in Georgia are denounced for their sup
posed laziness. When they find work
to do for which they are capable,
white prejudice forbids their employ
ment. There is no reason why they
should not make good firemen, and
there is no very we'll defined COM
plant that they do not. The complaint
seems to be solely against the one
thing that hey cannot change their
color.
1t is easy to say that the railroad
company ought not to submit to such
intolerance, or that the State author
tiles ought to protect the negro fire
men at all hazards. But if the engi-
neers simply will not work and the
sentiment of the community is with
them, it is hard to see what either
the railroad company or the authorities
are going to do about it. Nor can we
in the North afford to throw many
stones at the narrow-minded Georgians
remembering what a poor chance we
have given the negro even here. We
can only hope that our belief in the
strengthening reign of reason in the
South shall not prove to have been
wholly vain

THE DEBTS WE OWE.
(Newton Record.)

fNeWtOn RecOrd.)
One of the great faults of the aver
age young man of today is the way he
contracts debts and the carelessness
he shows in meeting his obligations.
1t has a very demoralizing effect on
his character, and until the young
man learns to dread debt as he would
a foe. he will never be successful in
any calling. There is rarely ever any
need for a young man going into debt,
and he should never buy something
on a credit that he does not need. 1t
would be better to actually go hungry
than to make unnecessary debts,
though it is a rare thing that such a
denial would be necessary to an hon
est and energetic person. In speak
ing of debt an exchange truly breaches
The attitude a man maintains to-
ward his financial liabilities is sure
indication of his character. If he is
worried and anxious about how and
when ne can meet MS Dllls, IL 10 Solo
to set him down as one who will make
strenuous effort and personal sacri
fices to cancel obligations, financla
or otherwise If he is complacentN
Indifferent to the rights of his cred
itors and unmindful of their conven
fence, you may set him down in th'
doubtful long pay column, and aYoi'
him as the leprosy, if you desire peac
of mind from a business standpoint.
If a man in cheerful and jolly owe
his debts. and impudent to his unfor
tunate creditors, place him in tn
column of irresponsibles, for his con
science has been entombed with III
honor, and nothing short of mlracl
will resurrect it.

NORTHERN VIEW OF GEORGIA
STRIKE.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The strike of the engineers upon the
Georgia Railroad is altogether OUTSIDE
the ordinary range Of industrial trou'
bles. and represents a condition to
which the ordinary rules of economic
Justice do not apply. 1t is the more
disturbing because the striking engl'
neers not only are sustained by thelr
union. but apparently are sustained by
the public opinion of the vicinage
They will not run their engines with
negro firemen, and until the railroad
company shall replace all the negro
firemen with white men no trains
shall be moved.
The Southern railroads have had
MANY difficulties to overcome, but this
persistent race prejudice is the most
perplexing. The unfortunate negroes

vertise it and attract the intelligent
and energetic from every community,
who are looking for a chance to better
their condition. Every day that we
allow to pass without making an effort
to settle up our cut-over lands is a
day wasted and most regretful we are
are to say it, it is waste compounded.
If we could interest every force pos
sible, to get an immigration movement
started, it would be two years befort
we could see any appreciate results
Of the development, in increased ag-
ricultural products and until that time
arrives we cannot say that We have
done anything except get ready; in
the meantime those who are doing
the development must live on re-
cources not created in this section. A
proper conception of those facts ought
to be impressed ON every one in sym
pathy with the progressive spirit,
which is necessary TO develop our re
sources, and the best of all we have,
should be secured by the people WHO
are here now. While it is true that
We must have outside capital to
develop our lands to start with.
we must not overlook the fact that We
can get this money if we show our
capacity for handling it and can prove
it, that we have resources which Il :
veloped will pay back every dollar in
vested with reasonable profit to the
investor.
Dr. Lowey is is right whrn he says
that the man who cannot succeed in
Mississippi, cannot succeed anywhere
and the sooner our people fully apps
ciate this fact the sooner they will
stop wasting opportunities and pre-
pare to make the most of their heri-
tage which is theirs today but may
be taken by strangers tomorrow.

AUDITOR is ALSO MAILING
SCHOOL FUND VOUCHERS.
The Distribution in June Will Be $416,-
666.66, or One Third of the Total
Appropriation for the Year.

JACKSON, May 29-Auditor Smith
is sending out the annual batch of Con-
federate pension application blanks to
the chancery clerks of the various
counties, to be furnished those vete-
rams and widows who are entitled to
pensions from the state, but who have

in the state, about one-third being vet
Grams, one-third widows and the re-
naming third divided between the two
preferred classes with fixed stipula-
lions of 1925 and $75 each, blind wild
ows and servants. There are about
500 in these preferred classes, and
they get their stipulated pensions,
while the remainder of the $4,000 ap
propriated for this year is to be pro
rated among the remaining classes.
Payment is not to be made, howev
err until Nov. LIST, the present prelim

year, two-thirds of the appropriation

June distribution for their salaries 70

GOING TO WASTE.

The News regrets that there were
not more grown people and less child
rem at the Auditorium last night, tc
hear the commencement address By
DIR. Lowery, who said many things
which should appeal to the practical
business men of Hattiesburg. He
mentioned some Of the glowing tales
of the opportunities in Oklahoma and
said that the man who could not get
rich In Mississippi, need not expect 20
succeed anywhere and that what gave
him the most concern was the fear
that the people of Mississippi did not
appreciate their opportunities and that
some one else would come along and
get that which belongs to Mississip-
plans, who should prepare now to-
take the advantage of the unexampled
opportunities which were all around
them.
This is just what the News is daily
trying to impress on the people of Hat
tiesburg. hence our regret that more
of the practical business men OF the
city could not have been present to
listen to his common-se1se talk. Our
