The New immigration Law.

The immigration measure will
provide for very exhaustive investi
CATION of many points. Meanwhile,
great efforts are going to be made
to distribute the newcomers more
thoroughly throughout the country,
and to test their fitness, particularly
in southern agriculture and industry.
AZ present wc are receiving i.nmi-
grants at the rate of considerably
more than million d year, one quar-
ter of them coming from Italy an
other quarter from the races Of Aust.
ria, Hungary, another quarter from
Rusia. and he remaining quarter
from Germany Scandinavia, the Brit
ish Island and scattered sources. The
situation requires the most eXhaus-
tive study and analysis. II these new
factors that make the bulk of Our i'm
migration should be sifted or restict-
ed in some radical fashion, public OPP
inion will support Congress in leg1s-
iation after the argument has been
sustained by a showing OF undeniab-
ie facts. At present the country is in
great need of labor, and a good kind
of immigration is welcome But in
the long run our industrial life itself,
as well as our social and political in

" II. MeALLIsTER.

AS stated in a letter to the press
given to the HERALD late in 1905,
Hon. ". NJ. McAllister of Waynes-
boro, Wayne County, is entering the
race for the State Senate from this
the Second Senatorial District. AS
is we'll known to our readers, this dis
trict comprises the counties of Greene
Wayne, Perry and Jones. McAllis-
ter's name can be seen suspened from
our announcement flag pole AcAl-
lister is by profession a lawyer, and
one who has forged to the front III
his profession in this section. He
has served his county in the Lower
House of the Legislature, being a
member Of the last Solons, and aspi-
res 10 the higher seat believing he
can be OF greater usefulness to the
people OF his own county and those
of the three nearby counties, through
Lis close study of their needs, and
his thorough knowledge of the lack
of equalization that they receive un-
der the present existing laws, gov
erning State distributions of school
funds, assessments, and representa-
tation. Mack has delved long and
deep into this question. He with Il
few others, are making this their life
work, and whether or not the suffra
gists, decide 10 have him and his as
sociates help carry out the reforms
they champion, yet there is no ques-
ton, but that good will come of their
persistent efforts to getrelief TO South
and especially to Southeastern Mis-
sissippi from it's present discrimina-
ted against conditions. He is known
to large number of Greene coun-
tians. AS he expects to make close
of the district he will meet
the mostof you in person and press
his claims. In speech made at the
Codrt House, Bird. Monday in Feby.
at Circuit Court, he defined his po-
5ition, stating his platform etc. He

School Times. 128 pages. Substan-
tally bound in green cloth. Price
75c postpaid
In this book, Mr. Trumbull, than
whom the preceding generation pro-
duced no greater worker for Christen-
dom, tells in a brief and touching
way of the men under whom the
moulding of bis great career WIS
made They were Chas. G.. Finney,
David Hawley, Elias r. Beadle and
Horace Bushnell. Two OF these names
are of world wide note, and the other
two of no small repute Its like
overlapping back into still another
generation to roam with Trumbull
through the pages of this work, as
he tells how he sat under the preach
ing, teaching, and needed the guild
ance of these old veterans, while he
was but youth. On account of the
faith of most of it's characters, it
should especially appeal to those of
the Presbyterian persuasion.

Infancy and innocency are synony-
nous. The tiny child does not speak
in vulgar or profane language,
does not drink rum or use tobacco.
does not cheat or wrong its cOmpan-
iOns,- 1t only grows into these evils
as it learns them from its elders; and
the teacher is not unfrequently some
member of the household, maybe a
religious professor with his mouth
stained with narcotics and his breath
stained with alcohol, and his words
unchaste, and his habits tricky and
uncertain. What a happy world this
would be if the innocency of child
hood S tender years could be carried
thru age. So while we are training
them in the way they should walk.
let us watch our own footsteps, and
not cut off their harmless mirth to
suit our tastes that have grown som

mistake gloom for pity, or a broken

If young men wish to succeed in
business, they must not spend their
time and money in simply having a
good time. They must not be discon-
tented with the little place IN which
they are in because they think they
are too big for it. The way to get
into large place is to outgrow the,
one you are in, until it is so small
that it will not hold you any longer.
A man who sits shrunk up and worth
less in a little place, because he thinks
it not worth while to grow enough
to fill that, has little prospect of get
ting into larger ones. Fill the place
that you are in. Fit yourself for
higher usefulness. To do that you
must do something beside play tho
that may be innocent in itself.
