The Hand Of Hines.

This newspaper has had a
great deal to say regarding the
the hand of Edward Hines in
Mississippi politics.
The veto of the $4,000, 900 cor.
porations holding law by Cover
nor Vardaman has cost the afore-
said Hines something like 81, 900,
OOO-and the case is still in the
courts.
Hines is angry.
He has sworn vengeance.
To be plain, he boasted in the pre-
sence of witnesses that he would
elect a legislature which would
give HIM the right to own the
state, should he decide to buy it.
This is an awful threat.
1t bad enough for the male
factors of great wealth to enter
into a conspiracy to rear land
ed aristocracy and to make serfs
of our children. 1t Is worse to
tear down the integrity of our
legislative bodies and convert
patriotic and law-loving citizens
into a race of anarchists.
Hines threat. can be proven
beyond question of doubt. That
he means to carry it out will not
be doubted by those who know
the man.
Didn't he purchase a seat in
the United States senate for the
Notorious Lorimer of Illinois?
Hidn't he boast of his achieve
ment?
And the hand of Hines is be-
lieved to have poured swill into
the trous hs of the late lamented
secret caucus in Mississippi.
Sad spectacle-tris!
Wln the people Of Mississippi
uotIrise up in the supreme ma
jesty Of sovereign citizenship and
febuke this effort to commercla-
lize the politics of a great and
glorious commonwealth?
Hines candidates for legislative
honors are already in the field
and there will be more of them.

That Homemade Cigar.

Redolent of the red hills of
Mississippi, and sweet as a
breath of breeze which stirs thru
the fragrant pines is our home
made cigar. 1t was presented to
US yesterday and was as fresh
and sweet as the odor from the
scented fields just after gentle
rainfall. Some may sing the
praises of crested foam of the
restless sea. but give US the
good old Mississippi handmade
fragrant cigar, and as we puff
it, we dream of the tobacco patch
es, and in our fancy we scan the
leafy lanes of long ago, where
our boyish feet wandered, with
rod and line toward the purllng
creek. where lurked the Elusive
tinny tribe.
Oh! there may be dreams of
other lands that mingle with the
smoke that curls from that ci.
gar, but for the sweetest dreams
of all the dreams Of auld lang
syne, and the blessed memaries
of the happy days spent on the
farm.

the A. & M. College opened un-
der favorable auspices Monday.
Indications are that more teach
ers will be here to attend this
normal than have eyer been at
this college before. Teachers IN
agricultural schools and the rural
schools of the state will find the
course during the session espec-
tally advantageous to them IN
their work. Pro. p. P. Garner
who is in charge of the work has
succeeded in gathering an excep-
tionally competent faculty for
the normal work.
During the course number OF
brilliant lecturers will appear be-.
fore the normal students without

courses. In addition to these lec-
turers, there will be presented
two interesting and instructive
lyceum attractions.

There Is one minister of the
gospel who wants to see his
block worship IN a comfortable
structure-and his name is Rev.
J. l.. Sutton, OF the louisiana
M. E. Church of New Orleans.
During his sermon last Sunday
morning, he made the unusual
announcement. that for the re-
malnder of the year, he wished
the congregation to use his sala-
ry for repairing and QUILTING
the church, and that he would
serve them for nothing and to
contribute what they could. He
said he had rather see God S
cause prosper than to get money
for himself, though he did not
think God expected him to do
that. That preacher deserves
commentator for the steps he
is taking in the good religious
cause.

the Negro to give that party its
vote, and there will never be a
cordial invitation delivered to us
to vote the Democratic ticket.
The South has disfranchised the
Negro vote in practically every
southern state, a section where the
Democratic party is supreme. 1t
requires a very strong assumption
of logic to advocate an association
with a thief who means to rob
YOU. and whose record of rObberles
is extended. And it requires only
a desire for the glittering gold to
advocate the giving of the Negro's
vote to a party that has boldly
robbed us of our rights, and
which arrogantly and audacious-
" continues to rob us of civil and
political rights. Bishop Walters
may 90 with the Democrats if he
likes, but as long as that party
continues as the defiant enemy OF
our race he must not expect sane
sensible, honest men of the race
to follow him.

CHOOSE TODAY.

