A very common form of Rheu-

tiny disease germs which infest the

treatment. therefore. is one which
cleanses the blood of these germs,

point a standing committee for the
purpose of making careful study of
the causes underlying race friction
with view to recommending proper
means for their removal.
In the opinion Of Senator Spencer
the white and colored peoples in the
United States can be developed ex-
cept on the principles of justice, CO.
operation and race integrity, but in
sisted that the negroes should be
treated with justice.
The increasing number of educated
colored people in the country is max
ing the problem of adjustment be-
tween the races more and more dif-
ficult, he said While it is essential
that the colored people should be ed
ucated and iliteracy wiped out if they
are to make the best kind of citizens
he pointed out that this very educa-
ton is making the negroes more dis
satisfied with the treatment that has
| been accorded them. Social equality
! by which is meant the mingling OF
the races in social matters, Senator
| Spencer neither expects nor believes
| is advisable. He believes that each
should maintain its integrity, and so,
! cial intercourse would not be feasible
With the population of the United
| States more than one-tenth colCred
| and the number of colored people
growing all the time, Senator Spen
Ger is convinced that the time to tao
kle this race problem is now. The
latest census figures available shoV
that the estimated white population
in continental United States was 81
i 624,941 in 1917, and the estimate
population of the colored race wa
4 100000 in the same year.
Senator Spencer's bill creating tn
!, inter-racial commission has been re
/ ferred to the Senate judiciary com
: mittee. He intends to press for act
: ion upon it, and may ask for hearing

come necessary to impress upon tn

CIRCUIT COURT
OPEN SESSION
ON NEXT MONDAY
THE CIVIL TERN WILL OCCUPY
THREE WEEKS AND CRIMINAL
CASES ONE WEEk-HEAVY
DOCKET.

The May Term of Circuit Court will
convene in Greenwood on next Mon
day, May 3rd with Judge S. F. Davis
Of Indianola presiding The first
three weeks will be occupied with Civil
cases and during the last week the
Criminal docket will be tried.
There has been some discussion OF
pretermitting this term, owing to the
busy season for tn eplanters, but it
is not believed that this will be done
on account of the unusual heavy dock
ct for the May term. Last November
the Circuit Court term was preterm-
tilted and during the January many
cases were continued until May ses-
sion, causing a heavy docket for dis
posal at the coming term. Some OF
the Civil cases are ten and eleven
years old.
About 1872 civil cases will be tried
at the ensuing term and 60 criminal
cases are scheduled to be called. Five
murderers are in the county Jail await
ing trial.
The printed docket has been com
pleted and has been distributed among
the attorneys. The cases are set fol
each day of the term.
Sheriff Vardaman stated this morn
ing that this term of court would not
seriously interfere with the planter:
or thei rlabor He explained thai
should the term be pretermitted untl
November, the planters would then bt
equally busy picking cotton. Mr.. Var
daman is opposed to the pretermitt
ing of the May term, owing to thu
| large amount of business to be trans
acted.

and the grand jury will be selected
from the following list:

UNITER STATES RACE PROBLEM
Senator Spencer Proposes Fedora
Commission To Study Question
: And Report To Congress
Recommendations. :

WASHINGTON,ts April 25-Believ-
ing that the race problem in the Unit
ed States is assuming more and more
proportions, Senator Spencer of Mis-
souri, has proposed the creation of a
federal commission to study the entire
question and report to Congress it's
recommendations. In bill introduc-
ed by him provision is made for the
appointment of commission of nine
members, to be named by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate.
Three of the commissioners are to be
white men from the North, three are
to be white men from the South, and
three are to be negroes.
Such a combination, Senator Spen-
Ger says, should be abe to obtain IN
formation of great value and to form
ulate recommendations for Legislation
which would aid in settling the differ
ences which now exist. The commits
sion, under his plan, would be author
lied to summon witnesses, administer
oaths, and examine into racial condl-
tions in the United States with view
| to ascertaining as far as possible the
reasons of race discord and race hat
red.
Grace hatred" said Senator Spen-
GER, ais, l am afraid, on the increase
! instead of on the decrease today
When such troubles as those which
visited Washington, the National Cap
ital, last year, and Chicago and Eas
| St. Louis, can occur, it is evident thai
! something is radically wrong.'
He proposes that the members Of
the commission shall be divided int
three groups, each composed Of tW'
white men and one colored, and tina
one group shall be appointed for
term of three years, one for terms o
two wears and the third for terms O.
one wear. The bill carries an appro
priation of $4,000. The commission
ers are not to receive any salaries
hut are to have all their expenses pal
while they are on active work for tn
commission.
81 think that perhaps one or NOR
: women should be included in the mem
bership of the commission" said tn
Missouri Senator. "The comm1sslo
is to report to congress IN Decemoe

it might be made permanent con
