Organizing the Negro.

Colonel Tom Haynie, editor of the
Union Advocate. organ of the Farm
ers' Union of Mississippi, has carried
out his threat to organize a negro
branch of the society and the dis
patches from Jackson tell us that a
newspaper has been established ID
boost the movement.
President Hightower, of the State
Farmers Union, is known to be vigor-
ously opposed to Haynie's negro move
ment, and the News believes that
majority of the white farmers of the
state will take like view of the mat
ter.
The Farmers Union has accom-
plshed a great deal of good as an or
ganization of white farmers, but the
movement to hold cotton has been Sc
flOuSly uduQlCdppOd " PACAh'i9SN'~
selling on the part of negro producers.
Editor Haynie hopes to stop this ten
dency by bringing the negroes into the
organization, but many good citizens
seriously doubt the wisdom of the
movement.
The Farmers Union is secret so
ciety, and those who know the nature
of the negro are well aware of the
fact that secret societies have caused
his undoing in the past.
And history will repeat itself in thi'
instance.
Unless the white farmers of the
state take prompt action to stop thi
movement to organize the negroes, tn
entire union movement will collapse.

Hurry.

To our own age belongs the credit OF
having raised hurry from the degraded
position of disease to that of a COM
mercial process. Formerly hurry sim
ply brought people to an early grave,
with nothing to show for it, whereas
now it is become the means of trans.
forming peace of mind, which is
solecism, to say the best of it, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to he
a great fact in life. Even the fashions
take account of 1t, until women are
found doing up their hair in such a
way that they may go the speed limit
without fear of its coming down. And
the best Of hurry is that it Is its own
sufficient justification. liobody ex-
poets hurry to have any particular
reason behind 1t any more.-Life.

nifty. And Hattiesburgans know that
the price of lumber must advance ma
terially before normal business condiS
tons are restored in this territory.
Lumbermen tell the News that there
is already indications of healthy
