AMERICANS LIKE PARROTS.

If there is one bird more offensive
than the canary it is the parrot. But
Americans seem to like parrots and a
famous Fleet street ayern, which
attracts Americans with vague mem
cries of DR.. Johnson, pleases them
with the constant Shrek of a parrot
You can teach a parrot any creed,
from that of the Peculiar Baptist to
that of the tariff reformer. But when
it shrieks its prejudices over the din
ner table this writer wants to know
whether licensed premises carry a
license to shoot parrots. One sup.
poses that the only charm about a
parrot is that it may talk sence by
mistake.-From the London Chroni.

Other South Mississippi Paper
THAT CARRIAGE AFFAIR.

The News is in receipt of an anony-
nous letter, the writer wanting to
know something more of the case
wherein a yonug girl was tried in the
police court recently on a charge of
drunkenness, mention of which was
made in the news columns of this
paper at the time of the occurrence.
1t will be remembered that not very
long ago a young girl was found by
police officers alone in hack on Pine
street, at an early hour in the morning,
apparently in an intoxicated condition.
The young woman was taken in charge
by the officers and carried to the
police station and a charge of drunk
enness lodged against her. In the
trial which followed it developed that
the young woman and her mother
were on their way to Laurel, where
they expected to get work in a cotton
factory, and had stopped off in Hat
tiesburg enroute from Jackson, Miss
While here at a station of one of the
railroads, they made the acquaintance
of two young men, it was stated, Who
invited the younger woman to take
carriage ride with them, to which prop
osition she readily agreed. 1t ap-
pears that the mother gave her con-
sent to the proposition, and went to
a local rooming house to await the re-
turn of her daughter The daughter
did not return, but was later found in
a hack ON one of the prominent streets
of the city in state Of stupefaction.
The mother called at the police sta
tion early next morning, it is said,
and there found her daughter. The
young woman could not give an in
telligent description of the young men,
it is stated, consequently no charge
was preferred against anyone.

THE HOMELY POTATO.
Its Origin, Development and Neraest
Relatives in Vegetables.

From the Dayton News.
The origin of the potato was prob
ably due to the fact that a part of
the stalk became bruised, thus caus-
ing a sort of stoppage to the flow Oh
starch which the roots were sending
up into the stalk. 1t became buried
in the earth, perhaps, through the
rains beating upon it, and as the
starch was deposited at the obstruc-
ton, an enlargement of tuber was
formed. The seed from the knotty
stalk naturally produced plants that
tended to have tubers upon them
and so on until the well-deyeloped po-
tato came into existence.
In this connection it might be stated
that the tomato plant and the tobacco
plant are of the same family as the
potato, showing plainly that at one
time in the evolution of plant life
there was but a single parent of all
three. Indeed, it would be possible, in
the course of time, to develop any one
of the plants from the other and Luz
Their Burbank has succeeded in blend
ing the tomato until he has produced
vegetable that is neither the one or
the other, but having some of the
qualities of each.
Another thing about the potato that
may appear curious to those who do
not understand chemistry is that po-
tato which grows above the ground
is poisonous, You have possibly seen
potatoes growing at the roots Of a |
plant where they were partly exposed |
to the light. If you have, you have
noticed no doubt, that they were
green and if you have tested the part
Of the potato in the light, you have
llso discovered that it was very bitter
lot unlike the taste of green tobacco

The call for the farm is continually
becoming more and more insistent in
our southland. The young men are
deserving the old homesteads to find
fame and fortune in the cities and
the problem is becoming a serious
one. Industrial and agricultural edu-
cation have not seemed to help the
situation a great deal Mississippi,
particularly South Mississippi, would
welcome an influx of good industrial
farmers as an asset of no mean i'm
portance.-Biloxi Herald.

SHALL The
NEGRO Be
EDUCATED
Alabama Lawmakers Are Wrestling
With the Problem Of an Equitable
Division of School Funds.

MONTGAMERY, Ala, August 90
Back to other days went the senate
today, when the resolution of Mr.. Rey-
nolds, looking to appropriating school
money on a basis of attendance was
taken up On an effort of the author
to get it from the adverse calendar
Mr.. Thmas, of Barbour, Mr.. Reese
of Dallas. and Mr.. Horton, of Greene,
all defended the black belt, which is
said to be getting far more than it's
share of the school money, taking at
tendance as a basis.
ment of the negro in the black belt
is task that the people of that sec
ton must meet, in the interest of An
glo-Saxon supremacy. He thought It
not at all becoming in Mr.. Reynolds
to thus attempt to hinder or retard
the work they were doing there. He
did not argue that there is more
money to the white child there than
in other sections, but he did say that
what they were doing there was neces-
sary, and with the entire approval of
those familiar with the situation. He
said that Mr.. Reynolds unconsciously
was coming the Crumpacker act In
Alabama. ~ ..s---.-. - IA -
Mr.. Reese recalled other days wher
the black belt sent to the north such
men as JOHN T. Morgan and E. w.
Pettus to help out in the fight on car
pet baggers and scalawags, ara said
that Dallas had no apologies to make
for it's course. His people were ever il
the van for better ard truer conditions,
and there was no reason why it should
be held up as a part of the state dong
things that it is not righteous to do
On Dangerous Ground.
Plain talking was INDUCED in by
both Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Reese. The
necessity to disfranchise the negro
had been met, and the days of sup
pressing his vote gone, but the black
belt is now and ever will be the
friend of the white race, the defender
of the best blood and the promoter Of
pure Democracy Neither Of the
speakers thought Mr., Reynolds intend
ed any reflection, but they felt that
he was on dangerous ground.
Mr.. Reynolds, though fighting a los
ing fight, stood by his guns, showing
many figures to show how the schools
of the white section were not getting
what they would if there was a dis
tribution based on the actual enroll
ment and attendance. He loses in this
his two great efforts for schools, his
compulsory education measure hav-
ing been defeated before. Howeve:
he is going to keep on fighting for
what he thinks right in the schools.

