Being a Negro is not as disadvan-
tageous as some would have us believe.
At least, the blue-vein fellow who had
passed as a white man in New York
State for several years did not think
so when he learned a few days ago
that a wealthy Negro relative had die.
He promptly set about to prove that
he was a Negro. This poor devil does
not deserve n cent of his black kins-
mans fortune.

The people of Tennessee can beat

from doing what they planned to do

and Nashville controversies over educa-
tional matters are splendid examples.

ANOTHER GOOD sermon
AT BROAD ST. CHURCH

The subject of the sermon last night
was 'The Wise Fool" The text was
1st Samuel 1921 and Luke 1920: 81
have sinned: behold have played the
fool "Thou fool this night thy soul
shall be required of thee" In a mas
terly and forceful way the preacher
showed how wise some men acted in
some things, but in others they would
play the fool. The man who trifles
with his conscience and his immortal
soul, making no provision for the fu-
ture is playing the part of fool. The
question that should concern all Is
"Am I rich towards God?" The SER
mon had good effect on the large con-
gregation, and a large number stood
up for prayer, saying they wanted to
be right with God.
The subject tonight will be "The
Hard Road to Travel" The seating
capacity of the church has been
greatly increased. Come early and
get a good seat. The meeting may
close in a day or two. Now is the
time to attend

TIGER CASES In
CIRCUIT COURT
City Attorney Sullivan Has His Hands
Full in Looking After City
Appeal Cases.

This is strictly blind tiger week in
the circuit court, and City Attorney
Sullivan has his hands full looking
after the city's interests in the large
number of blind tiger cases which
have been appealed from the city
court.
The cases being tried today are
those which resulted from the activi-
ties of Special Agent Adams about two
months ago, when he succeeded in
rounding up la ge herd of the blind
beasts and succe eded in convicting a
majority of them n the police court.
With but few exceptions, the cases
which have been worked up by spe-
cial agents have been appealed to the
circuit court and, as a result, there
were more than seventy cases on the
docket for this term.
County Attorney Hall, who is acting
District Attorney during the absence
of Attorney McLaurin, has succeeded
in securing convictions in a number
of appeal cases, and is making a Wig
orous effort to have the lower court

FARMER MAKES A
fine WHEAT CROP
Acreage in Vicinity Of Pheba, Miss,
is Large, and Prospects for Good
Yield is FIattering.

Special to The NelCS.
Maben, Miss, June 14.-Mr. Wilson
Ritch, of Pheba, one of the most pros
porous planters of that section, came
in Saturday and exhibited bunch of
wheat heads that were grown on his
place. He said the entire crop would
average inch heads, and some four.
"The farmers who have sown wheat
are much gratified at the outlook"
said Mr.. Ritch. 81 think there will be
yield of from twenty to thirty bush
els to the acre. The farmers of the
state are fast coming to the conclu-
sion that many other crops besides
cotton can be profitably raised here.
In fact this year has seen a greater
change in the diversification of crops
in Mississippi than ever before. AL
falfa, wheat, rice and corn are fast
taking the place of cotton

The Courts Opinion.

These cases, being governed by
practically the same principles, are
considered together.
The defendant was convicted in two
cases for the unlawful sale of intoxi-
eating liquors under the ordinances of
the city of Jackson, and appeals to
this court.
AS authorized by Section 3410, Code
of 1906, the municipal authorities
adopted a general ordinance making
all offenses against the criminal laws
of the state, occurring within the linn
its of the city, not amounting to
felony, violations of the city ordi-
nances and punishable as such. In
each case the affidavit charged the
defendant Fuller with selling "vinous,
malt, alcoholic, Intoxicating and spir-
itous liquors, etc." in violttion of Sec
ton 1746, Code of 1906, which had be-
come an ordinance of the city as
above set forth There was an agreed
state of facts in each case. In case
No. 1430S the facts agreed on are as
follows: THE defendant did sell in
the city of Jackson, Kinds County,
Miss, beverage known as "Brewett"
on the date mentioned in the affidavit
filed herein. He sold it for cash and
received the money for it. The said
beverage sold by the said Fuller con
tanned by volume, eighteen-one-hun'
dredth of one per cent of alco'
hol, and by weight, thirteen-one-
hundredths of one per cent of alcohol
The said beverage did not contain
enough alcohol to make it intoxicating
to any extent when drunk to excess
The said beverage so sold was not in
fact an intoxicating liquor"

MAY SELL BONDS
IN SMALL sums
Seems That This Will Be The Only
Way Mississippi Can Get Rid of
The 100000 Issue.
Special to The NelUS.

