Graded School Open
ing

The fall term of the Tupelo
Graded School began Monday
morning under the most favor
4ble auspices. The number of
pupils present will exceed that
of any former opening. The
chapel was filled to overflowing
and it will tax the capacity of
the building to accommodate the
children enrolled during the scol-
astic year. At the invitation of
Professor Wallace, a number Of
guests were present as we'll as
several of the trustees. The
school was opened by singing The
Gloria by the pupils. The Rev.
T. w. Lewis of the Methodist
church read from the 21st Psalm
and offering an invocation in
which he prayed for divine gui-
dance in the work of both teach
ers and pupils during the year.
At the close of the invocation Mr..
Lewis made an interesting talk
in which he urged one and all to
do their full duty. Rev. R. A.
Kimbrough was called on and
also spoke words of incourage.
ment to both the teachers and
pupils and endeavored to impress
upon the minds of the children
that no part of their work could
be neglected if a perfect report
was expected at the end of the
session. Mr.. j. r. Dabbs. one
of the trustees, was called on
to say something but he declined
to on the ground that he did not
wish to overshadow those who
had already spoken.
The faculty had the addition
of three new members whose
past work is q guarantee that
they will give entire satisfaction
in their new places. Prof. Lang
ston, the assistant principal, has
won an enviable reputation asAn
educator and will give hearty
and valuable support to Prof.
Wallace in his arduous work.
Misses Sessions and Carter, the
ladies added to the faculty, come
most highly recommended and
the school is fortunate in secur-

and their lead pencils against the
crime which, if not suppressed,
will ultimately destroy their race
For there is growing steady in
the minds of the Caucasians
South a stern determination to be
freed at any cost from this ele-
ment of terror which covers the
women of our people. We have
bought with our blood and with
our brains a continent which we
have redeemed from the wilder
ness and made the greatest nation
under the sun. We have built
out of the ashes and desolation
Of war a country thatin develop
ment has come to be a wonder and
the admiration of the world.
We are doing our part in all of
the great movements that make
our country glorious and the
age illustrious in achievement.
And we are rapidly reaching the
point where we will not permit
ourselves much longer to endure
in this Southern country a siege
in which our women are the
prisoners and in which every
Southerner is an anxious sentinel
at the out post of his fireside
and the shrine of his home.
If these negroes who are max
ing themselves so blatent in their
public speeches and conventions
if the leaders from Booker
Washington down to the bishops
and the preachers and the small
est editor would lift up the BAN
ner Of a great united crusade
against the infamy of rape and
would pledge themselves to hunt
with even fiercer vigilence than
the white man, the despoiler of
our homes and the deadliest enc
my to the hopes of the negro,
then we might hope to witness a
change in these conditions and a
suppression of these crimes
which provoke that fiery terror,
which, however lawless and
however deplorable is the only
deterrent of the rapist and the
chief defense of'women.
There is no excuse for apathy
here. Time and again the ap-
peal has gone forth for co-opera-
ton along these lines. And in
the memory of these unanswered
appeals we sternly arraign the
responsible members of the ne
gro race for the silence and mac
tive apathy which they have
shown.
For the future we refuse to
heed their protests or so c0nsid-
er their statements until they
get themselves busy along the
only practical line on which they
can be of service to themselves
and to US.
If they do not do this and If
all other expedients fail, as they
are failing, the time may come
when the dominant and trium-
phant civilization of the south
will rid itself of this awful ter
ror ia q more radical and a
more revolutionary way.
Patience is growing frazzled in
Caucasian hearts. And after
patience comes the deluge.

Some Modern Comforts

since the manufacture of carpets began in
England. Harboring, as it does, dust and
disease germs, the carpet may not be an un-
mixed good; but it protects the feet OF inva-
lids and aged persons and creeping infants,
from cold, and so must add something to the
average length Of human life.
About two hundred years ago an ingenious
Frenchman traced a pattern with varnish on
cotton goods, and sitting powdered flock Of
different colors upon it, produced pleasing
and cheap walcovering. Not long afterward
another Frenchman invented a machine for
making continuous paper. Hand-printed wall
paper was soon made, but wall paper was
not printed by machinery until 1910.
Paper was invented by the Saracens some
time In the seventeenth century, but, like
glass and the art of weaving it was long
time in bringing comfort and cheer to the
poor
Cotton was manufactured into cloth in an
clent Egypt, and in India before the dawn of
history, and Cortes found the Mexicans cloth
ed in cotton; but it was not manufactured in
Europe until $50 A. D., when Abderahman
III, the greatest of Moorish princes, was
reIgEning over the fairest part, of Spain
Arabic. But cotton was manufactured, in
deed, till the invention of the spinning jenny
Q769), the carding engine (1760), the steam
engine (by Watt, 1863 and the power loom
Q7S7).
Bleaching by means of chlorines was dis
covered, then clothes were printed from cylin-
ders, and you and |, dear reader, have in con-
sequence an abundance of cheap, easily laun-
dried undergarments and gowns, that queens
would have been proud to wear two hundred
years ago.
The manufacture of rubber has introduced
another cheap means of protecting the human
body. There are plenty Of grandfathers living
who can tell you of the first rubber shoes,
and the now universal rubber cloaks and coats
date back but few years.
The rich, who can ride, and whose purses
can afford to spoil few garments now and
then by rain, receive some benefit, of course
from these overgarments, but they are an
inestimable boon to men and women of linn
tied means, who must face all weathers
Rubber not only protects the body, but it
is a means of relieveing pain in air-cushions
and hot-water bottles. 1t has also given the
hospital and surgeon long list of appliances
and instruments useful in preserving life by
promoting recovery from disease.

Steam has revolutionized the poor mans ta-
ble Tea, coffee, Spices fruits from California
and Florida, are within his reach, and for
five dollars he can buy. coal oil stove, by
which he can do a maximum OF cooking at a
minimum of cost
Poor, indeed, is the Northern man who
lives in a house that has no glass windows;
but in the days of Queen Elizabeth and the
great Chrales V, glass was very; sparingly
used, even in the most splendid establishments.
When family possessing glass easements
left home, they had them taken out and
packed up, for fear of accident, and Tor
long period windows were movable property,
like chairs and tables. But glass was known
to the ancient Egyptians, even before the exo-
dus of the Israetes, so some scholars say.
Bits of blue glass have been found in the
ruins of Thebes, and glass utensils unearthed
at Herculaneum.
Weaving is believed to be an older art than
spinning. Rude looms are pictured on the
tombs at Thebes, and it is believed that
the curtains of fine twined linen, blue and
purple and scarlet, with cherubim of cunning
work." made for the tabernacle, were tapes
tries, the work of the loom, not the needle.
The old story of Penelope and her oft-un-
raveled web is familiar to all. During the
middle ages, while France and England were
becoming nations, thousands of patient fingers
toiled at tapestries, picturing the stories of
the Bible in many tinted threads OF wool
and silk, for some great cathedral, or weaving
the deeds of gallant knights on hangings for
a castle. Noble ladies worked at these tapes
tries, and great artists made designs for
them, and no doubt they shielded many titled
heads from unpleasant draughts. But tapes,
tries were not for the poor; neither were the
curtains Of embroidered leather, which the Cru,
saders brought patterns of from the East.
Skins of bear and the wolf probably pro-
tected the feet OF Queen Elizabeth from the
cold stone floor of her bower. 1t is doubtful
if soft rugs from Smyrna adorned it. Rushes
strewed the floors Of her banquet halls and
audience chambers. He was a rich man who
could afford fresh rushes every day
