The Washington Herald decries
the proposed segregation of the
colored people of Baltimore, ar
guing that such a suggestion of
Negroes in definite section of the
city will create a Negro "Ghetto,' y

every point of view. The Herald
is opposed to the regulation, and is

come law, the last condition of

Vardaman's Speech.

Then there were shouts for Major
Vardaman, and the ex-governor was
given reception equaling in intensi-
ty that accorded Mr.. Percy as he faced
the seething, shouting and cheering
mass of people he hade calm, clear,
unimpassioned though thoroughly
characteristic address, pledging his
loyalty to the distinguished nominee
and asserting his intention to live up
to the principles of Democracy, the
first Of which is to accept unflinchingly
tho will of the majority. His con-
science satisfied him that he had made
a good fight. and he knew how to
lose after such a contest. He took
occasion to congratulate Mr. Percy,
who sat a few feet from him. and to
assure him of any assistance or help
that lay in his power.
In the next instant he had formally
declared that he would go before the
people and would make campaign
for the long term from this time on
until the people have spoken in the
1911 primary.
From first to last the ex-governor
was given an ovation that was enough
to turn the head of any man less
evenly balanced.

Optimism Prevails.

At a chapel meeting of the faculty
and students in the dining room of the
girls dormitory this morning, directly
after the faculty meeting. short aG-
dresses were made by the president
and other members of the faculty at
which fine spirit of optimism pre-
vailed. The expression of Professor
Thames-"We face a great calamity,
but are extremely optimistic the
keynote of the entire meeting. A spe-
cial plea was made by each of the
teachers to the pupils asking them to
stick by the faculty and the school,
and when one of the teachers asked
each of the pupils to stand who in
tended to remain through the term,
the entire body arose. Prof. Thames
was considerably overcome at this
meeting by the expressions of love and
ympathy from the pupils and teachers,
and in his address to them, said that

Race Before the People.

What was of more significance and
which evoked a whoop from the crowd
was Mr.. Percy's declaration, that he
expected to not only look after the
interests of his state and people in
the position to which they had called
him, but would from the stump and
in every county in the state, face to
face with the people, preach the doc
trine of true Democracy as conceived
by him, and in which work he prom
ised to give as good an account of
himself as possible. This signifies that
Mr. Percy will seek to secure, at the
hands of the people, after the expira-
tion of the McLaurin term, an endorse
ment of the work of the Legislature
at this time.

Prof. Thames to the effect that the

SECRETARY BUCK
GETS A RAISE
legislature increases Salary Of Gov.
ernor's Private Secretary to
$1,000 Per Year.
Special to lhe Netos.

Special to Ihe Net0s.
Jackson, Miss, Feb 23.-Hon. w.
J. Buck, private secretary to the Gov
ernor, and who is perhaps the most
popular occupant Of the state house,
enjoys the distinction of being the on
ly public official whose personal worth
and public services bid fair to be rec
ognized with raise of salary at the
present session of the legislature.
Several days ago the lower house
passed a bill increasing the salary Of
the Governors private secretary to
$1,000 per annum, which is $500 per
year more than the salary now being
paid.
The bill was sent over to the sen.
ate, and this morning the finance COM
mittee made favorable report there
on, which insures its passage by that
body.
Mr.. Burk is perhaps the most ex-
pert stenographer in Mississippi, and,
in addition to this qualifidat' on, he
possesses executive ability of an ex-
ceptionally high character. On the
very numerous occasions during the
past three years when the Governor
has been absent from the city he has
performed practically all the duties
of the office, and, in every instance,
he has administered public affairs in
very capable and business-like
manner.

MAKING SURVEY
OF Proposed New Line Of Burlington
Railroad From Dyersburg to
Point in Mississippi.

Special to The Neaos.
Jackson, Miss, Feb 23.-An engi-
neering corps of the Burlington road
is at work about thirty miles north
of Jackson surveying the proposed
line to be built by that company from
Dyersburg, Tenn, connecting at this
point with the New Orleans Great
Northern.
The surveying party is camped in
the vicinity of Flora, and is expected
to reach this city by Friday. Two
members of the party were sent to
Jackson last night to purchase sup
plies for the outfit.
The announcement was sent out
from Memphis about ten days ago
that the Burlington intends to build
line from Dyersburg to Jackson,
passing through the richest and most
fertile section of the Mississippi delta.
1t was not known at the time, howev-
er. that the company had a corps of
engineers in the field, and that the
route of the road through the delta
was being mapped out.
While official confirmation is lack
ing, it is the current report in railroad
circles that federation or traffic ar
rangement of some sort aas been per-
fected between the Burlington and
the New Orleans Great Northern
whereby the former will use the
tracks of the lattcr from Jackson to
New Orleans.
