county who are, in our opinion, not
as good as decent negroes, if the de-
cent negroes were eft alone and not
| contaminated by them. With that
sort of politicians it is "to hell with
the white mans county" and every
thing else respectable, so long IS
they can get into office. That is
their single object and aim.
| AS we say, this deplorable condi-
tion has come upon US in recent
years. 1t has come upon us so sud-
denly that some hardly realize ths
meaning of its far-reaching consc
quences.
Think of it, we say. The white
people of this county must put up
1000 or 5000 of their citizens votes
to be slaughtered by negro votes be-
fore they can get from under the
avalanche of black, british ignor-
ance, that knows nor cares no more
for tn r'ghs than that MANY yahcos
from N y;!,des. Iuns!.; OF be
nighted Africa. We repeat, think OF
it. If you have any brain at all yor
will think it is hell and damnation.

The G:str @ohiseme,.: of t!:e Whit
people Of Pemiscot county by tbs
ignorant negro vote has gonc pretty
far, but it must go no further. This
DANCE" poin; h&s been reached.
The negro, himself, is rot Sc
much to blame. They ara not par
ticularly anxious to vote. And tn
intelligent ones of the race. = mr.

cratic ticket as, being most helpfn
to the common people. 1t = N
herding and he driving of tha negro
voters to the polls like SO many
dumb animals and voting them /"
solid block for the Republican
ticket, that is objectionable.
We say again, the negro question
is the political issue in Pemiscot
question. We had something to say
about this issue last week, and be
cause we said it, lost Republican
subscriber, one who came from Illl-
nois. the S.ate in which Eas t 81
Louis is locS ted. and it is yet {. ash
in the mind, OF many what happens,
to the NEGROES there. Oh, ho''
the northern Republican politicians
love the negro as they ride upon his
back into office, and Oh, how the
go after hirr and hi with blyonet
and gun ard torch when he steps
nnocently upon their toe. Pool
negro! Blind as a bat! Yet ir
bondage, The slave OF the Rcpub-
lean party! The servant OF the
master who rides upon his back
while he makes him furnish his own
grub!
We know there are many Republi-
,ans who look upon the negro ques
tion the same as we do, but If there
are among them those who cannot
stand the pressure of our remarks
in behalf of the white men and wo-
men of Pemiscot county, right here
is pretty good getting off place

THE NEGRO ISSUE.

The immediate and unmistakable
is the deluge of negro votes tina,
have recently come upon us with
almost the suddenness of the Gal
weston disaster. And it has prove.
almost as devastating in it's conse
auences.
America is called "a white mans
country" BY every right that 1!
what it should be. This Nationa
right, however, is lessening as tn;
years go by. A certain class oi
brainless and heartless politicians
would destroy this right entirely
Some portions of the country have
awakened to this impending danger.
In the South both Democrats and Re-
publicans stand together on local is
sues. The fear of the BLACK
Plague" has forced the southern
people to stand together upon the
first law of nature-self-preser
tion. 1t should and would be so in
Pemiscot county, Missouri, If the
people here but realized the black
ness of the shadow the newly ar
rived Ethiopian is casting athwart
the doorways of their homes! After
the harm has been done the remedy
will be harder to apply Now is the
t;,,,, fnr rnit,- nf action
Pemiscot county few years ago
was white mans county" Twen-
ty-five years ago there were not a
dozen negro families within the cor-
fines of our borders. 1t is not so
now, and may never be so again AT
least, not until all right thinking
white people come to realize it to BIZ
their duty to vote the same local
ticket. It was the negro vote that
put the Republican party in power
in this county in 1920. The leaders
of that party sank to the most
damnable depths of political de-
bauchery to win the election. Not
satisfied with voting their hordes OF
qualified blacks, they spent their
time and money to vote hundreds
not entitled to vote. This same gang
is preparing at the present for a
repetition of the same practice, be-
ing encouraged by the success OF
their former efforts. They openly
boast that their work in this respect
is to be on a larger scale. Some o,
these Republican politicians say
they will vote at least 1000 negroes
while yet others say their black ava
lanche will sweep down and inun
date more than 5000 white votes il
this, formerly white mans coun
ty." They expect the black food o
billy goat stink and Ethiopian WOO
to sweep everything before it, bear
ing them upon its crest to victor!
and success! White man, think o
that! White woman, think o
that! Can you, as good citizen
and in your own interest, go alonI
with this sort of crowd and cas-
your vote with them? The choice il
yours. 1t Is up to you.

