Are you not a poet?" she finally

Ideas for a Trip Around the World.
We are going to give "a Trip
Around the World" very soon. Would
you please give us some suggestions
about amusements and costumes for
Scotland? Also suggestions for decor
atoms, entertainment, costumes for
lei and women and methods for
dressing women's hair for China?
PUZZLED.
For Scotland use plaids of Scottish
origin, have Scotch airs played and
the Highland Fling" danced. Get a
bag pipe if possible. For China, the
men wea queues, loose trousers and
shirts and the women short skirts
with shirt-like waists; the hair is
wound in a coil at the back, fastened
with many ornaments, the front a
slick, smooth pompadour.

BAIL DENIED
 DEFENDANTS

Helena, Ark, Aug. 17.-Billy Arch dale and Ben Carruth, charged with the murder of Editor Scott of the Helena World, August 4. were denied bail before Judge Hutton of the First district yesterday afternoon. Startling new evidence was introduced by the defense through Wiley Booker, who sWore that he saw the pistol flash, and that Billy Archdale was standing by the bar in saloon, and not in the street, where he could have fired the shot. Judge Hutton, however, held that presumptions of guilt were too strong for bail and remanded them 10 jail.

JERSEY FEMlNINITY.

New Jersey has long been famous for the pugnacious proclivities of its mosquitoes. It has been accepted without question since that period of time, now lost in the dim and unim- portant past, when the Jersey mos quito was first discovered, that nothing in mosquitodom equals the Garden States annual output. New ertheless, it is somewhat surprising t. learn that the insect there owes it's fame chiefly to the circumstance that it is female of the species alone which illustrates the stern strenu- osity of the clan, she being thor oughly endowed with thos2 athlet- ic traits now known to ma"k Jersey femininity in every walk of life.
 AS indicating Jersey fema,e strcn- uosity among the. humans, upon which is founded the States direct aaG positive claim 70 prepon1erlne courage and dete animation on the part of all things of supposed gentler nature, the Washington Herald recites the following incl. dent:
 Mrs. Dorothy Cort of Newark N J., caught a burglar at work. He jumped out of the window. She jumped also. He sprang over the wall; she sprang after him and col iared him.

ENGLAND IN INDIA

There has been much seeking among the English statesmen, for a reason for the steady growth of discontent among the natives of Hin- dustan. It is beyond the bounds of obability that ever again will there be an organized uprising against British rule in India on anything like the scale of the Sepoy mutiny, but there is much evidence of the exis- tence of a growing feeling of alien ation which is being fostered by some of the most influential native politicians.
 English rule in India has always been rather a marvel; it has been on the whole, strikingly good rule and the country has been exploited for it's own benefit, not for the ben eft of the ruling class. Public work: vastly bettering the country are car , ried on, employing native laborers who otherwise would be idle; fo, years an admirable system of educa- tion has been in effect; native cus- toms and religious observances have been interfered with as little as pos sible, and the necessary work of gov ernment, municipal as we'll as nation al, has progressed for years with eff l ficiency and economy
 ] And yet there are mutterings of
 revolt, much louder now than for many years. Some students of the sit uation affect to find the reason in Lord Kitchener's administration of the army. The Friend of India, >one of the oldest newspapers in India says that Kitchener has converted the loyalty of the native army into disaffection," and it demands his re- call, "on the ground that his arro- gance and lack of familiarity with the peculiar conditions of Indian life are endangering the safety of the Indian Empire"
 One feels that there must be some eXaggeration here, for Kitchener has shown himself able to handle situa- tions winch to other men were impos-

WAR ON THE sTWO.STEP."

