The Statue OF The cciored Citizen.

The status of the colored people
has been fixed by legislative en-.
actmenl and the Legislation was
based on justice and from a spirit
of righteousness.
The Legislators did not have in
mind any special favor for the CO.
Iored man simply because the col.
ored man is "colored''. but be-
cause it's the only recourse TO take
and presersve the principles Of
the organic Jaw.
AS citizens. he colored man is
subject to all the laws aud immun-
ties Of other citizens in the repub
tic.
The wealth, intelligence and
numerical strength should rule,
but only proportionately. The
negro has as much light to rule
IN proportion to his intelligence.
wealth and numerical strength as
any other set Of people.
The IL, Il, and 10 Amendments
are S f1lcacious to the average
white man as they are to the aver
age Negro and the sooner the
people recognize this as funde.
mental, the better for all The
people. One thing is certain:
every time one citizen is crushed
or mallreated, to that extent, the
whole people is crushed aid NAL.

Mrs. Barnett's Courage.

Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett is to be
highly Iauded for her courage ard
magninimity. She is lady in
whom We are justly proud. her
voice is ever heard in no uncertain
tones for her people and for right
whenever the occasion comes and
regardless of how acute he crisis.
She towers high above all Of
her male contemporaries and has
more of the aggressive qualities
than the average man. 1t beIittles
the men TO some extent, TO have
a woman come forward and do the
work that is naturally presumed
10 be that of the men, but Mrs.
Barnett never shrinks nor evades
she is an heroine of her age and
the nation is better off for her
having lived in it-long live Mrs.
Ida Wells Barnett.

Daily Papers Like Sensation and
Breed Friction.

The gel eral consensus of OPP ion
is that our daily papers are not
for the propagation of peace and
the maintenance of tranquility.
They are wont to stir up trouble
and eXaggerate every possible
thing, especially when the colored
man is concerned. Why hey do
so We are lot able to imagine.
When colored man is accused of
some crime, it Is always givin big
head lines and conspicuous
place. The opposite should be
true 1t is a travisly on justice
and an abomination IN the sight
Of decency, but the question is:
What is the object of the papers?
What consolation it to them?
are they so blind tn justice and
so cruel and prejudice on the ac-
count of mere racial differences?
Surely not.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

The new incumbent of the Hatties-
burg postoffice has already tried an
experiment that will be watched with
interest by the News.
He has put waste baskets in the
lobby of the postoffice hoping no
doubt, to induce the people to throw
their waste paper in the baskets In
stead of littering up the floor ana
making it look like some deserted
building so far as the floor is con-
cerned.
These waste baskets are step in
the right direction and we hope that
every business man in Hattiesburg
and every person who get their mail
and find something they do not wish
to carry away, will use these baskets
and show Mr. Collins that they ap-
preciate his wish to keep the lobby
more presentable.
If there is anything that Hatties-
burg needs very much, in the way Oh
a club, it is a civic club of some kind
which will educate and train our
people to not make public places
dump for waste paper. We feel sure
that the people of Hattiesburg could
be induced to be more careful if there
was an organized effort and that one
wears endeayor would work great
change in the appearance OF our
streets, alleys and vacant lots.
Municipal cleanliness begets moral
cleanliness; it makes life more attrac-
tive and decreases the danger OF DIS
ease and is the best advertisement
a CITY can maintain for strangers VINO
are seeking location.
One of the most striking points
about Mexican cities are their clean
illness. More trash can be found IN
one block in Hattiesburg than In the
whole business district of Monterey,
vet that a city, five times as large as
Hattiesburg spends little or nothing
for a street cleaning department.
Can't we help the postmaster by do
ing a little missionary work on the
outside which will make us more
thoughtful when we have waste paper
to dispose of inside the postoffice.

MRS. LOCKWOOD HoNoRED.

