satisfaction of all concerned the at.

would be a success. At the hour of

seekers for knowledge stared him in

NEGRO DOLLS DIsPLAcE WHITE
ONES.

In special letter dated from Ocala,
Fla, Jan. 23rd, the information reached
Nashville that thorough canvass of
the state of Florida was convincing
all that Negro dolls would be used ex-
clusively among the Negroes in the
peninsula state from now on Much
interest has been created in the state
of Florida on the Negro doll question
from the fact that at least one half
dozen baZaars we're held during the
month of December, one being on new
years day. Then, too, two very active
women have been at work crystaliz-
ing sentiment in favor of the doll idea
One of them is Mrs. jamie Morris, of
Mama, Fla, who Is prominent church
worker, a woman who is acquainted
with national affairs. It Is learned
that she alone sent in orders for near
ly $4,000 worth of dolls during the
holidays. The other is in the per-
son Of Miss e. B. Delaney, the re-
turned missionary from Africa,
very cultured woman, a graduate of
one of the best schools In the south.
Miss Delaney was in Nashville Just
before the holidays en- route to Wash
ington, D. G. While here she placed
third order for the Negro dolls, and
they were shipped to Florida. Since her
return to her home she has gone over
the state visiting the principal points
She writes emphatically, "The people
this side are frantic over the Negro
dolls and from the outlook there will
not be much sale for the white dolls"
Miss Delaney is very conservative and
can scarcely be induced to make a
statement until she is positively con-
vinced Of the facts in the case. The
National Negro Doll Company Of this
city acknowledges that although the
holidays are over, there is a constant
demand from many sections Of the
United States for the dolls. They are
shipping them every week to the va
rious parts Of the United States, they
state they are prepared to fill any or
der Immediately, which is encourag.
ing and which says much for Nash
ville's new enterprise. Thousands of
people throughout the country will be
glad to know that they can now secure
dolls for their children. If a child re-
reives a doll now it possibly means
the Saving of the best wine for the
last. Its joy will be all the more
because Of the distance from the holi-
days.

With a $4,000 charter and $16,7O0
already paid in, in cash, the National
Sick and Accident Insurance Com
pany, with headquarters at Indianola,
Miss, has the distinction of being one
among the first complete life insur-
ance companies with real life insur-
ance charter In the United States.
There are quite a number of industrial
insurance concerns and fraternal in
surance organizations doing business
! in many of the Southern states, but
there has not been, as yet, any abso-
lutely high-class life insurance COM
pany before chartered. Thus Missis-
sipppi, and particularly the historic
and noted city of Indianola, furnishes
big asset to the already increased
business activity in the State of Mis-
sissippi. The plan which the insur-
ance company will operate will be
practically that of standard or old-line
| life insurance companies, affording the
same protection. While they will not
write policies for over $4,000 at pres
ent, they promise to give the most far
reaching protection and insurance fea-
lures The State of Mississippi, before
granting the charter, demanded a de-
posit of $16,700, which was immediate
| ly made The company will not open
for business before some time in April,
and by this time they propose to put
up $4,000 more as further guaran-
tee. No effort has been made to keep
any member of the race from being
identified with this movement. One
of the prime movers of the company
| is the noted bank promoter, w. W.
Cox, who is interested in three banks
in the State of Mississippi and is
prominent in Odd Fellow and Masonic
circles. In speaking to your CORE
spondent on the matter Mr.. Cox said,
eve have put the stock of the insur-
ance company on the market at 500
per share in order that our people may
have an opportunity to come into a
safe Investment Yet the company is
not now entirely dependent upon the
sale of any more stock to outsiders, as
we arranged that matter before apply
ing for charter. You can say that
we will write as good policy, backed
up by as strong company as any in
the Southland. OF course, our opera
tions for the first years will be con-
fined to policies ranging from $500 to
$4,000" "No, we don't expect to
write many $4,000 policies" was his
reply in response to a question on the
subject. "The majority of our poll
cies will be the size of those generally
written by companies for our people
from $500 to $4,000 The Negroes Of
this state have shown by their ad-
vanced business attention, with re-
spect to mercantile business. banks,

A good part of this city alone is owned

About the Complexion.

When overWrought or overworked
nerves refuse to perform their proper
functions the complexion is one Of
the first Of the outward signs. The
circulation Of the blood being poor
the skin assumes an unhealthy color
and the impurities seek the surface
in pimples instead Of being properly
carried off in The blood.
Miss Schoolgirl, when she sees her
complexion grow worse and worse
and discovers that even total alb
stinence from sweets fails to help
matters, spends sorrowful hours be-
fore her mirror-that is, if she can
spare time from her studies; but she
does not always realize that instead
of spending time in a fruitless effort
to vanquish an increasing array Of
blackheads and hollis she could use
that time to advantage in getting a
little more fresh air and exercise.
Then her complexion, as well as her
brain, would show improvement.
A brisk walk after school hours, d
well ventilated room ii which to
study at home plenty of air in the
sleeping room, a foot tub bath q night
with q bath brush and a cold sponge
in the morning, will do wonders in
restoring foggy brains to say nothing
of cloudy complexion.

MORE CONVICTS FOR De SOTO.
EoR Working sixty Oh Model Rehabilitation,
al Ten Having Seen SEMI.

Mansfield few days since the
committee in charge Of the construc-
ton Of the model road near this
place, decided that with the same
guards and attendants they could
work ten additional convicts, with
only the cost Of feeding them added
to the expense bill, and so wrote
Governor Sanders, and within three
days the additional conyicts arrived
from Baton Rouge, and they are now
working go men instead Of so. This
experiment was undertaken by a
number Of public spirited citizens
to test, at their own expense, the
actual cost Of building a model road,
and the Governor seems to be deter
mined that they shall have a fair
chance to test the matter. The first
mile was over q red clay hill-the
highest point in the state-Which was
cut down about six feet for 500 feet,
and a FIJI made III the valley Of about
the same dimensions. The soil was
red clay and very hard, and had to be
broken up with three yoke Of oxen,
and the test was q severe one. The
grades as made BY the state engi-
neers are being strictly followed BY
q United States engineer and the
work supervised BY q good road ex-
pert from Washington.

new COTTON PEST.
The Mexican Flea Seems to be Doing More
Damage 70 Cotton Than the Boil Weev!E.

Logansport. Farmers report that
2 new pest, known as the Mexican
flea, has appeared in great numbers
IN their fields and that they are doing
more damage to the cotton than the
boil Weeyils. It attacks the new
squares on the cotton plants and
causes each one that it bores
into to die and drop off. The insect
is described as being a small brown
bug about the size Of a lightning bug
II two sections Of about equal sizes.
The head part IS almost as long as
the body section. The name flea IS
given It for the reason that when il
moves it hops ike an ordinary flea
only it can hop q much greater dis
lance. Very little is known Of the
origin and habit Of this bug. From
reports received from the farmers
who have discovered the feas in their
cotton crops, the indications are that
it will prove to be equally as hard to
exterminate as the boil weeyil.