Next to the seriousness with which the tailors of Foley street regarded themselves is that with which the dancing masters of this country seem to look upon the dignity and the use- fulness of their calling. There was q meeting of the National Association of Masters of Dancing at Atlantic City recently, and, while the whole sub ject of the terpsichorean art was gone into thoroughly, the most i'm portant point decided was that dire war should be waged on the two step."
 How large a part dancing may have had in our social system we, perhaps would never realize until we learn the grounds on which the objection was based. The ''two-step" keeps couples too far away from each other, for sooth, and therefore it has become a fatal obstacle to matrimony.
 As against the "two-step,' the dane. ing masters place the waltz, that en. thralling agent of propinquity whic,, makes a girl lose her head and shout Il feel like a ship on an ocean of joy Hark to the voice of the professors, as reported in the Boston Herald:
 If the girls of the country realized how many men used to fall in love while they were gliding through the dreamy waltz of a few years ago, you would not be able to force them 10 gallop through a 'two-step' Many a man who had no idea of making q

che Jersey City recorder. Thirty days. you drunken brute, said Mrs. Samuel Smith to her spouse.
 Mrs. Ida Gills of Newark, N J., followed a solicitor after missing her purse. She caught him on board a car
 These, according to the Herald, are but a few of the multitudinous happenings of New Jersey day in which lovely women figure pow erfully and with unmistakable en- phasis. If there be mollycoddles at all in Jersey, they exist among the men. It is neither the fashion nor the form for the Jersey girl to enact the role of clinSing and shrinking shyness. As the weaker vessel. she declines to posa. Rather does she hug close to her hear: the strenuous traditions of her native heath and treads adown the paths of glory, militant, rampant and un- afraid.
 We shall keep a weather eye on New Jersey. A state inhabited by such women and marked by such Ideals must stalk toward a mighty destiny.

proposal has thrown caution to the winds while he carried pretty girl through the mazes of a Strauss waltz, with the cello wailing love strain >
 Of course this wise dancing master is not he first to apostrophize the waltz. Byron went into ecstacies about it. Still, the modern world will be glad to know the motives which in- spire the change of fashions inculcat- ed and indorsed by the dancing mas ters.

sible. His lack of familiarity with the Egyptian character did not prevent him from quieting the Soudan, nor di his lack of knowledge of Boer na- retrieving the mistakes of his prede- cessors in South Africa.
 A native writer in the Hindustan Review attributes the present dsaffec- tioH not to the army, but to the atti- tude toward the natives of the British civil-service servants, who seem to feel their political superiority to the Indians and do not hesitate to show it. They have Jim crow" cars on the h. dian railroads, but, unlike the system in our South, where the cars are set aside for the negroes to the exclusion of the whites, in India the English are allowed to use the Indian cars. There is little social intercourse between the natives, even of the best class, and the British, and the natives are bar red from all but the worst clubs. Many little things go to show how wide is the gulf between the ruled and the rulers in India, and to the United States, with growing colonial problems to face, it should be in- structive and interesting to watch the methods by which our British cousins meet the situation in that wealthy and magnificent empire.

In order that town or city may
make substantial and steady growth
it must have factories SO as to induce
people to make their home there.
People will flock where there is EN-.
ployment. City or public work will
give employment to but few men, and
that only for portion of the year.
The question Of securing factories and
other sources of employment must be
agitated and inducements held out to
either the citizens or outsiders to in
vest, or at least investigate the pos
sibilities of successfully operating
PLANTS here. AS starter, we would
suggest the feasibility of some one
putting in pickle and canning
factory. We feel sure that our far
mers would see the benefits such an
institution would be to them as we'll as
to the town.

Spring Hill Industrial

Viewing the fact that the rig hit Kind Of

viduaI or race of people, and that an
industrial education is the right
kind, we have begun an Industrial
school in this section Of the county,
Southern Fart Of Rankin. county for
the purpose of training negro boys and
girls along industrial lines; that we
may be able to hold our own in this,
the south land. For believe as does
Booker T. Washington that there is a
negro problem, the solution Of which
is industrial training. I think that the
head. the heart and the hands of every
individual should be properly trained !.
The head to think. the heart to con-
oeive, the hands to work. To this end
is the Spring Hill Industrial school es-
tablished. We kindly solicit the sup
port of our friends, both white and
colored. Any friend would greatly
help us by giving us some carpentering
and farming implements.
