroes are constant.
ly moving nOrthward. They are al
ready numerous enough in several
Northern States to influence political
affairs. At Philadelphia within a
week the negroes mobbed theatre
and broke up a performance. They
afterwards had enfiuence enough to
secure from the Mayor complete
prohibition of any presentation of the
play. That there is steady and con-
stant gravitation OF negroes north
ward, is well known, and in case OF
any extensive and general race trouble
in the South they would depart in
such numbers that millions Of them
would soon be established there.
The talk Of creating several negro
states in the South is absurd. Who
is to do it? Will there be another
sectional war to force the South to
keep the negroes? The idea is pre-
pUsterOuS. There is room for many
millions of negroes in the North. The
North Atlantic, the North Central
and the Western division of the Union
contains two million square miles of
territory with only 81, 900, 900 Of pop
ulatiOn, or seventeen to the square
mile. 1t is plain that ten million
negroes would not crowd the North,
but then there would be a steady and
constant flow of white population
from the North to the South to share
in the vast advantages and rich re-
sources to be developed in the South.
1t is strange that the sO-called
Northern philanthropiStS mingle so
little common sense with their elo-
quence. The promised land of the
negroes is north of the Ohio and Po-
tOmac and northwest of the MiSSiSSip-
pi rivers. Any but Self-binded fa-
naticS can see that.-New Orleans

THE HAND OF TIME.

Sometimes In our short-sightedness
we do not reckon with that old fellow,
Time. " We labor under the illusion
that the old world is going to always
remain just where it is today. We
are happy, and we say we shall laugh
always. We are sad and we imagine
that our eyes are to be ever filled with
tears.
1t is just as reasonable to suppose
that the sun will never again shine in
the heavens that are today o'ershad-
owed with clouds.
You are family man, and you say
this is my wife, this is my little boy,
and this is my baby daughter. Pres

ing tea, the boy, now college bred,
stands shoulders above you and the
daughter brings her children to call
you grandpa" +"
Here is the place where once you
went to school. The old building
stands practically the same and the
grass s-tramped playground is just as
of yore. Your heart thrills bit as
you draw near the spot where you
played "pull-a-way" and marbles, but
the thrill gives way to a touch of sad
ness. The same old calls meet your
ears, but the ruddy faces are of an
other generation, and from them
comes no look Of recognition. You
are Stranger-an unknown old man
just SLch one as you hOOted at with
the other lads but few days ago.
And the old neighborhood. What
a pathetic part Of its old self. The
house that once rang with laughter
and song is as still as the tomb. The
pathway is OvergrOwn with weeds,
and the dOor-sill has settled from the
lack OF use. The heart is too sad TO
linger there, and you knock at the
home across the way where once dwelt
a girl in checkered pinafore, who used
to seem to you the sweetest vision in
all the world. A child comes to the
door only to run frightened away to
it's mother, who stands shading her
eyes toward you in a most uncomfOrt-
able fashion. You don't visit long.
The mother is too absorbed in getting
supper for Tom who used to sit across
the aisle from you in school, when you
both wore baby waists.

BREWER IN JACKSON.

Hon. Earl Brewer delivered an ad
dress to large audience i'm the court
house at Jackson on Tuesday night.
He was introduced by Judge Robert
Powell in the following language:
Fellow Citizens:
| l Shall not present to you tonight
one Of the pampered sons Of fortune,
but rather one who had the duties of
manhood thrust upon him while yet a
beardlesS boy. One who, unaided by
wealth or influence, has carved out
his own destiny with his bare hands
in the sweat OF his brow. | shall pre-
sent to you man who in every walk
and avocation has met the duties of
life manfully and courageously and
performed them to the satisfaction of
his people. | shall present to you a
man unsupported by clique or clan,
and who, if elected governor OF this
great commonwealth, will have no
kitchen cabinet behind him to dictate
his appointments. A man who is not
the favOrite of the railroads, not the
pet OF corporate greed, for he belives
in equal rights to all and special pri-
vilegeS to nUne, but who looks alone
for support to the great disinterest ed
mass Of the people. With 10 import
ant friends to reward and no enemies
to punish he can and will, il elected,
be the governor Of the entire people.
1t seems to me that at this time
above all others when the dawn uf a
better day is breaking over MiSSiSSip-
pi, we should select our standard bear
er, some young man, with the dew 0f !
morning on his brow and fresh aspir-
ationS and hopes in bis heart. be- ,,

man l present, if elected, will go into ,
the office of chief executive with
clean hands and pure conscience and
with a heart that beats alone for the |

vancement Of our beloved state.

ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.

The regular Congressional election
will be held next Tuesday throughout
the country. In Mississippi in addi-
tion to voting for Congressman, the
voters will have an opportunity to
vote on a constitutional amendment
which seeks to limit the power of the
Legislature to vote away the peoples
money. The amendment should be
ratified and let every voter remember
that failure to vote is a vote against
the amendment. Every possible bride
should be put on the legislature to
prevent extravagance, hence we say
that every citizen is interested in the
adoption of the amendment. Below

FOOLISH ELOOUENCE OF BLINDED
PHlLANTHROPISTS.

If the Northern philanthropiStS, as
they love to be styled, who are con-
Stantly engaged in stirring up the
negroes to aggression and violence
against the whites. could only fOreSee
that the Northern States are to be
uverrun by hOrdeS OF negroes from the
South as the result Of their miSchiev-
Gus agitation, they would not be SO
eager to see race trouble in the South
and SO active in stirring it up.
They are doing all in their power to
create race conflicts in the Southern
States, and they congratulate them
selves i'm the belief that the trouble
will be confined to the South, and
that while there may be great deal
of bloodshed, the Northern people will
only hear Of it through the neWSpa-
pers, but will be free from any dis
turbance.
Some of that sort OF fool paradise
talk was INDUCED in on Thursday at
Oberlin, OHIO, by Rev. Washington
GLADDEN., D. D., an Ohio clergyman.
DR.. GLADDEN., in the course OF an ad-
dress at a missionary anniversary,
found some excuse to deliver himself
of the Southern question. Among
other things he said:
ITO keep four million in slavery
who we're born and reared in that con-
dition was one thing; to reduce nine
million to SerfdOm after they have
been fifty years free is quite another
thing.
Senator Tillman'S prediction that
race struggles of bitter nature are
likely to be frequent and continuous
in the futnre is not without probabil-
ity. I can see no other outcome OF
strife of this nature but the segreea-
tion Of the races. A portion OF the
Southern domain would have to be
set apart to the blacks. We should
probably have three or four states Of
which the population would be who'll
ly composed of negroes governing
themselves and represented in the
Congress at Washington. The blacks
would suffer by being thrown on their
own resources in their poverty; it
would take them several generations
to work out the problem OF civiliza-
tion. To the whites the prosperity
10 which they are now rejoicing would
suffer severe, perhaps deadly blow.
''It is idiotic to talk Of deporting
the negroes to some other country;
they are here and here they must
stay, and their home will be in the
Southern portion of the United
States"
This profit of evil to the South
does not seem to understand that the
result of the conflict which he is as
sisting to stir up will result in driv-
ing millions of negroes into the North
ern States. Being citizens of the
United States, they have every right
The Grenada sentinel., 1906-11-03

1t is to the interest of our people
that large vote be pOlled in our Con-
gressional elections. The Republican
party makes much ado about the
small vote that elects a Congressman
in the South and frequently urges
that as a reason for cutting down the
SOuth'S representation. Hence it be-
hooveS our people to GO to the polls.
