In the face Of the forbid of the best
xrammarians, its not infrequent to
10 hear some speaker or converse
tionaliSt using the verbs "hisself'
"'thsirself". In Ihe formation of this
slasss of words by adding self or its
plural selves, is net permissible
without changing the pronoun from
the possessivs to the third person
objective, towit: himself or them
selves. So always remember that in
doing this no violence is done to
your idea Of posssssive but it's the
more perfectly linguistically pre-
served and expressed. None of the
dictionaries Of our great English
language list the words "hisself"
aAd "theirselves" fer such words do
not properly exist.

SOME SENSIBLE OBSERVATIONS ON
PHAZES OF THE NEGRO PR0BLEM
by Sensible Negro.

Mr.. Editor:-I wish to thank the
people through the columns of your
valuable paper, for their liberal con
tributions to me, to buy a heater for
my school some time ago. This wa S
the first time that | have asked the
people to aid me and they responded
readily. | deem it proper to return
many thanks to these generous people
for their hberality, most especially
he white people who contributed
freely, and without the slightest hes
itation when they were called upon
to do so. Among those were the
lawyers, sheriff, doctors, merchants,
preachers, clerks, editor, bankers,
superintendent, druggist and others
who took active part in this con-
tribution.
l must give my race the same
credit. A white lady, to whose
brother | was hired when | didA.a
pretty fair days work gave and
complimented me highly-though
she said you have done no more
than you should. " Now l place my
people (race) in the same attitude
attributed to me by the lady and that
is this, those of my race who con-
tributed to this cause have done
what they should have done, though
I feel very grateful to all who have
shown their generosity in the con
tribution.
I am under the impression, that if
the Negro could see his future des-
tiny, he would admit to the fact,
that comparatively speaking, the
white man is his superior, fnan-
cially, etc., and that white suprem
acy has always prevailed in America,
and always will. 1t is q useless
waste of time to think that we will
ever again administer any part of
this government, where legal talent
is required, most especially in the
South, where he partly ruled tempo
rarily in the days of the scalawag
and carpet-bagger. The only hope
for US is to practice more morality,
industry, honesty, TRUTH uln.es S,
economy; obtain common educations,
save some money, pay all honest
debts, obtain homes, conceal no
mans wrong deeds, make no man a
goat and lastly use common
sense and stoop as we go through
this world.
I think that if the above is prop
erly carried out, the so-called race
problem will be greatly weakened if
not solved. Here is another solution.
If two thirds of the white citizens
of the South, had the same Christian
or Christ like spirit in them as a few
prominent white Christian gentle
men of Leakesville, Miss, haye there
would be comparatively little or no
friction between the races. These
gentlemen are as lnimlcal to social
equality as any other citizens south
of the Mason & Dixon line, though
their sentiments are based upon
equal justice to all men regardless of
nationality. If all Of the United
States were full of such men as those
mentioned above we would have a
paradise on earth among men, SO far
as friendship is concerned. This ]
hope to see at some early day.
With best wishes for peace and
prosperity.

A PLEA FOR MORE HIGH SCHOOLS

Editor of the Herald:
There are times in all our lives
when we dream dreams, and there
are also times when we are in the
mood to write them. Since reading
the Plea for Technical Education
in Mississippi, by Mr.. Muckenfuss
in the Mississippi School Journal
L have thought quite seriously, and
will feebly try to express what l
think and have thought, Mr., Muck
enfuss has thrown new light on this
important subject. and has very for
chilly to my mind, shown why we as
Southern people, are not up with our
northern brothers, in that our col
leges and universities are handicap
ped as it were, in turning out grad
yates equal to those of the north.
The grounds claimed for this, is in
the unprepared state of the appli-
cants to these Institutions caused by
the scarcity of high schools over the
country and the meager equipment
of those we have. The thing that
ptzzles me, is that the parents of
Greene County, say, can see where
it is cheaper to send their children
from the paternal roof, even early
rather than throw this money toward
building up good high schools in our
own midst The money Will not
only be kept at home but the .school
will bless the community and be of
untold benefit to those coming later.
The plea of Mr. Muckenfuss is for
a mechanical. training as well as lit
erary and agricultural. 1t is true
that the mechanical powers of our
sons lie dormant in the intellect, be-
cause in their early training nothing
has been SAID or done that might
kindle the fire that will shine in
Southern factories that are now
shining in Northern. l have no col
eye experience but reason teaches
me that this gentleman is RIGHT.
Give us at least one we'll equipped
high school in every county in Miss
ississippi--l will say just here that
equipped is not covered by neat
house and it we'll seated. That is
the foundation only. Some will say:
but o! the cost" Well yes that is
an item; but say, how much is this
county paying to other parts for
work that properly belongs to the
high school? Have we anything that
we prize highly for which we have
paid nothing? Do we not owe it to
our country? and again, when shall
we cease to dance to northern mtsic?
Our colleges have a preparatory
department and they have found it
an impossibility to get or without.
Against these departments is the
subject of this plea for high schools.
This short course, and ] mean what
/ say, given at college is not best
because owing to the expense at
tached to attending college, the
course is the shortest possible route
to the collegiate course. There can
be no question about this and we do
not need to go there to see it,
Were this work done at home when
time is not so expensive, and in
good high school the foundation
would be broad and we'll grounded.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1909-04-09

The public sentiment which has
boiled and dubbed to the surface IN
late months touching law enforce
nent, is crystalizing into a move
msnt in the shape of leagues devoted
10 the agitation of this very lmpor-
eant subject and the prosecution of
Efforts to arouse the public consci-
encs TO a vigorous enforcement OF
the laws irrespective of class through
their chosen officers. The officers
eater Office through the route of the
political field and usually keep their
ears to the ground ready to be COY
srnsd by. the voice of the people.
The people should raise a clamor
for. their wishes at all times, and
their wishes should ever be guided
by right and righteous laws.

all the papers of today were managed

not be a great while till the moral
tone of society would be greatly i'm

preachers in their reformatory work
and especially in the advocacy OF
temperance and prohibition, find 1t
necessary to fight some OF the news

ter enemies of the public good,
With no little interest | have
watched your course, and read your
editorials as a young educator OF
public thought and I am glad to SAY
that have not found you at any
time on the wrong side of any moral
question. You deserve the general
support of all the people of Greene

in any and every home in the coanty.