It should not be a hard mat
ter for the colOred voters of this
country to choose as to which of
the two political parties they
would support in the campaign
of 1912. All that the cOlOred voter
possesses today he received from
the Republican party. Let us ad-
NIT that there is a great deal of
prejudice In both parties against
the colored voter. Can we not see
that this prejudice is the crea-
ton of the Democratic party
There is nothing that we can gain
from the Democratic party. How
will a few offices benefit the col
ored voter when his rights are
taken from him!
The colored voter is safer un-
der Republican rule than he is
under Democratic rule.
Let us choose today to which
party we will ally ourselves. Let
us not be slow in choosing. The
so-called insurgent Senators have
shown no disposition to defend
the civil and political rights OF
the colored voter. Why, then
should we hesitate!
Let us choose today.

WHERE WE'RE HIS
FRIENDS?

No matter what kind of a
white man goes in among cOlOred
people, no matter what kind of
colOred people, they will applaud
that man, no matter what he may
say against a member of their
race. The ignorant set of Ne
groes who attended the Bethel
Literary last Tuesday night and
allowed that man Mannings, from
Georgia, to attack DR.. Washing
ton, are as bad as he is. There
were a number of DR.. Washing
tons friends there. Why didn't
they rise and defend him from
the personal assault that was
made upon him?
So-called intelligent Negroes

DON'T CROW TOO Justify

Last Summer DR.. Booker T.
Washington while abroad was
feted and dined and paid the
highest honOrs by the seers and
peers of the old world. Royalty
and the plain common people Wed
with each other In doing this
great race leader honor. In some
of his speeches he spoke In an
optimistic tone OF his people In
the United States. Hardly had
he returned to his native shore be-
fore DR.. Dubois had prepared
and sent broadcast an address to
the people of England criticizing
DR.. Washington for his optimism.
The aim of the author of ''The
Souls of Black Men" was to dis
credit DIR. Washington, not alone
in the minds of the people of
England, but Of the people of
this country. DR.. Dubois is now
abroad, but unlike DR.. Washing
ton he IS not being hOnOred to any
alarming extent. In fact in Merry
Old England" when a dinner was
proposed for DIR. Dubois, and the
invitations were sent out, recipi-
ents fell over themselves, fairly
j0stled each other, in cancelling
their acceptance and declining ac-
ceptance of invitations. Now we
regret this exceedingly. We re-
gret it because 1t savOred of race
predjudice, and that too against
a very learned professor. But the
point is that the very people to
whom, a few months ago, DR.. Du-
Bois appealed to discredit one of
his own race, and the foremost at
that, now refuses to accept DR.,
Dubois at his face value. 1t may
be that the Doctors impertinent
and highly improper address to
the people of England against a
member of his own race may
have aroused or accentuated race
prejudice in England. And it
may be that the people of Eng
land entertain such a low estimate
for a knOcker and such a high
estimate of the unselfsh man OF
deeds that the cancelling of ac-
ceptance and declination of in
vitations to a dinner in honor OF
DR.. Dubois was meant simply as
a personal rebuke to him. The
incident only goes to show that
it is best not to crow too Justify
before you are safe out of the
woods. Now will DR., Dubois
write another appeal?

NEGRO LEADERSHIP.

With a few exceptions, and a
very few at that, Negro leader
ship is so far degenerated that
there is not enough left to tell a
brief history of its existence. 1t
is a mistaken idea that some col
ored people have that Office hold
ing is evidence of good leader
ship. The Bee is of the opinion,
and many agree with it, that some
of the Negro appointments under
this administration are the weak
est of any that have been made
since Negro leadership amounted
to anything. Some of the Ne
groes who hold Office under
this administration - The Bee
means Presidential appointments
would not be able to hold down
a frst-class clerkshlp. A Negro
who hasn't been used to holding
"n office, will shake when he IS
.talking with or comes in contact
18th white people. The great
trouble with many of the Pres
7ential appointments of Negroes,
e they have deputies, they run the
office.
We have never had but two Re-
oorders of Deeds, namely, Mat
thews, of Albany, and Trotter, Of
Massachusetts,. Although thew
aerved under a Democratic ad-
ninistration, they exercised the
functions OF their office.
It is a reflection on the Negro
~ace to have Negroes in office who
are too cOwardly to run them. TIC
an extent, this present Negro
leadership is a disgrace to mod
ern civilization.
Away with it.