Mrs. Eunice Lockwood, of Crystal
Springs, who is largely responsible
for the handsome silver service soon
to be presented to the battleship Mis-
sissippi, has been elected superintend-
ent of the Masonic Widowss and Or
phans Home at Meridian.
This is an honor worthily bestowed
and The News congratulates the Ma
sonic fraternity and its trustees on
having acquired the services of one
so eminently worthy of any trust or
confidence within the gift of Missis-
sippians.
Mrs. Lockwood demonstrated her
splendid poise and amibility in the re-
cent lamented controversy over the
selection of the battleship service,
when she refused to be drawn into a
meaningless controversy with the 9th
er members of the commission, and
the fact that she was finally called
upon to select the service which she
raised the funds to provide was ex'
ceedingly gratifying to most Missis
sippians.

farmer, in the last few years, has
made farming much more respect
able and renumerative calling and we
are only just beginning to understand
the possibilities of industrial educa-
ton and how much it differs from
manual training, which is also val
liable adjunct to the schools in the
large cities.
We are entering upon an era which
calls for the man who can make two
blades of grass grow, where only one
has flourished heretofore. There is
probably no vocation or calling in
which so many people are engaged as
agriculture, in its numerous divisions,
yet there is less real knowledge of the
possibilities of agriculture, than any
other means of a livelihood open to
the average individual. 1t is high
time therefore for the farmer to begin
systematic efforts to prepare his child
rem to make the most of their heritage
and above all do something that will
keep the boys and girls on the farm in
stead of trying to make doctors, law
yers or unsuccessful storekeepers of
them.
The Importance of this movement
ought to be recognized in South Mis-
sissippi, because We are on the eve of
a great development and we ought to
be prepared to teach our cultiVators
of the soil how to get the most re.
suits from a small acreage and the
highest class products with the most
certainty.

STEVE WILLIAMS
Wants LIBERTY
HA6EAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS
ARE INSTITUTED.
Attorneys Claim That Justice OF
Peace Had No Right to Grant
Change of Venue.-Nice Legal Point
For Judge Cook.

Steve Williams, who was tried for
illicit retailing, fined $500 and sent
enced to thirty days in Jail by Justice
of the Peace ]. E. Davis at MiXon's
Graveyard in Beat Wednesday, is
not satisfied with the mandate of the
law as thus administered.
On the contrary, Steve has, through
his attorney, Mr.. Warren Upton, filed
habeas corpus proceedings with the
circuit clerk seeking his liberty, and
the case will be heard before Judge
w. H. Cook Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
1t will be remembered that Williams
was first arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Wall at the court house in
Hattiesburg on Saturday OF last week.
His attorney then claimed that fair
trial could not be secured in Hat
tiesburg and asked for a change of
venue: Out of the goodness of his
heart, without any thought Of assum-
ing to himself functions that were not
delegated to him by the statues of
the State. Justice Wall granted the re-
quest and the case was transferred
to the court of Justice of the Peace
]. E. Davis in Beat 2, where it was
tried Wednesday, as above stated, re-
sulting in verdict of $500 and thirty
days in the county Jail.
In the writ of habeaus corpus filed
today, and which will be heard before
Judge Cook tomorrow morning, it is
that changes of venue are not permit
ted in justice of the peace cases and
that Justice of the Peace Wall trans
cended his authority in transferring
the case to the jurisdiction of Justice
of the Peace Davis,
Had Justice wall transferred the
case to Justice Hardee, who is in the
same Beat, the trial would have been
legal. according to the opinion of the
attorneys. But he had no right to
transfer the case to another balliwick
for trial.
Judge Cook will be asked to set
aside tho verdict of Justice Davis and
restore Steve Williams to his liberty
In the event that the habeas corpus
is successful, it is said that Williams
will be Immediately re-arrested ant
that the fine will probably be larger
than before.

TEACHING METHODS.

President Eliot, of Harvard, who has
declined the enthusiastically to Great
Britain, recently had the following to
say regarding improved methods OF
teaching:
Forty years ago the university
trained men for the three traditional
ofessions-ministry law and med1-
cine. We now train them for every
learned and scientific profession. Ed
ucation is now got by doing the things
themselves. We have at Harvard
three instances of this great change
in teaching methods
"At Squam Lake, in New Hamp-
shire, the Harvard engineering camp,
men spend two months in the summer,
living the lives of working engineers.
We have a preserve at Peterson, n.
H., where men studying to be foresters
instead of learning from books, take
in hand the actual work. In Vermont,
so that our mining students may per-
feet themselves, we have control Of
part Of a copper mine, and there the
men work as actual miners for eight
weeks in the year.
I'm our law school men now learn
how to draw briefs. The lecture sys-
tenn is almost abandoned. Every stu
dent is now taught to do the things
his profession requires"

refers contemptuously to all mere men

disclaim being a biped, we presume
