DICKINSON APPEALS TO SOUTH

Hon. Jacob McGayock Dickinson,

his FIRST public appeal to the people
OF the South TO cooperate with the
President in his efforts TO carry out
the policies OF the new administrd.
tion. The occasion was reception
given the secretary by the Southern
Club at the Auditorium Annex Ia
Chicago, and as Judge Dickinson is
not only n Southerner, but native
Columbian, our people will be glad To
read synopsis OF his address, which
smacks OF the sincerity which always
characterized the actions as well as
the utterances OF this truly great and
good man. In referring to the South
the speaker said;
"The next few years should be a
period OF great development 10 the
South. 4 higher respect for the law,
a greater observance OF order, should
and will follow. The prevalence OF
kindlier sentiment which will bring
about "A greater tolerance OF differ.

much disposed to resent criticism
from the outside and TO stine 1t at

fluence in shaping the destinies OF the
South than they have hitherto. More
aud more are we realizing the neces.
sity for cooperation.

PUBLIC HANsMGs.

Jackson News.
It has been stated that q bill will be
introduced at the next session Of the
Mississippi Legislature TO do away
with public hanuings, and have con-
demued criminals eIectrocuted.
The measure, it Is understood, will
provide that ali executions take place
either In Jackson g. {. At oas OF thf
State farms, under the supervisiod n
the warden Of the prison; that when
the fate OF condemned men 10 the
various counties IL finally determined,
they be sent under guard to the place
of electrocution, and there put u
death 10 private.
The idea is one worthy OF serious
consideration, and it is TO be hoped
that it will be given q thorough die
cussion 10 the State press prior to the
next legislative assembly.

Some Of the Jackson mathemati-
clans figure that the assessment Of all
property in Mississippi this year will
total 1920, 100000 1t seems incredi.
BILE and yet the records bear out the
statement that ia 1899 the total was
slsS, 293, 099, showing gain OF 1913 per
cent, in ten years. This, we opine, is
record hard TO beat 10 an old set
