TUpELo MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY FEBRUARY p 1907
JUDGE TRULY DELIVERS GREAT SPEECH
At Lee County Court House Tuesday
An Appreciatve Audience Listened for Nearly Two
Hours TO the Distinguished Speaker

of the great public service cor
porations. He showed how the
people away from the great cen
ters of transportation are discrim-
mated against by the railroads in
freight rates and how the produ-
GERS of the wealth of the country
were unfairly taxed by them to
build up favored centers. He
advocated the enlargement of the
power of the Railroad commits
sion and the enactment of laws
to secure from the railroads fair
rates for the people of Mississip-
pi, and an equal opportunity for
the development of manufactures
and agriculture.
He demonstrated that under
our present system there is a
most unequal and unfair assess
ment of lands, showing that the
lands of the hill counties are as
sessed in proportion to value much
more highly than the lands of the
Delta, and the hill counties there
by made to contribute out OF all
fair proportion to the mainten-
ance of the State government.
He insisted that we should have
an euualization of assessment, SO
that the bur- N of taxation for
State purpo might be borne
equally by the several sections OF
the State.
He opposed most earnestly the
flooding of our state with imml-
grafton from Southern Europe,
and contended that this, If per-
mitted, would result in social con-
fusion, in the lowering of our
ideals of citizen ship and govern.
ment, and in the intenslfying OF
the already race question with
which we have to deal. He ad-
vised the people to save Mlssls-
sippi for themselves and their
children and warned them earn-
estly against delivering the land,
which their fathers Wrested first
from the savage and again from
the alien oppressor and despoller,
to a race incapable of appreclat
ing our institutions and clvlllza-
ton or of becoming Unidentified
with us in blood and sympathy.
It was a great speech upon a
high plane. 1t was bold, lumln-
Gus and profound. Our people
have known Of Judge Truly as a
great iurist. They know him
now as an crater and statesman,
who thinks strongly and pro-
foundly upon all public questions
and voices his opinions boldly so
that none may mistake them.

Good Man for the Place.

Under the above headline, the
Yazoo City News OF the 18th
inst, has the following to say
of Deputy State Auditor f. j.
Smith.
"Mr. f. J. Smith, Deputy
State Auditor and candidate for
Auditor was in the city yester-
day. Mr.. Smith is a native Of
the good old county of Chickasaw
but for the past fifteen years has
made Jackson his home. From
1887 to 1900 he was chief book
keeper under Hon. w. W.. Stone
and Col. w. w. Holder, auditors,
from 1901 to 1904 he was cashier
of the treasury department under
Col. George w. Carlisle and Hon.
Thad B. hampton, treasurers,
and from 1904 to the present time
he has been deputy auditor. He
has made a good and faithful
servant Of the people and has
proved faithful to every trust.
He only asks promotion, and
should the people of Mississippi
see fit to elevate him to the posi-
ton to which he aspires he will
serve them as we'll in the future
as in the past. The State has not
within her borders a man better
fitted for and deserving of the
honor. +"
The editor of the Hot Times is
personally acquainted with Mr..
Smith, and heartily endorses
every word of the above and un-
hesitating recommends him to
the readers of this paper as a
gentleman who is qualified in
every respect to fill the impor
tant position to which he aspires.
He has served the people faith
fully as deputy auditor, and now
he asks for promotion, and he is
Untitled toit, We bespeak for
him due consideration from our
readers in the coming primary
election. -Guntown Hot Times.
Mr.. E. j. Smith, deputy state
auditor, was in the city this week
in the interest of his candidacy
for State Auditor. Mr.. Smith is
asking for promotion as he has
been playing second fifteen for
fifteen years in the offices of
auditor and treasurer. His long
service denotes .faithfulness and
efficiencp, and being a native of
our. sister county, Chickasaw,
should receive a good vote in
Noxubee.

The people attending the Cir
cult Court Of Lee county enjoy
ed Tuesday a great treat in
hearing Judge Truly present the
issues upon which he is asking
election to the Governorship.
The Judge was very happily in
troduced by Col. Clayton. The
distinguished gentleman was in
excellent form His speech
abounded in wit, humor, elo-
quence and pathos. He was lis
tened to with the most profound
attention as he discussed the sew
eral measures Of public policy
advocated by him and impressed
those who heard him with the
conviction that his ideas were
wise and expedient and should
be- crystalized into law.
He contended that the present
pro-rata system of distribution of
the school fund wrought out un-
equal results, sending the child
rem of the negro counties to
school for a longer term and to
better paid teachers than the child
rem Of the white counties and in
cidentally affording greater op
portunities for the education of
the negroes than of the whites.
He argued that this was subser-
vance of the real purpose of pop
ular education at State expense
in Mississippi, and might in time
endanger white supremacy. He
argued that the welfare and pros
perity of the State and the hap
piness of her people depended
upon the education of the white
youth of the State and their pre-
paration for the duties of citizen
Ship, and that no system should
be tolerated which sent the ne
gro children of the Delta to
school for longer term than the
white children of the hills. He
demanded as the only solution OF
the trouble, the repeal Of Section
2O6 of the Constitution and the
adoption in its stead of a provl-
sion requiring the Legislature to
maintain the public schools for
an equal term in all the counties
of the State. His position is that
equality of opportunity and not
of money expended should be the
controlling principle in the dis
bursement of the school moneys
and the maintenance of the pub
lie school system.
He aligned himself squarely
with those who demand a more
stringent regulation and control

School Principals on Subject.

In the course of his address yesterday
afternoon, before the city school prn-
cipals. Rev. f. #. Eddy made plea for
the restoration o. the Three RS" in
education. He said In part:
Modern education is too complex
too diffused. Even the pedngoeues,
themselves, have no fixed simple Hystem

scheme or fads. notions, theories, with
the children as the material experI-

II Is the age OF fads and II seems as
" too many OF them cannot be
crammed IN the school system. There
Is such multiplication OF school in
terests that II is all confusing no
