over the world that he had discovered
the pole.
If Peary had made the same time
going to the pole as he made coming
away from the pole, no doubt hei
would have met DR.. Cook at the north
pole. i
It was not DR.. Cook that nailed
the stars and stripes to the north pole,
but his little Observation-Disclosures Trio-

And now the Southern corn

ger. A story comes up from Durham
N. c., that there are some serious
cases of pellegra under treatment In
that district. Pellegra is a disease Of
the skin somewhat resembling leprosy
It's appearance has caused many fam.
lilies to give up the use of cornmeal
as food, it being held that the disease
finds its causation in maize.-Terre

The Board of Township School
Fund Trustees and the Board of Sup
crvisors of Bolivar County are de-
serving of every commentator on the
part of the people of Mound Bayou
for the four hundred. ($400) dollars
appropriation made for the reno
vation and repair of the public
school building in this town. Surely
this munificence came to us in the
very nick of time, for it is incon-
ceivable that an institution could have
stood more solely in need of just such
assistance. The work of improvement
is now going forward, and Mrs. Bry-
ant is to be congratulated on the out
look for infinitely more comfortable
quarters for the work of the coming
school year.-The Demonstration. 3A.
Some weeks ago we spoke of the ne
cessity of intelligent citizenship. AT
the recent Registration many who
stood around saw some very funny
things and heard some very funny
stories and the result was that almost
in every instance the voter was turned
down. Registrars may ask proper
questions, but the fellow appointed as
an overseer, representing either party,
may ask many improper questions.
For instance, Have you got a tax re-
ceipt?" Where did you get it?" oqa
Now an intelligent voter who pre-,
sents himself before a registration
board. ought certainly know that it
is no ones business how or where he
got his tax receipt. The mere fact of
his having one is all the law. requires.

The National Negro Press Associa.
ton was organized at Louisville in
connection with the meeting Of the
National Negro Business League. 1t
deserves the enthusiastic. support OF
every Negro editor, publisher, cores
pondent and magazine writer in the
country. It is what we have been
needing 10 these many years, and now
that it has been set on foot, we should
see to it that it grows yearly in
strength and influence. The Kentuc-
| ky Reporter is proud that so promis-
ing an institution had its birth upon
| the soil of the Blue Grass State. We
are likewise proud that Mr.. r. w.
Thompson, a native Kentuckian, was
chosen president He has energy
broad ideas and the courage to stand
UP for the right. AS business is what
! the press most sorely needs just now,
it is eminently fitting that the Asso-
citation should rally itself with the
body that files the banner of "Busi'
ness" at its masthead. * entuckv Re
