governor of South Carolina, nor can
the problem be solved by the stupid
timidity displayed by the governors of
Virginia and Alabama. You seldom
pick up a newspaper that does not con-
tain an account of an outrage perpe-
trated by some black beast upon a
white woman, which is almost univer-
sally followed by hanging at the hands
of the mob. Executives rant and rage
and yet no man is ever punished for
participating in the mob. AS a matter
of fact, as long as this crime is COM
mitted the mob will try and settle with
the perpetrator. But in spite of all
that wise and dignified governors
make no effort to discover the source
of trouble and remove the evil. But
they are satisfied with condemning
somebody who happens to call atten-
tion to the terrible situation in an un-
happy way. When the American peo-
pie understand that the war amend

long step will have been taken to-
ward the ultimate solution.
"The laws must be made to fit the
races; the criminal tendency Of the
negro must be restrained by law; his
status in society must be fixed by q

COMMITTEE FROM MASONIC
LODGE HAS TAKEN UP MAT.
TER WITH OTHERS.

A committee from the Hattiesburg
Masonic Lodge, composed of Herman
Katz, chairman; w. R. Evans and E.
H. Buckner, has sent a circular let
ter to all the benevolent orders, pas
tors of churches, superintendent of
Sunday schools and others known to
be interested in relief work in Hat
tiesburg, requesting that meeting be
held in the Masonic Temple at 8 D. m.
Monday, Jan. 6, 1913, for the purpose
Of confering relative to forming n
United Charities Association.
They state that the custom of all
cities the size of Hattiesburg is to
have such an organization with a com.
mon secretary and a relief commit.
tee, with regular donation from the
various bodies to common fund,
so that all cases requiring such at
tention may be referred to them for
immediate relief.
The letter says, in part:
"It has been the experience of all
the bodies here that in a number OF
cases parties apply to several of them
at about the same time and in this
way we do double work In other
cases some of the bodies have more
| calls than they can attend or the
ability to relieve, and in all it takes
the time of each separate committee
which might be saved, and the work
carried on more systematically and
effectively If we can perfect central
organization.

ployment bureau with a systematic
list of men, women and young people

all information regarding them obtain.

ployers in aiding them to secure work

Another Opportunity
to Secure Double Votes

1t is no doubt a pleasant surprise
to all the candidates interested in
winning the splendid prizes to know
that they will have a chance to secure
the same number of votes on their
subscriptions this week as was given
last week. The inclemency of the
weather was great handicap to the
workers last week, and it is deemed
advisable to allow double votes on
subscriptions turned in until Satur-
day. But this is positively the last
chance one will have to secure dou-
BILE votes, as Monday, Dec. 16, the old
schedule will be in effect.
The business turned in last week
will be set aside and, as was an.
nounced at the beginning of the offer
the judges will award the cash prize
at the close of the campaign. There
are no cash prizes offered this week
However, the offer this week Is a bet
ter one than will ever be made again
Possibly few of the candidates
thought that better offer would be
made than last week, and therefore
did not put forth every effort to Sc
cure subscriptions. These persons
will realize before the campaign closes
that they made a grevious error, as

1t is going to be very easy matter
to win the district prizes. It seems
as though no one cares for them,

There are five prizes to be awarded

that the two capital prizes may be
won in this district, making a total
of seven prizes. There are four names
listed, leaving three prizes with NO
one to ward them to. 1t seems strange
