Good Point, Of the Arabs.

Travellers ascribe to the Arabs many
virtues, says q bulletin Of the National
Geographic society. They are proud
and earnest people, sharp witted. cou-
rageous. temperate and hospitabie. but
when wronged are bloodthirsty and
yenceful. One Of their most striking
characteristics Is their great love Tor
poetry. The children Of the nomads
az well as the offspring of the fellahs
are early taught to read, write ana
calculate, as might be expected OF the
descendants OF that race which gave
us our Arabic numerals.

AN ACTIVE CHRISTIAN LIFE.

In all professions there are men
who count their moments as Jew
els of time to be used each hour
in some useful endeavor, seeking
always to put ms much into life aS
possible and allowing results to
t Ike care of themselves. 1t is need
less to say that such men always
find their time called for and are
everywhere in demand. 1t is al
ways the man who is trying to get
as much out of life as possible.
without any thought of trying to
put something in t, that finds
himself half engaged and always
seeking something To do. A strik-

MOTHERS DAY EXERCISES

Special services in honor of

morrow. To many, the name
Mother" will bring sad recollec-
tions and poignant grief, because
of her recent passing from our as
sociations here, to another home,
land beyond this vale. To 9TH
ers, it will bring fond memories of
by-gone days when mother" was
the center of home and the morn
ing star of their lives. To others
it will mean n present conscious
ness of guiding hand which the
halo of final passing into the
great beyond has not made sacred
and mellowed their lives by its
pail. But to all, it is the most
cherished of all names applied to
human beings. How sacred then

NEGRO LABOR EXODUS
CAUSES CRISIS In SOUTH.

SPECIAL To THE FORUM
West Point. Miss. - At mass
meeting of West Point and Clay
county citizens, the labor situa-
tion, resulting from the departure
of thousands of Negroes for the
North, was discussed. A resolu-
ton was passed providing for the
appointment of committee of 20
to inform each labor agent in the
county that his business is ruin
Gus to- the county and also to re-
quest him to desist from recruit
ing Negro labor for other parts of
the country.
The labor situation in many
parts of Mississippi is approach
ing crisis. In fact, the whole of
the South is aroused blythe daily
exodus of laborers, aud action,
similar to that taken at the West
Point meeting, is being urged in
other placess Some of the more
conservative employers advise less
drastic action.
1t is pointed out that the labor
agents have the protection of the
law and that complications will
inevitably result if the citizens
proceed with the single idea that
the only way, in which they can
hold their labor, is literally eject
ing the agents from their districts.
Making conditions in the South
more attractive to the Negro la
borer will, it is said, be more
peaceful means of forcing the la
Dor agent TO close his doors.
