SPOKE VERY TRUTHFULLY
Dr.. Abercrombie at Booker Us
School Creates a Sensation
THE MISTAKE OF NEGRO ENfRANCHEEnENT
The Greatest Of All Blunders Unfair
to Both Whites and Blacks Dis
asters VIII Long Be Visible

The most dramatic incident of tht
celebration of Booker r. Washing
tons school occurred this morning
when President John w. Abercrombie
of the University of Alabama, stated
in plain words and with great elo.
quence the intelligent and sane South.
ern view OF the race question. In
scathing terms he arraigned the Ma.
ti0nal government for having en-
franchised the negro Immediately after
the Civil war, and denounced it for re-
fusing to educate the negroes after it
had turned them out free and helpless
upon the impoverished South.
Dr. AbercrOmbie said:
The Southern whites and the ne
grOeS were not the cnly people who
blundered in the beginning of free
dom. The greatest Of all the mis-
takes made in that exciting period
was committed by those who admin
lStered the affairs OF the National
Government. The sudden enfranchise-
ment of race comprising over three
millions of people, and without even
day of special preparation for cit
izenship, was the colossal mistake of
the times. 1t produced a condition
as unfair to the ex-Slave as it was
cruel to the former master. 1t made
possible the rule and ruin of the
carpet bagger. 1t drove a dagger to
the heart of the white South, and has
retarded for all time the civic growth
and the educational development OF
the negro race. 1t complicated, il in
deed it did not create, the race prob
lem. The disastrous effects of that
stupendous error will long be visible
and burdensome. For forty years al
ready these effects have obscured the
visions of men.''
Another important statement was:
"OutSide of education, there is no
for the race problem. This
education must be of the right kind,
and it must be universally applied. If
the continued inaction OF the Nation
ii government renders it necessary for
onc Of the races to receive meager ed
acat tsonal advantages it is best for the
for sexsor1-6ny advaHtage
should go to the dominant races.
Why? Because the best way TO Sc
cure universal education for the negro |
S to give universal education to the
white man. The more you educate
)eOple in the right way, the more anx-
Gus do they become to give education
% Others. Educate the white man
and the white man will ed
lcate the negro. OF course, it is de-
irable IL possible that the education
# the races should. proceed under con-
|itions equally advantageous. How
Ong, oh, how long. will it take the
IatiOn to awake to a sense of it's duty
0 this section and to this people? To
reate a burden, and then refuse or
eglect to assist, in carrying it, is
1rong, and il deliberately done, is
owardly, is criminal. This is true of
and it is equally true Of
Oyernment. nt.-Special to the Plea
une. Il

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone s. Paine were agents fol-
---: we mustn't tell names.
We want 'em. Paine was painting
his big Colonial house. Said it took
10 gallons of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said; if
you get IT all on, no pay; il you have
any left, return it and pay for the
rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated; that's why it took
ten gallons TO equal six of ouIS.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to 60 by; Devoe lead -and-zinc.
Yours truly.

CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD.
Aspirants For Almost Every State
Office Already Announced
VERY KEEN INTEREST HAS BEEN AWAKENED
Besides the Race For Governor Other
Political Events Are Beginning
to Attract Attention

