Is Greatness Growing Among Negroes!
Quitman Globe.

Quitman Globe.
Attention has recently been
called to the fact that there are
a great many more crazy negroes
in the state today than there
were a few few years ago, and
that the rate of increase of insan-
ity among the colored population
has been much larger than with
the whites.
There are now more than LOO
patients in the two insane asylums
at jackson and Meridian, and more
than one half of these are negroes.
The trustees of the asylum have
been compelled to enlarge the quar-
tiers set aside for the negroes very ma
terially, and they are still crowded.
Various reasons are assigned for
this increase. but the most plau-
sible are that the nergo being
thrown on his own resources since
the proclamation that set him free,
has gone crazy trying to think how
to make a living and from the ex-
cessive use of opium. Dope
fiends'' are to be found in every
city and town in the state, negroes
predominating. There are drug
gists WIZ have grown rich selling
the seductive drug, negroes being
their chief customers. The state
has found it necessary to enact
strenuous laws against the sale of
this drug; but the pistol toting
habit, it is impossible to break it up.
Southern (Ripley) Sentinel.
A bob tailed dog will get up
in the night and bark for three
hours at the moon but the moon
don't care. 1t considers the source
and knows there is no reflection
and undisturbed continues to shed
the mellow rays of a beautiful
light alike upon dog and man.
The NANCY cur turns up his
nose and banks in disgust and seeks
to mar the light while thousands
Of better breeding gaze with admi-
ration and rapture upon this friend
to man and thank the God of the
universe for the great white light.
The moon shines on for thousand
years while the bark of the cur is
lost on the waves of the air. There
is many a human cur that stands
and barks his life away at some
noble and upright character and
he sneers and snarls and snaps
because others will not be decei-
we'd by his false alarm and join II
the effort to bedog an upright man.
The pure character is a power fol
good in this world and will live
with the angels in the next while
the human cur will be detested il
this life and verily | say unto
you he shall have his reward
where abode is eternal and thu
mango never gets well.

Talk and theorize as you may but
the fact remains that the regular,
steady, common sense advertiser
does the business history.
The fire and fall back" system
beats no advertising gust a little
bit. It's even so with so sacred

Had David Holt attempted to
connect the above foot to our
utterance in court, he would have
promptly been ruled down for ir-
relevancy, but as it is his out

some. be mistaken for a piece
of cheap journalistic wit, while by
most it will be regarded as an at
tempt to defend the noble(or rather
ignoble) art of swearing.

The best man we have In our town
for the general good Of the town is
the one you will always see on the
front seat in the progressive "band
wagon" He il the first one to greet
the stranger and welcome him to
the best town in the state. He will
resent an insult to our town as quickly
as he would a slur at member of bis
own family. He very politely invites
the chronic croaker to move on" He
is ever ready to give his just proportion
to every public enterprise He talks up
our town at home and abroad and
believes it the best place upon Gods
green earth in which to live and de-
sires to be buried here when he dies.
Let US all try and be like this man for
one year and our little city will take
on new life and improve as never be
fore in it's history

Would it not be we'll for parents

the schools and their children to visit
the schools at least one time during

Quoted than a resident of China has.
We do know that strangers who have
visited our schools have gone away
and said that we have the best schools
OF any town in the country. What
should the people of town feel
prouder of than good schools? What

also complained of the treatment
they received. On their arrival, there
was no one to meet them or instruct
them as to what was expected OF
them. No provision made for head
quarters or where they could get their
meals. A lack of courtesy all along
