of the Southern cities is more than
half black. There is no mixing OF the
black and whites in the South. The
negro has separate schools. negro

car unless he goes as porter or serv-
ant TO the white, and on the street
cars he must occupy the two last

In the cities like Memphis the negro
seems to be getting along very we'll.
There is plenty of work and wages

saving money. AS mentioned above,
Alonzo Locke, the head waiter at the
Gayoso hotel in Memphis is president

well. Mr.. Parker told me also that his
head porter at the Holiday House in
Cairo had recently given up his job

up enough to retire on. He owns a
business block and several residence
properties. amounting perhaps TO
$4,000.

dare say any man who was there in
1853 would feel perfectly at home this
year. He probably wouldn't get lost

been built before the war.

The National Editorial Association
met this year in New Orleans. Twen-
ty-five years ago this association was
organized in that city and this was
a sort of silver anniversary of that
occasion Chief among the organizers
was B. B. Herbert of Chicago. He has
attended every meeting since and is
known everywhere among newspaper
men as Father Herbert. He is publish
er of the National Printer Journalist.
one of the leading trade papers for
newspaper men. To show its appre-
elation Of Father Herbert's work for
the association he was presented with
handsome life-size oil painting of
himself. costing $3.50. Several news
paper men were in attendance who
we're there at its organization twenty
Ave years ago. Among these were W.
E. Pabor. now OF Avon Park. Florida.
Mr. Pabor at one time published a
fruit paper at Canon City and is well
known In Colorado. He Is the Poe;

which the great Civil war is usually
termed down South. It's rather un-
diplomatic to say rebellion" down
South-the term never appears in
Southern press or literature.
To the old soldier the siege and
battle of yicksburg is one of the most
interesting OF the war. Grant wanted
TO control the Mississippi. The bat
teries on the hills Of vicksburr held
him back for months. In May. 1868, he
begun an advance on Vicksburg from
the land side. For nearly sixty days
the most desperate fighting was kept
up and the confederaies were driven
back only foot by foot. Finally on
July 4th, 1868, the Confederate com
mander. Gen. stephen D. Lee. was
forced to surrender his command. II

fence.
