MODERN TUPELo.

The Chickasaw Indian once
sat beneath the shade of Tupeio's
stately oaks and ground his In
dian corn into rough meal be-
tween two unpublished stones.
Later the water-mill ground the
corn of the pioneer and later
still the steam mill furnished q
quick and convenient mode OF
transforming corn into meal.
Following steam gasoline was
employed for the same purpose
and with it We felt that every
end could be met with its con-
venient power. With only a
few years of usefulness it has
been set aside for the worlds
greatest rower-electricity. To-
day we grind our corn, we knead
our bread, we parch our coffee,
we grind our spices, run our
sewing machines, cook our
bread, boil our coffee, sweep our
carpets, make our shoes, pump
our water, gin our cotton. bottle
our soda pop, run our pianos,
our lighthouses, our fans, light
our streets, our churches, our
homes with electricity.
And in doing this we employ
the cheapest power that can be
had.

The Champion Meat Eaters.

In Switzerland the conSump-
ton of meat is rs pounds per
capita, and in many portions OF
Europe meat is seldom eaten by
the peasantry class and majority
of the wage earners. Americans
are the champion m~eat-eaters of
the civilized world, and in the
Cotton States the consumption is
probably three times greater
than elsewhere in the country.
With us meat goes to the table
of the humblest three times a
day regardless of cost, and the
average negro's daily ration is
probably three times as great as
that of the average white laborer
in other sections. Those who
write so often in condemnation
of southern meat Importation,
take little heed of these condi-
tons, and do not seem to be
aware of the fact that every
Southern State produces vastly
more than adequate supply if
consumed according to the ratio
prevailing in the agricultural
West. In Kansas a 40-acre white
farmer with a family of five,
will make 1000 pounds of meat
and sell $50 pounds of it. A ne
gro tenant representing same
acreage and size of family in
Mississippi, will make 1000
pounds of meat and probably
have to buy some to carry him
through the year. Mississippi
makes a great deal more meat
than would feed any Western
State of like population, or five
times it's population in Continen
tai Europe. Aberdeen Examiner

Every once in a while you will

Of money in teaching men of your

ic institution. Instead of send
ing them to the university, the
claim has been made that they

never thought deeply on the sub
ject and does not understand that
as race which is striving upward
and onward you need many who
shall be leaders-men who shall
figure in the learned proft ssions,
many of them as physicians. as
lawyers, and especially as minis
ters.
Higher Education Essential to Race
Now it is highly essential that
all of the men of your race and a y
other race who are to occupy the
learned professions shall be equip
ped with complete education and
those of us who are responsible for
the coming of your race to this

far as possible and furnish the
means for higher education such
as are supplied by Howard Univer-
sity, by Fisk University and other
institutions established for the
higher education of your race.

don't apply the law with certainty
and dispatch in the criminal cases
as they ought to, and [ believe
that part of this departure from
the law as is the case in lynch
ing and disorder is due to the fact
that courts patch in the justice
meted out in criminal cases. But
we must not attribute it all to the
courts. There is among our peo-
pie disposition to forget the
sanctity of the law and not to know
that no civilization in any country
can live unless the law is respect
ed. Now lynching is claimed by
some being justified because, as
they say, it is applied only to per-
sons guilty of one special crime
that is particularly heionous to all
of us. But that is not true.
Statistics show that lynching is ap-
piled to those charge with great
many crimes and the moment you
transgress once and the moment
that the mob acquires the wolfish
desire for human blood, the exam
pie is dreadful to the community
in which the exhibition of lawless-
ness is given. And there is not

charged with guilt. prolonged

ious questions that we have to face
in this country. We have not
among all of our people as pro-
found a respect for the law and
the necessity for obedience to it
as we ought to have, and that is
part of the reason why we have
this exhibition of lawlessness over
the country and these cruel mur-
ders, for that is what they are, for
it is no less murder when four
hundred participate in the killing,
of one man, ordinarily it is accom-
panied by great deal more of
cowardice by reason of the fact
that four hundred are engaged in
such crime.
And the only way by which it
can be suppressed is that some
times we shall have men as sheritfs,
men as governors, and as prosecu-
tors and as jurors who will see to
it that the men engaged in pull
ing the rope under those condi-
tions shall themselves swing by
the rope.
And in the matter of lynching
we need not sit snugly by and
say those of us in any particular
section are better than those of
another section of our county,
because that kind of lawlessness
has shown its ugly head both
North and South of the Mason
