A MISSISSIPPI WRITER ON
THE RACE QUESTION

The Herald has had frequent occa-
sion to comment upon and quote
from the writings of Mr. A. H.Stone,
OF Greenville, on the industrial, or
economic, phases Of the negro ques-
ton. 1t is not strange that his simple
and incisive style of expression and
fairness and fidelity to truth, should
have won for this writer high respect
and honorable distinction from all un
prejudiced readers. The pamphlet
from which The Herald quoted last
Sunday, The Economic Future OF
the Negro was one OF series that
was certain to command such trlb-
ute. Nevertheless, if not strange It Is
highly significant that this native
Mississippian should have become an
acknowledged authority and popular
writer upon the theme to which he
has devoted his time and talents, with
Northern thought. That this is true
is another proof that through the OBJ
Ject lessons Of closer contact with
the bone of contention, the DRIFT OF
Northern sentiment is fast nearing
the Southern viewpoint and conclu-
sions upon the question which once
divided the two sections SO widely.
Mr.. Stone has recently been ap-
pointed to a work which is a signal
as it is an honorable testimony OF
appreciation Of his authorship and
that it is pleasure to the Herald to
mention. The Carnegie Institution 10
financially backing very elaborate
economic history of the United
States, and the work is III charge OF
Carroll d. Wright and board OF
eleven editors. Each of these has
charge of a given part of the WORK.
After organization the board realized
that such a history demanded a sep
arate, or special treatment of the ne
gro, and Mr.. Stone was asked to sub
NIT a plan of such feature. This
proving acceptable he was invited to
write the negro section, and to be
| come the twelfth member of the
board
Such an invitation from a body OF
the most distinguished economic writ
ers OF the nation was a distinction to
be priced by Mir. Stone, and his
friends. But coming from a body oil
Northern men, all more or less &C
quainted with his writings and views
| It was much more than personal
honor. 1t was a significant and d
notable sign that Northern error and
prejudice against the Southern view
and doctrine of the race prob!eu Is
| fast approaching the vanishing point
And in clearing away its pcreersions
| and dissertations, no one has accom-
flishtd more than Mr.. Alfred H.
| Stone now OF the Board of Editors
Of the Carnegie American Economic
History Vicksburg Herald
Mr.. Stone IS now in the Bermuda
| Islands where he IS taking brief
rest before entering upon his work
outlined above. As the Herald says
| Mr. Stone has won honor and distinc-
ton by his appointment on the Board
of Editors on the proposed economic
| history. Mr.. Stone has been for &
number of years a close student OF
the negro race, and the past few
years he has spent in Washington
/ D. C, has been to better study and
| research on this interesting pro-
blem. He IS eminently fitted for this
task, and his many home friends here
rejoice with Mr.. Stone on his added
honor and recognition

EXTENSION BY JULY |
Contractor Daugherty, Whose Firm Is
Building Road, Tells Of
Conditions.

The work of building roadbed
for the extension of the Mime
81 ia & International railway
north from Big Falls to Inter
national Falls has already been
commenced and will be rushed
with all possible speed.
J. P. Daugherty of the firm of
Dempsey & Daugherty, who
have been awarded the contract
for building the extension, was
in Bemidji today and he affirms
the report of the immediate CON-
pletion Of the road. Mr..
Daugherty will have personal
charge of the work, with head.
quarters at Big Falls, but he
will also spend considerable of
his time in Bemidji.
The survey of the proposed
route for the extension has been
surveyed from Big Falls to Inter-
national Falls, but there may be
some minor changes made in the
line from Little Fork north, al
though the original survey will
be followed as far as Little Fork.
Dempsey & Daugherty have a
large crew of men establishing
camps along the line, and a camp
will be located every three miles
of the route.
Already the work of clearing
the right-of-way and "swamp-
ing" is we'll under way, although
the deep snow is considerable of
a hindrance. The work to be
done this winter will also include
the grading through the swamps,
which can only be done during
cold weather, as work in the
swamps at any other time is out
of the question.
Mr.. Daugherty states that he
expects to have the entire line
graded and ready for the rails
by July 1, which will be good
news for the people living north
of Big Falls.

which is of much interest to the
people of Bemidjl and the couD-
try north of here is that against
Edison Bereman and B. E. Brady
of Houpt postottice, who are
charged with having "killed one
Archibald Campbell, in the heat
of passion, but in a cruel and
unusual manner not under such
circumstances as to constitute
excusable homicide, Campbell
being so struck with a club in
the hands of Edison Bereman,
said club being too feet long and

charge while long-worded, is
that of causing Campbell's
death.
Archie Campbell died at

several hours after having been

Victim of Overturned Steam Shovel
Will Again Enter Brainerd

Joseph Urness, the M & I.
engineer who was so badly ir :
jured by the overturning of a
steam shovel last fall, was in Be-
midi this morning, being on his
way from visit at Crookston to
the n. P. hospital at Brainerd.
Urness was injured Septem-
ber q, at Laporte, while he was
acting as engineer of the steam
shovel crew. In some manner
the car containing the shovel was
derailed and U~ness was pinned
underneath. Us right leg was
broken in two places, his
shoulder was dielocated and his
left arm was also broken. Urness
was taken to the Bemidji hos.
pital, and it was not thought that
he could possibly live, but he re-
covered sufficiently to be taken
to the N. p. hospital at Brainerd,
where he remained until few
days ago, when he went to
Crook k>ton for a brief visit.
While he is a:la to walk W th

are still v.:ry painful. He states
that he is much bothered with
his back and fears that his spine
has been permanently injured,
and will again enter the hospital
at BraineYd for time.

Curley UIrich to Fioht.

Many BE MIDI people know
Curley SUlrich, the Superior
weller weight, who is one of the
most popular and "square" "pugil.
lists in the couatry. Ulrich is
going rapidly to the front rank
in his class, and Judging from
the following taken from the
Duluth Herald, he has some ''go-
ing" cut dut for him during the
next month: @.-.z
Local fight fans are promised
a treat some time before Christ
mas day. Jack Reed of Chicago
has been matched to meet Curley
Ulrich of Superior for a side bet
of ST., 900. The fight will be held
some place within 100 miles of
Duluth, and special trains will
be run from the Head of the
Lakes to accommodate local
sports who wish to take in the
battle. s-
UIrich is being backed by
Superior men. He has been fight
ing regularly during the last few
weeks, and is in fine condition.
Reed is known to be a fast and
clever boxer, and he will give
Ulrich a good battle. ~:
Ulrich left last evening for
Minneapolis, where he will sign
articles to fight Jim mie Potts of
that city. The place where the
battle will be held is being kept
a secret, but it will not be far
from the Head of the Lakes.
Ulrich has plenty of backing for
this match, and he is authorized
to place a side bet of from $500
to SIS, 900 on the outcome.
Ulrich has authorized the
sporting editor of the Herald to
issue challenge in his name, tc
Lee Flanders. Ulrich's challenge
is very sweeping affair, and be
offers to meet Flanders at any
time, any place, any weight, and
for any amount of money. He
claims that Flanders has beer
telling friends that he had Ulrict
outclassed, and the Superior boy
is eager to give Flanders q
chance to prove it.
Ulrich arrived in the city this
afternoon from Superior and
will spar fifteen rounds, at the
Star theater, tonight with O'Don
nell, better known as "Kio
Kelley = The latter fought 8
fifteen round draw with Ulrict
at Thief River Falls, three
months ago.
