ton of the significance of this insti-
tuition to the state. The people of
Hattiesburg became aroused and with
one accord determined to go after
the college in a way to get it and
cared little for the price paid, because
they realized that the more they put
into the school the more important it
would become, hence in the bidding
they were in the lead and secured
the location on the first ballot, and
are, so to speak, shaking hands with
themselves yet because they did it.

sleeping bill an opportunity to utilize
the property in Hattiesburk
known as South Mississippi col
lege. Mayor Donald at once
took up the matter with T. s.
Jackson president of the Hatties-
burg Commercial club, telling him he
saw in these conditions a chance for
Hattiesburg to get the State Normal
college. Mr.. Jackson and Mayor
Donald arranged to have kilograms
sent to leading members of the legis-
lature asking that the bill be taken
up and passed, upon a pledge from
Hattiesburg to maintain the college
| for two years without taxing the state
cent, provided 1t was located here.
1t was then the intention to obtain
the South Mississippi college property
add an academic building and present
college. The friends of the bill got
busy, secured unanimous consent for
the Mccullough bill to be taken up
on a date fixed. On that date DR..
Donald and Prof. F. B. Woodley, sup
| erintendent of the city schools of Hat
tiesburg, upon the suggestion Of the
state superintendent of education, J.
N. Powers, went to Jackson and large
ly through their labors and their plan
whereby the passage of the bill meant
no immediate outlay for the state,
the bill passed the House by a good
majority. It went to the Senate and
there met with immediate favor and
adoption.
Later when Ways and Means for
carrying out Hattiesburg's promises
to the state were considered it was
soon seen that they were not pos
sible without a bond issue. and with
out legislation this was not pos
sible.
Conferences were then held between
a number of leading citizens and the |
county and city boards, who tacitly |
agreed to issue bonds for both coun-
ty and city when they had a legisla-
tive warrant for so doing. Local
citizens then went to Jackson, got
Stokes V. Robertson, representative
from Forrest county, to introduce
bill authorizing the required bond
issues. This bill was referred at once
to a committee on local and private
Legislation under suspension of the
rules The committee at once re-
ported the bill to the House, with APP
proyal, and it was passed without OBJ
position in the closing days of the
session. However, others had been
aroused by Hattiesburg's persistence
activity and liberality, and they at
once set to work to secure a general
law which permitted any municipality
or county to issue bonds for the pur-
pose Of securing the location Of the
college.
Hattiesburg Had Hard Fight.
Tt soon became apparent that Hat
Tiesburg would have several active
for the location of this
important new state Institution. Up

Burbank's Latest

Luther Burbank. the botanic
al wizard. has branched out into
a new field for his genius. He
developed The spineless cactus
and has madeit a success in Cal
ifornia where the soil and the
climate are admirably adapted
to its growth. Now he proposes
to try it in the alkali deserts of
Arizona. He has asked con-
gress for twelve sections Of gov
eminent land, now absolutely
worthless. to be granted to him
in fee if at the end Of five years
he shall have been able to grow
successfully 100. 600 plants on the
land by that time. OF course,
the government requires Mr..
Burbank 70 pay The usual filing
fees.
Congress has that sort of bill
before it and it is expected that
favorable action will be taken at
the next session. 1t will make
a great deal of land now worth
less valuable il the experiment
shall prove successful.

federal remedies shall be added to-
and not substituted for state rene
dies We insist on maintaining the
distinction between the natural man
and the artificial person called cor.
poration, and we favor the enactment
OF such laws as may be necessary to
scompel foreign corporations to sub.
init their legal disputes to the courts
OF the state In which they do busi-
ness, and thus place themselves upon
the same footing as do domestic cor
porations.
We believe in maintaining intact
and unimpaired the plan upon which
our government was founded-the
legislative, executive and judicial de-
partments. We believe that the pre-
servation Of this system, with due re-
gard to the powers belonging to each
department Is essential to the perpet
uity OF the republic.
USURPING POWERS.
We, therefore, insist that congress
take such action as may be necessary
with constitutional limitations to
limit the federal judiciary In the
usurpation OF powers which do not
belong to 1t. While we recognize and
approve the principles underlying The
initiative, referundum and recall as
essentially democratic, and indulge
the hope that some day these princi.
pies and policies may be written into
the organic law of the nation and
states, yet there is a condition 10
Miss issippi because Of the presence of
the black man-because OF the fact
that there are fifty thousand more
adult negro men in Mississippi than
there are white men, which would
render it impolitic to undertake at
this time to put into operation those
measures in this state. The selec-
tion OF our officers are all made by
white primaries, which eliminates or
rather mitigates to large extent the
negroes influence in politics, aud en-
ables us to maintain 10 spite of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
a government of white men by law.
But the principles OF the Initiative
and referendum and the powers that
might be exercised under them could
not be settled by white primaries.
To the end that the south may enjoy
the same freedom In the discussion OF
public questions and unbindered take
part in national affairs which are en-
juyed by other states where the black
man Is not menace To the white
mans civilization, or the peace and
purity Of the white mans civilization,
