Better Schools.

Although committee is striving
to save and improve the schools in
nearly every progressive county in
Mississippi, no local committee is
yet working to ensure an education
for the boys and the girls in Mon
roe county.
Unquestionably committee of Wig
orous citizens and school men should
organize in this progressive county
before the August meeting of the
board of supervisors. said F. d..
Mellen, State director of the better
schools campaign. These progress
siye citizens will make sure that
children at least keep educational
step with the youth of other counties.
Now that the dollar provides little,
additional funds are necessary to
maintain the schools and to secure

Race Riots:

Washington and Chicago have
been In the throes of serious race
trouble within the past few days.
Many difficulties and much open
fighting has occurred between ne
groes and whites and many lives
have been lost and many others
have been hurt Papers and maps
were recently found In New York
indicating that arrangements were
being made to send negro preachers
into the south for the purpose of
secretly organizing and training the
colored race for an uprising. In
Chicago it seems to be conceded
that the trouble can be traced to
efforts to give the negro political
equality, which is usually suggested
and planned by some degenerate
white man who desires To use the
negro in politics for low and selfish
motives. The colored people every
where should remember that the
white man who advises them to get
into politics is not their friend and
is doing them an injury rather than
a favor. In Mississippi where we
get along very well with the colored
people a white man would suggest
that a negro register and vote in
any election would he considered an
enemy to his government. traitor
10 his race and earbuncle on So
ciety.
Since there has to be race trouble
we are glad that it happened in
Washington and Chicago. the two
cities where there has been much
sickly sentiment and false protesta-
tions of friendship for the negro be-
cause of the selfish motives of a few
ignorant and vicious whites who
wanted to make certain political
capital out of the negro. The best
friend the negro has on earth is the !
southern white man who deals hon. |
estIy and frankly with him. The
negro question may be likened to q |
volcano which is liable to eFupt at |
any minute.-Ripley Sentinel.

Dear Friends-Tbe conditions
that now exist in tho State and in
the entire country am without par
allel. Every person from every walk
of life should take an active part in
adjusting matters.
The South demands our immedi-
ate attention. To fsucceed. the la

exorbitant and not always right. but

in such manner az to make them

Educational Association has been
working on plans for some time that
will settle this vexed question and
satisfy the laboring class The writer

annual session in Tunica, Miss. on
Tuesday and Wednesday. Aug. 18th
and 18th. 1919.
We are asking that every COM
munity, town, plantation, church
and association send a representa-
tive to this meeting. These repre-
sentatives should be from among
the leaders, such as preachers. teach
eTs. stewards, deacons and women
whom the laboring class look up to.
These delegates can learn much and
go back to their respective commu-
mites and do much good in telling
the people the news.

and industrial plant send a person
to this meeting.
Advice from able persons from
both races will be given TO the ne

raised with yeast and set over night to

and a small hole cut in the centre. and

One Night Spectacle Disappears.

The abolition Of the night court for
women is a good thing. AS Chief
Magistrate McADoo said yesterday at
the opening Of the new day court for
female offenders, there was something
medieval about the process of admin
istering justice after dark. 1t is true
that the night court was established
for the apparently good purpose of
ending the bail bond evil, but that
nuisance should not exist under the
new system.
But what is to become of the jaded
sensation hunters who went to the
night court as spectators when there
wasn't a thrill left for them in the
theatres? Cannot benevolent gov
eminent start something for them ?
The addlcts who take drugs physically

why can't something be done for those

bidity? Shut off suddenly from their
favorite vice, what may happen?
Some of these night court sddicts

PetIura's Success in Russia.

According to dispatches from cast
ern Galicia SIMON PETLCRA, the
leader OF the Ukrainian peasantry, has
defeated the First BOlshevist army.
which has been operating along the
Pripet River near the northern boun-
diary of Ukraine. He forced the sur
render of this army, obtaining a con-
siderable supWy-nf guns and ammunl-
ton, Of which the Ukrainlan peasants
were much in need, and secured the
adhesion of 10000 Bolshevist troops,
mostly eastern Ukrainians, who had
been drawn to the support Of LENINE
and TRoTzKY through force and the
propaganda from Moscow.
More than all PErLURA has kept
his promise made months ago to the
Allies to cut in behind the Bolshevlk
army that was sent to control the
Russian Black Sea coast and to force
direct land route from Russia 10
Hungary and Central Europe PET
LURA was confessedly a problem to
the Allies. Through his influence over
the peasants and the small landhold-
ers he was able TO collect a force
which in cooperation with General
DENIKINE's Cossacks defeated Gen
eral SKoRoPADsKI's army and over
threw his government. While 1t was
true that SRoRoPADsKI was the repre-
sentative of the Austrian and German
landed interests and as Hetman ap-
pointed by the German Government
merely Berlin agent, the Allies were
not certain that PETLuRA, If not n
tool of LENINEs, was not working
hand in hand with him.
At a recent conference with Allied
and American representatives at
Odessa PETLURA overcame much of
the doubt regarding the sincerity of
his support of the Allies. He then
outlined campaign against the Boil
shevlkl, Of which the attack upon
their forces along the Pripet was the
preliminary stage. He has also sue
