Pass Christian Beacon.
The sudden death of G. Fl. Alexan-
der, on The streets Of Jackson We'd
nesday, sent a shock throughout the
State. Few men of Mississippi were
better known or more generally ad

bereaved family have the combined
sympathy of all Mississippians, who
feel that the State has lost one OF its
best and most learned men.

REVIEW
By DR.. S. A. Steele

In New Orleans Christian Advocate.
(This book bears the title, Racial
Integrity. The author of this book,
Rev. A. III. Shannon is now one of
the faculty of the A. and NJ. College
at Starksville, Miss. It is impossi-
BILE to exaggerate the importance of
the subject of this treatise, which
the title happily expresses. 1t con-
Germs every man, woman and child
in America, from Labrador to Cuba
And it concers them vitallv, involv-
ing the most sacred interests, and
reaching the most distant, as well as
the nearest, results of civilization.
1t is very difficult problem to han
die, and Professor Shannon handles
it with delicacy- and skill equaled
only by his sincerity and earnest
ness. Tt has been one Of the regrets
OF my life that | did not reach the
planet in time to cast a vote with
the Know Nothing Party and help
to keep America for Americans, and
shut out the rabble that have made
our population the most conglomer-
ate mass of humanity on the globe.
What a country we would have he'd
if we had guarded the gates of immi-
grafton, and kept our Paradise, as
the flaming seraph with sword Of
fire kept the primeval Eden safel It
is too late now. The enemy have
come in like a flood. The best we
can do now IS to lift up the standard
of Racial Integrity" and build bar
riers against the destroying ravages
of mixed blood. The subject is so
vast. so vital, so complicated, that
one is bewildered by it, Shall A
mericans become mongrel people2
Shall the splendid blood that has
created the Anglo Saxon civilization
be debauched by the infusion Of infer
Tor stock, and the ineradicable curse
Of moral, mental and physical debase-
ment~oyerwhelm US?
The only way to avert a doom one
shndders to contemplate is to main
tain the integrity of our blood.
With population of ten or eleven
million negroes among US, and a de,
sire amounting almost to a passion
among them, to change from negroes
to whites, the peril is appalling.
Your tariff problem, your labor prob
lem. your whiskey problem, your
white slave traffic problem, all your
problems sink out of sight, conpar-
ed with this gigantic menace. Mis-
cegenatlon, openly advocated by such
men as Andrew Carnegie
as the right solution of the race
problem, would set America back |
two thousand years, and leave her
where Africa is today. | never have I
taken ally stock in the education Of
the negro as it is conducted at Tus-
kegee, Nashville, or Atlanta. These
schools. 10 their ideals. aims and pur
poses. seek to make negroes into
white people. Ninety per cent OF
the students in these schools are nu
attoes, and the schools are Utterly
alien to every true interest Of the
Caucasian race.
These are not the sentiments Of

more conservative in his utterances.

srate convictions OF my mind, and

ANENT THE DEATH OF HON. Z. H.
ALEXANDER.

1t was distinct shock to this
writer in opening tie daily prints
Thursday Of last week, to read that
Hon. G. Fl. Alexander had dropped
dead on the street in Jackson the day
before. Mr.. Alexander, as the news
paper accounts show, had been in a
rather sharp clash a few minutes
before ia the State Democratic Con
vention with Mr. Vardaman over a
differ nce in opinion as to the pro-
priety Of the way the language should
read in the Underwood instruction
resolutions, which tilt was settled
and t h convention passed fl
peacefully afterwards aud adjourned.
He was walking away from the capt.
toll building when he crumpled down
into a heap dead from heart failure
possibly hurried on by the excite
ment of the debate.
As we said to a personal friend OF
The opposite faction in state politics,
IN personal conversation over Mr.
Alexander's death this sad aftermath
to one of the political embroglios
common to Mississippi on account of
the intense partisan feeling rife
within her metes and bounds should
be a rebuke to US all, and serve to
tone down factional tension The
Herald opposed Mr.. Alexander po-
liticaliy aad would have done it fur
ther had he lived, but as much as
we differed from him, we recognized
him as man of big proportions. As
a politician we considered him very
much overreached by his compeers
and somewhat of blunderer (not
meant in the harsh critical sense Of
the term) and hence not commend
able to our acceptation, but as a
lawyer of erudite learning and ac-
complishments, parent,a patriotic
citizen etc. we had always considered
him Of first rank in the state, and
have tried always to write of him in
such manner as if he bad been pres
or would confront US with our writ
lngs.
Let us IN studying this busy man S
career, endeaVor to remember and
profit by the strong points revealed
and to charitably forget the weak
ones, keeping IN mind these mourn
full and solemn lines from Longfel-
low
Art is long. and time is fieeting.