Special to The NelUS.
Jackson, Miss, June 14.-Governor
Noel is still receiving letters inquir-
ing about the 100000 of state bonds,
last Monday, but which will be dis
posed of within sixty days. Several
of these letters are from persons who
desire to purchase small blocks of the
bonds. from $500 to $4,000 or $4,000.
If he can get sufficient offers from
persons desiring to buy the bonds for
investment, Governor Noel will dis
pose of them in this way, and it is
Just possible he may issue a state
ment to the public and offer the bonds
for sale by popular subscription. Mis-
sissippians seem to have money to in
vest in almost anything these days,
and some of them have never expert
enced the delights of clipping corl-
pons.
Governor Noel points out that saw
ings banks only pay per cent inter
est semi-annually while. the interest
on these bonds would be payable in
like manner and at the same rate.
They would be good collateral to Dor
row on. if the purchaser should need
funds. and the Governor sees no reas-
on why the bonds should not be float
ed within the state. He is consider
ing this feature and will make an an
nouncement on this question in a day
or two.

WORDING OF Law IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR this
Act Provides That City May Elect
Three or Five Commissioners, One
of Whom Shall be Elected Mayor
Hattesburg Chose Lesser Number.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
law creating the commission form of
government in Mississippi has been
published in full and in part in The
News on several occasions, there are
still large number of voters who do
not yet understand how many commits
sioners are to be elected by the city
of Hattiesburg at the July elections.
This misunderstanding is probably
due to the wording of the law, which
provides that a city adopting the COM
mission form of government may elect
three or five commissioners, one Of
whom shall be elected mayor. This
does not mean that there will be three
commissioners besides the mayor, but
the mayor also is classed as COM
missioner, which means that there
will be a mayor and two commission
ers to be elected.
This is matter which the people
should get Strengthened out before
the election, as every ticket which is
not correctly marked will be thrown
out and somebody will necessarily
lose votes if three commissioners are
voted for.
The ballot will, of course, instruct
the voter to "vote for two" commits
sioners but it is an extraordinary fact
that there are large number of peo-
pie who never look at anything except
the names on the ballot, and, lest
there should be some on the last day
who have not been advised as to the
number of commissioners to be elect
ed, it would be well for the candidates
to bear this in 4hind and instruct
their friends how to vote.

unfinished business of the previous
meeting. Mayor Donald, City Clerk
Farley, Chief of Police Williams and
all councilmen were present.
! A committee from j. M. Morse, ask
ing the council to open a section of
Third street, which had been partially
closed by the Watkins Machine &
Foundry Company in the enlargement
of their plant, was presented by Mr..
S. E. Travis. The petition set forth
that the Watkins Company had already
partially closed the street and were
making preparations to close it per-
manently. The matter was referred
to the city engineer, with instructions
to furnish the council with complete
profile of the street through the Wat
lkins property.
| The matter of drainage on Mobile
street, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, which had been complained of
by citizens of that ward, was referred
to the street commissioner, with in
structions to furnish the desired relief
if practicable.
The city attorney was instructed to
investigate the ordinance with refer
ence to compelling the railroad com
panies to maintain arc lights at their
various street crossings, and to re-
port to the council whether or not
the railroads could be compelled to
comply with the terms of these or
dnances.
Ramsey & Co. were given permiss-
sion to build a tool house at the city

Street school building was discussed
exhaustively, Mayor Donald having re-
ceived from Architect Hull, of Jack
, son, an estimate of the cost of the
necessary repairs. Mr.. Hull's esti
mate placed the cost at about $4,000
and number of the councilmen were
!; of the opinion that this was too large
sum to spend ON the building, mas
much as the present structure cos
only 100000.

was decided to wait until the Norma
