Better Schools

1t is the duty of every voter
to attend the November election
and cast his vote as he sees fit
and especially is this true of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment. In short, this amendment
gives the legislature the right to
money to help aid
and assist the poorer counties in
the state to have better schools.
1t in no way changes the present
basis of distribution but it does
give the legislature the right to
equalize the school term through
out the state. This is wise, for
the state is equally Interested in
every child and should give all
an equal chance to make good,
citizens.

Is the American Negro Doomed
to AnnihilatiOn?

Two great questions confront
the American people today the
labor question and the race
question. With US in the South
the race question is simply the
adjustment between the white
and the black races.
The negro did not come to
America. he was brought as &
slave He is now a free Ameri-
can citizen without any effort on
his part. That he is dissatisfied
with his lot as it is, is already
obvious. Each individualof that
race, as do all Americans, holds
his destiny in his own hands.

his race, in a recent issue of his
magazine, The Crisis, says:

State Aid for Roads

A bill will be introduced in
the next legislature to issue
twenty five million dollars of
bonds based on the auto tax for
the purpose of aiding in road
construction. We oppose any
such legislation for it is unfair to
those progressive counties and
districts that have already con-
structed roads and where the
greater per cent of the autos are
to be found. The same is true
of government aid all pay alike
and only a part get the benefit
and that part sometimes lag

We would not oppose such a
move were the funds to be used
in connecting links of roads
where needed to complete sys-
TEN of roads provided the dis
tricts to receive the aid had al
ready expended say Is per cent
of the amount they could bond
for on roads. We believe in
trying to help those who try to
help themselves.

Fred ]. Mcdonnell

Truly hath a prince and a
great man fallen this day in
Israeli. Every age and every
community produce few char
acters that rise like mountain
peaks against the skyline. Such
was Fred ]. Mcdonnell. No
finer type of christian manhood,
no more princely character, no
more splendid gentleman ever
walked among US.
He was born in Huntsville,
Ala. March a, 1852, where he
grew to manhood. In 1876 he
moved to Ripley, Miss, and
taught school one year, then
moved to his farm near OkoIona
where he lived thirteen years,
moving then into Okolona in
1891 where he lived until his
death, July 81, 1919.
In 1876 he was married to
Miss Cora Harris Gilliard. of
Ripley. Nine splendid sons and
daughters grew to manhood and
womanhood in their home, eight
of whom survive, Miss Mary
dying six years ago. Four sons,
Fred, Archie, Augustus and j.
S., and four daughters, Mrs. L.
P. Haley, Mrs. j. R. Buford,
Mrs. K. G. Rogers and Miss
Elizabeth and a devoted mother
survive him. Fond of his home
and his family he literally gave
himself to them. He was abund-
antly rewarded in the joys of
his success.
He never sought popularity,
and cared little for politics.
He was a patriot and a states
man. He wasa member of the
Constitutional Convention in
1890, for years he was president
of the School Board and of the
Official Board of his Church.
He was a leader of men, safe,
sane and conservative, but be-
lieving in a aggressive policy.
He loved the quiet of home and
farm life. He cared little for
lodges or orders. He was life
long member of the Methodist
Church, for years experimenting
its School, teaching a Bible Class
for eighteen years and President
of the Official Board. He was
an informed man, a4Aanl Of cul-
ture, and old time Southern
Christian Gentleman, His home
was one Of culture and piety, a
home of hospitality. He has
gone from US but will not be
forgotten. He lives on in the
many lives he touched, his
memory loved and honored.

has many docks. To some of
these any ship may tie up, at
others, only specially designed
vessels may discharge their
caro-; and at others yet, no ves-
sci has ever landed, for they are
mere myths.
The Dock of Social Equality. =
AT this dock the race ship can
never land. To attempt land
ing at this dock is but to find an
easy passage to the port Of
Death. For therefs no such
dock in the port of Freedom. :"
There never has been such a
dock there and it is not likely
one will ever be constructed.
There is no social equality among
the white race and any claim set
up by the negro to such is but
an acknowledgement of his own
social inferiority and of his in
capacity to establish for himself
a coat to his liking. With the
white there is the exclusive cir
Gle, the inner circle the 400's
and other casts to which those
on the outside can scarcely gain
admission, and can never do so
by simply demanding it. And
should one succeed in entering
the inner circle the place would
be strange and out of keeping
with the ideas and desires that
prompted the entrance, for the
only way to social equality is to
be socialIy(equal and that condi-
ton is not likely to ever exist.
The Dock of Universal Suffer
age. If the Race" ship would
land here, the question arises,
What cargo have YOU? Is it
the lack of the ballot that is the
disturbing cause? If so, what
has the race TO offer? Has the
negro a better civilization to
offer than he now enjoys?
Would voting, better his condi-
ton in any particular way? We
think not. Ignorance and vice
can never successfully conduct a
government for the good of the
governed. 1t was just for this
reason that the present condition
of affairs in our political situa-
ton was brought about. For
this very reason Isaiah Montgom-
cry realizing the need of intelle-
gent rule in government voted
for Mississippi's present con-
stitution, knowing at the time
that it was taking away the bal
lot from thousands and thousands
of his race. In this. particular
the deed is done, the die is cast
and there is but one way that
the negro can ever again enter
freely into the election ballot,
and that is by demonstrating
that Tie race as whole is capa-
BILE of self government. Then
and then only will the doors be
thrown open.
The Dock Of Equal and Exact
Justice. Here any ship may tie
up, and no questions asked.
Our constitution guarantees life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
nesr. These we have in a very
large measure. True, the rich
and the poor, the high and the
low are not always accorded
equal and exact justice. But in
this particular the negro fares
enevbetter than the poor and
humble whites. Many of his foil
ables are overlooked by all men
and whenever he is brought into
court he has the same opportunity
as his white neighbor with often
the addition of some influential
white man to help him over the
rough places in his entangle-
ments with the law. True
negroes are often lynched- too
often. But this is in his own
hands and keeping. Two things
that the race can do will stop
