DONALD FoR CONGRESS.

Jones County News.
DR.. ]. D. Donald, mayor of the
neighboring city of Hattiesburg, is be-
ing urged by his friends to enter the
race for Governor at the next state
election He would make the state
an excellent chief-executive, and The
News would be glad to see him elect
ed.
But
South Mississippi's chances for the
Governorship are rather slim-and we
would regret exceedingly to see Dr.
Donald defeated.
This section of the state needs a
congressman just now more than I,
needs a Governor-and DR.. Donald
seems to be the most available man
for the place.
The present incumbent has never
done anything for his constituents out
side of one or two coast counties, AMI
the rest of the district is anxious for
a change.
Knowing DR.. Donald as we do, and
recognizing his preeminent fitness for
the place, We want to urge him to
make the race, and to pledge to him
without the asking-whatever influ-
ence this newspaper may possess with
the people of Ellisville and Jones
county.
After a term or two in Congress
if he still has gubernatorial aspira-
perhaps South Mississip-
pi can press his claims with some
hope of success.

as to covet the possession OF rae-
ton of the beasts skull cannot them
selves be far removed from the kin
ship of the brute. There is a way to
do everything, and there is also a way
to forget some things which have
been done and let us earnestly endeay-
or to keep ourselves superior to the
negro in every particular, morally.
socially, mentally and physically. This
can only be done by exercising the
faculty of common sense and apply
ing to ourselves the doctrine Of SUI
periority which we preach to he ne
gro. Give him a chance to point the
finger of criticism at members of the
white race for exercising passions foI
which he has been condemned, and the
negro is armed with a weapon of which
he cannot easily be dispossessed. l
may take generations to overcome thu
bad effects of the Monroe affair, ant
it is to be hoped that such demonstra
tions will not be repeated.

RACE SUICIDE A BLESSING.

Once more DR.. Woods Hutchinson
has come to the rescue of our much
abused civilization. In September
| Woman's Home Companion, he points
out that not only are all wrong about
the race-suicide problem, but there
isn't any.
According to DR.. Hutchinson, the
whole question is befogged by miscon
ceptions. He says the question is not
new one, but is very old. An in
creasing population is a sign of civil.
ization. AS for our immediate fore
fathers, they can claim no credit fo1
large families, for they either gave
no thought to the question at all or
else welcomed children as future
bread-winners.
To sum up, he says. 81 believe
that the evidence is conclusive that
race suicide, so far as it has yet gone
has proved an almost unmixed bless
ing instead of a curse; that the race
can never again return to the method
of blind and wholesale production
without thought of the future. No
class. or group in the community
which believes itself worthy to exist
can of course view with equanimitv
any prposal to limit the offspring OF
marrisge to less than three or such
number as may be necessary to Sc
cure the survival of that quota to
adult age, so that the second genera
ton may be at least a trifle more
numerous than the first.
con he other hand, biologic moral
ity, while deprecating the production
of children, who are likely to be born
unfit, or become so from lack of the
proper support and training, glorifies
and exalts as both the highest racial
duty and the most precious individual
privilege the bearing of children by
those who are personally fit to bear
and financially competent to rear
such as will be of value to the state.
There is no achievement better worth
living for, no more valuable legacy
that can be left to the future, no more
enduring claim to honorable remem-
brance, than a family of well-born,
well-reared children.
cat the same time there is a grow
ing tendency to encourage and pro-
mote in every possible way the mar
rage at a reasonable early age Of
Young people, who are particularly as
uture ancestors, to use Hiberni-
ism. Some day possibly we may be
ome sufficiently intelligent to endow
his sort of matrimony with state
unds. At all events, an intelligent
ERECTION of race fertility, by selection
+ parents and rational limitations of
he number of children, will be the
ath of future progress"

OFFICERS CAPTURE
A BAD negro

Officers Norwood and Moore sue
ceeded this morning in landing be-
hind the bars another fugitive from
justice. Some days ago the police
department received letter from the
civil authorities of Utah, Ala, asking
them to keep on the lookout for one
Allen Bragg, a colored man wanted
there for getting money under false
pretenses.
The negro had been in town only Il
few hours when he was spotted and
a close observation was made as to
where he stayed and his general de-
meanor. Having every assurance
that the negro was the right coon,
they went to his lodging house and
arrested him early this morning.
He gave the police his name as
John Bevell Allen at first and later
on told them that his right name was
Allen Brag. He was placed in the
city Jail to await the arrival of the
Alabama authorities.

speaker of the day was announced
This gentleman had recently returned
from abroad, where he had been re-
from his arduous work in
behalf of temperance. Smilingly &C
his tumultuous reception,
this speaker at once plunged into tie
pleasant events of his foreign trip.
In the midst of this interesting maj
ration a lady delegate from a rural
district sprang to her feet, her e!
blazing.

this!" she cried, glazing at the nara

"Sit down."

