Mr.. w. o. Orr, better known as

Mr.. Coery of Eufalla, Ala,

Quite crowd was out Sunday
night to listen to the gospel expoun-

DR.. M. D. Williams of Mont

This evening we had pretty
bad thunder storm; it made us
think about storm pit, for the
clouds looked dark and stormy.
The lightning struck a vacant
house, the Green Hotel, first COM
ing down the chimney, firing the
trash in the fire place, crossing the
hall into two other rooms bursting
and tearing off the ceiling as it
went.
Hon. B. P. Harrison going
north this afternoon, stopped off a

on the engine; his many friends
welcoming him with a hearty
grasp.
Mr.. M. J. F. McLendon tell us
that he has grown cotton boles, and

South by electoral restrictions.
Edu cation may grow him up to
meet these. Before it does, we
trust God, that the repeal of the
18th and modification of the 18th
Amendment will have been accom-
plished. Then the states can leg
islate the black, the tan, maroon,
octoroon and etcetera out of the use
of the ballot eternally by consti-
tutional enactment. The negroid
race can never be nothing in this
country but a ward of the govern
ment. There is no door Of Hope
for him politically or socially. By
some way or other the dead line of
demarcation will continue to be
marked out for the prevention of
its swinging ajar. Possibly some
of their thinkers have already rec
ognized that as the door Of hope to
look for for the negro will gain
by it. TheU. S. Government will
never be brought to repeal the War
Amendments, until some vestige is
left in the fundamental law, that
will guard against peonage the in
feriOr race or races that are here
or will come into our land. Our
National government would not
leave several millions of people at
the mercy of designing and I'M
scrupulous labour sharks, to take
advantage of its illiteracy and
simplicity to draw into the net of
industrial bondage 1t will insist
that the negro or every other ward
of our government, be protected
in his rights of life, rights of lib
erty, rights of property and hap
piness. Such would afford all the
protection that is needed by the ne
gro. No longer would mob crimes
outcrop. The guilty would be pun
ished and the innocent protected by
law, and in rural hamlet as we'll as
in city.
With the cloud of political and
social equality removed, the law
abiding white citizens, would not
see the weak but innocent negro
ruthlessly harmed either in his per-
son, family, property or pursuits.
The states would enact legislation
that would guarantee these protec-
tion of the courts to the ward race,
In other words, while the white
people would make and execute the
laws, they would provide for the
protection of the ward race in every
righteous way. The right to sue for
redress to property, or be sued; as
a corporation which has no soul nor
vote to cast This is the only happy
conclusion to be ever reached if we
are to live in peace together.

DON'T BORROW TROUBLE
HUSTLE!
LET US SMILE, BE CHEERFUL AND DE-
OUR LEVEL BEST

| OOh LEW DE"As
Never trouble trouble, till trouble
troubles you, and if you own any
money go to bed and sleep Let the
other fellow walk the floor"-you
need the rest to enable you to work
and earn it to pay him back, and that
is good, sound advice, says the New
IDEA WOMAN's MAGAZINE tor July.
If you work yourself to death over
the everyday annoyances of life, you
will deserve all the sufferings it Gre
ates such as sickness, poverty, dis
appointment and loss of good looks,
ca1 olly boast a warped DISPOSE
ton.
All these conditions of the good
things that might be yours for the
taking
In this great plan of creation it is
certain that every one has a place.
and if we are not in it and fulfilling
the obligations it requires, no matter
how hard, whose fault is it? We sure
ly cannot blame that fact upon tie
Creator, for humanity should be con-
stantly begging His pardon for mis-
understanding Him so frequently as
it does.
No, it is lack of mental ability not
desire to move our moral response
bilities; we should put our finger on
our lips and remember that once we
we're given dominion over the things
of this earth, ourselves to be only a
little lower than the angels. what
has become of the gift? 1t was given
for all time.
If we expected a good living to
drop into our lap like ripe plum. as
it were, without troubling ourselves
to earn it, needless to say we will get
a shock, and it will take all the spunk
we can scare up to cushion it SO that
t does not bowl us over.
So let us sing blitbely, let us smile |
let us dress our best-and |
hustle!

SOCIAL EQUALITY NOT DESIRED.
By Negro Race is Belief of One of
Their Teachers.

Leakesville, Miss June, 10Th 1908
Mr.. Editor i write briefly to
say few things: one of which /
frankly state, like the HERALD
and endorse it most heartily. Mr..
Editor | am aware Of the fact that
it is thought generally by the white
man, that the Negro is clamoring
for social equality, but as | am in
better position, than the white
man to know the sentiments of the
Negro" on the social equality
question, then | am prepared to
say positively: that my race is not
wanting, neither is it asking for
social equality with the whites.
Though the noise of social equality
may have buzzed in this bonnet
1.-THE negro's, a way back during
Grants Administration in 1873;
and in the days of Ben Butler when
the air was full of noise to the
brim, about the Civil Rights
Bill" and when the doctrine of
the Carpet Dagger" was preached
to the Negro on social equality,
etc.-then ignominy may have
caused some of the weaker or the
inferior elements of my race, to
think that the two races would
blend and in the course of time be-
come homogeneous. But the en-
or the educated class of
ms people has never thought the
two races would ever blend; neither
do they ask for it, but they are
opposed bitterly to the mixing up
Of the races, because they do not
think it was ever intended and
even if it would or could be they |
.hink it would work detrimental |

Adamsville, Miss, June II 1903.
AS | have nothing to call my
mind to, | will give my thoughts
to the HERALD.
A nice rain visited this settle
ment Saturday and | guess every
body was glad to see it on their
crops as they were rather dry.
The good old farmers of this
community have very nice looking
crops.
This place is lonely today, as
some of the people went to Cedar
Grove. and others attended the Bap-
tizing at the Kittrell School House.
| hope them all nice time.

Of presidential candidates, Bryan
will be the peer so far as private
life is concerned. He is a devoted
Christian, as we'll as patriotic. He
earnestly cares more for seeing the
country happily governed, than for
the power of place himself. His
character will bear the closest scru-
tiny for cleanness; he is one of
those peerless men, who believe in
right and are living exemplars of
it, not because it happens to be
popular, but because he honestly
with heart and soul subscribes to
it.

The presence of 1401 convicts
in the Mississippi penetentiary is a
record breaker. Of course the vast
majority of them are negroes, and
the number serves to show the mag
nitude and seriousness of the prob
lem that confronts the state in its
criminal population. The steady
increase is to say the least, dis
quoting and brings to mind I'M

future. The great majority of the

facts too; but never tn | SIS nu
No one need try to oeny. IN
is it that nearly all the gIrls-1.c,

easily drawn toward the unto

on the other hand, nice yttig
men are simply snubbed' Iii
avoided? There are girls, nice
ones too, who are treated pretty
much the same way, by tn op-
posite sex; but | cannot go into
details just now for lack of space.
Tie writer could, if so inclined
point out several pious, steady
and level headed young men of
uprightness ands integrity, who
were and are ignored, and un-
popular with mo t girls; simply
because they do not use enough

that tells us that behind the hand
that penned it throbs noble heart;
a pure-minded and lofty intent
person. Do not be too idealistic,
however but remember that the

them and need the cautious but