Still like muffied drums. are beating

South Has Three Candidates Out.
Clarion Ledger.


Among the list Of Presidential
candidates Offering for the Demo
cratic nomination, there are three
Southerners, Oscar Underwood, who
was born in Kentucky, the state that
furnished the North with Lincoln
and the South with Davis, but who
Is now resident OF Alabama; Champ
Clark, also Kentuckian by birth,
but resident of Missouri, and Wood
row Wilson, native of Virginia,
which has given the nation such chief
executives as George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison
and James Monroe, who stand at the
very head OF the list as the nation s
greatest Presidents and most patri
otto citizens; but who has been a.
dopted and honored by the Eastern
State Of New Jersey. Certainly a.
mong this trio a choice can be made
that will prove to tie entire country
that the South still produces men
who are a credit to this section and
an honor to their nation. It is said
that opportunity knocks at every
mans door. It's now lamming hard
on the door Of the South; why not
open it wide and give it a chance to
step IMP

For those who have eyes to see and
ears to hear and memories to retain,
this old world is one continuous
round of infinite variety in the realm
of profitable observation and human
experience. That statement lays a
predicate other than dogmatic for
the thought which suggest this edi-
torial, viz: That the person who re-
sorts to speclcus or faulty reasoning
to carry a point or accomplish pur-
pose. while successful in thus ma
nouvering men, will sooner or later
come him or herself to suffer the fell
consequences of such departure from
sound reasoning or well taken logic;
FIRST, in the reactionary and hurt
ful effect upon his or her own powers
OF mental suasion, = SECOND, in the
loss OF confidence by his or her fell
lowmen. and LASTLY in being trap
ped IN their own net When ia some
later controversy the sane or sound
view is sought to be taken, by hav-
ing an opponent 'hurl the former
alignment back at its one-time user,
thus bringing about clear-cut case
of conviction for INCONSISTENCY, one
Of the worst indictments that can be
brought against character Of promi-

pendent vote strongly enough to in
sure his election but there is a for
midable league against him, bent up
on his destruction, while the foolish
two-t thirds rule lends itself strongly
to their design. Wall Street breads
Wilson more than anyone else.
Hearst is jealous OF him, knowing
that Wilson wears no mans collar;
whereas Champ Clark is quite Wiling
to put himself under obligations to a
political chameleon. While no one
doubts the personal integrity OF Mr.
Underwood, there can be no doubt
but that the promotion of his candi-
dacy by certain interests is nothing
else but part of a sbrewd game TO
defeat Wilson. But for the local
pride in the candidacy of the Alaba-
ma Congressman, Florida, Alabama
and Georgia would doubtless have
gone for Wilson. AS 1t was, the
Georgia vote last week was as fol
lows: Underwood II 900; Wilson So, :
00G; Clark 10000; Harmon 5000
Thus Wilson lost Out by only 1900
votes, despite the opposition Of
Hearst's paper. The Georgian, the
Atlanta Constitution, Governor
Brown and Tom Watson.

Surprise Party on Olive Fryer

Little Olive Fryer had a birth
day on the 18th instant, at which
time she was nine years old and
her little girl friends gave her a
surprise. They assembled at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Alex. Nc
Phail and managed to all get into
the room without her knowledge.
The little people had cooked the
refreshments for the occasion
themselves, a fact of which they
were very proud, and it is drawing
it very mild, indeed, to say that
they had a fine afternoon. There
were some verses by Edna Paulson,
cakes with candles, ices, sand
wiches and the many things that
little people like and the afternoon
will long be remembered by all
who were present.

