Head Waiter of Southern
Hotel Tells Men of His
Race How to be Some-
body.-Gives Good Ad-
vice.

Editor Jacksonian: ~
| have noticed good many
articles Oh solving the negro
problem. In my opinion, the
only way the negro problem can
be solved is by the negro being
industrious aud saving his mon.
ey, investing it, buying homes,
living clean and honest life at
home and everywhere he goes,
instead Of being coarse and lust
full in his department, running
wild on excursions in mid-sum.
lner and paying back in winter
that which he sQuanders foolish
~ in summer,
Just as long as a man or race
of men do thingsthat keep them
down, just SO long will they be
down.
Too much dabbliRg in politics
is a bad thing for the negro, for
politics makes strange bed.fel-
lows. 1t is,a notable fact among
the ruling races in all countries
that they are the property own
ers. If you want to be man,
get hold Of something that rep.
resents man in this big world,
and that Ia money and property.
Take the poor white man: the
rich one cares very little about
him; take the poor negro and
the rich one cares less for him.
Had Jack johnson not been we'll
supplied with money he would
be behind prison bars in this
county or swinging to q tree
limb or bridge for the fool
things he did.
Don't steal, don't bootleg
don t lie, when you can tell the
truth; keep off the county road
by being a good negro and not y
mean one, for | would rather be
q dead negro than to be a mean
one.

The entire state is we'll adapted

are the Middle Tennessee and
Eastern sections.
As is we'll known, one OF the
chief reasons the industry is not

the presence Of the cur dog.
Great benefit would accrue to
the farmers of the State if we
had more drastic laws for the
elimination of this menace to the
sheep industry. Even the law
we have on the book (requiring
the registration, with a $500 fee
Of female dogs) would be Of
great benefit If rigidly enforced.
