HOW THE SOUTH
TREATS THE NEGRO.

To the Editor of The World:
AS a Pennsylvania, but long resi-
dent in the South-Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Kentucky, Virginia, / read
with amazement the frequent editor
ial statements, interviews and teie-
grams in The World referring to
"the negro question" Here is a sam
pie from The World OF to-day, clip
ped from a first-page interview with
a negress, alleged refugee from Ok
IlahOma:
cts the same way all through the
South. We were all right while we
were slaves. But they took US from
Africa, or u parents, and let them
take us back if they don't want US
here. We don't want to be driven
like cattle"
Having such widely cultivated
sources of information, you must
know this statement has no founda-
ton. "All over the South" 1 found
responsible people most careful of the
welfare of the negro and his rights.
Thousands, hundreds of thousands, of
negroes are given clothing, fuel, food,
medicines, free of charge. The seeds
of discomfort and conflict find fruit
full soil in the minds of the idle, vic
iOus and ignorant. Negroes were
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
in and about Lincoln's home in
ILL.,, for the same basic
causes that prompted the Oklahoma
trouble. Oil has very little to with
It, except that oil and water wont
mix, not even if the Constitution Of
the United States commands it or the
powerful Republican Party jiggles the
mixer. Negroes are practically segre-
gated in New York City for the same
causes that separate them from the
whites in the South. Should the ne
yro presume too far in New York you
will also drive him to his quarters. =,
The real trouble with the negro Is
the curse of politics. Many Of the
negroes I saw and know in the South
we're naturally noble men and women
when left to follow their own bent:
'ut, like children, they are easily led +,
lway by the superficial glitter Of
promises of equality, wealth through
he influence Of politics etc. As y
IS some scalawag whispers to a peace
.blc negro, "Go get your rightsr"
hen the milk Of human kindness is
'oured and the dusky one is kell-bent
for trouble, which in due. time meets
him halfway.

The Dixie Herald is authority for the statement that the
board OF supervisors of Calhoun County has reduced the assess
rnent of that County a million, five hundred thousand dollars be-
low last year. The Sumner Sentinel states that the board of
supervisors of Tallahatchie County reduced the assessment of
that County Is per cent below what it was last year. A twenty
five per cent reduction in Tallahatchie County means a reduc-
ton of about $4,000, 900, as we recollect the tax records of that
County. A great many boards of supervisors cut the assess
ment in the face of the threat of the Tax Commission.

the Sermon on the Mount, if the opportunity were given him.
They believe that his actions during the last four years show him
to be out of harmony with the Democratic party, and that he is
more nearly in sympathy with the Republican party than with
the Democratic party.
These and sundry other reasons. form the basis for the we'll
crystalized sentiment in Mississippi that the best place for the
Senator is in private life.

CHAUTAUQUA
DATINCS
Ellison White Organization
Promises Successful Pro-
grams Other Features

Dates for the 1921 Ellison White
Chautauqua in Grangeville have been
definely fixed as June II to June 26,
according to a letter received by Har-
old Harris from the Portland office of
this popular Chautauqua circuit Under
this schedule the Chautauqua pro-
grams win start Tuesday afternoon
and terminate Sunday evening.
This years Chautauqua is guaran-
teed by citizens of the town and
country as individuals, rather than by
an organized Chautauqua association.
During last years successful programs
in the city advocates of the Chautau.
qua canvassed the city and placed suf-
hcient guarantees Of ticket purchases
for the 1921 programs to insure a
session here the coming summer. 1t
is expected that the leaders in the
movement will call a meeting Of the
guarantors soon and form a local as
sociation to manage the coming Chau-
tauqua.
Ellison White Chautauquas have al
ways been deservedly popular in
Grangeville and at other towns on the
Prairie and it is expected that the
1921 sessions in the county seat will
be the most successful in the history
of the Chautauquas in this part of
the country. 1t is quite likely that
baseball games, played early each af-
ternoon, will be arrasged as an extra
attraction during Chautauqua week.