A very keen public interest has
been awakened throughout the state
in the gubernatorial handicap, an6
here in Jackson it is one Of the priu-
cipal topics of discussion around the
state house and in hotel corridors.
Every man whose entry now seems
positively assured is more or less
busily engaged in fixing up his politi-
cal fences, and it will undoubtedly be
the longest as well as the most spirit
ed campaign in Mississippi's history.
Other political events are beginning
to attract considerable attention, and
the minor state officers are beginning
to demand their share of attention.
Secretary of State j. w. Power will
perhaps have opposition in the person
of Maj. S. A. Jonas, the veteran editor
of the Aberdeen Examiner. The
friends Of Major Jonas tried to get
him in this race ut the last election
but failed.
1t was announced yesterday that
State Treasurer Miller would make
the race for railroad commissioner in
the Northern district in opposition t.
Representative Daniel L. Ross of Tish-
omingO and State Senator Scott Of
Webster, with the probability of Capt
w. g. StOvall also entering the field.
A four entry race for the commission
ership in that district will make it q
very lively event. Commissioners
$. ID. McNair and r. L. Bradley are
expected to stand for reelection. Ne
opposition has been announced to tlte
former, but Capt. John A. Webb OF
this city, former secretary Of the COM
mission, is expected to make the race
against the latter.
Hon. John Il. Wells. secretary Of
the prison board Of control, will be. a
candidate for state treasurer, and he
IS promised opposition in the person
If Mr.. p. S. Stovall, of Clinton. There
nay be other entries in this race.
Prof. G. +. Boyd, of KoSciusko, has
llready announced for state superin-
endent of education. He will proba-
,ly be opposed by Prof: A. II. Elicit,
#. Blue Mountain and Prof. j. N
'dwers Of West Point. Hon. John
Gddins, of Marshall. is being mention
d quite favorably for the place.
AttOrney-General Williams will not
'e candidate for reelection, but his
Ssistant, Hon. r. V. Fletcher, is be-
ng urged by his friends for the place.
tate Senator Q. G. Dunn has beea
rominently mentioned, but has not
ct reached a decision.
Hon. T. r. Maxwell is the only can,
idate thus far announced for auditor,
ut Hon. E. j. Smith, present deputy
uditOr, will enter the race. Insur-
nee Commissioner w. Q. Cole is not
xpected to ask for reelection, having
ther plans in view. The smaller Off
Is will have their full list Ct entries.

CALIFORNIA AN IDEAL STATE
No State In the Union Offers Greater At.
fractions to Spend Your Vacation

There Is perhaps not another state
in the Union, nor a strip of land or
the American continent which offers
greater attractions than, those of Cal
ifOrnia as place to spend your vaca.
| tiOn.
So many teachers who contemplate
spending their vacation as agreeably
as possible, to the best advantage,
and at small expense, it was deem
ed prudent by the California Commit
tee of the National Educationa Asso-
citation to print booklets which give
all the information, and answer the
many inquiries received from all
parts of the United States about the
cost OF attending the San Francisco
meeting of the N. E. A., in July next,
the cost OF living in San Francisco and
in other parts Of California and points
Of interest of the Pacific coast. The
booklet gives the railroad rates for
round trip over all the direct routes To
and from San Francisco, from all the
principal points in the East and as far
West as Salt Lake City and from the
Northwest. 1t tells Of the privileges
granted on these special tickets, going
by one road and returning by an
other, the stop overs and the length
of time for which these privileges
hold good.
1t also gives the rates of hotels,
boarding houses, both the American
and the European plan. The cost of
single meals in restaurants or at ho-
tells, the charge for taking luggage to
and ffOm different points. 1t emu
merates the principal resorts in Cali
fordia and on the Pacific coast, how
to reach them, the mode of travel,
the cost of the round trip, and hotel |
rates. 1t also shows how teachers |
oan spend their vacation profitably in
California for as many weeks as they |
desire at no greater expense than it
would cost almest anywhere else.
They could learn more during their
stay in California than by travelling
many months In other parts.
The knowledge the teachers will &C.
luire on tlleir trip across the conti-
1ent and during their stay in Caiifor.
Tia and on the Pacific coast, and on
,his side trips, which are being plan
led for their special benefit, will be
II great value to- them and to those
whom they teach, and will furnish
hem ample and Interesting material
% dwell upon for many months and
perhaps years to come.
These booklets may be had, free of
;harge, by those who desire them on
application to the N. E. A., Califor-
lia Headquarters, % New Montgom-
ry ST., San Francisco.

was an effective means Of defense. par

very large forts or castles it sometimes
assumed the dimensions of lake, be-

crossed by drawbridge, which could
