PlNEY WOODS COUNTRY LIFE
SCHOOL Is MAKING GOOD
How Principal Laurence c. Jones Pro-
vidss For Ambitious Students.

One Of the most worthy and progress
sive of the younger schools in the
south for the education of colored
youth is the Piney Woods Country
Life at Braxton, Miss. This institu-
ton, as far as it's limited equipment
allows, is meeting the needs of the
masses in its section of the state in q
very large way. That the people Of
this thickly populated part of Missis-
sippi are anxious to give their chill
dren a chance to educate themselves
became more evident at the opening of
the school in October than at any time
since it has been established
The largest number of boys and girls
reported for entrance on the opening
day, Oct. IL, than at any other time,
and Professor Laurence @. Jones, the
principal, rather than turn any one
away decided to run them In two Pc
riods, some during the day and others
at night But even this method has
not given room enough.
The institution is in need Of funds
with which to erect a larger building
for classrooms, chapel and dormitory
building. Any one who can and will
give to such an institution any funds,
however small, will be giving to
worthy cause and may be assured that
his gift will be wisely used. The
following is an illustration OF how
white friends Of the race regard the
work which the school Is doing under
the management of Professor Jones:
AS mark Of appreciation for his
old black nanny. Aunt Lunkey." to
whom he told all his woes and who
nursed all his injuries in childhood
days, G.. w. Dulaney, wealthy Mis-
sourian, has made a donation OF $500
to the school. In u letter to Profes-
sor Laurence c. Jones Mr.. Dulaney
SAYS that he desires to make the gift
as a mark of love for the dear old
nanny, feeling that 1t will be used
as a useful monument to her memory
and hoping that it may result in the
development of such another beaudful
character as Aunt Lunkey.
'AIy grandfather paid $4OO for Aunt
Lunkey before the war;" said Mr..
Dulaney. "but in spite Of the fact that
her freedom was promptly given her
at the time of the war she had always
been attached to the family and con-
sidered herself member"

Secretary Of the Navy Refuses to Dis

The Democratic administration at
Washington has run the gantlet Of
race prejudice, especially in 80 far as
1t applies to the colored people. Thrift.
intelligence, loyalty to the flag and ef-
ficiency seem to count for naught. An
exhibition of such unfairness on the
part of an official OF the present ad-
ministration toward our race iS given
In an article which appeared In the
New York Evening Telegram Of
Dec. 13.
The Telegram says: The color line
has been drawn in the navy by Jose
phus Daniels, the secretary, who at the
hearing Of the navy estimates before
the house naval affairs committee dis
approved Of the suggestion that Ne
groes might be accepted as recruits
Mr.. Daniels had made various recon-
mendations for meeting the shortage
Of officers and men, none OF which
seemed adequate to the members Of
the committee.
"Representative Oscar Callaway.
Democrat, Of Texas finally asked the
secretary what he thought Of the ad-
Visibility of obtaining Negro recruits,
calling his attention to statements by
officers that the Negro troops were
good soldiers and good fighters.
Secretary Daniels did net approve
the suggestion. Instead he waved his
hand to the committee stenographer.

was also captured wh CHI consisted
Of a first class pair of wire pliers.

ADVERTISIN RA T ES
Washington Letter
By Edward Heating

district.
Uncle Sam has about 700. 1000
men under arms. AND EVERY
ONE A VOLUNTEER! Up to
date, not conscript has been
called to the colors.
During the debate on conscripti
on those of us who favored the
voulenteer system insisted that
we could raise an army of Volun-
teers faster and with less friction
than any army of conscriptions.
Our opponents laughed at our
claims, and loudly proclaimed
that the volunteer system had al
ways been a failure.
The proof Of the pudding is
in the eating.
Despite the passage Of the cor
scription law, hundreds of thous-
ands of our young men have vol
unteered. and hundreds Of thous-
ands of others world h2Yr follow
ed their X tnpIe if v; had issued
a call for volunteers instead Of
passing the conscciption law.
l may be a bit old fashioned III
my Americanism, but | agree
with General Nelson A. Miles
one of the NEST famous Of vclun-
teers- that it will be q sad day
for the republic when nell may
say truthfuly that Columbia's S
sons have refused to volunteer to
fight in her defese.
Thank God, that day has not
arrived. When the nation needs
fighting men it can get them.
LAW MUST BE. OBEYED.
The conscription law is on the
statute books for the period Of
the war. The War department
is enforcing it skillfully and as
considerably as circumstance will
permit. So long as it is the law
it must be obeyed. In America
the majority makes the laws and
the minitority accepts them in
good faith until the minotory be-
comes the majority and is in a
position to repeal them.
After this war is over, conscrip
tion will be an issue in this coun-
try, and we will have an oppor-
tunity to fight it out on its merits
In the meantime, we must see
to it that no Stigma attaches to
the name "Conscript'.
"CONSCRlPT" and "VOLUN-
TEER" EQUAL.
So far as this war is concerned
we mus place the "conscriut
on the same footing as the ..vDl-
unteer'. We must remember
that most of the boys who ar"
conscripted would have volunteer
ed if it had not been for the an
nouEced change in the military
policy OF the government. They
waited for the ''call', and it came
in the form of conscription.
| am fearful that an attempt
will be made to differentitate be-
tween the two classes. Unthink-
ing men will sneeringly declare
that one went" and the other
was sent. This sentiment
should be squelched is it's incipi-
ency.
Every man who dons the khaki
will be member Of the new
Grand Army of the Republic.
In a financial sense, Congress
is disposed to be more g enerous
with the members of our new
army than it was with the men
who fought the Civil war and the
Spanish-American war.