South or East Mississippi, accord
ing to the Meridian Dispatch, should
have a ribbon cane farm on which
convicts could raise cane and molas-
ses could be made. Experiments here
have demonstrated that it is no idle
boast that some sections of Mississip-
pi can raise cane, and whether exploit
ed by convict labor or not, the ndus-
try is one that should become thirty
ing one in this section.-Biloxi Herald.

The Boy and His Dog.

The Soy and His Dog
Daily News.
Since Hattiesburg has introduced
into her official life the title og dog
catcher" and in view of the waif in
the land, not of Rachael weeping for
her children" but of boys and girls |
weeping for the trouble that has come |
into their young lives. because their
noble pets have been outlaved and |
since the Humane Society has been
called into service to mitigate tne
cruel horrors of our weekly dog
slaughter, believe it good time for
emphasizing a noble sentiment as eX
pressed by the late Senator Vest Of
Missouri, who pays to mans faithful
friend a well deserved tribute in
the following language:
"The best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him and be
come his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and good name, may become traitors
to their faith. The money that a
man has he may lose. 1t flies rom
him perhaps when he needs it most
A mans reputation may be sacrificed
in moment of ill considered action.
The people who are prone to fail on
their knees to do us honor when sue
p cess is with us may be the first TO
throw the stone of malice when fail
ure settles it's cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that a man can have in this selfish
world, the one that never deserts him,
the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty, in health and in sickness,
He will sleep on the cold ground
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drives fiercely, if only he may
be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to Of
fer. He will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as If
he were a prince. When all other
frineds desert, he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation falls
to pieces, he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey through
the heavens. If fortune drives the
master forth an outcast in the world,
and homeless, the faithful
dog asks no higher privilege than that
of accompanying him, to guard against
danger, to fight against his enemies.
And when the last scene of all comes
and death takes the master in it's en-
brace and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by his
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes
sad but open in alert watchfulness,
faithful and true even in DEATH
(Signed) THE FRIEND OF THE
BOY AND HIS DOG.

1t is known, however, that the po-
lice have pretty good idea of the
identity of the culprit, but up to this
time, so far as can be learned no
steps have been taken to bring them
to Justice. This state of affairs is to
! be deplored. Admitting that the
young woman was guilty of fragrant
indiscretion in accepting the young
mems invitation; that the mother was
careless and Indifferent and disregard
ed the rules of propriety in allowing
her daughter to accept the attentions
of total strangers, still this does not
warrant the treatment received by the
young woman at the hands CT the young
men. While the girl acknowledged
having drunk the whisky which was OF
| fered her, she could not remember
what happened afterwards, and the
condition in which she was found by
the police officers leads one to be-
lieve that the whisky had been doc
tored.'
What occurred while the young wo-
man was in this state of insensibility
before she was deserted by her COM
panions, is a matter of conjecture, but
the conclusion is obvious. Young men
do not take strange women out for a
drive at night through motives of
courtesy and politeness.
What is to be done about this mat
ter? Who is responsible? Whose
duty is it to find out the particulars
in affairs of this kind? Are they to
be allowed to continue? Has the mat
ter been entirely dropped, and the
hoodlum element given license to ply
their diabolical practices without in
reference of any kind? This report
has gone out from Hattiesburg and is
reflecting discredit upon the reputa-
ton of the city. The News does not
attempt to place the responsibility, but
it will say unequivocally that some
one is responsible, and this matter
should be sifted to the very dregs I'M
til the efacts in the case are brought
to light. If such things are allowed
to pass unnoticed, respectable women
will be afraid to go out on the streets
at might %..ns.c.cccomnanied and the rail
way stations VIII be stunned by theh'
as plague spots. This ought not to
be. When it comes to the point where
the women of the South have to be
accompanied by bodyguard in order
to receive courteous treatment at the
hands of white men, something ought
to be done and done quick.
Hatiesburg is not bad town. There
is no place in the world where the
woman is respected more than here,
and but few of our citizens would hes
itate to sacrifice their personal safety
in order to protect a lady. But such
as the one mentioned are
liable to happen anywhere, and it is
necessary in order to prevent a repe-
tition of such conduct to investigate
this affair and the News hopes that
the facts in the case will be brought
out so clearly that the outside world
may know that Hattiesburg is no
refuge for hoodlums and irresponsl'
oles.
