The Lexington advertiser., 1910-08-05

bosom and with trembling form
Mississippi stands today befors the
tibunal of her sovereign rulers, with
blush of shame upon her proud ana
yirtuous forehead and with down cast
ewes. waiting to hear the verdict that
will punish the ones who seek to take
from her fair name. In the namo OF
high heaven, in the name of all that IS
decent, 10 the name of home and love,
is it craftsmanship that is heating the
blood of her gray headed sires, DER
brave strong limbed men and her fair
women or is it patriotism Ii II ls
partisanship then the unreasonableness
and ilIosic of it all is very patent 10
the sensible ones who compose Eer
citizenship. 1t would be an occasion
for grief II it didn't smack OF tn sub
timely ridiculous. One drop of blood
shed by the humblest citizen is worth
more than the whole filthy mess. Inc
idea of man forgetting his own press
el tileside, God and home, to further
the interest of cheap politicians ~
very pathetic indeed,
It seems to be giving the sports
pain because g they cant hn@ anotDer
white nigger to fight Jack III tney
are real anxious to have him matched
send him South. we will match him
with champion down here known as
Beck and couple of good trainers
with rawhides to show the impudent
smoke how. Really prize lighting has
seen it's day. Tue white man who gets
in the ring with negro is no better
than. if as good as, the negro,
So what's the odds2 Let the coon
alone. -~~---
notice a good many are hugglng
themselves because we have a new
state I'll wait till see how she
votes. If 1t is patriotism there Will 90
no personal hate for the man whose
heart within burns by patriotic h'es,
ia above insulting his fellowman.
God give us hope IN this dark hour
as we prieye o'er the ashes OF the past.
Nav Mississippi's honor be vlndlcateu
by her proud citizenship.
If our good friend. Cade, would 20 &c
little trouble aud determine the cost
to the state, or TO the taxpayers OF tht
state, of furnishing her criminals am
very much of the opinion that, II II
were required of him to talk about
working but convict labor for the pup
lie roads of this state and to DEBATE Il
in the affirmative, cur friend Cadt
would remain silent forever. Cade
saws that the convicts ought not to oe
allowed to compete with the farmer II
growing cotton / would just like fol
him to show me exactly how he hgure'
+ ii out that the convicts are competing
> with the farmers. | fail to see 1T II
that light. Just as we'll and reason
, ably saw the A Il NJ College shoult
9 not grow cotton. The state is tlyInt
!, TO make her farms self sustaining
, The only way we can do SO IS L,
a growing cotton and then we do no
: succeed all the. time then. II the'
wa can't pay the CO of f Rushing tn
criminals of the state by producihi
. something it stands TO reason we can
r do By working them In the capacity
: road hands without raising the rate 0
= taxation. 1t would be necessary t.
!, nire not less than six guards for eacl
= county il not more We would hav
. . to keep them supplied.with arms, arm
q muuirion and other supplies. We wonl
8 have to purchase cages and other smal
items such as implements, etc. The
. . we would start off in debt and in 81
. months we would have roads wort
= from $75 TO 800 per mile, think tn
: county can work them cheaper an
better than by that method. | am an
. xious for good roads. | don't car
:. ANYTHING about what kind of roads th
Romans had but | am interested ]
what kind of roads the people of Hol
mesc ounty are going TO have. That
why am glad to see the "devil-wae
on gaining popularit My goo
friend, Rev. r a. W. Wilson epxless
"a my opinion of the auto thus "Th
first thing man gets after be purcha'
es an automobile is the big head, an
then he gets the good roads fever.
But IL we put the convicts Oh tn
roads we will be too Door TO purchas
horse and buggy Of the cheape'
type. much less ali auto.