THOUGHT HIS ORDERS MOOR
RECT.

1t ;s grave situation which i:
suggested by the report that tAa
Frisco wreck at Horine, Mo-, We'd
nesday was caused by disregard of
orders which the engineer thought
" re incorrect"
a fatal accident hanIened. Z
wss the engineers thinking, not
the orders handed him, which was
mistaken. If the same kind of haz-
crdiIs OF opinion which caused III,
rage collision . week bes>re at Su.
phur Springs was ut the bottom OF
the later disaster, one more example
OF the evil Of taking things for
granted has been entered in thc
record of railway wrecks.
There must be more dependable
basis for human action in vital mat
ters than mere supposition that a
suspected or possible condition is ar
actuaiity. Backing a groundless
opinion with the lives of men,
women and children is a shocking
procedure.-St Louis Times.

AUTOISTS FIRED UPON.
Two Piggott Men Targets for Stran-
gers When They Fail to Halt.

j. N. Crossno and H. A. Thrasher
of Piggott, Ark, while driving on
the highway a short distance north
of Portageville in Crossno's car last
Monday were called to halt by five
unidentified men on foot at the side
of the road in dark, secluded spot.
Attempting to check the speed of
the car, Crossno failed to make the
brake work, whreupon the five open
ed fire with revolvers as the automo-
bile was about 20 feet past them.
Crossno and Thrasher escaped injury
and forthwith speeded up.
One of the bullets was found i'm
bedded in the rear of the car about
one and a half inches below the
edge of the back curtain and marks
of two other bullets were noticed.
Seven shots were fired. The affair
was reported to officers at Portage
vile.
Crossno and Thrasher were re-
turning from Sikesoon, where they
had driven with Rev. l.. A. Webb,
evangelist of that city, who, the
day before, Sunday, closed two
weeks revival at piggott.
Neither Crossno nor Thrashar
could describe the appearance of any
of the men. They think the Incl
dent was an attempted holdup, or
that the parties were lying in wait
for others.

noon. These boys and girls will be
treated to free fish fry on this Oc-
casion. The Farm Bureau will fur
nish the fish and the merchants and
business men will furnish the
bread, coffee and lard. These boys
and girls will extend invitations tc
all of the schools and all of the citi,
zens of Pemiscot county. We are es
pecially urging the farmers and
their families to be present. II
may be necessary for the farmers
wives to prepare a basket in order
to have sufficient food for all, but
we are confident that fish Will b.
plentiful, and if you like this dish
YOU can come with good appetite
and be confident that you can ge
plenty to eat.
The program will consist of some
games and amusements for the chill
dren, and we plan to have some
amusements for the older folks. A
prize will be offered for the farmer
who can stage the best demonstra-
ton on calling hogs. Each farmer
will be given three distinct trials
and then the judges will decide who
should win. The ladies will proba-
bly be in a contest of calling chick
ems. We will also have some horse
shoes for those who like this game,
and probably some other things to
amuse those who attend.
A lesson will be given to the club
members through "a demonstration
on fitting a pig for the show. Mr..
Barnhart will dress up this pig as
it should be prepared for the show
ring, and all of the club members as
we'll as the farmers who are inter-
ested in growing hogs, should see
this demonstration.
Then we will call on few of the
local farmers and business men for
short talks. We do not plan to
burden the people with long speech
es, but the program will be one
worthwhile and full of interest and
amusement from the beginning to
the end. We are anxious to have
you present, especially for the din
ner.
