A Constitutional Convention Not Needed

The suggestion TO hold Const'tu-
tional Convention for the purdose of adj
justing, or readjusting, the apportion
ment of representation in the Leg!sla-
ture is not meeting with much enthusi
astic support says a Jackson correspon-
dent of the Tines Democrat. 1t IA gem
orally agreed that South Mississippi Is
entitled to more representation than it
now has in both branses Of the Logisla-
ture, and it is agreed that speedy relief
should be given to that section; but
most of the papers commenting on the
subject rail to see why a Constitutional
Convention should be called for this
purpose when the Legislature can read
lily remedy it by submitting an amend.
ment to the people to be voted upon. 1t
is argued in the fr.t place that a Con
stitutionslConyentio proposition would
have to be submitted to the people in
any event, for them to say whether or
not the convention is necessary True,
the last convention was not submitted.
but there was much complaint against
the Legislature for failing to do so, and
the only reason that these complaints
were more general and pronounced was
because the negroes were then voters;
but this objection Is now removed 1t
il also true that ii would be much easier
to create a sentiment in the legislative
fight for new members in favor OF re-
appointment than it would be to create
a sentiment among them for Constitu
tional Convention.
Many objections are urged against a
Constitutional Convention. 1t is first Of
all urged that conYention is not neces
sary ;that a Constitutional Convention is
a most dangerous thing and should never
be convoked except in cases Of absolute
necessity. Once convened the power OF
the convention is absolute and supreme,
aud the most radical changes In the or
ganic law might be made upsetting the
present happy solution of the suffrage
plan and other great economic problems,
When the last convention was called
there was a deplorable condition of the
suffrage problem, which was growing
rapidly worse and threatening to bring
untold disaster upon the business inter
ests of the State. The negroes held the
majority in all elections, and it was
necessary to resort to intimidation. cor
ruption of kindred schemes to preserve
white supremacy. The convention was
called solely Ior this purpose, and the
suffrage scheme then framed by the
great George and other bright master
minds has stood the test of time, and
tYen stood the test of the Supreme
Court of the United States, as we'll as
the most vigorous attacks ST Republi
can Senators in Congress.
In conclusion it is pointed ont that
there is no reason why South Mississippi
should not be given areapportonment,
but that there are many reasons why the
State should hesitate before calling an
other Constitutional Convention before
the present one has been thoroughly
tested in all its parts.

NOxubee COunty's New Jail.

After one Of the most strenuous SEES
sions the Board Of Supervisors has ever
held the contract for the erection Of a
new Jail building was awarded to the
Pauly Jail Building Company Of Saint
Louis, Missouri, for the sum Of SIC 500.
1t will be remembered by those who
have followed the matter from its in
ception to the present time that the
question was first agitated at the Janu-
airy, 1906, meeting'of the Board when
the Clerk was directedt to advertise or
correspond with competent architects
for the purpose Of the adoption Of suit
able plans.
Mr. " S, Hull of Jackson Miss,
after several technicalities had been
overcome, was employed, and prepared
and submitted plans which we're adopt
ed by the Board and on which bids
were advertised for. At the meeting in
June the matter was postponed partly
through parliamentary point raised
byJ. E Sennett from District and on
the matter that there would be petitions
submitted against the building of the
Jail OF the next meeting.
The location Of the handsome struc-
ture will be the northeast corner Of the
courthouse yard where now stands the
old wooden building formerly used by
the hook and ladder company. The
Board has issued an order directing the
city authorities to have the old fire
house removed from the premises on or
before the first Monday in August.
a Jail, as has been stated in the Bea
con, is only place for the detention Of
those entrusted to the officers Of the law
and not place for punishment of those
therein confined. 1t is true that the
present antiquated structure that is
now IN use IS a place that is good
enough to HOLD the ordinary prisoner,
but it is unsanitary in every respect
and is not large enough to carry out the
law in regard to separating the sexes,
the lunatics from the criminal, the
whites from the blacks, and then the
fact is brought home to us that no
one can tell when one Of the best men
IN the community through force Of cir
cumstances might be held in detention
for perhaps long period, and to place
one who has been used toEthe home in
the foul dungeon is enough to cause the
contraction of disease that in all proba
bility followed by death.
1t is to be hoped that in this particu-
lar instance the Board has acted wisely
and should have the commentator o
all right thinking citizens.

it be in crowded China, are such
thorough and capable farmers,
Let one visit and carefully eI-
anime the truck farms around
Memphis if he wishes to see what
these people can and will do
with such land as Mississippi
soil. Nor are they a lawless or
criminal class; orderly, law abid-
ing and devout, they are noted as
a kindly, hospitable and humble
people. Of all farmerimmigra
to America, save possibly the
Germans, the Italian peasants
are the most desirable.
The above are their general
qualifications; their especial
adaptation to our state is that
they are accustomed to a hot
sun, a moist climate and one
where rains are frequent. To
our climatic conditions they
could almost Immediately adapt
themselves. That their settling
within our borders in large num-
bers would greatly develope the
state and bring no lawless crimi-
nal element into our population
hardly admits of a doubt.
In advocating the benefits of
inducing such immigrants to set
tie in Mississippi, Mr., Scott has
shown his wide knowledge and
stateS-craft, guided by his usual
good sense. No man in the
state, probably, is so familiar
with foreign labor conditions,
and none better acquainted with
such conditions here than he,
Though his election as governor
may do nothing toward this
measure Of Italian immigration,
his bringing it into prominence
and directing our peoples atten-
ton to it is a notable service to
the state. And that it should
hurt him in his canvass would
be not only unfortunate; it
would be foolishlv unjust.

OF services during the past ten
days. There was first the meeting
of the Columbus di strict Confer

all the preachers and a number of

speeches and strong sermons de-
Iiveged during theI conference, and
the Shuqualak people proved
themselves excellent entertainers.
Following the session of the Dis

preaching services were held, in
which the pastor was assisted by