Eastern Star Entertainment

At a recent meeting of the East
ern Star Chapter of this place,
Ernest Pearson, j. F. Crawford
and w. M. Mace were appoint
ed a committee to get up a
supper and entertainment for
the members of that body. AT
the last meeting the committee
had provided a supper of their
own devising and they had also
managed to induce nearly every
member of the Star to take a part
in the entertainment. After the
meeting was over, the members
adjourned to the lower hall where
they sat down TO a feast of v
bread, coffee, weinerwurst, pick
les, nuts and cigars. From the
way the lunch disappeared the
company must have enjoyed it.
After the lunch was over the
committee proceeded to put it's
entertainment on the boards and
the result WAS one of the most EN-
joyable evenings that has been
spent in the Chapter for many
years. REGULATIONS, readings,
songs and music held every one
with interest for more than an
hour. Mrs. Sammons read a very
interesting selection, Mrs. Ekdahl
and Mrs. Pearson recited while
Prof Charles and Mr.. Mace told
interesting stories and Mr.. Craw-
ford and Mr.. Pearson read good
selections. 1t was an evening
that will not be forgotten soon by
those present.

Rawlins Wins as Usual

Prof. Charles, Miss Alma Walck
and six of the High School basket
ball team, Helen Humphreys,
Bessie Little, Florence Scott, Anna
Doggett, Marion McPhail and
Mabel Pearce, went to Rawlins
Saturday morning for the purpose
of playing the Rawlins Athletic
Club girls team a game Of basket
ball that evening. The train found
the Mead cut full Of snow aud the
girls had to walk to the Crone
ranch, where they procured a team
and went on in to Walcott. They
had missed II and were not able
to get to Rawlins until 8 O'Clock
at night. They just had time for a
cold bath and at $50 the game be-
gan, resulting in 3 to 2 in favor of
the Rawlins girls. The party re
turned Sunday on the stage and
had a very cold disagreeable ride.
The team has made up it's mind
not to try any more match games
until it gets to be a little more
proficient, as it has been beaten
every time it has played with any
outside team.

|. 0. 0. 7. Big DANCE
Third Annual Dance was One Of the Best
Ever eiven-EleGant Supper ssrv-
cd by the Rebekahs

The third annual ball of the
local order of the Odd Fellows was
one long to be remembered by
those who attened it. There were
over 30 couples present and very
few left the hall until the dance
broke up at 6 a. m. Friday MORN
ing. Every year the entire dance
ing public look forward to the an
nual dance given on the 22nd of
February, as the big event in
dances.
The dance this year was no ex-
ception to the others, only in as
it was bigger and better than ever.
The Music furnished by Dale
Chapman and Mrs. Frank Scrib-
ner, relieved once in a while by
Mr.. and Mrs. hugh Mowry, was
excellent. The floor was in fine
shape and every thing went like
clock work from the start of the
grand march at 9 p. m. to 6 a. m.
the next morning. The hall was
decorated nicely but not elaborate.
The supper was served by the
Rebekah Lodge on the stage from
ii to l at SOC per plate and the
ladies deserve great credit as well
as the distinction of having served
the best supper that was ever
given. Mrs. Frank White deserves
special credit for the management
of the supper as we'll as the rest
of the committee that assisted her
in the preparation, but to those
who know Mrs. White there is no
need to say that it was the best
that could be given.
The lodge of Odd Fellows was
praised on every side for the dance
and it seemed that the crowd GER
tainly enjoyed it to the limit as
they wouldn't give up until they
had just time to get their break
fast and go to work.
The foundation for the big Odd
Fellow ball will probably be COM
plete early in the Spring as work
will ha cfartod no cnop 90 tho froof
is out of the ground and the MEM
bers of the order hope and expect
to complete the building also this
year.
The dance was a financial sue
cess to both the lodges, both
clearing some money above the
expenses.

Sever Winter Weather

The past week has witnessed
some severe winter weather. The
thermometer has marked zero and
below nearly every night, tho
water has ran from the roofs of the
buildingn here in town during
nearly every day. Snow to the
depth of a foot fell Tuesday night,
filling the sage brush level full all
over the country. While this is
just what the country needs it is
very disagreeable. This continued
cold weather prophecies we'll, for
we are having our winter in the
winter time. The Sun will keep
its hands off the weather from this
time on, for no sooner had last
weeks item about our fine weather
come out and caught the eye OF
the weather-man when he began to
raise merry sheol with the mer-
curry and the snow. We have been
pounded over the head until we
can scarcely e out of our eyes,
and admonished repeatedly to let
the weather alone. We will. We
know when we have had enough