Il won't sit down." declared the
irate delegate, sending a sco"nful
glance at her fellow members. Il say
it's a shame, a disgrace and deplora-
bic thing for that man, who poses as
an apostle of temperance and hatnr
of ginshops, to stand up there and dc
hberately tell us that on his way
across the Atlantic he spent many de-
lightful evenings in the ships saloon"

Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

Just what satisfaction the people
of Monroe, La, derived from burning
the body of the negro desperate who
shot up the town it is difficult to i'm
agine, for they are supposed to be
a civilized community. The insensate
exhibition was given despite the pro-
test of the mayor, who was himself
one of the engros victims yet wished
to save the city from the reproach OF
so barbarous a ceremony.-Meridian
Dispatch.
In connection with the above comes
the information that citizen of Me-
ridian has rece we'd through the mail
from a friend in Monroe a piece OF
the skull of the negro who was killed
and burned.
In the name of all that is decent
and respectable, what is the South
coming to if the white people cannot
control their passions? We condemn
the negro for manifesting evidences
of beast nature, yet when one of that
race has been found guilty of crime
white people will persist in making
brutes of themselves resorting to
practices which are most contempt
decency and self respect. If such
practices as this are to continue, what
are we to expect of the negro? We
do not burn mad dogs adm rattle
snakes and preserve pieces of their
skulls for souvenirs, neither do we
gloat over the manner in which they
are put to death They are simply
killed and forgotten, and there is not
the slightest reason why the same
course should not be pursued in dis
posing of desperate negro criminal.
Such evidences of savage nature as
were manifested by supposedly decent
and respectable citizens of Monroe
will forever operate against an intel
1igent solution of the race problem
in the South. And this is not the only
instance recorded where white people
have allowed their passions and preju-
dices to undermine reason and lead
them on to the commiss on of out.
RACES against every sense of refine
nent and culture. The more conserv-
tive of the agitators of qustions con-
erning the solution of the race prob
EN- are set back ten years every time y
n occurrence of this kind is recorded,
,r If the white people are not capable
governing and conctrolling their pas .,
ons, what can we expect of the ne a,
%? C.
The people who participated in the
Irning affair at Monroe exhibited
licences of savagry which were not
ualled by the brute whom they dc
Dyed, and those who are so depraved sd

WELCOME INFORMATION.

In another column will be found a
notice saying that Congressman e. j.
Bowers will be in Hattiesburg Mon
day and will talk to the people at the
court house, at three o'clock on the
subject of the proposed postoffice
building and the Leaf river survey.
The News feels SIRE that it is not
violating any confidence when it says
that this will be welcome information.
We have heard some time ago that
Gulfport had started work on a Fed
eral building, though it in not in the
same class as Hattiesburg and could
not have needed a building any worse
for the accommodation of the business.
We feel sure that our people will ap-
preciate the information, which will
enable them to appreciate that Hat.
tiesburg is so small and has such
small chances of growing in the flu
ture, that her postoffice building need
not be any larger than is being pro-
vided for second and third class Off
ces in other towns. Inasmuch as the
News feels sure that our citizens will
either feel called on to avoid the
postoffice when showing the city to
strangers, or apologize for its insig-
nificance, in comparison to the build
ings at Jackson, Meridian and other
cities the size of Hattiesburg, we
would suggest to Mr.. Bowers that he
suggest how this apology may be
made with the least embarrassment.
In return for this information The
News will impart a little intelligence,
that may interest our congressman.
The first is that Hattiesburg is in the
running for a Federal Court. We may
as well make our wishes known now
as any time. Our location and the in
terests of the people of South Missis-
sissippi demand it. Another bit of in
formation is that our people have
such confidence in the practical navi-
cation of Leaf river that they will ex-
pect it to be improved. We have been
a little information as to
how they do things in other. places,
and liking their ways, we will make
them our own.
So far as we can see, Hattiesburg
has been getting the egg shells, while
that part of the fruit, on which the
value is placed has gone elsewhere
This is a very important time in
the affairs of Hattiesburg. It is the
time to talk plain and to the point.
The attitude of the congressman of
the district toward our aspirations is
very important Located in the geo.
center of the district we
ought to be able to exert enough influ-
ence to get what we want and we
should not hesitate to make plain
what we want Any assurance from
Mr.. Bowers, that we can get what we
want so far as he is concerned will

who recently went on a strike at the
Pressed Steel Car Works, today quit
work and marched in a body to the
bank of the Ohio river where they
